Ottawa-centered earthquake felt in Erie (Updated: 1:35 p.m.)
Conversation exploded on social media this morning right before 10 a.m. when Erie residents felt the ground moving underneath their feet.
"My house was rolling," said Maria McCaffrey Firkaly, of Meadville, on the GoErie Facebook page. "Watched the water in the fishbowl wave up and down."
The National Earthquake Information Center reported an earthquake occurred at 9:43 a.m. centered just 45 miles northwest of Ottawa near Shawville, Canada. The earthquake initially registered 5.0 on the Richter scale, but the National Earthquake Information Center revised that number to 4.4 shortly after it struck.
It was a shallow quake at just 6.09 miles deep, according to the National Earthquake Information Center.
A measurable aftershock was also reported, registering 3.6 on the Richter scale, said John Bellini, geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center in Denver. The aftershock was also shallow, reported at 3 miles deep.
"It's possible there were other smaller aftershocks, but that's the only one that registered," Bellini said. "With a 4.4, you'll have a few aftershocks in the next few days or a week or so."
After the earth moves like it did this morning, it has to get back into place, causing the aftershocks.
"When you have a larger shake, it's got to settle down," Bellini said.
No damage or injuries were reported.
The quake was felt across New York and Pennsylvania, with several Erie-area residents saying they felt it too.
Maria McCaffrey Firkaly, who was in Meadville, said she definitely felt the quake.
"My co-workers thought I was nutso," she said.
Anne S. Hickok, in Edinboro, said she didn't feel it but her daughter told her things were rattling on her shelves in Washington Township. Nicole Wienczkowski said she felt the earth shake in Union City. Dozens of others gave their locations and affirmed they felt the ground move.
Carol Langdon said she was asleep when the shaking woke her up.
"Just dozed off and it woke me up," Langdon said. "I live over by 21st and Raspberry (streets). I even called my daughter's house when it happened to ask if they felt anything strange."
Another geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center, Carrieann Bedwell, said calls were pouring into the office from across New York and Pennsylvania after it happened.
Bellini said a quake at this level does not happen often in the Northeast, though the Ottawa-area is considered a fairly active seismic zone.
"It's pretty rare," he said. "It's only once every other year or so that something large enough to register happens."
The Associated Press said local media outlets in northern New York have reported people in communities along the St. Lawrence River and as far east as Lake Champlain on New York-Vermont border reported feeling their homes shake.
There are also reports from residents of Buffalo and surrounding suburbs who say they felt their houses sway and the ground shake for less than one minute. Rochester and Syracuse media outlets also report that the quake was felt in those areas.
Earthquakes aren't often felt in Erie. A 5.2-magnitude quake centered in Mercer County on Sept. 25, 1998, is among the most notable recent quakes. Minor damage was reported to homes around Sharon.
Since Erie isn't close to any larger plate boundaries, the city rarely feels an earthquake.
"The cities that get a lot of earthquakes are normally on or near plate boundaries," Bellini said. "That's why your area doesn't get a lot of action."

Best chair!
After my son was born, I had a lot of trouble breast feeding. I was in a lot of pain and could never get comfortable which made things much worse. It wasn't until I got this chair that things got better. It's fantastic!! I also recommend the ottoman.

But now she's ready to muse about what might lie ahead for her, as she begins a new chapter in her life.
"Acceptance. Confidence. Sense of humor. Ability to take charge. I'm always so in charge, I'd like someone else to take charge," she says in the December issue of Health regarding what she's looking for in a new romantic partner.
"And it's not that easy. I'm not that easy a person to take charge of. I don't want anyone to take charge of my business," Frankel, 43, says. "I want someone to take charge of my personal life."
But the talk-show host seems skeptical that everything will fall into place smoothly.
"I don't think you can have it all at once. It's hard to have a career and a personal life and a love life and a sex life. If it happens, I'll let you know!"
So instead of chasing after romance, Frankel is taking time to reflect and get to know herself.
"Recently I'm trying to find my identity again," she says. "I'm figuring out who I am in this new life. So I'll take my dog and go for walks along the river. I'll walk and do something mindless. It's good."

Mike Veeck, who is credited with helping revitalize Minor League Baseball with his "Fun Is Good" marketing approach, will be one of nine new members in the Florida State League's 2013 Hall of Fame class when the league holds their induction ceremony on Nov. 12 at the Plaza Resort and Spa in Daytona Beach.
Veeck joined The Goldklang Group in November of 1989 and immediately energized the Florida State League. Creating numerous promotions meant to entertain fans and enhance the ballpark experience, Veeck joined the Miracle as the team's president in 1990.
Then located in Pompano Beach, Veeck was intimately involved in the transition to Fort Myers prior to the 1992 season.
With a vision for fun at Hammond Stadium and a mission to take care of every fan, Veeck's legacy remains a strong part of the Miracle operating philosophy. In 2005, Veeck was recognized as one of the 25 most influential people in baseball over the last quarter-century. He has advised several companies and has been profiled in stories on "60 Minutes" and in numerous magazines.
A third-generation baseball executive and team owner, Veeck was the innovator behind the infamous Disco Demolition Night while working for his father, Bill Veeck, and the Chicago White Sox in 1979. Veeck has worked in marketing positions with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Florida Marlins and Detroit Tigers.
Veeck authored the book "Fun is Good: How to Create Joy and Passion in Your Workplace," which describes how this simple philosophy leads to success in any business.
A part owner in a number of Minor League Baseball teams, Veeck resides in Mount Pleasant with his wife, Libby.
An inductee as an executive, Veeck is joined in the 2013 Florida State Hall of Fame class by Ron Myers from the Lakeland Flying Tigers. Players in this year's class include Al Nipper, Ramon Martinez, Jimmy Rollins and David Wright. Current Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter and Detroit Tigers Minor League Field Coordinator Bill Dancy along with MLB umpire Jerry Layne will also be part of the ceremonies as inductees.
Veeck joins principal owner of the Fort Myers Miracle, Marv Goldklang, in the Florida State League Hall of Fame. Goldklang was inducted in 2010 and serves as the chairman of The Goldklang Group.
The Goldklang Group owns and operates four minor league baseball franchises: the Fort Myers Miracle, Charleston RiverDogs, St. Paul Saints, Hudson Valley Renegades, as well as the Futures Collegiate Baseball League Pittsfield Suns.
He was enshrined in the South Atlantic League Hall of Fame in 2006.
"Mike has been my partner and friend for nearly 25 years and deserves the credit for much, if not most, of what we've been fortunate enough to achieve in Ft. Myers over the years," said Goldklang. "He is most deserving of this very special honor."

When the baseball playoffs roll around, most high school coaches say postseason success boils down to pitching and defense.
Pinewood Prep coach Phil Tobin concurs. He should know — his team won the SCISA Class AAA state championship a year ago.
"This is a different team than last year," Tobin said. "Maybe we do benefit some because of our experience, but it comes down to the basics. If we go out and make the plays we're capable of, and throw strikes like we're capable of, we'll be all right."
That wasn't the case at the beginning of the season. The Panthers made 10 errors in a doubleheader loss to Wilson Hall in their season opener. They struggled at times in the ultra-competitive Hanahan Invitational Tournament. Then they reeled off five straight victories. But Pinewood dropped the regular season finale to Northwood Academy, a team they beat 17-3 in mid-March.
"We knew our record wouldn't be gaudy because of the schedule I put together," said Tobin, whose team is 13-7. "But it was geared to getting us ready for the playoffs. Once again, it was just a matter of making the plays and throwing the strikes."
The Panthers should be even stronger in the playoffs with the return of J.D. Waite, who suffered an Achilles' tendon injury in the preseason and missed most of the regular season. He's pitched in three games and is now in midseason form as the team's No. 1 pitcher and No. 4 hitter.
"He's pitched in so many big games for us," Tobin said. "He just has so much confidence on the mound and the players behind him play more relaxed because he's in control. That's the key in the playoffs, to be relaxed. He just doesn't get flustered."
Pinewood Prep is seeking its third state title since 2009.
Port City signings
Two basketball players from the Port City Sports Academy signed to play college basketball.
D'Quann Grant, who played at Hanahan, signed with USC Salkehatchie. Khalil Stewart, from Durham, N.C., signed with Brunswick Community College in North Carolina.
Baseball statistics
The Post and Courier will publish baseball statistics Friday on the PrepZone Page. Coaches are asked to provide leaders in all offensive and pitching categories. Stats should be submitted by noon Thursday. Email stats to email@example.com.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
I am an English major with minors in Anthropology and Spanish who will graduate in the spring of 2013. While my academic life is on the hectic side most days, I am also a Prefect in St. Benedict Hall, a Barista at the Gristmill Coffeehouse, and an English tutor. In addition, I also work for the SVC Visiting Writers Series, a program that brings an international writer and a poet to campus each year giving the SVC community a chance to interact with contemporary writers. In my spare time, I serve as President to Sigma Tau Delta (the honor society for English majors) and Advisor to Alpha Lambda Delta (the honor society for students who excelled their first semester of college.) I also participate in Phi Sigma Iota (the honor society for students studying foreign languages) and the English Club, among other clubs.
Looking back on my short time here at Saint Vincent, I have come to love the community in general. I remember as a freshman being completely lost for the first months. I had the air of a tourist (and probably also had the look of one as well,) but I always felt like I everyone was looking out for me. From my Big (an orientation member assigned to guide me during my first semester) and Prefect to my advisor, Fr. Wulfstan, and my teachers, I always had someone to answer my questions and guide me in the right direction. And even today, two and half years after I arrived her, I have an amazing network of friends and mentors on campus that continues to grow. Even on my worst days, I always know that I am never alone, which is a definite plus to this small campus.
As an upperclassman, I have taken classes throughout each of the schools in order to fulfill the core requirement, and I have had amazing experiences with almost every single professor that I have taken. Some of my favorite professors that I have taken include Dr. McMahon, Dr. Bennett, Dr. Lindey, and Dr. Johnson. All of them brought something new to the table when I took their classes, and each one taught me something that I never expected to learn in their classroom. But Ms. Gil-Montero, the professor of the creative writing classes, has definitely influenced me the most during my time here. I came to Saint Vincent College with a faint idea of what I wanted to do, but no real plans or clear goals. I was an English major because I enjoyed my English classes in high school and loved reading. But Ms. Gil-Montero (or MGM as her students enjoy calling her) took me under her wing, providing me with amazing classroom experiences and offered me a position at the Visiting Writers Series, a position that has given me more amazing opportunities than I can count. And in all of her classes that I have taken with her including her introductory courses such as Intro to Creating Writing and both of her Reading as Writers, as well as her advanced workshop courses such as Poetry and Literary Translation, I was forced to expand my horizons and give up any preconceived notions I had about any particular genre. MGM taught me to think outside of the box and to always search for innovation, particularly in my writing. Under her tutelage, I have learned so much about myself and about the world around me, and I am extremely grateful to her for everything that she has taught me.
Don't try to mold yourself into what you think a college student is "supposed to be." Keep your mind open to new ideas. Challenge yourself daily to try new things. Put yourself in foreign situations. Let yourself grow into a "real" college student, whatever that might mean for you.

Astaxanthin, the latest dietary supplement in health food trends, has been touted by nutritionists and media as one of the most powerful antioxidants to reach health food store shelves in years. It is 550 times more powerful than Vitamin E and a thousand times more powerful than Vitamin C, experts say.
"It's a phenomenally beneficial supplement in that it is one of the most potent natural anti-inflammatories that we know of," said Dr. Joseph Mercola when he appeared on the nationally televised "Dr. Oz Show" two years ago. A proper dose of astaxanthin - about 10 milligrams a day - can be used to prevent cardiovascular diseases, arthritis and cataracts, he added.
But what is it and where does it come from?

The old acrylic domes used by Fuji Chemical were costly, bulky and hard to clean, making them more susceptible to contamination. These are no longer in use and will be removed within the next two years.
The Maui News / EILEEN CHAO photo
Brad Reeves, chief executive manager of Maui Tropical Algae Farm, stands next to a 120-liter bag of algae in "the green stage." Green algae is kept indoors under low light levels for up to two weeks.
The Maui News / EILEEN CHAO photo
Reeves produces his own carbon dioxide, which is used to feed the algae, by distilling it from sugar cane. "We're pretty much making rum," said Reeves. One pound of alcohol produces 19 pounds of carbon dioxide.
The Maui News / EILEEN CHAO photo
The red stage, when algae is taken outside and left in direct sunlight for up to 20 days, is crucial to astaxanthin production. The algae turns red as it produces astaxanthin as a defense mechanism against the stress of intense sunlight.
The Maui News / EILEEN CHAO photo
In its most primitive form, it is algae, and it's being farmed on Maui.
Brad Reeves is the chief executive manager of Maui Tropical Algae Farm, a small facility on 21 acres in the Kihei Tech Park behind the Kihei Wastewater Reclamation Facility. The property was previously owned by Fuji Chemical, which was growing the same type of algae, Haematococcus pluvialis, from which astaxanthin is extracted.
However, Fuji shut down its operations in 2010 when it was unable to sequester contamination in its algae domes, according to Reeves.
Reeves purchased the property in 2011 and has been working on growing algae in a way that is safer, more cost-efficient and better for the environment, he said.
Instead of growing algae in domes, which are hard to clean and more susceptible to contamination, the Maui Tropical Algae Farm uses large, 120-liter bags made of polypropylene, or plastic. Then, if one bag gets contaminated, workers are able to remove the contaminated bag instead of losing the entire batch, Reeves said.
That's not all. The algae farm strives to be "an off-grid operation," with little to no waste. The farm recycles old plastic bags and water, makes its own carbon dioxide from local sugar cane, and runs off solar energy harvested from photovoltaic panels located on the property.
"We're the only algae farm in the world that is 100 percent carbon-neutral and petroleum-free," said Reeves, who has more than 30 years of experience in renewable energy technologies. "Nobody else in the world is growing algae like we are."
By using renewable energy technologies, Reeves has been able to cut energy costs and energy consumption by 95 percent, he said.
The process is simple. It starts in the lab, where algae is cultivated in petri dishes. It is then transferred to the nursery, or the green stage, where the algae is put into large bags, hung from the ceiling and kept indoors under low-light levels for up to two weeks. All the while, the bags are being pumped with a steady stream of carbon dioxide, which Reeves makes in-house by distilling it from sugar cane he buys on island.
"We're pretty much making rum," Reeves said with a chuckle. One pound of alcohol produces 19 pounds of carbon dioxide, he added.
After the green stage, the bags of algae are transferred outdoors for up to 20 days, when the algae starts to turn red. The algae produces astaxanthin as a protective mechanism against the environmental stress caused by intense sunlight. The algae is then harvested and dried.
Reeves and his staff are still experimenting with the process, but he expects to be growing and selling his algae, wholesale, by the end of 2014, he said. He estimates that the farm will be able to produce about 10,000 kilos of algae each year. Commercially, the algae can fetch up to $12,000 per kilo.
Kailua-Kona's Cyanotech Corp. is one of the largest producers of astaxanthin in the world.
Last year, the company sold about $16 million in astaxanthin products, according to company spokesman Bruce Russell.
"Demand for (astaxanthin) is growing steadily in the U.S. and worldwide as more studies demonstrate its value for human health," Russell said.
Cyanotech has discussed buying "Haematococcus biomass" from Maui Tropical Algae Farm in the future, once the farm is fully operational, according to Gerry Cysewski, Cyanotech's chief science officer.
"We are waiting for them to achieve commercial production levels and wish them well," Cysewski said in an email.
On Maui, astaxanthin gel capsules can be found, under various brands like Bioacitin, at most health food stores like Down to Earth, Mana Foods, Hawaiian Moons, and even larger retailers like Whole Foods and Walmart.
"We feel good we're growing products that are going to be improving people's health, and doing it using resources on Maui," said Kathleen Murphy, business manager for Maui Tropical Algae Farm.

Stetson University women soccer coach Julie Orlowski has left her position as head coach.
Having just completed her 12th season at Stetson, Orlowski resigned to pursue other opportunities.
Orlowski was named the Hatters second head women's soccer coach on July 20, 2001, and compiled an overall record of a 126-153-23. Her teams reached the Atlantic Sun Tournament each year from 2003-10 and advanced to the A-Sun title match in 2006. The 2012 team finished with a disappointing record of 3-13-1.
During her tenure, Orlowski coached 28 all-conference performers, including 11 first team, eight second team and nine All-Freshmen team members. She also helped produce the league's Defensive Player of the Year (twice), Freshman Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year (twice).
The Hatters were also successful off the field under Orlowski, earning six CoSIDA Academic All-Region selections, four NSCAA All-Academic selections as well as public recognition from the NCAA for the program's outstanding Academic Performance Rate.
Orlowski coached countless Academic All-Conference performers and routinely placed more than 75 percent of her roster on that prestigious list.
A 1991 graduate of Florida International University (B.A., Mass Communication), Orlowski came to Stetson following one season as an assistant coach at the University of South Florida. Prior to her stint at USF, Orlowski compiled a 39-54-4 record in six seasons as a collegiate head coach, with stops at St. Thomas, North Florida and Boise State.
Orlowski holds a United States Soccer Federation "B" License. She is a state coach for the Florida Youth Soccer Association and has served as an Olympic Development Program instructor and is currently a member of the NCAA National Advisory Committee.
Stetson will launch a national search for a new coach for the women's soccer program immediately.

Dr. William D. Yarbrough spent a high school summer working as a hospital orderly in Anderson, his hometown, and enjoyed caring for patients so much he decided to become a doctor. Dr. Yarbrough now serves as Trident Health's medical director for cardiovascular services in addition to his daily work as a cardiologist, which includes responding to emergency heart attack cases with the cardiac catheterization lab team. He also helped lead efforts to streamline heart attack response so each patient's artery could be unclogged as quickly as possible, typically within 54 minutes of arriving at Trident Medical Center. "If you can improve a system, you can make it better, overall, for the future," says Dr. Yarbrough, who is now working on systematic changes to better address the chronic condition of heart failure.

Dos Santos on Wlad: "...I Could Knock Him Out."
(Ran into this article on ESPN.com. Thought some here might find it interesting.)
UFC champ makes bold statement
(Associated Press)
BURBANK, Calif. -- If Junior dos Santos ever ended up in the same ring as Wladimir Klitschko, the UFC's heavyweight champion is pretty sure he knows what he'd do to the biggest man in boxing.
"I could beat that guy, man," dos Santos said. "Maybe not easy, but I could knock him out."
It's not bravado or comedy from the unbeaten dos Santos, who has emerged as one of mixed martial arts' top attractions with an all-around game built on a foundation of stand-up fighting. The 6-foot-4 Brazilian bruiser is among the best boxers in his sport, and he's confident he could hold his own with Klitschko, the three-belt heavyweight champ.
"I watch a lot of fights with Wladimir, and I see a lot of holes," dos Santos said, warming to the idea while he downs a 22-ounce steak with asparagus and mashed potatoes for lunch in a Burbank restaurant filled with well-dressed professionals from the film studios and media companies within walking distance.
"Wladimir, the Klitschkos, they're amazing," he added. "I like to watch them fight, especially Wladimir, but it's kind of boring. They are really good at what they do, but they are very careful. They don't go to the fight to finish the fight. They stay there in that safe strategy all the time. It's not the Mike Tyson time. Guys don't finish fights."
Dos Santos isn't starting a boxing career any time soon, however. He's preparing for his next title defense in a rematch with Cain Velasquez at UFC 155 in December, and he already has an eye on a 2013 showdown with Alistair Overeem, the suspended contender dos Santos labels "a liar."
"I love who I am, and I want to stay in MMA," he said. "Boxing is going down."
Dos Santos is emerging as a global MMA star, and he intends to raise his profile next year by spending more time in the U.S. He'll train more frequently in San Diego, the home to several expatriate Brazilian MMA luminaries, improving his already strong English and attempting to expand his fan base.
A part-time move to California also will allow dos Santos to improve his wrestling, which he freely acknowledges isn't the strongest aspect of his MMA game. Dos Santos has trouble finding suitable training partners for wrestling in Brazil, where jiu-jitsu and striking are kings.
The champion's tendency to hurt his training partners didn't help, either: One wrestler who was scheduled to spend six weeks in his camp last year made it through only three days before quitting.
"I'm having a hard time finding a guy like Cain to train with in Brazil," dos Santos said. "I want to take care of my career and learn everything."
Dos Santos has done nothing in his relatively short MMA career to suggest he's lacking any knowledge.
After a series of first-round knockouts and two gritty decision victories, he claimed the title in October 2011 with a brutal knockout of Velasquez 64 seconds into their bout in the UFC's first prime-time network show. Dos Santos followed it up with a second-round victory over Frank Mir in his first title defense, dominating the MMA veteran and former champ.
Dos Santos initially was slated to defend his belt against Overeem last May, but the Dutch kickboxing champion tested positive for elevated testosterone levels, earning a suspension through December. If dos Santos beats Velasquez, his next defense is likely to be against Overeem -- and that doesn't sit well with the champ.
"He doesn't deserve to fight for the title," Overeem said. "He just failed the drug test. That's trash. That's very bad. He shouldn't fight for the title, but I want to fight with him. He lied. He lies a lot. I want that fight. I would enjoy to fight with him, but it doesn't mean he deserves to fight for the title."
He'll first give a rematch to Velasquez, even though the former Arizona State wrestler was steamrollered by dos Santos in his only career defeat. Dos Santos will begin his camp for Velasquez in Sao Paulo at the training complex of Corinthians, Brazil's richest soccer club, before flying to Las Vegas on Christmas Eve.
"Some people are asking me if the fight was too fast, but I don't think so," dos Santos said. "And if he gives me the opportunity again, it's going to be even faster."
Tickets went on sale for the UFC's traditional year-end Las Vegas show on Friday.
Until he gets a shot at a Klitschko, dos Santos will enjoy the smaller fruits of his MMA labor. He recently paid for surgery for his mother on her varicose veins, a memory that left him with a broad smile.
"That was one of those moments where you stop and say, 'Yeah, life is good for me,' " he said.

I'll tell you what, he has a much better chance than at least 90% of the heavyweights out there at the moment. Dude actually throw nice, crisp, fast combinations with power and can take a good shot. Imagine if JDS fought Wladmir in the states or in Germany...it could sell out a stadium in Germany no doubt and with the right marketing it could do the same in the States.

We are desensitizing children to violence
The recent massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary has made me wonder: When will we get it right? When, as parents and citizens, will we say, enough? When will all of us realize it takes a village to raise happy, honest, compassionate and productive children? No matter your religious beliefs, doesn't the phrase "I am my brother's keeper" mean anything anymore? All of us have to change the way we think and act.
This tragedy goes beyond gun laws, and yes, I support our Second Amendment right when it comes to protecting myself and my family in my home. What I'm talking about is the atmosphere of violence and fear. As long as we tolerate war, and violence in movies, television shows and video games, things will never change. Until we stop desensitizing our children to violence and end all our wars, we are stuck.
Since 9/11, we have become a society that is ruled by fear. We were lied to and somehow accepted the fact that we needed to go to war. We even accepted the Patriot Act and turned our heads when we lost some of our freedoms. We teach our children that bullying is not acceptable, but then our adult leaders "bully" their way into other countries.
I say, enough! Our children are dying every day, whether they're on the battlefield or in a classroom. We have to change our way of thinking. We have to embrace the ideals of peace and tolerance. War and violence should never be the acceptable answer anymore. Our children deserve better.

A Texas district attorney is making a push to require bars and restaurants to stock nonalcoholic beer and wine.
According to TV station KENS, Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed said the measure should help cut down on the number of DWI-related incidents.
One bar owner said the proposal is a government intrusion on his business. Bar owner Mike Specia told the station that the beverages would just collect dust on his shelves.
But supporters said drinking in bars has a social component to it, and if a bar has something that tastes and smells like beer or wine, people would feel more comfortable drinking it around their friends.
The DA's office is looking for a sponsor for the bill this session.

The semi-finals came down to a pair of couples who easily could have vied for the mirror ball against each other, only to result in a bitter departure. Read on for more.
After a beautiful night of dancing by the five remaining couples it was between ice skating partners Charlie White and Meryl Davis.
White, who had a very high scoring night last week, was the one who bid adieu to the ballroom.
"All these people are so deserving," he said of the finalists, adding that now he'd be Team Meryl. "From start to finish, it's been an amazing journey."
Said partner Sharna Burgess: "I love him ... He's taught me so much about positivity."
The show began with Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas, who danced a 34-point Viennese waltz that the actress characteristically dedicated to God.
"The pressure got to you a little," head judge Len Goodman told Bure, while Ortega said, "You got a little lost, but I credit you."
But despite some less than stellar routine commentary, the pair got some good news: They were the first couple declared safe.
Next up were White and Burgess, who danced a foxtrot to Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" that ended with a small solo part by the Olympian.
"Indescribably delightful. It was like you were the toast of New York," Ortega told the duo, while the other judges agreed the number was fabulous, giving the pair a perfect score of 40 out of 40 points.
Oprah provided some inspiration for the next couple: Amy Purdy and Derek Hough, who danced a mind-blowing quickstep. Goodman said, "Watching you inspires me."
Ortega asked America to "bring this team back next week," and Hough and the Paralympian scored 39 points.
Next up were James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd, who were declared safe before their perfect-scoring cha cha that was themed to Michael Jackson – a number the judges loved.
"It's hard to pull off Michael Jackson well and you did spectacular," judge Carrie Ann Inaba raved, while the other critics echoed her sentiments.
Next up, Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who got a little frustrated during rehearsals, danced a perfect-scoring jive that Goodman called "fantastic," and Tonioli noted, "Stylistically it was impeccable."
Bure and Ballas showed improvement in their second number, which was a 38-point jazz routine to Janet Jackson's "Nasty."
"It was right and it was together. I thought it was phenomenal," Goodman said, with Tonioli raving, "Ooh, I've never seen this side of you before. ... And you did it well, my darling."
White and Burgess then danced a samba to Notorious B.I.G. that scored a disappointing 36 points.
"I thought it was lacking a little funk but I thought it was a great performance," Ortega said, while Inaba felt White was "a little flat-footed."
Purdy and Hough wowed yet again with a complicated 39-point routine that Tonioli raved was "classic jazz at its best."
Ortega praised Hough and said, "You redefine choreography of this generation ... It was extraordinary."
A 36-point rumba by Murgatroyd and Maslow was enjoyed overall, but did have some hand critique, even though Inaba raved that everything about the dance was "just so elegant."
Next up were Davis and Chmerkovsiy, who danced a perfect-scoring Viennese waltz.
"You went for it 100 percent," Tonioli raved, while Ortega said, "Power, grace, synchronization, everything you could ask for in a partnership."

Your sunrise summary of everything you need to know about weather in H-town.
A very warm day — perhaps record-setting — is on tap before a nice cool down tonight.
A low pressure system over the western Gulf of Mexico — the end of the front that moved through Houston on Friday night — is moving east and will help to pull drier air into the region today.
This drier air, in conjunction with sunny skies, will make for a warm day in the mid-90s. But the dry air will also cool off quickly, leading to very pleasant mornings on Wednesday and Thursday in the low- to mid-60s. Highs will remain in the low-90s. In other words the middle of this week is going to be really nice.
By Thursday the onshore flow from the Gulf of Mexico should return, increasing humidity and moisture levels in the atmosphere.
A slow-moving frontal system will approach Houston this weekend, and provide a spark for at least some scattered (and quite possibly widespread) showers across the region, although forecasters with the Houston/Galveston office of the National Weather Service believe they will be of moderate intensity, for the most part, rather than strong. There's a 40 percent chance of rain on Saturday night and Sunday.
As you can see in the map above, rain chances are highest in Texas closest to the coast, where the atmospheric moisture levels will be highest.
It's not clear how much cooler air will move in behind the front. There will be some, but we may not feel it until the middle of next week.
The tropics are quiet.
I enjoyed the front
And, amazing, no one complained
A first for the blog.
Today's record high temperature is 95 degrees. Alas, we'll probably come close to that.

|Lensless Imaging of Magnetic Nanostructures
Magnetism is useful for many devices and techniques, from electric motors and computer hard drives to magnetic resonance imaging used in medicine. By studying the basics of magnetism, scientists aim to better understand the fundamental physical principles that govern magnetic systems, perhaps leading to important new technologies. The high brightness and coherence of the ALS's soft x-rays have enabled scientists to apply lensless x-ray imaging for the first time to nanometer-scale magnetic structures in an alloy.
Coherent diffraction imaging (CDI), also known as x-ray diffraction microscopy (XDM), is a method that was developed to "see" tiny structures without using a lens to produce a magnified image of the structure. This is particularly important in the x-ray regime, because x-ray optics technology cannot presently deliver the smallest theoretically possible spatial resolution (i.e., resolution at the "diffraction limit"). Images produced using CDI have the potential to reach this physical limit through diffraction methods and iterative mathematical algorithms. Recently, this technique has been especially popular in imaging such complex structures as aerogels and yeast cells.
When applying the CDI technique to a magnetic system, the same algorithms are used, but the interpretation is different. Traditionally, a material's structure is inferred from x-ray scattering off of its charge-density distribution (i.e., Bragg diffraction). In coherent magnetic x-ray scattering, however, the x-rays that interact with the magnetic atoms can be used to image a system's magnetic features that are otherwise undetectable.
A group of scientists working at ALS Beamline 12.0.2 have now demonstrated that the CDI technique works for producing nanoscale images of the magnetic structure of materials. They scattered coherent soft x-rays from an ultrathin amorphous alloy film of the two metals cobalt and terbium. These are systems in which the interaction of the localized rare-earth electrons in terbium and the itinerant transition-metal electrons in cobalt are interwoven. Measurements were performed at the cobalt resonance energy at the L-edge. The spatial resolution of the resulting image was about 75 nm. While the actual measurement was nothing new, the full magnetic-domain structure was discerned for the first time from the scattered magnetic x-ray data, through the use of iterative CDI algorithms, and it yielded some surprises.
For instance, linearly polarized light was used to fully recover the magnetic domain patterns. Usually, linear polarization cannot be used because the magnetic information is lost when the scattered intensity is measured. Instead, magnetic imaging is typically done with circularly polarized light using the x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) effect. The data demonstrate, however, that magnetic information can be obtained by using the algorithms to recover the magnetically sensitive phase of the scattered x-rays. The result yields more information than the typical absorption contrast used in other x-ray magnetic imaging techniques, effectively giving two pieces of information for each pixel of the image, both amplitude and phase. The amplitude is sensitive to the distribution of magnetic domains in the material because it is proportional to the overall absolute value of the magnetic spin states. The phase image yields no information about the walls in this case, but demonstrates the polarity of the domains, into or out of the sample plane in this experiment.
In the future, increasing the resolution past the 10-nm scale would enable us to observe much finer features such as the orientation of a small number of spins inside domain walls. In addition, the ability to use linearly polarized light enables us to dispense with complex methods of creating circularly polarized x-rays for many magnetic studies. This new method, applied to the field of magnetism, will also allow snapshot images with unlimited resolution at x-ray free-electron laser facilities, a prerequisite first step to recording ultrafast movies of magnetism in action.

We sounded the trumpets — Hoard's Dairyman is 125
We sounded the trumpets — Hoard's Dairyman is 125
In the times of royals, the sound of a blaring trumpet often announced the arrival of royalty. Today at the opening day of World Dairy Expo, shiny trumpets and brass sounded celebrations of years of dedication to the dairy industry. Hoard's Dairyman is annually proud to host the commercial exhibitor party to ring in another year of World Dairy Expo. This year, we celebrated our 125th anniversary of publishing. The party came complete with a larger-than-life birthday cake adorned with 125 glowing candles as well as a surprise visit from the University of Wisconsin-Madison marching band. Blasting the sounds of football game favorites and even a polka, the band finished with the traditional Happy Birthday song.
Members of Hoard's Dairyman's staff took a deep breathe and blew out 125 candles.
Party-goers could view a visual timeline of Hoard's Dairyman history over the past 125 years.
The room was packed with nearly 700 of World Dairy Expo's commercial exhibitors. While waiting for beverages and food, party-goers were able to view a recently completed visual timeline of the 125 years in Hoard's Dairyman history. Begining Thursday, this visual timeline will be on display at the National Dairy Shrine and Hoard Historial Museum in Fort Atkinson, Wis. World Dairy Expo sales manager, John Rozum, greeted those in attendance and presented awards for the best booths. Those winners can be found in an additional blog. Gary Vorpahl, Hoard's Dairyman's director of marketing, had the honor of presenting a special gift to our friends at World Dairy Expo. As a thank-you for their dedication to the industry they were given the final giclee print of our newly updated Foster Mothers of the Human Race painting.

No moral dilemma regarding torture
I read with great interest George Will's column on enhanced interrogation, i.e. torture. In my opinion, there is no moral dilemma. Simply apply the Christian admonition to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." How would you feel if these methods were used on American prisoners?

If Jen Leitch were a celebrity, she'd make the top of every magazine's best bikini body list. As the owner of two local Pure Barre studios, she's known for her body shaping abilities. Even more impressive? How Leitch has used Sullivan's Island beach community as a learning tool for her family.
We caught up with Leitsh to chat about why she and her family moved from Charlotte to Sullivan's Island, how seaside living has affected her parenting and what it's meant for her kids to grow up with the sand between their toes.
One summer, visiting from Charlotte, we lived on IOP for five weeks and really got a feel for the community. We fell in love with it. It was the happiest my family had ever been at the time. We were all so sad when we had to leave but I knew we would be back. Two years later, we were.
Before moving to Sullivan's Island and owning two Pure Barre studios, you and your family lived in Charlotte, N.C. and you worked as a CPA. What inspired the change in location and career? At the time of our visit, I had just discovered Pure Barre. I remember thinking, "Pure Barre would do great here!"
Most people don't know this, but I was rejected by Pure Barre twice. The first time I was shocked because the pull to move was so strong and I thought everything would come together but it just wasn't the right timing. So, moving here was first but Pure Barre was a way to do that. The two things together was a dream come true; I wake up everyday so grateful.
What about raising your family near the beach has made you, your husband and your kids so happy? We've raised our kids to be outside a lot and there are so many opportunities for that to happen here. People will find a way to stay here because they love it. Here, peoples' identities aren't wrapped up in their corporate lives. Here, who you are is about your job and your hobbies and what you do on your "off time."
Being outside is a huge part of how you raise your kids. How do you encourage your kids to take advantage of where they live? There's such value in kids doing nothing but being outside; laying in the grass, staring at the clouds in the sky. Fresh air, vitamin D, all of that is so important, but there's something to be said for learning by discovering what's around you instead of by watching a show on television. We don't even have cable. We finally just got a modern TV. It was getting a little embarrassing how old school our last one was.
What are some ways your kids enjoy being outside? We bike a lot as a family, and we try to bike to places when we can. Obviously, being on the ocean we spend a lot of time on the water.
My daughter Maddie, 17, surfs, is a lifeguard and is an intern for a summer camp out on Seabrook Island. My son Jack, 15, is learning to kite board with my husband and also surfs. All of my kids surf. My nine year old, Izzy, is especially fearless.

As everyone knows, Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson found himself in hot water (yes, that's a cooking reference to boiled duck) after calling homosexuality a sin in a recent GQ article. While many Old Testament prophets had beards, no one I know would confuse Robertson with a prophet or look to him for theological insights.
I've actually never seen the show or had even heard of this guy before the controversy erupted (when he flashed on the screen I assumed he was just another member of the Boston Red Sox), this whole situation will have a profound effect on clergy this Christmas. Think I'm being overly dramatic? Here are the Top Ten Ways Duck Dynasty Ruins Christmas — Clergy Edition.
10. Can't yell "duck!" as the new thurifer wantonly swings the incense pot at a parishioner's head during Midnight Mass.9. Guilt over ordering duck sauce with the Chinese meal you've had delivered by the only place open on Christmas Eve to cram down between the services.8. The Verger can't refer to getting the procession in order as having all his "ducks in a row."7. Must take out all references to Make Way for Ducklings during the children's service. This is a special hardship for clergy in Boston.6. Forget taking a Duck Boat tour with the in-laws the day after Christmas.5. Impossible to announce your retirement during Christmas services for fear of someone calling you a "lame duck" on the way out.4. Can't sing "Rubber Ducky, You're the One" while soaking in the tub to relax before all the services start. Plus there are those rumors about Bert and Ernie…3. Referring to all your parishioners as "sitting ducks" as they sit to listen to the sermon is out the window.2. Taking side bets on the Oregon Ducks' bowl game during the passing of the peace is verboten.1. Forced to remove all all references to foie gras from the Christmas Eve sermon.
So there you have it. Thanks Duck Dynasty guy for making Christmas just a little bit more difficult for all the men and women of the cloth (some of whom may well be considered quacks).
Anyway, I just thank God that I'm not the pastor of Duck United Methodist Church in Duck, North Carolina.

Same old BS. Content never works and never any new content. Manga.com has failed its attempt to dive into the app world. If you can't run a simple video player, why even bother? You should take down the app until you get your heads out of your asses and fix this MAJOR problem. Content unavailable is BS. Fix your server or give it up to someone who will. I love the idea of the manga app but it is totally worthless.

Looking to bounce back from Wednesday's non-conference loss to UCF, Stetson will return to Atlantic Sun play this weekend as the Hatters visit Kennesaw State for a three-game series at Bailey Park. The teams will play a doubleheader at 1 p.m. Saturday and a single game at 1 p.m. Sunday.

KAHULUI - Firefighters were investigating Tuesday whether fireworks ignited a New Year's Eve fire that destroyed a 600-square-foot cottage at 51 Kono Place in Kahului.
Illegal aerial fireworks were strongly suspected because witnesses saw the fire begin on the roof and spread downward, a fire official said Tuesday afternoon.
Kahului firefighters responding to the 9:34 p.m. alarm found the home fully engulfed in flames and an adjacent structure with fire and smoke coming from its rooftop, said Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga.

Illegal aerial fireworks were the suspected cause of a fire that destroyed a 600-square-foot cottage in Kahului, leaving a couple and a boy homeless and without their belongings. Witnesses reported seeing the fire start on the home's roof and spread downward, also burning a four-door sedan that had been parked nearby.

Fire left little more than ashes and charred support beams of what had been a cottage on Kono Place in Kahului. The residents were not home at the time of the New Year's Eve fire.

Damage to the cottage was estimated at $152,000, with damage to the other structure, where the fire was contained to one section of the home, assessed at $25,000, Mainaga said. That building was under construction and unoccupied.
Residents of the cottage were displaced and left the scene, he said. No injuries were reported.
A neighbor said the residents - a couple and a young boy - were not home at the time of the fire, possibly out at a New Year's Eve celebration.
The rear end of a four-door sedan that was parked next to the house also burned.
Elsewhere, from 11:18 a.m. Monday to 3:20 a.m. Tuesday, police logs of 911 dispatch calls show there were 15 reports of brush and rubbish fires in Kihei, Haiku, Waiehu, Kahului, Lahaina, Pukalani, Waihee, Kaunakakai, Kula and Hana. Five of the fires were in Kihei alone.
Mainaga reported two of the brush fires were in nearly the same location in a four-hour span.
At 9:09 p.m. Monday, firefighters from Wailuku, Kahului and Kula responded to a brush fire at Kahekili Highway near Makaala Drive in macademia nut fields. Crews found an 800-square-foot area of brush burning, had the blaze under control at 9:40 p.m. and extinguished at 9:57 p.m., Mainaga said.
At 1:15 a.m. Tuesday, firefighters from the same units returned to Makaala Drive, near the earlier fire, where they found a 900-square-foot fire. It was brought under control at 1:35 a.m. and put out at 1:57 a.m., he said.
It was undetermined whether the fires were fireworks related, he said.
