Knitter's Review
March 29, 2012
The food world has its notion of "terroir." Close your eyes and you can pick up hints of a distinct geography, soil, water, air, you name it, in every sip of wine, every nibble of cheese.
I like to think that yarn, too, has terroir. Tahki's Donegal Tweed is still spun in the county for which it was named in Ireland, and this week I show what you'll find when you cast on and start knitting with it.

Knitter's Review
April 11, 2013
Knitting is tricky business. We usually pick our sweater patterns like clothing out of a catalog. We pick the best yarn, choose the size, and dutifully execute the instructions, stitch by stitch.
We make a beautiful garment, but how often does it really fit us to perfection, much less flatter our figures? Not often enough.
Amy Herzog has been on a mission to change this, first with her Fit to Flatter workshops and now, with her new much anticipated book, Knit to Flatter. Amy is that wise, nonjudgmental friend you can trust to steer you away from the stinkers and toward projects that make you feel truly fabulous every single time you wear them.

As a columnist/blogger, I�m used to getting PR pitches for products, authors, and experts looking for some exposure on my blog. The pitches run from the mundane to the somewhat outrageous. Yet nothing in my pitch-receiving past prepared me for the email I got today.
It was for an expert on Cosmetic Procedures for Pets.
As a longtime pet owner, I was first shocked, then equal parts disgusted and horrified. Although I had joked in the past about my old dog Riley�s weight struggles, I never would have considered getting him Lipo to slim his thighs.
And certainly not before I got it first.
Then I wondered if I was failing our new dog, Monty, you know, in a shallow, superficial kind of way. I give him lots of love and attention and play with him all the time. But I haven't considered doing anything expensive and completely unnecessary to improve his appearance. What kind of pet owner am I??
I never really worried that the other dogs would mock him for his crooked teeth. But maybe I should get him braces. Nothing says dapper dog like a perfect canine smile.
And then there�s the issue of Botox. Does he have frown lines? I really don�t know. There's all that fur in the way. And speaking of fur� does he have too much? Does it make him self-conscious? He doesn�t just have a unibrow… he has a whole UNIFACE. Maybe we should do some electrolysis?
Our Bearded Dragon clearly has a skin problem. He skin is very dry and rough and he�s constantly sloughing off large pieces of derma. Although this is a good look for zombies, it's not a particularly attractive look for lizards. Had I been a good owner, I probably should have taken him to a dermatologist and gotten him a good exfoliation. Then maybe a little �lift� to tighten up some of that sagging skin.
Hmmm� I wonder if we can get a two-fer?
Then there's our Chinchilla. He has a big problem with ear hair.
There are massive tufts of the stuff coming out of his big chinchilla ears. Of course there are no other Chinchillas around to notice, and even if there were, I suspect they'd all have the same issue. Still, I think you�d stand a much better chance with the lady chinchillas if you didn�t look like there was a fuzzy forest in your ears.
Seriously though� who gets their pets nipped and tucked? I'm pretty sure the pets don't care what they look like. When was the last time you saw your dog staring in the mirror or stepping on the scale? Does your Beagle worry about bathing suit season? Does your Boxer want a button nose? Somehow, I think our pets are more concerned with loving us unconditionally. Shouldn�t we show them the same courtesy?
So thank you PR people, but I think I�ll pass on your Pet Cosmetic expert. I love my dog just the way he is� uniface and all.

Months after the city of Hannibal's red-light camera system was removed from the intersection of U.S. 61 and Pleasant Street/West Ely Road so improvements could be made, no decision has been made regarding if the system can safely be re-installed.
"There are still plans to put them in, but there's nothing really new to report. They're still working on the plans," said Lt. John Zerbonia of the Hannibal Police Department.
"They" would be Redflex Traffic Systems, which owns all the red-light camera systems in use along the U.S. 61 corridor in Hannibal. In October, Police Chief Lyndell Davis said Redflex was contacted when it became apparent there might be a space issue at the new and improved intersection.
"They'll do an on-site inspection as well as look over any plans and drawings that MoDOT has as far as where things are, easements and things of that nature," he said last fall. "There's some options that Redflex will have to explore, everything ranging from getting some easements from property owners, to working something out with MoDOT, or using different types of technology."
City Manager Jeff LaGarce is a proponent of bringing back the Pleasant Street/West Ely Road camera system.
"It is very important to reinstitute photo enforcement at that intersection. We're exploring means to make that possible," he said, adding that he could not elaborate on the options being reviewed.
According to Davis, it didn't take long for police to notice a reduction in the number of incidents at that intersection after a red-light camera system was installed there in 2007.
"Within a matter of months we saw a significant reduction in people running the red light and accidents started dropping," he said.
Another benefit of red-light cameras is the cash they generate for the city. According to Hannibal Finance Director Doug Warren, the fiscal year 2013 budget is projecting a net of $500,000 from red-light tickets.

Whole Foods Gets Splintered After Earnings 'Reset'
If you want to bask in the glow of the efficient-markets theory, don't look too closely at Whole Foods Markets right now. In fact, don't look at all.
Shares of the high-end, organic grocer are down about 20%, getting walloped after yet another disappointing earnings report. At least half a dozen of Wall Street's finest took a meat clever to their ratings, price targets, and outlooks, and there seems to be a general consensus that it's time to fundamentally reset and rethink expectations for the company.
"The latest earnings report marks the sixth out of seven consecutive quarters in which guidance/earnings have resulted in significant disappointment," Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Ajay Jain wrote in cutting shares to sell from hold (it cut Whole Foods to hold from buy in July 2013). Cantor rates just 7.5% of the stocks it covers a sell.
Whole Foods reported late Tuesday that fiscal second-quarter earnings were flat from a year ago, at $142 million, albeit revenue was up nearly 10% at $3.32 billion. However, the company did what the investment community hadn't done: looked at the market, looked at the competitive threat, and ratcheted down its entire outlook: "For a long time Whole Foods had the field to ourselves," Co-CEO John Mackey said on a conference call. "That was nice, but we don't anymore."
The thing is, that should've been apparent. Whole Foods same-store sales have been sliding for two years. The second quarter's 4.5% growth rate was the slowest since January 2010. But the company managed to catch the momentum wave that's been lifting so many other stocks. Why bother rocking the boat when the good times are rolling?
"Even though WFM has already traded down by more than 25% relative to 52-week highs, we don't believe there has been any corresponding multiple contraction during that time," Cantor's Jain wrote, noting the stock still trades at around 31 times its quarterly EPS – at least it did before this Wednesday's trading. "We don't believe the stock has gotten a critical look from investors for quite some time."
That may finally, belatedly, be happening. Shares of Whole Foods are down 19% at $38.62. Shares have almost literally fallen off a cliff. Check out this chart:
"The new outlook was a sobering reminder of how competitive the niche grocery space is today," Charles Grom at Sterne Agee wrote, cutting shares to neutral. "The rules of engagement have changed."
"We believe we have likely underestimated the nature of the accelerating competitive environment," BMO Capital Markets analyst Kelly Bania, cutting shares to market perform.
Of course, there's always a buying opportunity on the Street for someone. Argus analyst Chris Graja actually upgraded the stock to buy from hold before Wednesday's plunge, arguing that he's been more conservative in his estimates all along. The company's broad reset actually puts it in line with what he was thinking anyhow. "Despite management's initiatives to lower prices, we believe that a 12% growth rate remains achievable and an attractive driver of valuation."
He has a $48 price target on the stock.

Last night's episode of Community experimented with product placement by writing an entire script around a sponsor. KFC was that sponsor, which might have been difficult to advertise—had they not created a flight simulator fueled by the Colonel.
The group accidentally gets locked inside of the KFC-fueled flight simulator—which happens to be on it's way to a desolate dessert because of the rival community college's evil plans. Abed was left behind and channels his best Armageddon impression and leads the team through the simulation. Also, Pierce goes goes crazy.
Annie admits that she's behind the whole scheme to steal the flight simulator and when Pierce completely loses it and tears down the Colonel's face, Jeff realizes that someone small can squeeze through and drive the ship back to campus. Annie drives, and they are given a hero's welcome home.
Of course, my personal favorite bit of the episode probably was the tail-end of the show for another edition of "Troy and Abed make zany videos."

Pitch Perfect
- Air Date:
- Beca (Anna Kendrick) is that girl who'd rather listen to what's coming out of her headphones than what's coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together, in the new out-loud comedy Pitch Perfect. When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the cutthroat world of college a cappella. This could wind up either the coolest thing they'll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both.

Hey guys, happy holidays!
When I rip my Blu-ray discs, I'd like to perform all of the transcoding at the time of ripping. That way, when I stream to PS3 Media Server, there is no transcoding necessary: It simply streams the audio and video without any CPU overhead. Since I have Gigabit ethernet, which should be more than sufficient for streaming this content in real time, hopefully this will eliminate skips / stutters that are caused when the transcoding buffer starves because my CPU can't keep up with the movie.
Can someone tell me, exactly what formats do I need to transcode my Blu-rays into for Audio and Video, which are "native" for PS3 Media Server and thus require NO TRANSCODING AT ALL? I would like the quality to be as close to "lossless" as possible. I've made some assumptions based on a note that shows up in "Transcoder Settings" that reads, "...video is automatically transcoded and muxed to a MPEG-PS / AC3 audio (highly compatible on PS3)".
It seems Audio should be Dolby Digital AC-3 5.1, 640kbit/s, 48 kHz. Questions:
* I see that PMS has "Keep DTS audio in stream" option. But I understand that the PS3's File Mode player natively supports only AC-3, AAC, MP3, and 2-channel WMA. Not DTS. Therefore I am not sure what the point of keeping the DTS stream would be -- is it discarded by the PS3? Does PMS transcode it? Am I wrong, and PS3 File Mode actually does support DTS?
It seems Video should be MPEG-PS container format. Questions
* But exactly which video codec is this? I understand Blu-ray spec requires a video codec from one of the three:
Codec 1) MPEG-2 Part 2
Codec used on regular DVDs, allowing backwards compatibility
Least efficient
Codec 2) H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
Most common and most efficient
Developed by MPEG, Sony and VGEC
Codec 3) SMPTE VC-1
PS3 can't handle this natively; must re-encode to one of the other two first
Please help me understand which audio and video codec to use when I rip, to eliminate any PS3 Media Server transcoding. Thank you!

Immigrants face drug charges
Published: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 11:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 11:30 a.m.
Three Mexican men living in Louisiana without visas admitted Thursday to selling cocaine and marijuana out of their Houma and Schriever homes, the Justice Department said.
The three men, who formerly lived at 216 Plant Road in Houma and 1945 La. 311 in Schriever, pleaded guilty in federal court, but a judge has not sentenced them. The maximum sentence for the crimes they admitted to is life in prison, Department of Justice officials said.
Juan Hernandez, 25, was arrested in Houma, and Oliber Hernandez, 30, and Pedro Cruz, 28, were arrested in Schriever, officials said. The drug seizures and arrests all happened May 1. Investigators found Juan Hernandez holding a handgun before arresting him.
State Police and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security purchased cocaine from these men in the spring of 2012, court documents say.
During the arrests, investigators seized 1,372 grams of cocaine from Juan Hernandez and more than 5,344 grams of marijuana and one gram of methamphetamine from Oliver Hernandez and Cruz, officials said.

Conrad Bain was best known for his role on "Diff'rent Strokes," but the late actor -- who died Wednesday of natural causes in Livermore, Calif. -- also had a few other memorable supporting roles in television and film. Here are five of his most notable.
1. Philip Drummond on "Diff'rent Strokes": From 1978 to 1986, he played the Park Avenue millionaire who adopted the two black sons of his late domestic employee. Although upstaged by the child actors, Bain was always seen as the show's stabilizing character.
2. Dr. Arthur Harmon on "Maude": From 1972 to 1978, he served as the conservative counterpoint for Bea Arthur's title character and the husband of Rue McClahan's character.
3. Charlie Ross on "Mr. President": He was the trusted chief of staff for George C. Scott's president in the comedy from 1987 to 1988.
4. Grandpa in "Postcards from the Edge": His most notable film role -- also his last on the big screen -- came in this film starring Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine. Bain was the muddled grandfather who played opposite crabby Mary Wickes.
5. Philip Drummond on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air": Few remember that Bain resurrected his beloved "Diff'rent Strokes" character on the series finale of the comedy that made Will Smith a household name.

Cecily McMillan, Final Occupy Wall Street Defendant, Takes The Stand
An Occupy Wall Street member accused of assaulting a New York Police Department officer testified in her own defense Tuesday, saying she is nonviolent and advocated against using physical force inside the movement.
Cecily McMillan, a 25-year-old graduate student, is the final criminal defendant stemming from the arrests made during the months when Occupy Wall Street was camped at Zuccotti Park or tried to reclaim the lower Manhattan space after being evicted, prosecutors said.
Ms. McMillan previously declined an offer from prosecutors to plead guilty to second-degree assault on a police officer in exchange for a recommendation that she not serve prison time.
"From the moment I showed up I was very concerned that there was no sort of mission statement," Ms. McMillan said about her first days talking with Occupy Wall Street organizers in August 2011. She said she wanted the group to adopt a statement explicitly adopting nonviolence as a policy. The idea was unpopular among more radical participants and was never adopted, she said.
Before Ms. McMillan took the stand, several witnesses testifying for the defense said she often discussed nonviolence.
The charge against Ms. McMillan was filed after a March 17, 2012 confrontation when demonstrators celebrating the six-month anniversary of the movement returned to Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan, four months after their eviction. Police officers were making arrests, prosecutors said, when Ms. McMillan elbowed Officer Grantley Bovell, injuring his eye. She could face up to seven years in prison if the jury finds her guilty.
When she resumes her testimony Wednesday, Ms. McMillan is expected to say that Officer Bovell grabbed her breast from behind, and that she threw her elbow reflexively. Grainy video footage presented at trial appears to show McMillan hitting Officer Bovell, but doesn't definitively show if it was intentional or not.
Officer Bovell testified earlier in April, saying he was escorting Ms. McMillan out of Zuccotti Park when suddenly "she crouched down, she elbowed me in the face."

Tests and procedures used to diagnose spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) involve creating pictures of your arteries to look for signs of abnormalities.
During a set of procedures called cardiac catheterization and coronary angiogram, doctors inject a special dye into your arteries so they'll show up on imaging tests. To get the dye to your arteries, doctors insert a long, thin tube (catheter) into an artery — usually in your leg or arm — and thread the tube to the arteries in the heart.
Once the dye is released, doctors use X-rays to create pictures of the arteries. The X-rays may show abnormalities in an artery that help confirm spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD).
After coronary angiogram, other tools may be inserted through the catheter and into the affected artery to create pictures. These imaging tests may include:
The images may show abnormalities in an artery that help doctors confirm spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and gather information to guide treatment decisions.
During a cardiac computerized tomography (CT) angiography scan, you lie on a table inside a doughnut-shaped machine. An X-ray tube inside the machine rotates around your body and collects images of your heart and chest, which can show abnormalities in your arteries. Cardiac CT angiography may be used in addition to other tests and procedures.

OAKLAND -- The murder trial of 18-year-old Casey Turner revolves largely around the statements of three witnesses, none of whom wanted to appear in court for fear of street retribution.
Two of the witness, both friends of James Allen Jr., 18, who was killed with a single bullet to the chest during a gunbattle in 2010, have testified that Turner began the fight by shooting his semi-automatic pistol at Allen and a group of friends in East Oakland.
The third witness, a resident of an apartment building near the scene, said she saw Turner run from the scene after Allen fell to the ground with blood dripping from his mouth.
Deputy district attorney Butch Ford said the statements provide enough evidence for the jury of seven women and five men to convict Turner of second-degree murder.
But Turner's defense attorney, Darryl Billups, told the jury the witnesses provided nothing but more questions that were never answered by the prosecution.
Turner, who was 15 at the time of the slaying but charged as an adult, could be sentenced to life in prison in the midday shooting, which was sparked by a fight over a girl.
Allen's two friends told police that Turner started the gunfight as the group walked out of a corridor of an apartment building at 2124 90th Ave. in East Oakland.
One friend testified in court during the trial; the other, who is on life-support in a hospital after being gunned down in an unrelated shooting, testified during a hearing last year.
Both said they had just emerged from a narrow corridor of the apartment building when they saw Turner across the street pointing a gun in their direction. Before they could make a move, both said, Turner began firing and they scattered.
As they ran away, they said, they saw Allen fire his gun in Turner's direction, and then they saw him drop to the ground.
The neighbor testified that she heard the gunshots and then looked outside and saw Turner with a gun walking toward Allen and then running from the scene after looking at Allen on the ground bleeding from the mouth.
Ford said testimony that indicates Turner was the first to fire his gun and that he allegedly fired into a crowd of other boys is enough to convict the 18-year-old of second-degree murder.
"It's not one shot, it's not two shots, it's not three shots, it's four more than that," Ford said. "These kids are out there playing with guns like it's a game. Like (the guns) are toys."
But Billups said the evidence presented against his client does not make the case clear. Billups said one of the friends who gave police a statement had said that Allen wanted to kill Turner because he was involved with the mother of Allen's baby.
"I don't mean to be facetious, but there's some baby mama drama, the things you see on 'Jerry Springer' and 'Maury Povich,'" Billups said.
Billups also said questions have not been answered about why Allen and his friends were walking through the apartment building hallway.
"What were they trying to do? Sneak up on somebody," Billups asked. "They were looking for him to kill him, and at that point what are you supposed to do?"
Billups suggested that if his client was the shooter, the shooting was done in self-defense, but he also argued that the prosecution has not even presented enough evidence proving his client was at the scene.
Identifications made by the three witnesses were done under duress, Billups said. He said those who identified his client were scared of the police and fearful if they did not identify Turner they would be charged with murder.
Billups also said the neighbor who testified never said she saw Turner fire the gun, only that she saw him at the scene after the shooting.
Billups said the case presented in court could have easily been reversed, with his client being the victim and Allen sitting at the defense table accused of murder.
In addition to murder, Turner is accused of two counts of attempted murder. The jury began deliberating the case Monday afternoon.

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- It's finally happening. A Sam's Club is being built in Aiken County.
"I am excited that it's coming. We can't wait for it to open. It will save us a trip to Augusta, Ga., to visit Sam's there and shop," said Sarah Medlock of Graniteville.
Medlock is a loyal Sam's shopper. Right now, she drives all the way to Augusta. Soon, she'll have a Sam's Club only a mile from her home.
Of course, the fight to bring one to Aiken County is nothing new. It started almost a decade ago.
"We'd get excited about it, and then it seemed like it was never going to get here," she said.
Around 2006, the City of Aiken turned Sam's away from building on Whiskey Road. Residents complained to the Planning and Development Department that it didn't fit the environment around the intersection of Whiskey Road and Powderhouse Road on the south side.
Now, seven years later, the permits are ready for construction outside city limits near the corner of University Parkway and Richland Avenue. Preliminary site work is already taking place. Aiken County Planning and Development Department Building Official Richard Hallman says the Sam's Club should be up and running by this time next year.
In south Aiken, new retailers are also popping up. Construction began this week on Academy Sports near the intersection of Pine Log and Silver Bluff roads.
"We have to be delighted to have large companies like Bridgestone coming into Aiken County, but it's the small business that generates the jobs," said City Councilman and Mayor Pro Tem Dick Dewar.
Dewar says those jobs are coming there to Academy Sports and about a mile away at the South Park Shopping Center. Work on a Fresh Market is well underway. It should be done by April or May.
Dewar adds that there's plenty of room in the shopping center. He says there's room for almost 20 retailers.
"Fresh Market will not be occupying the largest space. There is one space larger than Fresh Market, so that's the mystery of who's going in that space," he said.
Some have speculated that a Starbucks or other businesses could be moving in there, but those are just rumors right now.
In the meantime, Fresh Market is already offering 13 jobs online. Click here to view those jobs.

With runners on the corners, Damian singled down the left field line to score Benavidez. Hillary Adams followed with a single through the left side to score Damian and Isbell. The Islanders pulled out of the inning with a ground out to Carroll at third.

American Bank Center (8,100) • Corpus Christi, Texas
CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team will return home after dropping three straight and five of their last six on the road. The Islanders will host UTSA in their second Southland Conference game of the season Wednesday night at the American Bank Center.
The Islanders sit at 4-10 and 0-1 in the SLC and are looking to snap a string of 17 conference losses dating back to last season. In the conference opener on Saturday, Zoe Vega-Vega powered the Islanders with her first double-double of the season, but the Islanders dropped their fifth road game of the season, falling 66-51, to defending conference champion McNeese State.
The Islanders are 6-8 all-time against UTSA and hold the 4-3 advantage against the Roadrunners at home. The last home win against UTSA came on Jan. 23, 2010 with the Islanders squeezing out the 52-48 victory.
UTSA has been selected as the preseason favorite to win the Southland Conference West Division after finishing 11-5 last season. The Roadrunners also have a 4-10 record and sit at 0-1 in the conference.
• Zoe Vega-Vega started for the first time this season against McNeese State on Saturday and tallied her first double-double of the season with 11 points and 10 rebounds in a season-high 27 minutes.
• Imani Dunn had her first career start and tallied a career-high eight points, including 2-of-4 from behind the arc in a season-high 17 minutes.
• Texas A&M - Corpus Christi is outshooting their opponents from behind the arc .364 percent (62-218) to .258 (78-302). The Islanders are shooting .353 from the field in conference play.
• The Islanders have dropped three straight and five of their last six.
• Coach Robinson has used five different starting lineups this season.
• Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will take on UTSA and Southeastern Louisiana this week. The Islanders are 6-8 all-time against UTSA and 3-3 all-time against Southeastern Louisiana.
Zoe Vega-Vega powered the Islanders with her first double-double of the season, but the Islanders dropped their fifth road game of the season, falling 66-51, to McNeese State in the Southland Conference opener. The Cowgirls capitalized at the free-throw line making 19-of-22.
Vega-Vega paced the Islanders with a season-high 11 points and tied a career-high 10 rebounds in her first start of the season. Imani Dunn scored a career-high eight points including 2-of-3 from behind the arc in 17 minutes of play in her first career start. Marquesha Anderson-Sparks chipped in eight points and three assists to round out the Islanders scoring.
UTSA heads into Wednesday's game with a 4-10 overall record and sits at 0-4 on the road. The Roadrunners have dropped their last three games and five of their last six.
The Roadrunners are coming off a 63-50 loss to Sam Houston State in their conference home opener on Saturday. Last season the Roadrunners finished 11-5 in the SLC and advanced to the semifinals. This season, the Roadrunners have victories over Texas-Pan American, Houston, Detroit and FIU.
On the season, UTSA averages 55.2 points, shoots .332 from the floor (254-of-765), .218 percent (48-of-220) from three-point range and .678 (217-of-320) from the line.

The last time the two teams met up was at home on Feb. 23, 2011. The Roadrunners sealed a 93-62 victory. Taryn Gregory scored a career-high 17 points, five rebounds and three steals in 27 minutes and Jessica Jammer scored 10 points. Imani Dunn, Brandi Huff and Zoe Vega-Vega also saw action.

In the Islanders conference opener against McNeese State, the senior stepped her game up, posting her first double-double of the season with 11 points and 10 rebounds in her first season start. The senior also tallied two assists, one steal and went 3-of-4 from the charity stripe in a seaon-high 27 minutes.
Vega-Vega came off the bench against Indiana and pulled down a team-high eight rebounds, two short of tying her career best. The senior is averaging 3.6 points per game and 3.6 rebounds per game in 15.2 minutes per game.
Senior Myeisha Myles has stepped up for the Islanders as of late. She posted a balanced attack for the Islanders against the Indiana Hoosiers. Myles powered the Islanders with her seventh double-digit scoring game of the season with a team-high 19 points and grabbed five boards, while also adding three blocks and two steals in 25 minutes of play.

Against SMU, the Wharton, Texas native, posted a season-high 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting and dished out eight assists while jumpstarting the Islanders scoring in the second half. At Indiana, the junior passed out seven assists, while tallying four points and five rebounds in 33 minutes.
She is averaging 6.4 points per game, 4.3 rebounds and is second on the team in steals with 15. Taylor along with the Myles are the only two Islanders to have started all 14 games.

Trona High School first-responder regional occupation program students got an up-close and hands-on look at a Mercy Air medical-evacuation helicopter Wednesday when the helicopter crew visited the San Bernardino Fire Department station in Trona.
Prior to the helicopter's arrival, Mercy Air Area Business Manager Bill Baker talked to the students about setting up a landing zone and careers with Mercy Air as well as safety issues associated with flying.
"We work very closely with the fire departments," he said. "The fire departments are the ones who are usually on the scene to set up our landing zones."
Baker said he taught the students how to set up a landing zone and the parameters associated with ensuring a safe landing zone.
"Flight nurses are required to have five years experience to be hired with us, and paramedics are required to have three years," he said. "Pilots are required to have 2,500 hours."
Firefighter Karin Siegle said the department is in contact with Mercy Air.
"They need to know what to expect on a call," she said. "There are a lot of dangers and safety hazards."
She showed students how to prepare a landing zone, such as wetting the ground to keep dust and debris down.
First-responder ROP instructor Capt. Doris Vanhorn said this is part of the ROP curriculum.
"This is special operations," she said. "When the firefighters are out on a call like a trauma patient, we have to know how to land a helicopter. We have to know how to approach a helicopter. It's also the issues of special operations. I wanted them to see there is aviation here. There's flight nurses and paramedics. There's all kinds of skills they can go into and be in a helicopter."

Copper, silver, gold, charcoal, timber, sheep and, finally, snow have all at one time been products of Copper Mountain, from the early 1800s up to the present day. This weekend, the Copper Mountain ski area, which opened in 1972, celebrates its 40th anniversary. While much has changed since those early years, the memories of those who experienced them have not, presenting us with a rich view of a history that stretches over four decades.
Pre ski
It was an unknown miner who gave Copper its name, disappointed after digging a mineshaft into the peak and only turning up low-grade copper ore. Gold and silver were mined from around copper through the 1880s, alongside which cropped up the town of Wheeler and a railroad station.
While eventually ski areas like Vail, Breckenridge and Arapahoe Basin became established and started drawing skiers into the mountains, Copper remained silent. Although a few had noted it favorably, it wasn't until the U.S. Forest Service mentioned the mountain in a 1969 report that people began to recognize its true potential.
"If ever there was a mountain that had terrain created for skiing, it would be Copper Mountain," the report stated and many believed it.
The beginning
Just as the birth of any great endeavor, Copper's wasn't easy. A reluctant private landowner and a need of large amounts of funding during a shaky economic period were just a few of the challenges facing the ski area's inception.
A group of about 16 initial investors gathered to organize the purchase of the 280 acres of private land in the valley and then raise the rest of the funds necessary to build up the ski area itself. The group was led by Chuck Froelicher, who in turn brought in Charles D. "Chuck" Lewis, a man whose name would become almost synonymous with Copper.
Lewis already had experience in the ski business, having served as general manager and later vice president and treasurer at Vail Mountain. He is described as an accomplished skier and avid outdoorsman, whose passion for skiing and the mountain shone through in everything he did.
Hoping to hold the grand opening in 1971, Lewis traveled back and forth across the country seeking funding. For a long while he was unsuccessful and it wasn't until June of 1971 that he finally reached his goal.
Copper Mountain opened for the 1972-73 season with around 20 trails and five lifts. Now, the ski area boasts 126 trails and 22 lifts, with 2,465 acres of terrain.
Passion passed around
Nearly every story about Copper's early years seems to involve Lewis in some way, and many afterwards as well. Former employees praise his skiing skill and passion almost as much as his friendly personality.
"He was something," said Bob Winsett, who started working at Copper in 1973. "He'd go out and tell the lift operators to take a break and bump chairs for a while. He was that kind of guy. There was nothing elite about him, nothing about him that wanted to be separate from the employees. He was one of the best bosses you could ever have."
Lewis was in his mid 30s when Copper started and could often be found on the mountain, working, chatting with employees or spending time with his family - wife Penny and three young children.
"He was a great guy," Chuck "CJ" Julin, Copper's 116th employee, recalled. "He had a passion for skiing; he really loved to ski, so as a founder and as someone who runs a resort or is responsible for it, his love and passion filtered down to the employees."
The employees loved him not only for his passion but for the opportunities he gave them to be a part of Copper. According to former Copper employee and current general manager of Eldora Mountain Resort Jim Spenst, many of the new hires were young and eager to join the ski industry.
"When he started Copper, he allowed a lot of us that were young to do things," Spenst said. "A lot of other ski areas were already entrenched - they had their mountain managers, they had their head cat drivers, they had their head lift guys. ... Chuck was willing to let us younger guys, I was 19 years old when I went to work at Copper, loading lifts, driving cats, helping work on trails, ski patrolling, busing tables, doing whatever needed to be done, it was a real family kind of atmosphere."
As a result of that trust, Lewis was able to get his crew to do "just about anything," Spenst said. One example is the 1976 U.S. Nationals. When lack of snow drove the event out of Heavenly at Utah, Lewis decided that Copper would step up, which it did, preparing in just two weeks.
"He gathered a bunch of us together and said this is what we're going to do and we're going to get it done," Spenst remembered. And they did. Spenst also credits Lewis for many of the tricks and methods that he's used during his ski industry career.
The spirit of the mountain
Lewis cared very much about the community among his employees, working to make sure that they felt supported, by the resort and each other. Many of the former Ski Patrol members still speak fondly of the tight-knit group that formed.
"It was a whole lot of fun, back in those days," said Chuck Tolton, who worked at Copper for 35 years as a ski patrolman.
"When I was patrolling, there were probably less than 25 of us," Winsett said. "It was a privilege to work for Chuck Lewis at Copper in any capacity, but it was definitely a privilege to be on that Ski Patrol with the people that were there, because they were all super qualified mountaineers and skiers. ... Back in those days, everybody was there because they wanted to be there."
Not only did the employees work together all day, but they often spent their free time together as well. Many of them lived in condominiums right in the village, Spenst recalled.
"A lot of us ended up marrying those that we worked with and having kids," he said.
He was one of them. Though he had known her before, his future wife worked at various positions in the resort and her sister was one of the first woman snow cat operators in Colorado.
Although now Copper employs many more people, that doesn't mean there still isn't a sense of camaraderie to be found.
"Yes, there's been an extraordinary amount of change, but the essence of the sport, the simple enjoyment of being outside, for ski area workers, I think, is largely the same," Tolton said. "Why else would you do it if you really didn't enjoy yourself and the people that you're out there working with?"
While 40 years may seem like a lot, time can be tricky, particularly when it comes to memory.
"It seems like it was just yesterday," Julin said. "It did go by very fast. I think it's great to celebrate it, because it is a chance for all of us to celebrate our opportunity to meet Chuck and be a part of his dream, but also to re-connect with people that we haven't seen for many years. (That) was a big part of it, because we all had a chance to stand at that threshold of a frontier, the frontier which is now the modern ski industry, and we shared that together."
He added, "Chuck Lewis, he's there - his spirit's there, his heart's there, so those things just continue on."

About the Book
It's the book Julianna Stone fans have been waiting for: the story of Azaiel, the ultimate fallen angel, as he fights the forces of evil in a desperate attempt to save his true love. King of the Damned is one of the biggest, darkest, most powerfully romantic League of Guardians books yet. New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon says that Julianna Stone is "on her way to becoming a paranormal favorite." We couldn't agree more. King of the Damned is a perfect read for fans of paranormal romances, and books by Christine Feehan, Nalini Singh, and Pamela Palmer.
With darkness all around him, the League of Guardians is his only means of redemption . . .
Azaiel, the Fallen, has been given a second chance to atone for the sins of his past. With demons gathering and threatening the League, he must find out if their circle has been breached. What he doesn't foresee is a woman—a fierce warrior—who will turn his world upside down and awaken his tortured soul.
Rowan James is a powerful witch out to avenge the death of her beloved grandmother, but she needs an ally. Will she be able to trust a man with secrets as dark as the sorrow in his eyes? Loving Rowan means risking salvation and yet Azaiel cannot ignore the hunger burning hot between them—his one last chance at happiness. With danger all around them, will these two desperate souls finally find love in each other . . .or be forever damned?

Marietta High played host Claymont tough in the first and fourth quarters but struggled during the middle periods.
Consequently, the J.D. Secrest-coached Tigers (0-1, 0-1) suffered a 66-39 setback to the Mustangs in a season and East Central Ohio League opener Tuesday night.
Adam McKnight led the orange and black cagers with 11 points. No other Tiger scored in double digits.
After going 0-13 on three-point attempts in its opener, Claymont found the range against Marietta.
The Mustangs made 11 long-distance shots.
Kohltin Miles had six 3-pointers, one off the school record, and finished with 20 points to lead the Mustangs.
Tyler Peterson added 12 points and Blake Albaugh 11.
The Mustangs were up 11-10 after one quarter and outscored Marietta 19-6 in the second quarter and 25-11 in the third.
Marietta is scheduled to play at Zanesville in an ECOL game at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Marietta 60, Vinton County 55
Erica Dawson scored 38 points as Marietta defeated host Vinton County 60-55 in a non-conference girls basketball game Monday night.
Vinton County jumped out to an early 7-2 lead but the Lady Tigers found their legs and closed the first quarter out on a 14-2 run to take the lead at 16-9.
The bench stepped up as foul trouble mounted for the Lady Tigers. Lain Weppler, Lexi Walsh, and Starr Johnson came up big on the night.
The second quarter was back and forth as MHS had an answer for each time the Lady Vikings had a run.
At the break break, Mariett owned a 28-21 advantage.
In the second half Marietta attacked the rim and stretched its lead to 41-31 with a little over three minutes left in the third period.
Vinton County then got Caitlyn Owings and Johnna Remy going as the two combined for all the scoring in the quarter and rallied to pull Vinton to within seven with a three at the buzzer.
Owings and Remy continued the momentum in the fourth by scoring a combined 16 points.
At the 4:05 mark of the fourth VC took the lead 52-50.
MHS kept its poise, however, as Dawson then scored 10 points in the stanza. Starr Johnson assisted Dawson in the scoring column by chipping in with six points in the period, and Marietta put it away at the foul line.
Parkersburg Catholic 65, Ritchie County 37
PARKERSBURG - One thing is a certainty when opposing teams travel to Parkersburg Catholic to take on the Crusaderettes of head coach Marty Vierheller-defense.
"We preach it (defense)," said Vierheller following Parkersburg Catholic's season opening, 65-37 win over Ritchie County. "If you don't want to play it, you will get real familiar with the bench."
And the Crusaderettes played a lot of it on Tuesday, coming away with 11 steals and forcing 25 turnovers against their Little Kanawha Conference North Division rivals. Leah Hughes, who topped both teams with six steals, led all scorers with 22 points while Maddie Roedersheimer added 14 points and as many rebounds.

3.4-5 Damages - Fear Resulting from an Increased Risk of Future Medical Treatment and Disability
Revised to January 1, 2008
The plaintiff may recover damages for
fear of an increased risk of future medical treatment and disability proximately
caused by the defendant's negligence. The fear must be rational in that the
consequence feared has a reasonable basis in the evidence. Fear of a completely
fictitious or imagined consequence, having no reasonable basis, is not a
recoverable element.
Barrett v. Danbury Hospital, 232
Conn. 242, 256 n.6 (1995); Goodmaster v. Houser, 225 Conn. 637, 645-46
(1993); Petriello v. Kalman, 215 Conn. 377, 389-90 (1990).
Although no expert testimony is
needed on the existence of the plaintiff's fear, the reasonable basis for that
fear must be established by expert testimony. The underlying theory of the case
law can apply to increased risks of harm other than that of increased risk of
future medical treatment and disability. The charge can thus be modified in an
appropriate case.

A Campbellsville man has been sentenced to serve a year in prison for sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl.
Robert Elzie Followell, 39, of 3825 Raikes Hill Road appeared before Taylor Circuit Court Judge Allan Bertram on Tuesday, Jan. 22 for sentencing.
In October 2007, Followell avoided facing a jury by pleading guilty to first-degree sex abuse. A first-degree persistent felony offender charge was dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
According to court records, Followell was accused of grabbing and attempting to kiss the girl.

An 18-year-old known for posting poorly thought-out pranks on YouTube crossed a stupidity threshold Sunday night when he went on a wedgie spree outside a movie theater in his hometown of Bradenton, Florida.
Charles Ross, whose previous "pranks" include "kissing strangers" and "trust falling on strangers," was arrested by Manatee County deputies and charged with misdemeanor battery for pulling up the back of a passer-by's pants.
According to the incident report, other people who fell victim to Ross's schoolyard shenanigans "were too embarrassed to want to pursue charges."
The Sheriff's Office noted that Ross appeared to be "filming the crime with a camera," which gels with his history of "creat[ing] situations in order to harass and annoy people."
He was briefly jailed before bailing out on $750. A court date has been set for Valentine's Day.

By Wade Bourne, WF360 Mississippi Flyway Migration Editor
Hunting resumes tomorrow (Saturday, Dec. 14) in Louisiana's East and Coastal Zones after a five-day split and a 12-day split, respectively. (Hunting in the West Zone has been open since Nov. 16 and closes Dec. 15 for a six-day break.) Biologists with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) are completing their December waterfowl survey as this report was being written. Final numbers haven't been tabulated, but conversations with biologists provide a picture of mixed opportunity. Some areas are holding generous numbers of ducks, while others are lacking for birds.
"It's tough to make any definitive judgment on where we stand before the aerial survey data is compiled," says Larry Reynolds, waterfowl study leader for the LDWF. "Still, I've been in the air this week and will be back flying and counting today, and I can provide some general observations about what I've seen."
Reynolds says Catahoula Lake near Alexandria is "wrapped up" with canvasbacks and ring-necked ducks, but numbers of pintails and other dabbling ducks are surprisingly low. "We saw very few canvasbacks when we flew in November, but they're there now, so we've had a big migration of diving ducks into Catahoula," he says. "Also, I'd suspect the reason we don't have more pintails and mallards on the lake is because we've had only a five-day split this year, and there hasn't been enough time for big concentrations of these ducks to rebuild."
In the Coastal Zone, Reynolds says duck numbers are "clearly better than November." He says he and his pilot observed "a lot more diving ducks and mallards and also good numbers of gadwalls and green-winged teal, but fewer blue-winged teal than normal."
But large concentrations of ducks seem spotty in the Coastal Zone. Specifically, Reynolds mentioned good numbers of pintails and diving ducks at the mouth of the Mississippi River south of Venice. He saw a big increase in gadwalls and ring-necked ducks in Terrebonne Parish (Houma area). And he noted two large concentrations of ducks in southwest Louisiana: one between Little Pecan Island and Grand Lake and another concentration east of Pecan Island in the west Vermilion Bay marshes.
Scooter Trosclair is the on-site biologist at the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge near Grand Chenier (Vermilion and Cameron Parishes). He reports that numbers of ducks in the southwest coastal region "look bad." "Everybody here is puzzled about where our birds are," he notes. "Our numbers are lower than they should be, especially for teal. They usually make up a big portion of hunters' bags here, and when we don't have teal our people tend to struggle."
Trosclair says one bright spot is the Atchafalaya River Delta. He describes this area as 'jam-packed' with mallards, gadwalls, canvasbacks and redheads."
"I plan to be in the marsh tomorrow (near White Lake), and I'm expecting a good shoot on 'gray ducks' (gadwalls), but I'm worried about what we'll have to shoot at two days later. When there are no teal around, it can be pretty tough hunting."
John Hanks is the waterfowl biologist at the LDWF's Monroe office. He reports that conditions and duck numbers in northeast Louisiana are "fair to good, but not great." Hanks says this area has had intermittent rains throughout the last month, and there is some sheet water in rice and soybean fields. However, river levels are low, and there's been very little spill-over water in adjacent low-lying areas.
"We've got ducks on the landscape, but we're not brimming over with birds," he says. "I don't think any big concentrations of ducks have built back up in the five days of the split."
Drew Keeth is general manager of Honey Brake Lodge south of Jonesville (east of Catahoula Lake). This is one of Louisiana's premier hunting establishments and typically holds a large concentration of ducks during fall and winter. "We're loaded up right now," Keeth says. "We probably have 200,000 ducks on our property today. When the big freeze hit up north last week, a lot of new ducks came into Catahoula. We've had a lot of rain, and our water situation is good. I'm anticipating some very good hunting in the days ahead."
