SALEM — Both the woman who reportedly robbed a bank, while wearing a fake beard, and her alleged accomplice were charged with robbery in an indictment last week.
Debra Benigno, 53, faces 24 charges, and Bruce A. Hansen Jr., 46, faces 16 charges in an indictment handed up by a Salem County Grand Jury on Jan. 8. They face various counts of robbery, conspiracy, terroristic threats and other charges.
The pair were previously charged on six indictments on Aug. 14. The charges were consolidated into one superseding indictment so they could all be tried together, according to Salem County first assistant prosecutor William Brennan.
Benigno and Hansen were arrested on Feb. 11, 2013, after what police called a failed robbery attempt at the First National Bank of Elmer, located in Upper Pittsgrove Township on Centerton Road. Authorities said they were on their way to rob another bank at the time of their arrest.
Authorities believe that they were also responsible for a robbery reported at the Pittsgrove bank on Jan. 31, 2013, as well as robberies at Pennsville National Bank, in Elmer, on Dec. 26, 2012, and Jan. 15, 2013.
While they were still investigating the robberies, authorities released a sketch of the person they were asking the public to identify. The sketch was of a suspect with a dark beard and wearing a knit hat.
At the time of her arrest, police said Benigno was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, a black ski cap, jeans and had imitation hair glued to her face.
Investigators reportedly seized a wig that matched the hair that was glued to Benigno's face when they executed a search warrant at the suspects' residence on Northbrook Road, in Elk Township, according to reports.
Benigno and Hansen are currently being held in the Salem County Correctional Facility, in Mannington Township, in lieu of $250,000 bail each.

IOWA CITY, Iowa - Brandon Scherff garnered national attention in the most unlikely way imaginable - at least for an Iowa player.
Scherff went viral on Twitter.
Coach Kirk Ferentz doesn't even allow his players to use the social media site. But Hawkeyes strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle recently posted a video last month of Scherff performing three lifts of 443 pounds from his knees to his shoulders as teammates watched in amazement.
It was a 30-second glimpse into why many consider Scherff the best lineman in the country.
The 6-foot-5, 320-pound senior's blend of strength and athleticism is why he's expected to be the third Iowa tackle in six years to be taken in the first round of the NFL draft. Scherff was expected to be a first-rounder after last season, but he surprised many by returning to school.
"I thought he was one of the better players you could find in college football a year ago. And we expect him to be a better player this year, and I think he expects that from himself," Ferentz said.

A late afternoon panorama of the Saxon church of St Mary in Castro, and to its right, the Roman watchtower, or lighthouse known as the Pharos. Both buildings are situated on a huge mound known as Harold's Earthwork whose rim is topped by the ruins of a parapet wall.
Below the Pharos is a Victorian building that once housed the Dover Castle Garrison School.
More on the church, lighthouse, and school below.
Not covered in the later notes on the Pharos, however, is the small light-coloured stone to the left of the top centre window (1):
This ancient structure was repaired, and the greatest part of it cased with flint, in the year 1259, when Richard de Grey, of Codnore, was Constable of Dover Castle; and his coat of arms, cut in a small square stone, were placed on the north side of the tower, and are still remaining there. A barry of six, argent, and azure (2).
Elsewhere in the photo
On the other side of the right-hand slope of Harold's Earthwork is the West Wing of the Officers New Barracks (Officers Quarters or Victorian Officers Mess). The living quarters were built between 1856-1858 to designs by Anthony Salvin (architect) and George Arnold (Royal Engineers clerk).
In 1862, Salvin appeared in front of a Military Committee (who later reported to the Houses of Parliament) about the West Wing Controversy (photo and transcript).
Projecting above the earthwork perimeter wall to the left of the Officers New Barracks is the white mast of the Admiralty Lookout and Port War Signal Station. To the right of the barracks is a fire beacon below which the West Roman Ditch road swings around the far side of Harold's Earthwork to become the East Roman Ditch.
Beyond the barracks and beacon are Dover Harbour, the Southern Breakwater, and English Channel. The cliffs of France are visible in the murky haze on the horizon on large versions of this photo, particularly to the left of the church tower.
Between the front of St Mary-in-Castro's north transept and the Garrison School are three privet hedges (at least, I think they're privet) that now occupy the gun-pits of Four Gun Battery (1756).
On the left, the shadow cast by the tower of St Mary-in-Castro is abruptly cut off by the parapet wall of Harold's Earthwork as the ground falls sharply away to the East Roman Ditch. The low wall on the far embankment beyond the East Roman Ditch (actually above Godwin Road) follows the line of the now-vanished "East Outer Curtain Wall (South)" which ran from Pencester Tower to the cliff-edge.
The outer curtain wall was built above the ditch of an Iron Age Hill Fort whose entrance is believed to be at the Avranches Gap (nb the East Outer Curtain Wall (North), running from the Norfolk Towers above St John`s Tower to Avranches Tower for Crossbows, still survives).

Dover Castle Garrison School
I have not (yet) been able to find out much information about Dover Castle's Garrison School. As an ex-pupil (3) of Dover Grammar School for Boys, however, I was interested to discover these entries in DGSB's The Pharos magazine from a time when the school was known as "Dover County School for Boys" (DCSB):
Free Place Scholarship Awards, September, 1921 (4):
Smith, R. - Garrison School, The Castle, Dover.
Smith, W. F. - Garrison School, The Castle, Dover.
Its a common surname, but I wonder if they were brothers? twins, even!
Free Place Scholarship Awards, (September) 1922 (5):
Castle Garrison School, Dover. - J. M. Saunders.
By 1936, DCSB was welcoming boys who had gained, "Special Places":
Special Places (September, 1936) (6)
R. C. Neill - Garrison School, Dover.
D. W. Waters - Garrison School, Dover.
East Roman Pharos (7)
This stand-alone tower is a Roman lighthouse or watchtower, one of a pair constructed during the reign of Emperor Claudius in AD 46 on the headland flanking either side of the major Roman port of Dubris.
Aulus Plautius led the Roman conquest of Britain in 43 AD, and became the first governor of the new province, serving from 43 to 47 AD.
The lighthouse survives within Dover Castle and comprises an octagonal stepped tower approximately 19 metres and four storeys high. The fourth storey was reconstructed between 1415 and 1437 when the lighthouse had been adapted for use as a belfry to the church of St Mary-Sub-Castro (St Mary-in-Castro).
The original design of the top of the lighthouse has been destroyed by these alterations, making its functionality unclear. It is thought that both lighthouses were used during fine weather as sea-marks in guiding vessels into the harbour. At night this role would have augmented by fire-lit braziers situated at the top of the lighthouse. The lighthouse may have also been used as a smoke beacon during certain weather and visibility conditions. Another possible role is as a signal tower.
Medieval and later alterations within the immediate locality of the lighthouse have removed any possible evidence of structures associated with the running of the lighthouse. Changes to the lighthouse took place in 1582 when it was converted into a gunpowder magazine.
The replica remains of the West Roman Pharos, known as the Bredenstone, is located in the Napoleonic Drop Redoubt on the Western Heights.

St Mary-in-Castro (8)
Late Saxon church situated within the defences of Dover Castle. A minster was founded at St Mary-in-Castro by 640 AD but in 696 was transferred to St Martin's Church (St Martin-le-Grand) in the town.
The church is thought to be was built before 1020 and reuses Roman building material within its fabric and at some point used the Roman lighthouse as its belfry. The church was extensively repaired in 1582 but was in little use from the end of the 16th century. By 1724 its bells had been removed and the building was in ruins.
It was used as a Fives Court in the early 1790s and a garrison coal store during the Napoleonic Wars with France (1793-1815). During the modernising of the castle in mid-19th century the church was restored. This was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1862. An additional restoration was undertaken by William Butterfield in 1888.
Alternative names: Church of St Mary, St Mary-sub-Castro, King Lucius Church.
Abridged excerpt from a magazine published in September, 1773 (9):
In the year 180 AD, King Lucius, being converted by Pope Eleutherius (Eleutheros, or Eleuterus), built here a church, wherein were afterwards placed by Eadbald, son of Ethelbert (Aethelbert), twenty-four secular Canons, who remained here 105 years; but at length, in the year 696, Withred King of Kent, thinking Dover Castle in danger from these Canons, who went in and out at all hours, and had frequent disputes with the Officers of the garrison, removed them to the church of St Martin, in the town of Dover.

A warm front moved through Iowa Tuesday, causing the mercury to soar to record numbers.
In Des Moines, the temperature reached 94 degrees, breaking the old record of 93 from 1988. This comes nearly two weeks after the city saw 3.5 inches of snow.
The heat was also felt in Sioux City, Iowa, where the temperature got to 106 degrees. This broke the old record of 97 degrees from 2001, and marked the hottest temperature ever recorded in the city in the month of May.
A cold front moves through that region Wednesday bringing in somewhat cooler air. High temperatures are forecast in the 80s.

Giant of the Skies was a Glider
Pelagornithids are awesome. Back in 2012, I was fortunate enough to publish my first scientific paper. Myself, along with Erich Fitzgerald of Museum Victoria and Trevor Worthy of Flinders University reported the first occurrence in Australia on these bizarre birds known as the pelagornithids. These avians aren't your normal seabirds, with wingspans reaching lengths of over six metres and a beak lined with menacing tooth-like projections, they would look more likely to take your arm instead of your chips at the beach (if they weren't extinct)!
Whilst all we had to work with in our paper was the distal end of a tibiotarsus, material found elsewhere is more complete, allowing researchers to investigate the biology of these animals, including how these giants managed to stay in the air. A new paper by Dan Ksepka, Curator of Science at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), has revealed new insights into the flight performance of the pelagornithids. What's more, he's done it with a new species of pelagornithid that is the largest flying bird ever described.
The new newly-described species, Pelagornis sandersi, lived in what is now Charleston, South Carolina some 25–28 million years ago. Uncovered when construction workers were working on Charleston Airport, the holotype material includes a cranium, right ramus, partial furcula, right scapula, partial right humerus, partial right radius, fragments of ulna and carpometacarpus, right femur, tibiotarsus, fibula, tarsometatarsus, and a single pedal phalanx.
Using this material Ksepka has been able to make new predictions about the aerial abilities of the pelagornithids, suggesting that they were highly efficient gliders, exploiting a long-range soaring ecology. This fits with previous ideas regarding their flight style, yet the sheer dimensions of P. sandersi exceed the limit of what some mathematical modes state is the limit for flying birds, making this first ever quantitative analysis of pelagornithid flight capabilities an important development in studying their ecology. Ksepka used Flight 1.25, a program that can predict flight performance if you plug in variables such as mass, wingspan and wing shape. The results of the analysis show that P. sandersi was able to glide at fast speeds with a relatively low amount of altitude being lost. This would have allowed the animals to maintain an expansive range to exploit feeding patches. As Ksepka notes, "That's important in the ocean, where food is patchy".
Although it's clear that P. sandersi was extremely proficient at gliding, it's not certain whether it was capable of horizontal flapping flight, with models suggesting it was too heavy to flap for any extended length of time. The question also remains of how the animal actually got into the air; with a running takeoff or manipulating strong wind currents mooted as possibilities for launch. A lack of flapping ability would mean however that if a pelagornithid crashed into the water it would be unable to return to the air again, much like modern frigatebirds. This indirectly supports the theory that the bony projections on the beaks of pelagornithids functioned to trap prey inside once they had been plucked from the water.
The dimensions of this bird are incredible. The skull is nearly 60 cm long, the humerus is estimated to be an astounding 94 cm, with the estimated total wingspan is between 6.06 and 7.38 m once the feathers are taken into consideration! These birds were truly impressive and it is a real shame that they went extinct (which is yet another unanswered question about this mysterious group). It doesn't take a genius to see why I have a real soft spot for the subject of my first publication and why I sincerely hope to work on them again one day. Fantastic work by Dan on the paper, I look forward to hearing more about these fascinating, bizarre creatures.

Here's an excerpt from Seth Godin's marketing view of elite colleges and universities:
According to The Chosen, an exhaustive study of college admissions, there's no measurable difference between the outcomes of education with the most exclusive schools and the next few tiers. Graduates don't end up happier. They don't end up with better paying jobs. They don't end up richer or even healthier. The whole thing is a sham (which costs a quarter of a million dollars a person at the top end).
There's no question that a Harvard degree helps (or is even required) in a few fields. There's also no doubt that spending four years at Yale is a mind-changing experience. The question isn't, "are they wonderful?" The question is, "Is it worth it?"
It's almost as if every single high school student and her parents insisted on having a $200,000 stereo because it was better than the $1,000 stereo. Sure, it might be a bit better, but is it better enough?

This first step can have other names, even just analysis, but Requirements is a good word. What is the application required to do, what must it do? Now the core of your requirements or what are called functional requirements, literally, what are the features, the capabilities of the application? What does it need to do? But there are other non-functional requirements like what kind of help or documentation needs to be provided? Are there legal requirements? If you're building a system that does banking transactions or stores healthcare data, then there may be laws that you need to comply with.
And do you know those details? If you don't, who does? Performance requirements, response time, how many people does this app need to support simultaneously? Support requirements, if there's an issue with the web application at 2 a.m. on a Sunday morning, what needs to happen? And security can be considered either non-functional or functional requirement depending on the app. Now if you're doing the app for someone else, you'd get a lot of this from your customer, your client. Now if you are the driving force behind the app, if it's your idea, it's easy to think that you've thought about this, you know all this already, you can skip this step, but that's almost always a mistake.
Most solo developers or small teams have a dozen semi-formed ideas about some of the cool features the application could have. But we're trying to get away from that here. We can't design half a feature. So not the hundred different things it might do or could do, but at least initially what the app must do. Now requirements can be phrased very simply. You'll often see requirements begin with the phrase system must or application must or program must, depending on which term you prefer.
So system must display the heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure of a patient connected to the monitor. Application must allow a user to search by a customer's last name, telephone number, or order number. Program must allow receipts to be generated via email. You can do these as fairly short, simple, succinct statements, must allow the user to create a 140-character message, must continue to function without network connection. Or you could have something a little bit more complicated as long as it's very specific.
Now on the other hand, what we could also have are a few non-functional requirement examples. So system must respond to searches within 2 seconds. This is not actually a feature, but it is something that is required. Helpdesk should be available by telephone, Mon-Fri, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. We can talk about the laws that we need to comply with or uptime of response time. All these are considered non-functional requirements. Now the bigger the application and the bigger your organization, the more formal you're going to need to be about all of this.
Now what we're doing here-- typically called requirements analysis--is a discipline all of in itself, and if you need to take deeper than we can cover here, there are some great books on the subject that will provide a structure for doing this. Now one common approach if you need to be a bit more formal is something called FURPS or FURPS+. It sounds intimidating, really isn't. It's a simple mnemonic, it's a checklist, it's designed to prompt you, did you think about this? So starting with the letter F we have Functional requirements, the features of the app.
Usability, help, documentation, tutorials. Reliability, disaster recovery, acceptable failure rates. Are these things you need to think about now or later or not at all? Performance, availability, capacity, resources, and supportability, not just things like who maintains it, but also could this be internationalized? Would it need to be internationalized? Now often our non-functional requirements are all about the -ilities, maintainability, reliability, usability, availability.
Now in FURPS+ we add four more. We have the idea of Design requirements, it's a constraint. So must be an iPhone app or must require relational database. Not actually a feature of the app, but something you need to pay attention to. We can have Implementation requirements, so things like what's the language we're going to use? Do we have to comply with certain standards or perhaps even a methodology? Now an Interface requirement typically refers not to the user interface but to any external system that you need to interface with, and you need to specify this now.
And a Physical requirement specifies an actual physical constraint. Everything from needs to run on a device with a camera to must ship with 50 Gigabytes of DVDs. But this is not instructions, it's simply a checklist. But again, first time through what you're going for is the absolute minimum set of requirements, and that's the concept to hang on to here. Not what is nice to have, not what is optional, not all the dream features of you or your customer, only what is required.
Now it's a common mistake that people try to be exhaustive to try and have answers for everything upfront. But in an agile-iterative approach, it's perfectly acceptable to go through this and have not applicable or to be determined for some of these. And I'll say this again, you're not looking for completeness or even expecting it. Don't expect to write this once and freeze it, your requirements will change. Now technically what we're doing here has nothing to do with object orientation. If at this stage you use words like polymorphism or abstraction, you're way off base.
We don't even expect the word class or object here. So what do we expect from this? Something written down, anything from a set of bullet points on a whiteboard to a complete requirements document in a more formal process. But we need something to feed into the next part of our process to allow us to describe the application in a little bit more detail.
Let Simon Allardice introduce you to the terms—words like abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, subclass—and guide you through defining your requirements and identifying use cases for your program. The course also covers creating conceptual models of your program with design patterns, class and sequence diagrams, and unified modeling language (UML) tools, and then shows how to convert the diagrams into code.
- Why use object-oriented design (OOD)?
- Pinpointing use cases, actors, and scenarios
- Identifying class responsibilities and relationships
- Creating class diagrams
- Using abstract classes
- Working with inheritance
- Creating advanced UML diagrams
- Understanding object-oriented design principles

Man jailed in Albion assault; police continue to investigate stabbing, lab discovery
ALBION -- A reported domestic dispute led to a stabbing at a borough residence where police later found two suspected methamphetamine labs Sunday, investigators said Monday.
One of the residents of the house, Dustin A. Hill, 31, was later jailed on charges he assaulted and harassed a woman. More charges could be filed against Hill as investigations continue into the stabbing and the suspected labs, Albion Police Chief Dan Ries said.
The stabbing victim, a male who was not identified by police, was taken to UPMC Hamot for treatment after investigators said he was found on the floor of a bathroom inside the residence in the first block of South Water Street.
Information about his condition was not available Monday.
Ries said the man and Hill were fighting in the hallway of the residence when officers arrived at about 4:25 a.m. Sunday to investigate the reported domestic dispute. The woman was outside of the residence in a vehicle when police arrived, Ries said.
Hill was also taken to UPMC Hamot for treatment of injuries he suffered in the fight, then was arraigned by Corry District Judge Brenda Nichols on simple assault and harassment charges. He was placed in the Erie County Prison on $5,000 bond Sunday morning.
As police spoke to the female victim about the assault on her, Ries said, they learned of two suspected meth labs in the residence. Officers found one in the basement and the other in the garage, he said.
The Pennsylvania State Police Clandestine Lab Response Team, agents with the state Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation and Drug Control and members of the Northwest Pennsylvania Methamphetamine Task Force later served a search warrant on the residence and seized the suspected lab components. The items were taken to the state police crime lab for analysis, investigators said.

Admission Criteria
Criteria for Admission to Inpatient Rehabilitation
The Rehabilitation Hospital is not just a place to recover, it is a place for patients to work to achieve their highest level of physical, social and cognitive independence within the community. Because we wish all of our patients to take an active part in their recovery, there are criteria on admission to the Rehabilitation Hospital.
Each member of your team is trained to work closely with you and your family to further your recovery process at the Rehabilitation Hospital. Your care will be coordinated by an attending physician and discussed frequently by the team through team meetings.

TRIVANDRUM, INDIA (Scrap Monster): A power utility in South India,Kerala State Electricity Board(KSEB) has announced plans to recycle used compact fluorescent lamps. It has joined hands with Energy Management Center to form an effective mechanism for recycling used compact fluorescent lamps(CFL), which is a need of the hour.
KSEB has been taking steps to promote the use of CFL in place of incandescent lamps to save energy. It had supplied about 1.25 crore CFL's to customers and large number is stored in its offices, Times of India reported.
Disposal of CFL is a serious issue as it contains mercury which is hazardous for the environment.
KSEB will start a system by which consumers can surrender damaged and used CFL's instead of disposing it.
KM Dharesan Unnithan, director, Energy Management Centre said that the aluminium and mercury in the damaged CFL's can be effectively retreived and recycled for various other purposes. The program will soon be extended to the general public also.
M Muhammed Ali Rawther, member, transmission and generation operation of KSEB, told that KSEB has decided to recycle CFL's on the grounds it will cause gross damage to mother earth, Times of India report added.

* SONS OF ANARCHY. 10 p.m. Tuesday, FX.
KURT SUTTER may not need to get Katey Sagal anything for their next anniversary.
Because the creator of FX's "Sons of Anarchy," whose wife is one of the show's biggest stars, has already given her Jimmy Smits.
There aren't many things to be exactly cheerful about in Tuesday's season-five premiere of "Sons," a drama about an outlaw motorcycle gang in which the level of violence still holds the power to shock. But the introduction of Smits as Nero Padilla, an intriguing new friend for Gemma (Sagal), is one.
"I thought it was such a great role. And [Smits is] a dream to work with," said Sagal, laughing, after I'd complimented her on Sutter's largesse, following an FX press conference last month.

In Brief: Destructive Oregon wildfire threatens homes
Destructive Oregon wildfire threatens homes
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Authorities said the wildfire burning in Oregon's wind-swept Columbia River Gorge has destroyed a home, damaged two others and is threatening 740 more.
Residents of more than 140 homes were told to evacuate and nearly 600 households were put on alert in the community of Rowena near The Dalles.
The blaze covered about 5 square miles by Friday afternoon, according to fire officials. Winds were expected to pick up again, with gusts up to 30 mph, making whitecaps on the Columbia River as it flows by the fire.
Helicopter tour ban sought over Hudson River
HOBOKEN, N.J. -- Tourists who want a bird's-eye view of the New York City skyline might be out of luck.
U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, of New Jersey, joined local officials from both sides of the Hudson River in Hoboken on Friday to call for a ban on tourist helicopter flights.
Interrupted repeatedly by the buzzing sounds of helicopters, officials said the flights are a threat to the quality of life and public safety of waterfront residents.
"There's simply too much helicopter traffic and not enough oversight," said Menendez, who said the volume of flights has skyrocketed in recent years. A sightseeing helicopter and a small aircraft collided over the river in 2009, killing nine people. Another crash in 2011 killed an Australian tourist.
Woman who sneaked onto plane arrested at LAX
LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles airport's police chief suspected that a woman caught after sneaking onto a Los Angeles-bound flight earlier this week would end up back at his airport. He was right, and she was arrested as she wandered through terminals without a ticket Thursday in violation of her probation handed down just a day earlier, airport Police Chief Patrick Gannon said.
Marilyn Jean Hartman, 62, has made repeated attempts to sneak aboard flights at other airports, authorities said.
Gannon said he had a feeling the woman "with a fixation on flying" would return to the airport, so police passed out fliers with pictures of Hartman to airport workers. Hartman was arrested for violating terms of her 24-month probation.

Canadian Natural Gas Follows U.S. Market Lower on Mild Weather
Canadian natural gas dropped, following the U.S. market lower on mild weather and after prices failed to break through a technical price level.
The front-month gas contract in Alberta declined 4.8 percent after rising on Oct. 19 to its highest level since Nov. 10. Gas on the New York Mercantile Exchange dropped after traders failed to break above $3.65 per million British thermal units, and as weather reports showed mild weather.
"On Friday, the price action tested the $3.65 level twice and couldn't get through, and then we saw a test of that level again in pre-market trading today and also couldn't get above that," said Aaron Calder, senior market analyst at Gelber & Associates in Houston. Failing to break through that level allowed short-sellers to take prices lower, he said.
Alberta gas for November delivery tumbled 15.75 cents to C$3.13 per gigajoule ($2.99 per million British thermal units) at 2:15 p.m. New York time on the NGX, a Canadian electronic exchange.
Natural gas for November delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell 15.7 cents, or 4.3 percent, to $3.46 per million Btu.
Weather will be mixed across North America this week, with hot weather dominating the central and eastern U.S., until a cold front in western Canada reaches the Midwest this weekend, according to MDA EarthSat Weather of Gaithersburg, Maryland. U.S. heating demand will be 31 percent below normal this week, Weather Derivatives of Belton, Missouri, said.
Alberta Weather
Cold weather over the next week in Alberta will lend support to Canadian gas prices, said Peter Linder. president of the DeltaOne Energy Fund in Calgary. "Gas consumption in this province will be very high for October," he said. "Clearly demand is here."
Volume on TransCanada's Alberta system, which collects the output from most of Canada's gas wells, was 16.2 billion cubic feet at 1:30 p.m. New York time.
Gas was flowing at a daily rate of 1.86 billion cubic feet at Empress, Alberta, where the fuel is transferred to TransCanada's main Line.
At McNeil, Saskatchewan, where gas is transferred to the Northern Border Pipeline for shipment to the Chicago area, the rate was 2.01 billion cubic feet.
TransCanada's British Columbia system at Kingsgate had 307 million cubic feet per day of available capacity. The system was forecast to carry 1.36 billion cubic feet today, 82 percent of estimated capacity.
The volume on Spectra Energy Corp.'s British Columbia system, which gathers the fuel in northeastern British Columbia for delivery to Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest, totaled 2.85 billion cubic feet at 1:20 p.m.

Lazing around in Adelaide
"It seems like I have been here all my life. In fact, I came from Denmark and settled here. Now, I don't want to go anywhere else," an elderly man on way to one of the Lutheran churches said.
That's the feeling echoed by many we met during our short trip to Southern Australia.
The day just bid adieu with a strange longing, darkness crept in and silence spread its wings over the valley of vineyards.
"I love this valley. It's more than home, it is my life. I haven't found a better place to unwind than this place during my many travels," the elderly man said, contentment writ large on his face.
He is right. Nightfall brings a strange charm to Barossa Valley, one of Australia's oldest wine regions. The valley, which links history and culture from far and wide, is more than an hour's drive from Adelaide, the capital of Southern Australia.
While Australia and its wine industries were heavily influenced by the British, Barossa Valley has a different heritage: It mostly traces its roots to German settlers. The German influence survives to this day, but the valley and the vineyards lulled by the misty wind seem to care less about a culture steeped in history.
Our journey started from Adelaide, a lazy, laid-back city, which is often referred to as the "twenty-minute city", because, according to our guide, the city enveloped by beautiful open parks stretches to all four corners in equidistance.
The city was about to sleep when we landed after a 13-hour-long direct Emirates flight from Dubai. Jet lag and the eagerness to see a new city forced us to retire immediately.
Morning showed a different view of Adelaide. Unlike busy car-packed roads of Dubai, Adelaide wore a lazy look. People cycled and walked to work. Motorists courteously allowed office-goers to cross roads. Surprisingly, nobody seemed to be in a hurry.
Our guide, who traces his roots to Britain, kept on harping about the city and its myriad charms: tram, metro, wide-open parks, libraries, art houses, universities and cottages. Interestingly, they all seemed to be neatly arranged in almost a square mile. Then came the Arab coffee shop, the Indian restaurant, the Chinese market, the Italian eatery ... "It's a big city with a big heart," the guide said.
Adelaide, which is the fifth largest city in Australia, is the site of many governmental and financial institutions. Most of these are concentrated in the city centre along the cultural boulevard of North Terrace, King William Street and in various districts of the metropolitan area.
With warm Mediterranean climate offering myriad hues to this environment-friendly city, Adelaide is the perfect example of a "liveable city".
Sleep constantly deprived us during the trip. We were woken up from a comfortable slumber at the luxury resort Louise in Barossa Valley around 4am by Balloon adventurers.
Balloon trips are generally conducted early in the morning to catch "favourable wind" and avoid "hot midday spells", explained our tour operator.
But, once airborne, we forgot all about sleep. The picturesque valley, with beautiful vineyards, cottages, hamlets, farmlands and open landscape captivated us. Cameras were out in full force, capturing the world beneath us. We floated over river, valley, farmlands ... wherever the wind took us. "That's the beauty and trouble of balloon rides; I can change directions and altitude, but mobility depends solely on the wind," said the balloon operator.
The balloon landing, however, was bumpy and jerky, far removed from our smooth landing at Adelaide airport. The comparison is far-fetched, but the negatives fade away when memories of floating around over beautiful landscape is etched in your memory for ever.
Emirates airline flies directly to Adelaide from Dubai on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Soon, there will be daily flights to Adelaide. Log on to www.emirates.com
Mount Lofty
The highest point in the southern Mount Lofty Ranges, it is located about 15km east of the centre of the city of Adelaide. It offers panoramic views of the city and the Adelaide plains and foothills.
Access to the summit can be gained by road. Visitors can drive, walk or cycle to the summit. Mount Lofty is the coldest location in Adelaide. It is the most common location for snow in South Australia.
Hahndorf is a small and beautiful town. Old-world charm welcomes people to this wonderful place cocooned around 20km away from Adelaide. According to our guide, the founding of Hahndorf has a colourful history: Fleeing religious persecution in Prussia, German immigrants with the help of a sympathetic captain took off in a ship called Zebra to Southern Australia. They were helped by the ship's captain, Hahn, to set up a town near the present Adelaide, way back in 1838. The settlement was named Hahndorf in honour of the captain. German influence is apparent in the traditional architecture of the original surviving buildings.
Cleland Park
The Wildlife Park gives visitors an opportunity to walk through large enclosures and interact with Australian animals such as kangaroos, koalas and emus, and to see others including wombats, dingoes and many bird and reptile species. The park also has a variety of rare and endangered species such as the yellow-footed rock wallaby, bush stone-curlew and brush-tailed bettong.
Visitors also can have private photography sessions with the koalas.
The Louise is a luxury resort surrounded by vineyards of the Barossa. The Louise suites, with unique design and private terraces and outdoor showers, redefine luxury. Louise stands out in Barossa Valley, which in itself is a visual treat with vineyards connecting rolling hills, villages, hamlets and farmlands. Log on to www.thelouise.com.au
Balloon flight over the picturesque Barossa Valley is another exciting entertainment/adventure to look forward to.

Jerry Bramlett is among the one million people in the U.S. who is living life with Parkinson's disease.
"I started progressing with Parkinson's when I was in my early 40s. I noticed a tremor and I was having trouble with my balance. And people kept saying that I was mad all the time cause they said I had a masked face," says Bramlett.
Bramlett has come along way since then, and so has the way we treat people with Parkinson's.
"What was thought at one point, medication was the only thing that could help with Parkinson's. But scientific research has proven that exercise started very, very, early- and the diagnosis is the key," says Nathalie Grondin, physical therapist on Lee Memorial Health System's medical staff.
The diagnosis used to be an end-point. Now it's a beginning.
"So lean into my hand, lean, lean, lean and this is what we want to see. A person with Parkinson's would do all these small steps ineffectively and this is why they tend to go backwards," says Grondin.
Professionals with Lee Memorial Health System are trained to work with Parkinson's patients and assess their skills.
"There's 41 different areas we evaluate on a scale 0 thru 4 and we would grade people on these areas it's called Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale," says Grondin.
The screening creates a snapshot in time. How a patient is doing at a particular moment and what therapies could make their lives easier.
"Regular exercise, activity targeted towards specific problems can actually slow the progression of Parkinson's," says Grondin.
This neurodegenerative disease is marked by rigidity. Therapy falls into three areas: physical, occupational and speech. Bramlett used them all to his advantage.
"The more you work at it, the more it improves," says Bramlett.
Bramlett was such a good pupil; he is now helping others as a Parkinson's exercise class leader.

Now 2-5 on the year, let's take a look at a few things that what right and wrong for Illinois in the Big House.
3 In
1. Justin DuVernois' punting. DuVernois entered third in the conference, averaging nearly 39 yards per punt. His stats Saturday will boost his overall average. With the offense struggling, DuVernois punted eight times, averaging 45.9 per. He had a long of 60 and two punts were downed inside the 20.
2. The first-quarter run game. The Illinois offense made a commitment to the run early, giving Donovonn Young five carries on the first drive of the game. Young finished the first half with 35 yards, and the team averaged 4.4 yards per carry.
3. The press box coffee was sharp. On point.
3 Out
1. Stopping what had to be stopped. Everyone knows Denard Robinson is the focal point of the Michigan offense. As he goes, so does Michigan. He finished with four total touchdowns, passing for 159 yards and rushing for 128 more. He wasn't sacked, or pressured for that matter. He averaged 11.9 yards per carry – a dominating performance.
2. Stopping anything. Robinson averaged 11.6 per carry. Thomas Rawls averaged 10. Justice Hayes 6.6. Fitzgerald Toussaint had 66 yards on the ground. Nine difference players had a catch. The box score speaks for itself.
3. Offense contributing. Here's how each Illini drive ended: Punt. Punt. Punt. Missed FG. Turnover on downs. End of the half. Interception. Punt. Fumble. Punt. Punt. Punt. Punt.

Mike Carey is one of the most visible, grounbreaking former NFL referees. During his 19 great years as a league official, however, there was one call he didn't like making: anything involving the "Redskins" nickname.
"I've called them Washington all my life," Carey, now retired, told the Washington Post. "And I will continue to call them Washington."
MORE: Ditka calls Redskins name debate "appalling" | Simms may not say 'Redskins' on TV
Carey, debuting as an NFL rules analyst for CBS Sports this season, expressed his feelings during a network media event this week. He came to the decision of not being associated with anything "Redskins" while on the job after working one of their playoff games eight years ago.
"The league respectfully honored my request not to officiate Washington," Carey said. "It just became clear to me that to be in the middle of the field, where something disrespectful is happening, was probably not the best thing for me."
Carey excelled at his job, talented enough to work the Super Bowl. As the league's most prominent African-American official, he made the tough decision to cut off any association with the "Redskins."
It might seem odd for someone who's supposed to be neutral on the field to draw such a line. But as the controversy rages off the field about the nickname, Carey's stand can't be ignored because it came from someone significant within the league. It's also notable, via the Post, that Carey didn't go as high up as commissioner Roger Goodell to get his assignments changed, rather the league's then officiating heads.
Maybe Goodell will need to listen a little more now to what Carey just had to say.
"I know that if a team had a derogatory name for African Americans, I would help those who helped extinguish that name," Carey said. "I have quite a few friends who are Native Americans. And even if I didn't have Native American friends, the name of the team is disrespectful."
Just consider it another penalty flag thrown in the direction of Daniel Snyder.

Panthers 4, Blues 0 – Blanked Again
"Oh no! We suck again!" O.K. so that is stretching the truth, but the Blues have now been shutout in back-to-back games and have yet to show any consistency. 12 games in and we have no idea what to expect this season. The Blues currently sit at 5-6-1, with 11 points, placing them last in the Central and 13th of 15 in the West. While the team does have a game in hand on a few teams, the bottom line is that the Blues have come out of the gates this season slow and apparently unable to finish on their scoring chances.
Playing at home is supposed to provide an edge to the home team, but so far the Blues have failed to capitalize in the Scottrade Center. Through six games on the Scottrade ice, the Blues are an ugly 1-5-0. On the road they are a stellar 3-1-1. Why the disparity and what is causing it? Are the Blues pressing in front of their home fans? Are the players mainly to blame due to injuries and the team leaders not stepping up? Or is a something coaching related? The most frustrating part of the year so far is we don't know what the cause is and thus we don't know what we need to fix.
Where to point the finger. Simply put, I think the blame can and should be spread across the team as a whole. Very few players have stood out and played well this season. In my view, the goaltending has been the best aspect of this team so far, but they are not getting any help in front of them.
Last night the team let in two goals in the first and found themselves behind early once again. For the second game in a row, amassing shots wasn't the Notes problem. The team fired 34 shots at Vokoun but were once again kept off the score sheet.
While last night was filled with ghosts, screams and monsters, the scariest thing for a Blues fan is the awful .500 hockey we are seeing. Perhaps expectations were too high or perhaps this is just a trend the Blues will buck soon. Either way, the team needs to remember how to play at home and transition their impressive play on the road over to the Scottrade Center.

For more than a century Dallas has tried to nail down a safe-cycling ordinance. On Monday, another try at it.
From The Dallas Morning News, June 5, 1890: "A bicycle is a vehicle, and as such the supreme court has confirmed it." From The Dallas Morning News, March 12, 1936: "Bicycle Riders Become Latest Traffic Hazard." From The Dallas Morning News, August 24, 1938: "Bicycle Regulation Dies in Pigeonhole." From The Dallas Morning News, February 25, 1940: "Bicycle Ordinance up for Consideration." From The Dallas Morning News, November 22, 1964: "Council to Consider New Bike Ordinance." From The Dallas Morning News, October 22, 2012: "We're setting up a perfect storm for drivers to get pissed off at cyclists."
Here we go again. Again.
On Monday, at a joint meeting of the Dallas City Council's Quality of Life & Government Services and Public Safety Committees, council members will once again tackle that so-called "vulnerable road users" ordinance — the one intended to protect cyclists from car drivers (and vice-versa). Initially it was Mayor Mike Rawlings' idea to make it illegal for folks behind the wheel to throw things at folks on two wheels; said the mayor's chief of staff, "He wants Dallas to be seen as a bike-friendly city and have traffic laws that support it."
But few on the council could agree with what those laws should be and how that ordinance should read — or whether cyclists should even get to use the share the streets. In the words of council member Sandy Greyson, letting bicycles on the road will only "create conditions that upset motorists." Meanwhile council member Angela Hunt wondered why the city isn't separating cars and cycles with buffered bike lanes. "I see us taking these namby-pamby steps that will be a failure," she said, "and make drives angrier at cyclists than they already are."
So back to the City Attorney's Office the proposed ordinance went — and what emerged is a slightly altered version of what the council saw in October. Slightly. As in: Drivers can be fined up to $300 if they do anything that puts a cyclist at risk — say, passing without completely exiting the lane, or passing and making a right-hand turn in front of a cyclist without "taking into account the speed at which the vulnerable road user is traveling and the braking requirements of the vehicle making the right-hand turn." But the city has tacked on $200 more "if the vulnerable road user sustained a bodily injury from the commission of the offense."
The new ordinance also says that everyone ("an operator of a motor vehicle and a vulnerable road user") has to obey the rules of the road; well, all right. It also removes the word "knowingly" from the proposed ordinance, meaning, per the PowerPoint below: The "requirement to prove the culpable mental state has been eliminated from the ordinance." In other words, even if you accidentally throw something at a cyclist, well, that's not good. The ordinance also eliminates the distance requirement between car and cycle: "Enforcement and prosecution would be difficult."
The whole thing's below. And, yes, we'll be there. We'll just walk to City Hall Monday morning. Seems the safest thing to do. Till then, the ordinance follows. And mark your calendars: "A full council briefing is scheduled for the full Council on February 6, 2013 to further discuss bicycle lanes/markings and the master plan." It'll be just like 1890 all over again.

A summer seminar for PhDs or advanced ABDs studying American religion, war, or present "conflicts" in the middle east, as well as those whose work deals with millennialism in American history; the meaning of "manifest destiny," and the role of religion in diplomatic history.
This seminar focuses on the interaction of inherited Old World ideas and cultures (primarily religious) in a New World (to the Europeans) environment, with particular attention to the subject of war. In the new American setting, ideas would shape environments and environments would shape ideas in a complex waltz of alternating leads and followings so that what evolved over a three century period would be an experiment in nation-building whose legacy can only be described as unique and, for better and worse, world transforming. Seminar participants will study primary and secondary source materials that discuss the religious meaning of America and, in particular, the religious meanings of Americans at war.
Application deadline is January 15, 2010

Engage KSU
Submitted by tdemel on Thu, 12/20/2012 - 4:43pm
Strategic initiative creates new standard for connecting community and university
In a message introducing the university's 2010-2011 annual report, President Daniel S. Papp described some of the challenges the university faces in becoming a nationally recognized leader in community engagement:
"To create a truly engaged university, we know that we need to be in regular communication not only with our faculty, staff and students, but also with citizens in our neighboring communities. We need to explain how what we do as scholars impacts the lives of our constituents and friends. We have to develop constructive relationships and productive partnerships to bring new discoveries to light and new dialogues to bear."
As KSU approaches its half-century mark, the President's vision is for Kennesaw State to become known as "Georgia's engaged university." The Engage KSU initiative is making concrete progress toward that vision. Now in its second year, the wheels are in motion to propel Kennesaw State to new heights in the community engagement arena.
Talk to anyone at Kennesaw State for even a brief time, you're likely to hear the terms "engage" or "engagement" at least once. That reflects both a consciousness and a culture of service among members of the campus community. Engage KSU seeks to keep those conversations going as it works to create a unified, seamless, and cohesive approach to community engagement.
A team of faculty and staff has been assembled to identify goals, develop structures, assess resources and plan the way forward for institutionalizing community engagement at Kennesaw State. As an initial step, the team adopted the Carnegie Foundation definition of community engagement for the Engage KSU initiative:
"Engage KSU promotes collaboration between Kennesaw State University and its larger communities — local, state/regional, national and global — for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity."
"This definition reflects the work the Kennesaw State community has already done to develop relationships and help improve their communities," says Maureen McCarthy, faculty executive assistant to President Papp, professor of psychology and Engage KSU project chair. "The definition helps to clarify the reciprocal nature of community engagement. In other words, the activity benefits both the community and the university."
Current plans include a university-wide office of community engagement; a website featuring examples of exemplary engagement and the experiences of Kennesaw State students, faculty and staff; service and partnership opportunities and linkages between various university colleges, departments and programs.
Jorge Pérez, former faculty executive assistant to the president and associate professor of information systems, and Raj Veliyath, faculty assistant to the provost and professor of management and entrepreneurship, guided Engage KSU from inception. In the project's first year, Pérez, Veliyath and a dedicated group of faculty of staff began to lay the foundation for the work, including organizing planning teams and developing a model of community engagement for KSU. Once a framework was established, the leadership team presented the initiative to key campus constituencies, culminating in two campus-wide town hall meetings in November 2011 and January 2012. Pérez was succeeded by McCarthy, who will lead the initiative during the 2012-2013 academic year.
This year, Engage KSU's leaders will continue to develop aspects of the larger initiative. Five teams – teaching, research, scholarship, partnerships and networks, and structures and resources – are working to create specific elements that will constitute a unified effort to link the community to the university.
"We are unifying the collective efforts of the university to create a one-stop shop for community-engagement," said McCarthy. "The university currently offers exemplary projects and programs like the collaborative partnership between WellStar College and MUST Ministries to provide quality health care to under-served populations within the community; the Math Circles summer camp for area high school students that math department Interim Chair Sean Ellermeyer operates; or the Kennesaw Community Chorus that utilizes campus facilities and to which music Associate Professor Leslie Blackwell gives so freely of her time.Ultimately,Engage KSU will provide additional infrastructure and support for these and many more activities."
Models of Engagement
In its initial pass at assessing peer and aspirational institutions to determine what is needed to enhance engagement at Kennesaw State, the Engage KSU structures and resources team determined the university should move away from the "distributed model" that has developed over the years. Instead, the team, co-chaired by Keisha Hoerrner, associate dean of University College, and Brian Wooten, director of the Center for Student Leadership, recommended engagement activities at Kennesaw State be centralized within a specific structure, such as an office, a center or an institute.
"We feel an obligation to tell the KSU community what we've been working on for the past year, where we are, and where we are heading," Hoerrner said. "Many faculty, staff, and students attended last fall's town hall meetings, and our goal is to update them on the work since those pivotal events."
KSU will soon launch a new website designed to feature engagement efforts across the university and highlight outstanding examples of student, faculty and staff engagement.
"An internally focused website will allow everyone involved to communicate more fully to the campus community," Hoerrner said.
In the meantime, team leaders working to establish goals and standards in three critical areas of community engagement — scholarship and creative activity; teaching; and community service — share their thoughts on where things are heading with regard to engagement.
Engaged scholarship, research and creative activity
Co-Chairs:LeeAnn Lands, associate professor of history, and Arjan Raven, associate professor of information systems
"One of our first goals is to showcase the important research and creative activity faculty and students are already doing with partners locally and around the world," said Lands, whose research into metropolitan housing and culture and project in Cartersville's Summer Hill neighborhood has been cited as an outstanding model of engaged scholarship.
"Long term, we plan to create infrastructure that will offer continuous and high levels of support for faculty and students who are doing research and creative activity with and for community partners."
Lands cited the Center for Statistics and Analytical Services, led by Jennifer Priestly, associate professor of statistics. The center provides statistical analysis for the university, regional companies and governmental agencies. As a consultant to companies and agencies, it also provides training in statistics and in statistics software, statistical modeling, process improvement studies and sampling.
"Through partnership with external corporations, governments, and other entities such as Georgia Power and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, the center develops projects that result in direct benefits to the partner," Lands said. "At the same time, the projects enhance the academic discipline and the curriculum, as well as help train undergraduates and graduates."
Engaged Teaching
Chair:Lynn Boettler, assistant professor of educational leadership
"Our goal is to identify, recognize and advance engaged teaching practices at Kennesaw State," said Boettler. "We embrace teaching and learning that builds reciprocal relations with our global and local communities."
Boettler noted, for example, the Department of First-Year Programs' "Be the Change" course. The three-credit first-year seminar invites first-year students to learn academic success skills while making a difference in their communities. The students investigate a world problem, and offer solutions that culminate in a final project requiring academic and life skills relevant to multiple disciplines and careers. Through these projects, students strive to effect change regarding relevant community issues such as homelessness, poverty, human rights, sex trafficking, pollution, childhood diseases, illiteracy, and educational inequality.
In addition, Boettler said, Sandra Bird, professor of art education, has been modeling community engaged teaching in her "Intercultural Curriculum Models" course for more than 10 years. Her students research, design, teach and assess units focused on non-western arts/cultures in local elementary and middle schools.
Engaged Service
Co-chairs:Sylvia Inman, assistant director of Volunteer KSU and community service, and Anne Hicks-Coolick, associate professor of social work
The engaged service team is working to build opportunities and capacity for students, faculty and staff to become engaged in community service. For example, Volunteer Kennesaw State presents an annual Volunteer Fair. Last September, more than 40 non-profit organizations attended the fair, where more than 500 students learned about the many ways they might engage with the local community.
The involvement of the Kennesaw State community in the local community over the years illustrates a long-standing culture of service at the university.
"Fourteen years ago my employment at Kennesaw State began with 'The Year of Honoring Service'," says Sylvia Inman, assistant director of Volunteer KSU and community service coordinator. "This validates KSU as having been historically 'engaged' in service programs, projects and activities for many years. The Engage KSU initiative will provide a formal process to identify, advance and recognize staff, faculty, alumni and students who are engaged in service."

With a little more than 10 minutes left in the second half and Davidson leading by five points, College of Charleston forward Trent Wiedeman pivoted to get between Wildcats forward Jake Cohen and the basket.
BY THE NUMBER32: points scored by Davidson's Jake Cohen10: 3-points by Davidson12: offensive rebound by Charleston59.3% – shooting by Davidson in 2nd half.
Wiedeman stepped on someone's foot in a cluster of bodies in the paint and rolled his ankle, tumbling to the floor at TD Arena.
Cohen turned toward the basket and was surprised to see no one there. He hesitated and then calmly made the uncontested layup.
The officials stopped the game as Wiedeman slammed his fist on the wooden floor in obvious pain and frustration. Wiedman limped off the floor to the Cougars bench.
The Wildcats would go on a 16-4 run over the next four minutes. Game over.
Cohen finished with a career-high 32 points and Nik Cochran added 14 to lead Davidson past the College of Charleston, 75-59, Thursday night before a crowd of 4,314.
With the victory, the Wildcats (18-7, 13-1 in SoCon) all but assured themselves of the Southern Conference's South Division title with less than a month left in the regular season. The Cougars, who are in second place in the SoCon's South Division, fell to 18-8 and 10-4, three games back with five conference games remaining.
Wiedeman, who has missed seven games with injuries to both ankles earlier in the season, initially thought the injury was much worse, but said he should be fine to play against Georgia Southern on Saturday. Wiedeman did return later in the half, but by then the game was out of reach.
"I just rolled it, nothing serious," said Wiedeman, who led the Cougars with 10 points, six rebounds and two blocks. "I was just frustrated to hurt it again."
Despite the Cougars getting outscored by 12 points after Wiedeman's injury, College of Charleston coach Doug Wojcik didn't feel his injury was a turning point in the game.
"I thought they were just tougher than us down the stretch," Wojcik said. "They're a veteran team with a lot of experience, and they were just tougher than we were tonight."
Charleston guard Anthony Stitt felt the Cougars should have rallied around Wiedeman's injury and used it as motivation the rest of the game.
"Trent's a vital part of our team, everyone knows that," said Stitt, who had nine points and a team-high three assists.
The Cougars could do little to stop Cohen.
The 6-10 senior connected on 13 of 24 shots, including three of seven from 3-point range, against the top scoring defense in the league.
"He's a great player, a tough matchup for anyone," Wiedeman said. "He can score in the post, he can shoot the three. He's very skilled. With his height and his length, he's a good shot blocker, and he can control the game at both ends of the floor."
The Wildcats opened the game on a 10-0 run, but the Cougars answered with a 20-10 run of their own to tie the game on Willis Hall's layup with 8:31 left before halftime.
The teams exchanged baskets as Davidson led 32-30 at halftime.
The Wildcats opened up a 47-40 advantage on Cochran's 3-pointer with 13:57 to play.
But a Hall putback and a 3-pointer from Stitt closed the gap to 47-45 with 12:29 left.
Cohen answered with a 3-pointer from the top of the key to push the Wildcats lead to 50-45 and after a missed basket by Stitt to set up the injury to Wiedeman on Davidson's next possession.

Technically, whenever you eat your 1st meal after a fast, that *is* your break-fast. I say turn the word-play to your advantage. I always eat breakfast. I just eat it around 2pm, give or take a few hours.
Thanks for the article!
I had a check up with my doctor today who is a staunch believer that breakfast is an essential part of good health-and I'm not a believer in that. I skip breakfast, exercise and then have lunch and dinner.
I just read this study done on the topic if anyone is interested in reading the article on it. I'd also like other's input on the topic in general. I'm sure it's been covered here before, just looking for some fresh thoughts on it especially since Mark's article today is on fasting/skipping a meal.

Trample the weak, hurdle the dead.
I have breakfast everyday sometime between 11am and 1pm, i wake up at 7
I didn't like the rules you gave me, so I made some of my own.

breakfast was at 1230 after getting up at 630. Fried eggs, ranchero sauce, and bacon.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
Same here. I usually have a coffee after 30 minutes and I don't eat until lunch time. At one point I did try eating breakfast (CW: Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper) and I immediately started putting on weight, I also found that it increased my appetite during the day. No, the later I eat breakfast, the less I want to eat. And I have often exercised fasting, it's more comfortable, I get cramps if I exercise on a full tummy.
Breakfast is overrated. I look at it this way:
CW: I have to eat breakfast before I go to the gym
PB: I need to go to the gym before I can have breakfast
Dunno about you, but I'm a whole lot more motivated to go work out if I'm not eating until afterwards!

I am in pretty decent shape by most standards and I train three days a week for 30-40 min at 6am after having not eaten since 6pm the day before and I don't eat until noon after my workout. Essentially I fast for 18 hours and train after a 12 hour fast and I have never been in better shape. CW can kisss my ass.
My photography:
I can see how people who are addicted to carbs need breakfast to function (Maple Syrup! Bagels! Cereal! Oatmeal!) - but for everyone else yeah - not so much.
ad astra per aspera
Even when non-primal I ran in a fasted state. When I had to do PM runs, it was never the same as the early morning ones, performance-wise and fun-wise. I feel light and airy if fasting, and I bet you notice that too.
It occurs to me now, that I used to gorge on hummus every evening, hours and and hours after the strenuous AM runs. Its probably all that fasted state exercise that allowed me to get away with that. That article's an interesting one...

The Brandin Cooks hype machine just started humming a little more.
Perhaps the most raved-about rookie in the NFL during training camp, the Saints' standout wide receiver will become the undisputed most raved-about rookie after what he did in his first preseason game action.
MORE: Teddy not ready | Bortles impressive | Michael Sam's debut | Ex-Seminoles shine
It started slowly against the defensive-tough Rams on the road in St. Louis on Friday night, but then after a little spark, Cooks started burning up with the speed, quickness and elusiveness that made him New Orleans' first-round pick in May. The result was dazzling in the end: 5 catches for 55 yards, including a beautiful 25-yard touchdown.
There was no dressed Drew Brees, and Cooks' only target from No. 2 quarterback Luke McCown was intercepted by the Rams' Chris Long. He also was blown up for a one-yard loss on his first punt return.
But go figure: Cooks, who saw a team-high eight passes go his way, got rolling with third-stringer Ryan Griffin. Cooks showed fine slot route-running in getting open for a five-yard gain on a third-and-four at the Rams' seven to set up his team's first touchdown.
He lined up everywhere in the Saints' attempt to get him into open field. It was clear in how Griffin found him for shorter passes — Cooks was immediately playing the role of former Saint Darren Sproles in New Orleans' diverse offense. On the same third-quarter series, Cooks undressed the Rams' younger defensive backs for a 17-yard gain two plays before exploding for his TD.
It was the perfect setting for Cooks to make his splash. Like his home Superdome, the Edward Jones Dome provided a fast track built for his wheels. He was able to get a lot of playing time well after the active first-teamers were out of the game. If he can do that with Griffin, imagine what he could do with Brees and getting the chance to play more consistently off big targets JImmy Graham and Marques Colston.
The buzz is for real on Cooks. So will be the nightmare of defenses that already are left tossing and turning against the Saints.

One of Australia's greatest exports is Nicki Parrott. Perhaps best known as bassist--and comic foil-- for guitar legend Les Paul at Iridium in New York, Nicki is a superb talent in her own right.
Her silky, sultry voice and nimble stylings on the bass delighted the crowd last night at Madison's Shanghai Jazz, where she was ably accompanied by Warren Vache on horn and Tardo Hammer on piano. Nicki even fended off a marriage proposal or two. Better luck next time, gentlemen!

An audit of special funds controlled by the California Public Utilities Commission shows widespread accounting problems.
"There were significant and substantial weaknesses in the budgeting staff, in training of the budget staff, in their accounting procedures, and their ability to do budgeting forecasting," said H.D. Palmer, the spokesman for the Department of Financing.
The audit found major differences between what the CPUC was reporting to the Department of Finance, and what the agency is reporting to the State Controller's Office.
"We looked at all of the 14 funds the PUC administers -- and seven of them had differences of more than a million dollars," Palmer said.
The differences totaled more than $400 million.
The CPUC gets money for these funds from residents by fees and taxes on phone bills.
During a budget subcommittee on Wednesday, lawmakers criticized the CPUC for the accounting problems.
The CPUC did not return calls from KCRA 3 on Wednesday, but in the audit, the agency agreed with most of the accounting problems discovered.
They agency will have until April 24 to submit a plan to correct the problems.

Available Transportation
Open Hours Near Me Transportation to Essential Shopping
Delta Center for Independent Living
Delta Center has attempted to help fill the gap by funding transportation to essential shopping and medical appointments. Delta Center has funded over $500,000 for direct transportation services to people with disabilities since 2002. However, the need for affordable transportation has continued to grow beyond Delta Center's ability to fund.
As a result, Delta Center has implemented the following changes beginning March 1, 2014:
- Funding for transportation has been reduced to twice per month for medical & essential shopping.
- Funding for rides to St. Louis will be discontinued effective July 1, 2014.
- Consumers may access transportation more often if able to fully pay the cost
- Advocacy & Peer Support rides are NOT included in this reduction
- There is a waiting list for new consumers who need funding for transportation through Delta Center
- Delta Center has implemented a $30 program fee to access transportation through the remainder of this Fiscal Year (until June 30)
The lack of affordable and accessible public transportation continues to be a significant barrier in St. Charles County. Any solution will require more than the efforts of Delta Center. We need YOU to partner with us and others to address this issue!
You can become part of the Solution by doing any or all of the following:
- Become involved with the Eastern Missouri Transportation Coordinating Council (EMTCC). If you don't know about this, just send me an email, and I will send you the information.
- Send personal letters, emails, and phone calls to members of the Transit Authority of St. Charles County as well as to locally elected officials (Mayors, City Council Members, the County Executive, the County Council, etc.) describing the need for transportation solutions and asking them to take action.
- Discuss the issue of public transportation with your friends, family, and co-workers.
Please feel free to contact me regarding any aspect of the above.
