October 25, 2012 —
Two men have been indicted in the death of Catherine Novak, a Narrowsburg woman who died in a fire that officials say was deliberately set on December 13, 2008.
Paul Novak, 45, of Palm Coast, Florida, and Scott Sherwood, 40, of Lindenhurst, New York, were indicted on October 25 by a Sullivan County Grand Jury on murder, burglary and arson charges.
According to District Attorney Jim Farrell, the indictment alleges that Novak intentionally killed his wife, Catherine, during the course of a burglary, thereby elevating the charge to first degree murder.
The indictment also alleges that Novak stole over $330,000 from State Farm Insurance on the homeowner's policy that insured the residence, and committed insurance fraud in the total amount of $451,258.31, wrongfully taking this money from American General Insurance and New York Life Insurance.
Investigators discovered the body of Catherine, 41, in the charred remains. Her death was originally ruled an accident by the hospital pathologist, but the case was re-opened when new evidence was developed.
The New York State Police investigated this case and arrested both Novak and Sherwood on September 27, 2012. Novak was initially arraigned as a fugitive in Flagler County, Florida, and waived extradition and was brought back to New York on October 15, 2012.
Both men have been remanded to the Sullivan County Jail, without bail. Novak faces a maximum of life in prison, without the possibility of parole, if convicted of the first degree murder charge.
Catherine was in the process of getting a divorce from Paul when the fire erupted four years ago.
According to then-Sullivan County District Attorney Steve Lungen, at the time of the fire investigators had trouble determining the cause because of the severity of the destruction.
Reports indicated that one cause for suspicion was that the fire spread more quickly than most. Lungen would not confirm that, but he said that "the investigation of the fire and the medical examination have raised more questions than they've answered."
Catherine, who had two children under the age of 10, sent the children the day before the fire to stay with their father who then lived in Glen Cove, Long Island. The family dog, which was initially thought to be missing, was ultimately found in the wreckage.
Catherine was a well-known member of the community, served on the Sullivan West school board from 2005 to 2007 and participated actively in St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Narrowsburg. Pastor Phyllis Haynes said Novak served on the church council, was in charge of church coffee hours and had taught Sunday School.

Dordt Volleyball Advances In NAIA National Field
November 23, 2013
The Dordt College Defender volleyball team advanced to the NAIA National Championship Final Site field with a 25-22, 25-16, 19-25, 25-19 in an NAIA National Championship Opening Round contest at the De Witt Gym in Sioux Center, Iowa.
The two teams played even volleyball in set one with 14 ties up to 18-18. A service error by Paige Quinones gave Dordt a lead they wouldn't relinquish as the Defenders scored two more points on a kill by Brooke Wolterstorff and an attack error by the Wolves. Up 21-18, Dordt was able to play side out volleyball, fighting off two surges by Cardinal Stritch where the visitors were able to cut the gap to one on two different occasions. Dordt scored the winning point on a Cardinal Stritch ball handling error and the Defenders were up 1-0.
Set two had Dordt pull away to a 19-12 lead with a six point run and the Defenders breezed to the 25-16 win as Brooke Wolterstorff recorded the set winner with a kill.
Dordt looked well on their way to a win in sweep fashion as they were up 17-13 in set three. The Wolves came alive to tie it at 17-17 with a four point run. A Meghan Krausman kill slowed the run but Cardinal Stritch scored back to back points on a Quinones kill and a Dordt attack error. Dordt was unable to tie it again and lost a 25-19 final.
Set four was similar with Dordt leading 5-0 early and holding a 17-10 lead. Cardinal Stritch scored the next three points to make it 17-13 and Dordt called a timeout. A Brooke Wolterstorff kill stopped the run and the Defenders went on score two more points for a 20-13 lead and Cardinal Stritch never got closer than 23-19 as Dordt went on to win their 23rd match of the season.
Dordt had 63 kills and hit for a .321 kill efficiency with 54 digs and eight points off of blocks. Cardinal Stritch had 50 kills and hit for a .237 kill efficiency and had 49 digs and seven points off blocks.
Jenna Horstman and Brooke Wolterstorff had 15 kills each for the winners while Elizabeth Kiel had 10 and Lindsey Floen nine. Kayla Gesink added six kills and had 48 assists. Kayla Brokehuis got to 20 digs and Brooke Wolterstorff had 13 digs and two service aces. Floen had five block assists and Gesink three and Kiel and Woltestorff were both in on three blocks as well.
Cardinal Stritch was led by Monique Morris and Jasmine King with 11 kills each while Paige Quinones and Amanda Aalpoel had nine kills each. Kelsey Johnson and Tori Burke had 21 and 18 assists respectively and Morris had 14 digs.
Dordt is 23-7 and awaits its assignment for the Final Site stage of the National Championship which begins with pool play on Tuesday, December 3 at the Tyson Event Center in Sioux City, Iowa. Cardinal Stritch ends its season with a 28-13 record after qualifying for the National Championship field with the second berth out of the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Developing Breakthrough Products that Break Through
with Albert Tong
How did Sony envisage a market for its Walkman, or more recently, what
enabled RIM, a leading high-tech Canadian company, to define a market for
its two-way wireless handheld, Blackberry? Competitive market pressures together with the rapid pace of technological development to make innovation increasingly more important in firms' overall strategies. With shortening product life cycles, breakthrough products are becoming an essential source of revenue. Forward-looking companies are combining technologies and trends to create the products of tomorrow.
This book is targeted for general managers and product design specialists. It offers a new methodology for developing breakthrough products. The approach is novel yet practical and offers a comprehensive methodology to include dynamic factors such as changing market structures, requisite customer learning and behaviour changes, the evolution of technology, growth of an infrastructure, entry of competitors, and changes in government regulations.

Production and Operations Management
Total Quality and Responsiveness
Co-athored with Russel Radford
This book is designed to prepare students for dealing successfully with challenges posed by an increasingly competitive and time-responsive marketplace. This requires students to understand and accept that competing against the world's best requires a firm to use all its resources at their most effective. These resources must therefore be integrated and focused on how best to support the firm's competitive strategy.
We have therefore taken the viewpoint of the operating manager, not merely that of the technician, in developing this book. The operating manager in both manufacturing and service organizations must be capable of conducting and managing complex design, planning, and control activities. In addition, however, operating managers must be capable of making decisions, and that requires an ability to think strategically and to understand why and when to do something, not just how. Every manager should understand the impact of operations on corporate strategy and other elements in the value chain and how to integrate operations effectively into the corporation at all levels. Every manager should also have command of available quantitative tools and techniques. This book has been written and organized to reflect and integrate these two important trends.
We emphasize the context of the leading-edge firm we call the fast-response organization (FRO). An FRO is organized around six dimensions of competition, or competitive drivers:
- Product quality
- Total service support for products and for suppliers and customers
- Product and process flexibility
- The strategic use of time, especially as a value-added concept
- Costs, primarily in a customer-oriented, net value sense
- Dependability in honoring commitments in the marketplace
These drivers are an integral part of the philosophy underlying total quality management (TQM). The strategic implication of TQM philosophy is that FROs must use all their resources to the fullest, including the capabilities of all employees. This departure from traditional operations management approaches is a distinctive aspect of the book.

Readings and Cases in the Management of New Technology
An Operations Perspective
Co-Authored with Russel Radford
This collection of readings and cases has been assembled to bring a managerial perspective to new technology adoption and implementation. This book has been prepared to complement Managing the Dynamics of New Technology: Issues in Manufacturing Management. However, the book can also stand alone; it will support any general course in Operations Management or Engineering Management, a course focused on technology, or a course in General Management. The book is not a technical manual; it is intended to help generalist managers, not merely technical specialists, understand the process and the implications of new technology acquisition for the whole of the adopting organization. Subsequently, the perspective chosen for the readings and cases are not only global, but functionally broad. The material covers many issues from acquisition to implementation, and deals with matters of importance from the individual to the economy at large.
The book has been organized into twelve sections, beginning with general issues concerning the factory of the future. The other sections cover topics from characteristics and potential of new technology through a dynamic analysis of adopting new technology. The readings run, roughly, from fairly focused problems to broad managerial issues. The cases in all sections contain a variety of management concerns that need to be taken into account. The situation presented at the beginning of each chapter provides a brief description of a real case as experienced and resolved in real life. This is a very helpful starting point for individual and/or group analysis of the teaching cases. In addition, the epilogue provided after the readings in each chapter gives a sense of direction and focal point on the important issues that should be considered when reading and thinking through the cases.

Managing New Technology: Today's Competitive Weapon
Technology Canada: May 21 - 22 1986
Edited by Hamid Noori & Assisted by Richard Rigby
The proceedings of the TECHNOLOGY CANADA Conference are comprised of the presentations and panel discussions of over 45 speakers from industry, government, labour organizations, and academia and is dedicated to the topic of Managing New Technology. This is a very timely focus as Canadian companies become increasingly involved with the acquisition and implementation of new technology. The factory-of-the-future is to integrate new information technology, management, organization, and production technology.
The proceedings are divided into eight sections of various topics with most sections starting with a summary of the papers prepared by the session's chairperson. At the end of each section, an extract of panel discussions which took place after presentations is also provided. This should give the reader a flavour of lively debates we had during the conference.


text: I thought we had weaned from day feedings, but now my dd has picked them back up and when I refuse she throws a huge fit refusing to sleep or eat reg. food. How am I ever going to get my baby weaned...I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. She is nursing probably three times or more during the day and probably 6 or more times at night. Shes 14 mos. old and co-sleeps. I tried weaning her back in December and then I tried again in Feb. and I always began with the daytime feedings. Do you think I should try nighttime weaning first instead and continue to nurse during the day...and if so, how do i go about it? I've tried the gordon's method with no success and lots of crying (the I'm going to die if you don't bf me cry), i've tried to get her to sleep in her crib...but she won't have that at all. I've even tried to decrease my milk supply with no success what so ever. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

December 30 – The Top Five Yankees During the Past Five Years
December 30th is one of the few days of the year on which no Yankee,
past or present was born. So last year on this date, I presented this
"Top Ten Yankees of the Decade" post. This year, I thought I'd condense
that a bit and discuss who the five players are who've contributed the
most to Yankee baseball over the past five years.
1. Derek Jeter – this list has to start with "The Captain." Despite
his first-ever mediocre year in 2010 and the needless and very
derogatory comments made about him by the Yankee front office during
his just-completed contract negotiation, Jeter remains the classiest
act in all of baseball and is still the straw that stirs this Yankee
team. I'm predicting he will be back better than ever in 2011.
2. Robinson Cano – His awesome 2010 regular season performance and
the fact that he finally put together some offense in a postseason has
convinced me that this guy has the entire package necessary to be
baseball's best second baseman for at least the next five years.
3. Mariano Rivera – The only reason he is not number two on my list
is the inability of the rest of New York's pitching staff to get him
any save situations in this year's ALCS against Texas. The best closer
4. Alex Rodriguez – Has become the all-time greatest third baseman
in Yankee franchise history but his recent injuries and longer term
power outages may be evidence of the magic of performance enhancing
pharmaceuticals unhappening right before our eyes.
5. You decide who belongs in this slot and let the rest of our
readers know by posting your answer in the "comments" section below.
Candidates include Pettitte, Sabathia, Matsui, Teixeira, Damon, Posada,
4 Comments
Wow. That's a tough call. But I'll go with Pettitte, because he's meant so much to the Yankees over the long haul, not just in the past year or so. Talk about a big-game, post-season pitcher!
Matsui. When we needed a clutch hit, Godzilla always seemed to come through. See Game 6 of the '09 WS! CC and Tex have been great, but have only played in two of the last five seasons.
I'm a huge fan of Andy and can't disagree with him being in the five spot on this list… but… I really do miss Matsui. As Brett points out, he was always a "big hit" guy and he seemed to consistently thrive against the other team's best pitchers regardless if they were right-handers or southpaws.
This is why I asked readers to select the fifth best Yankee of the last five years because I can't decide who deserves it more.
Seems like there are many catagories that more than one individual could fill, does not specifically address the individual but group of "no names" could fill the fifth slot, without them level of yankee success would be questionable, middle relief/set up guys like Scott Proctor, catchers that have filled in for Posado over the years Cerveli calls a geat game, throws out runners and has an idea on how to block the plate. The energy and team work adds so much to the chemistry, and how about the enforcer Shelly Duncan. Matsui is great but also in my top five ugliest Yankees, I would say he was neck and neck with NoNeckWilliams but No Neck had No Neck. Anyways may we all have a blessed New Year, the Boys Of Summer will be in Florida before we know it. Phil in Vero Beach Florida.

- Abstract
- In line with the national policy requirement to enhance quality assurance in higher education, Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) has, since 1992, funded several research projects which addressed quality issues. This paper is the outcome of one of those projects. The paper has two purposes. The first is to report a pilot network of exploring what outcomes the stakeholders of higher education regard as important for students to achieve as a result of their study at, and involvement in the activities of the universities. The second is to look briefly at the data emanating from the pilot study to get a sense of the kinds of perspective's which such an approach might yield in a properly focused, full-scale study.

Sony Computer Entertainment has reportedly began to negotiate with contract manufacturers of electronics in a bid to start production of its next-generation PlayStation 4 video game console late this year with the plan to launch the device in 2012.
Foxconn Electronics and Pegatron Technology, according to a market rumour published by DigiTimes web-site, will start production of the PlayStation 4 game console featuring movement-based control like Kinect at the end of 2011 for launch in 2012. Sony reportedly wants to release at least 20 million PS4 units in 2012.
Sony has already confirmed development of the PlayStation 4 system, but has not announced any details about the system. Usually, designers of game consoles showcase their forthcoming systems at least a year before the launch so that to attract interest towards them both among game developers as well as gamers.
No credible market watchers or market sources expect Sony to release PlayStation 4 in 2012. Moreover, given the fact that Nintendo Wii U is unlikely to offer significantly better games that the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 in 2012, neither Sony nor Microsoft strategically need their next-gen consoles on the market in late 2012.
Due to the fact that the launch of PS4 is generally unlikely to happen in 2012, Sony may launch a new version of PS3 next year. For example, the new flavour may sport better integration with Move motion sensor and other components.
Sony did not comment on the story.

Oscar Bettisonb.19 September 1975, Jersey, UK
Described as possessing "an unconventional lyricism and a menacing beauty," (WNYC Soundcheck) British-American composer Oscar Bettison's music has been commissioned and performed by leading ensembles and soloists around the world. His work demonstrates a willingness to work within and outside the confines of concert music. Working with what he calls "Cinderella instruments," Bettison makes or re-imagines instruments, as well as writing for instruments more common in rock music and the inclusion of electro-acoustic elements; his recent pieces have been concerned with bringing these strands together. His music has been featured and reviewed in the US, UK, Dutch, and Italian press, as well as played on TV and radio across US, UK, Australian, Dutch, and Brazilian media outlets. His recent work, Livre des Sauvages, has been described as "pulsating with an irrepressible energy and vitality, as well as brilliant craftsmanship" (Bachtrack).
Recent commissions have included major new works for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, musikFabrik, So Percussion, the Bang on a Can All-Stars, Rolf Hind and the Roundhouse (London), and the Tonlagen Festival in Dresden. Recent performances include Sea Shaped, premiered by the Berkeley Symphony; Bird Forms on a Neutral Background, written for recorder player Susanna Borsch; An Automated Sunrise (for Joseph Cornell), premiered by the Talea Ensemble; and Animate Objects, written for musikFabrik. His work for solo viola, Threaded Madrigals, written for Rebecca Young, was premiered at the New York Philharmonic's inaugural Biennial in June 2014.
He has been the recipient of a number of awards including of the Yvar Mikhashoff Commissioning Fund Prize (2009), a Jerwood Foundation Award (1998), the Royal Philharmonic Society Prize (1997), the first BBC Young Composer of the Year Prize (1993), as well as fellowships to both the Tanglewood and Aspen music festivals.
The subject of several recordings, his first full-length album, O Death (featuring the evening-long work of that name, performed by Ensemble Klang), was released in 2010 to great acclaim in the Dutch and US media. Other recent recordings include B&E (with aggravated assault) as performed by NEWSPEAK which was recently released on New Amsterdam Records, and Cadence, released by NMC Records.
Born in the UK, Bettison studied with Simon Bainbridge at the Royal College of Music (London), with Louis Andriessen and Martijn Padding at the Royal Conservatorium of The Hague (The Netherlands). He was a Naumberg fellow at Princeton University where he completed his PhD in 2008, and is currently on the composition faculty at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University.

Fred Schauer of the Bee Agricultural Co. said this week that about 85 percent of the corn planted this year "got zeroed out." It was plowed under by local farmers.
The same thing happened with the grain sorghum crop, Schauer said. And about 70 percent of the sorghum harvested "was very poor," Schauer said.
Arturo Gaitan, who farms in several locations between Tynan and Skidmore, said his crops depended on where they were planted.
He said some of his neighbors had to plow under their crops. A lot of his grain sorghum was destroyed by the second year of drought.
The difference between this year and last year was that, this year, there was no sub-moisture in the ground. Farmers basically planted in dry dirt and hoped for rain.
In a couple of places, like the fields Gaitan had near Skidmore, some rain did fall. In other places, there just was not enough moisture.
Gaitan said he might get 2,000 to 2,200 bushels per acre in some places. But a lot of milo was destroyed.
This year's saving grace was the price of grain. Much of the Midwest saw crops wiped out by extended dry weather.
"We're going to silage what we've got," Gaitan said. "We've just got to put a pencil to it and see what our break-even point is."
"Dad says if there's anything out there, we've got to go get it."
In some areas, the cost of getting it could be far too much. The price of farm diesel is about $3.22 a gallon and, once a farmer cranks up the big engine on a combine or tractor, the fuel goes quickly.
Just a few years ago, farmers were complaining about $2-a-gallon diesel prices.
"The southern and eastern parts of the county did well," Gaitan said. "We're just going to get all we can and figure out the damage later."
Farmer Troy Berthold said 100 percent of the crop he planted this year was grain sorghum.
"We made a light crop," Berthold said. "It's just been a very dry year."
"The wild hogs tore me up," Berthold added.
He said he was lucky to get his crop harvested before the rains came this month. In years past, rain at harvest time has caused his grain to sprout, damaging its quality.
Berthold said some of the crops east of Beeville got an inch or more of rain just at the right time this year and that helped the milo a great deal in places.
"We started out so dry," the farmer lamented. "We were lucky we made anything."
But as bad as the situation was in Texas this year, it could have been worse.
Berthold said a friend in Illinois told him earlier last week that, if his crops did not get rain before the end of the week, "we're going to have a complete failure."
The farmer told Berthold that Illinois has not seen a drought this bad since the 1930s.
Of course, the drought in the Midwest is what is boosting grain prices, but no one wishes total failure on anyone.
Berthold said all the failed corn crops are going to create problems in the economy.
"Everything's made out of corn. We're fortunate we made what we made."
Aaron Salge, who manages the Bee County Co-op in Tynan, was singing the same song.
As far as the corn crop, he said about the only grain his storage facilities have been getting has come from irrigated fields.
"We got a little from dry land farming, but it wasn't anything to write home about."
"We're probably doing good to see a half of a normal crop," Salge said. "Whatever normal is these days. There wasn't a whole lot out there."
He said the same thing that Gaitan said about grain prices this year. They are consistently going up because of the drought in the Midwest.
"Milo did a little better than corn," Salge said. And there were some areas that did well, depending on whether they got any significant rain this year.
Salge said he has not gone out to check on the cotton much but he has heard farmers commenting on what crop they figure on getting this year.
"They're wondering if it's even worth harvesting," Salge said. "The decision will have to be made by the insurance adjusters."
Of course, it is still a little early to make any predictions on what kind of crop the cotton will make in some locations.
The plants are not yet matured, and the bolls have yet to open. Also, a lot of the cotton has not gotten very high this year, and the harvesting equipment would have to be almost run in the ground to harvest the crop.

Tailoring Good Samaritan
I had bought the teddy bear for my wife from the gift shop this past year and some of the stiching in the leg had come undone. My wife is disabled and I can't sew to save my life, so we thought we would take it to the store and see if the lady that runs the store knew of any tailors in the area that could fix it.
As it turns out a nice couple that was traveling through the area on their way to Daytona overheard our conversation and offered to fix it for her. The repair was flawless.
i neglected to get her name, but if she reads this post......Thank you very much.

The whole incident is available to everybody to watch again.
It seems only the RFL Disciplinary and the minority on here have seen fit to ignore Ryan Bailey's flying headbutt attempt on Sean Long.
So excuse me if I have only contempt for the ex players' opinions who sit on the panel.
Whilst I think it should have gone on record with the disciplinary (to add to his extensive list) he didn't make contact, so it was never going to attract any kind of punishment.

Joan M. MulhernJanuary 03,2013
Joan M. Mulhern
WASHINGTON, D.C. Joan M. Mulhern, 51, of Washington, D.C., formerly of Moretown and Waitsfield, Vt., and Sherborn, Mass., died Dec. 18, 2012, after complications from a long-term illness.
The devoted daughter of the late Marie L. (Henry) and John F. Mulhern, she was the beloved sister of Marie C., Martha L. and John C. Mulhern, of Boston, and the late Robert A. Mulhern. Dearly remembered niece and cousin, she will be missed by her many friends and colleagues.
Ms. Mulhern graduated from The University of Vermont in 1985. After graduation she was employed by the Vermont Public Interest Research Group as associate director, where she was a tenacious advocate for, among many things, the statewide regulation of mercury and other toxins in consumer products and the waste stream, the bottle bill and other recycling efforts, prohibiting low-level nuclear waste in Vermont landfills, and water withdrawal issues. She received recognition from the Tufts University Institute for the Environment and the Coalition of Northeastern Governors.
Joan then attended Georgetown Law School and graduated magna cum laude in 1997. As a student at Georgetown, Joan served along with law students from around the world as a citizen witness on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa.
Upon returning to Washington, D.C., Joan worked with Ralph Nader at Public Citizen where she fought the tobacco industry.
Joan was senior legislative counsel at EarthJustice at the time of her death where she was remarkably dedicated to her work to save Appalachian waters and communities from the devastating effects of mountaintop removal mining, and protect Florida waters from toxic algae slime.
In the high-powered halls of Congress, Joan was a tireless advocate for the underdog. Even in the face of bleak politics and serious illness, Joan never lost her notorious wit and humor. She received national recognition in 2007 when Vanity Fair featured her in a photo essay called Eco Heroes, where she appeared alongside luminaries like Robert Kennedy Jr. and EPA chief Carol Browner.
Throughout Joans life and career, the Green Mountains of Vermont held a special place in her heart.
She was a lifelong Red Sox fan.
A memorial service will be held in the Eaton and Mackay Funeral Home, 465 Centre St., Newton Corner, Mass., on Saturday, Jan. 5, 2013, at 11 a.m. Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend. Visiting hours will be held on Friday, Jan. 4, from 4 to 7 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations to The Joan Mulhern Justice Fund, c/o EarthJustice, 50 California St., Suite 500, San Francisco, CA 94111, or online at http://earthjustice.org/joan.

According to MayoClinic.com, radiation therapy employs high-powered energy such as X-rays to kill cancer cells.
It's important to understand the distinction between radiation and chemotherapy, as many patients and their family members get the two terms confused. WebMD.com notes that chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells, instead of radiation. The two may be used in conjunction with one another, which is perhaps why the terminology gets confusing for patients.

The "gourd-eous" weather Saturday should be ideal for people eagerly awaiting the return of Market and Main, themed "All About Pumpkins" this month.
The market, which includes a variety of vendors, is open 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. around the Downtown Depot Pavilion.
Michelle Wright, Main Street manager, is encouraging those coming to compete in the pie baking and pumpkin rolling contest to purchase their needed supplies just down the street at First United Methodist Church at 106 E. Cleveland St.
Larry McRorey, pastor at the church, said that the pumpkin patch is open Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 1-6 p.m.
Money raised from the sale will fund the church's annual Fall Festival which coincides with the Western Week Celebration. Everyone is invited after the festival's parade over to the church for lunch, live music and games.
Wright said that she and McRorey began discussing the combined effort last year when he first brought in the pumpkins as a church benefit.
"I like to decorate with pumpkins," she said. "I always like to shop Beeville first and... I like to shop my Main Street markets first.
"I love the fact that it benefits the community and the kids."

Cheats and Walkthroughs
Cheats and Walkthroughs
Cheats and Walkthroughs
The Dead Island trailer is the best trailer I have ever seen in my life. The best video game trailer. The best movie trailer. The best anything trailer:
The game is a bit of a mystery, but here's what we know: Dead Island is in development at Techland (makers of excellent Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood) and will be published by Deep Silver. It is set on an island (duh) and is an open-world, survival-horror game with a first-person perspective, but the idea is to focus on melee combat and RPG elements and it will feature a clear focus on story-telling as well as four-player, drop-in, drop-out combat.
The game has been kicking around since at least 2007. Back in 2009, we spoke to Techland brand manager Blazej Krakowiak who told us: "I can understand how impatient our fans must be to see more news and assets from Dead Island. Unfortunately our agreement with the game's worldwide publisher imposed a media silence on us. All we are allowed to say is that the game is in development and doing great and that all future updates regarding the game will come directly from the publisher."
It's scheduled for a 2011 release on the PS3, 360 and PC.
Also: Whoever made this trailer deserves a raise.

The outcome of a special election in suburban Des Moines has left the Democrats with 26 seats in the Iowa Senate versus 24 for the GOP.
Republican Charles Schneider beat Democrat Desmund Adams in Tuesday's voting, 56 percent to 43 percent.
The District 22 opening was created by the Oct. 15 death of Pat Ward, a Republican. Her name remained on the general election ballot Nov. 6, so a special election was scheduled.
District 22 includes Windsor Heights, Waukee, Clive and parts of West Des Moines and rural Dallas County.
Schneider is a lawyer from West Des Moines. Adams, from Clive, owns an executive recruiting and human resources company.

Seven national top-10 team finishes
FORT MYERS, FLA.—The No. 15 Central College wrestling team overcame a 14-7 deficit in the final matches against Heidelberg (Ohio) to capture four dual wins at the Gulf Coast Duals Sunday at Fort Myers, Fla.
Improving to 7-1 overall, the Dutch opened with a 33-7 triumph against North Central (Ill.) before defeating Oneonta State (N.Y.) 23-9. Central rolled past Alma (Mich.) 30-7 and completed the sweep with a 20-14 victory over Heidelberg.
Dusty Fellows (freshman, Fort Myers, Fla., Riverdale HS) sparked the rally against Heidelberg with an 8-2 decision at 174 pounds. Stepping into the lineup after an injury, Greg Barner (senior, Audubon) scored a 9-3 decision at 184 to put the Dutch within one at 14-13. Theron Stewart (senior, Marshalltown) gave Central the lead with a 10-1 major decision at 197 and Jake Crawford (senior, Monroe, Southeast Polk HS) followed with a 3-2 decision at 285 for the dual win.
"Dusty was the turning point against Heidelberg and then Greg followed with a big win," coach Eric Van Kley said. "It was an intense dual and our wrestlers kept their composure and really had a lot of confidence in their conditioning. Our shape helped us pull out some close ones."
Ryan Davis (senior, Shreveport, La., Northwood HS) produced four wins on the day at 149 pounds with one decision and three major decisions and improved to 13-3. Stewart also won all four matches at 197 and is 15-2 for the year. Tyler Lowy (sophomore, Phoenix, Ariz., Thunderbird HS) picked up two wins at 184, including a 28-second pin against North Central. Joseph Atwell (senior, Jamaica, Panorama HS) crossed the 75 career-wins mark with three victories at 157 pounds. He is 77-42 with a 9-1 season record.
"I'm proud of our overall team effort," Van Kley said. "We battled against four good teams and it was good to see us come out with four big wins."
Central takes in the Florida sunshine with some sightseeing and has a break for the holidays before returning to the mat Jan. 10 with a 7 p.m. dual against No. 28 Loras College at Dubuque.

New York Farm Bureau Photograph Collection, 1915-1916
Call no.: PH 053
Founded as a non-governmental, volunteer organization in 1911, the New York Farm Bureau offers resources to support and enrich rural life and encourages farmers to work collaboratively for better marketing and production.
This small collection of photographs documents inspection tours conducted by the New York Farm Bureau of farms, apparently in the Mohawk River Valley, in 1915-1916. The intent, as the caption of one photograph suggests, was to bring "science into the field."

CIS Department Develops Virtual Networking Lab
CIS Virtual World - Powered by VMWare
Tarleton State University's Computer Information Systems (CIS) Department has rolled out a new online innovation called the "CIS Virtual World." The idea came about while trying to determine a viable method for hands-on network classes in the online environment. A student taking a standard networking course normally has to work with multiple server and client computers in order to implement and test network configurations. The physical computer lab (COBA 211) was able to provide access for students in Stephenville, but the department had been unable to provide online students with a comparable environment. The chance of making an error and causing major problems with you home computer system while learning these skills usually means the student is encouraged NOT to use their day-to-day production computer. The requirement for students to purchase, borrow, or rent additional computers to take classes seemed cost-prohibitive for most college students.
Working hand-in-hand with the TSU IT department and Sequel Data Systems we have designed CIS Virtual World. Through the purchase of high end Dell© servers and VMWare© we have created an environment where online students can access and perform network administration duties on as many virtual computers as may be necessary for the course in a cloud-computing environment. This innovative approach allows online students to participate in hands-on courses involving multiple computers and multiple operating systems that are normally limited to face-to-face lab environments. This idea is rare enough that during the fall 2009 installation and proof-of-concept phase, the Sequel Data Systems consultants said they had experience with many VMWare© deployments in higher education but they had never seen or heard of one for use by students in the distance learning and online environments.
Beginning in the 2010 Spring Semester, CIS Virtual World will be used in online classes for the first time. The CIS 347 Data Communications class will provide each online student with administrator privileges to one server computer running the Windows 2008 Server operating system and one client computer running Windows 7 operating system. After performing certain security steps, each Virtual computer will be accessible to the online student and their administrative access will allow them to perform whatever lab or assignments necessary for the completion of the class. This particular class includes making connectivity checks, basic security, configuration changes, adding accounts, enabling Active Directory, logging in to the server from the client machine, and network troubleshooting.
Planning for the near future includes the addition of online versions of other hands-on courses traditionally taught in face-to-face lab environments, to include CIS 305 Operating Systems (using multiple operating systems), CIS 445 Systems and Network Security, CIS 476 Network Administration (using Windows operating systems), CIS 478 (using Linux/UNIX operating systems). We will also be providing this to our graduate students in the Master of Information Systems program via CIS 576 (Network Administration and Design), CIS 578 (Network Design & Administration).
The use of CIS Virtual World is not limited to any single class or configuration. The virtual computers allow courses where the lab complexity can range from operating system installation to login control, to authentication control, to web services, all the way to establishing trusted agent connectivity with other student networks on the system. CIS Virtual World can operate machines in Windows, Linux and UNIX operating systems and can run business applications on each system, allowing its use in application development, systems analysis and design, and database focused courses. Virtual computers can be easily added or deleted each semester to allow a wide variety of courses to be offered.

WVWC adding marching band
Beginning in the fall of 2014, West Virginia Wesleyan College will once again establish marching band as a co-curricular offering on campus.
Bernie Valento, vice president for enrollment management, said, "For more than 50 years, between 1922 and 1979, marching band played an important role in enriching our college experience, and it is extremely exciting to re-establish this tradition after a 35-year absence. Our college community looks forward to the beautiful sounds and wonderful spirit that the return of marching band will bring to our
The college is in the midst of hiring a full time athletic marching band director and has begun recruiting for what is expected to be more than 35 new freshmen members to the band next fall.
John Waltz, director of admission at West Virginia Wesleyan College, stated, "Throughout the recruitment process, prospective students continuously express interest in marching band, and I am confident that the college will deliver a first class experience for these students. As a small private college, we pride ourselves on the important contributions each of our students make to our community. I see this as an incredible opportunity for students to help build something special."

Join Jay Sekulow & ACLJ In Defending American National Motto
The Freedom from Religion Foundation — one of the nation's most radical atheist organizations — has filed a federal lawsuit to remove "In God We Trust" from our nation's currency. They claim America's coins are discriminatory — could one imagine such a thing?
Yet acknowledging and respecting our nation's heritage is not "discrimination" — it's a celebration of our shared history and the Source of our liberty. At the: ACLJ, we're fighting back. Working with Members of Congress, we intend to file a critical brief defending the National Motto and the right of our nation to acknowledge God in our history and culture.
To participate in the continued fight to take back America, join: Jay Sekulow: and ACLJ by adding your name to the 60,000 who have already signed the petition.

- Title
- Tablet technology to facilitate improved interaction and communication with students studying mathematics at a distance
- Author(s)
- Galligan, Linda; Hobohm, Carola; Loch, Birgit
- Abstract
- Teaching and learning of mathematics is challenging when lecturer and students are separated geographically. While student engagement and interaction with the course, with other students and with the lecturer is vital to mathematics learning, it is difficult to facilitate this electronically, because of the nature of mathematics. With tablet technology now becoming ubiquitous and many new and inexpensive models entering the market, it is timely to investigate how the distance student experience in mathematics can be impacted by the use of tablet technologies. This paper reports on a case study of a first year mathematics course at a regional Australian university, where distance students were provided with affordable tablet PCs. An investigation of the impact of this technology on engagement and interaction is at the centre of this study. Evidence from journals, students' assessment submissions, screen snippets, student communication and formal student evaluations is analysed. It was found that distance students acknowledged the value of tablets for communicating mathematics, particularly for assignment submission and feedback, but they also recognized the potential for easier interaction with content and the lecturer. This paper highlights the specific benefits and challenges tablet PCs present to the learning experiences in mathematics within the distance context.

Burglar leaves surprise at office
ORANGE Nothing appears to have been stolen, but whoever broke into the Orange town clerks office this week left a sizable hole behind.
Town Clerk Kathy Felch said she discovered the hole when she arrived at work at 8 a.m. Wednesday and immediately called police.
According to Felch, the hole in an interior wall wasnt there when she left work Tuesday at 5 p.m., and it appears someone broke into the furnace room door and then punched a hole through a wall in a closet to get into the office.
Desk drawers were opened and the office was ransacked, but Felch said she hasnt discovered anything missing.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Trooper Darryl Cremo at 229-9191 or Vermont Crime Stoppers at 800-529-9998.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

It seems, by all evidences, that man is the only creature that can make evil artistic. Not only can we be merely evil but we add artistry to it. Consider this section from Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov.
"By the way, a Bulgarian I met lately in Moscow," Ivan went on, seeming not to hear his brother's words (Alyosha), "told me about the crimes committed by Turks and Circassians in all parts of Bulgaria through fear of a general rising of the Slavs. They burn villages, murder, outrage women and children, they nail their prisoners by the ears to fences, leave them so till morning, and in the morning they hang them–all sorts of things you can't imagine. People talk sometimes of bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel.read more »

I am wondering if anyone has an idea about this-
My son has started teething and I had some general nipple soreness just getting used to the new teeth/latch.
Now I think we have it all figured out except for on one side it feels like it is sore in the main center duct. I dont' have any soreness or tenderness on the outside, but once I compress the nipple it really hurts!
Lanolin etc, don't seem to have any affect, again, I can't seem to get it where it hurts inside.
It is not the same pain as a clogged duct, and I don't have any pain anywhere else in the breast tissue. My nipples aren't itchy or bright red and milk production is normal.
Nursing seems to aggrivate it, whereas pumping does not. I am sadly looking forward to pumping this week.
I have suffered some pretty nasty bites in the past two weeks but again I don't see any structural damage on the outside, and can't report any tenderness on the nipple or areola until I compress that middle duct.
