READING - Vic Black has been nothing short of fantastic for the Curve this season, and while health is the primary reason, perspective also has played a big part.
"I'm just having fun," Black said after throwing a scoreless inning in Wednesday's Eastern League All-Star Game. "There's really nothing better than just being healthy and going out to throw every day.
"It's just a blast."
The past two years weren't much fun for Black, a supplemental first-round draft pick in 2009. He suffered a shoulder injury that limited him to just two games in 2010 and kept him out until late May last year.
Black then struggled upon returning in 2011, posting a 5.28 ERA in 22 relief appearances at low-A West Virginia before doing better at high-A Bradenton (4.05 ERA in five games).
None of those numbers indicated Black would be a dominant Double-A reliever, but he's been lights out for the Curve.
Black hasn't allowed a run since May 26, a span of 13 appearances and 16 innings. In 30 games overall, he has a scant 1.22 ERA, one of the best in Curve history.
Black pitched a scoreless seventh inning Wednesday, striking out one, walking one and getting a double play for the Western Division All-Stars.
The flame-throwing right-hander, who's been clocked consistently at 98 mph all season, doesn't appear to be just a Double-A wonder, either.
To go along with immense talent, Black has a tremendous attitude about the game. That came about from having to miss so much playing time the past two years.
"There was so much I think I took for granted while I was hurt," he said. "Now, to have the opportunity to come out and do things every day, there's no better way to spend my days.
"It's just complete gratefulness. Now I get to wake up and come to the field instead of waking up at 6:30 in the morning at Pirate City and going to rehab."
Black had only thrown 71 2/3 innings in his pro career and hadn't exactly enjoyed much success when the Pirates decided to take a chance and let him start the season with the Curve. Black turned 24 in May, so the organization surely figured it had to find out about him at a higher level.
Curve pitching coach Jeff Johnson said Black has really just started to find himself as a pitcher this season.
"He was trying to figure out who he was and what kind of pitcher he was going to be," said Johnson, who also spoke of Black's great stuff and consistent approach every day.
With the injuries behind him, Johnson believes Black "can do whatever he wants" with regards to being a successful pitcher.
One of the big turning points for Black came when he joined high-A Bradenton last August.
"Just the transformation and [the Pirates] allowing me to do what I do, which is just throw," he said. "I've never been one to overanalyze the game and think about mechanics."
The Bucs, however, had tried stressing mechanics with him at the beginning of his career. And it wasn't working.
So when Black got to Bradenton, pitching coach Mike Steele gave him some news that jumpstarted his career.
"My first day back in the Florida State League with Mike Steele, we had a talk and he said, 'Hey, we made you a mechanical guy, and you're not. The locks are off,'" Black said.
"I think the mechanical idea is great for younger guys, but for me, I don't think, I just go pitch."
Being able to just let loose, Black saw his velocity rise. He's now a big-time power arm who projects to be a back-end bullpen guy in the major leagues.
Earlier this season, the Curve also had fireballer Duke Welker in the back of the bullpen. Welker, who's now in Triple-A, throws 98 mph, and with him and Black, the Pirates have two promising power arms in the upper minors.
Welker struggled early in his career as a starter, but the move to the bullpen has made him a very good prospect. A healthy Black is another one for the Bucs.
"We're grateful to give them some return on their investment," Black said. "For a while he struggled, I was hurt. There was frustration on our part. And we know they were patient with us, and now we're just able to go out and compete and do what they were planning on us doing."
If everything keeps going as planned, Welker and Black could find themselves pitching together once again next season, about 100 miles west of Altoona.

Stetson put forth its best defensive effort of the season and extended its winning streak to eight games in a row with a 82-47 victory over host Lipscomb Saturday afternoon at Allen Arena.
The Hatters (16-5, 8-1 A-Sun) held the Lady Bisons (3-17, 0-9 A-Sun) to just 22.7% shooting from the field and 18% shooting from behind the arc to complete a sweep of their two-game Atlantic Sun road trip through Kentucky and Tennessee.
"I was very proud of our defense the entire game," said Stetson head coach Lynn Bria, who picked up career win no. 250. "I thought the effort was outstanding."
Amber Porter and C.J. Coddington each recorded double-doubles to lead the Hatters. Porter scored a game-high 17 points and added 12 rebounds and three blocks, bringing her season total of rejections to 71.
Coddington, meanwhile, recorded an even 10 points and 10 rebounds while providing the Hatters with some much needed energy during the first half. It was her first career double-double.
"It's exciting, I couldn't have done it without my teammates," Coddington said. "We are just out here playing hard, playing together as a team, and everything is falling into place for us."
Stetson led wire-to-wire, but benefitted from a 22-1 surge bridging the intermission to break the game open. The Hatters ended the first half on a 9-1 spurt, then scored on its first six possessions of the second half during a 13-0 run.
"I thought we were more aggressive offensively (in the second half)," Bria said. "We moved the ball much more, we got some really good hard cuts, and we got to the free throw line more."
Coddington helped carry the team in the first half as the Hatters struggled to knock down shots and had all three post players get into foul trouble.
"(C.J.) had a great game, she almost had the double-double at halftime," Bria said. "Overall she had one the best games I have ever seen her play. Amber got in foul trouble in the first half but played a lot minutes in the second half and really was a force on both ends of the floor."
Sasha Sims scored 14 points and Brianti Saunders added 10 points to help lead the attack.
Stetson dominated the paint, outrebounding Lipscomb 53-40 and outscoring the Lady Bisons 38-14 on inside points. Stetson also received 34 points off the bench as all 10 players marked the scoresheet.
Stetson topped the 80-point mark for the third game in a row and for the 11th time this season. Lipscomb's 47 points was a season-low for a Hatters' opponent.
Coupled with Northern Kentucky's win over Florida Gulf Coast, Stetson moved into a tie for first-place in the A-Sun standings. The Hatters continue their four-game road swing next weekend with games at USC Upstate on Thursday and at ETSU on Saturday.

on October 5, 2012 - 12:01 AM
Ceramic tile-maker Dal-Tile Corp. is closing its mosaic tile manufacturing facility in Olean because of the weak economy and sluggish sales, laying off 174 workers after last-ditch pleas by politicians and efforts by state economic development officials to save the plant failed to sway the company.
The Dallas-based manufacturer, the largest U.S. maker of ceramic tile and natural stone, will shut down its plant at 130 South Clark St. by the end of January after concluding that it made more sense to consolidate operations at another plant in Gettysburg, Pa. The Olean plant is the company's only facility with its own machine shop, but it's also the only unionized plant.
The company said it had completed a "comprehensive assessment" of its unglazed mosaic tile business, and the consolidation and expansion at Gettysburg "brings production capabilities in line with the decline" in demand for that business. It plans to add 64 jobs in Gettysburg, where it now employs 185.
"Though made with careful consideration, declining demand for this type of tile and our excess production capacity necessitated our decision to close the Olean facility," John Turner Jr., president of Dal-Tile, said in a statement Thursday afternoon. "It was an extremely difficult decision given our employees and history at the site."
He added that the consolidation will not affect customers or product availability.
"Our manufacturing operations at Gettysburg provide the capacity, flexibility and cost effectiveness that we require to meet customer needs," he said.
State Sen. Catharine M. Young, R-Olean, one of several politicians who lobbied the company to keep the facility open, said product sales for Dal-Tile are "way down," and the plant was operating at just 40 percent to 50 percent of capacity.
As a result, even with state and local assistance that was offered, it would have cost the company $10 million more "in capital and operations" to stay in Olean, compared with the other mosaic tile plant in Gettysburg.
"This outcome is very disappointing and heartbreaking," Young said in a statement. "All levels of government worked together to put forward an aggressive, lucrative package to keep Dal-Tile here, going above and beyond the state's usual economic development incentives. In the end, the severe downturn in the national economy was too much to overcome."
Employees at both facilities have been notified, along with United Steelworkers Olean Local 151G, which represents some employees in Olean and is now negotiating with the company. Dal-Tile also said it will work with the state Labor Department to provide assistance to affected workers, and Young said the state's Rapid Response Services team will come to Olean to help with job placements, unemployment insurance and other job training.
"I'm very disappointed that the Dal-Tile facility in Olean will be closed," Assemblyman Joseph M. Giglio, R-Gowanda, said in the joint statement with Young. "The downturn in the economy forced the company to make a very difficult decision ... Unfortunately, the company felt that it was unable to make the necessary investments in the Olean facility to keep it operational."
Both Young and Giglio said they will work with state and local officials to recruit a new business and new jobs to the facility.
Founded in 1947, Dal-Tile operates nine manufacturing plants and four distribution facilities in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with about 7,500 employees. The company, which makes glazed wall and floor tiles, unglazed floor tiles, porcelain tiles, ceramic mosaics, stone products and insulation materials, sells under the Dal-Tile and American Olean brands through 250 of its own sales service centers, independent distributors and home center retailers.
The company was acquired in 2002 by Mohawk Industries of Calhoun, Ga., a publicly traded supplier of flooring – including carpet, ceramic tiles, laminate, wood, stone, vinyl and rugs – for residential and commercial use.
Empire State Development Corp. worked with Cattaraugus County Economic Development, the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency and the City of Olean to craft a package of incentives to prod the company to reconsider the closure. The proposal, which would have made it easier to invest in and grow the Olean facility, included grants, tax credits, loans and other forms of financial assistance, such as energy efficiency and utility incentives from New York State Electric & Gas, the New York Power Authority and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
In recent months, the company also was lobbied by Young, Giglio, and U.S. Sens. Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand.
But it was not enough, said Turner, who added that they were "very aggressive in their efforts to get as many sources and incentives as possible."
"We believe that they did all that they could," he said. "Their dedication to providing Dal-Tile with an extremely comprehensive proposal in an very timely manner was very much appreciated, so that we could have the information needed to finalize the assessment and make a decision."

Sales taxes in more than 20 cities and counties across California went up Monday.
In Sacramento, sales taxes is set at 8.5 percent.
The Sacramento Bee reports municipalities from Carmel to Culver City are increasing their sales taxes anywhere from a quarter- to a half-cent on every dollar of sales as they seek to boost revenues.
Sacramento's increase -- from 8 to 8.5 percent -- is estimated to bring in an additional $28 million a year.
On a $1,000 refrigerator, for instance, the new Sacramento city rate will mean an extra $5 in sales taxes. For a $25,000 vehicle, that would come to an additional $125 in sales tax.

Sandra Bullock's Best Actress acceptance speech for The Blind Side was tearful, emotional and touching. But did it include hints that the star and then-husband Jesse James had adopted son Louis from New Orleans?
"I would like to thank what this film is about for me," Bullock said while collecting the award at the March 7 ceremony, "the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from. Those moms and parents never get thanked."
While The Blind Side is about a family that takes in a homeless boy (who goes on to become an NFL star), Bullock reflected on her own family, and thanked her late-mother, Helga. "[She reminded] her daughters that there's no race, no religion, no class system, no color, nothing, no sexual orientation that makes us better than anyone else. We are all deserving of love. That trailblazer ... allowed me to have that," Bullock said, sharing a knowing look with James, who was sitting in the audience.
It wasn't the first time the actress brought up the topic of family during awards season. Winning the Golden Globe for the same role in January, Bullock said, "A family is not just who you were born to, or what color you are. It's who's got your back."

Maui County has approved a grant for the Maui Axis Deer Harvesting Cooperative to manage the growing problem of axis deer on Maui, where the animals feed on farmers' crops, munch on cattle pasture grass and sometimes get hit by vehicles.
Cooperative board President Michael Tavares met with county officials Wednesday afternoon to present the organization's goals and procedures for solving the mounting problem.
"This grant will help with insurance costs, which are insane," Tavares said. "By the end of the year, I would like it to be fully self-sufficient, but our goal is not to be for-profit but a community involvement."
Article Photos
A deer grazes in Wailea in this photo taken in September 2009. The county has released $37,500 to the Maui Axis Deer Harvesting Cooperative, which hunts the invasive animal on private property to help control the deer population.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
The $37,500 grant, which was issued by the county Office of Economic Development in early October, was in response to a public outcry by local farmers, ranchers and landowners who have suffered property damages. However, the grant was put on hold because of county concerns about the group's internal disputes and a leadership change.
With the grant approved and the meeting a success, county Communications Director Rod Antone said that Mayor Alan Arakawa's office is eager to find a solution and hopes the grant may help the group.
Economic Development Director Teena Rasmussen said that the grant aims to study the feasibility of a venison project on Maui. Primary concerns for the project are for safety and creating a methodology for hunts inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, she said.
"We really wanted to find a group that was eager to help because if it's successful, it will lead to a new industry," she said. "We're very excited."
The group will be required to report its progress and findings to the office at least once a month.
Since its inception, the organization has removed more than 90 deer from private properties Upcountry, Tavares said. The game management hunts are approved by each landowner, at no cost to them. The deer are given to friends and families.
When the group approaches a landowner, officials ask where and how frequently they have seen deer on their properties. The team, consisting of a spotter, a shooter and a safety officer, then surveys the property and establishes proper hunting procedures and weapon choice. They also inform neighbors of the time and date of the hunt.
Hunters strictly use .22 magnum rifles or bows, aiming for head shots only. Tavares said every hunt is recorded and evaluated, with information on locations, dates and times of all deer removed.
The group has conducted only one USDA hunt, in November. It is awaiting the department's review of the hunt and formal protocols for future ones.
County agricultural specialist Kenneth Yamamura and Tavares said that, to their knowledge, creating a venison program has never happened before in the state.
"We're looking to set up protocols with the USDA," said Tavares. "We would like to avoid the term trial by error, but we realize this has never happened before."
There are possible difficulties in terms of the transportation of the animal to a slaughterhouse, considering some of the hunts can start as early as 3 a.m., said Yamamura. If the deer is not transported within two to three hours and hung at the slaughterhouse, the animal will experience rigor mortis. One solution, he said, could be a refrigerated truck that could properly store the deer before it is transported.
"Ideally, we would like the hunt to take less than three hours because I don't think we have the budget for a refrigerated truck," he said.
USDA officials on Oahu must also be notified two weeks in advance and are required to be present throughout the process - from the hunt to the slaughterhouse, said Yamamura.
He said that he will formalize more data on the issue so he can push the state to place an official on Maui. Tavares said that he hopes to begin USDA-inspected hunts within the next two months.
In the meantime, Yamamura said that the county could upgrade the Ukumehame Firing Range with a bowhunting facility, in order to better train hunters and increase safety.
Tavares, a certified National Rifle Association instructor as well as a veteran special forces soldier with stints in Iraq and Afghanistan, said that training procedures are extremely rigorous. The group has only 15 certified and qualified hunters, with many candidates failing the elite-level marksman proficiency exams. Tavares said that the group practices every week at the firing range but more hands-on training and safety precautions, especially at night, would help.
The axis deer is a South Asian deer that was first introduced to Molokai in the 1860s, but it was not released on Maui until 1959. Since then, the white-spotted animal has flourished with numbers possibly in the tens of thousands.
While Oahu, Molokai and Lanai have been overrun by axis deer for years, state and federal officials on the Big Island discovered the animals presence only in 2011. The Big Island Invasive Species Committee promptly hired hunters to manage the deer population, before it spirals out of control.
Maui Invasive Species Committee Manager Teya Penniman said that no one really knows how many deer are on Maui, but she cited a scenario analysis on growth rates conducted by a member of a management plan seeking to control the population.
According to available information and previous population estimates, from 2002 to 2003, there were approximately 1,000 to 4,000 deer, she said. Growth rates were estimated to be about 20 to 30 percent, concluding that the population could be anywhere from 4,300 to 42,000 on the Valley Isle.
"It's definitely a serious problem," she said.
Penniman said that it is interesting how the population has boomed over the past decade, considering it was introduced a half a century ago.
"Different invasive species have different impacts; some happen very quickly and some take a long time before you see any changes," she said. "With a lot of invasive species, you hit a certain space in population development, where all of a sudden everyone is aware of it."
Penniman said that herd sizes are generally on the smaller side but reports of 500 to 1,000 deer in a single herd have occurred.
"If they get into somebody's pasture, it's like a lawnmower," she said. "The deer come through and munch it to the ground, which causes farmers to reduce their cattle (herd) size."
The problem has exacerbated farmers' concerns about the island's ongoing drought.
Ulupalakua Ranch President Sumner Erdman said that the drought has reached "biblical proportions."
In conjunction with the National Weather Service, the ranch has recorded rainfall since 1925. In the months of October through December, the median rainfall is 7.2 inches, said Erdman, and there have been only four instances where they have had less than 2 inches of rainfall.
In 2012, reported rainfall was 0.2 inches.
Yamamura, who has farmed for more than 30 years, said that he sympathizes with farmers and ranchers on how difficult times have become.
"I didn't have to deal with deer till the past three years," he said. "There's no way they're being compensated for their losses. For my entire farming career I've never been compensated. . . . I feel for the farmers and ranchers."
Yamamura conducted a survey of farmers and ranchers from 2010-11 and found that axis deer had caused damage that exceeded $1 million, a number he said could be greater because not all farmers have reported their losses.
Tavares, whose parents own a farm in Kula, said that he grew up hunting and would routinely help farmers pull weeds and place fencing lines.
"I've been an Upcountry boy my entire life," he said. "The farmers have had essentially no help whatsoever, and we're trying to help them any way we can."
For more information, call Tavares at 269-4625 or send email to email@example.com.

The Skinnygirl mogul "sipped Patrón at a cocktail table in the bar area with a gentleman that looked to be in his mid-50s," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
But it was only "tequila and conversation" for the duo, who didn't order anything off the dinner menu.
Despite her very public split from husband Jason Hoppy, Frankel's spirits seemed high. "She was laughing and smiling and even took pictures with guests at the bar," the source adds.

Thanks to the Vereina Tunnel with its car transfer, the Lower Engadine can also quickly and safely be reached in the winter. The Lower Engadine, which is far from the large tourist destinations, remains a peaceful valley in contrast to the exclusive Upper Engadine. Scuol with its historical districts and the health and adventure spa of Bogn Engadina is the center of the Lower Engadine.
The village of Zernez, as "Gateway to the National Park", is the ideal starting point for voyages of discovery to Switzerland's largest nature reserve and its plethora of Alpine flora and fauna. Samnaun is the only customs-free oasis in Switzerland. The locality offers a variety of thematic trails in a pristine landscape in the summer. In the winter, it is popular because of the extensive common skiing arena with the Austrian Ischgl.
One can well enjoy the valley of the young Inn on foot, by bike or by raft. The hiking tour on the Engadine Mountain Trail "Via Engiadina" is over 60 kilometers from Maloja to Scuol. It runs along the sunny side of the Inn Valley and is on the section in the Lower Engadine regarded as one of the most beautiful hiking experiences in Switzerland. If you prefer to explore the Inn Valley on the saddle of a bicycle, choose the Inn Bicycle Trail, which begins in St. Moritz and ends in Budapest. Without a doubt, the wild water canyons of the Inn River are the best rafting stretches of the Alps from the end of May to the end of September.
The Lower Engadine is a paradise for inveterate mountain pass cyclists. In Susch, not far from Zernez begins the ascent to the Flüela Pass that at 2383 meters links the Lower Engadine with Davos. The Ofen Pass runs through the Swiss National Park to the Münster Valley, where the Umbrail Pass leads to the Stilfserjoch. An attractive day trip in the three-country-corner of Switzerland - Italy - Austria takes you through the Münster Valley to the Italian Vinschgau, via the Reschen Pass, and after a few kilometers through Austrian territory, you return to the Lower Engadine.
- Swiss National Park – largest protected area in Switzerland, it has a unique wealth of Alpine flora and fauna in the untouched mountain world of the Lower Engadine.
- Engadin Bad Scuol – the spa resort and sauna landscape with a magnificent view of the imposing mountain has Switzerland's first Roman-Irish baths.
- Samnaun – Switzerland's only customs-free oasis boasts a multifaceted landscape and a winter sports arena shared with Ischgl/A.
- Castle Tarasp – landmark of the lower Engadine, it is a picture-book castle built in the 11th century on a one-hundred-meter-high rock that dominates the landscape.
- Ancient villages such as Guarda, Sent and Ftan – picturesque villages with typical, richly decorated Engadine houses on the sunny side of the Lower Engadine.

Throughout Western New York, Nushawn Williams has been known for 16 years as a sexual predator who infected young women with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
But Williams, 36, appeared in State Supreme Court in Erie County on Tuesday to argue that he never had the virus.
His attorney, John R. Nuchereno, dropped the bombshell revelation Tuesday morning in a hearing before Justice John L. Michalski.
"He doesn't have HIV," Nuchereno said. "Now, it doesn't just go away, and it leads me to believe the victim in this case is right here. His liberty has been denied for 16 years."
Nuchereno had a sample of Williams' blood sent to the Core Electron Microscopy Facility at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, where an analysis showed no HIV, according to a report by Gregory Hendricks, a cell biologist and the facility manager.
In February 1999, Williams pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree (statutory) rape and one count of reckless endangerment for his Chautauqua County crimes. Authorities have said he infected at least 13 young Chautauqua County women, including one 13-year-old, with the virus that leads to AIDS.
After his plea, Williams, in an interview with a New York City television station, said he had slept with 200 to 300 young women before he was put behind bars.
Williams' 12-year prison term ended in April 2010, but he continues to be held in Wende State Correctional Facility under a state law that permits civil confinement of sex offenders. A trial had been scheduled for this summer in Chautauqua County to decide whether the state can prolong his confinement.
When his story broke in 1996, Nushawn Williams made headlines around the world. He was widely portrayed as a pariah, and Chautauqua County was thrust into the spotlight as an unlikely hotbed of sordid sexual activity and drug use among teens.
Tuesday's hearing brought the furor back to the forefront.
Chautauqua County Sheriff Joseph A. Gerace had trouble making sense of Williams' new claim in court.
"I think it's a desperate effort to try to get him released from custody," said Gerace, who has been sheriff since 1995. "I don't recall any claim that he wasn't HIV-positive. In fact, it was shown in court that he was HIV-positive and continued to have unprotected sex with girls as young as 13. That's what made it so heinous."
But Nuchereno said Williams wasn't made aware of the HIV test results until shortly before he was arrested and after the public was warned about him.
"He wasn't told. That's always been a major contention. It was never litigated," Nuchereno said.
Williams now goes by the name Shyteek Johnson, largely to shield himself from notoriety in prison, Nuchereno said.
"His name's been slandered across the country. He has been a target in the Department of Corrections. He's notorious," Nuchereno said after Tuesday's hearing.
Handcuffed and wearing green prison garments, Williams listened intently to the court deliberations.
Lawyers for the State Attorney General's Office questioned whether the blood sample was properly handled and whether the electron microscopy is a scientifically valid method for detecting HIV.
"It's sort of a Pandora's box at this point, this test," said Joseph Muia Jr., an assistant attorney general. "The information we have is that the electron microscope testing is not the gold standard, so to speak, of testing in this area."
Muia also suggested that with proper treatment, HIV-infected people can have their "viral loads" reduced to the point that the virus becomes undetectable.
"That may be what we have here," said Muia, who asked the judge to allow the state to draw Williams' blood and do more testing.
Assistant Attorney General Wendy R. Whiting reminded the judge that Williams admitted to his crimes, and medical experts are able to link people infected with HIV to a source of the infection.
"Links can be made that, at a minimum, many parties came up HIV-positive," Whiting said.
Nuchereno tried to cast doubt on those links.
"My concern with the victims is I don't know if they were even properly tested," he said. Back in 1996, HIV testing was still relatively new and potentially riddled with error, Nuchereno said. "It was the equivalent of taking a home pregnancy test," he said.
Williams' HIV-positive status stuck, even though the test wasn't confirmed, Nuchereno said.
"Everybody's just assumed it all along – and, most importantly, he even assumed it," he said. "He accepted those results. He stated, 'They must be true because the government told me that.' "
Muia said Williams was tested four times a year for HIV in prison, but when pressed by Michalski, the state's lawyers said they did not have documentation of such testing.
That's because it did not happen, Nuchereno said.
"They kept telling him, 'We're treating you, but we don't find any evidence of the virus,' " he said.
Williams stopped taking HIV medication in preparation for the electron microscopy, Nuchereno said. He has remained off of HIV drugs since discovering the results of the test in April.

|The ALS X-Ray Streak Camera: Bringing the Ultrafast and Ultrasmall into Focus
|Wednesday, 26 March 2008 00:00
Studying the world of the ultrasmall and the ultrafast is at the frontier of scientific research. Two x-ray approaches can be used for ultrafast examinations. The first entails developing sources that have short x-ray pulses such as free-electron lasers and slicing sources, which will provide the ultrafast temporal information. The other approach is to develop a detector that is fast enough to resolve the ultrafast details of the dynamical processes. ALS researchers are taking the second path but adding a spatial resolution capability; that is, they are developing a high-speed x-ray streak camera with high spatial resolution to watch, in real time, the motion of the atoms in materials. So far, a temporal resolution of 233 fs and a spatial resolution of 10 mm have been demonstrated. This is the first time that such a high temporal resolution has been combined with high spatial resolution in a streak camera.
A streak camera is a detector that resolves the intensity of a photon signal as a function of time and space. Such detectors have very desirable characteristics for ultrafast x-ray dynamic studies due to the fact that the system records the full temporal response of a sample in a single shot. In addition, they can be integrated into complex end stations on any beamline. The ALS streak camera consists of a photocathode, a pair of deflection plates, a magnetic solenoid lens, and a CCD detector. What makes this streak camera unique is the use of a carefully designed extraction-mesh and sweep plate for acceleration and streaking, which reduces the different aberrations both in static mode and dynamic mode. The sweep plates are driven by voltage ramps with a fast rise time through a GaAs photoconductive switch triggered by an infrared (IR) fs laser pulse. Pulse-to-pulse jitter in this system was reduced to less than 60 fs. Another key improvement is the use of a large-aperture magnetic solenoid lens design that sits downstream of the sweep plates to reduce field aberrations of the electron optics. The magnetic lens is operated outside the vacuum chamber, which has significantly reduced vacuum and thermal issues.
The performance of the ALS streak camera has been measured using 266 nm UV light from a Ti:sapphire fs laser. The spatial resolution in static mode is measured by imaging the anode mesh without voltage ramps on the deflection plates by adjusting the current of the magnetic lens. A 1500 line/inch Cu mesh can be clearly imaged in the static mode of this streak camera. The period of mesh is 16.6 mm, and an effective opening size is 11 mm separated by a 5.6-mm-wide wire. The range with good focus of the magnetic lens is projected to be +/–3.6 mm on the photocathode plane. An electron lens with a large field of view is required to realize the desired resolution.
For the dynamic mode, the ALS streak camera detector system can resolve two pulses separated by 233 fs with 10 mm spatial resolution with 1000 shots. The high resolutions in the temporal and spatial dimensions can be retained in a wide 53 ps temporal window. Furthermore, the focus current in this streak camera stayed unchanged for both the static and dynamic modes, revealing that the deflection dispersion is very small in the streak camera.
The latest improvement to the ALS streak camera is a built-in orthogonal sweep system. The updated system will be installed at an elliptically polarized undulator beamline at the ALS. This unique streak camera, with its bright synchrotron light source, is a powerful tool for the field of ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy of magnetic materials dynamics at subpicosecond temporal resolution. The next goal is to conduct x-ray probe experiments in reaction dynamics at the subfemtosecond resolution.
Research conducted by J. Feng, H.J. Shin, K. Engelhorn, J.R. Nasiatka, A.T. Young, A. Comin, H.A. Padmore (ALS); W. Wan, G. Huang, J. Byrd (Accelerator and Fusion Research Division, Berkely Lab).

Revered for her generous charity work but sometimes controversial for her turbulent personal life, the three-time Oscar honoree, fragrance and jewelry mogul and tenacious AIDS activist possessed many talents, including a remarkable gift for self-appraisal.
Just before turning 60 in 1992, she summed herself up for Life magazine, saying: "I've been lucky all my life. Everything was handed to me: looks, fame, wealth, honors, love. But I've paid for that luck with disasters. Terrible illnesses, destructive addictions, broken marriages."
Eight marriages, in fact – though she was quoted as saying the two great loves of her life were producer Michael Todd (husband No. 3) and actor Richard Burton (Nos. 5 and 6, given that they remarried, albeit briefly the second time).
Timid Father, Pushy Mother
Splash News Online; inset: Jon Carrasco
Pushed by Sara, young Elizabeth made her movie debut in 1942's There's One Born Every Minute, and appeared with lifelong friend Roddy McDowall in 1943's Lassie Come Home. But it was 1944's National Velvet, with Mickey Rooney, that brought her stardom at age 12. Not only was she a natural before the camera, but also, even then, Technicolor – and movie audiences – just couldn't get enough of her remarkable violet-colored eyes.
A string of movies followed (such as 1946's Courage of Lassie and 1949's Little Women), but critics still were not impressed – a fact she would have to contend with to varying degrees throughout her career. (Taylor once told Johnny Carson that she'd been given a preview of some of her obituaries, "and they were the best reviews I'd ever gotten.")
Her first recognition as a serious screen presence, however, came with 1951's A Place in the Sun, in which she costarred with Montgomery Clift, who also would become a close friend. The drama, regarded as one of the best ever made in Hollywood, was a showcase for Taylor's erotic power as well as her maternal strength, even at her tender teen age. Her white party gown in the movie also inspired an entire generation of high-school prom dresses.

Gorgeously made, comfortable to wear!
By BirdyB
from Northeast
Comments about Levenger Carezza On-the-Town Pouch:
First off, I should state that I do not have a cell phone, so I have no knowledge about whether or not a particular model will fit. Sorry.That said... it certainly serves my needs. There are many times when all I want or need to carry is some cash, my keys, a credit card or two (note: I put those in RIFD sleeves for security), and a tissue, and this little purse couldn't be more perfect for that. I have spine, neck, and shoulder trouble, but the thin strap and light weight make it comfortable for cross-body wear. The zipped top is very secure. The strap, by the way, is completely sewn on, with no lobster-clasp-style fastenings to accidentally come unhooked. This means that you can't remove it to use the purse as a hand-held clutch, so you'll have to decide if it's something that matters to you.The styling is beautiful, reminiscent of an old-fashioned framed change purse. I'm usually into Levenger's big bags, but I've adored the On The Town Pouch ever since I first saw it, and if it came in colors like garnet or deep blue or oxblood, I'd buy it in multiples.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Functional, iPhone 6 fits in this one
By aroundMiami
from Miami Beach, FL
I used (and abused) the 'Carezza Two-Strap Smart Phone Case' for more than 3 years. I like to go everywhere light and hate the hassle of big bags and wallets. I recently upgraded to the iPhone 6 and regrettably that model has no use for me anymore. I wanted to go for a 'style change' and decided to try this one. The On-The-Town Pouch has the following pros: 1) as you guessed, I can fit my new iPhone in this one, with a ultra-slim cover EVEN THOUGH it is marketed for the iPhone 5 only; 2) it is larger, so I have space to fit car keys (which I used to hang with a clip to the other one) and a chap stick and probably more stuff!. Cons: 1) No stash pockets for ID and credit cards (beh!) so I just got a slim wallet for that purpose; 2) No pen sleeve. All in all, I think this new purchase will make me happy again and I will use it (and abuse it) as I once did with the previous one.

Wonderful little purse!
By PurseQueen
I have been looking for a little purse like this for years! I love the quality, the eggplant color, the shape, the white stitching and everything else about it. My iPhone 4S, (in an Otter Box Commuter Case), fits either standing up or laying on its side. My little Vera Bradley Clip Zip ID wallet has the same rounded shape on the bottom and fits perfectly beside the iPhone. My reading glasses go on top. I still have room for chapstick and keys! It is a very tiny purse but with the gathered sides at the bottom, it has more room inside than flat purses of this size. Good job Levenger!
By PickyPenelope
Looked at this for a long time before ordering, when I finally did , black was unavailable, but happy with the plum; more muted than it appears on line, lovely quality, perfect size for my IPhone 5, keys, card and money. Wanted a secure, unobtrusive shoulder wallet for dressier functions and this is just perfect.

Dear Abby: I recently married a loving man who works full time and is studying for his MBA online. A few months ago, he received a promotion and was transferred to another state, so after our wedding I moved here to be with him.
While he was living here alone before our wedding, he got into some trouble with the law and he's now on probation. He was never in trouble before. I have no family or friends here, and he can't go out and socialize to meet new people now that he's under those strict guidelines.
I have always been popular and have many friends back home, but I'm lonely and depressed now. I moved here because I love him, but I can't get over the fact that this has dampened our first year as husband and wife. How should I handle the future of our marriage and our life here with all these unsettling issues he has put me in?
– Hurt Wife In Michigan
Dear Hurt Wife: Unless your husband is under house arrest – which probation is not – he can socialize. He can make friends through work, and look for volunteer opportunities if he has the time. Both will help him to make connections with constructive people. The same is true for you to help you connect with the community.
I know this is a big adjustment for you, but in time you can both put this unfortunate chapter behind you.
Stuck with dress cost
Dear Abby: My daughter was a bridesmaid recently. The bride chose a designer dress that my daughter had to put a nonrefundable deposit on. A month later, the bride changed her mind about the color and canceled the order, so all six bridesmaids had to purchase another dress. Am I wrong in thinking the bride should reimburse her bridesmaids for the first dress that she insisted they buy ASAP – the one she canceled without talking to any of them?
– Bridesmaid's Mom in Elkhorn, Wis.
Dear Bridesmaid's Mom: Not in my book you aren't. And shame on the bride for not volunteering to do so.

Charleston County Government announces that EMS paramedic Matt Adams placed first in a written competition among his peers from other agencies in South Carolina and North Carolina. Adams, who has been with the County's EMS for five years, took the top honor at the 17th Annual Carolina Competition on Oct. 25 and 26 in Jacksonville, N.C.
The written competition is a 75-question, multiple choice exam that must be completed in 45 minutes. Questions cover anatomy, physiology, cardiology, medication calculations and treatments regarding specific disease processes.
"It was an honor to be recognized among so many experienced health care professionals," said Adams, who grew up on James Island and now resides on Johns Island. "I have always enjoyed the opportunity to challenge myself. While paramedics utilize this information every day, competitions like this provide us the chance to refine our strengths and improve upon our weaknesses."
While the written test is an optional part of the competition, this year's event saw 100 percent participation for only the second time in its 17-year history. Certifications among the 18 competitors range from Advanced EMT's to Critical Care Paramedics.
"The written exam is extremely challenging and optional, so not many attempt it. Matt was Charleston County's first paramedic to try, so we are thrilled that he came in first," said Don Lundy, Charleston County EMS Director.
This isn't the first time Charleston County EMS proved successful during the competition. The department won the skills competition in 1997 and 2007, and has placed in the top four teams six times since the competition began.
"The Carolina Competition has become the yardstick by which all other E.M.S. Competitions are measured, as is evidenced by the numerous team entries from both of the Carolinas," Lundy said. "A challenging, thought-provoking, fair experience for all team members is guaranteed and provides an excellent learning opportunity."

Silk is a fabric that makes its own statement. It is beautifully elegant and luxurious and feels incredibly soft and sensual. We use a higher than average "thread count" for our silk (19mm) so it looks richer, fits more beautifully, and feels even more indulgent. Best of all, it is relatively easy to care for and with good care will last, well, longer than most of us!
A well-fitting bra isn't the only key to happiness but it sure helps! And it only takes three steps, so shall we?
Voila! You are on your way to a happier day!

Crime was on the minds of concerned residents at Thursday evenings monthly neighborhood watch meeting with Officer Steve Meadows of the Moncks Corner Police Department.
About two dozen people gathered with Meadows, the departments neighborhood watch coordinator, and Lt. Mark Fields, patrol division manager, to discuss crime trends in town and some of the surrounding areas.
Meadows said there has been an increase in burglaries and larcenies from last month, but year-to-date numbers are on par with 2013, with a slight decrease in burglaries compared to the same time last year.
Meadows stressed the importance of having extra eyes and ears watching for illegal activity.
Were a small department with limited resources, so input from the community helps. We want you to tell us if you see something that doesnt belong (in your neighborhood).
But thieves can be very clever, Meadows warned, even if neighbors are diligent. He told the story of a woman whose house was robbed of everything down to the floor coverings in broad daylight.
A neighbor saw a rented truck backed up to the house and a crew emptying it of its contents. One of the thieves came to the neighbors door to present a fake business card and tell how the woman had come into a big inheritance and was buying all new furnishings. He even asked the neighbor to watch the house while he and his crew went to lunch.
They never returned and were not caught, Meadows said.
He stressed the importance of calling police even if it is unclear whether or not a crime is being committed.
Dont think youre bothering us with something little, he said. Ninety percent of our calls end up being nothing. Thats why were here, not just to lock people up, but to make sure youre safe.
The neighborhood watch meetings are held monthly at the municipal complex, 118 Carolina Ave. Contact Officer Meadows at 719-7933 or at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

UNIVERSITY PARK- Penn State coach Bill O'Brien knows he has some NFL caliber players on his roster, and he wants to give them every opportunity to be seen by the next level.
O'Brien allows NFL scouts to watch Penn State's practices. Every other Wednesday scouts from numerous NFL teams line the sideline during the team's practice. This Wednesday's practice featured scouts from the Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, among others.
"I think we owe it to our players here that we give them an opportunity to be seen by the next level," O'Brien said of allowing scouts to come watch practice.
The coach said representatives from every NFL organization have made to trip to State College this year to scout potential prospects.
Scouts set up an appointment to come to Penn State by contacting Nittany Lion assistant coach Elijah Robinson.
O'Brien said the NFL relationships he's made while with the New England Patriots have allowed him to set up times for some scouts to come to practice on another day if they cannot make a Wednesday practice.
Allowing scouts into practice is part of the new era of Penn State football. Joe Paterno was notorious for his closed practice sessions, and he did not allow scouts in to see practice.
O'Brien wants to have a more open policy so he can do whatever possible to give his current players a chance to play in the NFL.
"It is very important because you have a chance to go to practice and see them interact with their teammates, maybe do some different things during practice that they haven't done in a game," the coach said on the importance of scouts seeing players in practice mode.
Penn State has a few players on its roster that could be drafted in this year's NFL Draft, like linebackers Gerald Hodges and Michael Mauti.
Hodges said seeing the scouts lining the practice field dressed in their own team's apparel does not affect the way he practices or put added pressure on him to perform.
"You never really know if they're watching you or not," he said. "If you're out there, you're out there to practice. I'm not out there to impress any scouts."
Defensive tackle Jordan Hill admitted that it is sometimes hard to resist the temptation of looking over at the scouts and wondering what they are writing down on their notepads. Hill said while he is cognizant that scouts are there, he has to put it aside and focus.
Much like when college coaches attend a high school game or practice to look at a potential recruit, offensive line coach Mac McWhorter said he sees the practice tempo and intensity pick up when the scouts attend.
McWhorter said allowing scouts into practice helps increase the players' visibility and helps make up for the exposure the players lose by not being able to play in a bowl game.
"We are trying to sell that our program is one with a pro-style offense, pro-style defense, and we will certainly prepare you for the next level if you are good enough to play there," McWhorter said.
Quarterback Matt McGloin said he barely even notices the scouts at practice.
"Whether there's NFL scouts or not, that doesn't really determine how hard you practice," McGloin said. "I'm going to practice as hard as I can each and every day regardless of who's watching."
Having scouts visible at practice also allows O'Brien to use it as part of his sales pitch to potential recruits. He said he is able to tell high school players that in addition to playing on national television, they will be seen in practice by NFL scouts.
O'Brien said it was important for the scouts in New England to be able to come to college practices and observe players interacting with their teammates and coaches.
Penn State is one of many programs that allow scouts in, but O'Brien believes it can still work to his advantage in recruiting.
"I do think it helps when kids know that if you come to Penn State, if you play well and you produce on the field," the coach said. "You're going to be seen at practice and at games and you're going to have a chance."

WASHINGTON – Chris Collins will start his congressional career by serving on the House Agriculture and Small Business committees, the former Erie County executive announced Thursday.
"These two committee assignments make perfect sense as I look to bring my real-world experience to Washington and represent the needs and concerns of New York's 27th Congressional District," Collins, a longtime small-business owner who will represent a largely rural and suburban district, said in a statement.
The Clarence Republican could not be reached to comment further, but his spokesman, Grant Loomis, said the newly elected lawmaker did not request specific committee assignments.
That's a rarity in the House of Representatives, where first-term lawmakers often shoot for a plum assignment on a prominent committee – such as Ways and Means or Energy and Commerce – and end up disappointed.
"He knew that all the freshmen are at the low end of the totem pole," Loomis explained.
While neither of the committees to which Collins was assigned is considered among the top level in the House, the Agriculture Committee in particular has important responsibilities.
With its Senate counterpart, it passes multi-year farm bills that, in essence, stabilize the prices Americans pay for food and develop programs aimed at helping farmers, who work in a notoriously volatile industry. The Agriculture Committee also has jurisdiction over the food stamp program.
Given that Congress is mired in a stalemate over drawing up a new farm bill to replace the one that expired Sept. 30, a committee-level debate on the farm bill could be one of the first orders of business Collins faces after taking office.
"Throughout the campaign, I visited with dozens of crop and dairy farmers who shared with me their daily struggles of trying to run efficient, profitable farms despite the regulations and burdensome bureaucracy coming out of Washington," Collins said. "One of my very top goals as a member of Congress will be to help farmers have a legal and reliable labor force by pushing for much-needed improvements to our nation's guest worker program."
The Small Business Committee – once headed by then-Rep. John J. LaFalce, D-Town of Tonawanda – has jurisdiction over the Small Business Administration, but its influence on business and economic issues pales in comparison with the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee and the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees broad swaths of the American economy.
Nevertheless, Collins said he was happy to be serving on the Small Business Committee.
"Being a member of Congress may be new to me, but I've spent my entire adult life in the small-business world," said Collins. "Small business is the backbone of our economy, and as this country continues to climb out of the devastating recession, the federal government needs to focus on making it easier for small businesses to grow and thrive, instead of harder."
Collins will be sworn in as a member of the House on Jan. 3 after defeating Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul, D-Hamburg, in November's election.
Hochul serves on the Armed Services and Homeland Security committees.

YORKSHIRE – Voters in the Pioneer Central School District on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a $31 million capital project that will build a 10-classroom science addition at the high school. The margin was 496-148. The new space will meet state requirements for classroom sizes and equipment. The current science classrooms will be renovated for use by the music department, providing separate rehearsal classrooms for orchestra, band and chorus, and more room for instrument storage and practice space.
Four other science classrooms in the high school will be turned into special-education classrooms. An addition to the agriculture barn/center on the high school grounds will house a portable sawmill owned by the department.
The project also will replace primary electric service for the high school and middle school campus, and remove a 500-gallon underground diesel fuel storage tank at the north end of the high school grounds.
The plan also includes renovations to the third floor of Arcade Elementary School, parts of which date back more than 80 years. All third-floor classrooms and restrooms will be gutted and reshaped, and get new ceilings, flooring, lights, ventilating systems, cabinets and paint.

The coaching staff have said there is nothing wrong with him and Kyle has stated that as well. But less
than 5 mins in what was a big game by one of our tradeline signings is telling me all is not what it seem's.
He never even saw the ice in the 3rd, has Babs lost confiedence in him or is that hand being proteceted
and given more rest before fridays game? If Kyle has an injury I would sooner us use a fit Rex until he is
ok to go. I understand giving a rookie less than 5 mins in a big playoff game but its got me puzzled with Calder,
thats now less than 16mins in the last 3 games, Rex was given just under 30 mins in 3 vSJ, maybe we may see
a roster change on Fri?

Counterinsurgency, the War on Terror, and the Laws of War
Ganesh Sitaraman
Vanderbilt Law School
95 Virginia Law Review 1745 (2009)
Since the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, military strategists, historians, soldiers, and policymakers have made counterinsurgency's principles and paradoxes second nature, and they now expect that counterinsurgency operations will be the likely wars of the future. Yet despite counterinsurgency's ubiquity in military and policy circles, legal scholars have almost completely ignored it. This Article evaluates the laws of war in light of modern counterinsurgency strategy. It shows that the laws of war are premised on a kill-capture strategic foundation that does not apply in counterinsurgency, which follows a win-the-population strategy. The result is that the laws of war are disconnected from military realities in multiple areas - from the use of non-lethal weapons to occupation law. It also argues that the war on terror legal debate has been myopic. The shift from a kill-capture to win-the-population strategy not only expands the set of topics legal scholars interested in contemporary conflict must address but also requires incorporating the strategic foundations of counterinsurgency when considering familiar topics in the war on terror legal debates.

The Adjudication that Ate Arizona Water Law
Joseph M. Feller
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Arizona Law Review, Vol. 49, p. 405, 2007
This article traces the expansive and expensive contours of the Gila River Adjudication (the Adjudication) begun in 1974 to remedy depletions of the Verde River, a tributary of the Salt River, to which Salt River Project (SRP) and its members possess rights as senior appropriators on the Salt River. The Adjudication is the largest, longest, and one of the most expensive judicial proceedings in the history of Arizona, and is one of the most complex judicial proceedings in the United States. While originally intended to determine all water rights in one proceeding, the Adjudication's length caused SRP, within the Adjudication, to resort to piecemeal litigation against individual infringers. This article considers the role of the Gila River and its tributaries in Arizona's water supply, the key developments in Arizona water law behind the Gila River Adjudication, the history of the Adjudication and the consequent litigation and legislation, the prospects for the Adjudication's completion, the Adjudication's negative effect on water rights enforcement, and the recent motions for interim relief filed by SRP in 2004. It concludes by evaluating whether a comprehensive general stream adjudication is an efficient means of determining water rights and suggests an alternative mechanism, based on Colorado's system of 'rolling' water adjudications, for determining and enforcing water rights in Arizona and the proposed relationship to Indian reserved water rights claims.
