WINGATE, NC -- The 12th-ranked Railsplitters locked up the No. 1 seed in the 2013 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament and at least a share of the SAC regular season championship with a 63-60 to win over the Wingate University Bulldogs on Wednesday evening in Wingate, North Carolina. With the win, Lincoln Memorial University (21-4, 14-3 SAC) grabbed their fifth-consecutive victory and capped season sweep over Wingate (17-8, 13-4 SAC).
By capturing the victory over the Bulldogs, who were tied with the Railsplitters atop the SAC standings heading into tonight's contest, the Railsplitters sealed the No. 1 seed for the SAC Tournament and put themselves in prime position to win the regular season championship. A win over Catawba College on Saturday night would clinch the SAC regular season championship outright, earning the Railsplitters' their second title in the Josh Schertz era. The Railsplitters won both the 2010-11 SAC regular season and tournament championships.
Alongside the storyline involving the South Atlantic Conference implications of the win, senior Cam Carden became the 23rd player to join the 1,000 Point Club at Lincoln Memorial, as he netted 16 points on four-of-seven shooting with three trifectas to move his career total to 1,004 points scored.
Offensively, the Railsplitters were led to victory by the stellar effort of junior forward Vincent Bailey. Bailey led all scorers with 21 points on the night, grinding out that mark on a seven-for-16 effort from the field with a seven-for-10 mark from the charity stripe, while pacing Lincoln Memorial to a 39-34 rebounding advantage with a team-leading 11 boards. Dustin Craig sparked the 'Splitters off the bench with eight points on three-of-four shooting. Lorenza Ross bolstered the LMU offensive attack by chipping in with seven points, dishing out four assists and reigning in five rebounds.
The Railsplitters finished with a 41.7% mark from the field, edging the Bulldogs, who were limited to a 40.3% clip marked with a dismal one-for-19 effort from long range. Odell Turner headlined Wingate's offensive efforts with 18 points on eight-of-13 shooting to go along with a game-high 13 rebounds. He was aided by the performance of Ryan Daye, as he turned in 13 points. Daye needed 17 shots to tally that mark, connecting on only four of those field-goal attempts. The Railsplitters limited Turner's back court running mate Deion Turman to only two points on one-for-three shooting in the contest.
Lincoln Memorial earned the victory despite being outscored 42-24 in the paint and committing 13 turnovers which led to 14 points for the Bulldogs.
In a back and forth contest that saw the game tied on six occasions and the lead switch hands 14 times, the Railsplitters found a way to come up on the top of the final momentum shift. The Bulldogs used a layup by Xavier Griffin to take a 52-51 lead with 6:25 remaining in regulation. From that juncture, the Railsplitters got three free throws from Cam Carden and a pair of freebies from Vincent Bailey to swing a 5-0 run and take a 56-52 lead with 5:26 to play.
The Railsplitters would bend but never break over the final five minutes of action, as Paidrick Matilus nailed two free throws to cut the lead back to two at the 3:33 mark. Cam Carden answered again for Lincoln Memorial with a jumper and a free throw to extend the lead to 59-54 with 2:47 left to play. The two teams exchanged free throws over the final minutes with the Railsplitters netting a freebie with 22 seconds left to make it 61-56. Ethan Kincaid quickly answered with a bucket on the other end for the Bulldogs but Jake Troyli made one of his two attempts at the charity stripe to push it back to a two-possession game. Kincaid once again scored for the Bulldogs to cut the game to 62-60 with eight seconds left and Troyli was fouled and sent to the line on the ensuing in-bounds play. After making one of his two attempts on his second go around, the Bulldogs had a game-winning attempt but Ryan Daye's shot went begging to give the Railsplitters a 63-60 victory in Wingate, Nort h Carolina.
The difference in the game came at the charity stripe, as the Railsplitters were sent to the line 27 times and connected on 19 of those attempts.
Lincoln Memorial is set to return to Tex Turner Arena on Saturday and cap the regular-season schedule with a matchup against the Catawba Indians. With a win in that contest, the Railsplitters would seal the South Atlantic Conference regular season championship outright. The night will also serve as Senior Day, as Cam Carden, Dustin Craig, Wally Jones, Jake Troyli and Jairocey Simpson are set to be honored in their final regular season game in Harrogate, Tennessee. That game is scheduled to tip at 8 p.m.

Police: Woman runs over husband for not voting
Published: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 5:16 p.m.
GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) — Police in Arizona say a Mesa woman injured her husband by running over him with an SUV because he didn't vote in last week's presidential election.
Authorities say Holly Solomon opposed President Barack Obama and was upset her husband didn't go to the polls.
The husband told investigators Solomon believed her family was going to face hardship if Obama were re-elected.
Police say Solomon chased her husband through a Gilbert parking lot, circled him as hid behind a light pole, struck him and pinned him under the vehicle as he tried to flee.
Solomon told police she was just trying to scare him but accidentally stepped on the accelerator.
She was booked on an aggravated assault count and it wasn't clear whether she has a lawyer.

How-To: Alter Video Speed with FFmpeg and mjpegtools
Unfortunately my Linux based non-linear editing tool of choice, Open Movie Editor, doesn't currently support directly altering video playback speed. For example, if you wanted a portion of your new compilation to run at 200% of original recorded speed, it can't be done within OME. This exact functionality was something I needed for an existing editing project.
After some thought and investigation, such changes can be achieved through using a combination of FFmpeg and yuvfps, which is part of mjpeg tools, to alter the framerate of the desired footage. If your original file is PAL based, with a framerate of 25fps, changing the framerate to 50fps will result in the video running twice as fast, for half as long.
I didn't initially have mjpegtools installed, but on my Debian based system this was easy enough with
sudo apt-get install mjpegtools
Next, the input video needs to be converted to yuv4mpegpipe format, passed through yuvfps and output to a new avi file. Here's the command line I used to create a clip at 50fps:
ffmpeg -i input.dv -f yuv4mpegpipe - | yuvfps -s 50:1 -r 50:1 | ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -b 28800k -y output.avi
Change the 50:1 ratios to whatever framerate you require. e.g. 100:1 for 100fps. Be sure to set the output file bitrate to a relevant quality level. Omitting this flag will result in a poor quality AVI output file by default.
The resulting AVI file was easily played back with Totem, and handled on the timeline admirably by OME.
Thanks to Victor Paesa on the FFmpeg mailing list for pointing me in the right direction.
Some other options to investigate include the new Libavfilter for FFmpeg and converting the original footage to a raw data file, which will lost the audio.

Thanks for the excellent tip.
I was having a problem of Audio desync for a video that I processed. After processing, I couldn't mux the audio correctly, due to the video being a different frame rate. I tried your method and it works very well. Thanks again !!!
February 15, 2010 at 09:57
Thank you very much for your article, but I still can not solve my problem😦
How to slightly speed up video?
For example to get 30.3 fps from 30 fps?
Even with pitch shifted audio?

The Daily Startup: Versant Ventures Takes its Biotech Incubator North
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Versant Ventures is expanding its Inception Sciences incubator to Canada, VentureWire has learned. Versant has launched three San Diego-based drug companies through Inception, an incubator it formed in 2011. Looking to capitalize on scientific talent displaced through recent pharmaceutical-industry cutbacks in Canada, Versant has created Inception Sciences Canada, said Operating Principal Jerel Davis.
Health-care gamification company EveryMove, which says it offers a "mileage rewards program for your health," raised a $3.5 million second Series A tranche from existing investors. Investors and industry analysts have long said that offering incentives to consumers to exercise more, eat healthier food, quit smoking or otherwise shape up makes clear financial sense, because a healthier population means less strain on the health-care system.
Also in today's VentureWire, Networking company Cyan filed plans for an initial public offering Thursday as investor interest in and demand for software-defined networking products increases…Asthmapolis, which helps asthma sufferers better track and manage their condition with sensors, smartphone applications and analytics, has raised a $5 million Series A round…and Radiation-detection semiconductor company Redlen Technologies has secured a strategic investment from In-Q-Tel.

Elsewhere around the Web:
Although Zynga went public in December 2011, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers is still its second largest shareholder. Now the venture firm will have two representatives on the board as General Partner John Doerr joins his colleague William "Bing" Gordon, who has been a director of the struggling gaming company since Kleiner Perkins's first investment about five years ago.
Twitter is finally breaking into Wall Street, where most banks have blocked it, as Bloomberg incorporates tweets into its widely used data service. It's another sign of how the messaging service is moving into the mainstream as more companies tweet news that could move markets.
Two online vehicles for investing in startups have survived scrutiny by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which issued "no action letters" to AngelList and FundersClub. Small Business Trends explains the very limited ramifications of these developments.

Situated just off Curzon Street in what used to be an Irish pub on Clarges Street, Burger & Lobster boasts a bar run by Soul Shakers – the same outfit that set up the bar at Meat Liquor. And, like Meat Liquor, it operates a no-booking policy, you just turn up and wait to be seated by the super-friendly front of house in the smart wood-paneled interior.
Once at your table, or sat at the bar, the menu is, in fact, a drinks menu. Well, when there are only three dishes to choose from consisting of either burger or lobster, there's really no need for a food menu. To drink, I ordered a pint of Sierra Nevada pale ale – something of a Burgerac favourite (they serve it in bottles in Byron). To find it here on tap was a joy!
The chips are absolutely delicious, the pickles have a lovely mustard seed twang and the patty consists of super-heavenly beef - beef so good that I didn't mind one jot that my medium rare burger was bordering on steak tartare rareness in places.

Writing, reading, meeting and greeting, such is the life of a soc-biz columnist. It's never dull. Merci.
Taking in the annual Christmas party at Copper Mountain, hosted by Carbonate Real Estate and Property Management owners Tom and Diane Malmgren and son Eric and wife, Victoria, means visiting with family and friends gained over decades.
This year's gathering offered the opportunity to meet a world-class mountaineer who has longtime ties to The Summit.
Thor Kieser, a native Coloradan, has returned to spend the winter in Frisco, along with wife, Joy Torreon of the Philippines.
Additionally, Thor is Kristie Huff's brother. She is married to Phil Huff, the UpSki developer and adventurer, computer expert and former Copper ski patroller. They are also all sailors.
Kristie is a Copper slope maintenance foreman with 33 years of on-mountain service.
Brother Thor, now 54, was on the Copper Mountain Ski Team from 1973-77, and lived here from 1979-83, working at Dick and Chuck Roy's Sharpshooter Photography a few seasons and as a cook in The Plaza at Copper and supervisor at Union Creek.
"In the summer I climbed and raced Star sailboats on Lake Dillon," he says.
Afterward, Thor attended the University of Denver, graduating in 1986, then founded Condor Adventures, and began a career as an international mountain guide, climbing and trekking in Asia, South America and Africa.
"I needed a way to access the big mountains and could only afford to get there through guiding," says Thor of starting his adventure company.
Since our meeting, Spike is reading Ed Viesturs' "No Shortcuts to the Top," in which Thor gets a lot of play during the life and death struggles in climbing K2, the world's second highest peak, in 1992.
Viesturs has bagged the world's 14 8,000-meter peaks and climbed Everest without supplemental oxygen. In his book he acknowledges the earlier backing of Ian and John Cumming of Mountain Hardware fame, who now own Copper Mountain Resort.
Also, in Ed's book, Thor's international affair with French climbing star Chantal Mauduit, whom he helped rescue on K2 with the aid of Ed and Scott Fisher, is well noted.
"I am glad he and Scott did not die in an avalanche trying to help me get Chantal down on K2," he says.
Later, Chantal would die in 1998 on Dhaulagiri, the world's seventh highest peak.
"I was not surprised to hear of Chantal's death as she was reckless and way too casual in her approach to big mountains," he notes.
"After guiding Everest in 1995," explains Thor, "I decided that guiding on 8,000-meter peaks was too risky and began investing in multi-family real estate in Denver. The next year on Everest (1996) was the guiding disaster and my feelings about big mountain guiding were confirmed. I was friends with Scott Fisher and Rob Hall and very close to Anatoli Boukreev, who climbed with me on Makalu and Broad Peak."
"The loss of Anatoli was hardest for me emotionally," Thor adds of his Russian climbing friend.
Those eight deaths were the basis for Jon Krakauer's book, "Into Thin Air," later adapted for the big screen.
"The death of many friends sobered my view of Himalayan climbing and by the year 2000 I had eased myself out of guiding because my real estate business had boomed," he says.
Some highlights of Thor's climbing career:
Second ascent of "The Fang" in East Vail, 1980; Cassin Ridge (Denali); new route on north face of Pucarana in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru, and many difficult routes in Peru; south face of Aconcagua; Cerro Torre in Patagonia; Rakaposhi; attempt of Everest West Ridge; climbed within 100 meters of K2 summit; Gasherbrum II; got within 60 meters of Makalu summit, Broad Peak; and a few big wall rock climbs in the USA - El Capitan, Sundevil Chimney on The Titan, among others.
His toughest adventure: "My experience on K2 is the most well known and perhaps the toughest, although I was more scared on some of the difficult climbs I have done in the Andes - solo the south face of Huayna Potosi; solo the north face of Illampu; south face of Pisco was very scary and we were lucky to survive the steep, thin, unprotected ice and loose snow."
Thor has climbed with Eric Malmgren, also an international mountain climber, now 37.
"Eric and I have climbed extensively in the USA and he went with me to Aconcagua and Broad Peak early in his career," Thor recalls.
Currently, "We are in Frisco to ski," he notes. "I am rock climbing these days, but retired from ice climbing when the sport got too popular 10 years ago - so I won't be climbing in Summit or Eagle counties this winter."
"In the spring, summer and fall we will live in our Airstream trailer and travel domestically for climbing, mountain biking and kiteboarding," says Thor, "mostly spending our time in the western USA with occasional international adventures to Asia, and perhaps Europe."
"Joy is fairly new to climbing. I will encourage her to realize her full potential as a climber and see where we end up," he emphasizes.
Miles F. Porter IV, nicknamed "Spike," a Coloradan since 1949, is an Army veteran, former Climax miner, graduate of Adams State College, and a local since 1982. An award-winning investigative reporter, he and wife Mary E. Staby owned newspapers here for 20 years.

The best thing i have ever brought for internet
Reviewed by Joseph. Review Posted 07/06/2012
they arrived the next day from dispatched, opened them up plugged one in downstairs connected the Ethernet wire (which came with it) in to my router went ups stairs plugged the other one into the wall then connected it with the other Ethernet wire (that came with it) into my desktop and it connected instantly the reason i brought these is because i could not even get a wireless signal in my bedroom in my new house which is a good bit away from the router. I have used this for gaming and i have gotten the best connection i have ever had with them. i would recommend to any one to buy these adapters they do exactly what they say.

Good performance, a bit tricky to set-up
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 11/07/2012
It took me an hour or so but I've now got 4 of these working fine with data rates from 150 to 80 Mbps. The lowest is remote from the other 3 and on a 4-way extension lead, so no real surprise. This is why I've given 5 stars overall. I started out by following the instructions and holding the "link" button in for 8s on the 1st adapter and then running through the house to do the same on the next adapter. This wasn't too successful. I then installed the SW utilities that came with the adapters on my Win XP box. These allow you to reset the adapter directly connected to the machine running the SW utilities and view the other adapters on the network. Once they had all been reset they signed in OK without me needing to press the "link" button. This was a bit fiddly and is the reason for the 3 stars for ease of use. Great for video streaming from my router to my Sony TV.

Just plug them in and switch on. Provided you can switch the second one on within 2 minutes of the first one, there are no problems.

OK on same ring
Reviewed by Paul. Review Posted 28/04/2012
This works well as long as both plugs are on the same ring main. In most houses that means the same floor. In our case to go from downstairs to upstairs the signal had to go all the way to the switchbox in the garage and then back, and bandwidth (as reported by the included tool) went down to 20 Mbit. Between rooms on the same floor we get 180-200 Mbit.
The plugs only have 100 Mbit Ethernet ports, so you will never see the claimed 200 Mbit unless you have another pair of plugs running data in parallel.

Simple to use and works well
Reviewed by Peter. Review Posted 17/04/2012
This kit really is as easy to set up as the description suggests, though if you want to increase security by creating a private network you'll have to install a utility on a Windows PC.
I'm getting a link speed of 160 Mbps with one adapter on the downstairs ring main and the other on the upstairs one. Just remember not to plug either end into a power strip as that will totally kill the performance.
I've subtracted one star from the overall rating for the stingy 1 metre Ethernet cables included in the pack. 2 metres would have been much more like it!

Former UNC employee to testify for US Senate committee
Published: Thursday, May 8, 2014 at 1:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 8, 2014 at 1:55 p.m.
WASHINGTON — The reading specialist who questioned the literacy level of athletes being admitted to North Carolina will take part in a U.S. Senate committee hearing on whether the NCAA exploits college athletes.
In an email to The Associated Press, Mary Willingham said she will testify to the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation during Wednesday's hearing. Willingham recently resigned from UNC, which has spent the past three years dealing with an academic scandal involving athletes.
The committee hasn't released a witness list for the hearing on "Promoting the Well-Being and Academic Success of College Athletes."
The Chronicle of Higher Education first reported the hearing and said former UCLA player Ed O'Bannon also plans to testify. The O'Bannon antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA is scheduled to go to trial next month.

Larry Page's announcement that he suffers from partial vocal cord paralysis has put the Google (GOOG) CEO in the odd spot of giving voice to a disease that can leave its sufferers voiceless.
Page's explanation on Google+ (naturally) and his promise to put big bucks behind finding a cure, marked an abrupt acknowledgment that whatever had caused the 40-year-old executive's voice to temporarily go away last year wasn't itself going away any time soon.
But the episode also offers us three important truths about Silicon Valley.
First, this is a place with celebrities. True, Silicon Valley is no match for Hollywood in terms of instant recognition, but the valley has produced the sort of high-profile highfliers that our prying selves can't help but be curious about. Look no further than the charity bidding that ended this week with someone agreeing to pay $610,000 to spend half an hour or so over coffee with Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook.
Our celebrities are different from the sports and entertainment types but maybe not that different. They skew toward the young and rich, who live in fabulous homes -- or several fabulous homes. They are accomplished in ways that sometimes seem beyond our imaginations. And they'd be worthy of our envy, if we were the jealous sort.
Most are not TMZ material, but as the insatiable blogosphere blogs on we learn more about their personal lives and begin to think of our Silicon Valley celebrities as people we know. We've got Yahoo's (YHOO) Marissa Mayer, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. There's Larry Ellison, Woz (at last, a one-name celebrity) and Steve Jobs, who even in death continues to be a source of fascination. Our celebs have produced stories of weddings and babies and deaths too soon. They've provided tales of high-seas adventures, fabulous parties and ample ambition. They've been role models and cautionary tales.
And many feel a connection. Scroll through the comments on Page's Tuesday post. Amid the suggestions to try cactus juice or surgery or a fast and a weeklong vow of silence, are heartfelt words of encouragement and the stories of sons, friends and others who suffer from similar problems.
And here's the thing: Like it or not, celebrities are important. They have the ability to start or change the conversation. They often have the resources to change the world. When the beautiful and powerful Angelina Jolie steps forward to tell in detail of her decision to undergo a double mastectomy to decrease her significant chance of breast cancer, the world listens. When NBA veteran Jason Collins comes out as gay, people question their assumptions, their fears and their prejudices.
When a celebrity shines a light on a problem -- a problem with a potential solution -- people ask questions, the most important being: What can I do to help?
"It's about learning to rise above it and find a new 'normal,'" one well-wisher commented on Page's post. "Good luck on the research! I'm going to look more into this for my husband. And thanks for sharing ur story!"
The second thing Page's story tells us about Silicon Valley is that the "if you can dream it, you can do it" meme hatched here has distilled a new form of philanthropy. It's a movement that arises out of an arrogance that can be obnoxious and also very effective. I call it the smartest person in the room syndrome. This is a place crawling with people who believe nothing can outsmart them. Their response to an incurable disease is to create a timeline, design metrics and cure it.
And why not try? When Oracle (ORCL) founder Ellison became interested in prolonging life, he formed a foundation and backed it, he says, with $1 billion. The joke is that he's trying to find a way to live forever, but meantime the foundation has the potential to produce medical breakthroughs that could help many. Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who is genetically predisposed to developing Parkinson's disease, has donated more than $130 million to the effort to slow Parkinson's down.
"Pretty much everybody in the world has or will have some serious condition," Brin told Bloomberg a year ago. "How much is it worth to you to have that condition be potentially curable?"
Yes, I've wondered whether, in the end, these celebrity efforts are simply selfish. But I don't pretend to know what any of these celebrities are thinking. Meantime, whatever their motivations, they are making a cure more likely.
Which leads to the third truth Page's story illustrates: Even those who seem to be the most invincible are vulnerable. When it comes to matters of health, there is a power higher than ROI, IPO or C++, even in Silicon Valley. It's wise for all of us -- celebrity or not -- to keep that in mind.
After all, there are some problems in life that can't be solved by all the money in the world.

VAIL – Dr. J. Richard Steadman may have done more to help athletic careers than anyone in history, but the founder of the Steadman Clinic and The Steadman Philippon Research Institute has had enough.
He's retiring from active surgical practice.
"I cannot imagine a more fulfilling career than the one I have had as an orthopedic physician," Steadman said. "I'm lucky to have had so many patients determined to win again in their sports after serious knee injuries. Their will to succeed has played a large part in my success in treating them. Now I look forward to taking part in further research projects with SPRI scientists."
Steadman will still consult with his colleagues at The Steadman Clinic. He will also continue as co-chairman of the institute, the charitable arm that researches the causes, prevention and treatment of orthopedic disorders.
"Dr. Steadman is a great friend and an inspiration for all orthopedic surgeons," said Dr. Marc J. Philippon, managing partner of The Steadman Clinic. "He has been an outstanding pioneer in the world of sports medicine for years. His innovations have influenced the field and benefited countless patients. He had exceptional surgical skills, but he is much more than a surgeon. He is an amazingly caring physician. He is retiring from his surgical practice, but his innovative contributions will continue forever."
Steadman founded the nonprofit Steadman Sports Medicine Research Foundation in 1988 at South Lake Tahoe, Calif., where he began his orthopedic practice. The organization is now the Steadman Philippon Research Institute.
Early in his career at South Lake Tahoe, Steadman pioneered improvements in post-surgical rehabilitation, designed to shorten the healing process.
An Amazing Journey
Born in Sherman, Texas, Steadman graduated from Texas A&M University. As a freshman and sophomore he played football for legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant.
He earned his medical degree in 1963 from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, and served his internship at Charity Hospital of New Orleans. He was drafted into the U.S. Army and spent 1964-66 in Germany, returning to Charity Hospital where he completed his four-year residency.
He began his orthopedic career in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. in 1970. His reputation spread when he successfully treated U.S. Ski Team members and other professional athletes.
The Steadman Legacy
Steadman performed his first operation at the Vail Valley Medical Center in the summer of 1990.
"That day marked the beginning of 24 years of consistent and continuous success for The Steadman Clinic and for VVMC. The face of VVMC changed forever," said Doris Kirchner, president and CEO of Vail Valley Medical Center.
Steadman has treated more than 12,000 patients since relocating to Vail, including many elite athletes from various sports. Among them are some of the world's best-known athletes and public figures.
Cindy Nelson was the first elite athlete Steadman treated. Nelson won the bronze medal in the women's downhill at the 1976 Olympic Winter Games.
"Dr. Steadman is the single greatest influence on my life, and I share each of my successes with him," Nelson said. "Not only did he influence my competitive skiing career, helping me come back better and stronger after each of my injuries, he also helped me as a person. He inspired me with his humble character, his integrity, his incredibly innovative mind and his insatiable desire to help. My story is the same of many patients, athletes, doctors and skiing champions worldwide."
Steadman has been a consultant to the NFL's Denver Broncos and MLB's Colorado Rockies. He served as U.S. alpine chief physician at nine consecutive Winter Olympic Games from 1976-2006.
The attention for treating elite athletes is gratifying, but they made it their mission to help everyday people stay active longer.
"Helping people return to their normal lives and healthy physical activity has been just as rewarding as getting an Olympic skier back on the slopes or an NFL player back on the field," Steadman said.

The eighth-grade Project Lead the Way (PLTW) students are the first to complete the automation and robotics course this year at Montevideo Middle School.
Twenty-four students spent the semester exploring how robots are used in today's world, discovering their impact on society, investigating various mechanisms to determine their purpose and applications, as well as designing, building, wiring, and programming robots to complete a given function.
At one point, the eighth-graders ventured down to the fourth-grade wing to share their discoveries and knowledge with them. They spent time teaching and explaining the engineering
process and ideas behind the robots that they built.

Truly, No Extra Hour
Published: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 8:28 p.m.
Bill Rufty writes regarding state Sen. Darren Soto's year-round daylight saving time bill ["Bill Keeps Daylight Saving All Year," Feb. 20]. Some might get the idea that this actually creates an extra hour of daylight.
However a cursory study of celestial mechanics shows that there is no extra hour of daylight, but rather, you rearrange the existing light. In the winter, sunrise would not happen until nearly 8:20 a.m., with children going to school in darkness. The trade-off can be likened to cutting off your head and standing on it to gain height.
When DST is properly renamed "daylight shifting time," then this may become more apparent.

Roger moves on easily
Roger mastered the first step of the ATP-1000 tournament in Cincinnati with ease. He held serve throughout a 6-3, 7-5 win over José Acasuso, scoring a total of 14 aces and losing just five points when his first serve was in.
"I think it was a good match for me today," Roger said. "I'm happy to still be playing."
Roger's serve was near to perfect today, Acasuso had a hard time getting into the match. At 4-3 in the first set Roger had only dropped three points and the first set was over after just 27 minutes. Roger then saw himself confronted with excellent serves and seized the last opportunity to break his opponent and win the second set 7-5.
Roger will now meet David Ferrer who elminated Roger's fellow countryman Stanislas Wawrinka in the first round. Roger has won all matches against Ferrer so far, dropping just one single set.

Germany Has Built Clean Energy Economy US Rejected in 80s
From Bloomberg
By Osha Gray Davidson
The view from the Reichstag roof on a sun-drenched spring afternoon is spectacular. Looking out over Berlin from the seat of the German government, you can see the full sweep of the nation's history: from Humboldt University, where Albert Einstein taught physics for two decades, to the site of the former Gestapo headquarters.
I'm not here to see this country's freighted past, however. I've come to learn about what a majority of Germans believe is their future—and perhaps our own. There is no better place to begin this adventure than the Reichstag, rebuilt from near ruins in 1999 and now both a symbol and an example of the revolutionary movement known as the Energiewende. The word translates simply as, "energy change." But there's nothing simple about the Energiewende. It calls for an end to the use of fossil fuels and nuclear power and embraces clean, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass. The government has set a target of 80 percent renewable power by 2050, but many Germans I spoke with in three weeks traveling across this country believe 100 percent renewable power is achievable by then.
Such a massive power shift may sound impossible to those of us from the United States, where giant oil and coal corporations control the energy industry and the very idea of human-caused climate change is still hotly contested. Here in Germany, that debate is long over. A dozen years of growing public support have driven all major political parties to endorse the Energiewende. If a member of parliament called climate change a hoax or said that its cause is unknown, he or she would be laughed out of office.
"The fight now, to the extent that there is one, is over the speed of the transition," Jens Kendzia told me as we stood on the Reichstag roof. Kendzia is chief of staff for a leader of the center-left Green Party, which crafted the legislation responsible for the Energiewende's success.
In an interview later that day, Dr. Joachim Pfeiffer, a leading spokesman for the center-right Christian Democrats, boasted about the Energiewende's progress under his party.
"We'll definitely get to 35 percent renewable power by 2020," he said, referring to the next official target. "In fact, we'll probably reach 40 percent."
Pfeiffer isn't happy about every aspect of the campaign. He thinks the German public's call to eliminate nuclear power by 2022 was "an emotional reaction to what happened at Fukushima." But he's quick to add that this is just his personal belief. After all, the leader of his own party, Chancellor Angela Merkel, made the nuclear phase-out national policy in 2011. "Eighty percent of Germans are now against nuclear power," Pfeiffer explained, placing his hands on the table palms face up, in a gesture of capitulation. "It's over."

WILLIAMSTOWN The Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport's air-traffic control tower is on a list of potential closures due to automatic spending cuts scheduled next month.
On Friday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced 100 smaller air-traffic control towers could be closed from among a list of 200 such towers under consideration of being shut down. The local tower is part of this list.
"It's a pretty long list," said MOV airport manager Terry Moore. "There is a 50/50 chance that our tower will be closed, which is not good."

Moore said the tower's employees are provided by the Federal Aviation Administration through a contract with a company in Missouri to provide qualified employees to the tower.
"If our tower is one of the 100 closed, it would not shut the airport down or affect operations, but the impact would be safety," he said. "We would still run and have commercial, private and general aviation flights, just in an uncontrolled field."
Tower operations allow pilots to know where other aircraft are in the air and on the ground and where it is safe to go. Losing that safety would be the main concern, Moore said.
"I don't want to lose our tower because it is the only air-traffic control tower locally and it gives us a quality of credibility above other general aviation airports in the area," he said. "Pilots from Athens and other areas around us come here to train.
"It would be a great loss not only to the airport, but to the region and community to lose the tower," Moore said.
The local tower employs five highly trained and qualified air-traffic controllers.
In West Virginia, along with the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport's tower, the air-traffic control towers at airports in Bridgeport, Wheeling, Huntington and Lewisburg are being considered for closure.
Other airports listed include those in Napa, Calif., Walla Walla, Wash., and Hilton Head, S.C.
"The list is extensive and includes airports around the country," Moore said. "It would be bad if our tower was closed, but there are other potential cuts that would be far more devastating."
Those possible cuts include the loss of Essential Air Service, in which the local airport receives federal funding for the commercial air service now provided through Silver Airways to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, as well as cuts in military procedures. Moore said 20 percent of the airport's business comes from military aircraft.
"My fingers are crossed that our tower is kept open, but I cannot point fingers and say that another airport's tower should be closed instead," he said.
LaHood warned the closure of the towers would result in canceled and delayed flights across the country. There are also furloughs of FAA employees with one day every two weeks through the end of September expected.
The cuts are expected as part of the $85 billion in spending cuts scheduled to affect every federal agency March 1. The full effect of flight delays and cancellations from the tower closures would be felt by April 1.

STEWART- Year two of the Jeff McKibben era appears as though it could be a good one for the girls basketball team at Federal Hocking High School.
Now two years removed from a winless campaign, the Lancers managed to gain some ground last season in the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division. The Lancer girls went 4-12 in their division and even won a district playoff game before ending their campaign at 5-16.
"I'd like to double our win total. I think that's a reachable goal for these kids," said McKibben, who will be assisted by Theresa Fairbrother and Hannah McKibben.
Seven letter winners from last winter return for the Lancers and the good news is they are all still underclassmen. Guard Carley Tabler was the only Lancer to make all-TVC Hocking and did so as a freshman.
Junior pivot Cheyenne Singer, a double-double threat each time she takes the court, is joined by fellow lettermen Ashton Cale and Whitney Gillian, a pair of 11th-grade guards. Aside from Tabler, coach McKibben also returns three other letter winners in the sophomore class thanks to guard Claudia Barnhart along with forwards Megan Thompson and Taylor Carr.
"We've got 22 (regular season) games this year, but what's funny is we only have nine at home," added the coach, whose team is likely going to be without the services of Carr for the first couple games of the year due to injury.
"Our expectations are to win more basketball games. We've only got one senior, but I think we'll be OK."
The lone senior is Warren transfer guard/forward Ashley Roberts, who according to the coach "had to sit out last year" because of transfer rules.
Perhaps the biggest problem for the Lancers is that they are "just guard strong" said McKibben.
Also vying for playing time this winter is junior forward Laken Clark, 10th-grader forward Zoey Bennett Wolfe along with two freshmen in guards Chelsey Washburn and McKensie Steele.
While everyone is going to have to come together as a team if Federal Hocking is to attain its goals this season, coach McKibben knows he's got some solid talent.
"Cheyenne is an exceptional person," he said. "She's in the gym all the time. Cheyenne is a leader to the other kids."
And on his all-TVC Hocking guard Tabler he noted "we threw a lot on her shoulders (as a freshman) and you can see the growth. She has grown and her maturity level has increased."

Japan Cuts screens Life's tsunami film
August 14, 2013
August 14, 2013
Regge Life, Visual and Media Arts faculty member, appears at the Japan Cuts film festival in New York City last month for the screening of his documentary, Live Your Dream, which chronicles the life of a 24-year-old American woman killed in the 2011 Japan tsunami. (Courtesy photo)
Distinguished Director-in-Residence Theodore "Regge" Life's documentary about the first confirmed American fatality in the 2011 Japanese tsunami was featured last month at the Japan Cuts film festival, hosted by The Japan Society in New York.
The documentary, Live Your Dream, is about 24-year-old Taylor Anderson of Virginia, who worked as a teaching assistant in Japan and survived the initial earthquake, only to be killed by the tsunami as she rode her bicycle back to her apartment to call her parents in the United States.
Japan Cuts presents films that are "the roughest, sharpest, and smoothest of today's cutting-edge Japanese film scene," according to its website.
Life, of the Department of Visual and Media Arts, hosted a question-and-answer session at the July 12 screening of his 90-minute documentary, which had post-production help from Will Rogan, MFA '13, and Michelle Tsaitas '12.

PARKERSBURG - Law enforcement officials continue to grapple with a drug problem in the area, as a fifth person suffered a heroin overdose in less than two weeks.
According to Parkersburg Police Sgt. Greg Collins, officers found an unresponsive 30-year-old woman at a north end apartment complex Saturday evening.
The woman, whose name has not been released, is the fifth overdose in Parkersburg in less than two weeks.
"We are getting some indications it is a very strong batch of heroin from New York, rather than a contaminated batch," Collins said.
Officers arrived about 10 p.m. Saturday and found paramedics working on an unresponsive 30-year-old woman. While paramedics treated the woman, officers spoke with two other people at the apartment who said she went to the bathroom, returned a short time later and passed out on the floor, Collins said.
Collins said the woman was resuscitated and taken to Camden Clark Medical Center for treatment.
Suspected heroin paraphernalia was found in the bathroom, and the evidence is being tested. No charges have been filed.
"We get there on a medical call because it is listed as a possible drug overdose," Collins said. "When we get there any evidence is gone."
Collins said if evidence is present, offenders will be charged.
"Most of the time there is no evidence left and it's a straight medical call."
Collins said law enforcement officials saw this problem coming, alerted by officials from the narcotics taskforce.
"The number one and number two problems are meth and heroin," he said.
The most recent incident was the fifth heroin overdose in Parkersburg in less than two weeks, including one fatality.
On Jan. 12, a 27-year-old woman died of a suspected heroin overdose. Collins said officials have not gotten the lab results back on the cause of death. The woman's name has not been released.
A day earlier, Charles Andrew Wade, 29, of 36th Street, Parkersburg, was charged with possession of a controlled substance after he was found unconscious on the bathroom floor at 7-Eleven on Gihon Road.
Also last week, two people overdosed on heroin at a home where a 22-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man were found unresponsive, police said.
In the meantime, Collins said law enforcement officials are working to track down the dealers.
"We are trying to find out who the dealers are and where the stuff is coming from. That's all we can continue to do," he said.
"We want people to know what we are up against."

Will UPS's acquisition of TNT cause FedEx to under deliver in Europe?
UPS acquires TNT and the global big four logistics companies are down to the big three. A corporate strategy article by Thunderbird students Jeffrey Karlsson, Lauren Liberto, Gregory Pijal, Hugo Riquelme and Kenneth Wallace
The largest express-parcel company in the world, UPS, recently announced the intent to purchase Dutch company TNT Express on March 19, 2012 in order to expand its reach, resources, and customer base primarily in Europe where TNT already has a significant ground business. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2012.[i] TNT Express started in Australia in 1946 with meager beginnings having only one truck in its fleet[ii], however, since then the company has expanded worldwide. In 1996 Dutch company KPN acquired TNT, and in 2005 TNT became the official merged company name. Although TNT operates around the world, UPS's main focus in the merger was to boost its European presence. Today TNT Express UK & Ireland employs 11,000 workers, delivers 100 million items a year for its UK customers, operates in 70 hubs, and has a fleet of 3,500 delivery vehicles, which will aid UPS in gaining greater access to European businesses.[iii]

Sink Technologies and Benefits:
- The Vessel Advantage: Beyond uniqueness and their distinctive modern design, vessel sinks also present a couple of functional advantages. Because the sink is raised off the countertop, overall bathroom clutter presents less of an issue as items are merely level with or below the sink rim, not towering over it and in the way of your arms. Furthermore, bowl-shaped vessel sinks actually free up countertop space directly under the sink rim. Lastly, vessel sinks are much better at containing splashes, making face and hand washing less messy.
- Handcrafted Quality: Kraus vessel sinks are handcrafted in a very labor-intensive process. Starting with only the finest materials, artisans work each sink through its various production stages, with complete control over the entire process. By using hands to get the work done, each Kraus vessel sink is a functional work of art that has seen great care and thought put into its creation. The end result is a flawless sink that shows its attention to details.
Faucet Technologies and Benefits
- Precision Kerox Cartridges: The cartridge's job is to deliver smooth handle operation and water flow, throughout hundreds of thousands of uses, without ever leaking – all while under a punishing 60 pounds-per-square-inch of pressure. For these reasons, it is quite literally what "makes or breaks" the faucet. Kraus understands this, so they take no shortcuts here, importing their cartridges from the world's leading manufacturer of high-end precision ceramic disc cartridges, Kerox in Hungary.
- Swiss-Made NeoPerl Aerators: Aerators are possibly the most under-appreciated component within faucets. Not only do they soften the stream (preventing splashing), but they also control the straightness, diameter, overall delivery of water. Fortunately, like their cartridges, Kraus recognizes this and chooses to takes no gambles here – they import their aerators from NeoPerl in Switzerland, the world's leading manufacturer for high-end and specialty aerators.

St. Anthony Summit Medical Center's emergency nurses are ready for anything, and collectively, have more training on average than their peers.
Nationally, there are 180,000 emergency nurses, about 15 percent of which have gotten their Certified Emergency Nurse certification, a test available to registered nurses which indicates advanced knowledge and skills to care for patients in emergency situations. At St. Anthony Summit, 62 percent of the 21 registered nurses are certified.
"I think it shows our nurses' dedication," said Jill Boyle, director of emergency services at the hospital. "I personally am very proud to be working with such highly motivated and dedicated nurses."
Sunday marks the beginning of Emergency Nurses Week, and in Summit County, Boyle said her department will be celebrating with small gifts, free meals for those who are working on Wednesday - which marks Emergency Nurses Day - and a possible staff night out next week.
The week and special day is "a recognition of emergency nurses throughout the United States," Boyle said. "We're prepared to deal with anything that walks through the door ... anything from a finger laceration to a major trauma to an accident."
The nurses at St. Anthony are very dedicated to their community - three have more than 30 years experience with Centura Health (St. Anthony is a Centura Health facility), two have more than 20 years, and five have made it to the teens.
"(There are) lots of nurses that have been here awhile serving our community," Boyle said.
And patients seem to recognize that dedication. Over the last three years, the hospital has maintained a 98 percent ranking of overall patient satisfaction on the national Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers survey - "another reason to celebrate the dedicated staff," Boyle said.

- Boston Marathon explosion: Early photos from the scene
Speaking on the phone from the safety of his Boston hotel, Bob Anderson could still hear the sirens outside. Hours earlier, the Los Altos, Calif., resident and founder of Runner's World magazine had been among the terror-stricken competitors to hear bombs go off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
At the time, Anderson wasn't sure where his son Michael was — just that he'd be finishing right about the time of the explosion. When the two finally reunited in their hotel lobby, it was a teary scene.
"Oh, my gosh, the emotions just cried out,'' Anderson said. "It's just unbelievable because of the emotions — your entire body is on edge anyway because you just ran a marathon. Then for this to be unfolding was just unbelievable. It was a scary, scary moment.'
Bob Anderson, 65, and Michael Anderson, 37, were among the handful of Bay Area runners left shaken by the explosions that left two people dead and dozens of others injured at the venerable sporting event.
Summer Sanders, the Olympic swimmer and former Stanford star, wrote on Twitter: "Evacuated from hotel, made it 8 blocks to our car & to Logan. Flight still scheduled, really ready to be home & hold my babies'
Bob Anderson, who founded Runner's World in Kansas before moving the headquarters to the South Bay, ran 50 road races last year — mostly 10Ks and half-marathons.
He decided to run a marathon again for the first time in 30 years. This was his first-ever Boston Marathon and he said he loved the race itself, clocking an unofficial finishing time of 3 hours, 32 minutes while soaking in the sights and sounds of the boisterous 26.2-mile course. "It's such an exciting event. It's like the whole town is behind you,'' said Anderson, who sold his magazine in 1984.
But the excitement turned quickly to fear. Anderson was picking up his finishing medal when he heard the first blast. Then he saw the smoke rising above the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line.
Michael Anderson finished in 4:00.30. Reports have the first explosion detonating at 4:09.
"I saw the police running off in that direction,'' Anderson said, "and you think, ' Oh, my God.' ''
