Wilson: In a stunner, Raiders dominate Holy Cross
TORRINGTON -- If this one doesn't rock your world a bit, then call a coroner because your pulse has left the building. Torrington 65, Holy Cross 35.
I know, you just choked on your danish and dribbled coffee all over your finely pressed shirt or blouse and fine-looking Christmas tie. But there's no mistake here, no newsprint gone wrong. Hey, fans, you have your Naugatuck Valley League frontrunner. Of that, the Red Raiders left no doubt.
The Torrington win is not what grabs you. That would be insulting to the Raiders, who have been hounding and dogging the Crusader machine for years. Heck, it was just last March when the Raiders were within striking distance of the NVL title only to see the Crusaders rally in the final six minutes of the final to grab another championship.
But the margin and controlling manner by which Torrington obtained this win was more than somewhat stunning. Hey, this was Torrington and Holy Cross. They play down to the wire. And when was the last time the Crusaders were on the other end of the whip?
Even the participants were stunned.
"I can't believe it; there's no way to describe it," said Torrington senior Nicole Kozlak.
"I didn't think we would beat them by 30. It's kind of unbelievable," added Olivia Morrison, who tossed in a career-high 16 points to go with eight rebounds.
At different times during the game, Torrington coach Mike Fritch did a little two-step dance, gave out exclamations of 'Yes!' and turned to his bench to announce, "This is one for the ages." Even he was surprised, and Fritch doesn't surprise easily.
"It's a nice win. Go figure," he noted. "I thought it would be close. Overall, I'm pretty proud."
Both teams have significant losses from a year ago, but Torrington has more in the replacement tanks, as it showed. While Holy Cross offered up talented Kiera O'Donnell (20 points) and, well,
See RAIDERS, Page 5C
Kiera O'Donnell, and don't forget about Kiera O'Donnell, the Red Raiders answered with a dose of diversity.
Morrison was outstanding, but she wasn't alone. Paige Middleton tossed in 12 points and Kozlak added 11. Caroline Teti chipped in with nine. The Raiders got to the foul line for 22 shots, making 15, while pounding their way to the basket.
It was all too relentless for the youthful Crusaders.
"I just thought we played a nearly perfect game in execution," said Fritch. "We outrebounded them, which we don't usually do. We ran the floor well and we shared the ball well. And how about Morrison? We've been waiting for her to do that all year."
You wonder what would have happened if the Raiders hadn't turned the ball over 21 times.
Holy Cross hung around the first half, trailing 32-20. Only O'Donnell allowed the Crusaders to stay in the game. In an admirable effort, she scored 17 of the team's points, including a trio of 3-pointers. But more was needed.
Brianna Bradford wasn't in the house nor was Danielle Dorsett. Heady point guard Angelica Ariola was nowhere to be found to settle things down. They are all playing in college now, doing their thing at the next level.
Even Fritch admitted losses like that are hard to replace.
"I lost my players, but his 'big three,' they controlled every game," said Fritch, who also acknowledged the Crusaders are without point guard Chelsea Houlihan, who transferred from Wolcott and has to sit out 10 games.
Torrington put the game away with a quick seven-point run to start the third quarter. Megan Calabrese hit a pair of foul shots, Kozlak drained a 3-pointer and Teti converted a layup off a fast break as the lead hit 39-20.
Holy Cross managed just 15 second-half points and was unable to solve the Torrington zone defense. The Crusaders finished with 28 turnovers, severely limiting offensive opportunities throughout the game.
"In a game where you commit that many turnovers, you are not going to win," said Holy Cross coach Frank Lombardo. "They didn't press and didn't play man-to-man, and we still turned the ball over. We have a lot of young kids that need more practice working half-court against a zone.
The vaunted Holy Cross defense was also not there, and the turnovers and steals that usually create offense disappeared.
It's a long season. Santa hasn't even polished up the sleigh yet. How much can you make out of Game 3? Maybe not too much, but clearly the chase is on and Torrington is the target.
Yet even for Game 3, you can be taken back by this one. Nobody expected this, at least not the manner in which it was achieved.

COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. -- A fifth suspect has been charged in connection to a school prank at Greenbrier High School.
The 15-year-old male lives in Evans. Officials are not releasing his name because he's a minor and doesn't have a criminal history.
The students allegedly put glue in 43 exterior door locks, causing $5,130 in damage.
Elizabeth Metz, Dynisha Clemons, Kristin Tannehill and Brooklyn Bella are charged with second-degree criminal damage to property, which is a felony. Tannehill was not at the scene but is said to have been actively involved in the planning, including being there when the glue was purchased.
Superintendent Charles Nagle said the girls will forfeit all exam exemptions and will be forced to pay restitution before they can receive their diplomas. They also will not be participating in graduation ceremonies.
The Greenbrier principal says this was the most expensive prank the district has probably even seen.

Founded by the Sisters of Providence in 1840 as Saint Mary's Academy, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in west-central Indiana is the nation's oldest Catholic women's college. The College campus consists of six historic buildings dating from 1913 to 1969. The 67-acre campus is also home to the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Providence, whose buildings date from the 19th and 20th Centuries. Four generations of Bohlen and Son architectural firm of Indianapolis (D.A. Bohlen, Oscar Bohlen, August Bohlen, Robert Bohlen) completed more than sixty projects for the Sisters of Providence from 1858 - 1967, including all six of the historic College buildings. More than 20 Bohlen projects are listed by the National Register of Historic Places.
In designing the campus, the architects intentionally maintained a pastoral, bucolic setting. A French influence reminiscent of Georges-Eugene Haussmann is seen in the picturesque landscape with straight walkways and open views to points of interests. The buildings are representative of popular styles of architecture at the time they were built, yet are connected by a Classical inspiration that is evident even in the more modern styles. Interestingly, maintenance of the campus was supervised by three generations of the Joseph Bisch family from 1894 until the 1970s.

For Nextdoor Deal, Greylock's David Sze Goes Big By Going Small
When David Sze announced "the largest single investment in my career" this week, in neighborhood social network Nextdoor, the site's ability to create neighborly bonds was a prime reason.
An investor in both Facebook and LinkedIn, Sze, a partner at Greylock Partners, contributed about $18 million of the $21.6 million round. He said he sees similarities between LinkedIn and Nextdoor—both are spontaneous, largely self-policing communities in which people connect with other people they don't necessarily know, and they get something in return.
"In my neighborhood now, there's a history of sharing information about service providers—roofers and babysitters. People take the time to be thoughtful about their recommendations and write multiple paragraphs explaining why they're good. Before I knew only a handful of my neighbors," Sze said.
Nextdoor software launched in October 2011, and has since spread to more than 8,000 neighborhoods around the U.S. Users are required to sign up with their real names and addresses, and whatever they say is confined to their neighborhood because the content isn't indexed by search engines (although a new feature lets users share information with nearby neighborhoods if they choose).
Neighbors post information on lost pets, local events, items for sale, people who are hospitalized, crimes or suspicious characters and other neighborhood details. Discussions of politics and religion, both of which tend to upset people, are discouraged.
New uses for Nextdoor have emerged as the site has developed—for instance, it now has alliances with more than 90 local police and fire departments to encourage awareness of safety and crime in their communities.
Nextdoor communities develop predictably depending on how old they are, Sze said, regardless of their location or socioeconomic status. When he monitored networks in impoverished parts of Louisiana, he said, "those neighborhoods all have families who help each other survive in tough situations. It was inspiring at a whole other level."
One of Nextdoor's next challenges is to decide how to make money, although Sze said Facebook and LinkedIn didn't hurry and Nextdoor shouldn't either. He said the success of the site will depend on not violating the trust that its users have developed.
"If we do it right, it will be incredible magic…There's a massive opportunity to put neighborhoods together again," he said.

Tom Torres founded "Forward Operating Base Colorado," a non-profit, to take wounded and active duty military personnel on therapeutic outdoor adventures.
Recently though, friends at Ft. Carson asked if he could get his hands on pillows. Torres was able to find 675 pillows; the problem was the pillows were in Yellowstone National Park that has been shutdown all month.
"Sure enough, the gates were locked and two guards, armed guards were standing out front and I understand they were doing their job but nothing was going to stop me," Torres said.
He says stubbornness combined with guilt eventually convinced the guards to turn the other way and let Torres drive into the park to pick up the pillows.
"It was just me and the buffaloes," Torres said.
The pillows were donated by a contractor that manages the lodges inside the park. Torres says each pillow is worth around $4-6 dollars and he was able to fill up a 12x8x8 trailer.
"I know soldiers coming back from war over the next 2-3 weeks are going to be sleeping comfortable because of this," Torres said.
The pillows will be given to troops returning home to the mountain post.

Leonsis, a major investor in Chicago-based Groupon, joins another investor, Executive Chairman Eric Lefkofsky, as co-chief executive, replacing the company's controversial founder, Andrew Mason.
Mason, 32, issued a non-traditional letter after the action, in which he at first said he was leaving to spend more time with his family.
"Just kidding -- I was fired today," he said in his missive to the staff. "If you're wondering why. . . you haven't been paying attention."
Groupon announced the change, including a search for a new chief executive, on Thursday after the stock market had closed.
Leonsis did not respond to e-mails and phone messages, but he said in a statement released by the company: "Groupon will continue to invest in growth, and we are confident that with our deep management team and market-leading position, the company is well positioned for the future."
Groupon's stock price was decimated after the company announced late Wednesday that its fourth-quarter loss had widened to $81.1 million from a $65 million loss the previous year.
Groupon shares dropped 20 percent Thursday, closing at $4.53. That price is down from $20 per share a year ago.
The shake-up caps more than a year of upheaval for Groupon and the daily-deals industry, which less than two years ago was considered as transformative to local commerce and entertainment as Amazon.com was to retail.
The daily-deals business got off to a fast start around 2010 as companies such as LivingSocial and Groupon started peddling steep discounts to spas, restaurants and shops in subscribers' neighborhoods.
But by 2012, that growth began to slow, in part because customers felt bombarded by e-mails from both the big sites as well as scores of copycats. Groupon and LivingSocial began searching for other revenue streams.
"Deals are a piece of the online promotions puzzle, but they sit alongside traditional things," said Peter Krasilovsky, a daily-deals analyst with BIA/Kelsey in Chantilly, Va. "They are not really a stand-alone entity as we thought. It's not a new paradigm for advertising."
Groupon's fortunes are expected to have a significant effect on Washington-based LivingSocial, the No. 2 daily-deals company and Groupon's chief rival. Privately held LivingSocial has closely watched Groupon's progress.
A spokesman for LivingSocial declined to comment.
The two companies have much in common. Leonsis is one of the chief investors in Groupon, and his close friend and business partner, fellow Washingtonian Steve Case, was one of the early investors in LivingSocial.
Both continue to have significant stakes in the companies and are also partners in other investments through a local venture-capital fund called Revolution Ventures. Leonsis, 56, also sits on the board of directors of American Express and is the majority owner and chairman of Monumental Sports & Entertainment, the holding company that owns the Washington Wizards basketball team, Washington Capitals hockey team and the sports franchises' home arena, Verizon Center.
LivingSocial's chief executive, Tim O'Shaughnessy, is the son-in-law of Washington Post Co. Chairman Donald Graham.
Groupon was once named the fastest-growing company in history by Forbes magazine. But several high-profile missteps, including a lengthy and contentious initial public offering, restatements of earnings and high-level staff defections, damaged the company's image.
Mason took responsibility for some those missteps Thursday.
"The events of the last year and a half speak for themselves," he said in the letter. "As CEO, I am accountable."
Mason, who had been seen as the creative force behind the company and still controls nearly 20 percent of Groupon's voting stock, had drawn attention for his nontraditional approach to running a public company. He posted online videos of himself doing yoga in his underwear and posed for photos with cats on his head.
"Mason added very little value to a company which essentially became an online department store," Krasilovsky said. "He was a lifestyle champion, and he started Groupon as something to help people figure out what they wanted to do on the weekends."
Mason's control of the company stemmed from his 20 percent share of the voting stock, which in addition to Lefkofsky's shares and voting shares held by another key investor, Brad Keywell, amounted to a block 57 percent control. Lefkosky's voting shares may have been instrumental in the executive leadership.
Mason acknowledged in his departing letter to employees that the company needed some change.
"You are doing amazing things at Groupon, and you deserve the outside world to give you a second chance. I'm getting in the way of that. A fresh CEO earns you that chance," he wrote. "I'll now take some time to decompress (FYI I'm looking for a good fat camp to lose my Groupon 40, if anyone has a suggestion), and then maybe I'll figure out how to channel this experience into something productive."

Women have history of making history in Colorado politics.
Colorado was the first state to grant women the right to vote, the first to elect them to the state Legislature and the first to have a female Speaker of the House and Senate president.
This year, Colorado is poised to hit another milestone: Women could win a majority of the seats in the state Senate in the November election.
"Colorado is a progressive place," incumbent candidate for county commissioner Karn Stiegelmeier said. "We don't think of people having limits, whether it's gender, or race or background."
Keeping pace with the state, women have tossed their names in the hat for three of the five offices representing Summit County that are up for grabs this year.
Breckenridge Democrat Emily Tracy is challenging Republican Randy Baumgardner for Summit's state Senate District 8. Steigelmeier, a Democrat, is defending her seat on the Board of County Commissioners against GOPer Kevin Mastin and women dominate the race for House District 61, with ladies' names on the Republican (Debra Irvine), Democrat (Millie Hamner), Libertarian (Ellen Temby) and Independent (Kathleen Curry) tickets.
But local women say their views, not their gender, are what matter to voters.
"All these other women, all these years before us, have given us these opportunities and given us the ability to not worry about it," Independent HD 61 hopeful Kathleen Curry said. "Which is a pretty amazing thing, that we can just do our work and not focus on any of that. That's a gift."
Not to say women don't have special skill sets to bring to the table as leaders, local candidates said. They agree that in politics, women tend to be good listeners, willing to collaborate and driven to find solutions.
"The traits that are typically associated with women are those traits that make people good legislators," Hamner said.
Hamner, who was a member of the Colorado Women's Caucus, partnered with Republican Sens. Jean White and Nancy Spence on education laws during her first term in the House.
"I think women have a lot to offer," Tracy said. "They're connectors and communicators. They have a lot of skills in conflict resolution, bringing people together and being problem solvers."
Tracy said she's seen a surge in female candidates across western Colorado, and attributes the uptick to the issues specific to this part of the state - including the economy and the quality of public education in rural schools - resounding with women.
"I do think there are more and more women stepping forward and deciding that they need to take on leadership roles to make sure these issues get addressed," she said.
Across the state, there are dozens of women stepping forward for roles in government.
In 2012, Colorado had more female lawmakers than any other state in the country, with 40 percent of the 100-member Legislature made up of women.
This year, there are ladies running in 11 of 19 state Senate district races. If most of them win, they could potentially put women in the majority in the Senate in 2013.
Women are after 39 of the 65 seats in the state House of Representatives, and many of the contenders are Republicans, a shift from the past.
Only nine female lawmakers serving in the House in 2012 were Republicans, compared to 14 Democrats. But in the upcoming election, GOP women are stepping up in 18 House district races across the state.
"The GOP women are finding their voice," said Gala Eppstein, a local voter and member of Women for Romney. "They've always felt that they had a voice, but especially this year, we're being maligned. There's a war against Romney claiming that there's a war against women. But we don't see it at all. I don't think that exists."

Looks can be deceiving.
In spite of April's powder skiing and snow shoveling, Summit County and the rest of Western Colorado remain in the grip of a drought, water officials say.
"One good month - which is what April has been - doesn't a winter make," said Jim Pokrandt of the Colorado River District.
"Every little bit helps but there are still huge holes in the reservoir, and the basin, to fill," he said.
Summit County's snow level has soared recently to more than 90 percent of average for 2013, but Mother Nature is still trying to overcome the extraordinary dry year of 2012 - when a feeble accumulation stood at 33 percent and the runoff was already under way.
"This winter fell on the heels of one of the worst winters in record," Pokrandt said. "We live in a parched area."
A public meeting is being held Tuesday, May 7, that will give locals a comprehensive perspective on the state of the rivers. Those who attend the meeting can learn more about the long-term drought, snowpack and critical reservoir operations.
"We are very water dependent in Colorado, and we can take water for granted," Pokrandt said.
State Climatologist Nolan Doesken will give an overview of the status of the drought, its causes and the outlook at the State of the Rivers meeting.
Eric Kuhn, general manager of the Colorado River District, will discuss the Western Colorado perspective, outlining the findings from a new Colorado River Basin Water Supply and Demand Study that predicts water shortages in the millions of acre-feet in the coming decades.
Summit County water commissioner Troy Wineland will detail local water rights administration. Bob Steger of Denver Water and Ron Thomasson of the Bureau of Reclamation will discuss the operations of Lake Dillon and Green Mountain reservoirs. Summit County officials will give an update on the status of the enlarged Old Dillon Reservoir, and the Blue River Watershed Group will address its ambitious watershed work at the old Pennsylvania Mine on Peru Creek, the Swan River and Ten Mile Creek.
Coloradans live in an arid climate, and depend on snowfall in the winter months to sustain us throughout the year, Pokrandt said.
"Over the decades we've learned how to capture and store water and it's only by that means we are able to live here," he said.
A population spike in Colorado has affected the supply and demand of our systems, he said.
"The amount of water in the river didn't matter as much in recent decades until we really started to grow," Pokrandt said. "There's some fears that population alone will put stress on the current system. If you compound that with climate change, which could change the amount of precipitation coming into the system, then we will need to start planning for a different kind of future."

From a marketplace in Tokyo to strife-ridden Syria to the sidewalk in front of Steve Jobs' house in Palo Alto, spontaneous memorials -- the likes of which haven't been seen since the deaths of John Lennon and Princess Diana -- swept around the globe Thursday as the reality of the tech titan's death seeped deeply into mourners' souls.
Along with leaving piles of flowers and notes that spilled into the streets, many Apple (AAPL) fans around the world paid special tribute in a way that perhaps no one would have appreciated more than Jobs himself: holding their iPhones and iPads high over their heads, many displaying glowing images, in crystal-clear high definition, of flickering candles.
Outside Apple headquarters in Cupertino on Thursday, bagpipes played "Amazing Grace." Along Highway 101 in Santa Clara, an illuminated road sign flashed, "Thanks Steve."
In front of Jobs' house, hundreds came and left throughout the day, with many more crowding the street corner as the evening wore on. A man held his hat to his chest, a woman drew a green apple on the sidewalk in pastel crayons, an old white iPod lay out in the rain. On fence posts and on the sidewalk -- just as they cropped up around the globe since Jobs' death Wednesday -- were green apples. Like the company logo, each had a giant bite taken out of it.
"I do feel it personally and I'm not sure why," said Jill Patterson, 40, of San Jose, tears rolling down her cheeks outside Jobs' home. "I was in line Day One for the first iPhone and both the iPads."
Jobs' college-age son, Reed, lingered at the memorial Wednesday evening, and on Thursday morning, a teenage girl came out of the house, picked up the handwritten messages that were smearing in the rain, and took them inside.
Around the world, people celebrated the genius that transformed technology into an elegant and indispensable art form and mourned the loss of what might have been had Jobs lived past 56. To his fans, he was Einstein and Edison, Mozart and Picasso.
At an Apple store in Hong Kong, old and new means of grief came together: People scribbled "RIP" and "We miss Steve" and longer notes of condolence on sticky notes, and attached them to an iPad display.
At the 24-hour Apple store in midtown Manhattan, passers-by left flowers and candles -- actual ones. Even there, people snapped photos of the memorial with their iPhones.
"For me it was like Michael Jackson or Princess Diana -- that magnitude," Stephen Jarjoura said at the Apple store in Sydney.
Even in Syria, seven months into an uprising, people paused to take pride in Jobs, who was born to a Syrian father raised in Homs, the nation's third-largest city.
"This shows that this country can produce geniuses, if only we had freedoms instead of a suffocating dictatorship," said Sara, a 23-year-old Syrian student who refused to give her full name for fear of Syrian government reprisal.
On University Avenue in Palo Alto, flowers piled up outside the Apple store. But many chose to visit the sidewalk in front of Jobs' home instead, less than a mile away. (Many found his address by Googling it on their iPhones.)
For a notoriously private man known for his sleek, minimalist designs, the home where Jobs raised his children looks plucked out of a Medieval village -- an English Tudor cottage with a slate roof and crankcase windows that open just a few steps from the street.
It was the perfect setting for the "haunted garden" the Jobs family would set up every year on Halloween for the neighborhood children. Jobs would dress up like Frankenstein.
"Even though he was such a big, important person, he was always someone who wanted to live simply," said Noel Samra, 48, who would see Jobs at back-to-school nights. "Look at his house. It's a nice house, but for a person like him, you would think he had a mansion."
Neighbors walking their dogs at night would often catch a glimpse of him in the front window, where he would sit in his study, his computer screen glowing. Though family friends came and went from the home Thursday, and security guards kept an eye on the mourners and media members, shades on that room were drawn Thursday.
"It has more of Steve in it than 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino," said Sheldon Breiner, referring to Apple's headquarters. Breiner, 74, is a neighbor and serial entrepreneur himself who stood on the sidewalk of Waverly Street on Thursday.
"We love this guy so much, just love him," said Christine Geng, of Cupertino, who moved from China in 2007 when her husband got a job with Apple.
And even though she felt like a single mother at times when her husband worked such long hours, "there's so much happiness. They're creating something that's never been there before."
Karen Morrison, 67, said she has none of Jobs' products but feels the depth of the tragedy just the same.
"Death is so horrible when it comes early," she said. "It's not how great he was, it's the loss of someone so special."
In the front yard, instead of a lawn, Jobs had planted a small apple orchard. The fruit was so heavy Thursday, it bent the branches.

WASHINGTON (January 18, 2013)--The GOP-controlled House will vote next week to permit the government to borrow more money to meets its obligations, a Republican official said Friday.
Full details aren't settled yet, but the move is aimed at giving the government about three more months of borrowing authority beyond a deadline expected to hit as early as mid-February.
The House is hoping to force the Senate to approve a budget resolution by making pay for members of Congress conditional on passage of a budget.

We're glad you opted to be part of our growing Journalism program at Lindenwood University. We hope this page provides you with information about how to make the most of your time here. Below, are some frequently asked questions current students have about navigating the academic landscape.
In regards to university official policies and procedures, the below question and answer section offers a brief overview. Students should reference the course catalog for official university policies and procedures.
How do I know what courses I'm supposed to take to complete my degree?
As you make your way through our School of Communications programs, you should always reference the course catalog. In addition, we've created program planning guide sheets that corresponds with the catalog year you enrolled at Lindenwood University. You'll frequently hear communications faculty refer to these guides as "bingo sheets." You can find these here, or on the shared PC Common drive. Look for the folder called, "Program Planning Guides." As a general rule, students will meet with their advisors twice a year to select courses for the upcoming semester. You will not be able to register for courses online without first meeting with your academic advisor. Your advisor must "unlock your student portal," as the terminology goes.
How to I know who my academic advisor is?
Your academic advisor should be listed in your student portal. Most likely, your advisor is a fulltime faculty person who teaches in your major. Academic Services can help you track down this information. See our list of School of Communications faculty for additional questions.
How can I change advisors and officially declare a new major or minor?
If you wish to change advisors to someone in our journalism program, contact Program Chair Jill Falk. You'll need to pick up a "Change of Advisor" form from the Academic Services department, located in the basement of Roemer Hall. Visit your new advisor for his or her signature.
Should I add a minor?
Technically, you aren't required to have a minor to complete your degree. But should you? We think so. You may not enjoy math, but hear us out on this part. You need 128 hours to complete your Bachelor of Arts degree. Of the 128 required credit hours, 49 are general education requirements. The journalism major requires either 54 or 57 credit hours—depending on which emphasis you choose—print or broadcast. If you subtract 49 general education hours and 54 or 57 major hours from 128, you're left with 25 or 22 credit hours you still need to graduate. Sure, you can take electives, but most minors can range from 18-30 credit hours. We believe it's important for journalism majors to have knowledge in other subject areas. For a list of available minors, check out the course catalog.
When do I register for classes?
Great question, we're glad you're thinking ahead! Students register for the upcoming semester's classes according to predetermined dates noted in the academic calendar. Your registration date depends on how many credit hours you've earned at the end of your last *completed* semester. Here are the class designations: freshmen = 0-23 credit hours, sophomores = 24-53 credit hours, juniors = 54-83 credit hours, seniors = 84 credit hours and above.
How can I add or drop a class?
Scheduling classes can be the most stressful task students worry about besides taking exams. Your first step should be checking the academic calendar for important add/drop deadlines. Then, consult with your academic advisor and make sure you're on the right track with course planning. The ability to add or drop a course online via your portal isn't always an option. If the online schedule change window has closed, then you'll need an Add/Drop form signed by your advisor. You can find those forms in Academic Services, located in the basement of Roemer Hall. Depending on when you're dropping the course, you may need the signature of the course's instructor. See the academic calendar. You will always need your advisor's signature on the Add/Drop form.
I'd like to get involved in campus media, who do I contact?
Now, you're talking. Getting involved with our campus media is the quickest way to gain a competitive edge in the media world. We welcome your involvement at any grade level. Any of our fulltime journalism faculty can point you in the right direction, but here is some general contact information to get you started:
- The Legacy Newspaper: contact Advisor Tom Pettit
- LUTV News: contact News Director Jill Falk
- Lindenlink.com: contact Advisor Neil Ralston
- KCLC-FM: contact Dean Mike Wall
How can I locate internship opportunities and earn college credit?
Speaking of a competitive edge, we encourage our students to pursue internships. In fact, each of our School of Communications programs offers internship credit as part of their major requirements. You can usually find information about available opportunities by visiting the company's website. In addition, we have compiled an internship page. But, keep in mind we have some rules about who represents our program in the community. In order to earn credit for an internship, our course catalog, states you must be a least a junior and have a 3.0 GPA in order to officially register for internship credit. With those two requirements in mind, your next step is to contact School of Communications Dean, Mike Wall, for your information packet. He can also answer any more specific questions you may have about internships.

If you've never a bad hair day, consider yourself lucky. The best outfit with the brightest smile could all be forgotten if one's hair isn't just so. Some of us loathe our locks, wishing we could wake up one morning and find it curlier, straighter, bouncier, or at least not looking like a rat's nest. But that's why they invented hairstylists, to help us tame our tresses and get us looking like we've just stepped out of a photo shoot for the cover of a glossy fashion magazine. Hairstylists know that hair is not just a bunch of dead follicles that sprout from the head. Hair can be an art form, a way to express one's individuality, or the key ingredient to a great first impression. Let's not forget that doing one's hair can also be a lot of fun. After all the colorful leaves fall, spending October in the mountains can be, and feel, a bit dull. To counteract this, why not try brightening your hair with a new color or style? We asked local hairstylists to give us their suggestions on how to add some flair to your hair this season.
Highlights without the high prices
Ever wondered why one hairstyle becomes more popular than others? Jill Suarez, owner of About Hair and hairstylist at Fusion Hair Studio in Eagle, said most hairstyle trends begin with teenagers in big cities and then spread from there.
"It usually starts from some extreme fashion statement and then becomes trendy," Suarez said. "When people get tired of seeing the same thing, especially kids, they take their hair and do the opposite to it. Then six months later everyone in Hollywood is doing it, only more polished and more grown up."
One of the most popular color trends right now is ombre, a technique that involves dying the tips or ends of one's hair a lighter color than your roots. Suarez said the trend started with teens who would bleach or dye their hair and then couldn't afford to re-dye it once their roots grew out. Salons have perfected the ombre technique so that the lighter color at the ends blends in gradually with the darker color near the roots.
"You can go with the fully dipped look or with the highlighted look on the bottom, that way the two colors just melt into each other," Suarez said.
The ombre effect can be a new twist on regular old highlights and is easier to maintain.
"We've always highlighted the roots," Suarez said. "But I feel like (because of) the economy, not everyone can afford to keep up with a highlight every four to six weeks. Having the roots get dark on the ends is much more affordable for clients who want to look fashionable but don't have the funds to afford the upkeep."
Adding texture to your tresses
As a kid, braids were a way to keep one's hair from getting too unruly and minimizing the pain of brushing out knots and snarls before bedtime. Braids are back in a big way and a few trailblazers, or braiders, have created numerous ways to rock a braid without looking childish. Braids are great way to change your hairstyle for a day without having to take a trip to the salon.
"The way (braids) are being done now is a lot more edgy," Suarez said. "It adds texture to the hair without having to change the hair permanently."
If one's hair is layered, a simple technique to do is called a "trick bob", where you take the bottom of your hair, braid it and wrap it, then fluff up the top layers so it makes it look as though your hair is in a bob. If your hair is medium length or longer, Suarez suggests trying what she refers to as a "braid across the front."
"Starting with a really deep side part, incorporate the hair from the crown and work a braid from one side to the other," Suarez said. "For someone who doesn't have bangs, this (braid) can create some kind of a bang."
Creating braids with short hair can be tricky, so Suarez advises playing with the texture by using a sea-salt texturing spray.
"Hair that works for you"
The best way to mess with your mane with minimal effort is to add a fresh accessory. Noni Taylor, owner of Noni's Hair Bar in Edwards, said the new colorful bow-like Emi-Jay hair tie has replaced the standard ponytail holder.
"They're hair ties that don't leave a bump in your hair," Taylor said. "We sell them here and they fly off the shelf. You can also wear them around your wrist."
Taylor also said due to Princess Kate Middleton, headbands or small hats adorned with feathers or flowers known as "fascinators" are also all the rage. Rather than hiding one's hair under a big floppy hat, fascinators can top off an outfit, making one look stylish from head to toe.
Both Suarez and Taylor said the popular lifestyle website Pinterest is becoming the main source for those looking for hairstyle tips and tricks.
"I think Pinterest is a phenomenal thing for anybody to follow," Suarez said. "(It's) drawing in a whole different culture of people and is a great tool to find what you want to find."
Perhaps the key to making every day a good hair day is to learn to love your locks and work with what you've got.
"I like to do hair that works for you, not hair that you have to work for," Suarez said.
No one wants to get a haircut and not have anyone notice. If this has happened to you, it might be time to try a new color, style, or accessory with your hair that will not only turn heads, but leaving you feeling like you're the star in the movie of your own life, rather than the sloppy sidekick.

PALO ALTO -- Her growing frustration over the failure of Congress to help immigrant children remain in the U.S. is what drove Silicon Valley icon Laurene Powell Jobs to mobilize a social media campaign pushing for immigration reform.
That's what the business executive, education advocate and widow of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs told an enthusiastic gathering of Stanford University students Tuesday night in a rare public appearance. Powell Jobs joined immigrant rights activists and an Oscar-winning filmmaker to explain how they swiftly launched a national campaign targeting lawmakers and American public opinion to support an immigration renaissance.
"There's a strong chance this does not work, this does not pass," Powell Jobs said of the comprehensive immigration reform bill now being hotly debated in the U.S. Senate. "We can't just sit by and not let people represent us properly."
The campaign encourages promising young students to reveal their immigration status and stories in video interviews like the ones shown to the crowd of more than 200. The interviews were so moving they caused many audience members to shed tears.
Lawmakers have told Powell Jobs they "look at the number of likes on Facebook. They look at social media" and that "people pay attention" to mass online movements.
Figure it out
The campus event included a screening of "The Dream is Now," a 30-minute film by Davis Guggenheim, who also directed "An Inconvenient Truth" and "Waiting for Superman." During the film, the crowd hissed and booed when conservatives against the Dream Act appeared. Powell Jobs spent lots of time roaming the crowd, introducing herself to students and talking to them about the issue she deems so important.
Jobs' widow said she learned in 2001, while working with high school students in East Palo Alto in a program called College Track, of the "extraordinary flaw in the immigration system" that left many of them at risk of deportation and unable to get work or financial aid because their families brought them to the country illegally when they were children.
She became an advocate for the Dream Act, a federal bill to grant those young people a path to citizenship but was disappointed by its defeat in 2006, 2007 and again in 2010, a casualty of what she described as a "political game." And then she noted, "We got really frustrated."
She and Guggenheim decided to form the campaign, and they launched it earlier this year as Congress began seriously considering an immigration overhaul.
"This is a moment where we have to figure this out," said Guggenhein, "or we won't figure it out."
Be a 'Dreamer'
Inspired by the campaign was Irving Rodriguez, a 19-year-old Stanford freshman from the greater Chicago suburbs.
Not until this week did he reveal his immigration status beyond his circle of friends.
Rodriguez is one of only a handful of students at Stanford, most of them undergraduates, who are in the country illegally, according to university spokeswoman Lisa Lapin.
Unlike at UC Berkeley, which counts nearly 200, and the area's state and community colleges, no organizations exist at Stanford for students like Rodriguez.
He came to the country by bus when he was 8 years old to live with his aunt and uncle. He overstayed his short-term visa and grew up excelling academically in middle and high school. He plans to major in physics and economics.
Rodriguez said the campaign helped him realize it "really wasn't a bad thing to be a Dreamer.

I am new to QCad, but have quickly fallen in love with it. I began trying it out a week ago. I am using it to design cabinetry and millwork. I seem to have a bit of a problem getting dotted and dashed lines to print properly. On screen they appear fine, but when printing they appear solid or as near solid as to be indistinguishable from solid.
I am running QCad on Ubuntu Gutsy and printing out to both a B&W laser (HP LJ1020) and a colour InkJet (HP T65) in both cases on Letter paper.
Any help you can offer would be most appreciated.
Many thanks.

If playing basketball is a job, Josh Ritchey gets a lot of overtime.
"I put in a lot work," said the Marietta Youth League standout. "I shoot a lot in my driveway."
"We put lights up for him," said Josh's father and assistant coach Daniel Ritchey. "Sometimes he'll shoot 'till 11 or 12 at night."

Josh Ritchey is a sixth grade scoring machine for the Reno Warrios.
That hard work has paid off so far, as the sixth-grader enjoyed a record-breaking year. Josh scored 253 points in 12 games this season and led his team, the Reno Warriors, to a league championship.
"He works so hard," Daniel said.
"He's got a lot to be proud of."
In addition to averaging 21 points per game, Josh also connected on 20 3-pointers this season. At 5-foot-6, he can also post up down low.
Josh had always had success at the youth and AAU level, but prior to this season was presented with a challenge.
"His coach (Myron Schwaben) challenged him to get 200 points," said Josh's mother Peggy.
Josh met the challenge and then some.
At one point this season Josh scored a career-high 35 points, in a game where his team scored 49.
But scoring isn't the only facet of Josh's game. Asked what will be the key for success at the junior high level next year, he said "I'll keep playing defense, creating turnovers and working hard."
Josh picked up basketball at a young age.
"I just started playing," he said. "I liked it and I never stopped."
His goal is to one day play for the Ohio University Bobcats.
"He goes to most of (Ohio's) games," Daniel explained.
"He helps mop the floor underneath the basket and helps out on the football field."
Donald, surprisingly, has never been a hoops player.
"I've never played a minute of basketball," he laughed.
Still, he has been able to help his son from the bench.
"It's tough sometimes," said Josh of having his father as a coach. "But it's fun a lot of the time."
As young Josh moves forward in his playing career, he will likely leave a lasting impression at every level he competes in.
But regardless of what happens in the future, he and his parents will always remember his record-breaking sixth grade season.
"We're just so proud of him," Daniel said.

Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli doesn't like Roger Waters.
Yeah, she always seemed to be more of a David Gilmour kind of girl.
According to TMZ, Refaeli wants Waters to remove her image from his concerts after he called for a boycott against her home country.
Waters supports a campaign called Boycott Divestment and Sanctions against Israel (BDS) and his famous floating pig has been sporting a Star of David on its side.
Refaeli's image is featured in background video. Apparently, either Waters doesn't know where she's from, or he doesn't care. Either way, that's not OK with her.
Refaeli tweeted on Wednesday, in Hebrew, "Roger Waters, you should remove my picture from videos at your concerts. If you're going to boycott, then go all the way."

PARKERSBURG - Taking advantage of the nice weather, hundreds milled around City Park, hundreds more lined the sidewalks of Washington Avenue during Monday's Veterans Day parade.
About 1,000 people gathered at City Park Monday morning for the annual Veterans Day ceremonies.
David Huffman, a local attorney and Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War, was the featured speaker. Dressed in a suit, Huffman said he didn't feel much like a veteran.

"I look too much like an attorney," he joked.
Huffman spoke of the political discourse in the country that has divided Americans.
"No matter our differences, we all love America," he said.
Veterans groups from around the county participated in the parade, along with the bands from Parkersburg, Parkersburg South and Williamstown high schools.
Mayors Bob Newell and David Nohe of Parkersburg and Vienna, respectively, read a joint proclamation for the day. Newell said the turnout was one of the largest he'd ever seen.
The event was emceed by WTAP General Manager Roger Sheppard.
Clem Dowler, a World War II veteran, served as parade marshal and also spoke. Dowler told the audience about attending night school to qualify for duty on a B-17 bomber, instead of becoming a cook or a baker.
A month later, Dowler's plane was shot down in Nazi-occupied France. Dowler, who suffered a broken foot parachuting from his downed plane, recalled hiding in the woods in France, lying in wet leaves, thinking how dumb he had been.
"I could of been a cook or a baker," he said.
Sheppard asked Dowler if he was a good cook.
"No," Dowler said.

Eight years for nothing
17.10.2012 - The dreams of Wilex CEO Olaf Wilhelm to bring a drug to the market are destroyed. The company's most advanced compound has failed in Phase III.
On Tuesday evening, the Munich-based antibody developer reported results of a comprehensive Phase III study testing an anti-CA-IX antibody in the adjuvant treatment of renal cancer after surgery. The analysis showed no improvement in median disease free survival (approximately 72 months) following treatment with Rencarex compared with placebo. The Independent Data Monitoring Committee has recommended to terminate the Phase III ARISER trial which was started as long ago as in June 2004.
Originally, the company planned to announce the results in 2008. However, the number of adverse events did not come in as planned. Professor Seppo Pyrhoenen, Chairman of the ARISER IDMC, said: "I have over 30 years experience in treating patients with kidney cancer and applaud this study for being well balanced, controlled and very well conducted. This is probably the most comprehensive study in the adjuvant setting conducted in the past 20 years."
Wilex is also conducting Phase II trials with Mesupron in pancreatic and breast cancer and developing a diagnostic based on a radioactively labelled version of Rencarex in Phase III. At the Frankfurt stock exchange, Wilex shares fell more than 60%. The biggest shareholder is SAP founder Dietmar Hopp.

I've been offered an eight month old black lab and I'm in desperate need of a good bird dog. Is she to old to star training to hunt, or will this work out ok?

Desperate is never a good frame of mind to be in when you want something. 8 months is still very young and could certainly be trained. But don't expect to have a working retriever this season. Good luck and slow down. :)

I got her and she's a good dog the people I got from kept her in a kennel all the time so she's not leash trained or anything..... I definitely have my work cut out for me though... Is there a book I could reference that will be helpful in this adventure you could suggest ? I imagine she has at least two years before she's ready to go out..

Id say Water dog by Richard wolters is a good read but I think a better bet is a complete program like Evan Graham's smart work or something along those lines check out retriever training forums if you got a minute and see what those guys are recommending.

Glad you have the pup. there are so many books out there. Google dog training and read some of the techniques used. Find one that you think best fits YOUR patience and personality. You, as the trainer, have as much to learn as the pup. together, you both can learn and become great hunting partners. AND, no reason why she can't be a fun and capable retriever for you next year.
Good Luck and have fun!

I am fairly new here on DU as well and can say the Wolters book is a definite book to get but I also used google and youtube. I am in the same boat I wanted to train my own dog. I have zero experience in training dogs but have taken wolters and several other trainers training techniques and ideas. Just don't rush its a easy way to create bad habits

W.F. Rau, the new head of the Diamond Hotel in this city, emphatically denies the story published in the Medford Mail Tribune that told that paper by creditors of the defunct Rogue River Commission Company that he is implicated in fraudulent transactions concerning the company. Rau and Charles H. Schneckloth are accused of fraud and conspiracy to defraud, and the Mail Tribune published a lengthy story telling what the creditors of the concern said.
Rau recently arrived in Chico from Medford, and at first he told the Enterprise that he acquired control of the Diamon Hotel, having organized a stock company for the conduct of the hotel. When interviewed by an Enterprise reporter today regarding the Medford story, Rau said: "The story is false. I shall sue the Medford Mail Tribune for libel. An attempt is being made to blackmail me. It is all spite work. I was idle in Medford and worked for that company and was to have received a weekly wage. This has not been paid. I will go to the courts for relief and vindication."
Attorney Richard White of this city this afternoon showed the Enterprise a number of telegrams from prominent business men and officers in Medford recommending Rau in the highest terms and declaring him to be straightforward and honest in all of his dealings. These telegrams were from Sheriff August D. Singler, District Attorney E.E. Kelly, Chief of Police S.F. Hittson, James S. Campbell, real estate delaer; H.A. Hussey, merchant, M.G. Mordorf, formerly of Chico, merchant.
Rau clarifies that a business fiend is behind this whole matter, arising from the transaction wherein he disposed of the Hotel Moore. He declares it is a cold-blooded conspiracy to blacken him and to damage his credit and ruin him.
He states that he worked for a salary for the commission company in which Charles Schneckloth is president and during the few weeks he was employed he received no pay. He says if there were any fraudulent transactions they were transacted after he left the company and that he left the company when he knew is was about to become insolvent.

Road Map
Forge links between farmers, marketplace
February 14, 2013
Growing buzz surrounding "local food" movements in other parts of the country may garner nothing but a few eye rolls in a state like West Virginia....
Agree w/ mythravere AND w/ the editorial.
Nothing like raising your own food. Picking at the optimum time makes a difference you wouldn't believe for some foods; you'll never get that in a supermarket & you're fortunate if you can get it in a farmers' market. (Still, you have to be realistic about the time & money you put into it -- may save you money compared to supermarket, may not.)
Raising food to sell requires even more study, but we need a lot more of it around here.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
What we need to do is get everyone to think like a farmer. Or at least know the basics of planting a garden.
Too much practical knowledge is being lost by the average person.
While not so much an issue around here other places if they lost the supermarket people wouldn't know what to do.

Hartford Spoils Another Gem by Bobcats' Conners
from press release
HAMDEN, Conn. – Junior goalie Gill Conners (Ballston Spa, N.Y.) recorded his second 20-save game of the season on Saturday afternoon, but it was not enough as the Quinnipiac University men's lacrosse team suffered an 11-10 loss to instate rival Hartford at the QU Lacrosse Turf Field on Mount Carmel Campus.
The loss drops the Bobcats to 3-2 on the year, now enduring back-to-back one-goal losses after a 12-11 decision against Providence on Tuesday. On the other side, Hartford has now won two straight after surrendering three losses to open the season to improve to 2-3.
"I told the guys after the loss on Tuesday, in order to win close games you need to execute, you need poise and you need confidence," said head coach Eric Fekete. "Today we lacked some poise and we didn't execute, and this outcome is what you're going to get. That's a good team, and whether you lose by one or 10, it doesn't really matter. We went from 3-0 to 3-2, and we play again on Tuesday. We have to pick up our game."
Conners was spectacular for the Bobcats, turning aside 20 of Hartford's 31 shots on goal. He stopped five shots in each of the first and second quarters, collected three in the third and finished with seven in the final 15 minutes of play. He also added eight groundballs.
Offensively, Quinnipiac featured a balanced attack that saw 10 players with at least one point on the afternoon. Basil Kostaras(Southlake, Texas) finished with three points on the strength of two goals and an assist while picking up a groundball and causing two turnovers. Brendan Wilbur (Hingham, Mass.) extended his point-streak to 13 straight games with a goal and two assists, while Matt Diehl (Towson, Md.), Jake Emms (Victoria, B.C.) and Michael Sagl (West Islip, N.Y.) each added a goal and an assist.
Evenly matched throughout the entire game, neither team saw a lead of more than two goals in the contest. Hartford controlled the better of the play early on – taking a 5-3 lead with 11:08 left in the second quarter - but Quinnipiac answered with two straight goals to close the first half scoring summary. Dylan Webster (Brampton, Ontario) scored the team's fourth goal of the game, and Jay Binkowski (Bethany, Conn.) followed with another to create a 5-5 deadlock at halftime.
After the break, Quinnipiac quickly broke the stalemate with a tally from Kostaras just three minutes into the third quarter. The teams went back-and-forth into the fourth quarter, when Hartford managed to create some separation between the two teams. With the score knotted up a nine apiece, Rory Nunamacher granted the Hawks a 10-9 lead, which was followed by some breathing room with a tally from Austin Gorman. Gorman's goal came with 5:08 showing on the clock, completing the hat trick for the sophomore attackman.
Quinnipiac got one back with 2:43 left in regulation off the stick of Wilbur; however was unable to find the equalizer in the waning minutes. The Bobcats last possession came with 30 seconds left, but saw two shots sail wide of the target allowing Hartford to escape with the one-goal triumph.
Two key statistics for the game proved to be turnovers and the results in the circle. Quinnipiac committed 19 turnovers and surrendered a 15-10 edge on the faceoff. Hartford also tallied a 48-37 advantage in shots and a 31-18 edge in shots on goal.
Hartford, now winners in its last four straight against the Bobcats, was led by Gorman and Jack Bobzien who each finished with four points apiece. Kevin O'Shea added a goal and two assists and Brad Hutton had a goal and an assist.

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks are exploring the possibility of signing forward Scott Gomez, who became an unrestricted free agent this week when the final two seasons of his seven-year, $51 million contract were bought out by the Montreal Canadiens.
"We look at it that he's 33, he's won two cups," Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said. "A very versatile player."
Gomez visited Sharks Ice on Saturday and is open to signing with San Jose.
"It's a great group of guys and a great team," Gomez said after a short skate at the facility. "We'll see what happens. If that's the case and that's the way they want to go, hopefully I can try and help this team win."
Prior to joining the Canadiens, Gomez played for the New Jersey Devils and won the Calder Trophy in 2000 for Rookie of the Year under current Sharks associate coach Larry Robinson. That's considered a key to the mutual interest.
"He's probably one of the true passers in the league," Robinson said. "If you're a goal scorer and you get open, he'll find you."
The Anaheim Ducks -- with their lack of experience at center -- were also reported to be a potential suitor for Gomez, who as of Saturday afternoon didn't know what the future held.
"Just kind of getting a lay of the land" in San Jose, Gomez said. "Nothing's set in stone ... it's still kind of up in the air."
Gomez had a career-high 33 goals and 84 points with New Jersey in 2005-06, leading to that huge contract from the New York Rangers.
But after his scoring tailed off at the price that Montreal had to pay for his services after acquiring him, Gomez was considered a disappointment. Limited by injuries in 2011-12, he had two goals and nine assists in 38 games.
Gomez was originally told by Montreal to stay home this season rather than risk injury in the minor leagues that would have forced them to pay his full salary next season. Later, the NHL modified its rules and Gomez was considered a "compliance buyout" after clearing waivers.
With Montreal still picking up his pro-rated $5.5 million salary this season and responsible for two-thirds of his $4.5 million salary in 2013-14, he could be considered a valuable addition at a much lower price.
The change of scenery might not hurt Gomez, either, with the relatively laid-back West Coast a far cry from Montreal's pressure-packed, hockey-is-religion environment.
"Let's put it this way. It can either make you or break you," said Robinson of playing in Montreal. "If you let it bother you, it'll bother you a lot.
Robinson won the Stanley Cup six times in his Hall of Fame playing career with the Canadiens,
"He's been kicked down and stepped on, and now it's about how he's going to respond to it," Robinson said. "If he's the type of person that I think he is, he's going to respond very well."

"It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the City of Lansing as your chief of police, and I will always cherish the memories and the friendships I've developed both inside and outside the department,"
Chief Szymanski
Lansing Police Chief Teresa Szymanski will be retiring effective April 20th.
In a release, Chief Szymanski says "I am grateful to Mayor (Virg) Bernero for placing his trust in me to run the best police department in the state of Michigan, but it is time to move on to new challenges and new opportunities."
Mayor Bernero is expected to name an interim chief in the coming days.
Szymanski has served with the Lansing Police Department for 26 years.
She was named interim chief in March 2010 after Mark Alley retired.
Szymanski was promoted to chief in February 2011.
Both she and the mayor will discuss her retirement this afternoon, and we will have more in our evening broadcasts.

The app store and tech specs were clearly defined for the iPad but I couldn't find anything about digital comics. I had digital comics that I was reading on Mac apps, but I couldn't find much on IOS comic book apps. I assumed that comic books would look incredible on the iPad but I hadn't physically seen any!!! It took a lot of time and research to find answers so I have have decided to create a definitive guide to comic books for the iPad.
