USA, 2013, 101 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subject: Documentary
7pm Fri March 8 & 2pm Sat March 9
Producer Rediate Tekeste in-person
From Academy Award® nominated director Richard E. Robbins and the award-winning producers of The Documentary Group and Vulcan Productions, strategic partner, Intel Corporation, and distribution partners CNN Films and Gathr, comes GIRL RISING - an innovative new feature film about the power of education to change a girl – and the world.
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Liam Neeson, Cate Blanchette, Selena Gomez and other A-list actresses contribute voice performances to the film, which features original music from Academy Award® winner Rachel Portman, in collaboration with Hans Zimmer. The film spotlights unforgettable girls like Sokha, an orphan who rises from the dumps of Cambodia to become a star student and an accomplished dancer; Suma, who composes music to help her endure forced servitude in Nepal and today crusades to free others; and Ruksana, an Indian "pavement-dweller" whose father sacrifices his own basic needs for his daughter's dreams. Each girl is paired with a renowned writer from her native country. Edwidge Danticat, Sooni Taraporevala Aminatta Forna and others tell the girls' stories, each in its style, and all with profound resonance. These girls are each unique, but the obstacles they faced are ubiquitous. Like the 66 million girls around the world who dream of going to school, what Sokha, Suma, Ruksana and the rest want most is to be students: to learn. And now, And now, by sharing their personal journeys, they have become teachers. Watch GIRL RISING, and you will see: One girl with courage is a revolution.

Timber theft is out of control in Kentucky. Just in Eastern Kentucky, recent cases have been reported in Harlan, Pike, Knott, Letcher, Morgan, Rockcastle, Madison and other counties.
Those most often victimized are the elderly and disabled - the ones least able to defend themselves. The expense involved in either civil or criminal cases keeps legal action from being a practical recourse for most victims.

Nice Product, great bundle deal
Reviewed by Mike F. Review Posted 05/01/2014
I purchased one of these with a bundled deal, effectively you got a 1Tb WD Red hard disk for free. Great Value I have sited it under my TV, and have it connected to my network via a 500Mbs Homeplug, works well although obviously not as quick as connecting a network cable directly to it and making use of the Gigabyte network connection. The software allows you access through the internet and has been useful. Lots of useful add ons although I must admit to not really using them. Overall very satisfied although without the bundle deal i.e. £104 (including 1Tb WD red Hard drive) I'm not sure I would have purchased.

no printer support
Reviewed by Ken. Review Posted 29/09/2013
This Nas came bundled with the green 1TB disk, which is not a recommended drive should be the red. other than that it seems to work very well but the documentation is hard work. Only one gripe, I assumed it would act as a print server, but this is not supported in the os6 firmware.

Grent potential, but still a little immature
Reviewed by PeterK. Review Posted 19/11/2013
I was going to write a proper review here, but BT won't let me - there aren't enough characters allowed. Come on BT, this isn't Twitter! Anyway, cutting things short, these new ARM boxes read and write three times faster than the old Sparc-based ReadyNAS, but the new OS has an unfinished feel about it, even at Version 6.1.4. Some original features don't work any more, like support of USB-attached printers and UPS (which now seems to be network-only.) Of course, Netgear may add these facilities eventually, and they have a good history of supporting old ReadyNAS kit, but you do have to buy what you can get now. The new snapshotting file system is brilliant, though, as is the ability to switch from X-Raid to FlexRaid on the fly. The hardware is still as solid as ever and the new tool-free disk trays are very handy. At this price the RN102 is something of a bargain, so as long as you are happy to go with firmware that is basically functional, but a little bit beta, it's a good buy.

Doesn't work as a media server; poor backup firmware
Reviewed by John McClenahan. Review Posted 03/11/2013
This box doesn't do well or at all the things I wanted it for:
1. Replacement backup device for an older NAS
2. Media Server on my home network with access from the Internet.
You can only back up (from the device's interface) existing shares on the computer you want to back up from.
Specify the host computer by IP number, not by name or by browsing the network and shares.
[Browse] button to select the share doesn't work.
Menu selections are non-intuitive, and need you first to select remote:Windows/NAS (Timestamp) or remote:Windows (Archive bit), then type in the share name WITHOUT any preceding / (guess how I know that!)
Firmware comes with links to install a range of media sharing/serving software. None of it works usably even if you succeed in installing it. No image or album thumbnails AT ALL in TVmobili. No album thumbnails in Plex Media Server, and it's incredibly slow.
Spent hours with Tech Support - nothing would work usably for me.

- Ease of use

SPOILER ALERT: Do not read any further if you don't know want to know the stunning plot twist on Sunday's episode of "The Good Wife." ...
"Shots fired in Cook County Courthouse."
Those words, uttered by a petrified Kalinda Sharma (Archie Panjabi), were the first indication that something had gone horribly wrong during Sunday night's episode of "The Good Wife."
Soon, viewers learned that Will Gardner (Josh Charles) was gunned down by his deranged client, Jeffrey Grant (Hunter Parrish), in the middle of a court proceeding. And moments later, a tearful Kalinda and Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) gazed down at his lifeless body on a bloody gurney.
And with that shocking, out-of-nowhere death, one of the show's main stars, and a beloved character, was gone.
Reaction on social media was immediate:
"Experiencing the 5 stages of grief for the death of a TV character. Currently still in "bargaining,'" tweeted one fan.
"I can't handle what just happened on #thegoodwife. I need a support group," wrote another.
The stunning plot twist was one of the TV season's best-kept secrets. Last spring, Josh Charles signed a deal to return to "The Good Wife" for the show's current fifth season, but indicated to executive producers Robert and Michelle King that he was ready to step away from the show when his contract was up.
That gave the Kings and their writers plenty of time to plot Charles' shocking exit, which evoked memories of the sad death blow delivered to Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) on "Downton Abbey."
It has been a season of dramatic narrative upheaval for "The Good Wife," which deployed a major reset when Alicia (Julianna Margulies) left Lockhart Gardner -- a dynamic that put Alicia in direct conflict with Will, her former lover. It will be intriguing to see how the show handles its latest hairpin turn.
After the show aired on the East Coast, the Kings tweeted: "Every moment has been a pleasure. We'll more than miss you."
Charles responded: "The pleasure has been all mine. I've learned so much working with both of you & I'm in awe of your talent & storytelling."

Thursday November 8, 2012
Martinez, Ga--On Saturday more state titles will be handed out, this time in cross country. Look for the Lakeside boys and girls to push for the top prize and bring home a title.
Both squads have been ranked in the top five most of the season and the girls are actually number one in states. There's been ups and downs throughout the season but now the teams have bonded together and are looking to run their best races on Saturday.
"I don't think we've peaked yet. I think in previous years we may have peaked too soon and by state, they were coming down a little bit, but now I think they're ready to peak on Saturday, I'm hoping" said coach Jerry Meitin
"I told these guys at the beginning of the season if we work hard we can do it and I really believe we can do it" said Chase Fowers
"If there is any pressure at all, I think it's a good type of pressure because we know there's a lot expected of us and so you know we really want to pull through and make our coaches proud."
Panthers are now a 5-A school so they avoid rival marist this time around. Doesn't mean the road to the title is any easier, just means the competition will be different saturday in Carrollton.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Coach Dennis Allen viewed the Raiders' game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday as a measuring stick for the progress being made by his team.
The closer-than-it-seemed 24-7 loss to the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium showed Allen and general manager Reggie McKenzie that the Raiders are headed in the right direction, though there still is plenty of work to be done.
"We're close," Raiders safety Charles Woodson said. "But when you play a good football team, they capitalize on the mistakes that you make. That's the reason why they're 6-0."
And it is a big reason the Raiders are 2-4 as they enter their bye week, four games behind the Chiefs and the Denver Broncos in the AFC West.
The Raiders will spend the next several days trying to learn from their uneven play against the Chiefs and probably several more days expelling the bitter taste from their mouths.
The Chiefs feasted on a Raiders team that committed 11 penalties, allowed 10 sacks and served up three interceptions by quarterback Terrelle Pryor.
Most of that negative stuff came after the Raiders jumped to a 7-0 lead late in the second quarter.
The Chiefs soon tied the score, but the Raiders felt as if they controlled the game because of how well their defense played, said Woodson and several of his defensive mates.
The game turned late in the third quarter when Pryor attempted a pass in the face of a blitz, while throwing off his back foot and into heavy traffic. Safety Quintin Demps intercepted the ill-advised pass and returned it 9 yards to the Raiders' 23-yard line. Running back Jamaal Charles scored the second of his two touchdowns four plays later, giving the Chiefs a 14-7 lead with 2:01 left in the third.
It was all Chiefs from there, with Pryor spending most of his time being sacked, harassed and frustrated by a defense he flourished against early on.
Pryor completed seven of his first nine passes for 100 yards and a touchdown for a 150.0 passer rating.
He completed only 11 of his final 25 passes for 116 yards and no touchdowns, with three interceptions the rest of the way and finished with a 45.7 passer rating.
"It's a great learning experience for him," Allen said. "He'll be better for it when he gets put back in this type of environment again, and he'll do a better job."
Pryor accepted responsibility for his mistakes and shifted blame away from his teammates, vowing to use this game as part of his maturation into a starting quarterback.
"You're going to make mistakes," Pryor said. "Understand why it happens. Fix who is at fault, whether it's me or whoever. That's all you can really do. ... We lost the game because of turnovers. They were on me."
Pryor said it is incumbent upon the offense to hold up its end, especially in a game such as this, where the Raiders limited the Chiefs to 216 yards offense and forced quarterback Alex Smith into more incomplete passes than ones caught by his receivers.
The big difference was Smith's ability to remain patient, make just enough plays and avoid turnovers.
"I wouldn't say it's lack of efficiency," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, when asked about Smith completing only 14 of 31 passes. "He's taking care of the football. When it counts, he makes the play.
"I appreciate him. We're winning football games, and he's doing a nice job managing it. Everybody feeds off it on both sides of the ball."
The Chiefs did lose left tackle Branden Albert to a knee injury, but their line was hardly in shambles as was the Raiders' line.
None of the Raiders used injuries or crowd noise as an excuse, however.
"We're disappointed," defensive end Jason Hunter said. "We had a chance to win the game. We played hard. We've just got to find a way to get these wins. You can't make mistakes in a game like this."

Are Smartphones Good Enough?
Cameras and videogame consoles are playing to different markets, but a common threat is taking the game away.
Smartphones, powered by mobile apps and social media, are contributing to a sea change in how people take photos and play games. Facing greater challenges, camera makers like Canon Inc.and traditional videogame players like Nintendo are trying harder to remind consumers of the benefits of using devices dedicated to photo-taking and game-playing.
In the world of photography, smartphones are playing a bigger role as tools for taking everyday snapshots to be shared instantly on social networking sites. Photo-sharing apps like Instagram are also helping to accelerate this trend, along with the improving quality of smartphone cameras.
Still, there are limits to what smartphones can do, said Canon managing director Hideki Ozawa in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. For traveling or recording special moments at weddings and other events, there will always be demand for taking better pictures, he said.
"Smartphones are good for simple snapshots….but especially at night, the pictures turn out to be quite disappointing."
Canon is trying to differentiate its point-and-shoot compact cameras by adding distinctive features that help take better pictures in low light. Single lens reflex, or SLR, models with interchangeable lenses are already Canon's most competitive digital cameras, but those models, particularly popular among professionals and serious amateur photographers, are expected to play even more important roles in the company's strategy for growth.
While camera makers adapt to a new era of mobile gadgets, a similar change is also taking place in the world of videogames. Games played on smartphones are creating a tougher competitive environment for traditional game console makers as they fight for the time and attention of consumers.
For the six months through September, Nintendo reported a net loss of Y28 billion ($340 million) while its revenue declined 6.8% to Y200.99 billion.
President Satoru Iwata said in late October that the proliferation of smartphones and tablets, as well as inexpensive games played on them, was forcing Nintendo to focus on doing things that those devices can't do. Last month, the company launched its new Wii U, which comes with a tablet-like controller that serves as a second screen in addition to a television set.
Despite the changing environment, Nintendo is sticking with the business model of selling dedicated consoles and developing its own game titles — like those in the Super Mario franchise — exclusively for those consoles.

Spotlight Swings to SAC Capital, Steven Cohen
In court documents, U.S. officials on Tuesday made veiled mentions of hedge-fund heavy Steven A. Cohen, the founder of SAC Capital Advisors LP, in an alleged insider-trading scheme they said was the most lucrative ever to be charged.
Mr. Cohen wasn't charged or mentioned by name.
He is referred to as "Portfolio Manager A" in an alleged $276 million insider-trading scheme in a civil complaint filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to people familiar with the matter. Both the civil complaint and a related criminal complaint filed by federal prosecutors refer to him as the "owner" of two hedge-fund affiliates involved in the alleged scheme, and depict him as integrally involved in the allegedly illicit transactions.
"Mr. Cohen and SAC are confident that they have acted appropriately and will continue to cooperate with the government's inquiry," said an SAC spokesman, in an emailed statement on Tuesday.
In recent years, federal authorities have stepped up their scrutiny of Mr. Cohen and SAC Capital. In 2009, federal authorities in the Galleon Group insider-trading case investigated the activities of a former SAC Capital Advisors analyst cited, but not named, in a criminal complaint filed in the case. Neither Mr. Cohen nor SAC Capital were accused of any wrongdoing.
Last year, prosecutors examined trades made in an account overseen by Mr. Cohen that were suggested by two of his former fund managers who have pleaded guilty to insider trading. Again, neither Mr. Cohen nor SAC Capital were accused of wrongdoing.
Congress launched a stock-trading probe into SAC Capital, focused largely on trading by the hedge-fund giant in the options market, another arena where investors wager on the prospects of companies and deals.
Also last year, the SEC opened an investigation into whether SAC Capital traders used inside information to profit from the $15 billion takeover of biotechnology firm MedImmune Inc. in 2007. Again, neither Mr. Cohen nor SAC Capital have been accused of wrongdoing.
Four former employees of SAC Capital or its affiliates have pleaded guilty to criminal charges as part of the government's broad probe into insider trading.
Jon Horvath, a former research analyst at SAC unit Sigma Capital Management, pleaded guilty to criminal charges and is cooperating with prosecutors in an insider-trading case against former Diamondback Capital portfolio manager Todd Newman and Anthony Chiassion, a co-founder of hedge fund Level Global Investors.
Donald Longueuil and Noah Freeman, bother former SAC fund managers, previously pleaded guilty to insider-trading charges. Mr. Freeman was a key witness in the insider-trading trial of Winifred Jiau, a former consultant to California expert-network firm Primary Global Research LLC. Both men cooperated in the government's investigation.
Richard Choo-Beng Lee, a former SAC trader, pleaded guilty and cooperated with prosecutors in the government's probe into the relationship between hedge funds and expert-network firms, which link industry experts with investors for a fee.
For more on the famously secretive Mr. Cohen, check out this 2006 profile by the WSJ's Susan Pulliam. The color in the story is priceless. To wit, this paragraph:
The 20,000-square-foot trading room at SAC Capital Advisors, chilled to 70 degrees to keep traders alert, was hushed. Mr. Cohen, who sits at its center, likes it that way. Phones blink rather than ring. Computer hard drives had been moved off the trading floor to eliminate hum. Rows of traders wearing SAC fleece jackets watched Mr. Cohen nervously, waiting for an order to sell shares.

PARKERSBURG - Melissa Gordon and her family set out to raise $10,000 to give to the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) in her daughter Anna's name.
What they actually raised was close to $25,000. Gordon said her family was overwhelmed by the generosity and outreach of the community.
"We set out to raise $10,000 and raised $22,000 and money is still trickling in," Gordon said of the masquerade ball held to help her daughter fight Friedreich Ataxia (FA), the disease she was diagnosed with during her freshman year of high school.

Parkersburg South High School student Aaron Cronin, left, and Anna Gordon, right, appear in the photo booth at the masquerade ball in Mineral Wells. Cronin released an album that day, sending part of the proceeds to help cure Friedreich Ataxia, the disease with which Anna was diagnosed her freshman year of high school.
"We are shaking some trees for finding the cure and research," she said.
Anna, who is in the Parkersburg South High School class of 2015, has not given in to the disease but wants to do something to help others who are suffering.
The Gordons have been working to raise the money for FARA, a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to curing FA through research, according to the website (www.curefa.org).
FARA was founded by parents and individuals affected by FA in 1998. Since then researchers have made ground-breaking discoveries, officials said.
Jennifer Farmer, executive director of FARA in Downingtown, Pa., said recent studies have shown the gene causing the mutation in FA patients can be identified. She said in 2004 researchers understood enough to have two or three mechanisms but only one or two drugs were in the treatment pipeline.
"We know it's not just a one drug and done," Farmer said. "That's why we have such a diverse treatment approach."
Farmer said researchers have come close in France and Italy to finding the cure for the disease, and research is also being conducted at Ohio State University.
There is a clinical research center at OSU, which is part of the clinical trials doing research on how to measure the disease, knowing what tests to do and people to treat to see if it helps, she said. The Columbus laboratory also conducts cardiac research to understand what goes wrong in the hearts of people with FA; it's not only a neurological disease but the short lifespan is due to cardiomyopathy.
The research team in France has found a way to modify the gene therapy using laboratory mice. Mice born with the mutation generally died at 11 weeks of age but the team has found it can correct the copy of the gene, allowing for the mice to live their normal lifespan without a cardiac disease shortening it. They have learned how to replace the gene to prevent the disease and how to stop the disease in mice born with it, Farmer said.
Melissa Gordon said work being done to help cure FA continues to progress. She is excited with each new discovery.
"So we are very, very optimistic," she said. "This all comes at a great time."
Anna Gordon said her favorite part about the masquerade ball last Saturday night was having the support of her friends.
"It was pretty exciting," she said of the ball held at Woodridge Plantation Golf Club ballroom in Mineral Wells. "Sometimes I can't wear high heels so (Anna and her friends) bedazzeled sneakers."
Melissa Gordon said the event was sold out, with 300 tickets. The golf club donated the room and DaVinci's of Williamstown donated the food. Pepsi and McCrady Jones Insurance also were instrumental in bringing the event, she said.
Anna said she was happy to have her friends wearing what she wore. She gives them a lot of the credit for helping her family accomplish its goal of raising money to help find a cure.
"We got our pictures taken and had silly masks and big lollipops; we took some goofy pictures," Anna said of the masquerade ball.
Parkersburg South student Aaron Cronin wrote and performed a song titled "You're Not Alone" to show Anna how much support she has from her peers. Breyer White helped produce the album, "Original Thoughts," of these songs.
Cronin said the music can be purchased for $10 at McCrady Jones Insurance. He said the inspiration for making the album was to help people, including his friend of two years, Anna.

Editor's note: This is the second part of a two-part series. Visit www.vaildaily.com to read the first installment.
Once a rarity, women winemakers are taking their place in the Piemonte wine industry, particularly in the Langhe and Roero regions. Famous last names previously associated with men are now the brands of women winemakers. Chiara Boschis, of E. Pira e Figli, is one of those women. In 1980, Boschis emerged as the first of her gender in her family's nine generations in Barolo to tend the vines and vinify the noble nebbiolo grape.
Although her father, Franco, purchased Pira in 1980, the splendid 1990 vintage was Chiara's first on her own. She downplays somewhat the significance of the Tre Biccheri the Gambero Rosso awarded her that year saying, "It was a fabulous vintage." True, it was, but she need not be humble about her achievement with that vintage. Four years later, Boschis got her chance to prove she was not a flash in the pan with the release of the 1994 vintage.
In Europe, rain and mud were the hallmarks the second half of 1994. The vintage was branded as poor. Although it gave only two out of five stars to the 1994 Piemontese vintage, Britain's Decanter magazine noted, "Prolonged rain caused serious problems, although a few producers still made good wines." One of those wines was Boschi's cru from the famous Barolo vineyard, Cannubi.
As the winner of the sole Tre Bicchieri awarded in Barolo that year, her 1994 Barolo Cannubi proved she could make great wines even when Mother Nature was cranky.
"Consistency is most important to success," Boschis claims.
Weather can be changeable, but winemakers must always be at the top of their game to achieve consistently high-quality wines. Since 1994, Boschis garnered numerous accolades for her Barolos that exhibit Burgundian-like elegance, finesse and soft tannins, the signature of her wines.
In its 2013 Duemilavini wine guide, the Italian Sommelier Association awarded its highest honor, "Cinque Grapoli" (five bunches), to Boschis' 2008 Barolo Cannubi. So I'd say that now, as she enters her 23rd vintage as the head of Pira, she has proven herself worthy of her winemaking heritage.
Community: 'Essential for survival'
Winemaking generations come and go, but it's the land that remains. And it's the land and all the traditions involving its care that gives Boschis the most joy. She showed her utmost love and respect for nature when she became one of the first in Piemonte to obtain organic certification. No pesticides touch soil or plants on the 16 acres that produce the grapes for her 30,000-bottle annual production. It's something she is immensely proud of, given she lit a fire in Barolo that motivated others to follow her lead in organic viticulture. Today, Boschis lovingly tends her vines with her father, who gained his knowledge from a lifetime of experience, and another agronomist, whom she refers to as "more modern and scientific." It appears she's found the perfect combination of science and tradition.
The culmination of months nurturing the vines is the harvest, or vendemmia. Boschis equates it with happiness, describing the harvest as a "joyous moment when everything comes together after the hard work of the year." The importance of the harvest as a cornerstone in Piemontese culture is something I picked up from each family I interviewed last month. Traditions are the glue that holds families together and is why regional loyalty transcends national pride in a country once comprised of frequently warring principalities. The traditions surrounding the harvest are some of the most enduring - and endearing - of all.
Boschis believes the camaraderie that results from families working together in the vineyards and helping each other in crises is "essential for survival in a place where life can be difficult." In 1994, when her cellar was flooded from a landslide, family and friends throughout Barolo helped her remove the mud. "It's a beautiful thing when people help each other," she sighed, "Now, people sit alone with computers talking with people on the other side of the world, yet don't talk to their neighbors." She makes a good point that neighborly communication is what anchors people to their communities and their homes.
Pairing wine and cheese
In 2007, Boschis and five other winemakers from the Barolo area, two architects and three professionals, took their love of nature and tradition into the high pastures deep in the Valle Grana. Having just completed a vineyard planting in Cape Verde Islands, the group was searching for another "ethical" project. Over dinner, they discovered it: the revival of an alpine village in the commune of Castelmagno, home to the world-famous cheese by the same name, once so famous it was used as a currency.
One of the villages in Castelmagno, Valliera, was virtually abandoned and its centuries-old buildings in decay. Generations of migration to cities in search of better lives all but emptied the region of inhabitants and threatened with extinction a culture of cheese making that dates to 1000.
To preserve it, the group of like-minded friends formed the Societa Agricola Valliera and purchased a run-down farm in Valliera. They set off not merely to build a mountain home but to spark the renaissance of a culture on life support. Their trademark, "Des Martins," is derived from the Martino families that sold them the property.
But SAV's work is not limited to masonry, carpentry and such. Since their first experiments in 2007, they have been making cheese. To make cheese you need cows. The group's herd of Mont Beliarde and Bruna Alpina cows has swelled to 70. More than 60 sheep and goats share the "alpeggio" (high mountain pastures) with the cows. Boschis laughed, saying, "Some people buy expensive cars and go on vacations. I buy cows."
The cows are walked each summer to the alpeggio in a centuries-old procession, the "transumanza," or transhumance, the seasonal migration of livestock and those who tend them. It's another one of those land-centric traditions Boschis dearly loves. The families join together to walk with the cows to their summer home where they will graze on tender grass and flowers, the stuff of great milk to make great cheese.
Two employees tend the cows and "margari" milk them twice daily in the alpeggio, which is about as fresh as one can get. Between June and October, the expert "casaria" uses the milk to make Unique Alpine Valliera, their stepping-stone to the strictly regulated Denomination of Protected Origin Castelmagno cheese. This is a process that even the children enjoy. Chiaras' niece Vittoria Boschis participates in all aspects of the summer activities, including cheese making. It's something that warms Chiara's heart, since educating future generations about this dying culture is one SAV's goals.
There's so much more to tell about the Castelmagno project. But that will have to wait until the summer after I've had my own chance to experience this "ethical project" firsthand. As for Chiara Boschis, her story cannot possibly be told in 2,400 words. Hers and the stories of other "donne di Piemonte" (women of Piemonte) will come in my book later this year.
Correction from last week's story: Boschis studied Latin in high school (liceo) and economics at the University of Torino.

EVANS, Ga. -- Some changes could be coming to your local library.
Right now, five counties make up the East Central Georgia Regional Library System, but Columbia County wants to break from the pack and start its own.
Heidi Lapan spends a lot of time at the Evans library.
"They have a great selection of children's books, so I bring my granddaughters every week to get books," she said.
And Lapan's not alone. The Evans branch is the busiest of the 15 libraries in the East Central Georgia Regional Library System, circulating nearly double what the Richmond County Library sends out.
"I like a real book in my hand and apparently a lot of other people do, too, because it is always busy here, a lot of people here," Lapan said.
The Columbia County Library is now in talks to split from the five-county system and start its own regional system. The library is also in negotiations with Warren and Lincoln counties.
"Nothing's finalized, but it's very close to becoming a reality for the three counties to team up," explained Barry Smith, the Columbia County director of Community and Leisure Services.
The county says it will save taxpayers nearly $130,000 a year.
"Currently, we pay $113,000 to be a member of the East Georgia Regional Library District. We felt that currently we're not getting enough for the money we pay into the region," Smith said.
With membership, collections and delivery fees, the county spends a lot of money to be a part of this system, which is money they could save with the switch.
"I think we're looking out for the citizens of Columbia County," Smith said.
As for the current Augusta headquarters, they would lose about four positions and some state funding with the change.
"I don't think they're real happy about it, but we've got to do what's best for the citizens of this county and the other two counties as well," Smith said.
"We always find great books in there, don't we?" Lapan asked her granddaughters.
She supports the move, "If it's a money-saver for them, that's always a good thing."
The county says the move was suggested and then approved and sanctioned by the state. Instead of sending the funding to the current Augusta headquarters, about $400,000 would go to the Evans location to distribute among the new system.
If the move happens, they will have to announce it by December and it would go into effect next July.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Oct. 11, 2013
WAGENER, S.C. (WRDW) -- In the town of Wagener, video of a traffic stop from last Saturday night has landed an officer and a police department in hot water.
"It's just a good town. Good people. Full of good people," says Mayor Michael Miller.
At the center of the controversy is a town councilman George Smith and his son. The son was driving home from a wedding when Wagener Police Department Officer Dustin Johnson pulled him over for reportedly driving 51 mph in a 30 mph zone. Besides having multiple licenses in his possession, Officer Johnson also assessed that the councilman's son was also Driving Under the Influence.
"As my years of experience as a DUI specialist, you're not able to drive, okay?" he instructs the son and his father, who was also on the scene in front of Wagener-Salley High School. "Like I said, if you wouldn't have been around this area, you know, you would have probably been looking a whole lot worse situation."
Mayor Michael Miller, who admits he wasn't on the scene, sees things differently.
"The gentleman did not appear drunk to me," Miller says. "You know, he may have had red eyes. My eyes are probably red now."
However, possible preferential treatment becomes more questionable after the officer admits he disabled his dash-cam to prevent the incident from being recorded. A field sobriety test was also never administered. However, the officer apparently forgets a small camera on his belt was recording the incident.
"Once I got you out of the car, I did, you know, disable my dash-cam, so you ain't got nothing to worry about," Officer Johnson says in the video to the son and his councilman father.
Miller says the dash-cam was actually turned off well before this stop, and he says favoritism wasn't shown, even though this man just got a warning for speeding. He was allowed to go home with his parents, who drove to the scene.
"Councilman Smith is a good man," says Mayor Miller. "There was no reason for him to, you know, 'Hey, let my kid go!' or anything like that."
On Wednesday, Wagener Police Chief Tom Gray told News 12 his officers use discretion and sometimes give breaks to those who need them. In the same room, Mayor Miller added that bags of marijuana and bottles of liquor are sometimes poured out before simple warnings are written. On Friday, though, the mayor back-tracked.
"I don't mean that happens here in Wagener, exclusively in Wagener, that we dump out barrels of liquor and all that," he says. "I would say that we don't let anybody go that's grossly violating the law."
When asked what constitutes "grossly violating the law," Mayor Miller, again, said it's up to the officer's discretion.
Mayor Miller says that he called the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) on Monday. However, Miller says SLED instructed Wagener Police Department that the issue is a political one. Mayor Miller says SLED has instructed Wagener Police to handle the situation internally.
SLED could not be reached to verify these claims.
Miller says Officer Johnson is still on paid administrative leave. However, both Mayor Miller and Chief Gray have said that Johnson did a good job. Meanwhile, Mayor Miller did say that, if he were an officer, he would have most likely charged the councilman's son with speeding.

Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2013
WAGENER, S.C. (WRDW) -- In the small town of Wagener, rumors are spreading, but a newly released body-camera video contains big answers about a Saturday night traffic stop.
The son of a Wagener councilman was pulled over in front of Wagener-Salley High School for speeding.
"He come through around the corner over there. I locked in on him at 51 in a 30," says Officer Dustin Johnson in the video, which was recorded with a small HD camera on his belt (to view the full video, see below).
Officer Johnson is a new officer with Wagener Police Department. He started with the department back in June.
The recording begins with the driver, who was apparently driving home from a wedding, already out of the car. In the tape, Officer Johnson says the suspect is likely driving under the influence of alcohol. The officer also determine the suspect possesses multiple South Carolina drivers licenses.
"You said you got two or three licenses?" Officer Johnson asks in the recording.
"No, not in the car I don't. In my house I do," the suspect answers.
"Alright, I don't need to hear no more. That's against the law," Johnson says.
Minutes later in the recording, the boy's father, Wagener Councilman George Smith, shows up.
"How are you doing Mr. Smith?" says Officer Johnson in the video as he shakes the councilman's hand.
After doing some paperwork, the officer returns to the councilman and his son.
"As my years of experience as a DUI specialist, you're not able to drive, okay?" Officer Johnson says in the recording. "That's just from looking at you before even having to do anything else. I could tell that in your eyes as soon as you stepped into the light."
Afterwards, Johnson admits he turned off his squad car's dash-cam video recorder, so the incident wouldn't be recorded, apparently forgetting that the body camera he was wearing was still on.
"You know, it's not always about trying to write tickets or trying to put people in jail," responds Wagener Chief Tom Gray in a News 12 interview. "You know, every situation is different."
News 12 asked Chief Gray if favoritism was shown for the son of an elected official.
"Well, in any call or any traffic stop, ultimately, the officer has full discretion in whether to make a charge or not to make a charge," says Chief Gray. "Without a doubt, the situation was justly handled by the officer. He did a good job."
Gray says the video shows that the suspect isn't impaired. He says the suspect's speech is not slurred, and he appears coherent. However, in the video, Officer Johnson mentions that the suspect is intoxicated to some extent twice.
Toward the end of the recording, Officer Johnson even tells the suspect that he likely would have been charged or possibly arrested in another jurisdiction.
"Like I said, if you wouldn't have been around this area, you know, you would have probably been looking a whole lot worse situation," he says in the recording.
But in Wagener, the suspect was given just a warning for speeding. Traveling 21 miles over the speed limit would normally carry a $185 fine and four points on a license.
The video wraps up with Officer Johnson allowing the suspect to be driven home by his family members. The suspect, Officer Johnson, and Councilman Smith all exchange hand-shakes and thank-yous.
"And don't let him catch you no more," says Councilman Smith to his son in the recording.
"That's right. That's right," adds Officer Johnson.
When questioned by News 12, Councilman Smith is adamant that he did nothing wrong.
"When we got there, I told Officer Johnson, I said, 'Will you let him go home?' That's all I said to him," he tells News 12.
"Did you use your political office to influence the outcome?" asks News 12 reporter Chad Mills.
"No sir. But [Officer Johnson] knew who I was," he responds.
Wagener Police Chief Gray verifies that Smith did nothing wrong. In this case, Chief Gray says the officer made the right call by letting the suspect go home with his parents. Chief Gray says the officer never indicated that he felt his job was in jeopardy if he failed to charge or even arrest Smith's son.
Meanwhile, Smith says even though his son was drinking, he wasn't a threat.
"If it would have been your son, I'd have done the same thing," he says. "Here [he] is half a mile from home, [he was] out of the vehicle, [and he was] no danger to nobody."
But will citizens agree that favoritism wasn't shown?
"When an officer is supposed to uphold the law, he's supposed to, at all costs, uphold the law," says Pat Quattlebaum, who is from the Wagener area.
Quattlebaum was on the road that night. She says she actually saw a vehicle with a description matching that of the suspect before the traffic stop. Quattlebaum says that vehicle was approaching speeds of a hundred miles per hour.
Whatever the case, Quattlebaum wonders if she'd get the same treatment as the councilman's son.
"In your opinion, if you were in that situation, you think you'd still be in jail right now," asks reporter Mills.
"Oh, I would have people still digging to pay my bail. I'd go straight to jail. I wouldn't have passed Go," Quattlebaum shoots back.
While Chief Gray says the officer is now on paid administrative leave, he again says his officers show discretion on a case-by-case basis, so he believes this wasn't a case of favoritism.
Before the interview with Chief Gray, Wagener Mayor Michael Miller told News 12 bags of marijuana and bottles of liquor are sometimes poured out and drivers are given simple warnings. Chief Gray doesn't deny it.
"Can you say that there have been other cases where people have been drinking where they were given warnings or let off?" asks Mills.
"Yes," says Chief Gray. "Yes. There has been in my career. Absolutely. And I'm sure other officers with their particular scenario or situation have given breaks to those individuals that need them."
As for Quattlebaum, she'll continue to buckle up and keep her foot off the gas.
"As far as I'm concerned, if I'd go through Wagener right now speeding, I bet you I'd pop a ticket real quick-like," she says.
Meanwhile, News 12 is told that the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) could soon be investigating Wagener Police Department's handling of this case.

Nintendo has been on something of a roll so far this holiday season, releasing a fantastic new Zelda game for the Wii and a triumphant new Mario game for the 3DS.
This coming Sunday, the company will see if it can go three for three, releasing Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS handheld. Most of us already love Mario Kart, but is Mario Kart 7 one of the good ones, or is it an off-year for the franchise? Time to check our guts.
Kirk Hamilton, who still has flashbacks to his Mario Kart 64 addiction and will be reviewing Mario Kart 7 for Kotaku: Mario Kart 7 is a strong continuation of the groundwork Nintendo laid with the deep and multiplayer-friendly Mario Kart DS. It looks terrific, and it plays even better—driving and handling are bouncy and punchy in equal measure, and new elements like underwater racing and hang-gliding, while not revolutionary individually, combine to give the gameplay a personality distinct from its predecessors. Time trials are as addictive as hell and incorporate the 3DS' passive system-to-system streetpass connections in a cool way. The battle modes are goofy and chaotic and offer a nice break from the racing.
But that racing is still where most people will spend their time, and fortunately the racing in Mario Kart 7 is a blast. Online multiplayer is integrated and easy to use, the new maps are crazy and tightly designed, and while I haven't quite gotten a sense of the game's balance, the lineup and duration of each race feels perfect for on-the-go competition. A given race takes about 2-3 minutes, during which time anything could happen—first place can become last place in a heartbeat, and no one's ever out of the running for good.
So: Mario Kart 7 is well-made, great-looking, and mega fun. It brings some low-key new wrinkles to the tradition without losing a drop of what made Mario Kart so enjoyable in the first place. Is it worth picking up? Yes.
After a somnambulant beginning with the 3DS that plainly panicked the company, Nintendo seems to be hitting its stride with the games it's now releasing for the device. Mario Kart 7 strikes me as a kind of no-lose formula, a proven crowd-pleaser that oozes replay value—the baseline expectation of any decent racer. Some may be nonplussed by features such as hang-gliding, but I have a feeling they were brought in to showcase the 3DS' visual capabilities, as Nintendo did so well in Super Mario 3D Land.
Nintendo knew what to remake, knew what to tinker and knew what not to touch in that game, and for that, it's earned the benefit of the doubt with a franchise that means just as much to the company and its loyal fans.
Plus, the course design is crazy. In a good way. I thought driving up a sheer face of a mountain was the highlight, but then I drove this game's wild Rainbow Road. This game is a good upgrade. It's a Yes.

Lumber Company Northwest Hardwoods on the Auction Block
Lumber company Northwest Hardwoods Inc. is on the auction block, according to people familiar with the matter.
American Industrial Partners, the company's private-equity owner, has hired bankers at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to market the firm, the people said.
The Tacoma, Wash.-based lumber manufacturer and seller could fetch around $700 million in a sale, said the people.
American Industrial Partners bought Northwest Hardwoods from Weyerhaeuser in 2011 at a time when the housing and real-estate markets were experiencing turbulence.
A deal could come at a time when lumber and home improvement companies are benefiting from the housing recovery. In its most recent earnings release, Lumber Liquidators Holdings's chief executive said the company had record high net sales.
Northwest Hardwoods manufactures a number of species of lumber including oak, maple, cherry and walnut, according the company's website. The wood is then sold to customers and used to make kitchen cabinets, hardwood flooring, furniture, boat interiors and other products, its website says.

Satchel Gets 3 Years Probation for Social Security Theft
Published: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 11:56 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 11:56 a.m.
Former Mulberry City Manager Frank Satchel Jr. was sentenced to three years probation Friday in federal court for stealing Social Security payments that were intended for his cousin, who had died.
U.S. District Judge Mary Scriven placed him on house arrest for the first six months of his probation, mandating that he wear an electronic monitor during that time.
The court also ordered that Satchel, a 64-year-old retired educator, pay $41,859 in restitution, representing the amount he actually took from the bank account he shared with his deceased cousin, Willie Baldwin.
Baldwin died in November 1999, but her Social Security payments continued until December 2010. Satchel pleaded guilty last fall to stealing that money.
During Friday's sentencing hearing, Satchel told the judge he was sorry for what he had done.
"I'm remorseful about what happened," he said. "I personally guarantee that that is not becoming of me and will not happen again."
Satchel declined comment after the hearing.
Satchel faced up to 10 years in prison for theft of government funds. Federal sentencing guidelines recommended that he serve from six months to a year in prison.
In sentencing him to probation, Scriven said Satchel had lived a "stellar" life up to this point, and a sentence of probation fell within the federal sentencing guidelines in this case.
Satchel was fired from his job as Mulberry city manager last May after he was arrested on unrelated charges of forgery and official misconduct by investigators with the State Attorney's Office in Bartow.
Investigators alleged he altered employee time cards after they 'd been submitted and paid. Those charges are still pending in Polk County Circuit Court.

Saturday, Jan. 14 • 7 p.m. CST
American Bank Center (8,100) • Corpus Christi, Texas
CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team is looking to snap a four-game losing streak and claim their first Southland Conference win of the season Saturday, Jan. 14 against Southeastern Louisiana University at the American Bank Center.
The Islanders sit at 4-11 and 0-2 in the SLC and are looking to snap a string of 18 conference losses dating back to last season. The Islanders last home conference win came on March 3, 2010 against Lamar. The Islanders stumbled in their conference home opener Jan. 11 against UTSA, falling 58-38 and lost to McNeese State on the road, 66-51 to open conference play on Jan. 7.
The Islanders are 3-3 all-time against Southeastern Louisiana and have dropped three of the last four against the Lady Lions, including two of the three at home.
Southeastern Louisiana comes into the contest with a 5-9 record and are also looking for their first conference win. The Lady Lions have been selected to finish last in the Southland Conference East Division after finishing with a record of 13-16 last season and 5-11 (5th, SLC). Saturday's game will be the seventh meeting between the two schools.
• The Islanders are averaging 59.2 points per game and 45.1 rebounds per game.
• Texas A&M - Corpus Christi are outshooting their opponents from behind the arc .277 percent (64-231) to .263 (83-316). The Islanders are shooting .288 from the field in conference play.
• The Islanders have dropped four straight and sixth of their last seven.
• Coach Robinson has used five different starting lineups this season.
• Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will face UTA and Sam Houston State next week.
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team took the early lead, but saw it quickly evaporate as the UTSA Roadrunners notched their first Southland Conference win of the season, 58-38, on Wednesday night at the American Bank Center.
Brandi Huff led the Islanders with eight points off the bench and Myeisha Myles pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds. Imani Dunn and Damequia Montgomery added five points each.
Southeastern Louisiana heads into Saturday's game with a 5-9 overall record, 0-1 in conference play and sits at 0-5 on the road. The Lady Lions have dropped five of their last six games.
The Lady Lions are returning to action after a bye week. In their conference home opener, Southeastern Louisiana fell to Stephen F. Austin 69-61 on Saturday, Jan. 11. Last season the Lady Lions finished 5-11 in the SLC.
This season, the Lady Lions have victories over Centenary College, Jackson State, Mobile, Spring Hill College and New Orleans. On the season, Southeastern Louisiana averages 63.1 points, shoots .392 from the floor (334-of-851), .214 percent (42-of-196) from three-point range and .685 (174-of-254) from the line.
Individually, the Lady Lions are led by Aja Gibson with 12.1 points per game and is second in rebounds with 6.9 a game. Kelli Jenkins is second on the team in points with 9.4 points per game and Brandi Simmons leads the Lady Lions with 8.1 rebounds per game.
Saturday's game will mark the seventh meeting between the two schools with the two teams each claiming three wins apiece. Southeastern Louisiana has won the last three out of four, including two of the three on the road.
The last time the two teams met up was at Southeastern Louisiana on Jan. 15, 2011. The Lady Lions sealed an 80-73 victory. Jessica Jammer scored nine points and pulled down seven rebounds in 27 minutes of play and Taryn Gregory added six points in three steals in a career-high 37 minutes. The Islanders won the year before on Feb. 24 at Southeastern Louisiana. Myeisha Myles tallied 12 points in the Islanders 75-67 win.
This season the Islanders have depth on their roster, something they have lacked in the past. This season, the Islanders bench has outscored their opponents' bench 310-286. Junior Alisa Roberts leads the bench with 6.7 points per game and freshman Trish Amboree is second with 6.3 points per game.
The Islanders are outrebounding their opponents 677-667 with an average of 45.1 rebounds per game. The Islanders are leading the conference with 29.2 defensive rebounds a game.
Myeisha Myles is leading the team on the glass with 7.6 rebounds per game, which is good for ninth place in the conference. Jessica Jammer is second with 6.4 rebounds per game (15th SLC), while Damequia Montgomery is third on the team with 5.7. The Islanders have been a force on the defensive end, tallying 438 rebounds to their opponent's 423. Jammer and Myles have combined for a total of 132 defensive rebounds.
The Islanders sit in fifth-place in the conference with 3.5 blocks per game. Myeisha Myles, Jessica Jammer and Damequia Montgomery are three of the top shot blockers in the league. Myles leads the way in ninth place with 1.0 a game, Jammer is 10th (0.9) and Montgomery is 12th (0.8).
