The Stetson football team opened training camp for the 2014 season on Saturday with conditioning tests, and then came back on Sunday evening with their first full practice session.
Sunday's spirited practice lasted three hours and gave the coaches returning to the staff and indication of just how far the program has come.
Head coach Roger Hughes said that he wasn't all that pleased with the results of the conditioning tests on Saturday, but that the team responded well. He also said that the returning players have come a long way from where they were at this time one year ago.
"If you had asked me yesterday, I would have said that our conditioning was very poor," Hughes said. "Part of that is because the freshmen didn't know how to run the test, and that makes is look a lot worse than it really is.
"We had more than half that passed the test. Maybe just over a third didn't pass, and about half of that number was freshmen. We were better than we were last year and, as a coach, you have to remember where we started from."
Even with the improved physical condition of the team, there were a few early rough edges that had to be worked out early in Sunday's session, especially for the defense.
Defensive coordinator Bryan Young said that he had cell phones go off twice during a pre-practice meeting and that another player forgot his playbook in the cafeteria. The result was the entire defense performing a sustained series of up-downs early in practice.
The Hatters have designed their early practices to give the new players some time early to get acclimated while allowing the returning players time at the end to work through fatigue. Hughes said the idea is to give those new players time so that the coaches can assess them.
"I really like the athleticism of the freshmen," Hughes said. "It is hard to really assess what their value is going to be until they figure out what is going on. Right now they are thinking too much for their athleticism to take over. These first five to nine days we are going to get them acclimated to terminology and the schemes so that we can give them a chance to compete for a position."
While the younger players get accustomed to life at Stetson, the older players came in ready to hit the ground running.
"The returning guys have been outstanding," Hughes said. "We have been able to pick up right where we left off and that is one of the reasons that I think the tempo at practice was so good. We are not thinking, we are moving.
"As a team, I think we realize that we have a lot of work to do and tonight they came out and embraced the hard-hat, lunch-pail attitude and got after it. I feel a lot better tonight than I did last night, but I think it is going to be a series of baby steps as we go forward."
In addition to welcoming a host of new players to the current roster of 117, the Hatters also have a handful of new coaches who are having to learn their way around for the first time.
"It has been a unique deal for us, but I am really pleased with the quality of the coaching staff that we have put together," Hughes said. "What they may not have in experience with our offense and defense, they make up for in enthusiasm and energy. I am confident that we are going to get where we need to go."
Three of the newest Stetson coaches have some significant college and professional coaching experience under their belts, but the two more recent additions to the staff – tight ends coach Jake Behrns and defensive backs coach Jake Iodence – are not much older than some of the players they will be coaching.
"There will be a lot of coaching the coaches this year, but we will get to shape them the way we want to," Hughes said. "It also gives us coaches with experience here a refreshing look at things because if the new coaches are having a hard time with our play book and how much we are putting in, then maybe that is the reason the players are struggling. They will give us a good barometer to know how fast we need to be moving with things."
Practices will continue this week with sessions on Monday and Tuesday at 7 p.m. and Wednesday at 2 p.m. prior to the first of three scheduled two-a-days on Thursday. All practice sessions are open to the public.
The Hatters travel to face Warner University in Lakeland on August 30 in the 2014 season-opener. The home-opener is scheduled for the following week, against Florida Tech, at 7 p.m. on Sept. 6.
Season tickets for Stetson's six home games at Spec Martin Memorial Stadium, "The Best Little Stadium in College Football", are available for as little as $90 through the Stetson Athletics Ticket Office. The office is located inside the Edmunds Center on Pennsylvania Avenue and is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
Season tickets can also be purchased by calling 386-738-HATS (4287) or by visiting www.GoHatters.com/tix.

Police confirmed late Friday that a credit card belonging to a slain Norman man was used, after his death, at a local business.
Norman police also issued photos of four people of interest in the death of Patrick D. Burton, 51. Burton was found dead inside a burning home on Villa Drive earlier this week. The Oklahoma medical examiner determined that Burton had been shot in the head before his house was set on fire.
Since that time, Burton's credit cards have been used. Police confirmed they were used at Riverwind Casino.
If anybody recognizes the people in the photos, please call the Norman Police Department at 405-321-1600 or 405-321-1444.

China's Conba Pharmaceutical negotiated a license to develop and commercialize Evotec's early clinical-stage anti-inflammatory candidate EVT 401 in China. The deal covers all indications except ophthalmological, COPD, and endometriosis. Evotec will receive a small up-front fee plus potential milestones of over €60 million and double-digit royalties on net sales. The firm will in addition have access to clinical data generated by Conba to support development of EVT 401 in other markets.
EVT 401 is small molecule antagonist of the P2X7 receptor, an ATP-gated ion channel expressed on immune system cells. It is thought to play a key role in regulating the release of proinflammatory cytokines, Evotec notes. The candidate has completed an initial Phase I study in healthy volunteers, which demonstrated the ability of EVT 401 to block ATP-stimulated IL-1β release.
"We are very pleased to partner with Conba, a leading Chinese pharmaceutical company, to tap into the Chinese market for inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis," comments Wener Lanthaler, Ph.D., Evotec's CEO. "This partnership will also increase the value of the P2X7 program worldwide."

Nikkei's 23% Gain for 2012 Is Best Since 2005
TOKYO—Japan's stocks closed out 2012 with the seventh gain in nine sessions, and the Nikkei Stock Average logged a 23% climb for the year, its biggest percentage rise since 2005.
With a 10% surge since the start of the month, including a 0.7% gain on Friday, the benchmark index ended the year at 10395.18, its highest closing level since March 10, 2011, the day before a powerful earthquake and tsunami struck the northeast region of the country. It also is the first full-year rise in three years.
A steadily weakening yen and persistent interest from foreign investors have been key to the gains, as players hold out hope that the new Liberal Democratic Party of Japan leadership will be able to engineer an end to deflation and put the nation on a path to economic recovery.
Political rhetoric and fervent hopes have seen the yen fall from its perch over the last six weeks, losing more than 8% against the dollar and more than 12% against the euro.
"Overseas investors continue to key on the falling yen," said Mitsushige Akino, chief fund manager at Ichiyoshi Investment Management. "Not many expected the market to rise this far this fast toward year-end, forcing a lot of short-covering as well."
A weak yen is key for Japan's important export industry to survive. With global central banks embarking on robust monetary easing policies over the last few years to avert a global financial industry collapse, the Japanese currency has surged against the dollar and the euro in recent years. That encouraged many investors to trim their holdings of Japanese stocks, and the Nikkei lost 3% in 2010 and 17% in 2011. It remains down 40% from end-2006.
The Bank of Japan embarked on more easing steps in the first quarter, pushing the yen down and the Nikkei through 10000. But subsequent worries about Europe's financial health, as well as robust loosening from the U.S. Federal Reserve, sent the dollar plunging anew and the yen rising.
The currency began a noticeable reversal in mid-November, when snap elections were called for the lower house of parliament. The unpopular Democratic Party of Japan was swept from power a month later, putting the LDP back at the controls with an overwhelming mandate for change.
LDP leader and now Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been pushing for more aggressive central-bank policy, including a 2% inflation target; the country continues to fight deflation, and the central bank has a 1% inflation goal. Armed with the ability to nominate a new Bank of Japan governor next year, investors see this goal as having a fighting chance to actually succeed.
"Hopes for looser central bank policy and a weaker yen remain firm," said Hiroichi Nishi, general manager of equities at SMBC Nikko Securities. "The stalled U.S. budget talks remain a focus of attention, but players are not willing to let a good Japan trade opportunity go to waste."
Exporters and financial shares have seen stout bidding ever since, in what has become an pattern over the last several weeks. Bellwethers such as Honda Motor and Canon have jumped 33% and 37%, respectively, while megabank Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Nomura Holdings, NMR 1.83 % and retail lender Aiful Corp. AIFLY -2.47 % have surged 31%, 78%, and 144% over the same period.
"Despite their recent run-ups, some of these shares should continue to benefit from more foreign exposure into next year," said Naoki Fujiwara, fund manager at Shinkin Asset Management. "But we'll need to see some follow through on policy goal rhetoric from the county's leadership to avoid a reversal."
Among other Asian markets Friday, the Shanghai Composite index resumed its December rally, climbing 1.5% on its second-to-last trading day of the year to close at 2233.25. The index has now rallied almost 15% from its closing low of the year, set Dec. 3.
Helping to boost stock prices is an inflow of foreign money via the qualified foreign investor program known as QFII and money from the country's social security fund, analysts say.
Investors are also pricing in improved manufacturing data as well as expectations that a backlog of initial public offerings will ease as companies cancel listing plans or consider listing abroad, relieving supply pressure on the A share market, said Deng Wenyuan, an analyst with Soochow Securities. 601555 0.31 %
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index rose 0.2% to 22666.59. Trading remained focused on stocks that are expected to benefit from the continued strength in stocks listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen.
That included mainland brokers; Haitong Securities 600837 -0.56 % jumped 6.9% and Citic Securities 600030 -0.25 % surged 11%. Both stocks hit fresh 52-week highs Friday, and have rallied more than 30% from their lows in early December.

esta super!
ASSP is by far the best open source anti-spam solution available. Setup can be a bit challenging unless you are experienced with Linux and mail servers. Since implementing ASSP I have pretty much forgotten what spam looks like since I never see it. Thank you Thomas & the rest of the ASSP Team!!!! This project is so good I have, and will continue to donate to it.
After a long time of using and heavy fighting with ASSP I removed it from my server, what a relief! It might be a good anti-spam solution in theory but it has 3 big issues: 1. Extremely hard to set up and maintain. 2. Still full of bugs and crashes. 3. Extremely bad support. Of course it's free but there's almost no help at all. A dead user forum and a mailing list which doesn't really help much because the owner is not really happy to help. :( --- Fortunately I found a solution which is also free but works like a charm. Extremely easy to install and to set up. And it filters much more spam than ASSP. I don't want to place a link here for that company, just google for "FRAMS".
ASSP is a great product with many useful options. Actually I can't think of anything missing when it comes to features. Speed and and resource usage are also great, never had any issues with the system. The only downside is the webinterface. It is hard to navigate and find the correct option even for a long time user. Also the menu doesn't work properly in firefox.

GIRARD - A truck driver apologized to a judge before he was sentenced to 90 days of electronically monitored house arrest and fined $500 Monday.
Eugene White, 65, pleaded no contest in October to three counts of vehicular homicide in a 2010 crash on Interstate 80 in Hubbard Township that killed a Warren woman and her siblings.
White, of Shilo, also was placed on five years' probation and had his driver's license suspended for the same period.

His semi rear-ended a 2007 Ford Explorer on May 24, 2010, in a construction zone in the eastbound lane of I-80, pushing the SUV into a FedEx truck.
Killed were Shirley Gilmore, 65, of Warren, the driver of the Explorer that was carrying her brother and sister, David Westenfelder, 56, and Wendy Frost, 59, both of Surprise, Ariz. Gilmore was taking her family back to the Pittsburgh airport after celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary.
The highway was closed for nearly six hours after the SUV was sandwiched between the two trucks.

Girard Municipal Judge Jeff Adler heard victim impact statements from three members of the same family who explained about losing three loved ones.
''I'm not happy with this situation,'' said Larry Gilmore, Shirley Gilmore's husband. ''I would just like to ask Eugene White what he was doing when he pulled up and traffic was stopped like that. He didn't stop. He didn't turn off the highway. She (Shirley) was the main person in this family ... the one we needed the most.''
Gilmore, a former Warren police officer, said a lawsuit is planned against the Ohio Department of Transportation, which established the construction zone. Another lawsuit against the trucking company White was driving for has been settled.
''Our grandmother was the rock of our family. She was an inspiration to all, a failure to none, and could brighten your day when she couldn't even brighten her own,'' said Courtnie Clark, granddaughter of Shirley Gilmore.
''The careless actions of Eugene White changed this family forever. Driving an 80,000-pound weapon on a familiar route with clear visibility, he failed miserably to take any evasive action, crushing my family to death,'' said Shirley Gilmore's daughter Janice, a police captain in Warren.
''Your honor, I understand this system. My family has worked with it for over 50 years. But it certainly leaves us extremely disheartened and with little remaining confidence. I do not feel sorry for Eugene White. I understand you cannot give us back our family or ease this sorrow from our heart. We do ask that you hold Eugene White accountable for the decision he made,'' Janice Gilmore said.
The vehicular homicide charges alleged negligence on the part of White. The maximum penalty for a first-degree misdemeanor was 180 days and the potential of having his license suspended for 2 to 10 years.
The charges from a grand jury contained no aggravated specifications such as alcohol, drugs or excessive speed, which could have resulted in felony charges. Instead, White was cited with failing to maintain assured clear distance.
White's attorney, Sam Amendolara, pointed out that his client has faithfully worked for the same company for 21 years and had earned a 1 million mile safe driving award.
''He's just an ordinary man, delivering frozen hamburger to McDonald's Restaurants,'' Amendolara said, explaining that the stretch of highway in Hubbard Township was the scene of 10 crashes during the first half of 2010, including five during the month of May when the construction zone was in place between mile marker 231 and 235.
The same stretch of roadway averages 54 accidents a year, Amendolara said.

Chemical leak prompts partial evacuation at hospital
Hazmat crews called to Midwest Regional Medical Center
UPDATED 7:45 PM CST Dec 18, 2012
The all-clear has been given at a Midwest City hospital after a chemical leak, fire officials say.
A hazardous materials crew was called to the Midwest Regional Medical Center, fire officials said. The hospital is located at 2825 Parklawn Drive in Midwest City.
Authorities said the chemical leaking was ethylene oxide, which is used for sterilization. The leak was near an operating room and only that part of the hospital was affected.

4 More wells test positive for contamination in Jackson
DNR: Contamination result of gas pipeline spill
Published 11:03 PM CST Jan 28, 2013
Four more wells are contaminated in Washington County, according to the Department of Natural Resources.
A total of 17 wells now have elevated levels of benzene.
A pipeline ruptured last summer in the Town of Jackson spilling 55,000 gallons of gasoline.
Residents have not been able to use their well water since.
There is a class-action lawsuit against Westshore, the owner of the pipeline.

Altoona Area school board President Ryan Beers is not opting for a second term in 2014.
"It was a family decision," he said.
If he would serve on the board for another four years, then his son would be 6 years old by the time that term would end.
Currently, the pharmaceutical salesman often arrives home late from school board meetings that follow his work day, meaning he sees his wife, Shelly, in passing and his son is often already asleep.
The Altoona Area board has been spending more than 20 hours per week in meetings. He spent his 29th birthday on Feb. 6 interviewing superintendent candidates.
There have also been early mornings, weekends and late nights spent at the dinner table scouring lists of administrative salaries obtained from the district, then comparing increases shown on those lists with rates listed in the employees' contract. For each salary showing an increase above that rate, he pored over board meeting minutes to ensure the board did not approve a promotion or did not authorize some kind of spending of funds and organized the information in a spread sheet.
"I don't know how this is going to turn out, but there were clearly discrepancies in what I found. That's why I asked [school district] attorney [Dave] Andrews to look at this further and give the board a ruling on where to go," he said.
In January, Beers made his research public at a school board meeting, inquiring about at least six administrative salary increases amounting to tens of thousands of dollars that seemed to have been given through the superintendent's office.
When the school board meets, it doesn't discuss the subsequent investigations launched by Andrews and the Auditor General's Office, board member Skip Dry said.
"We talk about what we need to do about providing education to the kids, upkeep of the buildings. We don't talk about the investigations," he said.
Superintendent Dennis Murray hired an attorney after Beers questioned the increases.
"The solicitor has asked to interview him. There are things being said about his reputation. He may have claims of his own," Murray's attorney Efrem Grail of Pittsburgh said Friday explaining why Murray hired an attorney.
He declined to say whether Murray had claims and what kind of claims they may be.
"I'm not going to talk about those," he said.
Grail added that he believes Murray is owed an apology.
Board member Dick Lockard, who has worked with Murray for 28 years on the board, said the board is neutral on the issue.
"We can't take sides," he said. "I have to get results back from the auditor general and the solicitor. It is the board's responsibility to listen to them and take direction after that."
Beers' questioning of salary increases was not the first time he stood alone in opposition to Murray. He has made waves on the board since he was elected in 2009.
In 2010, he not only cast the only vote opposing a 2.88-mill tax increase for the 2010-11 school year, he provided a page of reasons to defend his vote.
"That's where we got into a bit of an issue. At the time it was shocking because that wasn't normal practice," he said. "I think on a board and locally and as a society, we have to get away from trying to silence people we don't agree with.
"The most important speech is coming from those who you don't agree with. That's the one you have to defend," he said.
The increase was approved, raising the average property tax bill by $37.50. Murray had said the increase was needed to help cover rising employer contribution rates to the state pension system controlled by the state.
"It was like putting a Band-Aid on cancer," Beers said. "My job was to say what I believe is right and defend why I believed it. It just so happened that the person I disagreed with was Dr. Murray."
He said his challenge to the tax increase proposed during his first year on the board is similar to his challenge of administrative salary increases.
"It wasn't because of him that I'm looking into these things. It just happened that I am doing this and he just happened to be on the other side of the table," Beers said.
The 2002 Altoona Area High School graduate is among the minority age-wise when it comes to school board makeup: Less than 1 percent of approximately 4,500 school board directors statewide were under the age of 25 in 2010, a Pennsylvania School Boards Association survey states.
"I thought I could be an impartial voice to call balls and strikes as I see them," he said of his motivation to campaign for the board.
He was a volunteer football coach for the district prior to his campaign for the board.
"There was an issue with the weight room. I learned how hard it is to get your voice across," he said.
He wrestled and played football for Altoona Area, then earned a bachelor's degree of communication and rhetoric from the University of Richmond in Virginia, which he attended on an athletic scholarship.
"The district has done wonderful things. I have a lot of pride in the way things have been done. I was a product of it," he said. "And there are things I've tried to change.
"If there is a problem I come across, I think I have an obligation not only to the people who elected me to watch over the district but also to do what is morally and ethically right," he added.
He said his time on the board has "taken away from family time." Looking back on the time he's spent on board issues, he said his wife deserves a lot of thanks.
He also said he doesn't want to have to serve on the board for 40 years.
"Hopefully someone smarter than me and with more time than me sees what I've done, agrees with it and wants to pick up the mantle," he said.
"I believe in what the district can offer. People always say, 'I want to get out of Altoona.' My thought is, if all the good people leave, what's left?"

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Researchers at the University of San Diego School of Medicine reported that they have developed a simple, easily reproducible RNA-based method of generating human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Writing in the August 1 edition of Cell Stem Cell, the researchers described a method for producing these cells that they say dramatically improves upon existing DNA-based approaches to creating pluripotent stem cells for use in human stem cell studies, and eventually, cell therapies.
To date, methods previously developed to generate integration-free iPSCs have not proven not easily and efficiently reproducible. Therefore, the UC San Diego researchers focused their approach on developing a self-replicating nonintegrating RNA-based method that could be retained and degraded in a controlled fashion, and that would only need to be introduced once into the cell.
While terminally differentiated somatic cells such as fibroblasts can be reprogrammed to generate iPSCs, several drawbacks have complicated their clinical use. These include low efficiency of cell generation without genetic alterations, the potential for tumor formation in vivo, random integration of retroviral-based delivery vectors into the genome, and unregulated growth of the remaining cells that are partially reprogrammed and refractory to differentiation. Investigators say that the development of protein or RNA-based reprogramming strategies will help generate human iPSCs without permanent genetic alterations.
The authors of the current paper describe a highly reproducible RNA-based iPSC generation approach using a single, synthetic self-replicating VEE-RF RNA replicon that expresses four reprogramming factors (OCT4, KLF4, SOX2, with c-MYC or GLIS1) at consistent high levels prior to regulated RNA degradation. A single VEE-RF RNA transfection into newborn or adult human fibroblasts resulted in efficient generation of iPSCs with all the hallmarks of stem cells, including cell surface markers, global gene expression profiles, and in vivo pluripotency, to differentiate into all three germ layers.
The VEE-RF RNA-based approach has broad applicability, the authors said, for the generation of iPSCs for ultimate use in human stem cell therapies in regenerative medicine.
"This resulted in efficient generation of iPSCs with all the hallmarks of stem cells," said principal investigator Steven Dowdy, Ph.D., professor in the UC San Diego Department of Cellular & Molecular Medicine. "The method is highly reproducible, efficient, nonintegrative—and it works."
Dowdy said that the method worked on both young and old human cells. He explained that this is important since in order to be used therapeutically in fighting disease or to create disease models for research iPSCs will need to be derived from the cells of middle-aged to old adults who are more prone to the diseases scientists are attempting to treat. In addition, reprogramming factors can be easily changed.
The methods developed by the UC San Diego researchers dramatically improve upon existing DNA-based approaches, avoiding potential integration problems and providing what appears to be a safer and simpler method for future clinical applications. Their approach has broad applicability for the successful production of iPSCs for use in human stem cell studies and eventual cell therapies.
This study, "Efficient Generation of Human iPSCs by a Synthetic Self-Replicative RNA", was published in the August 1, 2013, issue of Cell Stem Cell (volume 13, issue 2).

Think of the album Foreverly as a musical equation. You start with Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day . Then you add Norah Jones. Then, you get these two very different musicians thinking about doing duets of music from a totally unexpected source: . Finally, substitute the hits that made those iconic siblings famous with something a touch more obscure.
"I'm a big vinyl collector, so I was just flipping through the bins," Armstrong says of discovering Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, a lesser-known album of traditional tunes recorded by The Everly Brothers. "I thought it would be cool to remake the record. But I thought it would be cool to do it with a woman."
Norah Jones was game for the challenge, if a little unsure how their voices would sound together — especially, she says, attempting the close two-part harmonies that are the Everlys' trademark. Once she and Armstrong got to the studio, one rule made all the difference.

Hello fellow Red Wings Fans and WOW Cable Customers! Did you enjoy many FSD and NBC high-definition games? Well you're going to be left in the 480i dark for many playoff games, that is because Versus on WOW (channel 306 in Michigan) is not offered in HD. So while you're used to watching games in 720p HD, you'll be reduced to standard 480i when watching Versus (yes, that's worse than 480p).
So what should we do about it? COMPLAIN! How do we do it? Here you go:
Online Channel Request Form - http://www1.wowway.c...eyword/ChanReq/
And\Or call them: (866) 496-9669 aka (866) 4-WOW-NOW
When you call them be sure to note the Comcast offers Versus in HD, while they do not. They need to be mindful of their market, and the Michigan markets
Now stop reading and start complaining!

Gas-saving tips can help small businesses manage cash flow
Just as the economy is starting to show signs of improvement, small businesses face rising gas prices.
Connie Certusi, general manager of Sage Small Business Accounting, created some tips to help small businesses can track their spending to better manage their cash flow to offset rising fuel costs which are expected to reach a record high this summer.
Here are her tips:
• Plot deliveries in the same area for the same days.
• Change your hours of delivery so you aren't sitting in rush-hour traffic.
• Drivers should use GPS to find the shortest most direct routes.
• Consider charging customers a fuel surcharge to help manage costs. Your competitors might be doing that.
• Use accounting software to help manage your cash flow.
• Ask your accountant if there are tax benefits to using new, more fuel-efficient vehicles.
• Maintain your vehicles — underinflated tires, misalignment, old filters and dirty oil can hurt your gas mileage.
• Encourage customers to pick up orders rather than shipping orders to them.

WASHOE COUNTY, Nev. - Led by the Washoe County School District Board of Trustees and Superintendent Pedro Martinez, the district is launching a new method of monitoring school performance and student progress.
The WCSD Performance Framework provides a well-rounded description of how students are progressing academically along milestones that define student success beginning in kindergarten and continuing until graduation. The information will be shared with the community as a critical part of the District's ongoing effort to maintain transparency by making school data and information readily available to the community.
In unveiling the framework during the annual State of Education address Tuesday night, Martinez said the system will use numerous measures of performance to categorize schools in a five-star system. Ninety percent of the measures are academic and cover different areas including reading, math and science, and areas of achievement such as proficiency, growth, credit attainment and advanced course completion. Each school can earn up to 100 points, and the star classification is based on the number of points each school receives.
This information will allow the district to identify successes and challenges at each school and to better support schools by providing assistance and resources based on their individual needs. Under the framework, schools that are categorized as lower performing will receive more intensive support from the District, while high performing schools will be given more flexibility to institute innovative new programs and reach new levels of performance and success.
According to district's 2013 framework rankings, Incline Middle and High schools are listed as 4-star schools, while Incline Elementary is a 3-star school.
In July, 2011, the Washoe County School District Board of Trustees adopted an accountability policy to help carry out the strategic plan Envision WCSD 2015 - Investing In Our Future, and directed staff to establish a performance framework that would objectively describe performance in schools and in the District.
The state of Nevada is also designing a school performance framework, which is intended to guide schools across the state. The WCSD-PF aligns with the Nevada School Performance Framework, but Washoe County School District added additional measures of performance to its framework to reflect its core values.
These additions include science, family engagement, achievement gaps among racial and ethnic populations, and growth to college readiness levels. They build upon the foundation of the state's framework and include more rigorous measures that will lead to college and career readiness.

Can a Whole City Stick to a Diet? Fat Chance
Boston Resolved to Drop a Million Pounds; 74,597 Pounds Later, a Gut Check
In hindsight, there were early hints that Boston's citywide challenge to collectively lose one million pounds in a year faced slim odds.
In June, a mere two months after the challenge began, the city kicked off "Fitness on the Plaza," a series of free exercise classes for the citizenry to work off its blubber. But the same week in the same place—City Hall Plaza—Boston tempted the sweet tooth by hosting the annual "Scooper Bowl," billed as the nation's largest all-you-can-eat ice-cream festival, offering delicacies from Rockin' Poppin' Cotton Candy to Hunka Chunka PB Fudge.
"A little mixed messaging," concedes Nick Martin, spokesman for the Boston Public Health Commission, which is now doing some navel-gazing into why Bostonians have shed just 74,597 pounds with only a few months to go until the deadline.
Boston is among the many cities and states around the country doing a gut check these days as they examine the dismal results of mass weight-loss challenges.
For communities, joining together to fight flab is now as American as second helpings of apple pie. With great fanfare, the public is invited to "Cut the Waist," and told "Let's Move!" Citizens get excited about being part of something even larger than themselves—especially in the New Year, as they resolve to start anew by working off the holiday fat.
Politically, governors and mayors find that exhorting voters to go on a diet is far easier on the stomach than, say, pushing a soda tax or junk-food ban.
There have been notable successes. Oklahoma City said last year that it had lost "the equivalent of 100 elephants." But a less celebrated ritual has also emerged: local leaders from Corpus Christi, Texas, to Walpole, Mass., poring over disappointing results, trying to figure out how diets fared so badly.
The excuses are ample: socializing, office birthday parties, child-rearing, resentment at being told by the government to trim down, even a cruddy Red Sox season. "You need comfort food to respond to that," said Kevin Greene, who is 47 and runs a tourist-information booth in Boston.
And then there is the near constant temptation of king-size burgers, thick shakes and other high-calorie foods. "We're immersed in that kind of environment," said Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a watchdog group that recently announced several "Xtreme Eating 2013" "dis-honorees"—restaurants that serve gut-busting meals like The Cheesecake Factory's CAKE -1.98 % "Bistro Shrimp Pasta." CSPI said that light-sounding dish weighs in at 3,120 calories, more than 1.5 times the recommended daily intake for a moderately active 40-year-old woman.
Donald Evans, the restaurant chain's chief marketing officer, responded, "With more than 200 menu items, the Cheesecake Factory has always been about choices." Many diners like to share their dishes or take home leftovers, and the menu also contains lighter fare, he added.
In the Boston suburb of Walpole, the "Let's Move, Walpole" subcommittee met at Town Hall in June to mull a weighty issue. A challenge to the community to lose 1,000 pounds in three months had flopped. The actual result: a measly 100 pounds had been shed.
"We were all gung ho, and we thought everyone would come along," said health director Robin Chapell.
But some "Let's Move, Walpole" organizers admitted that they, too, had struggled to keep their get-up-and-go, even as they evangelized at local gyms, weight-loss classes and town events.
"I was up and down," said Ann Marie Bielenin, a 63-year-old retiree with cropped gray hair and a hot-pink shirt. "My problem is I like to party hearty."
And saboteurs included Walpole's assistant town accountant, Karen Beaton, who tactically keeps sweets on her counter to make the bill-paying public less grumpy.
"You have to have something as a gimmick because when they pay their water bills, or pay their tax bills, sometimes they're not too happy," she said.
St. Louis's eight-week weight-loss challenge for thousands of city employees last fall drew only about 10% participation, said Ryan Lord, the city's wellness coordinator.
About 500 people lost 1,500 pounds, which averages out to three pounds per person. Some had impressive results, but a good number of people didn't lost any weight at all, or had actually gained, he said.
"You hear excuses left and right," he said. "Oh, I'm on steroid medication. I was on vacation. Vacation is a huge one."
He suspects that in truth, people have too much on their plates. He said he would pop in on colleagues down the hall and catch them tucking into doughnuts. "They're just going at it. And they're the ones signing up for the weight-loss challenge," he said.
Former Louisville, Ky., Mayor Jerry Abramson challenged that city—including himself—to lose 100,000 pounds between March and Labor Day, 2010, but "Lose It, Louisville" resulted in only about 1,000 people shedding 6,000 pounds. "We had no money to really promote it," said Kathy Harrison, spokeswoman for Louisville Metro Public Health & Wellness.
Louisville has made more headway by building bike paths, selling healthier foods in low-income areas and a new local ordinance requiring certain restaurants to post calorie counts on on-site menus—"to make the healthy choice the easier choice," Ms. Harrison said.
After being called "America's Fattest City" by Men's Health magazine, Corpus Christi officials issued a one-year, 50,000 pound citywide weight-loss challenge in late 2010, but the program fizzled out, said Angela Gonzalez, a former city liaison to the Mayor's Fitness Council. Like Louisville, the city is now focusing on building more hiking and bike trails.
"There was all kinds of drama," said Ms. Gonzalez, who is 39, and now works in the city's solid-waste department, recalling how a number of people, including her, started but dropped out of a city-sponsored boot camp. One woman got pregnant. A man was in a freak accident in which a fence fell on him. Juggling child-care with exercise classes, Ms. Gonzalez tried to bring her young son to the boot camp, but he threw up on her.
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is hoping for firmer results with his statewide weight-loss challenge, kicking off this month. The governor is challenging teams of five to lose a greater percentage of weight than his own team of five state leaders, who collectively weighed in at 1,046 pounds. As of Jan. 22, 1,023 teams had registered for the competition, which ends in May, said Sara Arif, deputy director of communications.
"We want it to be more about changing your habits than just trying to lose weight," she said.
Ms. Arif aims to shed up to 25 pounds. But with the state's busy legislative session now under way, she acknowledges that cutting fat while helping the state slash its own won't be easy. "You have maybe five minutes to eat at your desk, so you grab whatever is available," she said.

A woman was traveling back to Ranger Drive near Cross after stopping at the IGA in Eutawville when she saw a subject crossing the road.
The woman slowed down to a stop to allow the subject to cross at about 6:15 p.m. on May 7, according to a Berkeley County Sheriffs Office incident report.
The suspect then pulled out a black revolver, pointed it at the victim and told her to get out of the truck.
The woman got out. As the subject got in the truck he noticed her small dog on the front passenger seat. He told her, Get the dog or both of you . . .
The victim took the dog from the truck and the subject fled toward Orangeburg County in her1989 Ford Ranger, according to the report.
The victim went to a nearby Dollar General to call 911. The truck was entered into NCIC. It is maroon in color, has faded decals on the side and is missing the front bumper.
The suspect is a black male, age 20 25, who had short hair and wore a dark shirt and dark shorts, according to the report.

It is estimated that the energy costs to heat the nation's 5.7 million pools and spas run in the billions of dollars annually. Outdoor pools use high amounts of energy to heat water, which loses heat during the evening and through evaporation. Indoor pools use a lot of energy for systems that remove evaporation-caused humidity.
A pool cover can dramatically reduce energy use by a swimming pool. A pool covered just half the time can save up to 50 percent in annual energy costs.
A basic pool cover with enough material for a 30-foot by 15-foot pool will cost around $80. A storage reel for the cover costs about $160. A high quality insulating pool blanket can cost up to $700 for a 30-foot by 15-foot pool.
Reducing the water temperate just four degrees, from 82 to 78 degrees, can cut your pool's natural gas costs by as much as 40 percent. If you live in a sunny region you might consider installing a solar heating system for your pool.
Table 1 shows some savings estimates for pool covers. To use this table to estimate costs for you pool, divide your pool's surface area (sq. ft.) by 1,000 then multiply this number by the heating costs and savings figures for your pool type in the location that most similarly matches your local climate.
For example let's say you live in Chicago and have an outdoor pool that is 30 x 15 feet. Your pool's surface area is 450 square feet. Divide 450 by 1000 to get a value of 0.45. From the table you find the annual heating costs for an outdoor pool in Chicago is $1,024. Multiply this by 0.45 to get an estimated annual heating cost of $461.

LOCKPORT – Darius M. Belton, a Niagara Falls man charged with shooting his uncle to death, rejected a plea offer Thursday in Niagara County Court.
His attorney, Angelo Musitano, said the proposed sentence was too long.
He also said he may present a self-defense argument to the jury if the case goes to trial, which is scheduled to occur April 17.
On Feb. 4, Deputy District Attorney Doreen M. Hoffmann had offered Belton, who is charged with second-degree murder, the chance to plead guilty to first-degree manslaughter with a sentencing limit of 20 years.
If convicted of murder, Belton faces a maximum of 25 years to life in prison. The legal sentencing range for the manslaughter charge is between five and 25 years.
Belton, 18, of South Avenue, is charged with the Sept. 25 slaying of Luis A. Ubiles, 37, who lived next door. Police said the outdoor shooting followed an argument between Ubiles and Belton's mother, who is married to Ubiles' brother.
Asked by County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas for a response to the plea offer, Musitano said, "We considered that last night or the night before at length. It's not acceptable."
After court, Musitano told reporters, "I don't care about the 'man-1.' It's the 20 years … If the number comes down, there's a possibility of a plea."
Hoffmann commented, "It was a cap, so the lower numbers would always have been available."
Farkas ordered the sides back to court March 20 for a hearing on police identification procedures used in the case.
Asked if Belton still could take her plea offer then, Hoffmann said, "If he wants it, I won't pull it yet."
Musitano said if there is a trial, a self-defense claim is "a very distinct possibility."
After the argument, Belton reportedly went back into his house and came out with a gun. However, Musitano discounted that version of events. "The guy [Ubiles] ran towards him," he said.
Hoffmann said, "I'm not surprised that's his defense. I'm not going to try the case in the newspaper."

It's not often a stud running back falls into your lap during championship week of the fantasy football season, but that's exactly what could happen Sunday.
The Jacksonville Jaguars' Maurice Jones-Drew is hopeful of playing in Week 16 against the New England Patriots. Jones-Drew has missed eight games because of a sprained left foot. He's not a slam dunk start just yet, as Jaguars coach Mike Mularkey has labeled him questionable.
If Jones-Drew can go, however, he's found money for fantasy owners. The Jaguars' backfield has been a mess since he went out. Jones-Drew is available in about 10 percent of both ESPN and CBS Sports fantasy leagues, so he's worth picking up this week and making a decision on Sunday.
If the rest of the week goes well and Jones-Drew starts, he makes for an intriguing sleeper option as a flex player, especially in deeper leagues.
Here's a list of candidates who can outperform their usual or recent fantasy production this week.
• DeMarco Murray, RB, Dallas: Murray has touchdowns in three consecutive games since missing six because of injury. His carries have gone down from 23 to 21 to 14 over that time, but Murray hits the fantasy gold mine Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. They're leading the NFL in points allowed to fantasy running backs (in standard-scoring ESPN leagues) with 21.2 points per game.
• LeSean McCoy, RB, Philadelphia: Even though he's expected to split carries with Bryce Brown, McCoy's a first-round running back who can safely be used at least as a flex player. That's a big bonus considering he's missed the last four games because of a concussion. The Eagles will be eager to play spoilers against the Washington Redskins in what could be coach Andy Reid's final home game.
• Darren McFadden, RB, Oakland: McFadden got 30 carries for 110 yards last week against the Kansas City Chiefs, so it's clear the Raiders want to revolve their offense around him. Carolina has given up the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing runners, so McFadden should get plenty of work again Sunday.
• Sam Bradford, QB, St. Louis: Tampa Bay opponents have averaged 310.6 passing yards, completed passes 66.4 percent of the time and thrown for 27 touchdowns this season. Bradford's coming off a 377-yard, three-touchdown performance last week.
• Matt Schaub, QB, Houston: Here are Schaub's numbers from the Texans' past four home games, all wins: 72 completion percentage, 328 yards per game, 10 touchdowns and just two interceptions. The Vikings have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.
• Brandon Lloyd, WR, New England: Getting hot at the right time, with 17 catches in the past two games. That comes after having just 16 catches in six games. The only worry for Lloyd is that the Patriots take a big lead against the Jaguars and shut it down. But who am I kidding? That's not going to happen with Bill Belichick as coach.
• Cecil Shorts, WR, Jacksonville: Shorts suffered a concussion in a Week 13 loss to the Bills. He returned last week and made six catches for 101 yards. It's a good bet the Jags will be playing catch up and throwing a ton against New England.
• Indianapolis Colts defense: The Kansas City Chiefs have scored 13 points or less in six of their last seven games.
Analyzing the Bills
With Buffalo officially out of the playoffs, one of the few things left to play for is milestones. With receiver Steve Johnson just 109 yards away from a third straight 1,000-yard season, expect quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to target Johnson a ton Sunday against the Dolphins. I like Stevie as a No. 2 receiver.
The return of Eric Wood could mean good news for running back C.J. Spiller, but he's still a must start even if the Bills' center can't play.
With Donald Jones out for the rest of the season, Scott Chandler's production should go up slightly. He's a low-end starter for Week 16. Stay away from Fitzpatrick and the Bills' defense.
Miami's Reggie Bush should benefit with fellow running back Daniel Thomas out for the season, but the former had only 20 carries for 10 yards the first time against Buffalo. He'll do better than that Sunday, and should be viewed as a No. 2 running back.
Dolphins receivers Brian Hartline and Davone Bess have both appeared on the injury report this week. Neither of them get to the end zone enough (just one touchdown each) to be considered must starts even if they play, but both have some value in points-per-reception leagues (Hartline has 67 catches this season, Bess 61).
Miami's defense gave up only three points last week against Jacksonville, and is a sleeper play Sunday.
Last note: Don't forget there is a Saturday night game, between Atlanta and Detroit.

Few thoughtful West Virginians would disagree with the comment Thursday by state Board of Education President Wade Linger that "we need real change in education in this state."
But many, we suspect, have questions about the event that prompted Linger to make that point. He did so after the board, by a 5-2 vote, agreed to fire state school Superintendent Jorea Marple.
Marple herself seemed surprised. Two board members who disagreed with the decision, Priscilla Haden and Jenny Phillips, resigned in protest.
Clearly, some sort of coup was staged. There was no discussion - at least not in public - of firing Marple before the board voted to do so.
Just as surprising - again, at least to the public - was a suggestion by Linger that James Phares, superintendent of Randolph County schools, be hired to fill the vacancy. The board, with no formal search for a new state superintendent, is scheduled to vote on Phares next week.
Clearly, some board members have given a substantial amount of thought to the change.
But Marple, who has been state superintendent only since March 2011, was given no reason for being fired. Linger told a reporter, "The reason the board needed to take this action today is that we're coming up on a time when we need real change in education in this state, some new reforms, and now is just the right time to bring in new leadership with new attitudes and forward thinking views on education."
Well, yes, just such a superintendent is needed. But the public - that would be West Virginians who pay for schools - deserves more of an explanation of what it is the five board members want done that Marple wasn't capable of accomplishing, and why Phares is thought to be a better leader.
Marple served at the will and pleasure of the state board, so legally, she is due no explanation. Again, however, West Virginians pay handsomely for the right to expect one.

According to the New York Times, the Army will cut back forces to levels not seen since before World War II. The move comes as a budgetary measure and is backed by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. The Army was around 570,000 troops after 9/11, and the plan would reduce the number to about 450,000.

The Robeson County pound killed 1,035 pets during the months of March, April and May 2012 because of a distemper outbreak (which was at least the third large distemper outbreak there in a little more than a year), and now adoptions are less than half of what they were before the outbreak and the kill rate has "barely decreased," according to an article in The Robesonian.
The shelter reopened on May 23 after being closed since Feb. 29. In June and July combined, 1,001 dogs and cats were euthanized, 152 animals were adopted or rescued and 35 pets were reclaimed by their owners — an average survival rate of 16.5 percent for dogs and 9.5 percent for cats. August statistics were not available for this story.
Oh, but rest assured, it's not their fault! Former director Lori Baxter (now employed blaming others for the failure of the Sampson County pound) and former adoption coordinator Sara Hatchell stole the pound's "customers," (i.e. rescue groups) when they left to take jobs at other pounds, according to Robeson County Health Director Bill Smith. "It's much the same as any employee who leaves an employer, they sometimes take customers with them," Smith said. "… Somebody else gained, and we lost."
(Meanwhile, Robeson pound's adoption coordinator Wanda Strickland might not be endearing herself so much to the rescuers who do choose to work with her.)
Actually, it's pretty nice of Smith not to blame Baxter for the distemper outbreaks to begin with, since they happened during her tenure as manager (as did a "dip" in adoption rates and a spike in kill rates, despite ballyhoo about how she "turned the shelter around"). But wait, as her boss, Smith is probably the one who holds the purse strings, so it may have been his decision not to administer vaccinations upon intake, which are "vital lifesaving tools that must be used as part of a preventive shelter healthcare program."
Smith also assigns some blame for his shelter's failure to … wait for it … "poor treatment by county residents of their animals." The Irresponsible Public! But again, wait … who is it that interim manager Bryon Lashley says will soon be coming in greater numbers to adopt and are currently bringing "donations of puppy food, dog food, cat food and toys coming in and helping us out"? The article says it's local residents … yes, the Irresponsible Public to the rescue again.
