BLOSSBURG - Shortly before Monday night's meeting, Southern Tioga School Board members were hit with terrible news - 354 school construction projects are ahead of their Liberty High School to elementary school conversion project and the state cannot provide funding for it now.
"Current Pennsylvania Department of Education appropriation is not sufficient to fund them all," said Stephanie DiVittori, district special counsel. "Even after a three-year period, there will still be 166 projects ahead of this district. There's a question as to whether or not the district will obtain reimbursement."
"We were pretty much floored when we learned PDE might not reimburse us," said board member Jane Knipe.
Last December, the board voted to close the program at Liberty High School, consolidate it with North Penn and convert the old high school building into an elementary school. An architect presented plans for the conversion project, but after some contention on behalf of the public, the agenda item was pulled.
"Do any of the five of you that voted for this catastrophe have the guts to stand up and say, 'We made a mistake, let's just hold it?' Changing Liberty High School into an elementary school is a disaster. Why? What's wrong with the elementary building?" said Jim Kreger, of Morris Township.
But even if Liberty and North Penn high schools are consolidated, it won't fix the ailing budget. According to school board member Ivan Erway, at least two schools must close to make the district viable.
"We need to close at least one in the next year, and then another as quickly as possible," Erway said.
The board eyed closing Blossburg Elementary School, another unpopular consideration.
"I believe children should be educated in the least restrictive environment possible, preferably in their own neighborhoods. We're between a rock and a hard place and we have to go back and rethink our options," Knipe said.
As required by the state education department, the board unanimously voted to reaffirm its decision to close Liberty High School, although Superintendent Keith Yarger said the decision could be reversed.
"We need quick decisions, but quick should not preclude thorough," said board member Barbara Shull.
The board indicated two primary goals: to move toward a centralized high school and to keep a school within each community wherever possible.
"What is the best option available, given the existing buildings and financial constraints we're under?" asked Erway.
Many board members and citizens offered suggestions, but no one had a definitive answer.
"We need time, information and other options and alternatives," said board member Susan Jaquish.
"The board is looking to decide on these issues expeditiously," Yarger said.
The board made recommendations to the administration, including allowing for a north/south option instead of consolidation. The administration will come back to the school board with as many options as possible and then a decision will be made, hopefully within the next few weeks.
The school board encouraged the public to submit ideas in writing by postal mail, within the next few days.
"Help us," board member Stephen Hall said. "We're here to help you."
The board's next meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. May 13 at the Liberty High School auditorium.

"Body image has nothing to do with scale numbers, it's how you feel inside," Hasselbeck, who turns 31 this month, told Fitness magazine. "This is the first time I've felt free from that, because I am working out in a way where I feel so strong that there's no room for those doubts."
She adds: "I finally told myself ... 'I've got some curves, I've got a bubble butt, but I don't mind, because it's what powers me forward when I run.' "
To prepare for her cover of the magazine's June issue, Hasselbeck did run – she worked out for six weeks, including daily dashes and weight training. And to get that flat belly back, she did ab work two times a week.
According to Fitness Editor-in-Chief Denise Brodey, "Elisabeth said, 'I feel like I'm an athlete again.'"
Her goal wasn't to lose weight, she says, she just wanted to eat healthier and have more energy. So the magazine had a nutritionist design a wheat-free (Hasselbeck has celiac disease), energy-packed plan featuring lean protein and vegetables, along with nutrition bars and nuts for snacks.

Calibration of a digital human model with a motion capture system

The use of digital human models has increased in the last few years, as the computer calculation capacity has developed to a sufficient level. Digital human models are used in many different areas which involve human-machine interaction. As models have become more accurate, they have also become more complex and more difficult to control. Motion capture systems have been developed to offer a fast way to control complex human model with authentic human motion data. One problem in the utilisation of motion capture systems is that the motions of the human model do not necessarily follow accurately the motions of the performer. One of the base requirements for to achieve this is that the size of the performer and the human model is the same with sufficient accuracy. In this thesis, a calibration method was generated to measure the size of the performer. The method implementation consists of a measurement software, which the links of the performer, and a scaling software, which scales the size of the human model to correspond to the size of the performer. The measurement software measures the size of the performer with a minimum amount of sensors and without any preliminary measurements. Furthermore, the accuracy of the motion capture system and the software were measured and evaluated. /Kir10

on January 31, 2013 - 12:17 AM
, updated January 31, 2013 at 7:59 AM
NEW ORLEANS – The San Francisco 49ers' season was on the line with 2:23 left in the NFC Championship Game last week.
The Niners were clinging to a 28-24 lead, and the Atlanta Falcons had first down on San Francisco's 16-yard line.
That's when the NFL's best linebacking corps took over.
Inside linebacker Patrick Willis stuffed a running play for 1 yard, then made a sure tackle on a short pass over the middle. On third and 4, outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks batted away a pass at the line of scrimmage. On fourth down, inside linebacker NaVorro Bowman broke up a pass over the middle for receiver Roddy White.
Victory preserved.
"We just played tight coverage and rushed four and it worked out," said Niners defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. "We have great linebackers. There's no hiding that."
San Francisco will count on its four linebackers to be big playmakers Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII.
How great are the 49ers linebackers? Brooks made second-team All-Pro this season, and he has the "worst" credentials of the bunch.
Willis, taken one pick before Buffalo took Marshawn Lynch in the first round of the 2007 draft, has made first-team All-Pro in four of his six seasons.
Bowman, drafted in the third round in 2010, has made first-team All-Pro each of the past two seasons.
Outside linebacker Aldon Smith, drafted seventh overall in 2011, already has 33.5 sacks in two NFL seasons and made first-team All-Pro this year. Smith had 14 sacks as a rookie and 19.5 this year, just three shy of the NFL record.
Brooks, a seventh-year veteran originally drafted in the third round by Cincinnati, is an all-around playmaker, excelling in coverage and averaging six sacks a season over the past four years.
"As a group it's hard to argue against them being the best group in the league," said former Tampa linebacker Derrick Brooks, a five-time first-team All-Pro. "It reminds you of back in the day in New Orleans in the early '90s when they had Rickey Jackson, Pat Swilling, Sam Mills and Vaughan Johnson."
"They're very rarely off their feet, and they're always making plays," Derrick Brooks said. "And they're very unselfish. They don't care who makes the play, as long as the play is made."
Most linebacking units have one or two members who often come off the field in passing situations. Not the Niners. All four played at least 93 percent of the snaps this season. Aldon Smith is primarily a rush linebacker who moves to a left defensive end position in passing situations. Ahmad Brooks often rushes off the other edge.
Willis, 6-foot-1 and 242 pounds, is one of the fastest big linebackers to enter the NFL the past decade. He ran a 40-yard dash time of 4.51 seconds coming out of the University of Mississippi. Bowman, 6-foot and 242, has decent speed at 4.70 seconds. He ranked second in the NFL in tackles this year and seventh last year.
When the Niners play man coverage, Willis often takes the tight end and Bowman covers the back out of the backfield. But their roles are interchangeable. Few linebackers can cover tight ends one-on-one as effectively as Willis, which gives Fangio flexibility in his coverages.
"Willis' ability to cover in space is a rare ability," Derrick Brooks said. "Thankfully Willis has a defensive coordinator who recognizes it. He and Bowman do a good job of mixing it up, too. With them it's a guessing game which one is covering and which one is blitzing. And not only do they cover, but they make plays on the ball."
San Francisco's defense ranked second in points allowed and third in yards allowed this year. They were fourth against the run and fourth against the pass.
Fangio says the addition of Smith, who had played just two seasons of college football at Missouri, gave the Niners the complete foursome to dominate from a 3-4 alignment.
"I think our inside linebackers can play in a 4-3 just as equally as well," Fangio said. "It's the outside linebackers that are hard to find (in the 3-4)."
The linebackers also benefit from a stout front three. Niners' left defensive end Justin Smith is a four-time Pro Bowler whose physical style ties up blockers and helps Aldon Smith break free to the quarterback.
Baltimore running back Ray Rice, who led the NFL in yards from scrimmage in 2011, knows it's going to be tough to run the ball well against the Niners' linebackers.
"I'll just try to go out there and match up on them on coverage," Rice said. "That's where I'll try to get my advantages because I know, in the run game, they're very stout. So, I have to try to have a complete game plan and prepare to attack those two linebackers. ... This is one of those games where you just have to keep sawing wood."
Units of measure
San Francisco's linebacking unit ranks as the top corps in the NFL, thanks to first-team All-Pros Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman and Aldon Smith. Along with teammate Ahmad Brooks this is only the second season all four have played together. What are the best linebacking corps in NFL history? Here's a subjective list:
1. New Orleans. Late 1980s to '90s. Rickey Jackson, Sam Mills, Pat Swilling and Vaughan Johnson. Played together seven seasons and combined for 20 Pro Bowls over their entire careers. Jackson is a Hall of Famer.
2. Kansas City. Late 1960s to .'70s. Bobby Bell, Willie Lanier, Jim Lynch. Bell and Lanier are Hall-of-Famers. Played together eight seasons and combined for 18 Pro Bowls.
3. New York Giants. 1980s. Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, Gary Reasons, Carl Banks. Taylor and Carson are Hall of Famers. They played together five seasons and combined for 20 Pro Bowls.
4. Pittsburgh. 1970s. Jack Ham, Andy Russell, Jack Lambert. Ham and Lambert are Hall of Famers. Played together three years and over their careers combined for 24 Pro Bowls.
5. Chicago. 1980s. Wilber Marshall, Mike Singletary, Otis Wilson. Singletary is in the Hall of Fame. Played together four years and combined for 14 Pro Bowls.

WELLSVILLE - Another piece of the river valley's energy production future fell into place this week when Anchor Drilling Fluids USA Inc. announced the opening of a new production and storage facility at the Wellsville Intermodal Industrial Park.
The Oklahoma-based company announced Monday that the 12,000 square-foot, $2 million facility will be the first permanent drilling fluids operation in Ohio. It is strategically located adjacent to the existing Cimbar Performance Minerals facility at the Intermodal Park, where the barite used in Anchor's drilling fluid is processed.
The facility went online Oct. 31 and employs 15 people on-site with plans for the addition of another 20 to 30 field employees.
"After extensive groundwork with local and state officials and significant capital investment, we are proud to be operational and serving our industry's customers, hiring Ohio residents and contributing to state and local tax revenues," Anchor Drilling CEO Bob West said.
Columbiana County Port Authority CEO Tracy Drake said the new facility is a culmination of efforts dating back to the 1990s to bring more business to the region through ventures such as investment in the Wellsville Intermodal Park.
"It's good to see that planning pays off," he said.
Anchor was referred to the Port Authority by Cimbar Performance Minerals during negotiations with the company. "We looked at what they needed to do, put together a game plan," Drake said. "This is the result of those efforts."
Drake anticipates Anchor Drilling's investment to be truly long-term, citing estimates of local oil and gas extraction to be a 30- to 50-year industry locally. That point was echoed by Anchor Drilling President Phil West, who noted that the Utica Formation has an estimated 940 million barrels of oil and 38 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves.
"Development of this U.S. energy resource will significantly contribute to long-term economic growth and job creation in Ohio and the region," West said.

Baby Blues
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins is born in the hardscrabble North London community of Tottenham to art student Penny Adkins and Welsh plumber Mark Evans. Her father chooses the middle name Blue for his baby girl because of his love of blues music. When her parents split in the '90s, Adele settles in South London's West Norwood neighborhood, where she develops an eclectic taste for music, from the Spice Girls to Slipknot and Ella Fitzgerald to Etta James.
- 2002
School Ties
Adele is accepted to the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology, a high school that has turned out musical superstars like Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis and Jessie J. In 2006, she records three songs for a class project and sends them to a friend, who then uploads the tracks to MySpace. The songs become an Internet sensation and land her a deal with XL Records.
- 2008
Numbers Game
Adele releases her debut album, 19, which boasts the soulful singles "Chasing Pavements" and "Hometown Glory." Rolling Stone raves that her voice is "a voluptuous, slightly parched alto that swooped and fluttered like a Dusty Springfield student trying to upstage her teacher, or at least update the rules."
- 2009
Twice as Nice
At the 51st Annual Grammy Awards, the 20-year-old newcomer takes home the Grammy for best female pop vocal performance for her hit "Chasing Pavements" and the coveted best new artist trophy. "Thank you so much. I'm going to cry," she says during her acceptance speech.
- 2011
The Grand Follow-Up
On the strength of her first No. 1 U.S. single, "Rolling in the Deep," Adele skips the sophomore slump with her follow-up album, 21. Adele writes most of the songs over an intense three-week period. "It took a breakup to get me going. When I'm happy, I don't have much to write about," she says. The CD becomes the best-selling album of 2011.
Pitch Problems
Damage to her vocal cords forces Adele to cancel the remainder of her tour as she undergoes throat surgery. "I have absolutely no choice but to recuperate properly and fully, or I risk damaging my voice forever," she says of taking a break from performing.
- 2012
Budding Love
After receiving six Grammy nominations for 21, Adele, 23, graces the cover of PEOPLE and steps out with new love Simon Konecki, 36, whom she meets over the summer. "Everyone in our lives separately and together wish us nothing but the best, and vice versa," she writes of her new romance.
Trophy Girl
Adele nails her first post-surgery performance at the Grammy Awards – and becomes the evening's big winner, collecting six awards. "It's been the most life-changing year," an emotional Adele says after picking up the night's biggest prize, album of the year.
Great Expectations
Adele, 24, announces she's expecting her first child with boyfriend Simon Konecki on her website. "I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx," the singer writes.
It's a Boy!
After laying low to prepare for her baby's arrival, the singer and Konecki welcome their first child, a son. "We are all over the moon," a family source confirms to PEOPLE.

Honoring AU's 2013 Alumni Award Winners
American University is known for producing outstanding alumni who add value to their communities and have global impact. As part of this year's All-American Weekend, we celebrated the achievements of five alumni who do just that.
Dean Jay Factor, Kogod/BSBA '97, received AU's Alumni Achievement Award. Mr. Factor was co-founder, chairman of the board, and chief executive officer of Smashbox Enterprises, which included Smashbox Studios and Smashbox Cosmetics before it was sold to Estee Lauder in 2010. The company included a photo studio, modeling agency, production company, and cosmetics line before Estee Lauder acquired the company in July 2010. After the sale of Smashbox, Mr. Factor co-founded Lindbrook Capital, a boutique investment advisory firm. He is now an advisor and investor in start-up companies in Los Angeles and beyond.
"I cherish the years I spent at American," Mr. Factor said. "My business classes here gave me the foundation to start an international business."
AU's Alumni Recognition Award, which honors alumni for service to a philanthropic mission, was accepted by Kevin Hagan, SIS/MA '97. Mr. Hagan is president and chief executive officer of Feed The Children and works to provide hope and resources to those without life's essentials. Internationally, the organization works in 17 countries and the United States, providing 350,000 children hot, nourishing meals every school day while working with their families to build self sufficiency through its child-focused community development model.
"My American University education in the School of International Service opened my eyes to the complexities of global issues and instilled in me a set of core values, which I needed to address the world's deepest social ills," Mr. Hagan said at the ceremony.
The Alumni Eagle Award, which recognizes alumni for outstanding service to the university, was awarded to Judi Byers, Kogod/BSBA '04, CAS/MS '12, director of admission at the Kogod School of Business. Throughout her career at Kogod, she has worked tirelessly to bring the best and brightest students to American University, raising the status of the business school and the entire university. On accepting her award, Ms. Byers thanked the university and her family and friends for supporting her in doing the work she loves.
Two members of the class of 2009 accepted Rising Star Awards during Saturday's event. The Rising Star Award recognizes young alumni (those who received their undergraduate degree within the last 10 years) who are already making significant contributions to greater society through professional or philanthropic work.
David W. Simnick, SPA/BA '09, co-founder and chief executive officer of SoapBox Soaps, uses his entrepreneurial venture to help save children's lives around the world. Soapbox retails health and beauty products made in the U.S., and donates significant portions of its income to charity. Mr. Simnick attributes his success to being a part of AU's School of Public Affairs Leadership Program and the guidance of its director, Professor Margaret Marr, and SPA's assistant dean, Margaret Weekes.
Jonelle Williams, SPA/BA '09, is deputy executive director at Sierra Leone Policy Watch, Inc. A native of Sierra Leone, Mr. Williams fled that country to escape civil war and now works to improve the lives and communities of those in his home country.
An active AU volunteer, Mr. Williams said in accepting the award: "I do not stand here alone. My path here this evening to accept this award was made possible by the sacrifice and commitment of my friends, coworkers, and American University, who pushed me to my limits."
Selected annually from nominations submitted by faculty, staff, and AU alumni from around the world, these awards are the highest honors presented by the Alumni Association.

Buffalo developer and former gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino was escorted out of Wednesday evening's meeting of the Buffalo Board of Education.
Paladino, a frequent board critic, lambasted the board during the public comment portion of its meetingfor not adequately addressing sewage backups that have plagued Math Science Technology Prep at Seneca for the past six weeks.
Minutes before Paladino spoke, a teacher from that school told the board that students were experiencing health problems because of the sewage backups. The school is among those that have recently been renovated.
"In a couple months the ground rules are going to change here. That kind of nonsense isn't going to happen," Paladino told the board. "Six weeks. I would've fired [Joseph P. Giusiana, head of plant services] after the first week. He can't fix a sewer line leak because he's in bed with Ciminelli?" LP Ciminelli is doing work for the district.
Board President Mary Ruth Kapsiak, who is running for re-election this year, reprimanded Paladino, telling him that if he continued to verbally attack anyone, she would ask him to leave.
Paladino responded: "I want to know why this School Board condones a cover-up of the criminality of what's going on in the schools."
"You have to go. Because right now you're out of line," Kapsiak told him.
He shot back: "You're out of line."
And with that, a security guard escorted Paladino out of the board room.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. —In Svaroopa Yoga, we begin and end our classes in Savasana (Shav-aa-san-a). This is done first to calm the body and mind before beginning yoga and done again at the end of class to absorb the pranic energy and rid the body of toxins.A lot gets stirred up in your system during a practice of hatha yoga; the tissues of the muscles and digestive system in particular are cleansed of toxins. Without a period of rest after the practice, the toxins can go right back into the tissues from whence they came; rest is needed for some time to allow the body to filter the toxins out and ready them for disposal.This in itself rejuvenates the body, bringing freshness to it. It stops and even reverses the wear and tear of the body by which toxins build up and deplete the tissues, causing them to tire and age.
As the body becomes still the mind follows. The breath moves in and out rhythmically, it is even on the inflow and the outflow naturally without being manipulated it in anyway. The body begins to soften naturally as the breath soothes the brain and central nervous system.As the muscles release their hold the body starts to feel heavier and heavier. Just as the beautiful lotus blossom grows out from the murky waters of a lake, the stem rises above to bring the lotus to blossom in the sun. As we allow the stilling of the body to have an effect on the stilling of the mind, the spirit rises up out of the body's contracted muscles and allows our inner radiance to come to the surface and we shine naturally with the bliss of awareness.
If you have ever participated in a Svaroopa class then you know firsthand how truly wonderful Savasana can be. As awareness rises out of the stillness, suddenly, you become aware of yourself lying in Savasana and breathing rhythmically, and the mind stops processing other thoughts naturally.You don't have to work at it at all … if fact if you did, then you would never achieve this state of simple and complete awareness. When this does happen, one has successfully achieved a level of conscious deep awareness. Yoga calls it concentration.
Yogic concentration is to be fully conscious of what you are doing, while you are doing it. As your mind remains steady and focused, you are simply observing the experience without forming an opinion or having any thoughts about it; then comes another wonderful experience — the awareness of awareness. It could only be best explained as you observing you — observing you.You could go on and on this way; and this is what I mean when I talk about "the layers and dimensions of awareness." The observer observing itself — I like to use the analogy that observing is like holding a mirror up to another mirror and one sees the reflection ad infinitum. The big question is where does it end? You will have to do more yoga to find out that answer for yourself!The next time you are in Savasana, try not trying at all. Just breathe in and out … in and out … as you follow your breath on an inward journey and let Savasana do the rest. — Angelina Calafiore, CMT, CYT ,is the owner/director of Serendipity Yoga Center for Health and Wellbeing in Incline Village. Her website is serendipityoga.wordpress.com.

MARTINSBURG — As the new executive director of the Eastern Panhandle Transit Authority, better known as PanTran, Cheryl Keyrouze's biggest challenge is making people in the community aware that......
Right, we all have a stake in this subsidized program. Sounds like what goes on with Charles Town City Council. The liberals like Poenessa, Slover and Bringetot will help fund the bus, just ask them. They love spending our taxdollars and blocking growth. These Councilmen from NY, NC, Iowa and DC are what is wrong with our City, they never got to know it when they moved here and ran for Council right away. They keep trying to block growth, waste our resources and then at the last minute when they figure out it is going to pass, the hypocrites then vote for it so they cannot be accused on not voting for growth. No growthers and hypocrites, we don't need them in Charles Town. Now before you check that disagree button, how are the sidewalks in front of your house, how about your drinking water

I tried to use it a while back when they took it over from the senior center but it didn't work out for some reason. It evidently only works for senior citizens that don't have a lot of bags, as I did, or that need help getting on and off the bus as some do. I was told that if they need help, they're supposed to have an aide with them to do that. Well, f they have an aide, she'll probably have her own car and can take the person wherever they need to go. duh!

WISN 12 News has learned an inspector in the Wauwatosa Fire Department has been arrested and charged in connection with a domestic violence complaint.
Henry Wendt, 54, of Milwaukee is charged with misdemeanor battery, domestic-abuse related.
According to the criminal complaint, the victim claims Wendt pushed her into a cabinet last weekend, injuring her head. A Milwaukee police officer who arrested Wendt said she saw bruising to the victim's head.
If convicted, Wendt could face up to nine months in jail. He's scheduled to be back in court next month.
WISN 12 News tried to reach Wauwatosa's fire chief to determine if Wendt had been disciplined, but the call was not returned.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Incline girls basketball coach Wayne Nash likes his team's chances when holding the opposition to zero points in the first quarter, and four points through one half.
In their first home game of the season Tuesday night, the Highlanders outscored Silver Stage 14-0 in the opening quarter and 29-4 through the midway point in a 55-25 rout.
"It was a good win. We needed a home win," said Nash, whose team is off to a 2-5 start after facing some of the tougher teams in its division on the road. "That was our first game with all 10 girls. It's nice having Kortney (Solis) back. It was her first game."
Solis, a junior forward, was one of a handful of Highlanders who scored nearly at will throughout the contest, mostly on slashing drives to the bucket. She finished with a game-high 16 points in 16 minutes to go along with her seven rebounds and two steals.
The Highlanders came out with intensity, creating turnovers with an aggressive full-court press to build their big early lead. They scored the first 16 points of the game before the Nighthawks got on the board early in the second quarter.
By then Incline had backed off its press, only pressuring the visitors in occasional spurts.
"It was our press (that made the difference). We are just starting to get the kinks out of it," Nash said. "Tonight showed that when we apply pressure, good things happen."
Along with Solis, sophomore guard Molly Franklin and friends punished the Nighthawks with steals that led to transition layups. Franklin scored 14 points and had four steals, while freshman Kira Porter cleaned up the boards to finish with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Kerrie Tonking added seven points and three assists. The Highlanders had 19 steals total.
"This was a coming out party for (number) 22," Nash said of Franklin. "She's only a sophomore, and she can handle the ball with both hands and score it. She should score 13, 14 points a night for us."
Nash said while the Highlanders are off to a slow start record-wise, their goal is to continue to improve as the season progresses, and be on their game come playoff time.
Incline is scheduled to host Coleville on Friday at 4:30 p.m.

What a fun weekend in sports, huh?
Normally at this time of year we only talk about the NBA draft and several small baseball stories, but there are several topics that I want to touch on. If you missed anything this weekend, it has to start with Ron Artest.
Well, his name is not Ron Artest anymore. Artest has changed his name to Metta World Peace.
Yes, you read that correctly.
When I first heard this during the NBA draft, which I attended live, I rolled my eyes. After all, we have lived with several athletes changing their names. Chad Ochocinco has to be the first one that comes to mind. Being a Cavaliers fan, I was instantly reminded of the player Lloyd Bernard Free, who changed his name to World B. Free.
This name change is just another Ron Artest antic. He needs to stop and just play basketball. Ron Ron needs to realize that basketball is his real career, and it is time to focus on it alone. Sure there are many Artest...er... Peace supporters, but I am not one of them. For a man with the last name Peace, it wasn't so peaceful when he bolted into the stand to fight a fan in Detroit.
This is also the man who wanted to leave basketball for a little while to pursue his rap career. By all means, the name change is just an act from an unpeaceful person.
In other news, Manny Pacquiao might have a true competitor after all. If you missed Saul Alvarez's bout on the 18th, it was impressive. He continues to dominate opponents and is making his way towards Pacquiao.
During the NBA draft, one jaw dropping trade that went under the radar was that of Rudy Fernandez. The Mavericks basically gave up nothing to receive a starting shooting guard.

The Barbour County Commission is asking to be dismissed from a federal civil lawsuit filed against it and Barbour County Sheriff John Hawkins by a 19-year-old Moatsville woman.
Hawkins and the commission are named as co-defendants in a 15-count complaint filed by Brittany Mae Keene July 18 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia's Elkins' office.
In response to Keene's suit, which accuses Hawkins of sexually assaulting Keene and five other women, the commission asks to be dismissed "from all claims, with prejudice" in a "motion to dismiss in lieu of answer" filed Aug. 9.
Hawkins has repeatedly denied Keene's allegations - first on his Facebook wall, then in a written statement issued to media outlets and finally in an Aug. 7 response filed in U.S. District Court.
Keene's complaint alleges the sheriff sexually assaulted her in late July or early August of 2011 and then repeatedly threatened to kill her if she told anyone. It goes on to assert the commission "knew or should have known, of the proclivity and tendency for violence and excessive force of Hawkins in performing his law enforcement duties," but nevertheless "permitted and authorized him to continue in his capacity as sheriff."
However, the commission's attorney, Keith Gamble of the Morgantown law firm Pullin, Fowler, Flanagan, Brown & Poe, contends the commission "cannot be held liable" for Hawkins' alleged actions.
"What they (Keene's lawyers) have alleged is the commission is responsible for Hawkins' alleged actions, but based on 1983 civil rights litigation, there has to be a different showing," Gamble told The Inter-Mountain in a telephone interview Friday. "They cannot hold the commission responsible just on theories of 'respondeat superior' as they've alleged them."
Respondeat superior is a common-law doctrine that says an employer is liable for the actions of an employee when the actions take place within the scope of employment, according to information on the websites of several online legal dictionaries.
So, what allegations in the lawsuit are levied against the commission?
Keene's complaint accuses Hawkins, the commission and/or both of: unlawful arrest; excessive force; civil conspiracy; tort of outrage/intentional infliction of emotional distress; battery; negligent retention and hiring; false imprisonment; negligent training and supervision; assault; deliberate indifference; malicious prosecution; abuse of process; sexual assault; providing alcohol to a minor; and dissemination of a nude photo of a minor.
The commission's motion asks that several of those counts be dismissed because of Keene's lawyers' failure to provide specific, supporting evidence.
"The allegations (against the commission) asserted ... are simply conclusory statements void of factual support," the motion states. The motion goes on to say that Keene's complaint fails to establish a "causal link" between the county commission and "the alleged acts of Hawkins."
Finally, in regard to Count 6 and Count 8 of Keene's suit - negligent retention/hiring and negligent training and supervision, respectively - the Aug. 9 motion contends the commission has "no legal duty ... to 'hire,' 'retain,' 'supervise' or 'train' a constitutionally elected official such as Sheriff Hawkins."
On Friday, Gamble said he's yet to find any law stating that a county commission "has to make sure a sheriff is doing x, y and z."
"I can't find anything on it," Gamble said. "I've called other county commissions to see what, if any, responsibility a county commission has to supervise or manage an elected official. The answer, to my knowledge, is none, and the reason is, they're elected officials."
Gamble said county commissions do control "fiduciary" aspects of elected officials' duties, such as allocating money for such officials' budgets.
"However, the county commission is not permitted to make policy for the sheriff's department," Gamble added.
At no point in its motion does the commission state whether or not it believes Keene's allegations against Hawkins.
"We have no knowledge at this point that any of the alleged activity occurred," Gamble said. "Whether he did any of what is contained in the complaint, we don't know any of that. We don't have any evidence in our possession that would suggest that it's true.
"We are not saying that it's not," Gamble continued. "They say they have text messages and emails, but they're allegations and until they prove them to us, that's what they'll remain."
Gamble said he wanted to emphasize the commission is "not saying the sheriff did something."
"We don't know what happened," he said, "but there's no basis to suggest that what she's (Keene) saying is true."
The main message of the commission's filing, Gamble said, is the commission "doesn't have any liability here."

The Stetson University baseball program honored members of the military and U.S. service veterans on Tuesday night prior to squaring off with South Florida at Melching Field.
The Hatters and Bulls then decided to have a war of attrition over the next four and half hours, with the teams combining to use 40 players, including seven pitchers each. It was the Bulls that managed to outlast the Hatters, scoring four times in the 13th inning to take a 6-2 victory.
The loss dropped Stetson to 17-21 on the year. USF improved to 23-14 with its ninth straight win, a streak that started when the Bulls downed the Hatters 12-8 in Tampa on April 2. The teams will meet once more this year, on May 1 back at USF.
Tuesday nights game came down to one simple factor – the team with the most pitching would win.
"I think both teams wanted to win, but both teams wiggled their way out of trouble several times," Stetson coach Pete Dunn said. "As hard as our kids played, and as proud as I am of their effort, USF played better than we did tonight. They turned double plays to get out of innings several times and got strikeouts when they needed them.
"It got to the point where we had to be concerned about our pitching for this weekend. We realize that the weekend is the most important thing. There were a lot of things that we could have done differently with our pitchers, but then we might not have had them available this weekend."
The game turned in the 13th inning after the Hatters made the decision to remove redshirt freshman Tyler Warmoth from the game after he had already worked three and two-thirds innings. Warmoth held the Bulls in check over that time, allowing just one hit and one walk.
South Florida took advantage of the change. Freshman Brandon Diaz (0-2) walked the first two USF batters in the 13th inning on just nine pitches before redshirt freshman Ike Greenspon came in to try to get out of the jam.
Things went south quickly for the Hatters when James Ramsay delivered what was intended to be a sacrifice bunt, but was so perfectly placed that he reached on a hit, loading the bases.
Jimmy Falla followed with a double to the gap in left-center. He and Ramsay then scored on a single to right by Chris Norton to put the final nails in the Stetson coffin.
USF reliever Adrian Puig (2-0) closed out Stetson with a 1-2-3 bottom of the 13th to get the win. He retired seven of the eight hitters he faced, with the only runner reaching against him on an error.
The Hatters were able to push the game into extra innings by plating a pair of runs in the seventh inning off USF reliever Janick Serrallonga. Sophomore Darby McCormick had the big hit in the inning after the opposing coaches had a lineup chess match when he delivered a two-out, two-run single to left off Jordan Strittmatter. McCormick actually pinch-hit for pinch-hitter Mike Fernland, who never made it to the plate because of a pitching change.
The Hatters had chances to win the game in the 10th and 11th innings. Stetson got K'shawn Smith to third base with one out in the 10th, but left him stranded when reliever Nolan Thomas struck out both Kevin Fagan and, after an intentional walk, Patrick Mazeika, to end the threat.
Mazeika, who entered the game with the nation's longest active hitting streak, was hitless in six at bats in the game.
The Hatters got a runner into scoring position again in the 11th inning, but Tanner Blackman hit into an inning-ending double play, one of three turned by the Bulls in the game, to end the threat.
USF got on the board first in the game, scoring a single run in the third inning off Stetson starter Adam Schaly. Alex Mendez opened the inning with a double to left, moved up on a single by Ramsay and then scored on a sacrifice fly by Falla.
That was the only run Schaly allowed in what was hit best start of the year. He scattered five hits over 4.1 innings of work, walked three and struck out four.
USF added a run in the seventh off Ben Rakus when Kyle Teaf drew a walk to open the inning, was sacrificed to second and then eventually scored on a single just over the glove of Carlos Garmendia at third base off the bat of Norton.
"Both teams stepped up and made plays when they needed it, they just had more pitching tonight than we did," Dunn said.
"This game will hurt tonight, but I don't think the kids will dwell on it. I am proud of them. They played hard. There are just some games where you just have to walk away with your head up after you get beat by a better team. Tonight, that was it."
Stetson managed just five hits in the game off the USF pitchers, and three of those came off the bats of pinch hitters. Ramsay and Norton had three hits each to lead the Bulls.
The Hatters will be back in action at Melching Field on Friday night when they open a three-game Atlantic Sun Conference series against East Tennessee State. The Bucs are currently tied for second place in the league race with a 10-5 record in conference play.
The first pitch on Friday night is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

INWOOD - Remembering a time when - as a returning veteran - he was not treated with respect, Don Chandler, a Navy veteran, is happy to see a change in public perception. Now, a returning veteran is a cause for celebration, he said.
"When I came back from Vietnam, I was not allowed to wear my uniform in downtown Washington, D.C., because of the danger it presented - all of the demonstrations that were there. We were not allowed on any college campus with our uniform on. There were certain places you simply didn't wear it," Chandler said.
Now, as pastor of South Berkeley Baptist Church, Chandler and his congregation are proud to join organizations and businesses across the nation in celebrating veterans and their service to the country.

Veteran Harry Barnett, who served as a Marine from 1959-65, enjoys breakfast at South Berkeley Baptist Church during the church's second annual veterans' breakfast in observance of Veterans Day.
The Woman's Missionary Unit of the South Berkeley Baptist Church hosted its second annual veterans' breakfast Monday. With a variety of breakfast favorites including eggs, sausage, bacon, gravy and biscuits, veterans could eat their fill while being served by members of the church and volunteers.
"When I see the veterans of today coming back ... being applauded at the airports for their service, that is such a change. The whole mindset of America has changed, and it's a change in the right direction," Chandler said.
Attending the church's breakfast for a second year, former Marine Harry Barnett has also seen the progression of public attitude change to one that views veterans with respect, where veterans are "treated a lot better."
Barnett, who served from 1959-65, remembers the negativity surrounding service members at the time.
"I had respect for myself and the service that I was in. As far as the people around me, it didn't matter to me whether they respected me or not. For me, they had to earn my respect," Barnett said.
Like most veterans at the breakfast, World War II veteran Stephen LaScola was happy to receive a good meal and meet other veterans from around the area.
LaScola, who served with the Navy from 1941 to 1946, was one of the crew members aboard the USS Franklin during the two times the aircraft carrier was bombed.
"The first bombing took place in Leyte Gulf during the first battle of Philippine Sea. We lost 340 men," LaScola said. "We took the second bombing (near Japan), and we almost got demolished. That ship was supposed to be sunk, but we made it back. We had (724), I believe the count was, buried at sea."
Despite recounting grim experiences, LaScola enjoyed being able to swap stories with other veterans and appreciated the recognition the church provided through the event.
While this was only the second time hosting the breakfast, Chandler said veteran participation has been high each year. Last year, the church received around 160 veterans and, based on the morning crowd, Chandler anticipated feeding close to 160 again.
"The more we can do, the better," he said.

Good review as usual though Rich Quote
I did think, looking at another manufacturer, that the un-soldered bits were for eSATA of sorts. Apparently not.
Nice review.
Not a bad price tbh. Online stores may massage that a little. Wouldn't be too suprized if a fully populated version comes out afterwards. They're *******s for doing that. Bring out the lesser - get u to buy it - then out comes the trump card.Quote

For many mobile professionals and other enthusiasts being without a wireless Internet connections is unfathomable. But for those outside of large cities the thought of a high-speed wireless network is merely a dream because the service simply isn't available.
When the FCC first announced in August of 2007 an auction for the newly set aside 700 MHz frequency, rumors started to circulate that Google would be one of the bidders for the frequency spectrum. In July of 2007, right before the FCC announced the bidding would be open, Google said if its requirements were met; it would bid the minimum $4.6 billion USD for the spectrum.
In what was perceived by many as a gearing up of sorts to getting its hands on the 700 MHz wireless frequency, Google and 34 phone industry companies launched the Android mobile phone OS. The new Android OS was seen as a direct competitor to Microsoft's mobile OS dominance with Windows Mobile.
Today Google made the official announcement that it would file its formal application to participate in the 700MHz auction. Google states its application would be filed on December 3, 2007 with the FCC, which is the first step in the auction process. Google also pointed out that its application did not include any partners.
"We believe it's important to put our money where our principles are," said Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO, Google. "Consumers deserve more competition and innovation than they have in today's wireless world. No matter which bidder ultimately prevails, the real winners of this auction are American consumers who likely will see more choices than ever before in how they access the Internet."
In his Google blog Chris Sacca, Head of Special Initiatives at Google, wrote, "Here at Google, we see the upcoming 700 megahertz spectrum auction at the Federal Communications Commission as one of the best opportunities consumers will have to enjoy more choices in the world of wireless devices."
There is more to the 700 MHz frequency than simply the chance to offer mobile communications devices. The frequency is able to transmit over long distances with low power requirements meaning that the spectrum could bring broadband Intent connectivity to rural areas that are often only serviced by dial up web connectivity.
quote: The beauty of the 700-MHz spectrum, according to Eric Epstein, a consultant at communications infrastructure design company Simtec Global LLC, is that no one in the US has been licensed to broadcast anything but UHF in that spectrum. As a result, there is "no noise, no interference--coast to coast.Wireless broadband in the 700MHz spectrum already exist; owners of the spectrum could negotiate for space on the current broadcasting towers.700MHz is far enough away no to have problems with existing services and depending on the FCC sell or license the chunks of the spectrum, providers could offer wifi service with download speed that are 3 to 5 megabits per second faster than wifi.

One of God's greatest inventions was moms. There is a difference between a mother and a mom.
When you see her in the morning, a mom smiles at you with a smile that is brighter than the sun and has your breakfast ready for you before you go to school. I am in my 60's and my mom is with the Lord now, but every time I smell bacon frying, my mind goes back to the days when I was in school. I would come downstairs and be greeted by the wonderful smell of bacon, and I'd find my mom standing over the stove.
During the day mom is either hard at work providing financial security for you and the rest of the family, or she's at home, making a home a home by washing dishes, vacuuming, washing and ironing your clothes, and doing a thousand other things for you.
Why? She loves you. That's what moms do.
She's both a nurse and doctor when you need one. She puts a bandage on your boo-boos and kisses them well while she dries the tears from your eyes.
She walks the floor all night worrying about you when you have a fever, making sure you take the proper medications, and all during the night she prays for you as she has done for you from the moment you were born.
When your illnesses are a bit more than she can handle she takes you to the doctor regardless of the cost just to make sure you are OK. Why? She loves you. That's what moms do.
When life gets hard, disappointments come your way, your heart is broken, and the pressures feel like they are going to crush you, a mom gives you a hug, kisses you on your forehead and lets you know that somehow it is going to be OK because she believes in you even when you don't believe in yourself. She loves you. That's what moms do.
There are times when she needs to inflict punishment for our misbehavior so that we can learn right from wrong. They don't like doing that but they must for our own good. After all what does the Bible say in Prov. 29:15 but, "The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left [to himself] bringeth his mother to shame."
She loves you. That's what moms do.
Sometimes moms have to be a peacemaker between you and your brothers and sisters. Nothing can make a mother's hair turn gray more often than when brothers and sisters fuss and fight. Therefore, she does what she can to make peace even if it means sacrificing something she wants for herself.
Why? She loves all her kids. That's what moms do.
Finally, a mom is the first to defend her kids. This is true throughout nature. I challenge anyone to mess with a cub and find out what momma bear does. It's not pretty. Human moms do that, too.
Why? They love their kids. That's what moms do.
If what I have shared reminds you in any way of your mom whether she is alive or dead, simply bow your head and thank God for a mom that loves you so much she is willing to do any or all of that. That's what moms do.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I miss you.
