BARLOW -"It never rains on the Barlow Fair" is a tongue-in-cheek quote heard every year at Ohio's oldest independent agricultural exhibition.
But that phrase held true for the fair that ran Thursday through Sunday this year.
"It's been several years since we've had four days without rain - the weather was beautiful all weekend, and I think we're close to record attendance," Joe Campbell, president of the Barlow Fair Board, said Sunday.

As usual Saturday brought the largest crowd with plenty of animal judging and entertainment.
"But Thursday night the midway was really packed," Campbell added. "This was the first year we opened the midway amusement rides to everyone, no matter what their age. In the past it was limited to ages 13 and under."
Fair board treasurer Maggie Hearn agreed the free rides on Thursday evening helped boost the attendance numbers.
"We had at least 1,200 people, not counting kids 6 years old and younger," she said. "We haven't done as well in total attendance since 2007, and there was a huge crowd Saturday in spite of local football games. And we had 60 vendors who participated this year."
Campbell said an estimated 6,000 people had passed through the fair gates Thursday through Saturday, which, at $5 a ticket, translated to around $30,000 in the first three days alone.
"It's a family event, and we don't charge a lot," he said. "We just hope to make enough money to pay for our maintenance costs and some extra for needed improvements."
Proceeds from this year's event will go toward a new public address system and upgrades to the cattle barn, Campbell said.
Tractor or horse pulls held each day of the fair draw some big crowds, he said, noting Saturday's draft horse pull brought more than 200 people.
"Chicken" Pugh, 81, has been the official tractor pull announcer at the Barlow Fair for years.
"I've been doing this for 59 years now - started back in 1954," he said. "And this year's pulls have been well-attended. We've had 20 to 40 tractors in every event."
Pugh said the contestants are mainly local farmers from Washington and Morgan counties.
Rachael Boyer, of Barlow, is one of the few females who enjoy participating in the annual tractor pulls.
"I got into it because of my husband (B.J. Boyer)," she said. "His mom also pulls in first class, and his dad, cousins and uncles also do tractor pulls."
Boyer said it's great fun.
"There's all this weight you pull with a little tractor that weighs maybe 500 pounds," she said. "But the sled you're pulling may weigh 12,000 pounds."
Just down the hill nearly 40 youngsters were particpating in their own "pedal tractor pull," another favorite at the Barlow Fair.
Warren Township resident Dean Mason's children, Devon, 2, and McKensie, 4, were among Sunday's entrants.
"I did this when I was young - about the same age," Dean said.
The pedal tractor pull was apparently an inspiration, as Dean now participates in the regular tractor pulls and won the 11,000 pound tug pull this weekend.
"And I can honestly say I have been to the Barlow Fair all of my life," he added. "Today's my birthday. My mom and dad were attending the fair the weekend I was born. They left on a Saturday night and I was born Sunday morning."

The Sierra Sands Unified School Board of Education voted 6-0 Thursday to approve the Advancement Via Individual Determination implementation agreement for AVID Membership, materials and training.
Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Shirley Kennedy said the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as well as the principles of Common Core place major emphasis upon professional development and the use of validated research-based programs and strategies in order to improve student achievement and facilitate college readiness.
"AVID's mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing students for college readiness and success in a global society," she said. "It is designed to increase school-wide learning and performance."
She said Sierra Sands has been participating in the AVID program for the past four years at Burroughs High School, James Monroe Middle School and Murray Middle School with excellent results. "Implementation of this program includes membership and license fees per school site, summer institute fees and registration, and district director professional learning services," Kennedy said.
She said 37 people will attend the summer institute in August.
"Included in this group are district project teachers who will attend this year's summer institute so that they may facilitate embedding AVID strategies in district collaborations thereby benefitting students from these research-based practices," said Kennedy.
The cost of the contract is for $31,586 for all services, and funding will come from Economic Impact Aid/Limited-English proficient funding.

Emerging infectious diseases can be defined as infectious diseases that have newly appeared in a population or have existed but are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range, or that are caused by one of the NIAID Category A, B, or C priority pathogens.
The NIAID Emerging Infectious Diseases/Pathogens category includes Biodefense Research and Additional Emerging Infectious Diseases/Pathogens.
NIAID's pathogen priority list is periodically reviewed and is subject to revision in conjunction with our federal partners, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which determines threat assessments, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is responsible for responding to emerging pathogen threats in the United States.
Category A pathogens are those organisms/biological agents that pose the highest risk to national security and public health because they
Category B pathogens are the second highest priority organisms/biological agents. They
Category C pathogens are the third highest priority and include emerging pathogens that could be engineered for mass dissemination in the future because of
Immunology studies that advance our understanding of host defenses applicable to the biodefense effort, for example

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - He cast himself as a "Fish Outta Water" on his solo album, but Chali 2na has proven himself a star-kissed talent adept at navigating the treacherous currents of hip-hop's headwaters.
The MC who emerged from the south side of Chicago up through the Los Angeles underground, where he played a key role in the formation of two groundbreaking hip-hop groups, Chali 2na made his way upstream to Snowmass, where he will headline the Snowmass Summer of Free Music series concert Aug. 16. The concert is the last of the 2012 series.
Chali 2na now can boast a resume as distinct as his booming baritone, as a founding member of both seminal Left Coast hip-hop collective Jurassic 5 and the free-form salsa-funk outfit Ozomatli, as well as a
solo act, actor and visual artist.
"I want to free people's asses and let their minds follow," the rapper said on his website. "To not be preachy but to make them aware of what I'm about. I want to enlighten, but I ain't trying to be a bumper sticker, either."
He might not want to be a bumper sticker, but he probably could design one, with a message to boot: Charles Stewart grew up on the south side of Chicago, where he traces his roots as an artist to spraying graffiti and listening to the blues. When he was young, he moved to the equally mean streets of south central Los Angeles, where his grandmother raised him in accordance with Muslim traditions. In high school, he met Lucas McFadden, who would rise to fame as a DJ with the stage name Cut Chemist; Chali 2na's own nickname is a reference to StarKist's mascot, a tuna with a distinct voice of its own.
Along with Mark 7even and four other artists, Chali 2na and Cut Chemist formed the Unity Committee, which often would spend Thursday nights performing at the legendary Good Life Cafe, where the rapper honed his skills as a battle rapper. In 1995, the Unity Committee's friendly rivalry with the three-member Rebels of Rhythm culminated in a 12-inch single, "Unified Rebelution." That collaboration in turn spawned J5 when two members of the latter group, Zaakir and Akil, joined forces with Chali 2na, Mark 7even and DJs Cut Chemist and Nu-Mark. Jurassic 5 debuted with its eponymous EP two years later.
Around the same time, Ozomatli (which also plays Aug. 16, at Belly Up in Aspen), was taking shape in Los Angeles and San Diego behind the core of trumpet player Asdru Sierra, vocalist and multi-instrumentalists Raul Pacheco and Ulises Bella, percussionists Justin Poree and Jiro Yamaguchi, and bassist Wil-dog Abers. Chali 2na and Cut Chemist joined the band as founding members and figured prominently on its self-titled 1998 debut. (Around the same time, Ozomatli also debuted on the silver screen, providing the musical backdrop for Drew Barrymore's adventures with "cumbia cake" in the 1999 movie "Never Been Kissed.")
While Chali 2na is no longer with the band, he continues to record projects with the band and with his successor in Ozomatli, Kanetic Source. Jurassic 5 released its self-titled, full-length debut in December 1998, made a critical splash with "Quality Control" in 2000 and peaked commercially with "Power in Numbers" (No. 15 on the Billboard 200) in 2002 before disbanding in 2007.
As a solo artist, Chali 2na has collaborated with the likes of Mos Def, Lyrics Born and a host of international artists. He debuted in 2004 with "Fish Market," an official mix tape.
That solo album followed in 2009. It features a variety of influences covering a wide spectrum of influences and collaborators, from reggae royalty Damian "Jr. Gong" and Stephen Marley to dancehall toaster Beanie Man, Roots producer Scott Storch and soul singer Anthony Hamilton.
"I wanted this album to expose who I am as an artist," Chali 2na says on his website. "The majority of people know me from Jurassic 5 and Ozo, but I felt like nobody knew me as an artist.
"I want to show you all facets of who I am: man, husband, brother, father, son, painter."

The challenge is over for me. So - I missed a day - I think it was last Thursday or something. Then I skipped Saturday…and Sunday. I was (am) sick, and I've got an, um, issue that is making riding a little less than pleasant right now. I didn't ride today, and I won't for another 2-3 as I drag my family across the globe to Australia. Once I'm settled there, it's GAME ON! I found a great resource for cycling in and around Brisbane. I'll be riding my new bike (pictures coming) and keeping BikeHugger in the loop on all the cool things I see during the adventure.
If you want to make a difference on bicycle transportation issues in the state of Georgia, a big chance comes up next weekend.
It's the second "Georgia Rides to the Capitol" event, with the mayors of three suburban cities (Decatur, Marietta, and Roswell) joining Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin on rides to the state capitol in Atlanta. Distances range from 5 miles (Decatur) to 21 miles (Roswell) one-way.
The rides are timed to arrive at the Capitol around 11:40 a.m. on Tuesday, March 6. Police will escort the rides inbound but not outbound.
Maps and cue sheets are available, and the first 2,000 riders to register will be provided lunch and entered in a drawing for a VIP pass to the Atlanta stage of the Tour de Georgia in April.
In honor of the Oscars, WashCycle offers a Top 10 Bike Movies list. We all know what's at the top of the list, but this list offers some good variety, and a couple of films I've never seen. And I'm a sucker for the line "Still includes best method for proving one is in Texas."
Also, any movie list that includes Better Off Dead rocks, by definition.

Commission to discuss term limits for Alabama legislators
Published: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 4:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 4:33 p.m.
MONTGOMERY | The Alabama Constitutional Revision Commission will discuss legislative term limits next week.
The commission is scheduled to meet in the Alabama State House at 10 a.m. on Dec. 3 to consider recommended changes to several articles of the Constitution. The meeting agenda includes the legislative article and articles on ethics, separation of powers and representation.
A public comment period is scheduled on local government issues including home rule.
"This time, we hear from the public what they want to talk about," commission subcommittee chairman Matt Lembke said Tuesday.
In 2011, the state Senate created the joint committee to consider article-by-article rewrites of the constitution. Several articles have been presented to and changed by voters already.
The commission's final two meetings are Dec. 14 and Jan. 11, when a final report to the Legislature should be approved. The 2013 legislative session begins Feb. 5.
"It's my understanding that we're going to present three articles we've worked on this year prior to the beginning of the regular session," Lembke said.
Lembke said the subcommittee originally recommended not to revive a discussion of term limits, but commission members Becky Gerritson, a Wetumpka tea party leader, and Rep. Patricia Todd, D-Birmingham, supported term limits.
"Sen. (Bryan) Taylor expressed his view that term limits should be included," Lembke said of the Prattville Republican. "The subcommittee did not come to a final decision because we wanted to hear from legislators who are ex-officio members."
Lembke said he believes that voters should decide when to end the term of a legislator.
Todd said voters should be allowed to vote on term limits.
"It should not be up to us," she said.
"I believe you can stay too long because it is easy after a while," she said. "You need new blood." She said various plans call for limiting lawmakers to three, four of five terms
Todd is in her second term and said she plans to run for a third in 2014.
The 12-member committee also will consider a minimum age for legislators, changing the length of legislative sessions and changing when legislators take office.
The current age minimum for a House member is 21 and 25 for a state senator. There has been discussion about lowering the minimum age to 18, which is also the minimum voting age, but Lembke said the subcommittee recommends keeping the current age minimums.
Legislative sessions can last no longer than 30 working days within 105 calendar days but the commission has been looking at alternative timetables.
The subcommittee also is studying whether legislative terms should continue to begin the day after the general election as they do now. Lembke said one of the arguments was that the official vote isn't even known then.
Suggested alternatives include waiting a month after the election or having legislators take office in early January.
"That will be changed," Lembke said. "It doesn't make sense having people take office after the election when the results have not been certified."
The commission's agenda in 2013 includes reviewing the declaration of rights, the executive department and the education articles. In 2014, the commission's charge is to review articles on impeachments, exemptions and miscellaneous issues.
Taxation was specifically excluded as a topic for review in the resolution.

A liver transplant is a surgical procedure to remove a diseased liver and replace it with a healthy liver from a donor. Most liver transplant operations use livers from deceased donors, though a liver may also come from a living donor.
The number of people waiting for new livers is much larger than the number of available livers, so liver transplant is reserved for people who are critically ill. Some people receive a liver transplant right away, while others spend many months waiting for a liver transplant.
Liver transplant is a treatment option for people who have end-stage liver failure that can't be controlled using other treatments and for some people with liver cancer. Liver failure can occur rapidly, in a matter of weeks (acute liver failure), or it can occur slowly over months and years (chronic liver failure).
Liver failure has many causes, including:
Liver transplant surgery carries a risk of significant complications, including:
After a liver transplant, you'll take medications for the rest of your life to help prevent your body from rejecting the donated liver. These medications can cause a variety of side effects, including:
If you have chronic liver failure, your doctor may refer you to a transplant center to undergo evaluation for liver transplant. The transplant center team conducts a wide variety of tests and procedures to determine whether to place your name on the waiting list for a new liver.
Tests, procedures and consultations you may undergo include:
Once these tests and consultations are completed, the transplant center's selection committee meets to discuss your case. It determines whether a liver transplant is the best treatment for you and whether you're healthy enough to undergo a transplant. If the answer to both questions is yes, then you're placed on the transplant waiting list.
Doctors use results of liver function tests and other factors to determine your prognosis and your place on the transplant waiting list. Your prognosis is sometimes called your Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score. The higher your MELD score, the more dire your situation. Organs are allocated based on MELD scores. People with higher MELD scores generally are offered donated livers first. MELD scores range from 6 to 40.
Some liver conditions, such as liver cancer, may not result in a person getting a high MELD score. The transplant center can request additional MELD points for people with specific diseases if they meet defined criteria.
Your wait for a donor liver could be days, or it could be months. Or a donor liver that's a good match for you might not become available.
As you wait for a new liver, your doctor will treat the complications of your liver failure to make you as comfortable as possible. Complications of end-stage liver failure are serious, and you may be frequently hospitalized. If your liver deteriorates, your MELD score is updated.
A small percentage of liver transplants are completed each year using a portion of a liver from a living donor. If you have a family member or friend who is willing to donate part of his or her liver to you, talk to your transplant team about this option.
Living-donor transplants have good results, just like transplants using livers from deceased donors. But fewer living transplants are performed because of restrictions on the donor's age, size and health that make finding a good match difficult. The surgery carries significant risks for the donor. Your transplant team can discuss the risks with you and the potential donor.
If you're notified that a liver from a deceased donor is available, you'll be asked to come to the hospital immediately. Your health care team will admit you to the hospital, and you'll undergo an exam to make sure you're healthy enough for the surgery.
Liver transplant surgery is done using general anesthesia, so you'll be unaware during the procedure.
The transplant surgeon makes a long incision across your abdomen to access your liver. The location and size of your incision varies according to your surgeon's approach and your own anatomy.
The surgeon disconnects your liver's blood supply and the bile ducts and then removes the diseased liver. The donor liver is then placed in your body, and blood vessels and bile ducts are reattached. Surgery can take up to 12 hours, depending on your situation.
Once your new liver is in place, the surgeon uses stitches and staples to close the surgical incision. You're then taken to the intensive care unit to begin recovery.
If you're receiving a liver transplant from a living donor, such as a friend or family member, surgeons will transplant a portion of the donor's liver in your body. Surgeons first operate on the donor, removing the portion of the liver for transplant. Then surgeons remove your diseased liver and place the donated liver portion in your body. They then connect your blood vessels and bile ducts to the new liver.
The transplanted liver portion in your body and the portion left behind in the donor's body regenerate rapidly.
After your liver transplant, you can expect to:
Expect six months to a year of recovery before you'll feel fully healed after your liver transplant surgery. You may be able to resume normal activities or go back to work a few months after surgery. How long it takes you to recover may depend on how ill you were before your liver transplant.
Your chances of a successful liver transplant and long-term survival depend on your particular situation. In general, about 72 percent of people who undergo liver transplant live for at least five years. That means that for every 100 people who receive a liver transplant for any reason, about 72 will live for five years and 28 will die within five years.
People who receive a liver from a living donor have higher survival rates because having a living donor usually means a shorter wait for a liver. For liver transplants using living donors, the five-year survival rate is about 78 percent. That means that for every 100 people who receive a liver transplant using a living donor, 78 will live for five years and 22 will die within five years.

He waits for you, his tattered cloak draped over his gaunt frame, holding a scythe, ready to harvest your soul.
Let your players fear Death with this figurine, and, of course, memento mori.

Kristianna & Squire$7.49
Let's face it: a lot of the miniatures we sell here at Game Master Dice are sexist. The big, strong, powerful figures are usually male, and the slinky, graceful ones baring their midriffs are usually female. This unequal treatment in the fantasy kingdom has gone on for too long! That's where Kristianna comes in.

You see, Kristianna is a strong, powerful, confident woman. In fact—and I hope the feminists really appreciate this feature—she even comes with a male assistant, a squire who holds her helmet for her while she's too busy being important and giving orders to hold it herself. How's that for the glass ceiling?

It's summertime. I can tell because there's nothing good on TV. All my favorite shows are "on hiatus," leaving me to surf through 500 channels in search of something decent to watch.
I miss "The Walking Dead." I'm dying to find out how many more zombies it's going to take to end the human population. And "Bates Motel." I want to check in and never check out. Talk about good television!
But now that summer is here, all we're offered is "reality" TV. If I wanted reality, I'd turn off the TV. When did all of this fake "reality" start? I suppose we could blame "Candid Camera." Remember that old show with Allen Funt, where unsuspecting people make fools of themselves in awkward situations in front of millions of viewers? Today you can see all the candid camera videos you want on YouTube -- even videos of yourself. Just do something stupid and the guy next to you will capture it on his cellphone, download it to the Internet and, before you can change your name and move to the Yukon, you're famous and everyone in the world has laughed at you.
At least on today's reality TV shows, people know they're being filmed. And apparently they don't mind appearing idiotic in front of a camera. There's something for everyone's reality taste. If you're into food, you can watch a bunch of bumbling chefs get yelled at on "Hell's Kitchen." Then you'll feel like a gourmet chef when you can't even boil a pickle.
I once tuned into "Sister Wives" by accident, thinking it was about a support group for married women. But no. Some guy has managed to trick half a dozen females into marrying him and doing his laundry. On the other hand, if there was a show called "Brother Husbands," I might participate. I'd love a bunch of hot male models doing my laundry.
My husband prefers manly shows, like "Ice Road Truckers," "Road Rage Warriors," and "Fast and Furious Smart Cars." He eats up episodes of "The Deadliest Catch," "The Scariest Shark" and "The Really Mad Cat." He'd even try out for shows like the "Glee Project" and "So You Think You Can Dance" if he could sing and dance. But his favorite is "Pawn Stars." He's dying to see how much he could get for his pre-1980 recliner.
I was once asked to appear on "Hoarders: Buried Alive" show. I made the mistake of writing a column about my messy house, and the TV people called me up and left a message. I would have called them back, but I couldn't find my phone under all the junk at the time.
I suppose I'd consider doing "Who Wants to Marry a Bazillionaire," (I don't qualify for "The Bachelorette" ... yet), but I might be better cast in "Super Grandma: 911," "The Disney Shopping Network" or "The Writer Whisperer." I'd also qualify for "Cat Dynasty" (we have three) or "Honey I Have a Boo-Boo" (where all my medical issues could be quickly diagnosed and treated.)
Never mind. I'll just film my own family reality show, put it on YouTube, then wait for the fame and fortune to pour in. It worked for the Kardashians. Why not the Warners? We're much more real.

What if school districts believed that students could use what they're learning in the classroom to solve real-world problems? And they made space for students and teachers to do that?
That's the question that underlies the National Youth Leadership Council's (NYLC) partnership with the UPS Foundation and three pilot districts across the United States. At NYLC, we work to mobilize young people in service to their communities and schools – not just as an after-school volunteer activity, but as a strategic, engaging part of their classroom experience. This process is called service-learning, and it can have powerful effects on learning, social development, and civic involvement throughout adulthood.

Family of Driver Beaten in Confrontation With Motorcyclists Speaks Out
By Sarah Armaghan
The family of the 33-year-old Range Rover driver who was chased through Manhattan and beaten by a group of motorcyclists said in a statement issued Thursday that the SUV driver was justified in hitting some of the riders with his vehicle because he feared for his family's life.
Alexian Lien allegedly struck motorcyclist Christopher Cruz, 28, during an altercation on the West Side Highway Sunday when the biker slowed down in front of his SUV. All of the vehicles came to a full stop on the highway, and motorcyclists surrounded Mr. Lien's car. He accelerated away, hitting biker Edwin Mieses, 32, who has been hospitalized and may be paralyzed, his family has said. That set off a high-speed chase that resulted in Mr. Lien's alleged assault in front of his wife and 2-year-old daughter.
Portions of the incident were caught on a video camera affixed to the helmet of one of the motorcycle riders. The footage was later uploaded to YouTube.
"Our plan last Sunday was to celebrate our wedding anniversary by having a nice family day out with our two-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, instead, we were placed in grave danger by a mob of reckless and violent motorcyclists," read the Lien family statement, released by lawyer Frank Panetta of Massimo & Panetta P.C.
"Our sympathies go out to the injured motorcyclist and his family. However, we were faced with a life-threatening situation, and my husband was forced under the circumstances to take the actions that he did in order to protect the lives of our entire family," the statement continued.
Mr. Lien pulled off the highway at 178th Street and was forced to come to a stop at a red light between Wadsworth and St. Nicholas avenues because his tires had been slashed, police have said. A motorcyclist, who police released a photograph of on Wednesday, is seen in the video taking off his helmet and smashing in the SUV's driver-side window. Mr. Lien was then beaten, suffering two black eyes and lacerations to his face and torso, police have said.
"Our fear for our lives was confirmed when the incident ended with the ruthless and brutal attack on my husband, me, and, most importantly, our two-year-old child. We know in our hearts that we could not have done anything differently, and we believe that anyone faced with this sort of grave danger would have taken the same course of action in order to protect their family," the Lien family statement said.

"We would like to thank the brave citizens who risked their own safety to intervene on our behalf. They truly helped save our lives and prevented my husband from suffering further injury. We also appreciate and are moved by the outpouring of love and support so many have expressed here in New York and around the country," the statement concluded.
On Wednesday, police released the photos of two motorcyclists wanted in connection with the assault.

WACO (November 13, 2012)-An online petition is taking the Internet and social media websites by storm.
On Nov. 9, just days after the general election, a petition was filed on the White House website asking that Texas be allowed to secede from the United States.
Many Central Texans have already signed the petition.
As of 9:30 p.m. Tuesday evening, the petition had 89,540 signatures.
It only needs 25,000 to warrant a response from President Obama.
And even though it's illegal to secede from the union would it even be a good idea for the Lone Star State?
Baylor Professor Mike Parrish says "No."
"Secession is impossible in this day and age," Parrish said.
"Not only is it illegal, it makes no sense whatsoever."
Secession didn't bode well for America during the Civil War.
Regardless, disgruntled Texans are asking for it nearly 150 years later.
"The conditions were entirely different in the 1860's," Parrish said.
"I don't think the stakes are nearly as high today when it comes to talk about secession."
Many think since Texas began as an independent nation in 1836, it reserves the right to secede from the U.S.
But when Texas was annexed by the U.S. in 1845, it never reserved the right and after the Civil War couldn't have legally exercised it in any event.
But what if Texas were to secede from the U.S.?
Here are just a few of the consequences that would come with secession:
-Texas would have to create its own military.
-All federal spending sent to Texas would be cut. This includes everything given for schools, hospitals, highways, etc.
-Texas would have to create its own currency and national banking system.
-Texas would have to regulate trade and commerce with other countries.
-The Texas Legislature would likely have to act as Congress.
Parrish says this all is too much for Texas to handle.
"Creating a nation is not that easy. We'd have to tax more, undertake more responsibility, and I don't think Texas citizens would be willing or able to do all of those things," Parrish said.
President Obama has yet to comment about the petition. But Gov. Rick Perry, who sounded as if he might favor secession last year, has already said he won't support the petition.

|2008 Inductee (Baseball 1948-1951/Basketball 1948-1951)
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi has named former University of Corpus Christi (UCC) basketball and baseball player, George Kemp, as a 2008 inductee into the Athletic Hall of Honor.
George Kemp was born on August 13, 1929 in Houston, Texas. Kemp was a two sport athlete during his time at UCC representing the Tarpon baseball and basketball teams from 1948-1951. He was a member of the celebrated 1949 UCC Tarpon basketball team which ended the season with a 25-1 record including wins over then NCAA powerhouses Oklahoma City and Southwest Texas State University.
As part of the well-rounded education Kemp received at UCC, he also was active in the University Choral which was directed at the time by Frank Ing. Kemp graduated from UCC in 1951 and spent the next several years continuing his pursuit of education earning a master's degree and his Ph.D. from the University of North Texas in 1961. In 1968-1969 he did a post-doctoral sabbatical at the Yale Medical School and the Gesell Institute of Child Development at New Haven, Connecticut.
Kemp's long and extremely successful career in higher education began at Kansas State University where he taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology. After a few years in the heartland, higher education took the Kemp family to Louisiana where George served as a professor of psychology, chairman of Educational Psychology and as a member of the Graduate Council at Northwestern State University from 1962-1970. Kemp's success at Northwestern State opened up yet another door. He spent the next 27 years at Louisiana State University-Shreveport (LSU-Shreveport) serving as chairman of the Graduate Council, a role in which he researched and authored the Constitution an Bylaws of the graduate school.
In addition to his academic leadership, Kemp served as the Director of the LSU-Shreveport Campus Beautification Project from 1984-2000. In 2000, he and his wife Rita and their children Bradley and his wife Rocio and Dr. Kevin and Mrs. Kelly Kemp Graves endowed the future care of the Campus Forest and the University Chime System which the family presented as a tribute to George's mother Grace Hudgins Kemp in 1982.
Dr. Kemp is a Fellow of the Kansas Psychological Association and is a licensed psychologist in Louisiana. He was extremely active in his profession, serving as president of the Louisiana Psychological Association. He was appointed by the governor to a five-year term as a member and elected as Chairman of the Louisiana State Board of Examiners of Psychologists. Kemp is the only psychologist ever to have been elected as president of the Louisiana Academy of Sciences. In 1978 he was elected from Louisiana-Arkansas to a five-year team as a member of the Governing Council of the American Psychological Association. He also served a five-year term as a member of chair of the Committee of Competent Authority in the Assessment of Special Education Children of the Louisiana Board of Education.
Kemp has received numerous honors and accolades during his outstanding career. When asked about his most cherished honor, Kemp mentioned the Lifetime Professional Accomplishment Award he received from the Louisiana Psychological Association in 1996. He is also very proud of being named Professor and Administrator of the University Emeritus by LSU-Shreveport during the 1997 commencement ceremony at which time he received a spontaneous standing ovation by the faculty, administration, and students.
Kemp and his wife Rita reside in Shreveport. Kemp's son Bradley, wife Rocio and son Allen live in Akron, Ohio where he serves as Senior Manager of International Trade-Customs Clearance with FedEx. His older son Bradley Sterling Kemp, Jr. is presently serving in the U.S. Army in Iraq. Their daughter Kelly and her husband Dr. Kevin Graves live in Dallas, Texas where he is a practicing Cardiologist and she is active in Junior League.

Today, CNN announced that it has acquired Zite. I wanted to take a moment to express personally how excited I am that Zite is joining the CNN family. Zite's technology is in my humble opinion best in class, bettered only by the quality of the people behind it.
One of the things that made Zite so attractive to us is the fact that it is so well-loved by its current users. Through this acquisition, our goal is to help get Zite in the hands of more people. CNN's mobile apps have been downloaded more than 12 million times worldwide, and the prospect of introducing Zite to this global audience is really exciting.
We see a trend developing here, one that is about the future of content discovery, and we believe that increasingly people will come to learn about new types of content based as much upon their personal interests and passions as they do the news of the day.
Zite will continue on its current path of being the product that so many of you love today. And it's my hope that this new chapter will only make it better, faster and used by more people.
-KC Estenson, GM of CNN Digital

The first loss of Joe Frazier's career was one of the most crushing defeats ever suffered by a reigning heavyweight champion.
His shocking second-round knockout to George Foreman in Kingston, Jamaica on Jan. 22, 1973, was the cover story to the April '73 issue of THE RING, which is represented here as part of RingTV.com's ongoing tribute to Frazier.
Despite the brutally one-sided nature of the bout, Frazier's dogged determination and willingness to get up from each knockdown (six in all) earned it THE RING's Fight of the Year honors for 1973.

Since February, work has been halted at the site. The was caused by a delay in tax credits and the approval of a new lease agreement between the city and the developer. By a 3-to-1 one vote, the city council approved a new lease Saturday.
'I'm just so happy to seeing it because I know what conditions the officers have worked under and I'm happy to see it for them,' says Chief Lee Shelbourn.
The new building will be a far cry from the old building, which has been plagued with air conditioning problems, among other things.
'l love it; I really do,' says city council president, Barbara Henson.
Although it took some time, Henson says establishing a new lease agreement that met the approval of both the city and the developer was a good move. Ultimately, she says the new agreement will help the city.
'It was fine tuned to make things better for the city. It was maybe 30 or 40 pages and at least a third of them had some changes in regard to the end of the lease. That's what we really were concerned about and I think it will be beneficial to the city. There were no great things that were added in there, but little bitty things that just made it better for us,' says Henson.
Unlike City Hall, which had several delays before completion, city officials say they are optimistic that work on the new police department will wrap up within the next six to seven months.
'I think they will and bear in mind that City Hall was under state and federal guidelines for historic places and this is definitely not a historic place,' says Henson.
If the work stays on schedule the new police department is expected to open in December. It will be located in the old Cowboy Maloney's building on 22nd Avenue.

OS: Mac OSX 10.6.4
QCAD: 220.127.116.11 (Demo)
I have downloaded the demo version to try out, and whether I am trying to print to printer (Epson PX700W, latest drivers) or PDF, QCAD initially brings up a dialog saying either 'Processing Page' or 'Printing Page', then crashes with no explanation. I originally thought this was a general problem with the application, but then discovered that it only seems to apply with imported DXF drawings. However, the imported drawing has been saved as a native QCAD DXF. Any ideas?
Thanks, Andrew

In response to interim Superintendent John Stewart's letter ["Our Thoughts, Hearts Go Out Sandy Hook Community While We Focus on Preparedness," Dec. 20], thank you so much for the typical response-to-tragedy lip service we have come to expect from the Polk County School Board.
As a former elementary school teacher (10 years with the Polk County School Board), I, for one, know that policies and procedures are only as effective as the follow through at school level allows them to be. It saddens me to know that there are schools within the county and across the nation that do not consistently adhere to the safety procedures that have been put into place to protect our students and staff members.
Not until all administrators are held accountable for their own actions, as well as the actions of their teachers and staff, will our schools be the "safe and nurturing environments" that have been promised for our "most treasured gifts."
I would encourage parents and caregivers nationwide to visit their children's schools as soon as possible to see what procedures are in place to keep the students safe. How much difficulty do you have in gaining access to the school campus itself? Are the doors locked, or could you enter a classroom in the blink of an eye? Are there security personnel onsite, or were they relieved of their duties upon serving the day after a horrible national tragedy? These questions need to be asked, and our schools need to provide answers.

Video: Gilberto Ramirez media workout, Bob Arum interview
Super middleweight contender Gilberto Ramirez faces Derek Edwards on truTV on Friday. Bob Arum says we could see Ramirez one day fight GGG and Andre Ward.
Super middleweight contender Gilberto Ramirez faces Derek Edwards on truTV on Friday. Bob Arum says we could see Ramirez one day fight GGG and Andre Ward.
Fans share their thoughts on the Wladimir Klitschko-Bryant Jennings heavyweight title bout and the future of the heavyweight division, more feedback on Ruslan Provodnikov's bold stand against Lucas Matthysse, plus opinions on recent news and other boxing subjects and mythical matchups, in this week's Friday mailbag. Enjoy!
Carl Froch has two options according to Andre Ward: "He has to rematch [George] Groves or try to avenge his loss to me."
Sergio Martinez on defending his middleweight title against Miguel Cotto: "I'm very interested in the fight, but I'm the champion and Cotto is the challenger. I would love to fight Cotto, but I need to be treated with dignity."
RING super middleweight champion Andre Ward has filed suit against promoter Dan Goossen in an attempt to gain freedom from what he views as an unfairly lengthy contract.
WBO featherweight title holder Orlando Salido will defend his belt against Ukrainian Olympic gold medalist Vasyl Lomachenko on March 1 in San Antonio.
Miguel Cotto is considering a confirmed package of at least $10 million from Golden Boy Promotions to face Canelo Alvarez, but a widely-reported offer of $15 million to fight middleweight champ Sergio Martinez is unconfirmed.
Mikey Garcia could make the first defense of his WBO junior lightweight belt on Jan. 25 against Juan Carlos Burgos. WBO lightweight titleholder Ricky Burns and his mandatory contender, Terence Crawford, could fight on the same card.
Junior featherweightweight contender Scott Quigg and middleweight veteran Andy Lee won by second-round knockouts, while lightweight standout Anthony Crolla notched a six-round stoppage on the Carl Froch-George Groves undercard on Saturday.
Middleweight champion Sergio Martinez is the subject of a documentary that has been submitted to several film festivals, according to his advisors.
Manny Pacquiao was asked for a urine sample on Wednesday morning in Macau as part of the random drug testing procedures being carried out by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association.
Andre Ward and Edwin Rodriguez are a combined 50-0 with 30 knockouts heading into their clash on Saturday, but whether or not they are in the same league is another question.
Promoters Bob Arum and Artie Pelullo have put Juan Carlos Burgos on a very short list of possible options for Mikey Garcia's first defense of the 130-pound belt he won on Saturday.
Gennady Golovkin will return on Feb. 1 in Monaco against an opponent to be determined — not Martin Murray, as rumored — according to his promoter, Tom Loeffler.
Bob Arum told RingTV.com that a return bout between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Bryan Vera could happen on March 1 in either Texas or Las Vegas. The Top Rank CEO also said that he woudl like to match Nonito Donaire with undefeated featherwieght puncher Nicholas Walters.
Vic Darchinyan on Nonito Donaire: "I'm going to come and expose him and show to all of the world that I can beat him, and not only just beat him, but I can beat him easily."
Newly crowned IBF junior middleweight titleholder Carlos Molina on a potential fight with former champ Canelo Alvarez: "I'm not happy with just having the title, I want to defend it successfully, and get all of the title belts. Fighting somebody like Canelo would help me to do that."
It appears that someone will be getting knocked out during Saturday's middleweight clash between WBA titleholder Gennady Golovkin and Curtis Stevens.

Ruslan Provodnikov's mother traveled from Russia for what is both her first trip to the U.S. and the first time she will be ringside to watch her son as he battles Mike Alvarado on Saturday.

HDX MS is used to study a protein's structural dynamics and conformational changes. [© Alexander Raths - Fotolia.com]
This Expert Tips is brought to you by Waters.
Hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX MS) is gaining recognition for is influential place within the analytical toolbox for the insights it provides to biotherapeutic characterization. HDX MS is used to study a protein's structural dynamics and conformational changes, a component of understanding a protein's higher order structure.
Information about protein conformation from an HDX MS study can be used to compare a control with an analyte by measuring the relative amount of deuteration uptake (mass increase) as a function of time. HDX MS is capable of monitoring domain interaction, localized protein breathing, and folding or unfolding in the solution phase.
An HDX MS experiment can be broken into three main stages: deuterium labeling, mass analysis, and data processing. Detailed here are the steps involved in executing HDX MS analysis using the Waters nanoACQUITY UPLC System with HDX Technology, which is designed to facilitate an HDX MS protocol to improve confidence and ensure reproducibility and reliability in managing these experiments.

CDC: New version of stomach bug causing US illness
Published: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 1:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 1:06 p.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials say a new strain of stomach bug that's sweeping the globe is taking over in the U.S.
In the last four months, more than 140 outbreaks in the U.S. have been caused by the new Sydney strain of norovirus. These kinds of contagious bugs cause bouts of diarrhea and vomiting.
The new strain may not be unusually dangerous; some scientists don't think it is. But it is different, and many people might not be able to fight off its gut-wrenching effects.
It often spreads in places like schools, cruise ships and nursing homes. The new strain was blamed for a recent outbreak on the Queen Mary 2.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on the new strain Thursday.

Fairline maintained the look of the Squadron line in the 42's styling, albeit in a compact package. Large deckhouse windows flood the saloon with light; hullside windows provide at least a little daylight to the cabins too.
A Chip Off the Old…
With an extra-large flybridge, wide side decks and a spacious cockpit, the Squadron 42 maintains the yachting philosophy of her larger sisters. Two transom gates, one on either side of a reversible bench seat, make for easy passage onto the swim platform, where Fairline engineers have created an optional cantilevered launch and retrieval system for the tender. (A jet-drive RIB will be ideal here; the company recommends a Williams 285.) We haven't seen this system ourselves yet, but given Fairline's reputation for finicky design and engineering, we're confident it will function as advertised. But it's an option, so folks who don't need a tender can choose to keep a conventional swim platform.
The Squadron 42 is so new the company hasn't released actual photos yet. But this rendering of the optional launch system for the tender gives an idea how it works. Carrying a useful tender on a boat this size is problematic, but this arrangement should make it a lot easier. The mechanicals are concealed when the tender is afloat.
She's Built Tough
Since day one, Fairline has been known for building rugged boats and the Squadron 42 continues the practice, from the outside in: Two layers of gelcoat are brushed, not sprayed, into the mold before the first layer of fiberglass is laminated. Extra gelcoat means a more durable finish, and one that's easier to repair when the inevitable dings and scratches appear. After layup is complete, Fairline also gelcoats the inside of the hull – the smooth finish is easier to clean, and resists water absorption in the bilges.
When the tender's gone, there's no sign of the launching gear. We'd like the radar mast to be a little bit taller, to keep the pulses farther above our head when we're standing, or even sitting, on the flybridge.
The laminate proper is alternate layers of hand-laid unidirectional fabric and woven roving, using isophthalic resin to protect against osmosis, important in areas where the boat will stay overboard all year. Polyurethane foam coring stiffens the deck; integrally molded engine stringers support the bottom. A liner is bonded to the hull, then the hull and deck are both bolted and bonded to create a strong almost-monocoque structure. Bulkheads are carefully hand-fitted, then fiberglassed into place. The result is a boat with a minimum of squeaks and rattles, and one that will be as happy in the boisterous waters of the North Sea as in the balmy Mediterranean.
To keep the saloon open and airy, Fairline designers utilized large cabin windows and an open-plan galley – it's "down," on the lower deck, but situated near the stairway from above and separated from the saloon by only a glass partition. The galley has all the equipment required aboard a boat of this type, but can be fitted out with options to make it even more chef-friendly.
The saloon has a convertible dinette and room for extra chairs or other furniture, too. The helm seats two. The galley, on the lower deck, is open above, keeping it bright, airy and pleasant for the cook.
The galley, midships to port, is easier to see on this lower-deck plan. It appears to have plenty of counter space and enough mod-cons to keep most cooks happy. The master stateroom, forward, centers around what Fairline calls a "semi-floating" double bed. The guest cabin can be easily converted from single berths to a double. There are two en-suite heads.
There's nothing fancy about the Squadron 42's powerplant – no pods, but conventional straight-shaft diesels. Power options are twin Volvo-Penta D6 EVC Shaft diesels, tuned to either 370- or 435-hp, or twin Caterpillar C7 ACERTS, 460-hp each. Fairline predicts speeds from 28 to 31 knots, depending on power.
Here's something unusual: While each Squadron is a-building, its engines are sitting on their rubber mounts on the shop floor. This "breaks in" the mounts, compressing them before the engines are installed, and makes realignment after a few hours of operation unnecessary. If you've ever bought a boat that started vibrating from shaft misalignment even before the new-boat smell was gone, you'll appreciate this touch.
On deck, the Squadron 42 is what we expect: A comfy sunpad, wide side decks, high rails and first-class fittings.
We don't have pricing info on this boat yet, but based on previous Fairlines we predict it will be at the high end, but not the highest end of boats in its class. Quality costs money – there's no way around it. But in the case of Fairline you also get what you pay for. Should you be looking for a first-rate flybridge cruiser in this size range, you ought to check out the new Squadron 42. There are a lot of fine boats in this segment of the market, though, so we think you should look at many of them before making a choice. It will also give you an excuse to visit lots of boat shows.

I am not uptight over the issue, but I respect the need to use correct terms. Most professionals and weapons experts know the true definitions, so here's my shot at helping to educate new shooters.
You can see the differences between clips and magazines in this picture (Click on picture to enlarge). I own this picture. Please feel free to use and share this picture as long as you state where you got it from with a link.
From left to right: AR15 magazine, .223/5.56 stripper clip, Glock 22 magazine, SKS stripper clip, Ruger 10/22 "banana" magazine, M1 Garand en bloc clip.
From left to right: AR15 magazine, .223/5.56 stripper clip, Glock 22 magazine, SKS stripper clip, Ruger 10/22 "banana" magazine, M1 Garand en bloc clip.
A magazine is what is used to feed the weapon itself, whereas a clip is used to feed the magazine. Clips make loading of magazines much easier and faster, and in some cases, a clip is required in order for the magazine to work (e.g. M1 Garand).
Some magazines are removable (like in the case of all of the magazines pictured above), and depending on the design of the gun, it can have a fixed magazine. Most SKS's, bolt actions, shotguns, and Garands have fixed magazines.
In the case of "stripper clips", you simply "strip" the rounds off of the clip and into the magazine. In the case of the "en bloc" clip used by the M1 Garand, you simply place the clip into the fixed magazine and the clip stays in the mag as the weapon fires.
It is speculated that the confusion and misuse of the terms came about in the world of guns when troops who used the M1 Garand in the US Military started using other firearms and continued to used the term "clip" when referring to what was actually a magazine.
Whatever the reason for the incorrect use of the term, it's there and it is often misused by many new shooters, the media and also anti-gunners.
Another term that is often misused is the term "bullet". Many people use that term to refer to the complete round/cartridge.
The bullet is simply the projectile that is fired from the weapon, and only 1 of 4 parts that a round of ammunition truly consists of (which includes the case, powder, and the primer).
Hopefully you found this information useful. People who misuse these terms come off as not having a very good understanding of firearms, how they work, and often times part are the anti-gun crowd.
