Cup roundup: Costa Rica stuns Uruguay, 3-1THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | June 15,2014AP PHOTO
Fans of Uruguays national soccer team hug each other as they watch World Cup match between Costa Rica and Uruguay in downtown in Montevideo, Uruguay, on Saturday.FORTALEZA, Brazil Watching from the bench, Luis Suarez saw just how much his teammates miss him.
Uruguay was overrun 3-1 Saturday by Group D underdog Costa Rica at the World Cup, a stunning result for the team that reached the semifinals four years ago and had every reason to think it could repeat that in Brazil.
Even with Suarez staying on the bench for the entire game after failing to fully recover from knee surgery, coach Oscar Tabarez fielded a side that included eight players from the 2010 team. But after going ahead through a first-half penalty, Uruguay was taken apart on counterattacks as Costa Rica scored three times in the second half to open Group D with a major upset.
We made mistakes today that we havent made for a long time. Its too early to explain this, Tabarez said. Football means that sometimes you have to lose. You cant lose heart, you just have to improve.
The Uruguayans took the lead in the 24th minute when Edinson Cavani converted a spot kick that was awarded after captain Diego Lugano tumbled to the ground with defender Junior Diaz tugging at his waist.
But after the goal, Uruguay lost the initiative and Costa Rica seen as a massive underdog in a group that also includes England and Italy fought back after the break.
Costa Ricas lone striker Joel Campbell led most of the teams counterattacks and finally delivered the equalizer in the 54th, driving in a ball headed down by Celso Borges to beat goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
Oscar Duarte dived past the outstretched foot of Uruguays Cristian Stuani to head in the winner for the Central Americans, and substitute Marcos Urena added the third with six minutes left, catching out Muslera to slot the ball in from a tight angle.
We spotted that they had weaknesses and we looked at those. We worked hard on headers and ways to dominate in the air and we did that tonight, Costa Rica coach Jorge Luis Pinto said.
The disastrous night in injury time when Maxi Pereira was sent off for a clumsy foul on Campbell.
Pereira will be suspended from the next game against England, while Tabarez said Suarezs participation for next Thursdays match in Sao Paolo is also uncertain.
Diego Forlan, the player of the tournament in 2010, took Suarezs place in attack. But in Fortaleza, the 35-year-old forward only displayed a single flash of his former greatness: Curling a deadly ball toward the Costa Rican a minute before halftime, in an effort punched out by in-form keeper Keylor Navas.
Forlan was eventually substituted on the hour for Nicolas Lodeiro.
Even without Suarez, the team doesnt need a tactical overhaul to bounce back from the defeat, Tabarez said.
Weve being playing this way for eight years. I dont see why we should do anything different right know, he said. It worked in South Africa and after that. Defense is not a dirty word.
Pinto, the Costa Rica coach, was less philosophical.
What counted is that we stayed calm and kept creating opportunities against a very tough team, Pinto said. We have great respect for Uruguay but we werent that impressed tonight.
Uruguay: Fernando Muslera, Diego Lugano, Diego Godin, Walter Gargano (Alvaro Gonzalez, 60), Cristian Rodriguez, Diego Forlan (Nicolas Lodeiro, 60), Cristian Stuani, Maxi Pereira, Egidio Arevalo, Edinson Cavani, Martin Caceres.
Costa Rica: Keylor Navas, Giancarlo Gonzalez, Michael Umana, Celso Birges, Oscar Duarte, Christian Bolanos (Michael Barrantes, 89), Joel Campbell, Bryan Ruiz (Marcos Urena, 82), Junior Diaz, Cristian Gamboa, Yeltsin Tejeda (Jose Cubero, 74).
Colombia 3, Greece 0
BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil Colombia started its first World Cup campaign in 16 years in dazzling fashion, beating Greece 3-0 to open Group C on Saturday in front of a big, loud pro-Colombian crowd.
Left back Pablo Armero opened the scoring in the fifth minute when his deflected shot rolled past Greece goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis. Striker Teofilo Gutierrez poked in Colombias second goal from a deflected corner in the 58th and James Rodriguez capped it off with a low shot in stoppage time after a slick backheel flick from Juan Cuadrado.
Colombias pace and trickery were too much for Greece to handle in the latter stages as the 57,174 crowd, most dressed in bright yellow shirts, constantly chanted Ole, ole at Estadio Mineriao.
It was a good debut with players who had never played a World Cup. Its a big satisfaction, Colombia coach Jose Pekerman said. This is how we planned this match. Some things turned out the way we wanted, some things didnt, but we were very focused and showed that were here to play a good World Cup.
Rodriguez said the result showed Colombia was on the right path.
Its a good start, but we have to be calm for whats ahead, which will be even more difficult, he said, looking ahead at Group C matches against Ivory Coast and Japan.
Greece had the majority of possession with 54 percent, but whenever Colombia players got hold of the ball, they blazed down the flanks and through the middle of the pitch, disorientating their opponents.
The Greeks had a chance to pull a goal back after Gutierrez scored, but an unmarked Georgios Samaras rattled the crossbar from two yards out.
There were other chances, too. Panagiotis Kones shot went just wide in the first half. Colombia goalkeeper David Ospina then made an outstanding reaction save to deny Kone just before halftime.
You cant make excuses when you lose 3-0, Greece coach Fernando Santos said. We had good spells of play and all we can do now is look at the next matches.
Kone said Greece didnt make the most of its possession and the chances it created.
The score doesnt show it, but I think we played well, he said. But these games are turned on the details, and they didnt work for us today. Were still proud to be here, and well continue to play hard.
Greece defenders started getting frustrated with Colombias pace in the second half and began to foul the South Americans, with two players picked up yellow cards within minutes.
The result will give Colombia confidence that it can win competitive matches without star striker Radamel Falcao, who was ruled out after failing to recover from a serious knee injury. The other Group C teams, Ivory Coast and Japan, were playing later Saturday.
Greece will now have to regroup ahead of its second match against Japan after its notoriously solid defense leaked three goals.
Italy 2, England 1
MANAUS, Brazil Mario Balotelli scored with a second-half header Saturday to give Italy a 2-1 win over England at the World Cup.
The Italy striker was left free by his marker Gary Cahill and nodded a cross from Antonio Candreva past goalkeeper Joe Hart in the 50th minute.
Claudio Marchisio scored first for Italy, sending a long shot through a crowded area and past a diving Hart in the 35th. Daniel Sturridge equalized for England two minutes later, tapping in a cross from Wayne Rooney.
The win puts Italy in a strong position to qualify for the second round, and leaves England with plenty to do in its remaining two matches.
In the other Group D match, Costa Rica beat Uruguay 3-1, giving the 2010 semifinalists a similarly difficult task to advance.
Balotelli nearly scored another in first-half injury time, running deep into the area and enticing Hart to come off his line. The Italy striker stopped, looked toward goal and sent a chip over the keepers head only for Phil Jagielka to clear by heading the ball over the bar.
Englands attack-minded lineup made frequent runs into the Italy area throughout the match, and came close to scoring several times.
The best of the chances came in the 24th when Danny Welbeck sent the ball across the front of goal but Andrea Barzagli was able to slide in and tip the ball up in the air. Raheem Sterling, who had been running in from the left, jumped for the header but couldnt reach it, letting the ball go past him as he tumbled into the net.
Italy played without the injured Gianluigi Buffon. The 36-year-old Italy goalkeeper, who can play in his fourth World Cup if he is able to recover from an ankle problem, was replaced by Salvatore Sirigu.
The PSG keeper stepped up and made several good saves, but the best may have come in the 77th when he dived to his left to block a free kick from Leighton Baines.
The match was played in the Amazonian city of Manaus, the most exotic of the 12 World Cup venues for this years tournament. According to FIFA, it was 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) with humidity at a relatively low 61 percent for the match.
While none of the players appeared to be affected by the heat, there was an injury on the England bench when team physio Gary Lewin dislocated his ankle while celebrating Sturridges goal.
England and Italy were playing each other at the World Cup for only the second time. They also met in the third-place match at the 1990 World Cup, with the Italians also winning 2-1.MORE IN Wire SportsORLANDO, Fla. Full StoryOXON HILL, Md.

I had heard that it was an ex-Chapparal Camaro also.At this race Warren was the fastest A Sedan qualifier with Sid Rust 2nd fastest. In the race, Warren and Sid had a great battle until Warren's motor broke. It appeared it would be an easy win for Sid as he had a large lead in A Sedan. But everybody forgot about David Jungerman in the Baby Tenda Camaro (ex-Walter Parkins Camaro). David started dead last and charged though the field to catch Sid Rust and go on to win A Sedan.

Residents rest under an uprooted tree used as shelter Thursday, Dec. 13, in New Bataan in Compostela province, 10 days after Typhoon Bopha roared through the Philippines.
Typhoon Bopha killed more than 900 people and left almost 80,000 others homeless in the Philippines, the government said Thursday, a week and a half after the storm devastated large parts of the southeast Asian island nation.
The death toll, which the government set Thursday at 902, is likely to rise significantly, as 934 other people remained unaccounted for. More than 2,600 people were injured.
"I am saddened and bothered by the devastation brought about by Typhoon Pablo," President Benigno Aquino III said, using the name the storm was given locally. "But it is in situations like this that our strength as a nation is measured. We will rise as one nation again."
Bopha tore through the main southern island of Mindanao on Dec. 3 before crossing the central Philippines and stalling over the South China Sea. Most of the deaths were in the Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental province on Mindanao.
Ten days later, almost 80,000 people remained in evacuation centers scattered across the islands, because Bopha destroyed 61,000 homes and seriously damaged 88,000 others, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council reported.
Watch World News videos on NBCNews.com
The United Nations issued a worldwide appeal for $65 million in aid for the Philippines, where the storm caused damage of more than 14.3 billion pesos — about $350 million.
Aquino said his government was drawing up plans for forced relocation of entire communities that are within "geohazard" areas mapped out by the national mining bureau.
"The communities will be moved to safer areas," he said, according to the Philippines Daily Inquirer. "In certain instances, we really can't wait for all the consultations to be over before we transfer them."

- Abstract
- We investigate the excitation of the 5D5/2 level in Rb atoms using counter-propagating laser beams, which are nearly resonant to the one-photon 5S1/2 → 5P3/2 and 5P3/2 → 5D5/2 transitions, ensuring that a sum of the optical frequencies corresponds to the 5S1/2 → 5D5/2 transition. The excitation produced by two-photon and stepwise processes is detected via spontaneously emitted fluorescence at 420 nm arising from the 6P3/2 → 5S1/2 transition. The dependences of blue fluorescence intensity on atomic density and laser detuning from the intermediate 5P3/2 level have been investigated. The sensitivity of the frequency-detuned bi-chromatic scheme for atom detection has been estimated. A novel method for sum-frequency stabilization of two free-running lasers has been suggested and implemented using two-photon Doppler-free fluorescence and polarization resonances.

Do you know the shortcuts to shave minutes off your commute? Or the best time to hit the deli down the street to miss the long lines of lunch hour? These are a necessary part of your day, and you want to waste as little time and energy on them as possible.
Tim Dobbins is no different. He's spent the last three years as a guide on backcountry ski trips for Alpine Skills International, and it's his job to make sure these outings run smoothly. "As a guide, I need to teach people the most efficient way to travel through terrain," he says. "It's in my best interests to keep people's energy up. You enjoy skiing more when you're not exhausted, and any time you can save energy it increases all-around safety. It's about enjoying ourselves and taking pride in our work."
Even if you can't make it out to Tahoe, you can still learn from Dobbins with these tips for efficient travel in the backcountry.

Sweeping into the night
My ratty old broom served a much better purpose Thursday night as the Pirates swept their way to an 11-1 victory over the Cubs.
In a word, the Pirates were dominant, scoring five runs in the opening frame.
The Pirates played a persistent, strong game throughout the contest. Very uncharacteristic of the lovable losers.
The three game series sweep was the Pirates first over the Cubs since August 30, 2006.
While no homeruns wer ehit in the blowout, doubles came supreme. In fact Lastings Milledge rocked a near grandslam just two feet away from me in left field. Look closely at the below picture. On the left is my arm pointing out at Alfonso Soriano.
The ball hit the top of the wall and bounced back into play. However it looked as if it would clear. Fireworks are going off, "They Hey Song" is playing, everyone thinks its a dinger. Even Milledge. He trotted around the bases and was tagged out rounding second. I cannot me too mad at him. He shouldn't be looking at the ball, the extracurricular activities led him to believe it was a home run. In the end it was just his second double of the game.
Beyond the stats and onfield play this game meant a lot more. Pride was on the line.
My WVU buddy Marc is a die-hard Cubs fan. Growing up in West Virginia the Cubs were his t-ball team. Continuing to follow his team some 15 or so years later Marc is almost like a transplanted fan from the streets of Wrigleyville. The last time I was at a game with him the Cubs scored eight runs in the first inning en route to a 14-3 beatdown. Lets just say the taste of revenge was almost as sweet.
With a handful of Cub fans around us he was in somber company and had more than enough shoulders to cry on. A lot of ribbing was going on by a pair of drunks behind us. These guys were around our age and pounding over priced beers like it was their job. They were making fun of everyone in their general area including Marc in his "Theeeeeeeriot" jersey, the charismatic ederly man with his young granddaughter and the cute West Virginia girls who we struck up a converstations with. They were dissing the Pirates left and right, had no baseball knowledge and took the joy out of me greatly. Marc was the most ticked I had ever seen him. The happy go lucky Southern boy had his fuse lit but kept his emotions in check.
After the game Marc owed me a little something. A beer. We had a bet riding on the game and we had a nice sit down at Mullens, a sports bar on Pittsburgh's North Shore. There we engaged with chats from a University of Colorado grad, numerous Cubs fans, a guy who knew Lou Pinella and this charming guy.
Communicating in sign language and written notes the guy was very nice and was bubbly to everyone in the bar. He was mute but did not let his handicap keep him from having a good time and supporting his Buccos.
From the bar we ran into Frank Coonelly, Pirates President. Nice fellow, said my name again after I introduced myself which is always a sign of respect. Now there were two pertinent messages I could have told Mr. Coonelly,
1. To read my blog! Doubt he would have but shoot I may never see him again could have at least told him about it.
2. My buddy Andrew Schuerholz was also with us, his uncle is John Schuerholz, President of the Braves. Either would have sufficed and created a great convo. But knowing Coonelly's background as an attorney I told him that Marc was interested in law school.
Speaking of Marc, he needed a pitstop on the way to the car and enjoyed the beautiful skyline of the city of Pittsburgh (recently ranked the USA's most livable city by Yahoo).
However I will leave you with a snippet of information when visiting Pittsburgh or any big city for that matter. Do not stop walking. Homeless people and creeps are always abound and danger could strike at any second. We learned that tonight. Mom and Dad if you are reading this no need to freak out. We've all seen it before and know how to handle ourselves.
Bring on Pujols and the Cardinals! The Bucs are in 3rd place!

Matt, I was very stoked for y'all's sweep, and believe me, I was rubbin it into my sCrUBS fan friends. But the party's over… cuz here come dem Redbirds, baby!!!!
Congrats on the Pirates sweeping the Cubs! It's all the more sweeter when you see your team just obliterate a hated division rival. And a great shot of the Pittsburgh skyline, I might add.
What a great victory for your wonderful Pirates. I was sitting next to a transplanted Chicagoan who totally despises the Cubs so she was thrilled about the win. Congratulations, I know you are happy.
Congrats on the sweep!!! And how cool that you ran into the Pirates' president and got to talk to him (and tell him to read your blog – lol).
Anyone who beats the Cubs are friends of mine! I couldn't believe the Milledge play. That was horrible. The look on his face in the dugout was priceless!
what happened to Lastings Milledge there?😉 lol Ya gotta hustle! Hustle hustle hustle!😄. That was a tad embarrassing. Oh well a sweep is good! (when you're on the winning side.. siigh angels got swept twice. Lookin bad!)
You just happened to run into the Pirates president. That kind of thing never happens to me! I would love to meet Arte Moreno!
I am still optimistic about how the Pirates will finish this year, more importantly at the moment I want them to beat the Cardinals…
Phillies Outside
Congrats on the sweep!🙂 Sounds like a great night out, good baseball, interesting people, and a nice story to share with everyone.🙂
When I visited Pittsburgh back in 2008, I ran into two homeless guys. One on the way to the stadium and another on our way back. We (friend Linda) and I talked to them. One was originally from Los Angeles. I don't remember now if it was the first one or the second one that had a job interview the following day.
Ever run into Troyfromwestvirginia? I met him in Pittsburgh.

Cabot women dies in Route 2 crashSubmitted photo
This image taken by a passer-by and contributed to The Times Argus shows the two vehicles involved in Saturdays double-fatal crash along Route 2 in Marshfield.
MARSHFIELD Two Cabot women died Saturday morning when their car collided head-on with a pickup truck, Vermont State Police reported.
Neither woman was wearing a seat belt, police said.
The cars driver, Holly Trombly, 28, and one of her three passengers, Jennifer Hurley, 29, were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The crash occurred around 6:50 a.m. near the Beaver Meadow Road intersection on Route 2.
Two passengers in the rear of the car, John Bates, 26, and Andrew Rivera, 22, were taken by Cabot ambulance to Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin. They were then transferred by helicopter to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H.
Their injuries were not considered life-threatening, police said. They also were not wearing seat belts, police said.
The driver of the 2001 Toyota Tundra truck, Nathaniel Smith, 26, of Cabot, was wearing a seat belt and did not report any injuries, police said.
Trombleys 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier was passing a vehicle that was in its lane when the crash occurred, said Trooper Jacob Metayer, who led the investigation of the accident.
Metayer said the car was speeding and that improper passing was a factor.
Police said the Cavalier was destroyed and the Tundra sustained front-end damage.
Resident Nora Straight said she heard the crash from her home. She called in the accident to 911 and helped direct traffic in the moments afterward.
Part of Route 2 was closed for about four hours Saturday morning.
Responding to the crash scene were fire and emergency crews from Marshfield, Plainfield, Cabot, East Montpelier and Barre Town.
Plainfield Fire Chief Patrick Martin said emergency officials hold a critical-incident stress debriefing after incidents like the one Saturday. A debriefing is scheduled for Monday evening.MORE IN Central Vermont

Tarpon and Silversides, Grand Cayman
Photograph by Mike Sutton Brown, Your Shot
The picture was taken at Eden Rock, Grand Cayman. For just a short time every year these silversides swarm caves and swim-throughs at Cayman's dive sites. The picture was taken late afternoon just as the sun was going down. I was hiding behind the silversides, low in the rocks. As the tarpon swam through the silversides, they eventually saw me and turned away. Just like you see in the picture.

Autumn colors are a beautiful subject to shoot. This place has a special aura all year long, but at autumn it reveals its best.
I used a tripod standing in cold water. There were a few moments when I could have slipped in the water from slick rocks, but glad it didn't happen.

Sunset flares over Thunder Lake, one of 14 small lakes on the Red Lake Reservation managed by the tribal fisheries department. It feeds Red Lake, sacred to the Chippewa and once again thick with walleyes—fish with a glassy stare revered for their sweet, snowy flesh. By 1996 decades of overfishing had decimated the Red Lake fishery. Tribal, state, and federal agencies, along with the University of Minnesota, cooperated to set up a management plan. Fishing was suspended. Walleye fry were stocked. In less than ten years the fish population exploded from 200,000 to eight million, and tribal members were allowed to resume commercial fishing.

Interest, access to shale surges in countries around the world
If Vladimir Putin seems a little grumpy lately, there is probably good reason: Russia is losing its grip on Europe's natural gas supply. Suddenly, markets for natural gas that underpin Russia's lucrative energy business are beginning to slip away.
Thanks to horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (fracing) methods that are radically reshaping world energy production, two countries that have been subjected to Russia's economic and political pressure for decades – Poland and Ukraine – now have an alternative source of natural gas that could bring them energy independence. Natural gas from their own shale deposits thousands of feet beneath the ground which they are preparing to drill with equipment and expertise provided by U.S. oil and gas companies, should soon begin making its way to market.
Developed largely in the United States, the innovative technologies for horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracing could open the flood gates to unconventional oil and natural gas production in countries that heretofore have not been big energy producers. Shale gas reserves in Poland and Ukraine rival those in France, estimated to be Europe's largest at 180 trillion cubic feet. While France currently has a ban on fracing, that could change if the country decides to reduce its reliance on high-cost nuclear power and coal used in its production of electricity.
Over the past two years, there has been a surge of interest in shale resources in other countries such as Great Britain, Argentina, Brazil, China, Kazakhstan and India. World shale resources are so large that economists foresee a significant drop in oil and gas prices as the market for shale resources grows. Currently natural gas prices in Europe are three times as much as those in the United States, and in Asia they are five times as much.
The shale-gas explosion has huge geopolitical implications that are just beginning to unfold. As exploitation of oil and gas in shale increases in the United States and gets under way in Europe and other regions, the source of oil and gas wealth is shifting from producers of conventional oil and gas like Russia and OPEC countries to those with shale deposits.
The Russian response to these developments has been striking. The price of Russian natural gas exports to Poland has dropped dramatically in a bid to stave off drilling for shale gas and make it uneconomical. Gazprom, Russia's state-owned energy company, sent the Ukrainians a $7 billion bill for unused Russian natural gas.
Although it may be a decade before shale gas is produced in significant volumes in either Poland or Ukraine, the geopolitics of energy are changing unmistakably, whether Vladimir Putin likes it or not. Reduced reliance on Russian gas will allow Poland and Ukraine to strengthen their economic and political ties with the United States and Western Europe.
It is unfortunate that our own government is not making the most of this new energy calculus by committing itself to greater production and use of shale resources. Here in the United States, shale energy development has produced an economic bonanza. Barely a blip on the radar screen a decade ago, shale gas output now accounts for roughly 35 percent of total U.S. natural gas production while domestic oil production has reached its highest level in 20 years. Aside from the tax revenue it generates, U.S. shale energy development supports 1.7 million jobs and is poised to support another 1.3 million by the end of this decade. As a result, Ohio should enjoy several decades of abundant shale-gas and oil development and economic growth.
The Obama Administration is slowly coming around to see the game-changing impact that shale development can have on U.S. energy supply and demand and the economy. However, while it has provided technical and regulatory assistance to nations looking to jumpstart shale-energy programs of their own, the Administration has been slow to pursue similar policies at home. In fact, it is considering more federal regulations on drilling and fracing even though companies are using new technologies and cooperating with state regulators to ensure that the perceived negative impact on the environment is kept to a minimum.
Unfortunately, the Administration has also placed most of our federal lands off-limits to shale production and embraced other policies that ultimately weaken our ability to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. For example, it is slow-walking action on applications from U.S. companies seeking licenses to export domestically-produced natural gas to Europe and Asia.
Now is the time for Americans to call on Congress and the Administration to embrace shale drilling and seek a greater reliance on the use of natural gas as the fuel of choice for electricity generation and transportation. We have an opportunity to simultaneously free ourselves from our dependence on foreign oil, stimulate the domestic economy, improve our balance of trade with the world, and reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality.

|Construction of the $12 million retaining wall is still ongoing. The parking lot and the facility abut the waters of San Francisco Bay.
SAN QUENTIN, Calif. - San Quentin celebrated its 150th anniversary with visiting speakers, tours, and music. More than 2,000 people attended the July 6 event, giving current and former employees and visiting officials a chance to enjoy the vistas and ocean air of San Francisco Bay.
Joe De Patta, assistant editor for Correctional News, enjoyed the chance to catch up with former colleagues at the prison, where he once worked as a governmental program analyst. Meanwhile, Editor Jay Schneider and Assistant Editor Morgan Jones joined a tour of the facility lead by Sgt. Eric Messick, administrative aide to current Warden Jeanne Woodford.
|Crowds gathered outside San Quentin's main entrance to commemorate the prison's longevity. Invited guests were given tours of the infamous 150-year-old facility, viewed an awards presentation, and were able to purchase San Quentin memorabilia.

With the majority of prisoners locked down, a variety of tours ran throughout the day at the 6,000-bed facility. The editors viewed the recently completed cell block supports that are part of current earthquake retrofit efforts. Sgt. Messick was able to point to still visible cracks created by the Bay Area's 1989 quake, recalling that large chunks of concrete littered some yard areas. In addition, a $12 million retaining wall is being created on the shoreline to fight erosion.
According to Sgt. Messick, a campaign is underway to achieve historic landmark status for murals lining the dining halls. Depicting scenes from California's history and the post-World World II era, the murals were painted by inmates starting in the 1940s as one of the innovative rehabilitation programs initiated by Warden Clinton Duffy.

Courthouse security improves
NEW CUMBERLAND – Entering the Hancock County Courthouse will soon be a little more involved than walking through the front door.
Starting Feb. 3, courthouse visitors will encounter armed guards, an X-ray machine and a walk-through metal detector before they are able to enter the courthouse to conduct their business.
The new secure entrance, under construction since November, will bring the courthouse into conformance with modern security standards, Hancock County commissioners said.
"Basically, it's going to work like any airport or courthouse around here," said Robert Vidas, executive director of the county's Office of Technology and Communications.
On Wednesday, commissioners approved the hiring of Jail Administrator Thomas Cox as the new courthouse security administrator effect Feb. 3. The jail administrator position will be eliminated, Sheriff Ralph Fletcher said.
Cox will be responsible for scheduling and courthouse liaison duties for the sheriff's department's new civilian division – 15 part-time officers who will serve as courtroom bailiffs and courthouse security officers.
"It's going to create a good bit of work," Fletcher told commissioners.
Fletcher is staffing the civilian division primarily with retired officers or deputies who want to continue working in law enforcement, albeit on a part-time basis.
Two officers in gray blazers will staff the courthouse entrance at any one time – one for the X-ray machine and one to operate the hand-held scanner, Vidas said.
When visitors first enter the courthouse, they will be asked to put their belongings on a set of rollers that will take them through the X-ray machine. Scanned items will be visible on a computer monitor, Vidas said.
While the items are being checked, visitors will be asked to step through a metal detector, known as a magnetometer. If the alarm sounds, visitors also will be checked with a hand-held scanner before they are sent on their way, into the main courthouse hallway.
The new security system also is boosting the number of video cameras from one to four, Vidas said. Funding for the equipment came from a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), Vidas said. The grant required a $90,000 match from county commissioners, he said.
The county's portion paid for the construction of the new entrance by Trushel Construction of Weirton, whose bid of $106,800 was accepted by commissioners in September.
Vidas said the entire COPS grant was not used, so the balance will be returned to the grant pool for future use.
The Hancock County election and voter registration offices will move back to their former locations, adjacent to the new entrance, by the end of the month, Vidas said.
Also Wednesday, commissioners:
Approved a change to the Hancock County Parks and Recreation Board bylaws, whereby each of the three magisterial districts in the county – Butler, Clay, Grant – will have at least one member on the board. The bylaws formerly said that no more than three members should come from a single district.

Former DGX manager admits in court: "There's no justification for what I did"
"There's no justification for what I did, give me what I deserve and I am not asking for leniency." That was the admission made in court by former DGX station manager, Crystal Te'o who embezzled more than $132,000 from the Dependable Global Express (DGX) Company.
The sentencing hearing held last Friday was presided over by Chief Justice Michael Kruse, where Te'o of Pago Pago was charged with two counts of embezzlement. She entered a guilty plea to both counts.
Each embezzlement charge carries a jail-term of up to seven years and/or a fine of $5,000 — or a fine equal to twice the amount gained from the crime up to $20,000 — or both fine and imprisonment.
Te'o took issue with the pre-sentence report prepared by the probation office. She told the court it was not fair for the probation office to note she didn't show any sign of remorse, which was an assumption.
Te'o added she's fully remorseful, and not a day passes she doesn't think about her actions and how remorseful she is.
She apologized to the DGX company for putting their faith and hope in her and yet she "burned them". This is an embarrassment and yet it's something that she'll have to live with given her actions, she told the court.
Te'o apologized to her parents and said she wished this would not have a reflection on her parents because it does not reflect them.
She also apologized to her two daughters who were present in the court, saying "mommy was foolish and selfish and I'm sorry for hurting you, and I can't take my actions back but I'm willing to make amends."
"Mommy's got to go in (to jail) and come out a better person and I'm doing this for you."
"I love you both and I'm really sorry," she added.
The defendant also apologized to her siblings, noting that even though she was not a nice person she was trying, and her siblings have been by her side since she was arrested.
To the court she said, "There's no justification for what I did, give me what I deserve and I am not asking for leniency."
The defendant also apologized to the tax payers of American Samoa.
Assistant Public Defender Mike White told the court he has nothing much to add, given the defendant's admission, however he made it clear that Te'o is remorseful of her actions, because from day one she said that she's ready to accept responsibility for her actions.
Assistant Attorney General Cable Poag recommended the defendant be jailed and also placed on probation so she can pay restitution in the amount of $132,245.94, the money she embezzled from DGX.
Chief Justice Michael Kruse noted that upon deliberation with Chief Associate Judge Logoai Siaki and Associate Judge Fa'amausili Pomele a difficult question came up.
Kruse noted the defendant embezzled more than $132,000 and yet she told the probation office that she will not be able to pay back the money.
Kruse told the government "don't give a meaningless gesture to the court".
He told Assistant AG Poag that there were cases in previous years where defendants were placed on probation with a condition to pay restitution, and those women ended up back in jail, because they could not pay the money back.
Poag told the court that the defendant has a responsibility to pay back the money she embezzled. The defendant's lawyer, Mike White told the court the defendant can make some type of payment.
The Chief Justice again told the government don't make meaningless sentencing submissions. Kruse then moved to continue the matter and said the government should come up with a more meaningful sentence recommendation.
The Chief Justice then scheduled the sentencing for this coming Friday, August 10, 2012. According to the plea agreement between the defendant and the government Te'o agreed to pay restitution back to the DGX Company.
According to the government's case, defendant Te'o had been employed by DGX from June 2009 to April 6, 2012 and a complaint was filed by the current DGX station manager Alvina Savali with police.
Savali told police that when she took over the defendant's position, she was contacted by various businesses claiming outstanding balances for services transacted by Te'o.
According to court filings, the station managers for DGX must seek approval to route a request for payment through the corporate office so that the proper fund transfers may be made to cover the expenses. However, Te'o did not seek approval from the corporate office for the expenses. Evidence received by police brought the total amount embezzled to over $132,000.

Riley would take over coaching before trading him. If LeBron would still be unhappy, he is f***ed.
Don't want this tool. I'd take Eddy Curry over him.
Ugh its grosses me out that im even talking about this but Alan Hahn brought it up on Twitter, not me. and I thought it would make for some good disscusion.
Alan Hahn brought up the Idea...

Just tossing it out there, but if LeBron isn't happy in Miami, the Knicks would probably be willing to take the sloppy seconds.Let's just say MIA gets Eddy Curry (need a center), Gallo (SF) and Toney Douglas +$3M for LeBron. Send AR to IND for 1st Rd pick to sweeten.
Personally I dont want him. **** LeBron. He made his bed now let him lay in it and get raped. I would take Melo over this ****er any day.

Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Not going to get Lebron for Gallinari and Eddy Curry...You'll get James Jones for that package.
No chance though they trade Lebron or Wade anyway since the other team would pretty much have to trade their whole team to get that one player. They'll have nothing else to build around.
Plus its 20 games in...they are 1.5 games out of 3rd place. I would give it 2-3 years before we hear any rumors about 1 of the big 3 getting traded.
The Knicks need to hold steady, wait to see if they can get Melo and if not, what alternatives are available...

This is what happens when players hold too much leverage and play GM. Instead of building a well rounded team with complimentary players, the league let Lebron dictate his own terms. Lebron foolishly thought it was a good ideas to throw together talent with no thought for roles, chemistry and positional consideration. The roster is now severely flawed and capped out. I am sure they will find a way to compete but I am loving Lebron's struggles. Maybe his ego will come back down to earth now...
BTW, I don't want Lebron any longer. He is an ego maniac and does not seem to be a winner. I also agree that Riley will take over way before they blow up that roster.

Realistically, Riley isn't going to give up on the concept of the big 3 until the end of the season. If they are at .500 then you have to think that Bosh would be moved to create some cap room to bring in some better complementary players.
Glad we didn't get Bosh, overpaid paid role player that like Colangelo said didn't lead for s**t up in Toronto. We got Amare for a lot less and he gives you those intangibles like leadership that you need to win.
None of them will be traded anytime soon. Let them rot over there in Miami with the worst fans in the NBA.
Sign Melo in the offseason and beat Miami in the playoffs every year.
And all of the Knick fans that wanted to gut the team for Melo now should look closely at Miami. Depth, role players and a strong bench are just as important as having stars. We wait a year and sign Melo this summer and compete for a championship next year.
I dont understand why I can post Youtube videos properly on this site. If I use the URL it is blank and if I use the embed code it does what you see above. NAy suggestions?
BTW, I am using the YT button and pasting the code in between. If I paste the URL of the video it is blank. Thanks.
the funny thing is... and i brought this up over the summer is that wade would be the first to go because of his injury prone a$$
i dont want no parts of him though. he will probably get traded to chi town or orlando

June 13, 1995: Astronomers using the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT), flown aboard the Shuttle ASTRO-2 mission, have been able to exclude one explanation for the mysterious far ultraviolet background radiation that existed when the universe was young. They find that starburst galaxies -- galaxies forming new stars at an extremely high rate -- were largely opaque to the UV radiation from hot newborn stars embedded within them. Contrary to earlier ideas, this means that starburst galaxies did not contribute significantly to heating, or ionizing, the early universe.See the rest:

Well, I don't know how many official resettlement agencies there are. I think there were nine a few years ago when I checked. And they are things like Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities or whatever the names are and the Red Cross and things like that. But there is one government entity that is a resettlement agency and that is the state of Iowa. Nothing, there's no other state like that; there's no city like that. I mean, you know, 99 percent of the people in Iowa don't even know this. And it's one of the things we ought to just be immensely proud of. We ought to be publicizing constantly and saying, "Isn't this great? Look at us. Look at our role in the world." No state has ever done anything like we do. No state is an official resettlement agency.

PITTSBURGH, PA – The Allegheny County Airport Authority today announced the launch of a pilot program to allow overnight guests of Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh International Airport to go to the AIRMALL for shopping and dining at Pittsburgh International Airport.
"We are eager to launch this new program and are working closely with the Hyatt and the Transportation Security Administration to ensure that all security measures are followed and that Hyatt guests can take advantage of our world-renowned AIRMALL," explained Kent G. George, Executive Director/CEO, Allegheny County Airport Authority.
"This is an exciting time for Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh International Airport. To be able to present our registered hotel guests an option to access the airport and all of its wonderful amenities without being a ticketed passenger is an unprecedented offering," said Paul Devitt, general manager, Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh International Airport. "We have received full support from the Allegheny County Airport Authority and we look forward to seeing the results which will not only benefit our hotel guests, but the concessionaires and Pittsburgh International Airport."
"We are thrilled to be able to offer Hyatt guests more choices and quality selections at guaranteed street pricing. As a leader in airport concessions and customer service, the AIRMALL welcomes guests of Hyatt and is working with the Airport Authority to encourage this program's success," stated Jay Kruisselbrink, Vice President of Development, BAA Pittsburgh.
Hotel guests will be screened along with ticketed passengers at the security check point, and will need to follow the guidelines for prohibited items and the restrictions on liquids and gels. Information about the program will be distributed to guest rooms at the Hyatt. Guests will need to let the front desk know they are interested in shopping at the AIRMALL. The Airport Authority would then verify the guests' identification and provide them with a non-flyer pass to present at the security checkpoint. This pilot program is also underway at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and at Detroit Metro Airport.
"The Airport Authority has been interested in allowing non-flyers access to the AIRMALL for some time. Though the scope of this program is more limited than our original plan, we view it as an important step in promoting quality customer service while also meeting our high security requirements," said George.

Carbohydrates often get a bad rap, especially when it comes to weight gain. But carbohydrates aren't all bad. Because of their numerous health benefits, carbohydrates have a rightful place in your diet. In fact, your body needs carbohydrates to function well. But some carbohydrates may be better for you than are others. Understand more about carbohydrates and how to choose healthy carbohydrates.
Understanding carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are a type of macronutrient found in many foods and beverages. Most carbohydrates are naturally occurring in plant-based foods, such as grains. Food manufacturers also add carbohydrates to processed foods in the form of starch or added sugar.
Common sources of naturally occurring carbohydrates include:
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Milk
- Nuts
- Grains
- Seeds
- Legumes
Types of carbohydrates
There are three main types of carbohydrates:
- Sugar. Sugar is the simplest form of carbohydrates. Sugar occurs naturally in some foods, including fruits, vegetables, milk and milk products. Sugars include fruit sugar (fructose), table sugar (sucrose) and milk sugar (lactose).
- Starch. Starch is a complex carbohydrate, meaning it is made of many sugar units bonded together. Starch occurs naturally in vegetables, grains, and cooked dry beans and peas.
- Fiber. Fiber also is a complex carbohydrate. Fiber occurs naturally in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and cooked dry beans and peas.
More carbohydrate terms: Net carbs and glycemic index
Terms such as "low carb" or "net carbs" often appear on product labels, but the Food and Drug Administration doesn't regulate these terms, so there's no standard meaning. Typically net carbs is used to mean the amount of carbohydrates in a product excluding fiber or excluding both fiber and sugar alcohols.
You probably have also heard talk about the glycemic index. The glycemic index classifies carbohydrate-containing foods according to their potential to raise your blood sugar level.
Weight-loss diets based on the glycemic index typically recommend limiting foods that are higher on the glycemic index. Foods with a relatively high glycemic index ranking include potatoes and corn, and less healthy options such as snack foods and desserts that contain refined flours. Many healthy foods, such as whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits and low-fat dairy products, are naturally lower on the glycemic index.
How many carbohydrates do you need?
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that carbohydrates make up 45 to 65 percent of your total daily calories. So, if you get 2,000 calories a day, between 900 and 1,300 calories should be from carbohydrates. That translates to between 225 and 325 grams of carbohydrates a day.
You can find the carbohydrate content of packaged foods on the Nutrition Facts label. The Nutrition Facts label shows total carbohydrates, which includes starches, fiber, sugar alcohols, and naturally occurring and added sugars. It may also list total fiber, soluble fiber and sugar separately. You may also be able to find nutrient calculators online or find information on a manufacturer's website.
Carbohydrates and your health
Despite their bad rap, carbohydrates are vital to your health for a number of reasons.
Providing energy
Your body uses carbohydrates as its main fuel source. Sugars and starches are broken down into simple sugars during digestion. They're then absorbed into your bloodstream, where they're known as blood sugar (blood glucose). From there, the glucose enters your body's cells with the help of insulin. Glucose is used by your body for energy, fueling all of your activities, whether it's going for a jog or simply breathing. Extra glucose is stored in your liver, muscles and other cells for later use or is converted to fat.
Protecting against disease
Some evidence suggests that whole grains and dietary fiber from whole foods help reduce your risk of cardiovascular diseases. Fiber may also protect against obesity and type 2 diabetes. Fiber is also essential for optimal digestive health.
Controlling weight
Evidence shows that eating plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains can help you control your weight. Their bulk and fiber content aids weight control by helping you feel full on fewer calories. Contrary to what low-carb diets claim, very few studies show that a diet rich in healthy carbohydrates leads to weight gain or obesity.

July 4, 2005: NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured the dramatic effects of the collision early July 4 between an 820-pound projectile released by the Deep Impact spacecraft and comet 9P/Tempel 1. This sequence of images READ: Junior version of this article Learn about this story in the Star Witness, a science newspaper available on our sister site, Amazing Space. shows the comet before and after the impact. The visible-light images were taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys' High Resolution Camera.See the rest:
The observations by the Deep Impact camera and the Hubble telescope complement each other. The camera aboard the Deep Impact spacecraft will provide a close-up view of the comet, from more than 300 miles away. The Hubble telescope, from its distance 80 million miles away, will capture a wider view of the encounter. The difference between the views from Hubble and the Deep Impact spacecraft is like that between a satellite image of a hurricane and a photo from the center of the storm. Hubble also will continue to monitor the comet's activities for several days after the event.
"This is like opening a time capsule," said Paul Feldman, professor of physics and astronomy at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. "Some of the material near the comet's surface is released as the comet is blasted by the Sun's heat each time it makes its rounds through the solar system. But the NASA Deep Impact mission is like forcibly taking a can opener to the comet. This is our first view deep inside the heart of a comet. We hope this event will give us information on this comet's makeup and will open a window onto our early solar system."
Hubble had a difficult task in following the small comet. The telescope had to track the speedy comet like a photographer taking pictures of a car race. The Advanced Camera for Surveys' high-resolution camera snaps an image a minute for 10 to 15 minutes before the telescope's view was blocked as it circled Earth.
Tempel 1's nucleus, a potato-shaped object that is 8.7 miles (14 kilometers) wide and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) long, is so small and so far away that even the Hubble telescope can not see it. The telescope did see the inner cloud of dust and gas enshrouding the nucleus. Spotting the Tempel 1 nucleus was as difficult as seeing a potato in Salt Lake City from a distance as far away as New York City. "Hubble is critical to this mission," Feldman said. "When the mission planners selected an impact time, they made sure that Hubble would be able to see the event."
Besides hopefully witnessing the crash, Hubble will also monitor the plume of debris kicked up from the impact. "Some of the gases expected to be released, such as carbon monoxide, carbon, and sulfur, can best be seen in ultraviolet light," Feldman explained. These gases come from ices that condensed out of the cloud of material from which the solar system formed and are part of the makeup of all comets.
Hubble will study the expected plume of dust and gas that may be ejected from the surface of the comet and from below its surface as a result of the impact. By analyzing the Hubble observations, astronomers will determine the speed of the ejected material, how far the plume extends into space, and something about its chemical makeup. Hubble's observations will include images taken in visible light, as well as images and spectra taken in ultraviolet light. Some of the gases expected to be released, such as carbon monoxide, carbon, and sulfur, can best be seen in ultraviolet light. These gases come from ices that condensed out of the cloud of material from which the solar system formed.
Comets are thought to be "dirty snowballs," porous agglomerations of ice and rock that dwell in the frigid outer boundaries of our solar system. Periodically, they make their journey into the inner solar system as they loop around the Sun. Comets are relics of our early solar system, chunks of leftover material from the formation of the planets. Locked beneath the comet's surface is pristine material that astronomers want to study to learn how our solar system formed.
