FALSIFICATION, BARRETT ROAD: Police and fire personnel went to Barrett Road near Tower in the Park at 12:43 a.m. May 19 after a report of a body in the street with several stab wounds.
No one was able to find a body or anyone to meet them at the scene.
The Cuyahoga Emergency Communications Systems directed the call to dispatch. CECOMS gave police the phone number from which it came. At the same time, an officer who listened to the call when he returned to the station identified the voice as a man he arrested recently for driving under suspension and making a false report.
Police went to the Tower in the Park apartment and spoke to the suspect, who said he made the call because he was upset with his boyfriend. He was cited for making a false call and misuse of 9-1-1.
CRIMINAL DAMAGE, FRONT STREET: Someone damaged a car parked at a business May 16. The car windows were damaged on the right side from thrown rocks. The side mirror was broken and there was additional damage. The victim showed police that his wallet was visible inside the car. Several vehicles, which were unlocked, were entered that morning in the area. The suspect might have damaged the car while trying to get inside or as retaliation because he could not get into the vehicle, since it was locked.
MISUSE OF CREDIT CARDS, CROSSBROOK DRIVE: A resident discovered someone charged a laptop computer to her credit card that she did not authorize. She made a police report May 17. Later that day, she received a package that included the laptop and charges that amounted to the $753 illegally placed on her card. The package was addressed to her neighbors, but had her address. She spoke with her neighbors, who knew nothing about the purchase. The card, which the victim still had in her possession, was canceled.
THEFT, NORTH ROCKY RIVER DRIVE: Sometime between 9:30 a.m. and noon May 16, someone entered a woman's vehicle while it was parked at a local business. The car was not locked. When she returned to her car, she found the glove box open and paperwork thrown around the front seat. About 12 CDs were missing.
CRIMINAL DAMAGE, SHELDON ROAD: Someone damaged a parked car May 15. The passenger-side rear window was broken, likely by a rock that was on the ground near the vehicle. An e- reader and a GPS were missing. Cash also was stolen.
POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA, WEST BRIDGE STREET: Someone from the Berea Fire Department called police at 5:45 p.m. May 14 about a disturbance behind the station.
When police arrived, they found two firefighters at the scene and two teens, a boy and a girl, sitting on the tree lawn. The firefighters intervened when the boy pushed the girl to the ground after he yelled at her and followed her across the street.
During a search prior to putting the boy into the cruiser, the officer found a pill bottle that had green matter that looked and smelled like marijuana. Two burnt marijuana cigarettes were in the bottle.
While the girl was looking for identification, she emptied her purse and a pack of cigarettes fell out of it.
The girl said she did not believe the boy's push was meant to hurt her.
The girl was cited for possession of tobacco. The boy was charged with possession of marijuana.
FOUND PROPERTY, FRONT STREET: A former Berea auxiliary officer turned in money she recently found on the sidewalk in front of Cornerstone Brewery. The person who lost the money may claim it by calling the police department, 440-826-5870, and providing more details.

After recovering from Tommy John surgery, Brennan Price was limited to 22 at-bats in the 2012 season. Heading into the 2013 campaign, his senior season, the Middlesex High first baseman did not want his last high school opportunity to go to waste.
"I'll be honest, I was really antsy for this year. I was working almost five days a week hitting," Price said. "It felt great to finally contribute to the team and help them get a championship, and it was just a great year."
As soon as Middlesex hit the field, Price gave everyone a glimpse of what was in store for the season. In his first four games, the 6-8 lefty erupted for 11 hits, including two home runs, and he drove in 20 runs while scoring eight more.
Once Price got rolling, he never slowed down. He finished with a .443 average while hitting nine home runs and leading the state with 63 RBI.
On a Middlesex team that averaged 9.6 runs per game en route to 26 victories and the NJSIAA Group 1 championship, Price took advantage of batting in a deep lineup.
"I grew up with these kids and I knew we all could hit," he said. "It was just awesome to put it all together and going out senior year with a state championship is not bad."
Opposing teams quickly saw the threat Price posed at the plate, and were much more careful when pitching to him. Price saw a steady diet of breaking balls and off-speed pitches, and he worked to make adjustments.
In batting practice, Price faced a barrage of off-speed pitches, with a fastball or two to keep him honest. Once he adjusted to the other pitches, the numbers continued to grow.
"He really went to work on that until he really left pitchers with no options," Middlesex coach Mike O'Donnell said. "He continued to adjust with them the whole year, and that's why the numbers look the way they do."
The Felician College-bound senior drove in two or more runs in 16 of Middlesex's 30 games, including five games with five or more RBI. During Middlesex's run to the Central Jersey, Group 1 title and the Group 1 championship, Price went 8-for-16 with two home runs and 11 RBI in five games.

* Ryheem D. Lee, 24, of East Avenue in Millville, was arrested Monday and charged on a failure to appear warrant from Millville, one count of failure to pay from Fairfield, one count of contempt from Cumberland County Superior Court, and one count of burglary in relation to an incident that occurred November 1, 2010. He was also charged with hindering apprehension because he provided a false name at the time of his arrest. He was sent to Cumberland County Jail in lieu of $21,633 bail.
* Ediberto H. Tomas, 24, of North Pearl Street, was arrested Monday and charged with driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident.
A citizen had seen him hit a parked car by Pearl and Broad Streets, so he called police and began to follow Tomas.
Police eventually pulled Tomas over on Manheim Avenue, after he had struck another parked car.
He was committed to the Cumberland County Jail on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer, because he is an illegal immigrant.
* Upon arriving at West Avenue School for an alarm sounding at about 11 p.m., officers discovered that someone had in fact broken into the school.
Officers saw a damaged window, which the perpetrators had used to enter the building, and once inside they found a smashed open candy vending machine in the teacher's lounge, which was missing several snack items.
A K-9 from the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department tracked the suspect's scent to Route 49 and West Commerce Street, but the trail went cold there.
Damage to the window and machine, and the stolen snack items were valued at $1,050.
Police are still investigating.

Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com) -- Effective July 1st, all biodiesel sold in Minnesota will be required to have a minimum of 10% biodiesel fuel by volume.
The American Lung Association and the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council are excited about the change.
They say it will be beneficial for distributors and consumers alike, as it will provide a cleaner burning fuel and less toxic air emissions.
"There's a lot of work going on now with retrieving fats and oils out of waste water treatment that can actually be turned into fuel and used here successfully," said Mike Youngerberg, Senior Director of Field Services.
The change will be effective until the end of summer and will go back to 5% biodiesel when the cold weather kicks in.

Three-year-old girl dies in Mount Isa
- From: AAP
- May 27, 2014
AN investigation is under way to determine how a three-year-old girl died in an outback Queensland home.
Police say the toddler was driven from a home in Mount Isa to the mining town's hospital, where she was declared dead about 7.30pm on Monday.
No other information has been released.

The members of the Rutgers women's basketball team were feeling good about themselves and their twin-tower tandem of center Monique Oliver and forward Chelsey Lee. The pair have been dominating inside as the Scarlet Knights won five straight and were undefeated in five conference games this season.
The Knights felt they were battle hardened after some early season tests against the likes of Stanford, Texas A&M and Tennessee.
They thought that maybe thay had closed the canyon-sized gap between themselves and Connecticut, which features superstar forward Maya Moore and the freshmen duo of guard Bria Hartley and 6-5 center Stephanie Dolson.
They thought wrong.
After a sluggish start, the No. 2-ranked Huskies showed they're still the class of the Big East as they clobbered the Scarlet Knights, 63-44, on Wednesday night at the RAC before a small but vocal crowd that wasn't scared off by the snowstorm that pounded the area.
"This one hurts," Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer said. "I think we played hard. I think our team played well at the beginning and in spurts. We should be confident we can play with the best and look to get better.
"As strange as it may seem, I'm more encouraged and look forward to the NCAAs."
Connecticut (19-1, 8-0 in Big East), which had its record-setting 90-game winning streak halted by Stanford on Dec. 30, won it sixth straight game and its 58th consecutive Big East contest. The Huskies have had their way with Rutgers, holding a 26-6 advantage in the series.
Junior guard Tiffany Hayes led a balanced Connecticut attack with 18 points. Moore added 17 points and 16 rebounds and Hartley chipped in with 15 points. Dolson had seven points and eight rebounds. UConn held a 47-30 rebounding advantage while shooting just 36.1 percent, although they were eight of 19 from three-point range.
April Sykes paced Rutgers (12-7, 5-1) with 20 points. Oliver, who was averaging 18 points over the past five games, was held to 12 points and four rebounds. Lee, who entered the game with three straight double-doubles, had five points and four rebounds.
Rutgers starting guards Khadijah Rushdan (0-for-11) and Erica Wheeler combined for just two points on 0-for-16 shooting.
Leading 25-22 at intermission despite shooting just 28.1 percent (nine of 32), Connecticut started the second half with a 17-2 blitz and the Scarlet Knights were never heard from again. Four different UConn players scored during the game-breaking surge, with Moore, Hartley and Hayes each hitting 3-pointers.
"They're a quick-strike team, like a venomous snake," Stringer said. "They hit you bang and the next thing you know the nerves and everything shut down. You can be right there in the game and it'll be a 3-minute spurt and they've knocked off 10 points so fast. We were dazed."
The high-low post play of Oliver and Lee had been the Knights' calling card in recent games but the Huskies were ready.
"I thought we did a great job of keeping the ball out of the high post so they couldn't make the entry pass," Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma said. "We didn't let them see in the lane. We were content to let them shoot the jump shot."
Stringer said the Knights didn't set up quick enough in their half-court offense.
Despite their missed shots in the first half, the Huskies felt they were getting good shots, and it was only a matter of time before they started dropping.
"Even before the coaches came in at halftime we looked at each other and said the shots are going to fall," said Moore, who missed her first three shots and finished just 7-of-19. "Sometimes the shots don't fall, and you have to fight through it. We didn't do anything different. The shots were falling (in the second half)."
While Connecticut shot 44.8 percent (13 of 29) in the second half, the Knights hit just 9-of-27 attempts (33.3 percent).
"You have to give them credit," Stringer said. "They play the game for 40 minutes. It's something (for us) to work towards."
Though the Huskies didn't totally embarrass Rutgers as they did last season in Hartford, 73-36, it was a loss nonetheless. And this one was at home.
"It's very disappointing," Sykes said. "People who have come before us have won against UConn on this floor. We (the juniors) aren't going to get this opportunity again because next year we go to UConn. The sad part is: The fans were looking for us to win on our court because this is our territory."

Growing up I didn't do much to my hair. I couldn't keep it in braids longer than 2 hours. It was long thick and straight. My kid's hair is what is known as mixed hair. They have very different textured hair that requires special products. The whole process is new to me. I knew I eventually I'd have to conquer their mixed hair.
My son had long gorgeous curls and no hair cut until he 18 months. We only decided to cut his hair because he didn't do well with us brushing it. He would cry and it would really be a big event. I didn't know what to use in his hair and most of the products recommended were to thick for his hair or didn't work at all. The solution was to cut it all off. He hasn't had his hair past 2 inches long since.
When my daughter was born she had the most straight silky dark hair ever. I didn't think it would turn as curly as my son's. I thought small waves for sure but curls no. She now has a full head of curls down to her back. She's never gotten a haircut or trim. I have had to learn to manage her hair because there is no way we are cutting it all off.
It's become a whole lot easier as my daughter gets older. We have a routine and we know what products, brushes, and hair ties are best for her hair.
Here are a few of the products we just can't live without.
Mixed Hair Care 1 of 8
Scroll through and see what products we've learned to love for our daughter's hair.
Dove Frizz-Free Cream Serum 2 of 8
This is our number one must have. If I can't get my hands on this product(which has happened) We have a problem. It keeps my daughters hair frizz free and the curls stay put even over night. It works best with freshly washed wet hair.
Dove Nourishing Dry Ends Serum 3 of 8
This is best to retouch her hair when dry or a day since washing. When it's dry and I'm styling I add this serum to get nice smooth clean finish. It does a good job at controlling her fly away baby hairs too.
Pantene Relaxed Natural Conditioner 4 of 8
I can use any shampoo on my daughter's hair but when it comes to conditioner this is the best one for her hair. It's moisturizing enough that when she's in the shower I can comb through her hair with no issue.
Vaseline Cocoa Butter Lotion 5 of 8
I have been left with no product in house and I've had to get creative. I use to use lotion in my hair when wet when I was younger to make it soft and silky. A little can give you a deep leave in conditioner effect. My daughter's hair does well with this brand and a quarter size of product on each half of her hair.We only apply once and then wash out after a day because it can get gunky and feel dirty if you use too much.
Goody Ouchless Brush 6 of 8
This is our go to brush because if we don't brush through or skip a night it can get hectic. Her hair forms knots instantly and it can be very difficult to brush through. This lets me comb through with no issue.
Conair Tail Comb 7 of 8
This comb is best to remove small knots and also to divide her hair to style it. I use to have a hard time getting into her hair just to make a part but now I can't live without this long tail comb.
Good Ouchless Hair Ties- 8 of 8
These hair elastics are the best for her hair. I am still learning to style and even braid so these are great to work with when I keep making mistakes. The ouchless ties make it easy to take off and start again.
What are some of your must have hair products?

Devils don't want to let the Flyers up off the mat
With a relentless forecheck and unwavering resolve to do their battling between the whistles, the Devils have pushed the Philadelphia Flyers to the brink of elimination.
They can push them over the edge and end their season with one more win and are determined to get it in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals at Wells Fargo Center.
"We want to end this, obviously, as soon as we can," said Devils coach Pete DeBoer, whose team leads the series 3-1 after winning the last three games. "We know they're going to play their best game. I'm confident we're going to bring our best game. They're a dangerous team at any point in a series and the last one is always the toughest to win. I like how we're playing and we've just got to continue to do what we're doing."
The Flyers will have to try to avoid elimination tonight without center Claude Giroux, who was suspended for one game by the NHL on Monday for his head-hunting hit on Dainius Zubrus in Game 4 Sunday.
That's just another reason for the Devils to want to finish the Flyers off tonight and not give them any hope of making a come back.
"You don't want to let a team like this up off the mat and you don't want to let them back in if you can help it," DeBoer said. "Re-watching the tape (of Game 4), I thought they pushed back. I thought their battle level was very good. I just think that we've kept ours high the entire series and that can't change."
The Devils have controlled play and had the Flyers on their heels for much of the last three games even after giving up the first goal in each of them. They outshout the Flyers, 43-22, in their 4-2 win in Sunday's Game 4 and the goaltending of Philadelphia's Ilya Bryzgalov was the only reason the final score wasn't lopsided.
"We're not spending a lot of time in our zone," Devils captain Zach Parise said. "That makes it tough for them when it feels like whenever they've got the puck we have a guy right next to him and a couple of guys ready to jump on him and go back the other way."
At the same time, the Devils have demonstrated collective restraint in skating away from the Flyers' repeated attempts to draw them into after-the-whistle scrums and retaliation penalties. The Flyers thrived off that in their impressive first-round win over Pittsburgh, but have been unsuccessful in their bids to distract the Devils similarly.
"I think coming into this series we saw what they did to Pittsburgh and we wanted to make sure that didn't happen to us," DeBoer said. "We knew composure and discipline were going to be at a premium for us. I think when we got our heads wrapped around that we were going to have to walk away from those type of situations and take a punch in the head at different points and not retaliate, I think everything fell in place."
It's not that the Devils are just allowing the Flyers to push them around. They are simply choosing to save their energy for the battles within the game itself.
"We retaliate in the game," Zubrus said. "We play hockey. Our strength is to not get into those things. We play whistle to whistle and we'll try to continue doing that."
"We have a lot of respect for that team," goaltender Martin Brodeur said. "We don't want to give them an inch and that's the way we approach every game. Games have been tight. Bryzgalov is playing well for them and we've just got to keep doing what we've been doing. But, for us, it's a key. We're playing hard. Our intensity has been great, but our discipline has been better."
The Devils have never lost a series in which they led 3-1 and only 21 teams in NHL history (in 241 tries) have recovered from such a deficit to win. The Flyers did it just two years ago, though, climbing out of a 3-0 hole to defeat the Boston Bruins.
So, the Devils know they can't expect the Flyers to just roll over and give them the series Tuesday.
"They're a comeback team," Devils center Travis Zajac said. "They've got the players to do it. The fourth game is always the toughest one to get and (tonight) we'll have to be ready from the first shift."
"Ideally, we'd love to go there and end the series, but again we expect them to play very well," Parise said. "So, we have to keep playing the same way we are and even better."
The Devils are 4-1 at home in the playoffs, but also have fared decently on the road, going 3-3, including a Game 7 win in Florida and a split of the first two games of this series in Philadelphia.
So, though they expect the crowd to be loud and rowdy at Wells Fargo Center Tuesday night, that is not an atmosphere that intimidates them.
"I think we were pretty good throughout the year on the road," Zubrus said. "We never felt like it bugged us or bothers us in any way. We started out playoffs on the road and we know we need to win games on the road to go forward. We've done that so far. We're going to try to the same thing tomorrow."
DeBoer moved right wing Steve Bernier up from the fourth line to play on the line with Parise and Elias in the second period of Sunday's game.
That move pushed David Clarkson down to the fourth line. DeBoer said the decision had nothing to do with the way Clarkson was playing, but what Bernier was doing.
"I liked how he was playing and I wanted to give him some shifts with those guys," he said.

The Clear Lake wrestling team placed second Saturday at the nine-team Clear Lake Invitational. Charles City won the tournament.
Three Lions were crowned champions: Brennen Doebel, Ryan Leisure and Andres Gonzalez. Doebel was named the meet's most outstanding wrestler by the nine coaches.
Three Lions were also second place finishers. Ryan Faught, Blake Kelso and Connor Nosbisch wrestled well, but lost to state ranked wrestlers.
"We wrestled well, but Charles City is just that good," said Lions Coach Gary Weber. "We would like to thank all of the workers that helped."
The Lions will continue to be tested by tough competition this week. Saturday the Lions will take on number two ranked Davenport Assumpton and number seven Osage, as well as Independence at the Osage Tournament. Tuesday, Jan. 21, the Lions will battle seventh ranked (3A) Mason City.
"The Mason City meet is a good local rival for us," said Coach Weber. "The pep band is playing, it's Parent's Night, Coaches vs. Cancer, and junior varsity wrestling-- it should be fun. We only have two home duals, so we are hoping our fans can make it out to see some good wrestling."
Here are Coach Weber's comments from the Clear Lake Invitational:
106: Brennen Doebel, first place. Brennen pinned Andrew Mettry, of Forest City, who was 27-0 and ranked number three in the state. If we can keep his weight stabilized, he will be tough for anyone to beat.
113: Ryan Leisure, first place. Ryan had two pins and a technical fall on the day. He is wrestling just great and is also helping the team by moving to 120 when necessary.
120: Tanner Berger, fourth place. Tanner had a great day. He was losing 12-1 and came back and pinned a kid from LeMars with only three seconds left in the match.
126: Spencer Orr, third place. Spencer went 3-1 on the day and looked good.
132: Ryan Faught, second place. Ryan lost a close match in the finals. He is working very hard and we will continue to work on some technical situations.
138: Andres Gonzalez, first place. Andres also had two pins and won 15-4 in the finals over the seventh ranked wrestler in the state. He is a beast and is 23-0 on the year.
145: Blake Kelso, second place. Blake had two close wins to get to the finals. He showed a lot of heart to come back and win two matches that he trailed in.
152: T.J. Hauser, fifth place. TJ had two nice pins to take fifth.
160: Logan Wilcke, fifh place. Logan just dropped to 160 this week. We are trying to help him with techniques that our staff feels will help add to his number of wins.
170: Brad Hillyer. Brad did not place, but showed a lot of heart all week by wrestling up a weight class to help the team.
182: Connor Nosbisch, second place. Connor's only loss was to undefeated state place winner Joe Teage, of Algona.
195: Carter Garrington, fourth place. Carter was one point from making it to the finals. He is having a good year.
220: Ace Walton, fifth place. Ace only weighs 190 and is wrestling 220. He is doing well.
220: Kyle Willms, sixth place. Kyle picked up his first varsity win on Saturday. He has a bright future.
285: Mitchell Jordan, fifth place. Mitchell lost 1-0 to the champion. He - Read More Via e-Edition

Which High-Wind ISonic 87/94/96 ?
i am using ST115 and PA86, and i am very pleased with the performance of this boards !
I am 90kg and using the ST115 with NP RSS 6,2 and 7,2 and the board works perfect with this combination - very fast and controllable; outperforming mostly anything else on the water. Love it !!
I discovered GPSSS with the ST115 and made it to 33 kts with 6,2. However, i want to push my personal limit further now (without going to the extremes) and feel the ST 115 a little bit to big for this.
I am looking now for some of the smaller Isonics; so either 2007 87&94 or 2008 87&96.
my trend goes to the large 94 or 96 as i think there are the better compromise between GPSSS and hi-wind slalom sailing. Also i think the larger ones might better carry the RS7.2
(remark : i will keep the ST115 for 7,2 slalom conditions!)
What would you suggest ? Which boards fits best to my objectives ? What are the differences between 2007 and 2008 models again wrt. my objectives? ( I think i might still get an 2007 model for a good price) What are the sweet spots of the boards wrt. sail size ?
What fin size you suggest for the given sail sizes either for GPSSS or hi-wind slalom sailing ?
Sorry for asking so much questions, but i am really uncertain which board to choose.
I would appreciate your advise.
Thx and regards

Playing under a glowing full moon on Monday night, the league had a chance to win two.
They had to settle for just one title – with the second one to possibly follow 24 hour later.
The Senior League softball team defeated Pitman, 8-3, to capture the state title on its home field and will represent New Jersey at the East Regional in Worcester, Mass., on Friday night.
"It feels really good because within a matter of a month we turned this team into something we never thought it would be," said Monroe leadoff hitter Nicolette Gentile, who went 2-for-4 but reached base all four trips and scored three runs. "We dedicated so many hours and sat out in the heat in the hottest days of the summer. But it was all worth it because I could not be prouder of this team to win the first state title in Monroe's history. It's just phenomenal."
The Monroe 9-10 baseball team was one win away from the state title in Wayne but its game got rained out and will be made up today. While the baseball players will be trying to make it 2-for-2 in state finals for Monroe, the softball players will be packing and working out the logistics for their trip to New England.
"It's just terrific," said Monroe manager Tony Bannister. "This is all about the girls. It's a great group and they all deserve it. I am just here for the ride."
It was a nerve-racking one for half of the night. Despite the final score, it was anyone's game and a pitcher's duel for the first four innings. Monroe, which beat Pitman 10-7 in the semifinals, scored an unearned run in the first inning.
Otherwise Pitman's Julie Gillespie and Monroe's Taylor Hobbs went toe-to-toe with each other in the pitcher's circle. The score after four full frames was still only 1-0.
"The girls did a great job but (Monroe) just out-played us," Pitman manager Larry Summers said. "If we had had a bounce here or there go our way things could have been flip-flopped. We had that one bad inning that got away from us."
It came in the top of the fifth inning, when Casey Osterdahl led off with a bloop single and Gabby Jackson singled - on a bad hop that probably would have at least been a fielder's choice at second. Gentile had an infield single and Osterdahl scored on a throwing error at first. Two more runs came in on a ground out and fielder's choice to make it 4-0.
Devon Nealer hit a solo home run to straight-away center for Pitman to make it 4-1 but Monroe added four more runs in the sixth to break the game open. Samantha Huff, Osterdahl, Jackson (double), Gentile and Madison Jenkins put together five straight hits to knock in the four runs.
Pitman added two unearned runs in the bottom of the sixth to make it 8-3 but that was as close as Hobbs, who had five strikeouts and went the distance with catcher McKenna Boyd, and Monroe would allow the District 15 champs to get.
"It was a great run" Summers said. "We had to win a doubleheader to win the sectionals and battled back from a loss to get here to the final. I can't say enough about the girls. They were outstanding."
But Monroe was just a little better.
"We had a feeling that we going the whole time," Gentile said. "If you knew the group of girls we played with and the attitude we had, we knew there was no way we weren't getting past this tournament. And now we are going to Massachusetts."

Back from the Brink
Overcoming failure is just a part of success for entrepreneur Chase Franklin
Story by Vanessa Blackburn ('95)
Chase Franklin (86 Economics/Mathematics) knows what its like to face catastrophic collapse. His Seattle-based dot-com software company Qpass was poised to go public in 2000 when the bottom fell out of the market. With $25 million in the bank, Qpass had just enough to pay its 200 employees for six months. Franklin quickly realized he needed to make some swift and difficult decisions.
So Franklin, a Microsoft alum who founded Qpass in 1997, made some brash moves to reposition and restart the company. In a software company, people represent the lions share of operating expense. So almost overnight, the company took steps to lay off two-thirds of its employees, released all of its customers, and began the difficult process of changing direction all while maintaining the full support and confidence of the companys investors. Qpass went from selling e-commerce services to more than 100 Internet sites to selling a similar product for a much smaller group of wireless carriers.
The move focused the company on a more viable market and positioned it to be sold for more than $300 million in 2006, which at the time was the third-largest acquisition of a privately-held, venture-backed technology company in Washington state.

Not bad for a company that was on the brink of failure just a few years earlier.
Window Magazine caught up with Franklin, who has been working with entrepreneurs for years, to ask him some secrets to start-up success.
You mentioned in your Fall 2011 commencement speech at Western that entrepreneurs first take the risk and ask permission later. What did you mean by that?
Entrepreneurs need to be indifferent to risk or at least have a desire to take risks. Its similar to someone with a gambling addiction. You almost have to enjoy that constant sense of uncertainty. Especially in technology, the ambiguity of the startup environment means you are constantly trying to make good, high-quality decisions based on profoundly incomplete or inadequate information. When all eyes are on you as the CEO, a startup is a deeply disconcerting place to work if youre troubled by ambiguity. Ultimately, to be successful, you have to see an opportunity that no one else sees, then muster the courage and determination to pursue it.
Youve also spoken about the importance of having a talented workforce. How do you attract and keep talented people?
The market for talent in the Northwests software industry is ultracompetitive. Not only do you have upwards of 250 active startups, but giants like Amazon, Google, Adobe, Zynga and others employ thousands of software professionals. So you must create a company culture that can rise above the white noise of competition, not only to recruit new employees but even more importantly to retain experienced employees. Everyone must work to create a culture that makes the company a great place to work, that allows for autonomy, responsibility and respect for others. You know your culture is constructive and strong when your employees become genuine evangelists to friends and former colleagues.
Chase Franklin (86)
Entrepreneur, angel investor, startup strategist
Started at Western at age 25 after being laid off from Boeing
Spent more than a decade at Microsoft in product development and business strategy
Holds three patents
Preparing to launch another startup tech company
Endowed an excellence in teaching award at Westerns College of Business and Economics, named it after his daughter and son, Allette and Cayden Franklin.
Golf fanatic
Whats the biggest thing youve learned from facing failure?
Ive had many opportunities to learn from failure. Acknowledging and embracing failure are among the best ways to learn and a major strength of Americas form of capitalism. However, I am sometimes bothered by a tendency in the startup community to celebrate failure, as though failure is a badge of honor among the digerati. Saying Oops, we failed, but we should all feel swell because we worked so hard is not constructive. I think if youre too laudatory about failure and simply accept that only 20 percent of startups succeed, then it can take you off the hook. Success is what everyone is trying to achieve, and if you dont obtain it, people should be really disappointed. And if its part of a pattern of failure, then there need to be serious steps to change that course and fix it.
What is the No. 1 piece of advice you have for budding entrepreneurs?
Probably to under-promise and over-deliver. Entrepreneurs tend to be disproportionately optimistic and confident. Blended with managerial inexperience, the result is often a cascading array of missed dates, forecasts and objectives. Its easy for entrepreneurs to over-simplify problems, either to employees or their board or peers on the management team. Ultimately, everyone in the business needs to trust the leadership team to guide the company to success, and also be realistic about what the company can do.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
Although Scott Joplin's musical interests were considerably broader than what could be expressed in ragtime - he composed two operas (Treemonisha is considered by many to be his masterpiece), a ballet, and two orchestral works - he is best remembered today as the 'King of the Ragtime Writers', the master of freely syncopated and extraordinarily inventive piano rags. This recording includes the whirling, scintillating Stoptime Rag, the nostalgic Gladiolus Rag, and Joplin's last ever work for piano, Reflection Rag. Volume One is available on Naxos 8.559114.

My method: I faithfully abstained from coffee for one month. I started to feel MUCH better! No more stomach aches by the afternoon and surprisingly more energy. So by month two I was interested to see what would happen if I drank coffee just once, "it'll be fiiinnnneee". Boy was I wrong! After a 6 oz coffee + 6 hrs I was not a happy Robin. I had a couple more relapses (just to see) and had a cup while at work or an espresso at home. These were not comfortable days. I seem to get stomach pain very high up (not lower intestinal or anything) about 6 hours after drinking the delicious brew. Is that weird?

Jason Downs thought he was videotaping himself reeling a 10- or 12-pound grouper into his kayak about two miles off of Navarre Beach. The six-foot bull shark in the water had other ideas, snatching all but the fish's head off the line in one bite and giving Downs a very legitimate reason to say "whoa."
OK, Downs would have been justified in saying something a lot stronger than "whoa," but as Downs' semi-viral YouTube video of the incident shows, he kept it PG-rated. The video runs through the crucial moment three times at different speeds, showing the blink-of-an-eye bite in real-time and then slowing things way down
Downs told The Northwest Florida Daily News he shot the video about two years ago, but only got around to posting it last week. Since then, it's been viewed nearly 400,000 times and featured on Yahoo!'s main ticker.
"It's not the first time something like this has happened," Downs told the Daily News. "A year ago one grabbed a fish right out of my hand."
There's an incentive to go kayak fishing for you. You can watch Downs' video below:
- Cincinnati Reds trio making rehab starts in Pensacola -- Those who were bummed out about the rained out exhibition game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Pensacola Blue Wahoos last week at least got to see a few Reds players at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium this week.
Reds pitcher Mat Latos made the Opening Day start for Pensacola against the Tennessee Smokies. Latos has been remarkably consistent in the big leagues, winning 14 games in each of the past two seasons and striking out between 185 and 189 batters for four consecutive seasons. Latos wasn't especially sharp on Thursday, giving up five runs, three earned in four innings, but he's still bouncing back from elbow and knee surgeries this off-season.
Joining him were Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco and reliever Jonathan Broxton. The Wahoos are playing through this weekend at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium. The members of Reds trio should be in town for a while longer. The Wahoos are at home for four more games against the Tennessee Smokies before heading out on their first road trip of the year.
- Daily Beach quote -- "The earth has music for those who listen." -- George Santayana
- Show me your beach -- Many people have a favorite beach spot along the coast, whether it's a certain beach access, restaurant, bar or quiet spot away from all the commotion.
Today's suggestion comes from Sam Ellard, who recommends Johnson Beach, a part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore on Perdido Key. Ellard suggests driving past the main parking lot and going to the last walkover on the beach side to avoid the crowds.
Let me know about your favorite and send me a picture if you've got one. I'll share the best ones in future editions of this column.

A new interactive handbook helps novice bird watchers identify birds by appearance and sound. "The Backyard Birdsong Guide" by Donald Kroodsma describes birds that inhabit Eastern and Central North America.
The 192-page book has a touch button electronic module housing common vocalizations of 75 species. The guide, published by Chronicle Books, costs $24.95. For information, call 415-537-4200.
The 7-inch-by-9-inch book features a color drawing of each bird and a written description of the bird's sound. Range maps from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology give geographic references for the birds' habitats. The audio player is powered by three AAA batteries.
Kroodsma, professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, is a visiting fellow at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a nonprofit institution in Ithaca, N.Y. He has studied bird song for more than thirty years.

November 1-4 promises to be the date from hell.
Too much to choose from. The Concours and the racing stuff at Roebling Road Raceway. Johnny Winter in Savannah. Auldbrass open to the public.
Great googily moogily.
Johnny Winter,is Edgar still around too?Who'd had thunk those two albino rockers would still be with us!
"Phone's ringing, Dude."
It's probably trouble waiting to happen.
Edited by thedudewalter, who needs to learn when to shut up...
"Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain."
Johnny Winter, the next weekend, after Concours.
I was wrong on the date; he is here Nov. 9
"You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me."
You were made by God and for God-and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
If I'm not mistaken...I think the Coastal Empire Fair comes around that time of year also. (Oct 25- Nov 4th) Just one more thing to choose from:>)
Don't get sidetracked by looking at the faults of others.
Regardless of the events scheduled here, we are off to the mountains on NC to see leaves. We plan every third weekend in October and are seldom disappointed.
We NEVER go to the Coastal Empire Fair; too dirty, overcrowded (too small a space) and too much violence (too few cops) and too many vehicles being vandalized.
Much better - the Coastal Carolina Fair in Charleston (actually Summerville/Ladson) at about the same time - clean, wide throughways, easy access, great parking, and a cop everywhere you look.
We useta take the kids out of school at noon on Friday, drive up, be at the gate when it opened at 3, stay til 10, then get a motel room and spend the night - then go back so we could play all day Saturday, too!
Now we just 'do' the Hardeeville Festival the last Saturday of October (shameless plug).
"The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." -- George Orwell
Just keep Oct. 13 open. That's one week from today. The Shelter Pawty and Treat Fest returns to the area in front of the post office from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and I fully expect to see you there.
I love the Coastal Empire Fair, too, jstrait!!! Many, many fond memories of that fair. I love the cheesiness of fairs. Love the rides and the dopey games and the yucky food!!! And, Steph, I shall see you at the shelter pawty... please remind me, though! I should bring Buddy, too, huh?
And Hardeeville puts on a great fair!
My brother saw them together recently in New Jersey said it was a great show. Although one of them and I thought it was Johnny (Icould be wrong though) had to be helped onto the stage and sat through the entire show. Where is it that he's playing? We saw Molly Hatchet last night at the Riverwalk in Savannah. Great show!
Thank you for posting the website for the Coastal Carolina Fair. We've never been to that one. The state fair in Columbia is fun too. The Coastal Empire Fair in Savannah only had rides and games. I like the animals and exhibits that accompany most fairs. We're from farm country in Upstate NY and VT. We'd hit all the county fairs we could every summer and have so much fun doing it. Alot of friends all showed animals with 4-H so we had to check out all of their livestock.
Would you tell me what's in Hardeeville the last Saturday of the month? Any other fairs you could share with me?
Thanks in advance from my twin 6 year old boys who LOVE the fair!
Free admission to the Festival, the rides are $8.00 for an all day bracelet. Music on stage all day Saturday, with craft booths and all different types of food booths, as well as commercial booths for sponsors and others who want to show off their wares and products. They try to limit the 'carnival' stuff as much as possible; it is a real family day. Got some new rides this year and some old favorites like the inflatable slide, and the swings. The Boy Scouts usually have their climbing wall.
This year they are expanding the music to Firday nite, but the rides will be open too. The Friday night concert isn't free.
It is all back behind the City Hall (looks like an old schoolhouse) on Hwy 46. Parking is on Hwy 46 as well as down the road next to City Hall. There are signs.
I know what you mean about exhibits and shows up Nawth; that is the main reason we go to the Coastal Carolina Fair. They have the flower arrangement/competition building, the arts and crafts building - and they have show arenas for 4-H clubs and their Horses and cattle, and even bunny rabbits! That's why we always spend at least two days. My dau got her picture taken with a white tiger's paw on her shoulder - they were there to perform and they liked her very much, the trainer let her get close, and one just reached out and rested his paw on her shoulder! Scary - but I'd never heard a tiger purr before!

does Lam Jones also make the list?
Well, it seems you can add exhibit 1,433 – Michael Nugent. "Nooge," as my good buddy and fellow Mets-Jets sufferer and I enjoyed calling him, was selected by the Jets back in 2005 with the #47 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Nugent was a record-setting placekicker at Ohio State. Still he was a placekicker. Did I mention the New York Jets selected him with the #47 pick? In the second round? A placekicker? OK, breathe…breathe.
Anyway, should we Jets fans care to torture ourselves more or bash this particular pick anymore, one could point to some players that went later in the second or even the third round including Packers safety Nick Barnett, Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson, Rams safety Oshiomogho Atogwe and Giants defensive end Justin Tuck to name a few. Ah, yes, fellow bust-a-rooni Justin Miller wedged in their as the Jets other second-round pick. Who you may ask? Exactly.
Why all this? Well, the Bucs gave ole' Nooge the boot yesterday. Picked up at the start of the season, he signed a one-year contract and got the job after Matt Bryant was injured. He then managed to seize the opportunity and drill zero of his first four field goals of the season. Nugent added two misses on Sunday against the Skins (granted from 48 and 49) bringing his total to 2-of-6 over the Bucs first four games. Such was enough for Tampa Bay who sent him packing.
/adding Nugent to list next to Thomas, Robertson, Brady, Vick (Roger), etc, etc.
/at least this Sanchez kid seems to be working out OK
does Lam Jones also make the list?
Mike Haight? Dewayne Robertson.
I still hate the fact the Jets took Santana Moss over Casey Hampton in 2001. Bryon Thomas over Ed Reed. Ken O'Brien over Dan Marino.
i happened to like johnny lam…just looked up that he was only around for five seasons and then gone from league. 61 games for that pick…

Because if it is, millions in Spain will be in need of prayers for atonement come Christmas Day. Most Spanish people hold a small portion of a Christmas lottery ticket, even if they don't gamble the rest of the year.
The Spanish Christmas Lottery ("Sorteo Extraordinario de Navidad") is the world's biggest lottery, and has been running since 1812. The Christmas Lottery is based on tickets comprised of five-digit numbers, meaning they get printed out tens of times. Because each ticket costs 200 euros, the tickets are usually sold as tenths called 'décimos' with the payout being 10% of the prize. So popular is the event, many organizations buy tickets and divide them among employees and even customers as gifts. Perhaps the biggest indicator of how ingrained the Christmas Lottery is into Spanish society is the fact that the drawings have been performed according to the same unique procedure since 1812: pupils of the San Ildefonso school, which was formerly reserved as an orphanage for children of public servants, draw the numbers and corresponding prizes, and then sing the results in front of the public.
Unlike more contemporary gambling methods, mostly done on websites like PartyBingo individually and from the comfort of the gamblers' home, the Christmas Lottery drawing is performed on live TV during the course of several hours (yes, hours! No instant gratification here, folks) and inevitably becomes a community social gathering. There are two vessels with wooden balls in them: one vessel contains the balls with the numbers while the other contains the wooden balls with the prizes (in euros) inscribed on them. As the drawing happens, one child sings a winning number and another sings the corresponding prize. This is done until all prize balls are connected to a number which takes hours as there are 1,807 prizes (don't worry, the kids get breaks and work in shifts).
The 'El Gordo,' or the biggest prize, is the last to be drawn. Because most lottery outlets only sell one or two numbers, the winners usually either work in the same community, or work for the same organization. For example, in 2010, 414 million euros was won by Barcelona residents, with the remainder split among other areas.
This year, the biggest prize went to the residents of a small town in Alcala de Henares, a working class neighborhood with public housing and many immigrants. In a time of deep economic crisis, it's heartwarming to see that the Spanish Christmas lottery perhaps more than ever brings much needed Christmas cheer and hope to those who need it the most.

Brenda Wootton (née Ellery) (10 February 1928 – 11 March 1994)[1] was a Cornish poet and folk singer and was seen as an ambassador for Cornish tradition and culture in all the Celtic nations and as far as Australia and Canada.
Early life and career[edit]
She was born in London, but grew up in the fishing village of Newlyn.[1] She began her musical career as a young schoolgirl, singing in village halls throughout the remote communities of west Cornwall. Wootton became active on the folk scene in the early 60s, helping to keep the Cornish folk song tradition alive for many years. Her early albums were recorded on Cornwall's Sentinel label, often with her singing partners John the Fish (also known as John Langford [3]), Robert Bartlett and later with guitarists Pete Berryman, Mike Silver, Al Fenn, David Penhale and Chris Newman.
Many of her songs were composed by Richard Gendall. Her repertoire over the years covered folk, rock, blues, jazz and even hymns, but she is best remembered for her Cornish "standards" such as Lamorna, The White Rose, Camborne Hill, The Stratton Carol and the ballads Mordonnow, Tamar, Silver Net and Lyonesse.[citation needed]
She was equally at home when singing in Cornish, Breton or English and was as famous in Brittany, which she visited regularly, as she was in her native Cornwall. She opened her own folk club, the Pipers Folk Club, at St Buryan, Cornwall and appeared in the first ever Lorient Interceltic Festival in Brittany.[citation needed]
Wootton was a member of the Gorseth Kernow, where she was known by her Bardic name of Gwylan Gwavas (Seagull of Newlyn). In her later years, she became well known in Cornwall as a presenter for BBC Radio Cornwall where she hosted the popular weekly request show Sunday Best, until her death in 1994. She was also the Honorary President of Radio Beacon, the hospital radio service for St Lawrences Hospital in Bodmin.[2] Wootton died in March 1994, aged sixty six, after a long illness, at her home in Penzance.
In 1994 Wootton's daughter Sue Luscombe published a book of her lyrics, comic-verses, ballads and stories entitled Pantomime Stew.[3]
In 2010 it was announced that a previously unreleased audio tape had been discovered of a concert given by Wootton in June 1984 at the 'Bobino' theatre/music hall in Paris with Camborne Town Band and local musicians Ray Roberts, Dave Freeman and the renowned British acoustic guitarist Chris Newman.[4] Analogue master tapes of the concert were discovered by John Knight, her recording engineer, in his studio in Cornwall, and were then digitally mastered and edited for the new album. Knight commented at the time "Brenda wanted to have a personal record of the concert. She never released a live album. I don't think it was intended for release. But now I think we have the potential there" adding "Ideally we would love to release it on cd with some of the stories from the tour."[2]
Subsequently a new CD, All of Me, was released. The recording is unique as all nineteen tracks were previously unheard and represents a fitting tribute to Wootton, performing at what was considered to be the peak of her international career. A sixteen-page souvenir booklet, researched by Gloria Knight,[5] is included featuring unpublished photographs, many from Wootton's own private collection.[6]

Gun buybacks never work, the critics say. Just look: Thousands of guns have been turned in over the years across the county, you still have incidents like the horrific Christmas Eve massacre by that deranged "Santa Claus" near Los Angeles.
So why bother? Well, take it from Lt. Col. Tim Reagan, chief of detectives in St. Louis, where a gun buyback earlier this month removed 997 firearms from circulation, including 10 assault rifles. "You can't give a scientific evaluation of how many crimes it solves or prevents," says Reagan. "But you can say if a gun is not on the street, then it can't be used ... in an unlawful act or cause an accident."
Speaking of accidents, a gun kept in the home is 42 times more likely to kill or injure a family member or friend than a violent intruder.
In Staten Island, a buyback this month produced 352 weapons, including two sawed-off shotguns and an AK-47. "If not peace on Earth, you have helped bring peace on Staten Island," said New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
Other buybacks in Brooklyn and Manhattan netted some 1,200 guns. A buyback on Long Island sponsored by churches in Nassau County -- the first in 20 years -- produced 475 illegal guns, surpassing all expectations.
These successes prompted Queens Councilman James Sanders to call for a buyback in his borough, "before it's too late." Homicides in Queens are up 64 percent this year.
Buybacks typically involve turning in illegal handguns or other unregistered firearms -- no questions asked. In exchange, donors receive cash payments of up to $200, usually from assets forfeited in criminal investigations, or gift certificates from stores.
Buffalo police recovered 720 weapons in a recent buyback, including 261 handguns, 220 rifles, five assault weapons and 234 nonfunctioning firearms. Other successful buybacks this month include:
Ö 615 guns recovered in Newport News, Va., including 322 handguns and 293 long guns. The $100 gift certificates came from a foundation sponsored in part by basketball star Allen Iverson, a native of the Virginia peninsula.
Ö In nearby Chesapeake, Va., a buyback recovered 309 guns. "I'm absolutely pleased with the turnout and the number of people who recognize the harm guns can bring to their community, themselves and the police," said Chief Kelvin Wright.
Ö In Charleston, S.C., a buyback netted 242 guns in exchange for $100 Wal-Mart certificates. The guns recovered are to be melted down and formed into a sculpture honoring crime victims. North Charleston has been named the 10th worst city for crime in the nation.
Syracuse police collected at least 154 guns in a buyback held in August 2000. Each gun was worth a $50 certificate to P&C. A two-day buyback in May 2006 brought at least 122 guns in exchange for $200 for each working, unregistered handgun.
How about another buyback in Syracuse? As Rick Trunfio of the District Attorney's Office put it in 2006, any gun turned in won't be one of "the guns that are killing and injuring the young people on the streets."

Ducks' Paulson earns All-Pac-10 first-team honors
Oregon tight end David Paulson, an Auburn Riverside graduate, was named to the Pacific-10 All-Conference first team today.
Paulson, a 6-foot-4, 241-pound junior, was one of seven Ducks to make the first team, a school record. He joined running back LaMichael James, a Heisman finalist, center Jordan Holmes, wide receiver Jeff Maehl, linebacker Casey Matthews, cornerback Talmadge Jackson III and punt returner Cliff Harris on the Pac-10's top squad, as selected by a vote of the conference's head coaches.
In addition, Oregon's Chip Kelly was named Pac-10 Coach of the Year.
The Ducks capped an unbeaten regular season last Saturday with a 37-20 Civil War win over Oregon State. The No. 2 Ducks (12-0) will face No. 1 Auburn (13-0) in the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game at Glendale, Ariz., on Jan. 10 (5:30 p.m., ESPN).
Paulson and James were two of just four Pac-10 players named to both the All-Pac-10 team and All-Academic team. Paulson, who supports a 3.66 GPA in business administration, is a two-time recipient of the All-Academic honor.
Paulson is the Ducks' fourth-leading receiver with 370 yards and four touchdowns. He caught a touchdown and had career highs of four receptions and 61 yards in a win at Tennessee in September. He made two grabs for 42 yards, including the first touchdown of his career on a 30-yard reception, in a season-opening rout of New Mexico.
Paulson follows a long list of heralded Ducks at the position.
"He's a very smart player, and a very productive player," Ducks offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich told the Eugene Register-Guard. "He maybe doesn't look as flashy as some other guys, or make as much noise, but we'll take him."
Paulson is the son of Scott and Kristi Paulson.

Day Three: They came from Carpentersville
Crew enjoys the view from atop a job well done
By Phil Kloer
The best thing about being up on a metal roof under an intense Haitian sun is that the view is great, and there is usually a breeze. The worst thing about being up there is standing on metal in the blazing sun.
"The white steel panels are a reflective surface, bouncing that sun back up at you, so it's like working in a solar oven," said Travis Juracek, one of nearly 600 volunteers at the 29th Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project. The project is in Léogâne, Haiti, for the second straight year.
On Tuesday, the third day of construction on 100 new homes for Haitians left homeless by the 2010 earthquake, most of the houses were crowned with gleaming white roofs.
"Everyone sees the roof on and knows we're well on the way to completing the house," said Phil Watson, Juracek's friend and roofing partner. Along with Jack Festen and Dan Jensen, the four-man crew represents Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley, Illinois, near Carpentersville.
In addition to being a powerful symbol of progress, the new roofs provide shade for workers, a precious commodity with the heat-humidity index in the mid 90s for the second straight day. Despite the heat, the workers are persevering and all homes are on schedule, said Nevil Eastwood, director of this year's Carter Project.
Chalking up build No. 80
Jim Anderson thought he was prepared for Haiti. The Carter Work Project is his 80th build for Habitat. He grew up in El Paso, Texas, near the Rio Grande, and he is no stranger to what serious poverty looks like.
"Driving in from Port-au-Prince, the devastation here was worse than I expected: the rubble, the rusted rebar sticking out of buildings. The sheer number of people suffering is totally mind-boggling."
And so, Anderson did what he has done over and over back home in Texas: He's helping to build simple, decent shelters with people in need. A senior chemist for Dow, a major sponsor for this year's Carter Project, Anderson has been a Habitat volunteer since 1993, mostly with Habitat for Humanity of Southern Brazoria County, Texas.
"The best part of building for Habitat sometimes depends on the build," he said. "Sometimes it's the people you get to work with. You teach somebody something, or somebody teaches you something you can pass on. Sometimes it's the families, the kids, to get to know them. You feel like you've made a difference."
Keep calm and carry on
Safety is the No. 1 priority on all Habitat for Humanity worksites, but sometimes accidents happen. The prize for the most bizarre mishap — and the quickest recovery — may go to volunteer Richard Vale, 48, a software salesman from Dorking, England. Vale was nailing a board on a roof Monday when the board flipped up and came down on his right forearm, driving a nail that was stuck in the board all the way through his arm, then popping back out again.
"I didn't even know it went all the way through until I went to first aid and they showed me the exit wound," he said matter-of-factly. "It didn't hurt at all."
Wearing a bandage, Vale was back at the build site Tuesday morning — even on hammering duty.

Lenovo Thinkpads to come with Linux
Lenovo has announced that it will sell its T61 and R61 Thinkpads with Linux preinstalled from February 2008.
The move had already been promised in two earlier press releases, but now the company is coming up with the goods. Lenovo is also releasing the R61 for sale in Germany from January 22, 2008, although no announcement has been made regarding the date for release of the T61.
Both notebooks will be supplied with Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (SLED 10) Service Pack 1, including Firefox, RealPlayer, Macromedia Flash Player and OpenOffice. The support provided by Lenovo for hardware, the operating system and driver installation should prove particularly interesting for business customers. The partnership in place between Lenovo and Novell means that customers can obtain system updates directly from Novell.
The T61 is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 2.0GHz (800MHz FSB and 2MB L2 cache), supported by 1GB DDR2 RAM, an Intel GMA X3100 GM965 graphics card and a 14.1 inch LCD display with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. Furthermore, the T61 boasts a 5400RPM 80GB hard disk drive, CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive and on-board wireless LAN.
At a price of US$ 949, it costs US$ 20 less than the same system supplied with Microsoft Vista Home Premium. The R61 has a similar level of equipment, but is quieter and less power hungry. It is also priced around the US$ 950 mark.
