I felt Pang/Tong got cheated on this one. They should have won.
Other than that, I'm a fan of James/Cipres and Castelli/Shnapir now.

Bah! V/T leave me cold.
P/T should have won!
They are anointed, regardless. I like V/T, but I don't like they will be held up if they make minor mistakes. I think they might be better if they tried harder to be themselves more on the ice. ITA, I don't like their sp, but it's not as bad as their sp from last season. Their fp seems to need more mileage -- doesn't seem like all the parts come together that well.
Pairs was not so interesting until later , though i really like Tatiana and Maxim i felt overall Pang and Tong had the better performance, and with that music it was just beautiful.
Coughlin and Maxim seem to get along very well on the podium. Mock commiseration. I feel more sorry for P/T not winning here.
Max and Tatiana know they were over-scored. They are not happy. Neither are P/T.

P/T didn't get anything for their death spiral, which was a four-five point loss.
i mean, i can't ever see a layback spin that doesn't end in a haircutter or bielmann anymore. that's why i was so thrilled to see kozuka's scratch spin at just the right choreographic moment in his LP. thank goodness it didn't cost him a level and a win...
ETA i'm not saying COP has zero merit. well, since i'm now a fan of a skater who's finished 16th after the SP at nationals. under 6.0 it would be game over, man...

really PT's both programs,,,,
and have to admire Russia Skating Federation,,,, no clean throws, 1 lift always failed can still get 1st place...well done!
thank you for that insight from Mr. Nicks. i *loved* jenny's death spiral entrance *and* position better than even the great russian pairs such as G&G... though of course G&G had nice death spirals and didn't skate in an era that rewarded difficulty in the same way.
jenny's death spirals are gorgeous, but i think underhill and martini had the nicest forward inside death spirals and the nicest backward outside (?) death spirals. i re-watch unchained melody for the death spirals more than the sensuality these days... ^___^ the wirtzes from canada had nice death spirals too... *feels old*
I am a P/T fan obviously but I cant objectively say they should have won. V/T didnt skate poorly, and technically they are alot stronger at this point, and while I much prefer the emotion and chemistry of P/T's program tonight, V/T are a more polished team with better unision, and also better basic skating.
V/T made mistakes,yes, but they still were the class of the field. It's like as they are V/M or D/W of pairs skating - even if they make mistakes or fall, they are not too low.
Tanya/Max had a better LP in Nebelhorn but hopefully they will be in their A game in Cup of Russia, I read an interview that Maxim said going to Skate America will not be easy because they wanted a later Grand Prix event to prepare/polish their programs and because of the time difference

Tours of a Lifetime
National Geographic
Top 3, Best Values in the World
Travel & Leisure
taken from Vacation Time is Precious the blog of Michael Kaye
In late March Wendy Perrin, Conde Nast Traveler's Director of Consumer News and Digital Community, published her A-to-Z Guide to Traveling with Kids, and asked her readers to do the same, offering a prize for the best one.
Since then she has been published her favorites. Now Wendy has announced the winner along with a compendium of her favorites. Especially if you are traveling with children, you should be sure to read them.
I'm flattered that Wendy included my list below. If you already read it on Wendy's blog, just scroll down quickly to look at the pictures.
I already wrote about "B," "G," "N," and "T" in my post Traveling with Children. If you read that, you can skip them.
A is for Attitude: It's yours to choose. Which one you choose will make all the difference. Enough said.
B is for Binoculars: One of the great benefits of travel is that it shows you new worlds. Binoculars show you new worlds within new worlds. Binoculars are on virtually all "What to Bring" lists for nature travel, but they are almost as valuable for other kinds of travel as well. They are not of much use inside the Louvre, but they are great for seeing the details of the molding above the cornice on the exterior of the Louvre. The same binoculars that work for bird watching work for people watching.
C is for Calm: Things can go wrong when you travel. Getting excited seldom helps.
D is for Don't Drag Teenagers: The best way I know to ruin a family trip is to drag along a teenager who would rather be home with her friends.
E is for Expectations: Keep them realistic. It is not realistic to expect a family that is not getting along at home to magically bond on vacation—at least not with each other.
F is for Fun: It is the main point of taking a vacation especially with kids. Have it.
G is for Guides: If the purpose of the trip is for you and your kids to learn about a culture, natural or human, other than your own, try to find a really good guide.
I am not talking about the kind of guide who gives canned speeches. I am talking about the kind of guide who asks the right questions: For example, "How do you think families in ancient Rome were different from modern families in your country?" And then, "How do you think families in modern Rome are different from modern families in your country?" Really great guides who can transform a perfectly good vacation into an extraordinary magical experience are trained professionals and they do not come cheap. If money is a factor, skimp on hotels, but don't skimp on the guide.
H is for Help: Ask for it when you need it.
I is for intolerant: See J.
J is for Judge: Discourage your kids from doing it to other ways of life.
This is a happy child. She does not need pity—or shoes.
K is for Kite: Bring one. I've never done this or scene anyone who has, but it does not seem like such a bad idea, and I could not think of anything for K.
L is for Loose: Stay it.
M is Maps: Take as many as you can and pore over them. If there is a difference between the map and the ground. The Map's wrong.
N is for No Digital Distractions: (except on flights):Game boys, disc men, iPods etc are invaluable for keeping kids entertained at airports and on long flights. However, once they are at the destination the experience will not be very nourishing if they shut out the sights and sounds of where they are with the portable sights and sounds of home. Make the deal before you leave, digital distraction ends when you get there. It will cause serious withdrawal for some kids—which is not such a bad thing.
O is for Others: Teach your kids to be considerate of them
P is for Pace: Make it slow Getting everybody packed up and moving is often the most stressful part of the trip—especially when a favorite toy is left behind at your last destination. Unless everybody in the family is experienced travelers, pick one or two places and stay put.
Q is for Questions: Ask them. It is the best way to meet people. If your kids are bored try sending them forth to ask a question. Any question will do. If nothing else comes to mind, pick somebody and suggest your kid ask her where she got her blouse. If your kid is too timid to do it, you do it. It's not fair to ask your kid to do something you won't. Also you'll find as soon as you ask the question your kid will magically no longer be bored—embarrassed maybe, but not bored.
R is for Retreat: If a particular excursion or activity is not going well, retreat and try something else. The idea of a vacation is to enjoy it, not endure it.
S is for Sunburn: Avoid it.
T is Take em out of School: If you want your kids to truly love and savor travel, schedule your family trip for a time when school is in session. There are two main reasons for this. The first is that because they will not be distracted relating to all the other kids from their country and class who are traveling at the same time, they will be much more able to appreciate where they are. The second is that unless they are fortunate enough to go to one of the roughly five percent of schools that are worthwhile, they will appreciate it that you rescued them from school.
U is for Uncertainty: Embrace it.
V is for Vaccinations: Probably a good idea.
W is for Wonder: It is what travel is all about.
X is for the X-ray machine at the airport security checkpoint: which parents might try to appreciate—tough as it may be—for the crucial life skills it can impart. Your kids get to practice waiting their turn, and tying and untying their shoes. Disclosure: This is shamelessly plagerized from Wendy's list, but it is highly unfair for her to challenge us to do this and after she has already taken X-ray machine.
Y is for Yarns: And yarns are for spinning. Tell each other stories every night. Exaggerate a little. It's allowed.
Z is for Zest: Have it at all times

Tia's Junior All-Star Academy is not your average summer camp. The lessons these young women learned will change them for the better and stick with them for the rest of their lives.
Camp founder Tia Brewer-Footman is a former television news reporter turned celebrity branding strategist. For her, the camp is a way to "pay it forward."
"I see me in them ... My mother was my first speech coach. There were powerful women in my life who mentored me. That changed my life," Brewer-Footman said.
The two-day camp was held at Trident Technical College last Friday and Saturday and was centered on three principles: "Celebrate her brilliance, stretch her vision capacity and affirm her world of possibilities."
Classes for the 9- to 18-year-olds included public speaking taught by Brewer-Footman and posture taught by personal development and model coach Nina Nesbitt. Other classes included Christian yoga; social, dining and internet etiquette; self-esteem; and giving back to the community.
Sylvia White has brought young women from her church, New Life Christian Fellowship in Goose Creek, to the camp for the past two years. She said the girls from last year still talk about the camp to this day.
"When girls know who they are early in life, it gives them the power to make brilliant, authentic choices. They learn about this vision and they are empowered to make these choices," White said. She also has a program to empower youth called Visions Kids Network, a nonprofit for boys and girls in low-income neighborhoods.
Brewer-Footman said she got the idea for the camp only eight weeks before it started for the first time last year. She said she remembers the positive influences in her life as a child and attributes her success to their guidance. She said she wishes she could spend all year with "her girls," but chose to have them vote on a protege to take under her wing for an entire year. She hopes to expand the camp to a year-long program in the next few years.
"By the time this is over we're going to be family," Brewer-Footman told the girls as she hugged every single one of them on the first day of camp.
On the last day of camp the girls voted on Berkeley High School senior Kelsey Stephens, an aspiring pediatrician, to be this year's protege.
"Most girls don't have confidence and look to others," Stephens said. She said she wanted to attend the camp to not only empower herself, but also to be a positive influence to her peers.
Last year's protege, Teriah Crabtree, a senior at Military Magnet Academy, aspires to attend Johns Hopkins University to become an anesthesiologist. She was supposed to come back this year as a mentor, but she was attending a summer program at Johns Hopkins.
"I've always seen Mrs. Tia on television, but (the camp) was my first time meeting her. I'm very humbled to be able to work with her," Teriah said last year.
The woman who made Brewer-Footman who she is today, her mother Patricia Brewer-Frazier, was there for support, too.
"It's just an awesome feeling to see her evolve," Brewer-Frazier said. "Coming from a small town, statistically she shouldn't be here."
Brewer-Footman said it is important for parents to "speak life" into their children. She also advises them to spend meaningful, quality time with their children and get them involved in things that keep their minds active.
"It doesn't have to cost a lot of money. There are things out there that are free. Never let them sit idle," Brewer-Frazier said.
Brewer-Frazier taught a "Mom to Mom" session for parents this year and the year before.
"She's just an awesome lady. Her story about being a single mother raising children is very touching and one that any mother can relate to," Teriah Crabtree's mother, Shanteisha Crabtree, a single parent herself, said of Brewer-Frazier last year.

Understood, I wasn't implying it was the paper's fault, but I didn't make that clear.

Thank a liberal democrat. They think all criminals should be given the 'advantage' before arresting them. Hmm....maybe it's because they find themselves in that position so often!!

Donors and Devastation: Connecting the Dots edit
Driven in on flatbed trucks, dropped off from backpacks and carted in on wagons, donations for Sandy survivors began arriving in Staten Island after Super Storm destroyed nearly everything in its wake.
As donors pulled in, many making their first visit ever to this island floating between Brooklyn and Bayonne, they faced the same key question. Where could donations be safely stored so they would be disbursed quickly to those most in need?
Catholic Charities stepped forward immediately to offer its cavernous gym at Mission of the Immaculate Virgin Mount Loretto in Staten Island. Now serving as a makeshift warehouse and distribution center organized and staffed by Catholic Charities, the gym is stocked with heaters, dehumidifiers, tools and supplies. Most resources are limited as donated stock can change daily.
The donation center illustrates yet another support system cobbled together by social service and government agencies, corporations and private donors to help Sandy survivors rebuild their homes and lives.
"What's available today may be gone by tomorrow," says Catholic Charities Community Development Coordinator Lourdes Ferrer. "With Disaster Case Management things are constantly evolving."
Statewide, more than 5,000 of Sandy survivors receive disaster case management services. Managed by Catholic Charities, the New York State Disaster Case Management Program whittles down the complex system of disaster support by providing survivors with a single point of contact to access a broad range of resources.
Catholic Charities hired two full-time staff members to oversee the donation center and ensure fair distribution of its wares. The agency also partnered with other Staten Island bases organizations to assure that all residents affect by Sandy, have access to the donated items and materials.
"When disasters happen, people just want everything fixed so they can get back to life as it was, but sometimes that's not possible; sometimes there are no quick fixes," Ms. Ferrer says. "Disaster case managers play a very important and difficult role in the recovery process. They have to maintain people's confidence and keep them calm while walking them through a recovery process that can take years."
• If you were affected by Superstorm Sandy or know someone who was, contact your Case Manager to access needed materials.
• If you do not have a case manager, contact the Sandy DCM Referral Line at 855-258-0483.

City adds 2 officers
January 26, 2013
The city is adding two more police officers to the department complement, bringing it from 47 up to 49....
"People are doing what the people in our community aren't doing?" How about most of us are paying the taxes that pay the salaries. Would be nice to add to our tax base. There are enough "good" areas in Williamsport with good housing.People are usually a bit more invested in the area they where they reside. If Williamsport isn't good enough to live in, why should we pay salaries and huge pensions for officers to live in another municipality?

Let's not act like we are in inner-city Philadelphia. Sure there is crime, but considering the economic times and hikes in rental costs I think things could be a lot worse.

Progressive hit the nail right on the head! You should invest where you live, if no investment, it means nothing but a paycheck.

More sheltered non city individuals hired to police the city. Williamsport should require it's officers to live in the jurisdiction they police. Bigger cities do it. If Wilpo had this requirement I guarantee there would be more "community policing" and less Nazi style aggression in our neighborhoods.

They don't seem to have a problem in the larger cities with female officers. Wonder why here in PoDunkWilliamsport? Probably the caliber of female and the level of stupidity of the males already on the force! Read between the lines folks!

I've been there, where I had so much going on in my own little world that I failed to notice what my very dear friends or neighbors were struggling with.
(I know that place like the back of my hand.)
And it's true, sometimes our minds are so full and we are in such a survival mode that it's impossible to focus on anything or anyone else, to even think to ask how someone else is doing,
but there are times that our hearts need to reach out and give service, energy, a listen, a love to someone else...
(Locals, this is where you come in.)
My very dear friend Jen is organizing a spaghetti dinner & bake sale fundraiser for her nephew James. He is just six years old and was recently diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
I actually knew his father Marcus way long ago before I even met Jen. Their whole family is just precious. Will you join my family at this spaghetti dinner on Saturday December 12 from 2-8pm?
The deets:
Dec 12, 2-8 pm
Portage First United Methodist Church
2637 McCool Rd.
Tickets are a minimum donation asked of $5 per person, kids 3 & under are free.
All funds raised will help ease the burden of the medical bills and expenses associated with James' cancer treatments.
You can also follow along this family's journey by becoming a fan of the Jump In For James Facebook page.
If you're unable to attend the spaghetti dinner but would still like to help, you can do so via PayPal on the Facebook page.
I'll be there with my whole fam. We'll probably go around 4-ish but if you want to know the exact time, just email me or what not.
Thank you for your prayers and positive thoughts for sweet James.
Again, group hug.

Observations on British and American English
by an American linguist in the UK
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
--George Bernard Shaw
BrE = British English
AmE = American English
OED=Oxford English Dictionary (2nd edn. [1989], unless otherwise noted)

some pronunciation links
So, as a placeholder until my next bit of blogging time, here are a couple of links that were pointed out to me this week.
First, an academic link. Linguists at the University of Edinburgh have put together a website called Sound Comparisons that allows you to hear the sounds of a variety of English accents from around the native-English-speaking world. You can either click on a region/dialect and get the full set of sounds for that dialect, or you can click on a word and see/listen to all of the different pronunciations of that word. I'm sure this site will come in handy for future discussions here.
Second, a fairly silly link: the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre has a Doctor Who-themed video that plays a bit on the spelling/pronunciation confusions that are possible in non-rhotic dialects --as we've discussed before. For you to discuss: do the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppets have Scottish accents?

"You guys" = 'you (pl.)' can probably now be called younger BrE. My stepson, now 38, who has had little face-to-face contact with North Americans, uses it unselfconsciously addressing his mother and me.

The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppets do indeed have Scottish accents. They sound eastern Scottish to me. They are also pretty funny, in my opinion.

I know you got to the Dr. Who take-off from the Torchwood one I sent to you. Question: why did you choose Scottish dialect from Dr. Who instead of Welsh dialect from Torchwood? :)
- 21 February, 2008 17:49

Because the Torchwood one didn't make a postvocalic 'r' joke!
I was wondering about the Scottish puppets' Scottish accents because it seemed to me that someone with a Scottish accent wouldn't have a 'Dalek/Darlek' confusion, since Scottish accents are typically rhotic. I believe that the comedian who "assists" the puppets (Kev F. Sutherland) doesn't have a Scottish accent.
- 21 February, 2008 19:17
Yes I wondered about that too, but I decided to go for the willing suspension of disbelief. Besides, up here we are so used to seeing TV make puns which just are not puns in a Scottish accent that we tend to get what they mean and there really isn't anything particularly exceptional about that. And then there's "Scottish RP"...

I have a question about non-postvocalic Rs. I sometimes hear English people pronounce the Rs in words like 'reason' or 'dream' in way that, to my AmE ears, sounds half way between an R and a W. So "tree" would probably sound half way between an American "tree" and an American "twee" (if an American would ever say it). Also, I don't think any Australians would do this.
Is this a known thing, or am I just making it up? If it is known, what is known about what kind of people do it? My feeling is that it's more common in younger Southerners, but that could just be because they're who I tend to hear.

Yes. Although they quite strongly resemble the Reeves and Mortimer characters Donald and Davey Stott, who were supposed to be Geordies.

Yes, a minority of English people use a labiodental approximant for that sound. I was just about to launch into an explanation of this, complete with a recommendation to look up Jonathan Ross on youtube, but fortunately I did a search first and someone at the BBC saved me the trouble: http://www.bbc.co.uk/kent/voices2005/labio_dentals.shtml

We've missed YOU, too, but completely understand.
I have to tell you a "you guys" story. Although I was born in Oklahoma, I spent my junior high and high school years in Southern Illinois. I picked up "you guys" while living there. (In comparison, my younger brother, who spent those same years in Texas, will say "ya'll" until the day he dies, I'm sure!) I made a trip to my Internist (UK "GP") in Houston before moving over to the UK in 2002. I knew the office staff well...and when I walked in, I said, "How are you guys doing?" (they were all female). One of them looked up, chuckling, and said something about knowing the part of the country I'd grown up in by my use of that expression.
I used it by accident during a class I was teaching in Singapore last month. The 3 women in the class (all Chinese) looked at me in confusion/horror. I had to quickly explain the term...and apologize profusely!!!

Man charged with trying to sell daughter for bail money
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Police say a Kingsport man tried to sell his daughter, and now he's behind bars.
According to a press release from Kingsport police, Shawn Wayne Hughes asked his daughter's great-grandmother to loan him money to bond his girlfriend out of jail.
When she refused, police say Hughes called the grandmother three times and offered to sign over legal custody of his daughter for the $1,500 needed for bail money.
We're told police were present during those phone calls and listened to the conversations through speakerphone. Police say they instructed the grandmother to accept the offer, and that's when they say Hughes set up a time to meet and complete the transaction.
Police tell us they met Hughes at the determined location and arrested him.
Hughes is now charged with illegal payments in connection with placement of a child and drug possession; officers say he had five pills without a prescription when arrested.
Hughes is now in the Kingsport city jail..

5 Things That Should Be on Every Apocalypse To-Do List
#2. Indulge
Digital Vision./Photodisc/Getty Images
You know how some people work like dogs all their lives and squirrel money away for retirement and they're the most responsibly dull people ever because they have this life course plotted out and they know how their interest compounds for the next 20 years so they're aware they'll have a million dollars on the exact day they retire? Well now we're all doomed, so I bet they feel like assholes.
It's great to plan for tomorrow, until you run out of tomorrows. Now it's time to indulge yourself and live it up while you still have a chance. We're all conditioned to mete out pleasures to ourselves in tiny little bundles because we know we can't live like hedonists forever, drunk all the time, eating chicken wings covered in fudge while dancing with robot strippers and cloning dinosaurs. Because on Monday we have to go to work, or maybe someone will call the cops about the way we change the oil in our robot strippers and life changes from all the chicanery of The Hangover to the morbid depression of The Hangover 3. It sucks. Or it used to. This is one of the big upsides to the world ending: responsibility ends a few days earlier. No one gives a shit what you do now, and leading the not-giving-a-shit charge should be you.
Do you want to eat nothing but bacon-wrapped Big Macs stuffed with tacos until the world ends? Do it! Buy one for me if anyone is dumb enough to show up for work at a McDonald's knowing that the world is ending. Do you want to be drunk and naked until the bitter end? Literally no one is going to stop you or even question you. In fact, you may inspire some dude who still has his pants on to grab some Jim Beam and join you.
#1. Be Who You Were Meant to Be
Goodshoot/Goodshoot/Getty Images
If you're like me, your whole life is a ramshackle tower of deception and exaggeration built on a shaky foundation of desperation. Every so often, though, the genuine me shines through in an unadulterated, sincere way. I like to think most people are like this, to a greater or lesser degree. You keep yourself guarded, you share only so much of your true feelings, your dreams, your motivations, your desires. You fear the rejection of your innermost self so you guard it like it's the most precious thing you own. And in a lot of ways it is. More precious than jewels, or even sweet, nourishing beer.
There are occasions in life when people become aware that they are dying, and no doubt this drastically alters their perception of themselves, others, and the world in general. But what if we all knew it? Would there be any need for pretense anymore? Any need to hold back? Imagine, even for a day, being part of a world in which no one is afraid to be themselves, to say all the secret things they keep deep down inside. Sure, you're going to find the odd duck who wants you to accept that he's always wanted to hump a donkey, but overall it'd probably be a much more positive and liberating experience.

"I'm sorry, the gentleman wants to do what?"
It's a tragedy that we live in fear of ourselves, and in fear of how others will react to us if we live our lives unfiltered. It is our insecurities and doubts and ignorance that we keep quiet inside of us that lead to all of our regrets, misunderstandings, and hate. And this builds across individuals to encompass whole societies and countries. How different would your world be if you felt free to tell every person you know what you think is beautiful about them -- their kindness, their wit, their sex appeal, their intelligence. How different would your world be if people told you such things about yourself? If you not only felt valued by close friends in an unspoken or rarely spoken way, but knew explicitly that your presence made someone excited to meet the day because they knew you'd be in it.
Of course the downer that everyone is dying takes some of the wind out of the sails of that scenario and makes our little touchy-feely utopia more depressing, but hey, you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet, and sometimes you need an apocalypse before you can work up the nerve to tell your hot friend that you always smell her hair and secretly think about licking her neck when she walks by. Not in a creepy way, though. Actually maybe just take that one to the great beyond.
Also, one more thing to do before the apocalypse takes us all is check out This Is the End, and learn more from the masters.

For Simpson, who turns 34 on July 10, it proved be one of the most beautiful moments as well. As seen in PEOPLE's photo exclusive, the bride chose a wedding day look that was "sexy, easy and ethereal," says Simpson's hair stylist Roque Jimenez. "Nothing too contrived."
To complement her stunning custom Carolina Herrera gown and veil, Simpson's makeup artist Karan Mitchell chose a romantic palette for her makeup. And to add some simple sparkle, Simpson's longtime friend and stylist Nicole Chavez added Neil Lane diamond earrings.
"It was a labor of love," says Chavez of putting together Simpson's wedding day look.
Same could be said for the event itself. "The whole weekend was magical for us," Simpson tells PEOPLE. "We feel complete."

A new study points to the dangers of heading soccer balls, even if there's no concussion
In March, I wrote about Natasha Helmick, a star soccer player from Allen who experienced multiple concussions heading, and how she has taken it as her mission to protect others from the longterm brain damage that can result from failing to treat concussions immediately and thoroughly. You can read about that here.
Now, a new disturbing study from researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York has emerged that suggests that players who haven't had concussions but who have headed the ball "more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information," according to this popular New York Times story here.
Experts in the story recommend that kids younger than 12 shouldn't be heading at all. Older children should limit how often they head and repeated heading drills are probably a bad idea. How does this affect the way you feel about your child playing soccer? Is this something that parents should be talking with coaches about?

DeLand, Fla. - Stetson's Corey Walden and Luis Jacobo have been named to the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Freshman Team for the 2010-11 season. The All-Conference and All-Freshman teams are voted on by the league's head coaches.
The Hatter teammates become just the third pair of teammates to make the All-Freshmen Team in the last seven years. The Jacksonville duo of Ben Smith and Lehmon Colbert made the five-man squad in 2006-07. One season later, Adnan Hodzic and Josh Slater made the team from Lipscomb.
Walden finished the season 2nd on the team in scoring with 12.0 points per game and fourth in rebounding with 3.3 per game. He is 2nd in the conference in steals with 2.33 per game and 9th in assists at 3.25 per game. His 56 steals this season is 10th best all-time at Stetson. He was also 3rd in the conference in free throw shooting with an .825 percentage from the line. Walden was named the Atlantic Sun Conference Newcomer of the Week for the week ending February 7.
Jacobo finished up his inaugural season 3rd on the team and 28th in the league in scoring at 9.2 points per game and 3rd on the team in rebounds with 4.0 per game. In league games Jacobo finished 19th with 11.4 points per game and was 11th in 3-point field goal percentage at .380. He was named the Atlantic Sun Conference Newcomer of the Week for the week ending January 17th, and again this past week after putting up 28 points and 11 rebounds in final game of the season. Jacobo registered two double-doubles on the year.

pair of researchers at Arizona State University has announced a new
advancement in making nanowires that could one day lead to
significantly more efficient solar panels and LED lighting that is
color changeable. The engineers who made the advance are Cun-Zheng
Ning and Alian Pan.The pair are working on ways to improve
the quaternary alloy semiconductor nanowire raw materials.
The nanowires the pair work with are nanometers in diameter and tens
of microns in length. They are made from four elements, typically by
alloying two or more compound semiconductors.The researchers
say that the band gap is the most important thing that controls how
solar panels absorb sunlight and what color light LEDs produce. The
more available band gaps for solar panels, the more of the spectrum
of light panels will be able to absorb. With LEDs, more band gaps
mean more colors of light can be produced. The big
hurdle for the researchers is that naturally occurring and manmade
semiconductors today only have a specific band gap. The only way to
widen the band gap available to the semiconductor is to compound two
or more semiconductors. The trick to accomplishing the alloy of
semiconductors is that they two have to have a lattice with similar
inter-atomic spaces to match and be grown together.Ning said,
"This is why we cannot grow alloys of arbitrary compositions to
achieve arbitrary band gaps. This lack of available band gaps is one
of reasons current solar cell efficiency is low, and why we do not
have LED lighting colors that can be adjusted for various
situations."So far, the team has been able to create a
zinc sulfide and cadmium selenide alloy to produce a quaternary
semiconductor – this is the first time that a quaternary
semiconductor has been produced in the form of a nanowire or
nanoparticle. The team is now studying the application and use of the
quaternary alloy materials for making solar cells and has developed a
lateral multi-cell design panel.
quote: Exactly, how many times do I have to read the same bullshit article saying "new technologies allow for solar panels to be cheaper and more efficient"....and then nothing happens. Yea. Maybe we should stop reporting this crap until a real, affordable product comes out that uses it.
quote: The US DOE has been spending billions on solar technology since the late 1970s.

LOCKPORT – A Lockport man described by a Niagara County Drug Task Force officer as "a heavy drug dealer" was sentenced to an additional 18 months in state prison Tuesday.
Kurtis R. Washington, 22, of Cottage Street, had pleaded guilty in November to fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance for selling cocaine Dec. 5, 2011, on Elmwood Avenue in Lockport.
The decision by County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III came as Washington was expecting to be released from a six-month state prison "shock incarceration" program next week on his previous conviction for attempted fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He had crack cocaine in Lockport Dec. 17, 2011.

Is it possible Punxsutawney Phil may have missed seeing his shadow on Saturday?
With temperatures expected to remain below freezing today and Tuesday along with the possibility of some light snow, there's little sign that spring is on its way as predicted by the furry groundhog.
"Basically, we are going to have a series of weak Alberta Clipper systems dropping through the area through the middle of the week," said National Weather Service forecaster Craig Evanego. "As each one passes, we'll have a chance of snow showers or even a period of steady snow. We're not expecting any big snowfalls."

MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
Canada geese and a couple of mallard ducks swim on cold winter's day last week at Susquehanna State Park.
For today it will be mostly cloudy with a 40 percent chance of snow in the afternoon.
Snow accumulations will amount to less than a half inch.
The high temperature will be 27 degrees.
There's a chance of snow showers Tuesday. Otherwise, it will be partly sunny with a high of 28.
After Tuesday it will begin feeling a bit warmer.
"We have high pressure that is going to build in for Wednesday and Thursday," said Evanego. "So we'll have slightly milder temperatures."
It will be mostly cloudy Wednesday with a high of 32 and predominately sunny Thursday with a high of 35.
For Friday and Saturday there's a chance of rain and snow showers.
Otherwise, it will be mostly cloudy both days with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s.
Since Nov. 1, 23.1 inches of snow has fallen in the Williamsport area, according to the National Weather Service.
"That's about normal," Evanego said.
And despite some cold temperatures of late, it's been a fairly mild winter, he added.

Surprised by the size.
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I bought this for my husband for his birthday. When I received the box, I opened it to make sure everything was good and WOW. This is a big watch! I wasn't sure if he was going to like it, but he actually ended up loving it.

Nixon Chronicle Watch - Men's
Desert Suede
Classy good looking watch!!! Keep it away from the water, due to the leather band. Swiss movement makes this watch even tighter. 5/5 in my book.
Pure Class watch
This watch is an absolute classic of the Nixon collection. This is my 7th Nixon and I love it, such a nice, solid eyecatching watch to own. I got it in black with leather strap. You could pay a little more for the metal band but I already have a banks in steel/black, plus in my opinion the leather looks better. It's not so 'bling' and in your face and I think the leather band makes the body of the watch stand out even more. If you're in any doubt as to the quality it is top notch, you'll not regret adding this to your Nixon quiver or buying as a special present for someone. Even if you wanted to buy a nice watch for someone who hasn't even heard of Nixon, this would be a fantastic buy
Love it
From hanging out with homies, to the lake or beach, and even the office, this watch is classy for all situations. so casual and so sick 5/5 in my book!
This is "what's up"
I got this watch in Navy. I would suggest getting the leather Chronicle over the metal Chronicle, I mean it just looks better. it's causul but formal at the same time. Get lots of compliments on this one.
Simply: the Best. Nixon's got one smockin' watch on their hands.
Just got mine in, and the first thing I noticed was: "WOW! Professional yet casual!" and the leather bands keep it from looking TOO businessy while maintianing that preofessional feel with the old-school watch-nics instead of numbers. The extra-large face and oversized dial (not to mention the awesome enlarged Nixon logo on the side of the dial) give it a little more something that sets it apart from many of Nixon's other watches. Its just got that flare that says: "HEY! Look at me! Im NOT a 16 year old wearing watches with rubber straps: Im clean, cut, and ready for business"
Its 100m waterproof which means it can witstand the load of occasional splashes and showers (just dont go swimming!) and the stainless steel means its prepared to take a beating (just dont go trying to karate chop bricks with it). Its a three hand Swiss design, so the clock's pretty much never gonna be wrong, and the magnified 9-o'clock edge eases ever so perfectly into the lines of the dial design; masterfully revealing what day it is.
Overall, its a great purchase, and a resilient watch. If you can afford to drop the money (Or are lucky enough to recieve it as a gift): Its a great addition to any watch-lovers arrangement! Almost a must-have!
Fresh Look
Professional, clean, sophisticated, look, smooth Swiss Movement, Overall great purchase

From staff reports
ATLANTA — Two Cobb County entities, Kennesaw State University and Parkmobile Inc., won awards for software innovation at the annual Impact Awards put on by the Technology Association of Georgia.
Southeastern Software Association, one of the founding members of the Technology Association of Georgia, announced Tuesday that two local entities were among its winners of the 2013 TAG SSA Impact Awards.
TAG SSA Impact Award winners have developed exciting software solutions with a meaningful impact on their business, their customers or their community.
This year's winners were selected in five categories and from among 32 finalists. KSU won the award for its Corporate Internal Software Development program. Parkmobile is a technology solutions provider. The TAG SSA Impact Awards were May 30 in Buckhead.
"Georgia's software industry is made up of true innovators and problem solvers and I am delighted to see record participation and attendance for this year's awards ceremony," said Tino Mantella, TAG president. "The future of the software industry in the Southeast has momentum, and Georgia's innovators are leading the way in the region."
TAG SSA's mission is to be the leading resource for software and information technology for executives and professionals to connect and develop business opportunities.
The Technology Association of Georgia is the leading technology industry association in the state, serving more than 18,500 members and has more than 200 events each year. TAG serves as an umbrella organization for 32 industry societies, each of which provides rich content for TAG constituents.

the $3.1 billion budget approved by the California Public Utilities
Commission will help pave the way to savings of 7,000 gigawatt hours,
150 million metric therms of natural gas, and 1,500 megawatts of
City, county, and regional agencies will receive
up to $265 million when they create energy-efficiency efforts.
Home owners will be able to monitor energy-usage statistics when they
log onto the internet, the plan states.
"Capturing the
full energy efficiency potential in the state requires more than
simply providing rebates to support the installation of the latest
and greatest widget," according to Michael Peevey, the state's
commission president.
According to the state commission,
energy savings would be the same as three 500 megawatt power
plants. Furthermore, the new state-led programs would create
between 15,000 and 18,000 new jobs, while also eliminating almost 3
million tons of greenhouse gas emissions across the state.
focus is to shift
priorities away from rebates for widgets to sustained energy
savings in the built environment," California Public Utilities
Commission member Dian Grueneich told the media. "These
numbers are breathtaking in their own right."
Due to the
faltering economy, energy conservation and efficiency have been
popular among consumers and companies interested in reducing costs.
quote: The amount of mercury in a CFLs glass tubing is minute; each Project Porchlight CFL bulb contains 2.5 mg of mercury, about the size of a period at the end of a sentence. By comparison, watch batteries and four-foot fluorescent tubes contain about 25 mg, older home thermostats contain 500 mg, and older dental fillings contain 100 to 500 mg of mercury.
quote: You should know that we already live safely with mercury - our hospitals, worksites, schools and daycares are filled with the long fluorescent tubes, which also contain mercury.
quote: The Canada Labour Code specifies: The Ceiling Exposure Value (CEV), the maximum airborne concentration for mercury, to which a worker can be exposed to at any time is 0.15 mg/m3 To put this value into perspective, a CFL containing 2.5 mg of mercury would have to break in a room smaller than 2.4 m x 2.4 m x 3 m (7.2 x 7.2 x 9 ) to pose a health risk according to the Ceiling Exposure Value specified by the Code. If a bulb were to break in a space such as this, leaving the room and ventilating the area would reduce the mercury concentration to a safe level in about 15 minutes.
quote: Seriously everyone complains about the mercury in CFLs but they are seriously misinformed, or just don't care to know the facts, or just like the fear-mongering.

WAILUKU - In commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, African-American organizations and communities on Maui joined together to celebrate the civil rights leader's message of peace and equality.
"The message is what Dr. King always stood for: peace and nonviolence," said Ayin Adams, spokeswoman for African Americans on Maui Association. "We're looking at equality, equality through access. We're looking at what we can do for our neighbors. . . . We're looking at working together, harmony. It's all one."
Opening ceremonies began in the morning at the Martin Luther King Jr. Stone of Hope monument, where a mayoral proclamation was signed to honor King.

Hula instructor Carolee Aricayos, or "Auntie Doll," dances hula in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center. Aricayos served as the host for the event's entertainment at the shopping center.

Members of the event then marched down Market Street and gathered at Wailuku Coffee Co., where about 50 people listened to retired state Circuit Judge Sandra A. Simms and retired University of Hawaii-Manoa professor Kathryn Waddell Takara give speeches on King's impact and his message.
"We continue to celebrate Dr. King and honor his legacy with poetry, with music and speakers," said Adams.
This is the first year that the association has partnered with the African American Heritage Foundation of Maui for the commemorating day.
King events continued in the afternoon at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center, where hula instructor Carolee Aricayos organized and participated in song and dance. Affectionately known as "Auntie Doll," she danced a solo hula and played the ukulele while her students, kupuna from Kaunoa Senior Center, danced hula.
"For us here in our little island way out in the Pacific Ocean, you sometimes think that we're not any use because we're so little," she said. "But I found as I grew up that we're so important because we're in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where people from the West and from the East come and rest . . . and then travel on."
Aricayos, who has hosted several African-American group events in the past, said that she was glad she was asked to host this year.
"I'm thankful that I got the chance to be a part of this day of celebration," she said.
The event concluded with more entertainment, including Vice President Gwyn Gorg of the African Americans on Maui Association introducing international exchange students from the Maui Language Institute at the University of Hawaii Maui College to the stage. Gorg said that people sometimes forget King's message was for all people and races, not just African-Americans.
Students from about a dozen different countries held signs and sang with the audience about love and togetherness.
"There is no separation, and so that unity begins now, and it begins with us," said Aricayos. "We here in the community are showing other organizations and groups that come out with us that we're one. One world, one people."

Contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Meteorologist Krystal Klei joined the ABC-7 StormTRACK Weather Team in July 2012.
She was born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona, where she grew accustomed to triple digit temperatures. As a way to cope with the heat, Krystal became an avid swimmer at a young age and continued swimming through high school. Of course, the only thing she enjoyed more than swimming was watching the incredible monsoon storms that rolled through each summer.
By college, Krystal knew she wanted to become a meteorologist. She graduated from Arizona State University, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Geography- Meteorology/Climatology and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and Mass Communications.
During her time in college, she participated in three internships. First with The Arizona Republic, where she wrote the daily weather story and covered breaking news. Next, Krystal interned at ABC15 in Phoenix as both a weather intern and news intern. During her senior year, Krystal joined ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications' award-winning student-produced newscast, Cronkite NewsWatch. She was a meteorologist and reporter for the show, which aired live Monday through Thursday on PBS World. Throughout the year, Krystal won feature reporting awards from the Broadcast Education Association, Society of Professional Journalists, and the Hearst Journalism Awards Program.
In her spare time, Krystal loves to swim, hike, go to the movies, and keep in touch with family and friends. Her parents and younger brother all remain in Phoenix.
If you have an awesome weather photo or story idea (or even a hiking trail you recommend), Krystal wants you to send them her way! Email her at firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet her @KrystalKlei.
