HOLLIDAYSBURG - Football is played in four quarters - two halves - and on Friday night, the Hollidaysburg Golden Tigers could only get it half right against the Hampton Talbots on homecoming.
The Tigers committed two turnovers in the first half that led to 14 points, and the Talbots' offense used two eight-play drives on two other possessions to build a 28-0 halftime lead, en route to a 28-14 Greater Allegheny Conference victory that dropped Hollidaysburg to 3-3 overall, 3-2 in the league.
"They were a physical team and I knew that going in, but I fully expected us to be able to compete with them and beat them as long as we didn't make mistakes," Hollidaysburg coach John Barton said. "I am proud of the way our kids responded in the second half. We dug ourselves a hole and least we came back out slugging."

Hollidaysburg's Brian Urban takes down Ben Foreman.
Hampton (5-1, GAC 4-1) had the ball three times on offense in the third quarter, and twice was forced to punt. It lost the ball on downs on another possession. The Talbots had the ball for just six plays in the fourth quarter, punting once. But coach Jacque DeMatteo didn't think his club took their foot off the pedal.
"No, but definitely we made some mistakes that hurt us," he said. "I would have liked to have another score and get a running clock, but I am happy for our kids. We fought the whole game."
Because of a fumble and an interception by the Tigers in the first quarter, Hampton had two short fields to work with. A two-play, 5-yard drive resulted in an Anthony Bianco 4-yard scoring run. A two-play, 10-yard drive was followed by an 8-yard Bianco run for a 14-0 lead.
"Some times you will see teams get a turnover and they don't do anything with it, but our kids made some plays. That interception .... our kid returned it down to their 5," DeMatteo said. "Our defense has been consistent all year."
Hampton's two touchdown drives in the second quarter went for 63 and 83 yards, respectively, for a 28-0 advantage. Frank Bello scored on a 4-yard run, but the killer came with 8 seconds before halftime. That was when Bianco simply ran off tackle on a third-and-7 play that went for a 68-yard touchdown.
"That was huge," Barton said. "Their kids are good and you have to play good, fundamental football against them. I have to see the tape, but it is obvious that someone didn't fill the gap on that play."
The Tigers had the ball three times in the third quarter, punting twice while having another ball picked off at the 6:45 mark. The defense kept hanging in there, getting the ball back, and a score finally developed on a 13-play, 64-yard drive that started at the end of the third, and wound up in the end zone at the at the 8:43 mark.
A Brian Urban 1-yard run, and Eric Miller PAT kick, made it 28-7. The Tigers made it 28-14 with a touchdown at the 1:03 mark, thanks to Reid Miller taking it in from three yards out.
Barton said defensive adjustments were made at halftime, but he also felt his team took it upon themselves to simply play better in the final 24 minutes.
"A lot of it, really, was our kids realizing that the first half...that was not reflective of how they can really play," he said. "They showed a lot of character in that second half.
Game notes: Both teams finished with 237 yards of offense. ... Tiger tight end Kaleb Springer injured his knee on an ugly play where he was dragged down from behind after a 14-yard reception for a first down. He was helped off the field, and had his knee wrapped at the end of the game. ... Hampton had two turnovers but the Tigers did not turn them into any points. Bianco rushed for 103 yards but only four of them came in the second half. ... Hannah Mercer was named homecoming queen. ... Hollidaysburg is at Franklin Regional next week.

I was flipping through the book, No Easy Day, about the killing of Bin Laden. There were pictures of the weapons used and I was wondering what can they used as one was pictured on an M4 shorty. How about other special forces? What about other calibers?

|News and Events
|Get Screened!
Information for Researchers
Living Biobank
In its mission to prevent type 1 diabetes, TrialNet has developed a unique resource through the longitudinal monitoring of individuals at risk for the development of type 1 diabetes within the Natural History study. TrialNet has launched the Living Biobank initiative to provide investigators with the opportunity to obtain "on-demand" biological samples from selected individuals within this population. Exploratory research is encouraged under this initiative.
Studies must use TrialNet screened subjects, and cannot interfere with ongoing clinical trials or studies. Investigators can select the clinical characteristics needed for their study as well as the sample type and collection frequency. Although many Living Biobank studies may be implemented through cost-sharing with the TrialNet network, special sample collections and visits outside of the normal visit schedules will incur additional costs which should be covered by the approved applicant. In addition, some studies may require effort from the TrialNet coordinating center, with costs covered by the approved ancillary study. See below for estimates of these costs (Living Biobank Cost List).
Living biobank studies must be reviewed and approved by TrialNet prior to initiation. Each proposal will be evaluated with careful consideration for its potential impact on the objectives and performance of the TrialNet Natural History study. Further, living biobank studies must not interfere with the continued interest and participation of the study subjects and investigators. All approved studies will be reviewed yearly to evaluate their progress and impact on TrialNet as a whole.
TrialNet welcomes the submission of living biobank studies as an adjunct to ongoing protocols. Please refer to the Living Biobank Applicant Instructions below for complete information.

The June birthday of Lemuel Chenoweth, the master carpenter and renowned builder of covered bridges, will be honored during Chenoweth Day in Beverly
Featured activities this year will include a special visit from "Mary Todd Lincoln," in addition to tours and hospitality at the Lemuel Chenoweth House, and music and demonstrations at the Beverly Heritage Center.
Article Photos
Submitted photo
Randy Allan will lead tours of the Lemuel Chenoweth House in Beverly during Chenoweth Day Saturday.
The special feature of the day will be a History Alive! presentation of Mary Todd Lincoln, at 4 p.m. at the Beverly Heritage Center. Mary Lincoln's story mirrors the pain and loss suffered by many Americans as a result of the Civil War. A devoted supporter of her husband Abraham's political aspirations, she encouraged him in his career. As the First Lady during the war, her southern roots created doubt about her loyalty to the Union and she was viewed as a traitor to the Confederate cause.
Presenter JoAnn Peterson will begin with a monologue by Mrs. Lincoln talking about her life and personal tragedies, and the historical, social and political issues that influenced her. This will be followed by a question and answer session with Mrs. Lincoln in character. Then, Peterson will break character for a question-and-answer session in which she talks about her research into primary sources and personal papers to develop the character portrayal. History Alive! is a program of the West Virginia Humanities Council.
The Lemuel Chenoweth House Antiques and Museum will be open from 10 a.m. with tours of the house. Chenoweth built this house in Beverly and lived there from 1856 until his death in 1887. Among the many covered bridges he built is the Philippi Covered Bridge, which is still in use and open to traffic.
Visitors Saturday can learn about Chenoweth's carpentry skills and unique construction designs as they tour the two-story clapboard structure with owner Randy Allan as their guide. They may also purchase fine antiques on display throughout the house/museum. Mrs. Allan will serve refreshments in the historic kitchen, and visitors can admire the view of the Tygart River, where one of Chenoweth's wooden bridges once stood. The Lemuel Chenoweth House and Museum is located on Bridge Street in Beverly, three blocks from the Beverly Heritage Center.
At the Beverly Heritage Center starting at 10 a.m., printer Karl Mulac will demonstrate the skills of a 19th century printer on a historic printing press. Beverly residents in period dress will provide hospitality and tours of the museum exhibits, which are open free for this special day.
At 10:30 a.m. Mountain Winds will perform a variety of mid-19th century music that once entertained residents of the Tygart Valley. The trio of woodwind players specializes in rousing and sentimental Civil War songs and lively dance music suitable for schottisches, polkas, waltzes and an occasional march. After lunchtime, the Rich Mountain String Band will offer a variety of minstrel and Civil War era dance tunes to set visitors' toes tapping.
Other attractions and shops in Beverly will be open as well. The Randolph County Museum will be open, showcasing its extensive collection of local artifacts. Historic Beverly Antiques features a wide variety of antiques, collectibles and books in the historic Goff house that was once the Beverly Union Hospital. The Marketplace, across from the Town Square, offers fresh local foods and handmade crafts.
All Chenoweth Day activities are free and open to the public. The Beverly Heritage Center will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the Chenoweth House and Museum will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Beverly is located 6 miles south of Elkins on U.S. Route 219. For more information, contact the Beverly Heritage Center at 304-637-7424 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or see www.beverlyheritagecenter.org.

Insipid, tedious and lacking in common sense, Wanderlust has nothing to offer a discerning viewer. But hey, Jennifer Aniston got a boyfriend from this ridiculous enterprise, so that's something positive, right?
The aforementioned beau, Justin Theroux, plays Seth, the New-Agey leader of Elysium, a Georgia commune happened upon by George (Paul Rudd) and Linda (Aniston), a couple who can no longer afford their New York lifestyle. After a night of pot, drum circles and skinny-dipping, the pair decide to stay in Elysium.
That's when everything goes wrong – for us (the heck with George and Linda, they made their bed). It's a stream of lame jokes about hippies doing things no sane person would tolerate. I don't care how enlightened you think you are, if a stranger wants to watch you on the toilet, they need therapy.
Incredibly, Wanderlust isn't entirely without merit. Linda Lavin is terrific as George and Linda's shady realtor, and Aniston and Rudd come off relatively unscathed. But a script in which one character announces, "We adopted a black baby," then reveals that it's his new SUV? That thing needs burning.

People are really good at making excuses, and most of the time we know they're lies. For example, I told Jack O'Brien that this column was three days late because my dog ate my home. (That's not a typo; I just get really overzealous when I lie.)
"Yes, Jack, my dog is 200 feet long. What's the matter? Never read Clifford?"
But sometimes our excuses are so good that we even convince ourselves: We see a problem, make an excuse for it, and forget about the problem. But the problem still exists. More specifically, it's like we think that merely identifying our failings provides a reason to do nothing about it. Here are five excuses that don't excuse anything at all.
#5. "That Was Before My Time"
Any time people are caught not knowing something that other people think they should, they reply, "Oh, well that was before my time." What does that mean? Isn't most of Western literature before our time? Isn't the majority of all music and film ever made before our time? "Before my time" is not a one-size-fits-all excuse justifying any form of ignorance.
" Moby WHAT??? That can't be the real name of the book! Before my time, dude."
Not only that, but people say this even when the unknown reference is also before the speaker's time. I might be Cracked's oldest and most sexually gifted columnist, but the Beatles were before my time, too. So were Woody Allen's funniest movies, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Thelonious Monk, Robert Johnson, Oscar Wilde, John Keats, and William Shakespeare. If "before my time" were an acceptable response, you could write it as the answer to every question on your next history exam.
Yeah, if some weirdo asks if you remember some McDonald's commercial from 1972, feel free to mention that you're only 22 and not prone to studying useless bits of data from ugly decades, but there is no expiration date on facts and art that deserve to be in your head.
#4. "Oh, Well, I Don't Read the Papers"
Variations on this include "I don't watch the news," "I don't follow current events," and "I don't know what's going on in the world at all in any way." I get it. I really do. There are so many reasons not to keep up with current events. I have two jobs, three kids, and four co-workers constantly IMing me to help them add jokes to their otherwise lackluster articles.
Actually, they're all just Adam Tod Brown, but sometimes he uses a funny voice and mustache.
The point is, I understand being busy, and I'm the first to admit that I don't follow current events nearly as closely as I should, but here's the thing: I know that's a problem. I know I'm not making time to be an educated and involved person. When someone mentions some international crisis or important piece of legislation and I don't know what they're talking about, do you know what I do? I feel ashamed. That's an OK feeling to have. It might inspire you to read and learn, but even if it doesn't, it's better than proclaiming that you simply don't care about such things. Or do you think there are no events in the world worth caring and knowing about?
#3. "I'm Too Selfish to Be a Parent"
Not everyone was cut out to be a parent. Some people are angry, some are loveless, some are Ann Coulter.
Aww, don't cry, Ann. Your dark lord and master frowns upon crybabies.
I don't think everyone needs to be a parent. I don't think parents are better than people without kids. And it's true, some people are simply too selfish to ever be good parents. But here's the thing: If you're so selfish that you can't conceivably care for a child, then not having kids doesn't really solve the problem. Don't get me wrong: I'm super happy that you're self-aware enough not to procreate, but I'm guessing you're still kind of a selfish, shitty person. Or are you only incapable of not being selfish to life forms that are smaller than you?
See, if this thing were fully grown, I could probably not be a completely selfish prick, but at this size, no, not happening.
This excuse is like saying, "Oh, I smell far too bad to ever go to a fancy restaurant." Yes, I'm happy that your stank ass will never be sitting next to me at some expensive anniversary dinner, but at the same time, maybe look into, y'know, not smelling so bad.

Women in combat will change face of warfare

President Barack Obama's second inauguration was not the only big news to come out of Washington this week: just three days after Obama talked about fairness and equality in his inaugural address,......
Yeah Jane....and we won't be hearing you on here right screaming bloody murder and protesting all the women aka mothers, sisters in body bags right???? Pfft. Hypocrite.

Just wait until all the body bags of women aka mothers start arriving off the planes next time. Remember the hypocrite democrats screaming, counting and making such a big deal about all the 'men' in body bags during the Iraq war 5 or so years ago??? Oh that was an "act" they put on. Because now, they have no problem with bringing women home in body bags. Gays in the military is a big problem and now this will be the next big preventable problem created by the liberal nut jobs. Boy what a mess the conservatives are going to have to clean up after this foolish unintelligent bunch in the White House and Senate!!! On a 'good note' though.....at least we are getting rid of ONE of them; Rockefeller. Glad to finally see this joker is leaving.

Pure...just wait until all 18 year olds are "forced" to serve in the military, both men and women,as democrats have been trying for years to get done! And these jokers who support dems still believe democrats hate war? Obama sent MORE troops into Iraq; you know that war the dems blame Bush for? LOL. Stupidity reigns in the democrat party! Dems want to make it mandatory that all your sons and daughters serve in our military. Democrats love "forcing" things onto the people. Republicans like you to make your own choice. I guess stupid people who can't make decisions for themselves love idiots making those decisions for them. You can't fix lazy and stupid people. They'll give up 'all' their rights for some free stuff from the crooks in DC. That's been apparent over the past 5 years. These folks deserve what they will soon be getting.

I'm just happy that now it's legal to "take that camel to bed". Repealed Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which states that any person who engages in "unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy." Those found guilty of sodomy would be subject to court-martial.

Little history lesson for Pure: women fought in the Civil War. Do a little research. Canadian, Australian, and many European women are in combat troops.
I can understand why anyone would threatened by the idea of women fighting shoulder to shoulder with men in today's military: we are fierce warriors. And it's why our civilization is moving forward by being more inclusive.
Glad I don't live in your world, Pure.

Pure, I'd say I can't believe your ignorance but reading your post, which most contain some kind of hatred, racism and sexist views I can believe it as the other people who read these comments do also. You obviously comment to make others angry, not to truly contribute to a real answer to any of the questions. or problems brought up in these Editorial or Letters to the Editor. Maybe it's just your lack of knowledge about most subjects that you have to cover it with your "mumbo jumbo". You and people like you are what's wrong with this country. It's a shame that Americans not matter what sex, color, sexual orientation etc ( all that you obviously hate) have given their lives for your safety and right to say the ignorant things that you do........

The GOP and Ole Curious George Bush were the one's that tarnished our respectability amongst the nations of the world. Their lies, hatred and obstructionism are just totally ridicules. Sure woman can get raped when captured, so can men. But it is a woman's choice to inlist and not yours.

Women join the military not only because they want a job but because they want to protect our country even if it cost them their lives. They face the fact they they may lose their lives when they join. If they are not willing to give the altimate sacrifice then they shouldn't join.As far as rape, they have always been in danger of that. Now they will be carrying an assault rifle in which they are trained to use. We don't necessarily need men to protect us, nowadays most of us are capable of protecting ourselves....

ESPN Insider has a new article up
Top 10 GM candidates for this offseason
1. Jim Nill, Red Wings
In February, colleague Pierre LeBrun reported that Nill's contract includes a six-week out window in which he can leave the Red Wings starting this offseason. The bit of flexibility in his personal services contract with the Ilitch family is something rebuilding teams should take advantage of in the summer. There's not an NHL executive more prepared and ready to run his own team than Nill. He has encyclopedia-like knowledge of every young player already in the NHL or on the way in the next few seasons and the Red Wings' ability to stay competitive without the assistance of first-round picks near the top of the draft is a credit to his ability to identify and develop talent.
"He's got tremendous gut instincts based upon his playing day career and 20ish years of player assessment," wrote Red Wings GM Ken Holland in an email. And there's not a more quality individual in the league than Nill. "He treats people and the game with respect," Holland said. Detroit's CBA expert and salary-cap manager Ryan Martin is another strong mind who deserves consideration, especially with his background on the other side of the table when he worked as an agent with Kurt Overhardt.
If someone has insider, can you tell us if that's the most they have about Nill? If you don't mind, you can share the other 9 also!
What do you guys think? Would Nill leave the organization, or would he wait it out for the GM position in Detroit?

Colon cancer alert
I recently read the article "Colon cancer: Know your family history." I lost my mother, Becky Moran, to colon cancer last April after a seven-year battle with this disease.
My family and I have been working very hard to try to get a colon cancer chapter in South Carolina in order to raise more awareness of this horrible disease.
We have recently founded "Blessing for Becky" wherein we want to raise money for colon cancer research. My sister and I for the past few years have been trying to shine a spotlight on colon cancer by asking people to "turn Charleston blue." We have done this through Facebook, friends and family.
I have attached a link to share a video of a special event. My mother was able to meet her first grandchild just after I gave birth to him. She passed away two days later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOsxeexsXHY
This terrible disease effects people of all ages and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. My family and I would really like to get the word out about colon cancer.

No more Lindsey
Watching Lindsey Graham is painful and embarrassing. Embarrassing because I have to deflect comments from friends around the country who ask what kind of Reagan Republican is he for attacking other Republicans?
Painful as it is, we as South Carolinians have to ask how he dared make demeaning and despicable comments about Rand Paul and others who stood up for the U.S. Constitution. Graham should have been there joining in the filibuster.
Lindsey Graham has become a sycophant of John McCain's who no longer represents me or my family. He currently has $4 million in campaign money mostly collected from out-of-state interests. It is time to begin the campaign to replace this man.

Right man for job
S.C. State's Board of Trustees on Thursday has one last chance to hire a president who has the management and financial experience to fix the chronic mismanagement, obvious lack of financial controls, and equally obvious misappropriation of funds at S.C. State.
The way the university has been run is a betrayal of its students' trust and a sad, needless embarrassment. It has tarnished educational service for everyone who lives in the state, especially the African-American community.
I don't know any of the three finalists, but I was a company CEO for 35 years before retiring in South Carolina. I hired a lot of managers along the way, and I can read a resume, even the abbreviated ones in the paper Saturday.
Only one candidate has any senior financial experience or senior responsibilities in university administration and operations. And that person is Thomas J. Elzey.
I'm sure the other two candidates are able academicians, but their bios don't mention financial responsibilities or senior management or operations experience.
By contrast, Mr. Elzey has been the chief financial officer at Howard and Drexel universities, and currently the executive V.P. for finance, administration and operations at The Citadel.
It's a no brainer. He's the obvious first choice, with the experience and skillset to get S.C. State back on track.

Lacking resolve
What a bunch of cowards in Washington. They don't even want to limit the size of ammunition clips for semi-automatic rifles to 10 rounds.
All I want is a chance to jump the idiots before they kill everybody in the room.
And maybe it would be nice if people with psychological defects didn't have semi-automatic weapons or any kind of gun at all. And how many more mass killings are going to happen every year? How many policemen will be mowed down by drug dealers?

Workers who don't
I have a solution for the unemployment problem. Let's fire everyone who is working and refuse them unemployment benefits so they know what it is like without a job. Then we'll hire all the currently unemployed to fill the vacancies until they forget how nice it is to have a job.
Remember customer service? Apparently once you have a job you forget what it is. Recently I stood in line to check out one item at Whole Foods. In front of me an employee was checking out a few items for her lunch and got caught up in conversation with the chatty cashier. I moved to another line behind another customer and still got out of the store before these two had finished their personal conversation.
Try calling MUSC to find your doctor or any other information. Getting to the person you want is a spin of the roulette wheel depending on who answers the phone and if he has a pen.
Check your cash register receipts. How many times have you been overcharged? OK, drive back a week later and try to get credit.
Now to the DMV. It took six visits to get my S.C. driver's license. Here is a group of people (not all of them) who are experts at killing time: Walk to the copier and look around. Stare at your computer screen. Shuffle papers on your desk. Ask the person at the next desk a question then roll into what they did this weekend. Check the drawers at your station. Now start again with walk to the copier.
Recently at a Belk's I had to leave an elderly friend's items to hike around the store and find a clerk.
Meanwhile, I watched another woman walk out the door with new merchandise. Perhaps she was a shoplifter, or maybe she just got tired of trying to find someone to wait on her.
In any of these situations 10-20 percent of the employees are doing 90 percent of the work and the rest are window dressing.

Noise barriers
Much work is needed to upgrade the roadways and interstates in South Carolina. When I-26 was constructed, this area was not expected to have 2,500 homes. As more homes were built, usage of the interstate exponentially grew, new industries arrived, cruise ships and buses came, the port expanded along with 146,100 vehicle trips per day, which is 21,100 more than its designed capacity. With this increase in vehicle traffic comes constant loud noise from trucks, motorcycles and more.
The Concerned Citizens of Northwoods, Parkhill and New Ryder have petitioned the S.C. Department of Transportation for a noise study (one done in 1997 showed even then the noise exceeded Federal Highway Administration guidelines). Nothing has been done to reduce the highway's negative health impacts on homeowners.
This group has also asked the City of North Charleston and Charleston County to fund plantings that would enhance the interstate appearance and help reduce noise.
As homeowners we want our quality of life back. This is not just a one community issue. It is a quality of life issue for the state. We are asking the state of South Carolina, SCDOT, state elected officials, city and county government to do the right thing.
Noise has lasting effects on our physical and mental health, as reported in the New England Journal of Medicine and also by the Environmental Protection Agency. Noise can exacerbate illnesses and can cause sleep deprivation, anxiety and depression. We need help.

The Rancics, who attended the annual Vail Breast Cancer Awareness Group luncheon on Sunday, have a special connection to the state: their Denver-based fertility doctor suggested surrogacy after a routine mammogram before Giuliana's in vitro fertilization treatment revealed breast cancer that required a double mastectomy.
Despite the frightening ordeal of breast cancer, the couple said finding a surrogate was also "scary."
"Giuliana was more concerned about the surrogate eating fried chicken," Bill joked to an audience of 600, which included many breast cancer survivors. "I'm not worried about her eating fried chicken – I'm worried about her smoking crack."
"For anyone who's thought about surrogacy, it is scary," Giuliana said. "It's like having a babysitter 24 hours a day for nine months."
But the couple said finding the perfect surrogate in Denver alleviated a lot of their fears. "Clean living here," Bill said. "I felt much better. The water – everything about this state – is great."
Giuliana agreed: "It has to be Colorado or bust."
The couple, whose journey to parenthood is documented on their Style Network reality show, say they're connected to the woman who is carrying their child. Their surrogate is a French former au pair in her mid 30s living in Denver who has cared for children since moving to the U.S.
"It's a tremendous gift," Bill said. "Certainly we want to show her our gratitude. We plan on maintaining a relationship with her."
Picking a NameThe Rancics said picking a name for their son is "a game-time decision." Bill said he's looking at NFL quarterback names and the names of Fortune 500 CEOs. "No pressure," he joked.
Giuliana said maybe they'd consider a local name like "Vail" or "Denver," but never a Hollywood name like "Pink Sky."
Regardless of his name, Bill said his unborn son has already had such a positive impact on so many lives.
"That kid is going to be one very special kid, because not only did he save your life," Bill said to Giuliana, "but as a result of this whole process – had we never gone through IVF, we would never have found out [about her cancer]."
"You going public [with the news]," he added, "this little guy that we're going to have has probably saved hundreds of women's lives because he will have motivated them to go out and get checked and be proactive."

Accessories for UNI-EPDS-AUD
List $1049.00 Color: White
The UNI-EPDS-AUD combines the universal PDS-PLUS-W mount with a universal short-throw projector wall mount and powerful stereo audio system. The UNI-EPDS extends up to 67 in. from the wall when used with the included arm extension. It does not require a stud located in the center of the whiteboard or screen and is easy to mount to dual studs at 16, 18 or 24 in. spacing. The included Compact Power Amplifier, CPA-50, powers the speakers and supports multiple stereo inputs for connecting to a projector, microphone and other sound sources.

How does the PDS-PLUS 12 points of contact help?
More contact points means more surface area, which equal more friction applied across the mount. This translates to a rigid mount that will not creep or sag after installation.
How is the sound quality?
We tested dozens of speakers to find just the right ones with great sound. We tuned the ports and power levels to optimize them for a standard 32 foot x 32 foot classroom without mic feedback or distortion up close.
What if I just want to purchase the audio portion, but not the short-throw mount?
To purchase just the audio portion, order the UNI-GB-AUD. There is also the option to purchase just the short-throw mount and then upgrade to audio at a later date.
The UNI-EPDS-AUD has been tested with the following OEM products.

Jessie van Eerden knew from a young age that she wanted to be a writer, but she never expected her talent would take her where it has.
"I had a brief love affair with fiction in college," van Eerden said, "but I could not figure out how to make it natural. I did not dream myself a novelist."
However, a novelist she is. Van Eerden's book, "Glorybound," is now available for purchase. "Glorybound" is an account of sisters Aimee and Crystal Lemley from Cuzzert who struggle to keep their teenage vows of silence and chastity while caring for their mother and dealing with an absent preacher father.
The novel started as a short story dreamed up during van Eerden's days as a graduate student.
"The idea came to me while I was studying non-fiction writing at the University of Iowa during my MFA program," van Eerden said. "My main writing focus was portraiture, which is character-driven essays based on reality. I got interested in creating characters and following them past the boundaries of fact."
Van Eerden found that she enjoyed getting to know a stranger in that way. She was also very interested in the idea of silence at the time, particularly why a young woman would take a vow of silence. This is from where her idea for the character Crystal Lemley came.
Van Eerden began pitching the short story to different publishers, but it flopped. Publishers thought the story was too slow, but mused that it did sound like the beginning of a novel. With that, van Eerden began writing what is now said to be a novel that award-winning author Gina Ochsner deems "shines with an interior light so fierce and lovely one cannot be anything but utterly astonished."
However, the process by which an author gets his or her work published is not an easy one. After the short story turned into an idea for a novel, it was a total of three years before the dream came to fruition.
"I was still in school, so I sat on it [the story] for a while," stated van Eerden. "I did a lot of thinking about it, and a lot of research happened. I researched rural areas, snake-handling, father-daughter relationships, Christianity in Appalachia and all its manifestations. It was definitely a process."
"Writing requires a kind of trust," continued van Eerden. "You receive it more than create it. You become sensitive to the characters and let some control go. Letting control go is an interesting balance for an artist; there's something to it."
Although she began with writing plays and poetry and has begun two more works of fiction, van Eerden does not have a favorite genre in which to write.
"I love the novel-writing process for how rich the world can be," van Eerden said, "but it takes an incredible amount of time and energy for me. It is a project."
Van Eerden is currently serving in the capacity of assistant professor of English and director of the MFA in Creative Writing program at West Virginia Wesleyan College. As a professor, she knows how important it can be for students to get a grasp on various parts of the writing process.
Even though the MFA in Creative Writing program does not put too much emphasis on the publishing process, she is now able to share her knowledge with her students.
"I have a better sense of what is publishable now," van Eerden said. "I stress to my students that quality of writing is key and to not put the cart before the horse and get their writing into the world before knowing their voice. If they get into the market too early, then the market gets into their head, and they start writing for the market instead of themselves.
"The publishing process can be discouraging and frustrating," she said. "Writing can keep you alive when you're going through rejection. A love of writing has to be what sustains you."
"Glorybound" was published and is available through WordFarm. Copies can also be obtained from van Eerden and online at book retailers. Any questions regarding the MFA in Creative Writing program at West Virginia Wesleyan can be directed to van Eerden at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Brian Domon, 54, knows a lot about chain saws. He said his curiosity was piqued over years of cutting firewood. His interest in small-engine repair, meanwhile, came from his grandfather, who owned a shop in Forestville in Chautauqua County. It seemed only natural for Domon to start a similar enterprise.
Woodcutters Headquarters was launched 30 years ago in a two-car garage with the help of Domon's father. The business and Domon's residence are located on 89 acres in Akron. His hunting cabin in the Southern Tier was built on 40 acres. Domon, his wife and their two teen daughters thrive on country living, and enjoy the opportunities it affords.
Today, this hard-working man and his three-person staff sell and service all kinds of chain saws and small machines. During this fall season, his shop rocks.
People Talk: Why do people make such a big deal of chain saws for Halloween?
Brian Domon: I haven't figured that out. It started when the first "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" movie came out in the '70s. I never saw it. I'm not into the blood and gore of Halloween. Chain saws scare people. It's the wow factor.
PT: Because of the sound?
BD: Because of the chain going around at 70 mph. Each tooth is capable of taking one inch of skin. In one second, one tooth can hit you six times. In less than a second you could cut your leg off. Ask anybody who has ever been hit by a chain saw.
PT: Did you know that chain saws are linked each year to 40,000 deaths and injuries in this country?
BD: We get customers in on a daily basis telling us they got hit by a chain saw – their leg got touched and they had 20 stitches. I have a pair of [protective] chaps that got hit by a chain saw. There are a lot of guys in the cemetery who didn't wear a pair of chaps. Too heavy, too expensive, or they think they won't get hurt. Do I wear them? I'm not going to lie, I don't. Should I? Absolutely. Why don't I get hurt? I'm just too darn lucky.
PT: There is a demand for chain saws?
BD: A very big demand: firewood cutting, tree services, utilities, municipalities, the state. We do almost a million dollars worth of business a year through this place – with three employees.
PT: What about chain saws appealed to you?
BD: I loved cutting firewood, and I was looking for a less expensive way to keep chains sharpened and to buy chains for myself. The business actually grew from a two-car garage across the street. I like to work. I'm a hard-working fool. I've had 16 surgeries to prove it from all the beating up of my body.
PT: Have you had any chain-saw mishaps?
BD: No, I've just worn out my body. I've had carpal-tunnel – both hands; the surgery is terrible. I've had three shoulder surgeries because of running a chain saw, and hoofing wood. I've had two knee replacements. It's not that I wanted to have all these things done, but I couldn't walk anymore. I actually need a hip now, too. I had stage-four arthritis.
PT: What's the newest thing in chain saws?
BD: Battery-powered chain saws are the latest technology. They've only been out two years now. It's something that needed to be done. The aging population can't start a chain saw, and when they went to the battery-powered chains some of my older customers were happy they could cut wood again – or trim their own little trees. Battery-powered chains do not last as long as gasoline powered, but there are no emissions.
PT: I can't help but think that older adults should not be handling chain saws.
BD: I had a customer as old as 93. His children said he was a totally different person because it gave him his independence back. He lived for two years longer. I actually sold a chain saw to a woman who was 103.
PT: She gave it away as a gift?
BD: No, she used it herself. She lived in Corfu, died two years ago. That woman was a wealth of information. She was a typical old farm wife. She wore the shirts her husband wore. She wore the pants her husband wore. I didn't know she was as old as she was. I thought she was 70.
PT: Why are all chain saws made for right-handed people?
BD: I've been in this business since 1979, and I've been asked that question a couple hundred times. The reason I was told by the companies is that there is such a small number of left-handed people who use a chain saw that it's not cost-effective for companies to build left-handed chain saws.
PT: Describe your personality.
BD: I can be nice when I want to be and I can be mean when I want to be. That's the truth. If you come to me with a really bad attitude, that's what you're going to get back. I don't like being yelled at more than anyone else. It's not my fault when something goes wrong. I didn't build the chain saw, and I didn't break it.
PT: What do you do for fun?
BD: I hunt. I shoot sporting clays, skeet, trap. I rifle shoot. I have a camp down in the Southern Tier. I actually placed into the money at Bradford, Pa., in the Fall Ironman Shoot. My children are into shooting as well. My oldest daughter goes down to the cabin with me. She got her first deer two years ago when she was 15. My youngest daughter could have taken a deer two weeks ago during youth shotgun season. It's something they started this year, and youth pheasant season.
PT: Your passion is hunting.
BD: Yes. I actually drive from here to South Dakota for pheasant. I just love to hunt. Actually my brother is back in my woods right now. He lives in Illinois and he comes here once a year for a month. I have deer, turkey – geese when they fly overland. We have squirrels. Down in my cabin we have grouse, woodcock. Anything I shoot I eat, no matter what it is.
PT: No kidding.
BD: Ask my wife. Two years ago me and a friend went to Illinois on a snow goose hunt. Those are the worst-tasting things on the planet. They tasted like mud.
PT: How do you know what mud tastes like?
BD: Didn't you ever eat mud when you were a kid? I did.

Two state lawmakers are proposing legislation they say will reform the process of developing a Niagara River Greenway.
State Sen. Mark Grisanti and Assemblyman Sean Ryan, in a news release, said their legislation will "create new boundaries and definitions of projects that can be funded."
Under state law, the Niagara River Greenway was to be a linear parks and trails system connecting Lake Erie and Lake Ontario along the Niagara River. The New York Power Authority, under a 50-year deal for the re-licensing of its Niagara Power Project, provides $9 million in annual funding for Greenway projects.
A recent report by the Partnership for the Public Good found that of the $50 million spent so far, roughly half has gone to projects that are far from the river.
The legislators will hold a news conference at 1 p.m. Friday at Black Rock Canal Park to talk about their proposal.

Ben Affleck is still reveling in his Oscar glory – and dwelling on the speech in which he thanked wife Jennifer Garner and acknowledged that their marriage is "work."
On Saturday, he tried to make light of the moment while hosting Saturday Night Live – and even brought Garner on stage during his monologue to help. (Watch the monologue below.)
"I thanked my wife while saying the essence of marriage is work," he said during the monologue, noting that giving an Oscar speech is "completely terrifying."
"Some uncharitable souls on the Internet took that to mean our marriage is some kind of manual labor," Affleck continued. "That's not it. You define what's important to you by what you dedicate your time to."
Garner then came on stage as her husband explained that by using the word "work" he meant to signify how they "talk privately" about their commitment as husband and wife.
"I'm not sure why you had to share it live to a billion people," Garner joked, adding that she wished he had called their marriage "a gift."
Growing sincere, Affleck told his wife, "I want to tell you how I wish I had ended that speech: I couldn't do any of the things I do without you, without your support. You're my angel, my life, my world."
And then the camera panned back – as Garner looked nonplussed – to reveal Affleck had been reading off a cue card the whole time.

Jacket: Vintage
Leotard shell: Ann Taylor
Dress: Ross?
Bag: Hermes
Boots: Capelta Couture
My hubby and I finally saw Cirque du Soleil ("Totem") for the first time live in NYC where we had our fourth anniversary. See my Instagram photo with a purple-haired female Cirque performer here and Pippo Crotti's comment. It was a lot of fun spending almost a week in the city but also a lot of spending money! Ouch. Everything we did was well worth it though. Rob and I had been eating mostly organic since he got sick, and thankfully the city had oodles of exquisite places to eat. Our favorite however was Siggy's Good Food, and we stopped by almost everyday of the week during our stay. The owner Siggy and the employees were super nice, and I almost cried when I had the almond protein smoothie.
Besides touristy activities, we also made our rounds to different shops including thrift stores (of course), and I found this old and beat up Hermes bag just laying in a bin! It's incredibly filthy and has what looks like bleach stains on it, but I had to pick it up just so that I could say I found a Hermes bag for the first time in my thrifting history!
I decided to write a bit about our New York trip that we took about a year ago, because this outfit kind of looks like a circus ensemble. It's mainly because of the stripes and the bubble sleeves on my jacket just like Rainbow Brite's. I think these Clique boots' chains that I got from Capelta Couture also add to it. These are the same exact boots worn by a girl from Jersey Shore (not a fan of that show, to be honest). The chains are actually detachable, so you can choose to wear them without the chains for a more neutral look. You can transfer the chains to some other pair of boots as well *wink*.
I know I've been hosting a lot of giveaways, and apparently that's a big no-no according to IFB. Oh honestly, I despite selling out. However, when I get a chance to give something back to you guys, I take it whenever I can. I only really give away things I generally approve of. That makes everyone happy :) Expect more freebies!
With that said, Capelta Couture has donated a pair of Clique boots to the winner of this random drawing!
The results of this giveaway are based on random drawing. Remember, the more entries you have, the more chances of winning. Good luck! Open to all (US and international) and will end on Sunday, April 14th at 12 am EST.

"Where necessary, through a range of capabilities, we will continue to take direct action against those terrorists who pose the gravest threat to Americans." — President Barack Obama, Feb. 12, 2013
The above statement is the most important thing President Obama said last night, all night. It is also the most overlooked, even ignored by most observers. Indeed, he made this statement while ticking off a list of euphemisms and platitudes regarding his administration's policy of extra-legal drone assassinations.
Still, every single representative, senator, Cabinet member, Supreme Court justice, general and admiral in the Capitol's House Chamber last night understood precisely what this statement means: Obama claims a self-asserted and self-actuating power to secretly kill anyone in any part of the world, including American citizens, on his say-so alone.
Obama went further, though. All citizens and non-citizens must understand that state murder is now an institutionalized ("normal") government function. Sure, he offered a palliative to those who just might be concerned that he had overstepped the bounds of law, morality and common decency. He told us that his folks have struggled mightily and "tirelessly to forge a durable legal and policy framework" within which to wage war against anybody anywhere in the world. And, in fact, if pressed, he would listen to opposing views and counter-proposals if only to achieve at least a modicum of transparency and legality. He deigned to even "engage with Congress to ensure … our targeting, detention and prosecution of terrorists remains consistent with our laws and system of checks and balances."
Have you heard or read since his speech, or at any time today, any "talking head" or writer even suggest that despite Obama's misleading statements to the contrary, this is the real state of American democracy in 2013?
Let's review.
This speech comes hard on the heels of the publication of a Justice Department white paper purporting to provide legal justification for Obama's claim to unchecked power to assassinate American citizens anywhere in the world—including within the territorial confines of the American nation-state itself.
Recall that he has already killed at least three Americans via drone strikes in the Middle East--not to mention thousands of innocent "foreign" men, women and children. This policy has now been expanded and enhanced to include us all. And it wipes the slate clean of hundreds of years of democratic principles and practices, including most especially the Bill of Rights, wherein the guarantee of "due process of law" is enshrined as the gold standard of and template for this and every other putative democratic government on Earth.
This means that this nation-state has taken unto itself all of the unquestioned (and unquestionable) powers that once only thrived within fascist regimes and military juntas. The white paper, however, was only an add-on to the promulgation and passage by Congress of military funding measures which blessed indefinite military arrest and detention of "suspected" terrorists and their alleged supporters, including US citizens.
Next up for Senate confirmation is Obama's choice to head up the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan. He is the incumbent chief White House counterterrorism adviser and the designer, architect, implementer and overseer of the administration's drone assassination program.
Why is no one asking why this happening right before our eyes?
The answer is that Obama has always been supremely adept at using left-sounding rhetoric to provide a progressive sheen to reactionary, anti-working class policies, programs and practices.
You see, Obama only poses as the great defender of the great American middle class. His use of that term is but an abstraction which renders invisible what and who most of us really are—get-up-in-the-morning working-class stiffs. His assertion that government is supposed to work "on behalf of the many, and not just the few" does not comport with the reality that most of us live with 365 days of every year. It is a nice-sounding idea or hoped-for goal. But it does not relate in any tangible sense to the actual existing conditions under which most of us must live in this money-driven, commodified-capitalist, consumer-credit and greed-based society. Yet Obama doggedly pursues policies and practices which facilitate as much as humanly possible this distorted version of class warfare. It's a war wherein the owners of capital grow and remain rich almost beyond measure, while the true "makers" of goods and services, the creators of capital -- us--struggle daily simply to "make it," to subsist, to survive.
Obama had the gall to brag about cutting $2.5 trillion from the deficit, "mostly through spending cuts." But that is only the beginning. He wants to now cut hundreds of billions more from the so-called entitlement programs—Medicare and Social Security—upon which tens of millions of elderly Americans depend.
He uses Republican proposals for even deeper cuts as a misdirection move, because, in the end, he will make damn near the very same cuts. When he calls for eliminating tax loopholes for the wealthy, he couches this as "everybody doing their share." Somebody needs to ask him, though, the same thing he asks of the Republicans: Can you be specific, Mr. President, about which loopholes you mean?
He proposed to make America a "magnet for new jobs and manufacturing," and he lauded the return of some manufacturing jobs by Caterpillar, Ford, Intel and Apple from their overseas operations. But he failed to mention that these returning jobs were effectuated only because the feds and state governments agreed to massive cuts in workers' wages and benefits. He also said nothing about the virtually complete neutering of all workers' union activity.
Finally, Obama's proposal to raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour would, in fact, still leave a family of just three trying to hold on with a paycheck still below the already ridiculously low official poverty line.

Matthew McConaughey has bulked up for roles in films like Magic Mike, but when he had to lose weight for a project, he called in the expert – Tom Hanks.
"I actually called Tom and had a great conversation with him about what he learned about losing weight for Philadelphia and Cast Away," McConaughey told PEOPLE at the Dallas Buyers Club junket in Beverly Hills on Saturday. "And I consulted a nutritionist about the best way to do this."
The actor was 185 lbs. when he began losing weight for his role as an HIV-positive man dealing with his diagnosis. McConaughey thought he would stop at 145 lbs.
"I was going around and people were going, 'Hey, are you feeling all right?" McConaughey says of reaching his initial goal. "But then I hit 135 lbs. I ran in to somebody and they didn't just ask if I was all right, they said, 'My God, we need to get you some help.' And I thought, 'There we go. That's the perfect spot.' "
While the father of three significantly slashed his daily caloric intake to lose the weight, he says he was not fearful of the health risks that can be associated with significant weight fluctuation and insists he felt energized throughout the process.
"I fed myself good food, just not much of it. I found through this journey that the human body is much more resilient than we give it credit for," says the actor, who is set to receive the "Hollywood Actor Award" at the Hollywood Film Awards on Oct. 21.
"Somebody told me they heard a story about how I didn't have any energy on set, but I was kind of uncontainable with energy. All the acuity, energy and power I lost from the neck down transferred to the neck up."
Watch PEOPLE.com's exclusive live-streaming show with interviews from the red carpet of the Hollywood Film Awards in Monday, Oct. 21, starting at 9 p.m. ET.

ST. ANTON, Austria � Alice McKennis of the United States earned her first World Cup victory by winning a downhill Saturday, and Lindsey Vonn was sixth after returning from a nearly monthlong break.
McKennis had never finished in the top three before coming down the Karl Schranz course in 1 minute, 14.62 seconds to beat Daniela Merighetti of Italy by 0.07.
�I am overwhelmed, extremely happy and excited,� McKennis said. �It�s definitely a dream come true.�
Anna Fenninger of Austria was third, and overall World Cup leader Tina Maze of Slovenia finished fourth.
Wearing bib. No. 4, McKennis used the advantage of an early start on a course that was softened by fresh snow during the past two days.
�I felt pretty good, and I felt I had nailed it, but it�s hard running so early as you don�t know,� McKennis said. �It was pretty nerve-wrecking waiting for the next hour. I was just freaking out the whole time.�
Some racers, including fellow Americans Vonn, Julia Mancuso and Stacey Cook, clocked at least one faster split time. But no one matched McKennis� strong finish.
Vonn, the defending overall champion who returned to the circuit after recovering from an intestinal illness, was 0.34 behind, while her American teammate Laurenne Ross was fifth, 0.32 off the lead.
�I am extremely happy for our whole team, Alice winning today, and Laurenne,� Vonn said. �The strength of our whole team has been fun to watch. It makes me happy to be part of such a great group of girls. The success we�re having this year is pretty incredible.�
After the top racers came down and she had all but secured the victory, the 23-year-old McKennis walked through the finish area looking at the stands, searching for her father Greg.
�He wasn�t really much of a racer, but he put a lot of work in getting me here,� said McKennis, who grew up at a ranch near Glenwood Springs (New Castle area).
�I wouldn�t be here without him, so a lot of credit to him. It�s great having him here.�
McKennis became the fifth American winner of a World Cup race this season after Vonn, Mikaela Shiffrin, Steven Nyman and Ted Ligety, who took a giant slalom in Adelboden, Switzerland, just moments after McKennis won Saturday in Austria.
�It�s been so exciting, especially watching the men�s speed team get back up there,� McKennis said. �And obviously Ted winning the race today, that�s awesome. And Mikaela, she�s incredible at such a young age (17), pretty inspiring.
�We all push each other, we all want to be the best ... It�s been a goal for every single one of us to get on the podium, and we�ve almost done that with the speed team now.�
Vonn won two downhill races this season but failed to finish the third, in St. Moritz, Switzerland, where Lara Gut of Switzerland placed first. Days later, Vonn went back to the United States to get her physical strength back after her illness and returned for training on snow in Austria last week.
�I feel great. I am really happy to be back. I love the adrenaline at the start and going fast again. I really felt good,� Vonn said after the race. �These were definitely tough conditions. The snow was definitely not great, but the course workers did a great job on it. I almost didn�t think that it was possible to run today because there was just too much snow.�
Vonn and Cook, who finished 22nd, remained 1-2 in the downhill standings.
�I definitely made some mistakes. But in general I felt good, and I felt like my skiing was where it should be. I felt strong,� Vonn said. �Of course, it�s downhill so I am hoping to be on the podium, but considering the conditions I am extremely happy with this result. You make one mistake and you are easily in 20th or 30th place. So I think, all things considered, it was a real good performance.�
As snow at the top of the course was too soft, organizers decided to use the lower super-G start, shortening the initial 2.2-kilometer long downhill course by 436 meters.
�It was definitely a disadvantage to start later,� said Vonn, who started 17th. �The later numbers had a hard time except for Merighetti; she skied amazing. This was a great result for my first race back.�
A women�s super-G on the same course is scheduled for Sunday.

Last January, actress Valerie Harper sat in her doctor's office, listening as he broke the grim news that she had terminal brain cancer and might not live through the spring.
But for the past two weeks, the actress has been enduring grueling four-hour-a-day dance rehearsals in anticipation of her Sept. 16 debut on Dancing with The Stars.
"I feel much better," Harper, 74, tells PEOPLE. "And my brain scans are looking better too. The doctors tell me there's less evidence of cancer, which is very unusual. However, they both say it's not a case of if, but when. And I can live with that."
Harper broke the news that she has leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare, lethal form of cancer that strikes the membranes surrounding the brain, in PEOPLE this past March. Her inspiring attitude of living each day to the fullest touched millions, so it's hardly surprising that the former Broadway dancer signed on to appear on the hit ABC show, dancing beside Tristan MacManus.
"When they asked, I thought, 'Why would I say no?' " says Harper. "When life asks you to dance, you just have to dance."
Her biggest fear, she insists, is messing up. "I'd been asked to do this before, but I always said no because I started dancing on Broadway at 17," she says. "It helped pay for my acting lessons. And I didn't want to appear on the show and fumble because of my diagnosis."
But ever since June, her doctors have been "ecstatic" with the results of her brain scans, which have begun showing increasingly "less evidence of cancer." Buoyed by the diagnosis and physically feeling better than she has in months, Harper hopes it "might prove inspiring to people to see a 74-year-old woman with terminal cancer dancing."
Harper is so serious about her performance on the show that, with her doctors' blessings, she's rearranging her treatment schedule for the powerful medication she's been taking to combat her cancer.
"After she takes it, she doesn't feel good for about a day and a half," says husband Tony Cacciotti. "So right after the show on Monday nights, she'll take it and then take a break from practices until Wednesday afternoons."

"The other day," she laughs, "I told the wardrobe supervisor, 'Your job is to take six inches off my butt.' "
