Stacey Fujii lashed out today with a message for the hunters whose dogs killed her family's cat.
"Take responsibility. I have no problem with you killing pigs, but be responsible for your weapons that you have which are your dogs," Fujii said.
Neighbors said the attack happened around 8 am Saturday.
Two hunting dogs strayed into the front yard of a home across from Kuliouou park and mauled Fujii's cat to death.
Fujii said when the hunters spotted their dogs, they gathered them up and took off.
"All they saw was the blood on their dogs. They got them in the car and dug out. They didn't know if a kid had been killed. They didn't care. That's what really makes me angry," Fujii said.
The cat, who they call "Sweetie," had been sleeping under a car in the neigbor's yard. The family is heartbroken and horrified.
"It was traumatic, so violent. His whole face was taken off. They took his eye. They bit his butt. He had no chance at all. They kept going, and going, and did not stop," said Fujii.
Fujii said the park is used by families with young children who might never think that they would encounter hunting dogs so far down in the residential area.
The park is a half a mile from the Kuliouou Valley trail head.
The area is a designated hunting area and even today hikers said they saw dogs up on the trail.
One large hiking group said they did not see any hunters around and the dogs did not give them trouble.
But others worry about the chance encounters with dogs on the trail.
"You have to stand your ground, but at the same time you don't know if they are going to attack .They are bred to kill. They are animals. And a lot of people bring their pet dogs here too," said Gary Kitahara.
But this time it was in a residential park where the threat was real and deadly; not far enough away for the Fujii's pet and the family wants everyone to know what happened.
The Hawaiian Humane Society is investigating the case.
It is asking anyone who may have taken the license plate of an older model grey Toyota truck with hunting cage in the valley Saturday morning to call the information into their hotline at 356-2250.
On Tuesday, the Honolulu City Council will address the issue of loose hunting dogs.
Councilmember Ann Kobayashi has introduced a resolution calling for stricter enforcement of regulations on pig hunters.
The measure askes the Department of Land and Natural Resources for improved enforcement in light of the recent attacks on livestock and domestic pets.
"It could have been a lot worse. and we dont want it to be. That is frightening that it happened near a park where children could have been hurt and a real disaster could have occured," said Kobayashi.

The fact that everyone has written off the state of New Mexico as a blue state infuriates me.
By doing this, they are telling New Mexicans their vote is unimportant because the outcome has already been decided.
I am afraid many people will feel it is useless to go to the polls.
I don't believe our state has to go down without a fight. If we could generate a heavy voter turnout on the east side and rural areas of New Mexico we could counteract the liberal votes of our largest cities.
We don't have to lay down and die politically. If you care about the future of your children and grandchildren, get out and vote.
Shirley Terrill
ENMU, CCC have positive impact
As five members of our family have received undergraduate and master's degrees from Eastern New Mexico University and three of them attended Clovis Community College, we are naturally loyal boosters of both institutions.
Their contributions to our careers as well as thousands of graduates of both institutions are beyond evaluation.
The positive impact on our community by Eastern New Mexico University and Clovis Community College is considerable and hopefully we can show the rest of New Mexico that we enthusiastically support our colleges on this side of the state.
I want to encourage a yes vote on Bond C in the general election, Nov. 6.

- Title
- Anisotropic properties of ultrafast laser-driven microexplosions in lithium niobate crystal
- Author(s)
- Zhou, Guangyong; Gu, Min
- Abstract
- Smooth voids are achieved in an anisotropic Fe:LiNbO3 crystal with a high refractive index by use of a femtosecond laser-driven microexplosion method. Due to the anisotropy of the crystal, the maximum fabrication depth and the fabrication power threshold are different in different crystal directions, indicating that the direction perpendicular to the crystal axis is more suitable for thick three-dimensional structure fabrication. The dependence of the threshold power on the illumination wavelength shows that the microexplosion mechanism is caused by a two-photon absorption process. As a result, a near threshold fabrication method can be used to generate quasispherical voids.

Cole Hamels has been suspended 5 games by Major League Baseball. The punishment was handed down minutes ago by the league. Hamels will begin the suspension tonight.
Throwing my two cents in, this is an overreaction by MLB. It was taken care of on the field after Jordan Zimmermann hit Hamels. But the suspension stems, obviously, from Hamels telling the media he did is purposely. Still, a fine would have been a fantastic way of ending this once and for all.
Either way, Hamels will basically miss no time. His start will likely be pushed back to Sunday, as the Phillies could try to give Roy Halladay a day of rest and pitch him on Saturday.
So, not much lost here. If anything, it gives Hamels another day of rest and mixes the rotation up a bit.

worth every suspended game. I hope the kid gets plunked again the next time we see him. little cry baby fartsucker
Kind of a ridiculous suspension if I'm being honest. I understand that he probably shouldn't have said that he intentionally threw at him…but OJ probably shouldn't have wrote a detailed account of how he "hypothetically" killed his wife. But I digress. A fine at most. And considering where Zimmerman hit Hamels in retaliation…a golden crown for not taking it another step further.
I lean toward a different view. Control artist that Hamels, or any great pitcher is, there's an element of danger in any player being hit by a pitched ball. My first reaction was it was braindead of Cole to admit it, but the real braindead part of the scenario is a 5 game suspension, making it easy to conveniently plan what start you'll miss based on when to appeal, or in Cole's case, now just delaying the start. It's easy to say the suspension is an overreaction since we know Harper wasn't hurt. Poor control with malicious intentions easily could have had a different result. The answer lies in a more serious suspension at the discretion of the umpire, though you could easily criticize that idea. And I know this has a hypocritical tone to it, but I'm kinda okay with brushback pitches. I just think the 5 game suspension concept is a complete farce.
That's five unpaid games, so its not just a farce
I'll assume I needn't provide the details on how meaningless 5 games pay is to many a major leaguer.
You are certifiably bananas if you think giving umpires the discretion to suspend players is a good idea.
that's what I said, but I meant to suggest input into the decision, he added fruitfully.
Hamels was stupid to admit throwing at Harper. But if you want to take the high road and suspend him, then you need to suspend Zimmerman as well. Or is the message that you can't throw at young phenoms like Bryce Harper, but A-OK to throw at others.
I hope Zimmerman gets suspended as well for Plunking Hamels.
Zimmerman get's a pass cause he never said he did it intentionally.
So what MLB is saying is that if you hit someone and you lie and say you did not do it on purpose then you get nothing. If you hit someone and are honest then five games. Next time Selig complains that a player lied to him I want him to remember this.
Yeah, basically. They're taking a page out of the NHL's player discipline book. (It's an ad lib paperback)
He deserved to miss his next scheduled start. Yeah, a fine seems more reasonable, but maybe Cole will shut up next time. At least Bryce wasn't injured.
Harper is an overrated "chickenshit". I'm glad Cole did what he did. TEAM COLE!
RAJ's reaction today was somewhat puzzling. It doesn't seem like he's on the same page as Cole.
He looked downright pissed in the clip I saw of him. Let's be real, this is a double edged sword. Cole just did more for the Nationals' marketing department than they do, and this will in turn just inspire even more fans to go to DC next round. It's a win.
That's just what I want to see…the GM and the star, free agent-to be pitcher getting into disagreements over some stupid bullshit like this.
I hope aliens abduct Amaro and do nasty things to his butthole.
Had to stir up the rivalry somehow, Hamels just lit the fuse
The wuss is gonna get a beatin' next time gonna git rolled.
The wuss is gonna get a beatin' next time Cole gonna git rolled.
Pence made a comment that the entire Nats team had a bad attitude and a chip on their shoulder. Maybe there was more going on than we are aware of in the clubhouse. This young kid Harper has shown his cocky attitude in the past. Now the Nats are trying to paint him as the picture of a saint, like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. How much could he have matured since last season? I sure his is still a bit of a sh*t.
OOPs….I am sure he is still a bit of a sh*t!!!
Complete BS. The whole thing. And my take on Ruben's statement and "appearance" of looking pissed…is just that. It's a canned statement that he had to make and appearance that he had to show in order to make it look like the Phillies are the good guys here and are taking a professional stance and are on top of it. In reality, I think Ruben probably told Cole that he has his back as afar as the team is concerned. Ruben was a player and grew up in this game…..he gets it.
I have learn some excellent stuff here. Definitely value bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how so much attempt you put to create this kind of wonderful informative site.

Tim Leary, Richard Santillan, SABR, Christy Mathewson, Baseball Reliquary
I love going to baseball events during the offseason! Last Saturday I went to the SABR meeting. Richard Santillan was there to show us the documentary on "Mexican American Baseball in California. I was running a little late to the meeting so I walked in while the film was in progress. I had gone to Olvera Street night before for Dia de Los Muertos so I got up a little late.
Richard was promoting his two books that he co-wrote "Baseball American Baseball in Los Angeles" and "Baseball American Baseball in the Inland Empire." The next book "Mexican American Baseball in Orange County" is due to come out March 2013. I love the books! and like Richard and Terry Cannon say "It is a community project."
The next guest was Tim Leary! We had been asked to take baseball artifacts and Barry and others showed some real original ones. I like the 1900 baseball cards
and the poster titled "World Championship Series" of the second game series played at the Polo Grounds.
Tim Leary brought his 1988 Silver Slugger award!
He also brought his 1988 World Series ring!
I really enjoyed listening to Tim Leary. He is a very knowledgeable baseball person. The Dodgers should have him as one of the instructors at the next Winter workouts at Dodger Stadium to talk to the future Dodgers. Leary works part-time for the Dodgers as part of the community speakers but the Dodgers should be fully utilizing his skills.
I am glad to be a member of SABR giving me the opportunity to be among SABR members that blow me away with their knowledge and to attend events where we get speakers like Tim Leary, giving us a chance to hear the person speak and ask questions. I prefer this more personal meeting than a crowded autograph signing where you are rushed thru the line.
Eddie Frierson in "Matty" An Eveving with Christy Mathewson
I am glad also that SABR member Rick told me about the play "Matty" an evening with Christy Mathewson. It was playing at the Fremont Centre Theatre. I went to see it Monday night. I loved it! Eddie Frierson plays Matty. National Public Radio called it "One of the year's ten best plays!' the Fremont Centre is a cute little cozy theatre that says it sits 50.
Next event: "Not Exactly Cooperstown"
Friday November 9 at 7:00 p.m. at South Pasadena Library for the screening of "Not Exactly Cooperstown" by filmaker Jon Leonoudakis.
I have seen the screening but I am going back! This program is presented by the South Pasadena Public Library, the Friends of the South Pasadena Library and the Baseball Reliquary. Audience members are asked to "dress Baseball" and a trivia contest with prizes will start the event. The Community Room is located at 1115 El Centro Street. It is just around the corner of the Fremont Centre Theatre.

Looks like fun..I always liked that Tim Leary had the same name as the Harvard LSD professor…I still hate the Dodgers!! I love that the Giants have more World Series titles!! And I love the movie Not Exactly Cooperstown!! Great movie!!
We have some things in common…except I hate that the Giants have another World Series Title. I hope the Giants don't have their celebration while the Dodgers are in town.
You are right! Going to SABR meetings is a great way to meet players up close. plus you don't have to pay the fees to get an autograph or picture. I recomend SABR to all baseball fans.
How FUN! Tim Leary was actually a teammate of mine at UCLA and was a huge help while he was playing for the Dodgers and I was developing my show, MATTY: AN EVENING WITH CHRISTY MATHEWSON. I would have loved to have come when he was at your meeting and EVERYONE could have come to my show at the Fremont … he was part of a big promo at a production I did in 1988 at the Santa Monica Playhouse long before I took the show to New York — he came again in 1995 and brought Yankess PR Director Annette Guardabascio. From that performance in Los Angeles, Annette and the Yankees (BECAUSE of Tim — such a grand guy) were behind the run all the way while we were in Times Square and taking the theatre world by storm in 1996. Tim was a huge part of MATTY's success and I continue to perform whenever and wherever anyone asks. It's that much fun to introduce folks to Christy Mathewson.
Fun fact: I performed for the Baseball Reliquary years ago … and would be thrilled to do so again.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The leading Democratic candidates in the race to take on Republican Gov. Scott Walker in a recall election next month are making their final campaign stops before Tuesday's primary.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett planned stops Monday in Sheboygan and Kenosha. A Marquette University poll released last week showed him with a 17-point lead over Kathleen Falk, the former Dane County executive who is the favored candidate of the major unions that helped spur the recall against Walker.
Falk planned to spend the final day before the primary campaigning in Milwaukee.
Two other Democrats running are Secretary of State Doug La Follette and state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout. They have failed to gain traction in the race.
The winner will move on to the June 5 general election.

Faster Design Closure with PrimeTime AOCV
An accepted trend in the semiconductor industry, where process geometry is continuously shrinking, is the growing impact of variation in static timing analysis (STA). As on-chip variation (OCV) effects continue to increase with shrinking geometry nodes, applying a flat global margin across the entire chip can lead to overdesign, reduced design performance, and longer timing closure cycles. The PrimeTime Advanced OCV solution is a sophisticated technology that takes advantage of improved device-level variation modeling techniques to provide the right balance between accuracy and performance.
PrimeTime Advanced OCV, is a mature and proven technology in Static Timing Analysis to address the variation challenges in designs at 65nm or below process nodes.

easily al harrington
Al Harrington
Nate Robinson
Cuttino Mobley
Tim Thomas
Quentin Richardson
Chris Duhon
Personally, I think Al Harrington is going to lead the Knicks in scoring. Harrington averaged 17 points per game, in the 2004-2005 season and 18 points per game, in the 2005-2006 season.
I think Wilson Chandler will be the second leading scorer, and Tim Thomas will be the 3rd leading scorer.
What do you guys think?
I forgot to put Wilson Chandler on the poll. Sorry about that.
easily al harrington
I think it will be Nate Robinson. He's probably our best shooter, or one of our best, and now that Jamal is gone he should get some more minutes.
I'd have to think it'd be Al Harrington but I wouldn't be shocked if Wilson Chandler starts to really progress now...either way I think whoever leads the Knicks in scoring won't lead it by much, prob. a couple guys in the 17-19 ppg range, and a good amount in the 10-16 ppg range...
probably harington bc he's gonna pretty much be zach randolph minus the boards. he's really the biggest guy they got down low now besides lee. im not really firmiliar with his game but I'm pretty sure he can hit the perimeter jumper. so he's probably gonna lead the team with chandler as a close second.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
If Nate gets to play crawford's minutes i think he s gonna be our leading scorer. If he's gonna come off the bench then i think it will be Harrington.
Nate average the last 2 games are very solid.
41mpg, 23ppg, 8rpg(wtf..lol), 5apg
You know what... I see a more balanced attack. I don't see a clear cut scoring leader, but I imagine on any given night it will be some one who drops 20+. Were going to have starters who get anywhere between 6 and 26 on any given night and not because of a streak shooting, but because of how our matchups work out. Nate will lead us in scoring off the bench sometimes and occasionally I think Tim Thomas will be one of our leading scorers. It's going to be interesting to see how our points are distributed. But if I had to to choose I guess I would say Al Harrington, I think Wilson will hit a bit of a wall this season since technically it's his rookie season, so I think that could hurt his overall average.
Great Thread ABCD!
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
there are 3 guys that stand out when it comes to who'll lead us in scoring
1. Nate Robinson-he's our best shooter and could creat his own shot and is strong around the basket for his height and size he's averaging 15.3 a game that'll go up cause he'll get more playing time and have a bigger role in the offense Nate wil finish around 17
2. Wilson Chandler-he's my pick because he could score in many different ways he could post up or step out for the long jumper and his strenght will mean lots of and-1's....and with the trades he'll have a even bigger rle in the offense as we've seen the last 2 games....he'll puch his scoring average to 17 easy(him and Nate will be neck-and-neck)
3. Harrington- he has a good 3 point shot and has great insticts on offense and he wants to play in this system for this coach...he is a great scorer in the league and will improve his 12 points average to about 16 with huge minutes and offense opprotunities.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
This is a real opportunity for Wilson.
Its obviously Wilson Chandler.

By attorney Keith Morris, Special to THELAW.TV
When someone is critically injured or falls victim to a sudden illness, there are often difficult decisions for loved ones to make in regard to finances and medical care for the incapacitated person.
Having such legal documents in place is important no matter what your age and health status. Accidents and illness can strike at any time, and you don't want to be caught unprepared. Even if you've discussed such scenarios with loved ones and made your wishes known, it still may be difficult for them to make the decisions you'd like them to.
Advanced directives are a legal tool you can use to help relieve that burden for your loved ones if such a tragedy does occur, and everyone over the age of 18 should take this precaution.
What is an advanced directive?
There are several types of advanced directives. Medical directives offer written instructions concerning medical decisions made on your behalf, should you be unable to speak for yourself.
These instructions can outline what type of care you are comfortable with, including what measures should be used to sustain your life. Having such a document in place allows you to exercise your rights in your own medical care, even when you are not able to personally make those wishes clear.
In the event that you become incapacitated through injury or illness, these instructions are given to the person who you have designated to be a decision-maker. That person is charged with the task of making sure your wishes are followed.
Powers of attorney are another advanced directive you should strongly consider. This is a document that designates an agent to make non-medical decisions on your behalf, such as financial transactions, paying bills, applying for Social Security, etc.
When having your power of attorney document drafted, you can describe precisely which responsibilities you are comfortable having your agent take on for you. These responsibilities can be as narrow or as wide reaching as you would like. Having such a document will save your loved ones the frustration and expense of legal action that might be necessary to take care of these responsibilities when you are incapacitated.
There are several different types of powers of attorney documents. A durable power of attorney remains in effect indefinitely unless a termination date is included. A general power of attorney will give broad powers of all areas, but can be narrowed to a specific area of of control. Another type is a special power of attorney, which can be used when you want your agent to have only very specific power. An estate planning or elder law attorney can help you decided which is best in your situation.
Choosing the right person
An attorney can draw up the legal documents for advanced directives, as well as offer advice on choosing the right agent to act on your behalf.
Using the services of an elder law or estate planning attorney can help ensure that the documents are legally binding. You can also get advice on what information to include, and ensure that certain scenarios are addressed.
When choosing an agent, it is highly advisable that you choose someone other than family. In certain situations, your loved ones may find it too difficult to follow your wishes as you've stated them. Designating an objective party to act as your agent can be a relief for your family in these situations.
You'll want to choose someone who is mature and reasonable. Your agent should be able to have candid conversations with your health care providers without becoming too emotional to make the decisions you request of them.
The author, Keith Morris, is a Texas elder law attorney and co-founder of Jones Morris Klevenhagen, L.L.P. He works with clients through all stages of Texas estate planning and probate.

A Wild and Woolly Game
- 13-11 Rockies
Man, there has got to be something in the air when the Padres and the Rockies played. I mentioned a couple of the weird things that have happened in the past between these two teams like Game 163 and the 22-inning game in my post eariler. Today's game was almost like we were playing in Coors Field!
It all started in the beginning of the game, really. Kevin Correia started for the Padres and did very well. But he allowed a two-run homer to Yorvit Torrealba in the first inning to get the scoring going. Correia pitched three innings, and besides the homer, threw very well. The next pitcher was Wade LeBlanc. LeBlanc has done really well in his first innings of work, but once he hits that second inning, he essentially falls apart. Same thing happened today. His first inning was really sharp, 1-2-3. But his second was really bad. He gave up THREE runs. Three of them! It was a nasty inning. The next victim, er, pitcher was Chad Reineke. Reineke was average last year when he was with the Padres. He seems to have a problem with giving up a lot of runs. Today, he gave up four runs in the sixth, only two of them earned. In the seventh, Ivan Nova gave up four runs.
That's 13 runs given up by this pitching staff. Jae Kuk Ryu and Cesar Carrillo had scoreless innings, but that's a tiny positive. In the beginning of the spring, our pitching staff was really sharp. But it seems like there's a bug going around the pitchers, and it's called the "giving-up-too-many-runs virus". I don't like it. The cure? Who knows, but if these guys want to be on the Opening Day roster, they'd better heal up quick.
On the offensive side, we hit very well. But once again, it was too little too late. We got things going in the fifth, when we scored five runs. Chase Headley had a huge three-run homer, followed by Kyle Blanks with a solo homer. But the most exciting part of the ballgame for the Padres was probably the bottom of the 9th. I stopped following the game because I thought it was over. The boxscore had a big "zero" in the Padres' spot for the 9th, so for some reason I thought it was done. But as they say, it's not over 'til it's over! Because in that 9th, Chad Huffman hit a grand slam with two outs! But we still fell two runs short, and we fell to the Rockies.
Well, that was the Rockies' first win of the spring, and of course it had to be against their NL West rivals. Figures that it was a high scoring game too. Either the Rockies' hitters were really frustrated and ready to win, or the Padres' pitching was going down the drain. I'd say it's a combination of both. A few of our young guys had a really good game, so I am very pleased about that. But I am not happy with our pitching. Not happy at all.
It was a really good broadcast, though. It was just Ted and Jerry, and with Jerry on the air so much, it can get very amusing. They actually had Chase Headley up in the booth during the game, and it got pretty funny. Ted thought that Chase would be a really good broadcaster, so he's like, "Hey, if you don't have anything else to do, come talk to us and we'll get you a job!" To which Chase replied, "Well, hopefully I'll have a job for the next 15 years or so!" But it's true. Chase has a really good presence on the radio, and I think he would do a good job. He got married in the offseason, and he talked a little about that. He said that since he's so ugly, he had to take any girl that would have him🙂
Since you all were wondering (riiiight), I decided to do this entry today because I'm planning on sleeping in tomorrow morning, and knowing me, I'll probably sleep 'til 11 or so. The Padres have a game against the A's in Peoria tomorrow at noon. One of my friends is actually going to it, so it will be cool to hear his account of the game and to see a bunch of pictures. Josh Geer is starting. Following him will be Cla Meredith, Chris Britton, Mark Worrell, Cesar Ramos, and Matt Buschmann. That's a lineup of some great pitchers. We'll have to see if the virus has reached them yet.
Well, have a great weekend, everybody! GO PADRES!!

Kaybee – Manny is unworthy of the title "Unfinished" business! Have a great weekend!
YESS! Weekend! Have a great one🙂 Today was one crazy game wasn't it? Even though our team lost, I'm glad that they finally showed whole bunch of runs in one game! Chase Headley is an amazing guy. I really, really enjoy watching him play and listening to his interviews. Hopefully, they can pull of with a win tomorrow against Oakland. As always, good luck, a win, and GO PADRES!
The Padres-Rockies rivalry is very underrated. It hinds behind the Yankees-Red Sox, Mets-Phillies, Cubs-Cardinals, and Dodgers-Giants rivalries. I can see it picking up some steam soon.
JULIA, totally! You too!
HYUN YOUNG, yeah, it was a really crazy game, but it's too bad that we lost. Let's get that win today!
MET'S MAIN MAN, yeah, I think it is!
Since you all were wondering, here's the lineup today:
CF Will Venable
2B David Eckstein
RF Brian Giles
DH Cliff Floyd
3B Kevin Kouzmanoff
LF Emil Brown
1B Kyle Blanks
C Eliezer Alfonso
SS Luis Rodriguez
Hey did you see Jake Peavy oitch in the WBC. It is the bottom of the eight with one out and a runner on first. USA leads Canada 6-4.
Bob, http://bostonsports.mlblogs.com/
Interesting how LeBlanc does poorly later. Normally, guys take a while to warm up and settle down! That happened to Jake Peavy in his start against Team Canada today. He did pretty well, he just had a shaky first inning. Hope you were able to listen to it!
I wish there was a cure to "giving up too many runs virus", maybe Emily knows!
The Rockies had to get on the board, sometime.
So, on a scale of 1 to 10….exactly how amped up are you for this season to get going? An eleven?

- Nharangga wargunni bugi-buggillu: a journey through Narungga history
- Author(s)
- Krichauff, Skye
- Abstract
- Who were the Narungga? How did they react to the arrival of pale-skinned strangers who began visiting their shores as early as 1802? What did they make of iron, glass and rice, and later of sheep, guns and flour? Using an array of historical sources, ranging from Matthew Flinders's 1802 log book to oral histories collected in the 1960s, this book skillfully traces the history of the Narungga people of Yorke Peninsula in the nineteenth century. Relations between Narungga and Europeans during this time were creative and complex. Skye Krichauff powerfully demonstrates the agency and autonomy of Narungga and, in doing so, challenges stereotypes of Aboriginal passivity, aggression and victimisation. The stories of long forgotten people such as Melaityappa (shot by ex-governor Hindmarsh's nephew), Jim Crack (Native Constable, interpreter and cultural mediator) and King Tommy (esteemed and respected Narungga leader) have been painstakingly resurrected from the archives. Narungga decisively and actively engaged with newcomers. What might the Narungga have sought to gain?

The Royals agreed to pick up the $1,836,000 remaining on Willingham's $7 million contract for this year. Willingham, 35, is eligible for free agency after the season.
"Obviously, we claimed him when he went through waivers and were able to execute a deal," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. "Josh is a proven bat. He's one of the better on-base guys. We feel he's going to give us a presence and help us in the middle of the lineup. I think he'll be in the lineup most days as we set up right now. (Manager) Ned (Yost) will ultimately make that call. ...
"We see his presence in the middle of our lineup somewhere and being that presence that can get some big hits for us. He had a big hit (Sunday) actually against Oakland. He's a professional. He's a winner. We feel very strong that he's going to help our team. He's the type of player and presence that you add at this time of year."
Moore said Willingham would complement Raul Ibanez at designated hitter with Billy Butler playing first base while Eric Hosmer is out with a broken hand.
Willingham hit .210 with 12 home runs, 34 RBIs and a .345 on-base percentage in 68 games with the Twins. He hit 35 homers with 110 RBIs, both career highs, in 2012 with Minnesota. He has also played for the Florida Marlins, Washington Nationals and Oakland Athletics.

Red Cross extends hero deadline
BARRE Since starting the nomination process last month for its first time Heroes Breakfast, the Vermont and New Hampshire Upper Valley American Red Cross has received an outpouring of tales of bravery and acts of kindness.
As word of the event spreads across the region, nominations are increasing. As a result, the organization is extending the nomination deadline to March 3, to ensure that everyone who wants to can submit their hero choices.
It is incredibly heartwarming to read the nominations as they come in,said Regional Executive Larry Crist. The nominations we have received confirm what we already knew, that our region is rich in remarkable, community-minded people who give so much of themselves. Our challenge will be to select our hero winners when the nomination period closes.
The Heroes Breakfast will honor members of the community who have demonstrated heroism through extraordinary acts of courage or kindness. The Red Cross is encouraging people to nominate someone to receive an award in one of eight categories: Armed Forces/Military Hero, Animal Hero, Youth Good Samaritan, Adult Good Samaritan, First Responder, Community Impact, Blood Services/Gift of Life, and Spirit of the Red Cross.
The heroism for which the person is nominated must have taken place after September 2012 in order to be eligible for the event in April. To nominate a hero, or to buy a ticket for the event, visit www.redcross.org/vermontheroes or www.redcross.org/uppervalleyheroes, or call (802)-660-9130 ext., 111.

Plans in the works for 'green burials'
MONTPELIER — Proponents of "green burial" in Vermont are planning to screen a movie on the subject Wednesday as they look to build support for legislation allowing for more natural interment options.
Mary Alice Bisbee, a member of the Funeral Consumers Alliance of Vermont, said "Dying Green" will be presented Wednesday afternoon at the Montpelier Senior Activity Center. The 27-minute movie highlights a natural reserve in South Carolina where bodies are being buried without caskets and embalming and often without gravestones.
The idea of a green burial without a casket, vault or embalming is growing in popularity as more people consider the environmental impacts of traditional burials, Bisbee said. But green burials are currently limited in Vermont because the state lacks legislation clarifying whether they are allowed beyond private property.
"Green burial is something that's been happening all over the country. We don't have any legislation in Vermont to do it, and the cemetery organizations in Vermont are not in favor of it," she said. "Nobody likes to make big changes."
Traditional burials have significant environmental and health impacts, according to Bisbee and other proponents of alternatives. "A lot of people are concerned with cemeteries taking up space and needing to be mowed and managed in a very formal way," she said.
Additionally, embalming fluids, which usually contain a carcinogen in formaldehyde, can cause significant health issues for morticians.
Green burials eliminate most of those issues, according to Bisbee, and allow people to return to the earth after death.
"There are a lot of people that think being put in a casket and put inside a cement vault and buried 6 feet deep is not the way to go. It's not back to nature," she said. "A lot of people say, 'Hey, I just want my body to go back to compost … in a quiet setting, and I don't want to think of having a memorial and stone and have it kept up that way.'"
Current laws and regulations allow for a body to be buried on someone's private land in a "green" fashion as long as GPS markings are filed with a town clerk. The burial must be away from water and power lines and listed on a property map, Bisbee said.
But the Funeral Consumers Alliance of Vermont is seeking legislation that would create natural reserves in Vermont. She said the state has plenty of wildlife areas and other natural sites that could serve as green burial areas.
Bisbee said she and others are seeking more detailed legislation than has been introduced in the past to clarify how and where green burials can take place, and to limit green burials on private property to family. The state should not be "changing the cemetery law to allow anybody to go out on their back 40 and do this with no regulation at all," she said.
"This is something where I don't think everybody should have the opportunity to bury people that are not family members or go into business or try to make a profit," she said.
Legislation introduced last year was never considered by the House Committee on General, Housing and Military Affairs. The bill does not appear to be a high priority this year, either, according to Bisbee.
Nonetheless, advocates of green burial are reaching out to specific lawmakers to seek support. Prospects for action in 2014 are unclear, Bisbee said, but educating the public will continue and the alliance is working to draft legislation and seek legislative sponsors.
"We're just trying to start doing some legwork. Possibly we're going to have a bill to put in by January," she said.
The free movie screening will be at 3:30 p.m., followed by a discussion.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Africa Dream Safaris is a proud sponsor of the Serengeti Lion Project. Our funding helps to protect lions against diseases such as canine distemper through programs aimed at vaccinating domestic dogs on the periphery of the Serengeti. We are delighted to announce that Africa Dream Safaris was honored with the Tanzania Conservation Award specifically because of our work with the Serengeti Lion Project. This prestigious award is presented by the Minister of Tourism in conjunction with the Tanzania Tourist Board.
Twenty-six resident lion prides residing in and around the Central Serengeti have been continuously studied since 1966 when George Schaller began his groundbreaking field study. The Serengeti Lion Project was hence created, which is the longest continuous field study ever conducted on a large mammal. One female member from each of the 26 prides is radio collared so that they can be tracked and studied on a weekly basis. George Schaller's initial study turned out to be a true landmark, not only because he worked out so many aspects of their social lives, but because his findings made it clear that lions did not limit the population size of their prey species. It was not necessary to persecute lions and other carnivores in order to ensure large populations of herbivores. The Serengeti could persist forever as an unspoiled spectacle of predators and their prey. Although we might take this notion for granted now, park wardens used to shoot predators and even eradicate some species from game reserves.
George Schaller began and conducted the study from 1966 to 1969, followed by Brian Bertram from 1969 to 1974, Jeannette Hanby and David Bygott from 1974 to 1978 and lastly Craig Packer starting in 1978. After 1978, the Serengeti Lion Project was taken over by the University of Minnesota under the directorship of Craig Packer. Two field biologists are stationed in Seronera 365 days a year to monitor and continue this long-term study. For a $500 per group donation, we can arrange a field talk by the current field biologists at the Lion House in Seronera (Central Serengeti) where you can learn first-hand about the lions of the Serengeti.
Africa Dream Safaris helps fund the Serengeti Lion Project's ongoing conservation efforts. In turn, periodic reports are prepared exclusively for Africa Dream Safaris by the on-site researchers for the Serengeti Lion Project. So you won't find this info anywhere else!
Since there are MANY lion prides in the Serengeti, we picked 6 specific study prides to focus on. Talk about having the inside scoop! These Serengeti Lion Project researchers live, sleep, and work out in the bush every single day, so they are able to offer invaluable information about the location and adventures of our favorite lions. Reading like a soap opera at times, we think you will also enjoy the real-life drama and adventures of these awesome animals as they live, hunt, and raise their families together in the harsh African wilderness.
So what new adventures have our favorite lions been up to lately? See the attached reports to find out!
Africa Dream Safaris is a proud sponsor of the Serengeti Cheetah Project. Our quarterly donations help fund the Serengeti Cheetah Project's ongoing conservation efforts, which include preserving the approximately 210 remaining cheetahs that inhabit the Serengeti Ecosystem. The Serengeti Cheetah Project was initiated in 1974 by George and Lory Frame, when virtually nothing was known about cheetahs in the wild, and information on their conservation status was limited. Since then, it has been responsible for collecting demographic data to monitor the Serengeti's critically endangered cheetah population.
The initial research conducted by the Serengeti Cheetah Project focused on establishing the basic natural history of cheetahs. Today, the project continues to collect demographic data but focuses almost entirely on issues of conservation significance. Its overall goal is to preserve the long-term survival of cheetahs in the wild. Africa Dream Safaris now helps fund their ongoing conservation efforts. In turn, periodic reports are prepared exclusively for Africa Dream Safaris by the on-site researchers for the Serengeti Cheetah Project. So you won't find this info anywhere else!
We've asked Laura Simpson, the current field researcher for the Serengeti Cheetah Project, to focus on individual cheetahs and tell us about their daily lives and their relationships with each other. It is a fascinating soap-opera out there! We think you will really enjoy the real-life drama and adventures of these awesome animals as they live, hunt, and raise their families in the harsh African wilderness.
You'll get to read current updates, stories and photos of the world's fastest land-mammal, all in one of the most exciting settings in the world, the Serengeti National Park! You'll also share in the on-site adventures of the dedicated researchers who are determined to save this beautiful cat from extinction in the wild. Sometimes touching, sometimes humorous, their stories are always entertaining and I'm sure you will enjoy them as much as we do!
Laura does a great job explaining her work and the overall mission of the Cheetah Project in the first report so make sure to read that one first.
The School of St Jude is a charity funded school that provides a free, high-quality primary and secondary education to over 1,600 of the poorest, brightest children of Arusha region, Tanzania, East Africa. The school, located across three campuses, also provides boarding for 1,100 students, and employs over 450 Tanzanians. It was founded by Australian Gemma Sisia in 2002.
The School of St Jude and Africa Dream Safaris are working together to help impoverished children in Tanzania to receive a free, high-quality education, while strengthening ADS' humanitarian involvement in the East African community. Our monthly donation will buy 2,000 hot, nutritious meals per month for the students. Tanzania is a developing country where one-third of its population lives below the poverty line, on less than $1.25 per day. A majority of children in Tanzanian schools do not receive lunch or any food, so they cannot focus on learning when they're hungry. St Jude's provides daily meals for students, as well as breakfast and dinner for the over 1,100 students who live in their boarding houses. All produce is sourced from the local community.
In addition to a range of other cultural and charitable outreach opportunities, ADS offers its guests the chance to visit The School of St Jude. Here they can meet students - who come from the poorest families in Arusha - and find out how one classroom in 2002 has grown into three campuses, two boarding houses and a centre of employment for over 450 local Tanzanians. ADS runs our operational office out of Arusha - where St Jude's three campuses are located - so we get to witness the tourism landscape firsthand and are excited to offer our clients the opportunity to experience all that Tanzania has to offer, from the natural wonders of the Serengeti to the great work being done in the local community.
"It's thanks to ADS and all our supporters around the world that St Jude's can not only educate so many children for free, but also employ over 450 local staff," says Gemma Sisia, Founder of St Jude's. "Their monthly contribution will allow our students to lead healthy lives, by focusing on their education rather than worrying where their next meal will come from. With this ADS contribution, we can continue to fulfill our mission of educating the next future leaders of Tanzania."
Video Introduction of The School of St. Jude
This video is a wonderful overview St. Jude's history and all the great work the school is consistently producing for Tanzanian community.
Tanzania is among the 50 poorest countries in the world. Poverty at this level means little or no access to reliable diagnostic and medical care, particularly in rural areas. High child and maternal mortality rates plague the country. An estimated 1 out of 9 Tanzanian children die before their 5th birthday. Sadly their deaths are often the result of preventable or treatable diseases, including malaria, diarrheal disease, acute respiratory infections, low-birth weight and AIDS.
Africa Dream Safaris is proud to be a major sponsor of the Foundation for African Medicine and Education (F.A.M.E.), a charitable organization that was founded to provide quality medical care to the local people living in rural Tanzania. Monthly donations by Africa Dream Safaris help F.A.M.E. provide invaluable medical care to people living in the District of Karatu, a rural region between Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Africa Dream Safaris was honored with the Humanitarian Award specifically because of our work with F.A.M.E. This prestigious award is presented by the Minister of Tourism in conjunction with the Tanzania Tourist Board. All guests traveling with Africa Dream Safaris are invited to stop by the F.A.M.E. facility in Karatu for a brief tour and presentation and learn more about how Africa Dream Safaris is making a real difference in the lives of local Tanzanians.
Dr. Frank Artress and his wife, Susan Gustafson, from the United States, founded F.A.M.E. in 2002. F.A.M.E. was created to help bridge the gap between a critically under-resourced health care system and first world medicine. Frank and Susan live and work in Tanzania, overseeing the day-to-day operations of various projects. These have included construction and operation of an Outpatient Clinic in Karatu and the operation of a Mobile Medical Service in very remote locations in the region. Despite a major shortage of healthcare workers in the country, particularly in rural areas, F.A.M.E employs an exceptional all Tanzanian medical team. They also make it a priority to provide doctors and nurses with the medical resources and support (i.e. supplies, medications, opportunities for continuing medical education, etc.) they need to effectively care for their patients.
F.A.M.E activities have been entirely financed by private donations and grants in the United States. Current fundraising activities are focused on meeting operational expenses for the Outpatient Clinic and Mobile Medical Service, purchasing laboratory equipment that will provide more comprehensive diagnostic services, and completing the next phase of the medical project which involves expanding the existing Outpatient Clinic into a small hospital. The facility will include 12 inpatient beds and a major and minor Operating Room.
"For us, ADS is a shining star in the tourism industry. With what ADS has donated this year alone, FAME Medical can purchase enough medicine to treat 2700 children diagnosed with pneumonia. This is a company that sees the a[euro]oebig picturea[euro] a[euro]" the importance of providing clients with an awe inspiring wildlife experience, while at the same time making a very tangible difference in the day-to-day lives of the Tanzanian people." - Susan Gustafson, founder of Foundation for African Medicine and Education
By 2010, an estimated 20 million children under the age of 15 will have lost one or both parents to AIDS. Without parents to support them, many children are often forced to abandon school. Without an education, orphans face a bleak future with little hope. A survey of over 400 households with orphans in Tanzania reported that almost 40% could not cover even basic expenses. The most common difficulty was covering school fees, including those for materials and uniforms.
Peace House is a U.S. based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. In the spirit of giving hope, Peace House is creating a brighter future for Africa's orphans, vulnerable children and their communities through nurturing care, dynamic education, technology research and business development. The Peace House Boarding School for Aids orphans was opened in 2007 and is located on land donated by the government of Tanzania. Courses and activities at the Peace House School will include a focus on creative problem solving and entrepreneurial business development skills. A key goal is for Peace House School graduates is to become job creators - young people who can build a sustainable future for Tanzania.
Many of our guests are extremely moved by their experience in Africa, not only by the beautiful natural resources but also the graciousness of the culture. Generally speaking Tanzanian people are bright, eager to learn and inherently happy, even in circumstances of extreme poverty. A consistently recurring question from returning clients is how to "give back" and make a tangible difference in the lives of real Tanzanian people. Herein lies just such an opportunity, and we invite you to participate if you feel called to do so as the Peace House is still in dire need for adequate supplies to support their school. Please see the Peace House's wish list below.
If you bring supplies with you, we recommend distributing them among your regular clothes and luggage to reduce the change of being asked by Customs to pay duty. Alternatively you may wish to donate towards the purchase of curriculum specific materials or classroom items such an overhead projector. You can rest assured that Africa Dream Safaris takes great care in making sure your gift is put directly to work. Guests travelling with Africa Dream Safaris are welcome to tour the facilities at Peace House. This excursion can be conducted with an Arusha layover or on the last day of your safari if departing on the late night KLM flight.

General Needs
Poli is a traditional Tanzanian village within the Usa River (pronounced "Oosa") district and is close in proximity to the local offices of Africa Dream Safaris. Support and sponsorship by Africa Dream Safaris helps Poli Village provide an invaluable education for the over 300 young children that call Poli their home.
The power of a good education offers real hope to elevate these children and their families above circumstances of poverty. The children here are eager to learn, but the dedicated teachers at the Poli village primary school must work long, tiring hours in over-crowded classrooms and with limited supplies. Through community work and donations of cash and supplies, we at Africa Dream Safaris hope to provide the fundamental resources to ensure that each student has the tools and resources to develop to their full potential.

Available only to Africa Dream Safaris clients, our Poli Village excursion takes you to a traditional village in Arusha. For guests who wish to visit a non-touristy village and learn more about the culture and life of most Tanzanians, this 2-hour excursion to the nearby village of Poli will be a highlight of your trip.
Located at an altitude of 3,900 feet above sea-level, Poli boasts beautiful views that would be the envy of many resort properties. Curious giggling children will welcome you as will the Chairman or Mayor of the village. You might meet at the site of the village council "office" - a shady area underneath a large century old tree - that has been the traditional village office for countless years. The Mayor will share how a village of this size is managed along with the day-to-day issues and challenges such as water, electric and medical supplies. Site visits will include the primary school, clinic, courthouse and the village offices. This tour is usually a highlight for clients seeking cultural interactions and insight into the life of most Tanzanians.

OverviewDC Ultra™ RTL synthesis solution enables users to meet today's design challenges with concurrent optimization of timing, area, power and test. DC Ultra includes innovative topographical technology that enables a predictable flow resulting in faster time to results. Topographical technology provides timing and area prediction within 10% of the results seen post-layout enabling designers to reduce costly iterations between synthesis and physical implementation. DC Ultra also includes a scalable infrastructure that delivers 2X faster runtime on quad-core platforms.
Download Datasheet
DC Ultra is the core of Synopsys' comprehensive RTL synthesis solution, including Power Compiler™, DesignWare®, PrimeTime®, and DFTMAX™. Design Compiler Graphical is available as an add-on to DC Ultra that includes best-in-class quality-ofresults, congestion prediction and alleviation capabilities, physical viewer, and floorplan exploration. Additionally Design Compiler Graphical produces physical guidance to IC Compiler, place-and-route solution for tighter correlation to layout and faster placement runtime.
Figure 1: The industry's most comprehensive synthesis solution
Topographical TechnologyTopographical technology delivers tight correlation to post-layout timing, area, test and power without the need for wireload models. It is designed for RTL designers and requires no physical design expertise or changes to the synthesis use model (Figure 2). Prediction of layout timing and area in DC Ultra is achieved through the innovative topographical technology. It enables RTL designers to fix real design issues while still in synthesis and generate a better starting point for place and route, eliminating costly iterations. This significantly boosts RTL designers' productivity. Topographical technology shares technology with Galaxy™ implementation, minimizing iterations to speed up physical implementation.
Figure 2: Topographical technology in RTL synthesis
Area Reduction TechnologiesDC Ultra provides optimization technologies that monotonically reduce gate-to-gate area by an average of 10% while maintaining Quality of Results (QoR). These advanced optimizations operate on both new and legacy design netlists, with or without physical information and at all process nodes. Area reductions are achieved without re-synthesis and without affecting timing results for maximum productivity.
Cross-ProbingCross-probing between the RTL source code and other design views such as schematic, timing reports and physical implementation provide designers with the ability to quickly detect potential design issues and fix them at the source. Early visibility into potential design issues using multiple views accelerates the creation of high quality RTL and constraints.
Figure 3: Cross-probing between RTL, schematic and timing view
Advanced Arithmetic OptimizationFor designs containing datapath, DC Ultra uses innovative datapath optimization algorithms to achieve better quality-of results in terms of timing, area and power with fast runtimes. DC Ultra identifies arithmetic trees in your HDL and optimizes them using carrysave arithmetic techniques to minimize performance and area impact of carry propagation (Figure 4). With DC Ultra, logic synthesis users can also take advantage of superior datapath synthesis capability to generate highly optimized implementations of DesignWare arithmetic components.
Figure 4: Transformation of sum of products into a Carry Save Adder (CSA) tree
Powerful Critical Path SynthesisDC Ultra employs various optimization algorithms throughout the synthesis process to deliver ultra-fast critical path timing. For example, immediately after the initial technology mapping, the design is not yet subjected to detailed gate-level optimization techniques. At this stage, DC Ultra performs aggressive timing driven restructuring, mapping and gate-level optimization. As a result, the subsequent detailed gate-level optimizations benefit from better overall timing-based structure. Throughout gate-level optimization, additional strategies are applied to improve the delay of the critical paths in the design. One of the techniques includes aggressive logic duplication for reducing the load seen by the critical path (Figure 5). DC Ultra looks at a larger subsection of the critical path during logic duplication and can replicate many gates to reduce load of high fan-out nets, hence improving timing on critical paths through load isolation. DC Ultra will also automatically ungroup parts of the design on the critical path to achieve better area and timing. It can also buffer high fan-out nets to improve total negative slack.
The DC Ultra mapping algorithms also attempt to map groups of cells to wide fan-in library cells on critical timing paths that can reduce number of logic levels and cell instances. Thus, timing, area, and power are improved.
Figure 5: Through logic duplication, DC Ultra reduces the load on the critical pathfor significant timing improvements
Register RetimingRegister retiming further improves QoR. It performs optimization of sequential logic by moving registers through logic boundaries to optimize timing with minimum area impact (Figure 6) for designs that already contain registers. The same functionality is preserved at I/O boundaries. Register retiming can also insert pipeline registers in pure combination circuits to be used to meet performance requirements as well as reduce area (Figure 7). Register retiming can be used along with datapath optimization algorithms to get the fastest pipelines.
Figure 6: Retiming designs with registers
Figure 7: Retiming on combinational logic
Better Control of Synthesis Cost-Function Priorities and Optimization StepsDC Ultra provides finer control over optimization to meet aggressive timing requirements. DC Ultra has a default cost function that prioritizes design rule requirements over timing and area constraints. By setting the appropriate priority, designers can drive synthesis to achieve the best QoR for a design. Compile directives in DC Ultra can be used to further control optimization. The compile directives allow the designer to change DC Ultra's standard behavior. For example, a designer may have a particular structure in mind and have instantiated the cells in the path. Although the overall structure should not change, it may be desirable for Design Compiler to perform sizing and local optimization for better timing. For this set of optimizations, the global structuring of the logic can be disabled while enabling gate sizing.
Figure 8: Synthesis runtime
Infrastructure for MulticoreThe advent of multicore processors in computer platforms has boosted the processing power available to designers. DC Ultra includes a scalable infrastructure to take advantage of multicore compute servers. Using an optimized scheme of distributed and multithreaded parallelization, DC Ultra delivers a 2X improvement in runtimes on quad core platforms. The infrastructure delivers runtime benefits without deviating from the quality of results. Figure 8 compares DC Ultra runtimes across multiple designs on single core vs. quad core machines. On the X-axis are designs and on the Y-axis are the runtimes in hours. The blue bars represent DC Ultra runtimes using a single core machine and the purple bars represent runtimes using quad core machines for the same design. As seen in the figure, DC Ultra is, on average, 2X faster on quad core compute servers.
Netlist Formats and InterfacesDC Ultra supports all popular industry standard formats
Interfaces:PLI, SDF, PDEF, SDC
SummaryDC Ultra includes comprehensive algorithms to optimize concurrently for timing, area, power and test. The topographical technology in DC Ultra ensures that results correlate to layout, eliminating costly iterations between synthesis and physical implementation. Optimization technologies that reduce gate-to-gate area by an average of 10% while maintaining timing Quality of Results (QoR) operate on both new and legacy design netlists. RTL cross-probing with multiple design views accelerates creation of high quality RTL and constraints.

Hobson's Choice
by Harold Brighouse
Fall 1997
Although the play's references to Shakespeare's King Lear are too obvious to be ignored, the play's comic heart asserts itself throughout. This play is loved because of its warmth and directness. The characters have a rough and ready honest edge that makes them endearing, and if their foibles are sometimes destructive, that only serves to make the play's resolution all the more satisfying. The title Hobson's Choice is an old saying that means "no choice at all." It arises from the habit of a Cambridge carrier, Thomas Hobson, who at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries supplied horses to the students and staff of the university. They could have any horse they liked, so long as it was the one next to the door! As the play draws to a close, it seems everyone in the room except Henry Hobson can see how appropriately named he is. As he wriggles around trying to escape, we can smile in recognition at his folly; how stubborn we mortals are!

Alumna to compete on Jeopardy
Posted on July 11, 2014
It's probably safe to say that Jen Fiero could beat us all at Trivial Pursuit.
Tonight's episode of "Jeopardy" will feature the alumna who graduated in 2007 with a degree in Spanish and international relations. She was named the champ of the July 10 episode after winning the "Final Jeopardy!" round.
The show will air in West Michigan on Friday, July 11, at 7:30 pm on WWMT-TV.
Fiero, a library associate for Jackson College, said she was chosen to be a contestant after taking an online test that is offered once a year and attending an in-person audition.
"Some people I auditioned with had been working to be on the show for 10 years or more," she said. "They only select 10 percent of the people who take the test audition, so it was really fun to make it that far."
A month before the taping in March, Fiero got a call that she was chosen to be a contestant. She prepared by visiting trivia quiz websites, and watching Jeopardy epidsodes and "Crash Course World History" videos on YouTube.
"I mostly just relied on my existing trivia knowledge," she said. "I figured that was what got me there in the first place, and I just wanted to relax and have fun!"
Fiero received a master's degree in library and information science from Wayne State University.

My involvement with the MuseScore (open source notation software) project continues to deepen. At first I just helped with documentation and support. Then I dusted off my programming chops and wrote some plugins, and then started bug fixing. Last summer I went further and implemented a whole new flexible chord symbol parsing and rendering system, and I've continued with bug fixing since in preparation for the big 2.0 release, which is getting closer and closer (no, there is no official date to announce).
Over the past few weeks, I've gone in and overhauled the basic note layout algorithms. I'm proud of the work I've done, but more importantly, I'm excited for what it will mean for users of MuseScore 2.0 – better looking scores with much less need for manual adjustment of notes, chords, dots, ties, or accidentals.
