Find Your Passion: Combining Passions
By Deidre Stalnaker
Andrea Mabry was always catching her friends in the act.
"In high school, my friends probably wanted to kill me sometimes because I was constantly taking pictures of them eating, sleeping, working and talking," she says.
Her photo albums and scrapbooks aren't filled with the usual "say cheese" pictures.
"I've never particularly liked taking posed pictures because usually they don't give much of a sense of a person's personality," says Mabry, a junior majoring in journalism in The University of Alabama's College of Communication and Information Sciences. "Fundamentally, for me, taking pictures is about presenting an experience or feeling."
Her infatuation is not limited to photography. "I also have this gnawing urge to travel," she says. Mabry made a promise to herself if the opportunity to travel ever arises, take it.
And she got the opportunity of a lifetime last May. She studied and photographed the Ecuadorian Cloud Forest as part of a UA biology class.
"We traipsed through the rainforest for two weeks, learning about the flora and fauna and how things work together there," Mabry said.
She learned of the class through participation in UA's Computer-Based Honors Program, a nationally recognized undergraduate research program which pairs academically elite students directly with leading research professors to complete scholarly research projects in their field of study.
The Pelham, Ala., native lived only an hour's drive from The University of Alabama campus but had never been to campus until she was an upperclassman in high school. Mabry said she "fell in love with the campus immediately. CBH made me feel like I was supported at UA as an individual, not as a number."
Soon after she enrolled at UA, Mabry started working as a photojournalist for the University's student-produced newspaper, The Crimson White. She gained valuable experience and even captured bird's eye photos of the Bryant Denny Stadium while in a helicopter before a football game.
However, she discovered newspaper photography is not what she wants to do. She wants to delve deeper into her subjects. "You skim the surface of the story because you really only need a few good pictures," explained Mabry.
The study abroad class, not her last one she notes, was practice for what she wants to do in life. "I want to do documentary work, living someplace for weeks or months to get the story. Still or video, I'll be happy," Mabry says. "I combine my passion for photography with a love of travel and the unusual."
"When I decided to be a photojournalist, I knew I wanted to so some public good," she said. She plans to use the images captured in Ecuador during her class to bring attention to the deforestation in Ecuador and certain reforestation plans.

Burglary suspect back in court
BARRE One of the locals who police say was involved in a string of daytime burglaries at central Vermont homes over the past few months is being held on bail after allegedly violating his conditions of release by stealing change from cars early Thursday.
In addition, a fourth defendant has been added to the case.
Tyler C. White, 20, of Barre, pleaded not guilty Thursday in Washington County criminal court in Barre to one count of violating conditions of release. If convicted, he faces a maximum of six months in jail on that charge.
White was arraigned on two charges of felony burglary in Chittenden County criminal court in Burlington on Monday. He was also arraigned Wednesday in Orange County criminal court in Chelsea on two counts of felony burglary. If convicted on the burglary charges, he faces a maximum of 60 years in prison.
Also in Chelsea court on Wednesday, a fourth suspect, Crystal Barney, 23, of Barre, pleaded not guilty to one count of felony burglary. She faces a maximum of 15 years in prison.
Two others had already denied two counts each of felony burglary Monday. Justin G. Barcomb, 21, of Barre, was arraigned in Burlington. He faces a maximum of 15 years in prison. Moriah L. Benway, 18, of Barre Town, was arraigned in Barre. She also pleaded not guilty Wednesday in Chelsea to an additional count of felony burglary. She faces a maximum of 45 years in prison.
According to the Vermont State Police affidavit, there has been a string of break-ins in Washington, Orange and Lamoille counties since February, all with similar characteristics: They happened during the day, the front doors were kicked in, and the thieves took change and jewelry and removed pillowcases from the homes.
Between Feb. 17 and March 10, police say, 10 such burglaries occurred: four in Orange County and six in Washington and Lamoille counties.
On March 10, Barney told police she was involved in a Feb. 17 burglary in Washington, according to the affidavit. Barney told police that she, White and two other people went to a home on Lowery Road but that she was unaware there were plans to burglarize it. She said White went to the front door, knocked to see whether anyone was home, and then kicked in the door. Barney said White and another man went inside and took a large change jar and jewelry.
Another burglary occurred April 22 on Route 14 in East Calais. The burglars kicked in the front door between 9 and 11 a.m. and took a pillowcase, ammunition and a safe that contained coins, baseball cards, jewelry and $2,500 in cash, police say.
On May 6, a burglary was reported on East Roxbury Road in Roxbury. State police say a pillowcase, change jars and prescription medication were stolen.
Video surveillance captured a burglary May 7 at a home on Graniteville Road in Williamstown, police say. On the video, police say, four people are seen backing into the homes driveway in a white Subaru.
Police say White was seen getting out of the car, taking a package off the front porch and then entering the home by forcing a window open. White then came out the front door with a pillowcase and climbed into the vehicle, which drove away, according to the affidavit. Change, jewelry and electronics were reportedly stolen from the home.
Police say they went to Benways residence May 10 and found the white Subaru in the driveway. Police spoke with Benway and Barcomb, who was also there. Barcomb denied any involvement in the burglaries, but when police searched the Subaru with his consent they found minor pieces of jewelry and packaging with the name and address of a Roxbury residence burglarized May 6, according to the affidavit. Barcomb told police he didnt know why the packaging was in the vehicle.
Barcomb and Benway were taken into custody. White was also taken into custody, but police didnt say how he was located.
Police say Benway admitted she and friends committed many of the burglaries but could not recall all of them. She said they would drive for hours until they found a house to break into. She said there wasnt a specific house they would target, just one where it looked as if no one was home.
In court Thursday, White was ordered held on $7,500 bail on the violating conditions of release charge after police say he was found with two other people around 4:20 a.m. walking on Abbott Avenue in Barre. White is under a 24-hour curfew as a condition of his release in both the Washington and Orange county cases.
According to the police affidavit, White admitted going through two vehicles and taking change. Police say $22.83 in change was found in his pockets.
He is being held at Northeast Regional Correctional Facility in St. Johnsbury.
White also is facing charges in Washington County of felony unlawful trespass into an occupied residence, misdemeanor unlawful trespass and simple assault.
On the felony charge, police say White knocked on the door of a Pearl Street apartment in Barre and pushed his way in. Once inside, police say, he pistol-whipped a man, hitting him in the head, and threatened to kill him if he left the room.
Police say White admitted going to the mans apartment to tell him to leave his mother alone. White has two convictions of simple assault in 2012. Benway has a conviction of retail theft from July. Barney has convictions of disorderly conduct in October and domestic assault in 2011.

Seen and Heard at the European Fine Art Fair: TEFAF Day One
March 16, 2012 | "The museum doesn't have a shopping list but I hope our collectors do," said MFA Boston director Malcolm Rogers, who accompanied a group of American collectors through the European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF) on its opening day, March 15.
"I could be tempted to collect Old Master pictures instead of contemporary art," Whitney Museum of American Art director Adam D. Weinberg confessed to Boston collectors Ted and Barbara Alfond, part of the MFA delegation to the show, organized annually in Maastricht, The Netherlands. TEFAF was founded as a showcase for Old Masters pictures but has grown to encompass 265 exhibitors in a range of specialities, from antiquities to contemporary art.
Wednesday, Netherlands Queen Beatrix made a private tour of the fair, which has pulled out the stops in celebration of its silver jubilee. "Her personal taste runs more to contemporary art but she did admire our Bosschaert the Elder painting of flowers," said the London-based Old Masters dealer Johnny van Haeften. Painted on copper, the work was priced £1.95 million.
Johnny van Haeften, a London based specialist in Dutch and Flemish Old Masters, takes questions from the press.
Show chairman Ben Janssens noted that more than 100 collectors from China, the largest group ever, are expected to visit in 2012. Janssens and other TEFAF representatives travelled to Beijing and Shanghai last fall to court Chinese buyers, who must obtain visas to visit. The Dutch born specialist in Asian art racked up multiple sales in the early hours of the fair. Scrupulous vetting makes TEFAF especially attractive to collectors of Chinese art, a field said to be rife with fakes.
Robert Aronson, the Amsterdam dealer known for his spectacular Delft pottery, nixed rumors that the recent hike in the Dutch Value Added Tax to 19% might prompt TEFAF to move to Brussels. "No one on the executive committee wants that," says Aronson, who is himself an executive committee member.
Robert Aronson of Aronson Antiquairs in Amsterdam featured this pair of circa 1735 Dutch delftware plaques decorated with portraits of Wiliiam IV and Anne, the dutch Prince and Princess of Orange
Strolling oyster shuckers kept hunger at bay among the hundreds of enthusiasts who previewed TEFAF today. More than 70,000 art lovers are expected to visit the show before it closes on March 25 at the massive MECC convention center.

Full-time instructors in Wisconsin's technical colleges took home an average of $90,000 last year in base pay and overages. That was slightly more than the $86,000 in compensation for professors at the 13 University of Wisconsin universities.
A Green Bay Press-Gazette report said one instructor at Fox Valley Technical College nearly doubled his $88,000 salary through overages, or additional classes.
Some argue that allowing professors to accumulate overages saves money by avoiding the need to hire part-time workers. Others say the system limits staff diversity and allows for outsized compensation packages.
The highest-paid professor in the UW System is Randall Wright, who teaches finance at UW-Madison. He made $441,000 last season. Only the school's athletic director, basketball coach, and two departed football coaches made more.

Every family has its black sheep, but some families have a cousin who molests that sheep while threatening the police with a katana. Still, relatives often support their maniac because blood is thick, and people are even thicker. Don't get me wrong -- standing by your family is noble. Defending them when they have clearly molested kids ... maybe not as much?
So it's OK to renounce an irredeemable relative. Life's hard enough without a bad guy ruining your name, and nobody should be held accountable for their relatives' actions. You wouldn't want the FBI arresting you because your mom murdered those gigolos, and I don't want my brother footing the bill for this golf course I'm about to joyride in an ATV. Here are some people who faced up to a painful reality and disclaimed their own blood.
4Lana Peters
Who She Was
This Wisconsin resident was primarily brought up by her nanny and seldom saw her high-ranking father. But if she had, she might have seen him order the deaths of 10 million people.
Born Svetlana Alliluyeva, Peters was the beloved daughter of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, who you can tell was evil because he was foreign. Also, nobody grows a mustache that luxurious without spilling some blood.
We stole this from Russia. Now THAT's Communism!
"Tickle torture" had an entirely different meaning with Papa Joe.
The Relative
Ioseb Besarionis dze Dzhugashvili was born in Georgia, the fourth son of a cobbler and the only one to survive childhood, possibly because when Death approached his crib, he exiled it to Siberia. After his Myers-Briggs test showed that he would grow bored with cobbling's low murder rate, he turned to the seminary, but, like other Sith Lords, abandoned the monastic life for one of crime. Here's everything you need to know about his personality: His style of Marxism was robbery, and his method of robbery was detonating bombs in marketplaces. He was probably also a snitch to the police, because really, what crime is beneath Joseph "Man of Steel" Stalin?
Russia. Just Russia.
Man, he went from brat in a Roald Dahl novel to goddamn cologne model like: boom! Communism.
For a pox-scarred, gimp-armed, four-toed priest, Stalin was quite the murdernaut. At 5 feet 6 inches (or 1.68 meters, if you use that commie metric system), he's proof that short guys spend their free time dreaming of ways to punish the world. Even growing a mustache thicker than an Italian woman's pubes didn't soothe Stalin's ego. He thug-lifed his way to power and erased more people in his lifetime than most nations kill in their entire history. If Joseph Stalin had an action figure, its right hand would have a realistic Death-Warrant-Signing Grip.
The conservative estimate is that Stalin's regime slaughtered 3 million of his own comrades, but possibly as many as 10 million, which is enough blood to paint half of Rhode Island. You can add another 3.5 million if you blame him for the Ukrainian famines. Oh, and all the purges as the Red Army marched west to fight Germany in World War II. Basically, Stalin killed so many people, there is an eight-figure margin of error.
Sure, it's easy to condemn a man just because he's the most ice-blooded monster the world has ever shuddered to behold, but by God, you have to admire anyone who's that good at his job. You do if you believe in God, I mean. You probably don't if you're a communist, or someone who looked at what Stalin did to the communists.
The Renunciation
Even though Stalin had died a decade earlier, Peters was never allowed to officially marry her third husband, Indian Communist Brajesh Singh. When he too died, she traveled to India, found spirituality, and decided to reboot her existence. Like most women who do that, she wrote her memoirs. But hers were better than Elizabeth Gilbert's because there was a bloodthirsty dictator in them.
You had this coming, Columbia Pictures
But the final title was Twenty Letters to a Friend.
The United States welcomed her defection and held a press conference so she could explain how depressing Soviet life was, even for the General Secretary of Murder's daughter. She took the more Anglican name of Lana Peters and got down to capitalizing.
After a fitfully weird U.S. residence, she returned to the Soviet Union, and all of America's political points reverted to Russia. But after two years, Peters came back to the USA -- apparently just to prove that no Iron Curtain could hold the Daughter of Steel.
Later in life, Peters described her dad as a "very simple man. Very rude. Very cruel." She said he loved her, but that "He broke my life," which is something most girls say as teenagers -- usually because they get grounded, but sometimes because Daddy sends their first love to a labor camp.
Here are some Russians who apparently never heard that Stalin killed 10 million of themselves.
Despite being the first person in history to convene a government press conference just to call her dad a dick, strangers associated Peters with her father's sins throughout her life. She died in 2011, having finally found some peace in Wisconsin -- which is more than Packers fans can say.
3William Patrick Stuart-Houston
Who He Was
William Patrick Stuart-Houston was a U.S. Navy pharmacist's mate in World War II who was wounded in service to his country. He had grown up in Liverpool before going to live with his father in Germany, where he worked various jobs for the next decade. Willy returned to England in 1939, because unlike his half-brother, Heinz, Willy didn't want to be a Nazi. He was visiting the U.S. when World War II premiered to huge ratings in Europe and found himself stranded stateside.
After receiving a special dispensation from FDR, the expat was cleared to enlist and fight the Ratzis on America's behalf. The story goes that his draft officer was named Hess, the same as Germany's deputy fuhrer at the time -- which is pretty funny, considering that Willy Hitler was Adolf's nephew.
Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
Ha! You thought this would be about Heinz.
The Relative
What can be said about Adolf Hitler that hasn't been said already? Certainly not that he was a gentle lover. This is a man who had six girlfriends in his life, and four of them took up suicide as a hobby. He probably kept his watch on during sex and blamed his arrhythmic thrusting on her not lying still enough.
Adolf Hitler was the fourth son of Alois Hitler Sr. and Klara Polzl, and the first one to survive past infancy. He pondered the priesthood before -- holy crow, that's exactly what happened to Stalin. Was Hitler's dad a dick, too? Let's ask a Victorian street urchin:
Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
Wine for breakfast and anger for lunch -- that was life in the Hitler household.
The Adventures of Teen Hitler featured the character moving to Vienna, where he excelled at not getting into art school. A spinoff series, Hitler at War, cast the oddball in the Bavarian Army, where he got into comic mishaps like inhaling mustard gas and taking explosives to the groin.
German Fed. Archives: Bundesarchiv, Bild 146-1974-082-44
You know you're a schmuck when dogs try not to be photographed with you.
Hitler spent the years between the wars like your typical demagogue, shrieking about conspiracies and people who looked different. All that changed with the Beer Hall Putsch, in which the cantankerous twerp led 600 Nazi stormtroopers into the Burgerbraukeller -- which sounds like a delicious dinner combo at T.G.I. Fascism's, but was actually a political meeting/drinking ground.
Germany's government at the time was the Weimar Republic, and it was not taking care of business every day -- meaning the trains did not run on time and Germans could not get to work by nine, as noted by German historians Bachman-Turner Ubersteuern. Hitler planned to change all that (especially the trains) by inciting a fascist revolution that would pour into Berlin and overthrow the government, because Jews or something.
At Burgerbraukeller, Hitler took the stage to talk 3,000 scared and angry drunks into supporting his crazypants ideas -- and it worked. If Hitler had had a sense of humor, he would have been the most successful stand-up comedian ever.
Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
Although he still killed the audience.
Despite Hitler's devilish hypnotic powers, the putsch failed and he went to prison for a year. You have to wonder if somewhere in the 1950s there was a German ex-con scoring free drinks after he became known as "That Guy Who Raped Hitler Right Off the Calendar."
Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
Rape is funny when it happens to Hitler.
Hitler went on to have some pretty crazy times, you guys. Like when he imprisoned (and blitzkrieged?) his niece till she committed suicide. Or when he ran for president after doing time for high treason and almost won, because shit-hearted people are everywhere. The rest you pretty much know.
The Renunciation
Around the time Hitler was inventing high-ranking unelected positions for himself, nephew Willy came back to Germany to soak in the reflected glory. Chancellor Hitler got him a couple of nice jobs, but Willy wanted more, and had the audacity to blackmail Uncle Krazy von Powergrab.
That's when Adolf started calling Willy "my loathsome nephew," which translates from Hitler as quite a compliment. The Fuhrer told Willy he could have a great job if he renounced his British citizenship. His nephew responded by upping the blackmail ante and threatening to proclaim the family's Jewish lineage, writing a magazine article called "Why I Hate My Uncle," and then going back to Germany anyway. Jeez, the Nazis goose-stepped because they were trained to, but Willy did it to avoid stepping on his own colossal balls.
This would be a good place to mention that Willy might have been a British secret agent all this time, trying to get closer to Hitler to learn juicy secrets. Or just, as history sometimes paints him, an opportunistic nepotist. Either's fine. If you want to blackmail Hitler, you don't need to explain your motives to me.
Willy lived out his days on Long Island running a blood lab. Heinz Hitler was captured by the Soviets and tortured to death, because Ivan don't play.

Jacob van Ruisdael is considered to be the greatest and most versatile Dutch landscape painter of the seventeenth century. He probably studied painting with his uncle Salomon van Ruysdael, becoming an accomplished landscape painter by the time he was eighteen. The figures were painted by his friend Nicolaes Berchem. Such collaboration between Dutch artists with different specialties was not uncommon.
The emphasis in a Ruisdael landscape is on the natural elements, such as the dramatic topography, sweeping sky and accurately rendered, highly detailed trees. By contrast, the human and animal figures are less significant and were usually added by figure painters.

The house is located in the D.C. neighborhood of Deanwood, which is just 10 miles from the National Mall. By installing the house nearby, the team was able to minimize shipping costs, therefore reducing the house's carbon footprint.
Date taken: 2012-12-04 09:00
Interior design students selected sustainable, affordable furnishings and fittings with an eye toward the character of the neighborhood.
Materials were selected according to a series of criteria including: affordability, green certification, embodied energy, non-toxicity, livability, constructability and overall environmental impact. Meeting these criteria ensures Empowerhouse is an affordable, buildable home, with healthy indoor air quality.
Low-embodied energy materials that are non-toxic and locally sourced were used whenever available & economically feasible.
Date taken: 2012-12-04 09:01
Windows are oriented and installed to take advantage of passive-solar heat gain. The windows are air tight, include thermal breaks, minimize air infiltration and exfiltration, which results in a high R-value. Low-emissivity (low-e) coatings, microscopically thin, transparent layers of metal or metallic oxide deposited on the surface of the glass, further increase the R-value.
The stair loft brings light deep into the center of the home. Interior window trim is splayed to maximize views and daylight; and reduce glare, contrast and the apparent thickness of the walls.
The Empowerhouse team partnered with sponsors, some of which donated energy-efficient appliances towards the construction of both homes.
Date taken: 2012-12-04 10:49
Empowerhouse is the result of a community-based approach to building affordable, ultra-efficient housing that addresses all aspects of domestic life.
Date taken: 2012-12-04 10:36
General artificial lighting is provided by low cost, high efficiency linear fluorescents and LED light sources that reflect off of the vertical and horizontal surfaces of the house, while focused activities are addressed with additional task lighting. These systems complement each other to create a rich and varied living environment.
Date taken: 2012-12-04 13:29
Every aspect of the energy-efficient home is designed to minimize energy consumption, whether they are wireless switches that use less energy to communicate or low-flow fixtures to ensure efficient consumption of water.
Date taken: 2012-12-04 13:32
Materials were selected according to a series of criteria including: affordability, green certification, embodied energy, non-toxicity, livability, constructability and overall environmental impact.
Date taken: 2012-12-04 10:40
A centrally-placed, large window on the upper level of the home maximizes the amount of natural light flow throughout the home.
The house is equipped with a rain garden that collects and filters storm-water from the roof for use in the gardens.
Date taken: 2012-12-04 09:31
The rain garden system minimizes the amount of potable city water used for irrigation, as well as reducing the water that is drained into the public sewer system.
This house empowers the homeowners with the ability to grow their own produce. Planters are designed for growing fruits and vegetables, promoting a healthy diet and saving the family the cost of buying produce.
Date taken: 2012-12-04 09:27
Steven Scribner, the student who served as project manager for Empowerhouse, discusses the goals of the team when building the house.
Members of the local community joined Empowerhouse and its partners in welcoming the families into their new homes.
One of the youngest members of Empowerhouse's families points towards the house before he and his family is taken on their first tour of their new home.
One of the new homeowners, Layika Culley, speaks to the gathering in front of her new home.
One of the new homeowners, Layika Culley, and her family cut the ribbon to her new ultra-efficient home in the historic Deanwood neighborhood.
The exterior envelope is super insulated and composed of 12" deep, engineered wood I-joists sandwiched between two layers of wood sheathing. The cavity is filled with dense pack cellulose insulation achieving an R-Value over 40.
A solar array produces all of the energy to heat and cool the home, power the lighting, and run the hot water heater and electric appliances, eliminating electricity bills for the Deanwood families.

Richard Childress Racing
Recent News
From the Pit Box: Crew chief Danny Stockman
March 20, 2014
Danny Stockman enters his fifth, full-time season with Richard Childress Racing after winning the NASCAR Nationwide Series Championship last season. A new setting this season with a new driver in Ty Dillon, Stockman and his No. 3 Bass Pro Shops/WESCO/Yuengling Light Lager team look to defend its title and give him his third NASCAR championship ring in four seasons.
Stockman, who was born in Fontana, Calif., returns to his home state this weekend with three top-10 finishes, and one pole award thus far, in 2014. Last season at Auto Club Speedway, Stockman's No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro finished fifth, which was one of 13 top-five finishes he collected in 2013. With most of his family still residing in the Fontana area, Stockman is looking forward to making the return to ACS.
What's it like racing in your hometown?
"It's definitely fun going home, we don't get to go out there very often. Being 3500 miles away from the family and all that, it gets tough. We'll go out there for a couple days and then I'll get to stay until Tuesday to catch up with family. My dad grew up there, my grandfather had a machine shop about five minutes from the race track and my brother just had a new baby so I'm really looking forward to seeing him. It's definitely something I look forward to, going to the home turf and seeing all the people that helped me get to where I am today."
Ty tested in Fontana a few weeks ago, did you talk with him on how the test went?
"Yeah definitely. We're going to apply some of the things we tested out there to our car. He had a pretty good test, he learned a lot having never been there. It's really good for him to get out there and get some laps because the place is its own racetrack. It's got its own characteristics, the weather is so nice out there and it's hot all the time, so the asphalt on the track is a lot different from the other race tracks we go to. It's an interesting race as far as a pit strategy, especially with your tires. You definitely have to conserve your tires."
What's the setup like for Auto Club Speedway, comparing it to another track?
"It's actually kind of hard to compare it to another track because it is so different. It's one in its own, for sure."
What's the chemistry been like so far with a new driver behind the wheel?
"Taking the last four years with Austin, I knew him. I could read his facial expressions, I could read his eyes, and we're just having to get to that point with Ty now. We're working really hard on that and I think it's going extremely well. We've had some good cars, some not so good cars. In the race, we've been able to get it close enough to get some decent finishes. But you definitely always want more."
How are you going to spend you off-weekend after this race?
"I don't know. Maybe take my wife somewhere nice or maybe do some Remote Control racing somewhere."

Five Roadrunners land on All-Western Athletic Conference teams on Monday
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Sophomore FS Triston Wade led a group of five UTSA players that earned All-Western Athletic Conference (WAC) honors on Monday.
Wade was the Roadrunners' lone first-teamer. The Tyler native once again showed a knack for finding the football this past season. He tied for the squad lead with four interceptions, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in his 12 starts. The 6-foot, 170-pounder also ranked second with 74 tackles (45 solos) and 11 pass breakups. Wade forced a fumble on a kickoff return and intercepted a pass in the end zone in addition to recording 11 tackles in the season-opening victory at South Alabama and earned WAC Defensive Player of the Week and honorable mention Jim Thorpe Defensive Back of the Week honors following that performance. He wreaked havoc once again with a 38-yard pick-six against Northwestern Oklahoma State. Wade forced another fumble to go along with four tackles and a pair of pass breakups at Georgia State and added a team-leading seven stops and a forced fumble against San Jose State. He posted a game-high 11 tackles and intercepted a pass against Utah State. Wade recovered a fumble against McNeese State as well as the season finale with I-35 rival Texas State and picked off another pass at Idaho. He has had a hand in a total of 13 turnovers (seven fumbles/six INTs) in the first 22 games of his career.
Meanwhile, senior DT Franky Anaya, senior LB Brandon Reeves, junior LB/S Steven Kurfehs and sophomore OG Scott Inskeep all landed on the second team.
Anaya started all 12 games and led UTSA's defensive linemen with 34 tackles, including team-leading six for loss. One of just six seniors on the roster, he also had 2.5 sacks, one interception and a fumble recovery this fall. The 6-foot-2, 280-pounder registered a career-high seven stops against Northwestern Oklahoma State and added six more, two TFLs and a pick against Texas A&M-Commerce.
Reeves finished his final campaign as a Roadrunner with a squad-leading 95 tackles (five double-digit performances) to go along with three TFLs, 1.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and a pair of pass breakups in his 12 starting assignments. He recorded a career-best 13 tackles against McNeese State en route to leading the team in stops for the second consecutive season. The 5-foot-11, 220-pound middle linebacker also had a dozen tackles at South Alabama and he matched that at New Mexico State and Rice. The team captain also registered 11 stops in season finale against I-35 rival Texas State.
Kurfehs had 71 tackles (41 solos) and a team-leading 4.5 sacks in the season's 12 contests. After starting the first four games of the season at safety ("dawg"), he moved back to linebacker in the WAC opener at New Mexico State and responded with seven stops and 1.5 sacks. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder added nine more tackles at Rice and four and a 50-yard fumble recovery for a score the following week against San Jose State. The team captain racked up seven stops, a half sack and two QB hurries against Utah State and finished the campaign with seven tackles and a sack against Texas State.
Inskeep played in all 12 games (11 starts) and graded out at 79 percent this fall in addition to recording 28 knockdown blocks, including a career-high 10 in the season finale against Texas State. The 6-foot-4, 300-pounder was an integral part of an offensive line that surrendered just seven sacks in 368 pass attempts this past season (t-3rd FBS). In fact, the unit did not allow a sack in the team's first 152 passes of the season. The Roadrunners averaged 390.2 yards (159.2 rush/231.0 pass) and 31:45 of possession time per game.
UTSA finished its second season of play with an 8-4 overall record and 3-3 mark in its lone season in the WAC. The Roadrunners will play as a member of Conference USA next season.

From the Office of State Senator Troy Fraser
For Immediate ReleaseFebruary 08, 2013Contact: Janice McCoy (512) 463-0124
Fraser Files Legislation to Require LCRA Audit
Senator Troy Fraser (R-Horseshoe Bay) filed legislation on Friday to require the Texas State Auditor to conduct a comprehensive financial-related audit of the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA). The review must include an audit of their operations and performance and be completed by January 1, 2015.
"Since being elected to Senate District 24 in 1996, I have constantly battled with the LCRA on how they conduct business," Fraser stated. "Asking the State Auditor to do a thorough review of LCRA's finances and operations would benefit all the customers in the basin."
Currently, under the Water Code, the State Auditor may perform audits of financial transactions of any district. Senate Bill 448 clarifies that a special water authority also could be audited. It would require a district to reimburse the State Auditor's Office for the cost of performing the audit.
"An independent review of the LCRA's performance is good for them and for the state," continued Fraser. "We need to make sure the people we have managing the LCRA have all the information they need to make the best choices for both water and electric customers."

I agree that the z-bo and curry combo is not good thats why on page 1 I said to start malik Rose over z-bo, this way curry could go to work just like he did vs the spurs
PS: Like i said before David Lee is not affective as a starter
And Malik Rose is effective? You must really like losing. Curry played good against the Spurs because Zach Randolph didnt play and thats the only reason why. This in the only thing that can motivate Curry, he wanted to prove that he can at least play good without the Black Hole next to him. If only he had this same motivation all the time.
You sayin Lee is not affective as a starter means nothin to me, I dont even take that seriously. He might not have the size of Curry or the skill of Zach, but hes a team player and is much more compatible with the rest of the players on this team then both of the twinkies will ever be. Lee needs to be in that starting lineup, there is no question about this and Im sure a poll would prove my point.

November 22, 2011 —
It seems that Sullivan County is quickly becoming the preferred location in which to open a marijuana grow-house operation. Four of them have been shut down by authorities this year alone.
Most recently on November 16, Sullivan County Sherriff's deputies and agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency executed a search warrant on Horton Road in Bloomingburg. They found what they called a "sophisticated marijuana growing operation in the basement."
David Lieberson, 29, was arrested and charged with criminal possession of marijuana.
Sherriff Mike Schiff said, "Unlike other grow operations that we have taken down, this suspect used an electronic carbon dioxide generator instead of cylinders of the gas." Schiff said carbon dioxide is frequently used to increase the yield of marijuana plants. Also, the operation included grow lights and a humidity control system.
Officers confiscated 60 pounds of what they called a highly potent marijuana variety known as "sour diesel," which sells on the street for $4,000 to $6,000 a pound.
Sheriff's deputies were tipped off to the activity by a Town of Mount Hope police officer, who went to the residence to serve a warrant on an occupant for driving with a suspended license. "No one was home at the time, but the odor of marijuana was so strong that the officer could smell it as soon as he stepped on the porch," Schiff said.
Three other grow-house operations were shut down earlier this year. In late October, state police arrested Brent Davis, 45, of Rock Hill, and Louis Raible, 50, of Englewood, NJ for operating a grow house in Renner Road in Rock Hill.
According to authorities, the growing operation consisted of hydroponic growing beds, sophisticated high-powered lighting, heating and cooling equipment. The operation had a growing potential of over 200 high-grade marijuana plants with a street value of $3,000 per pound every three months.
In September, Phillip Tebbetts, 41, of Youngsville was arrested after police were called to investigate a disturbance on C. Speilman Road. Upon arrival, troopers detected a strong odor of marijuana, and once inside the residence they found an elaborate indoor marijuana grow operation with numerous marijuana plants in various growing stages.
In March, 16 people were arrested in a marijuana growing operation that involved six different houses, most of them in or near the town of Mamakating. The DEA released a statement at the time, which said, "This takedown has weeded over 6,000 pounds of marijuana, worth nearly $20 million dollars, off the streets of not only New York, but cities throughout the Northeast. This seizure, the largest indoor marijuana grow operation of its kind in New York, exemplifies the sophistication with which these groups operate. Marijuana remains a significant source of illegal income for drug trafficking groups in the New York."

- Aktphänomenologie —act-phenomenology, phenomenology of act (Moritz Alfred Geiger).
- Alltag —the everyday. Eugen Fink's expression.

The state is hoping to streamline the permitting process to avoid problems at Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island.
Last month, the state revoked the license of Hawaii Pack & Paddle for operating outside the area allowed in its permit.
The investigation into the company's operations came after 16-year-old Tyler Madoff was swept out to sea following a July 4 group kayak tour. His body has never been found.
The state has informed companies who currently have permits to conduct tours at Kealakekua Bay that they will likely not be renewed. The Department of Land and Natural Resources says it simply does not have the resources to properly monitor the area.
Currently, the Boating Division handles issues on the water in the area, while Parks and Recreation handles land issues.
The new streamlined process would move all permitting responsibilities for Kealakekua Bay to the Parks and Recreation Division.

Rally set for today
STEUBENVILLE – A second protest rally tied to the alleged rape of an underage girl is set for noon today at the Jefferson County Courthouse.
The rally, co-organized by the Internet hacktivist group Anonymous, would be the second rally on the courthouse steps in the past two weeks. While the first rally Dec. 29 drew between 300 and 400 people, nearly 1,400 individuals have committed to attending today's rally on a Facebook invite page.
Trent Mays, 16, of Bloomingdale and Malik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville, Steubenville High School student-athletes, have been charged with the alleged crime, and their trial is set to begin Feb. 13 before visiting Judge Tom Lipps.
The protests are connected to the trial, as Anonymous and other individuals and groups assert there's been a cover-up by local officials surrounding the trial and that other individuals should be charged in connection with an alleged rape that reportedly occurred Aug. 11-12. Anonymous has leaked photos, videos and tweets of some the individuals they assert were involved with the alleged incident, which has led to an outcry on Facebook, Twitter and other social sites.
Cable news network CNN reported on the case Thursday morning, and it was discussed during a 20-minute segment on "Anderson-Cooper 360" Thursday evening, while the New York Times had published two separate articles on the alleged rape and the response by members of the community. The webzine Huffington Post also picked up on the story Wednesday evening, as have numerous blog sites.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer picked the story as one of its Top 10 in Ohio for 2012. A private website dedicated to the case, www.occupysteubenville.com, includes links with messages from Anonymous, media reports on the case, blogs, interviews with local authorities and even has apparel for sale. Also, a petition on the White House's website demanding additional individuals be arrested in the case had gathered more than 5,000 signatures as of this morning – an increase of more than 2,000 signatures since Thursday.
In a Friday interview, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said said the case is being handled by outside prosecutors and a visiting judge. He also said the attorney general's office has been working in tandem with the Steubenville Police Department on the case, and the objective of state prosecutors was "to find the truth." DeWine also said prosecutors on the case were unbiased and not from the local area.
A Facebook invitation page had been established for another rally, "Stand Up for Steubenville Youth," that had been scheduled for 1 p.m. today at Jim Woods Park. Officials announced Frirday afternoon that that rally had been canceled.

The English language should have a word for that feeling when you simultaneously admire a person and are also completely baffled by them. That's how we feel about all of the people below. Each one did things that required extreme amounts of dedication and perseverance -- qualities that would probably let these people rule the world, if only they devoted them to something that wasn't utterly insane.
6 Kirby Roy Practices Getting Kicked in the Nuts (a Lot)
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
There are two facts that will forever remain a constant in our universe. The first is that if you're a male, at some point in your life you WILL get kicked in the balls. And second, you would sell your own grandmother to a traveling circus to avoid being kicked there again.
Jupiterimages/BananaStock/Getty Images & Photos.com
"Sorry, Gamgam, but it's for the greater good ..."
We therefore must assume that martial arts instructor Kirby Roy loves his grandma a little too much, because in a world record that no sane person would want to challenge, he has withstood a 22 mph kick to the nuts from MMA fighter Justice Smith, a force so strong that it can literally fracture the pelvis (and we assume turn testicles into liquid). Warning -- no one should watch the following video:
Wait, it gets worse! See, nobody wakes up one morning and suddenly decides to partake in such an extreme act of masochism, and Kirby Roy didn't, either. No, this man has spent the better part of his life training his bags of joy to withstand such punishment. And you can only do that via repetition.
Under the tutelage of juko-ryu kijutsu practitioner Dr. Rod Sacharnoski, Roy has spent several decades learning various techniques in order to withstand strikes to the throat, temple, legs, and, most importantly, testicles, without showing signs of pain. The process, as you can imagine, is simultaneously simple and unfathomable. One must start by "lightly tapping their testicles with a paddle" before slowly, over the course of a year, increasing the force until they can withstand a full whack without weeping uncontrollably. It's only when this is achieved that students like Roy can begin to receive actual strikes from their fellow peers, and take part in crazy record attempts with it.
"This is just a ploy to get us all to touch your balls, isn't it?"
Here's the thing ... we understand wanting to condition yourself a little bit to not be such a wuss. But receiving a kick to the balls is something that all men universally understand to be 100 percent exempt from all external demonstrations of toughness and bravery. It's OK if you break down sobbing and curl up into the fetal position, and no one on planet Earth would think any less of you. And even if they did, is it something that comes up so often that you need to devote decades of your life to developing leathery, impact-proof nuts? If so, you may have other problems in your life that should be addressed first.
5 Kenichi Ito Spends His Life Perfecting Running on All Fours
Polka Dot Images/Polka Dot/Getty Images
As you can see, what fascinates us about these feats are the weird superhero-type origin stories that lay behind them. Which brings us to Kenichi Ito, the man who, through years of practice, mastered the art of running really fast on all fours.
Reuters/Kim Kyung-Hoon
How is he not constantly running into things?
If this doesn't look grueling to you, go ahead and get up and walk around on all fours for a moment. No cheating by getting on your knees, either -- all fours, with feet and palms planted on the ground. Now imagine doing that for an hour. Now eight. Now about a thousand. Now just walk like that everywhere, all the time. See how long you can do it before your spine rejects your body and leaps out of your back, running away, shrieking.
It all started when, as a child, Ito picked up the unfortunate nickname "monkey." Hey, it happens. What typically doesn't happen is for the person to so totally embrace it the way this guy does. A true fan of all things simian, young Mr. Ito decided to spend a freaking decade of his life practicing to walk like a monkey, down on all fours, with his butt unceremoniously pointed heavenward. Or as he explains it:
"I really liked [monkeys], and somewhere inside of me I had this ambition to adopt one of their traits. When I saw a monkey that could run fast, I knew I'd found it -- and from that point on I practiced running like a monkey every day."
AP Photo/Koji Sasahara
"I originally wanted to adopt the poop flinging, but lacked the arm and accuracy."
Call him crazy, but you have to admire his dedication -- this guy got so adept at this style of locomotion that he's even started setting Guinness World Records for racing on all fours, clocking a 100-meter dash in less than 18 seconds -- probably faster than what most of us could do on two legs.
Koji Sasahara/Associated Press
Although we'll gladly give up that ability for having to have that haircut.
Not everyone around him was so understanding, unfortunately. The locals harassed Ito so much that he had to scamper up to the mountains for a month-long "training camp" just so he could practice his art in peace without the taunts of bystanders insisting that he was making a mockery of evolution. His plans were somewhat derailed, however, when a huntsman mistook him for a wild boar and tried to shoot him. We're not making a joke. That actually happened.

After roughly 20 years of trying to make the MiniDisc format popular, Sony reportedly announced that due to minimal demand it would stop producing Walkman players with MiniDisc support this September. Still, the company is set to continue making the MD media itself.
Sony finally pulled the plug on its Walkman cassette players in 2010 and this year it would stop producing Walkman devices featuring the MD format, according to a report from Nikkei. The actual products will be available in stores till the stocks are depleted. Given the low popularity of the MiniDisc nowadays, it is hard to predict when the players will actually become completely unavailable. Sony will keep making MDs and will also keep producing Walkman players with CD and MP3 support.
MiniDisc is an optical disc format introduced by Sony in 1992. The MD is based on an optical disc located inside cartridge that is similar to 3.5" diskette. Each MiniDisc can hold up to 80 minutes of audio or roughly 650MB of data. MDs are only compatible with appropriate equipment.
Sony's MiniDisc format has never really taken off even though it provided a number of advantages compared to cassette and CD standards. At first, it was more expensive than cassette players and its advantages over CD players were not so obvious. Eventually, cassette players shrank in size and became more compact than MD players while remaining more affordable. In the early 2000s MP3 players started to gain popularity and the advantages of MD might have over CD or cassette either disappeared or became even more ephemeral. The lack of interest towards MiniDiscs in the recent years is completely logical.
As of March, 2011, approximately 22 million of MiniDisc devices had been sold.

Here it is, the middle of summer, and you're thinking that your gardening season is almost over. Think again. You can put plants in up until August and enjoy delicious vegetables after the first frost. Even longer, if you never have frost. Here are some ideas for your late-season gardening.
Spinach, a collards, and broccoli can grow late into the season. They can even stand a nip or two of frost. Spinach can even over-winter. Harvest the others before a hard frost, though.
Lettuce can take the cold. Enjoy fresh salads by harvesting a leaf or two as needed. That way, your lettuce can keep on producing. Otherwise, just lop off the head before the first frost.
Turnips are commonly eaten in Newfoundland because the can take the terrible winters there. If they're hardy enough for Newfoundland, surviving your garden's cold spells should be a cakewalk for them. Rutabagas actually become sweeter after a few light frosts. Plant them in early August and enjoy them before the first hard frost. Plant Jerusalem artichokes in the spring, then dig up the tubers after the first frost. You can loosen the soil and mulch the area to have easy access to more tubers all winter long.
Buy some fresh garlic at the store, then plant the cloves in rich soil when the weather starts to cool. They'll continue to grow over the winter and will be ready for you to harvest in early spring.
The following vegetables have different planting times, but they all can grow well into the fall.

Portales Police Department officers were called to a report of shots fired shortly before 5 p.m. Friday at the Milk Transport Services yard on Industrial Drive in Portales.
According to Portales Police Capt. Lonnie Berry, two people were arrested and a weapon was recovered in an altercation at the site.
Berry said police had towed a vehicle to the police station and were still in the process of searching the vehicle after obtaining a search warrant as of 8:30 p.m. Friday.
Berry did not release the names of the two people arrested, pending the outcome of the search, and said no charges had been filed at that time.
Reports indicated shots were fired in the altercation but no one was injured by a bullet, according to Berry, who said there were some minor injuries involved.

In high school I worked delivering flowers, so I'm speaking from experience. Nothing is a guaranteed panty-melter like roses delivered to a woman at work.

To be precise with your question: I'd rather have flowers. Peonies or hydrangeas, or beautiful roses, in that order. Not a big sweet eater, but chocolate covered ginger is my fave from way back, and I will always enjoy that. So flowers and chocolate covered ginger. If you haven't had it, you're missing out. Need to try it.

Video: Family Of Man Who Vanished In River Continues Search
The father and uncle of John Villafranco walked the edge of the Black River again Saturday, searching for any trace of the man who vanished into the waters of the river when his canoe overturned.
John Villafranco and his wife, Lydia, were on the Black River near Eastern Boulevard in Watertown early on the evening of April 21. The canoe flipped over; three soldiers were able to save Lydia, but John vanished.
"It's been tough, very tough," said Gilbert Villafranco, John's father, Saturday. He said he's been
"walking the river, all the way to Glen Park."
Villafranco and his family are from San Antonio, Texas, and family members have traveled north to help search.
"It's been a very sad experience for the entire family," said Richard, an uncle.
That said, the family holds out a small hope that somehow John is still alive.
"Miracles do happen, and we believe in them," Gilbert said.
The family asks anyone who can help search, or who might have information, to call Gilbert at 210-508-7349.
