The EAGLE autorouter is a great way to get your simpler designs routed quickly and cleanly! Use the autorouter to route whole designs, start new designs, finish pre-routed designs, or even just to test how routable your component placement may be.
The autorouter can be guided by adjusting its cost factors to control its routing behavior producing useful results in no time. The Autorouter protects prerouted traces giving you full control over what nets need to be manually routed and which can be routed automatically.
New since Version 7
The autorouter can run multiple configurations simultaneously. The user is able to select the best outcome that accommodates his/her design. On computers with multiple core processors each thread can run on its own processor core. This optimizes EAGLE's use of the available hardware.
The new autorouter includes the option to use our TopRouter. This intricate process will result in boards with significantly less points of transition compared to our previous algorithm. This means very cost effective boards that will need less manual interaction by the end user.

Fantasy Guru Daily: 5/4/11
Hurry up and wait! That is how we would describe the idea of an expedited hearing. While we are waiting, some news continues to trickle in pertaining to a possible major trade and players holding their own workouts at local high schools and colleges.
Motion for expedited appeal granted … by 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which set June 3 as the date for arguments to begin in St. Louis. The league requested the expedited appeal and the process of briefs begins with the league's opening brief due on May 9. The players must respond on May 20 with the league responding to that on May 26. Although the hearing is still just under a month away, that is considered very quick in comparison to the usual process, which according to Clerk Michael Gans, wouldn't take place until October or November. The ruling on the appeal, based on it being expedited, could come down in mid-June. The lockout remains on after the court granted an expedited stay last Friday, but that could be lifted (or remain) based on the court's ruling of a full stay, which could come as early as Wednesday.
Trade expected to send Kolb to Arizona … according [...]

The accusation was over hurtful words. On Thursday, it was Rep. Faye Hanohano who was hurting.
The incident happened on Monday at Rep. Faye Hanohano's office.
The exhibition staff for the Arts in Public Places program was installing artwork, and the representative asked why there was none from Native Hawaiians.
But staff from the Foundation of Culture and the Arts said they were stunned into silence when Hanohano used racial slurs to say any work done by Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese and Caucasians should be taken away.
They claim she then went on to threaten to cut the foundation's funding if they didn't provide Hawaiian artwork.
"We all know there is no place in the whole of the U.S. for this, especially here in Hawaii where everyone gets along," said Eva Laird Smith of the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
Smith met with House Speaker Joe Souki and was assured there would be corrective action.
"They realized there is no place for prejudice of that sort," said Smith.
In her floor speech, Hanohano used the Hawaiian Word of the Day to try and make it all right.
"Today's word is mihi, which means to apologize and I humbly who may have been offended," Hanohano said.
"Let me re-affirm my commitment to all of you that I will to serve my people and the people of the state of Hawaii to the best of my ability and integrity and for the honor and integrity of my Kupuna. Mihi, apologize," Hanohano said.
Hanohano's staffers say the lawmaker had planned to say more and wanted to release a statement about what happened but House speaker Joe Souki's office wouldn't allow it.
Her speech came after a majority caucus on Thursday, and this afternoon a Republican lawmaker offered his support.
"I firmly believe in the aloha spirit. It comes time to extend aloha when they sincerely apologize for a mistake they made, and I think this is one of those moments," said Minority Whip Rep. Richard Fale.
But now some are questioning whether what Hanohano said was enough, and some are calling for her to step down.
Speaker Souki released a statement saying he does not condone this type of offensive language.
Hanohano will be sending a letter of apology to the exhibit team.
She indicated she was trying to support Native Hawaiian artists, but did not express it appropriately.

I tried BF my DS1 when he was born, but he refused to latch at all. I gave up trying after a while. When my DS2 was born, he latched well and at 6 weeks old we are doing well. My DS1 is now 16 months old still takes a bottle of milk in the evening and I've wondered if there would be health benefits for him if I gave him expressed breast milk instead of cows milk? So, does anyone know are there health benefits or is it too late for him to receive any benefits getting only 4-6oz a day?
I'm not comfortable with trying to start him BF now, but I would like to give him my milk if it will be helpful to his development.
If it is, my next question would be how to go about it. My supply is equal to my DS2's demand. I've thought about pumping inbetween feedings in the morning when my supply seems to be higher, but I worry about the quality going done for the next feeding of my DS2. Is this a good idea, or is there a better idea of how to express an extra 4-6 oz a day?
Thanks for your help.

- Abstract
- Hydroxyapatite/polymer composite coatings of different volume ratios were produced using a Plastic Flame Spray (PFS) system. The intent of this processing is to obtain a coating with an optimal combination of biological and mechanical properties of these two materials for skeletal implants. The composite coatings were produced with a mechanical blend of EMMA and hydroxyapatite powder from a fluidized bed powder feeder. Characterization was conducted by scanning electron microscopy on the surface morphology, polished cross-sections and fracture surface morphology of the coatings. The bioactivity of the coatings was evaluated with a calcium ion meter, and the stress-strain behavior was investigated by tensile testing. The biological and mechanical properties were found to be related to the volume and the distribution of the hydroxyapatite in the polymer matrix.

Multiplex: Chapter 14 is now available!
Saturday, May 28, 2016
Multiplex: Chapter 14 is now available! If you're a Kickstarter or Patreon backer, you have already been notified about this, but for those of you who aren't, you can get it from Gumroad superfast, or you can get it from the Multiplex Store. Either way supports the continued creation of Multiplex.
In Multiplex: Chapter 14, Jason reads a book while the Flickhead and Multiplex crews play more video games. This is some heavy shit here, broh! This volume collects strips #287–310 from the Multiplex archives, plus five bonus comics not found online!
I've probably mentioned this before, but I hope to continue making new Multiplex comics for these collections at about the same pace as the regular comic (two a week) over at Patreon, and then releasing the eBook collections with this material every 4–6 weeks or so. (And then funding a print collection through Kickstarter after all of the bonus material is finished — rather than funding the creation of that new material with the Kickstarter as I've done for the first three books.)
So just because the strip will be finished doesn't mean Multiplex is going to disappear entirely!

A federal grand jury returned a four count indictment Thursday against Pearl City resident Ray K. Yokoyama, 52, for producing, distributing and possessing child pornography, according to the Department of Justice.
According to the indictment and other court filings, Yokoyama produced child
pornography using a minor on two occasions in 2009, distributed child pornography over an Internet file-sharing network in July 2012, and possessed child pornography in January 2013.
Yokoyama was previously charged in a criminal complaint on Jan. 18. According to an affidavit filed in support of the complaint, the Federal Bureau of Investigation initiated an investigation after an undercover agent in Dallas downloaded child pornography from a computer in Hawaii.
Agents traced the computer's Internet Protocol address to Yokoyama's home in Pearl City, and executed a search warrant for the residence.
Agents recovered computer storage media, including a disk that contained images of a minor boy engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
The grand jury indictment contains two charges that Yokoyama produced child pornography, one charge that he distributed child pornography, and one charge that he possessed images, including those of a minor under the age of 12 years.
Each production charge carries a minimum penalty of 15 years imprisonment, and up to 30 years of imprisonment, as well as the possibility of lifetime supervised release. The distribution and possession charges each carry a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
Yokoyama has been detained since his arrest on Jan. 18.

Following the path cut by other luxury carmakers, Jaguar and Land Rover are gearing up for a full scale assault on the Chinese market. Despite a cooling international market, the Chinese have a strong appetite for foreign luxury cars and Jaguar/Land Rover want a piece of the action.
Earlier this year there were reports that Jaguar and Land Rover owner, Tata Motors, would invest heavily in the two brands in order to improve their sales. It was also revealed that Tata was considering options for assembly and localization of selected Jaguar Land Rover products in China.
But it's not easy getting a foothold in the Chinese market, you can't just roll in and build a manufacturing plant. According to the Chinese law, you need to have a local partner. Which leaves JLR looking at possible joint ventures. Apparently, JLR has decided to form a partnership with Chery, and the two companies are already seeking approval from local authorities to go ahead with their business plan.

Blooming AgavesMore plant news from the North Campus. Recently some of our blue lotus agaves, Agave ceslii 'Nova', have begun to bloom. This is an impressive sight as these plants send forth long spikes, (between four and six feet long), that look a lot like giant asparagus stalks. This type of agave is monocarpic, meaning that it only flowers once, and this particular selection happens to flower at a relatively young age compared to other species. Incidentally, the genus is commonly called century plant because it can take decades for them to flower. The entire stand of this agave (approximately eight plants) is flowering at the same time, because they were all propagated from the same tissue culture, which is a common nursery practice for certain landscape plants. Although flowering signals the end of the plant's lifespan, we can expect to enjoy the flowers and fruits for the next several months!

BalletMet's "The American Songbook," an evening of stage performance set to American standards, isn't just the same old song and dance. In fact, in the world premiere of choreographer Stella Kane's "Before the Dawn," old song meets new dance.
Kane, the director of dance at Otterbein University, chose music from the current repertoire of the Columbus Gay Men's Chorus for her piece.
"I love Cole Porter and was instantly drawn to those titles. As I listened to other songs on the list, the piece started to fall into place," she said.
With help from CGMC director Tim Sarsany, Kane set the work in a supper club in the 1930s or '40s, a place "that could come straight from one's dreams," she said. BalletMet dancers will share the stage with 13 chorus members.
"They are part of the scene," Kane said. "I think the give-and-take of the energy between singers and dancers will be a huge positive for both the dancers, singers and the audience."
"The American Songbook" also includes a first-in-Columbus performance of Amy Seiwert's Patsy Cline tribute, "Dear Miss Cline" and Darrel Grand Moultrie's 2010 Sammy Davis Jr. salute "Simply Sammy."

The T-shirt is a play on words, but says everything you need to know about the push to make Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o the first all-defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy.
"Basically, it just says Heisman phonetically, and it just means Hawaii's man," said Buti Groove owner BJ Sabate, who's company printed another six dozen T-shirts Monday after Notre Dame's win over USC.
The back of the navy blue T-shirt says "HI's Man," with Teo's number 5 highlighted in gold. Buti Groove is selling the shirts online and at it's store on Piikoi Street for $25.
Sabate believes fans are snapping up shirts as quickly as the Laie native stops running backs because of the Te'o's outstanding play and his commitment to faith and family.
"What impresses us is just how humble he is and how much he works as a team," said Sabate. "Everybody loves and appreciates what he does and how he represents Hawaii."
In September, Te'o grabbed national headlines when his grandmother and girlfriend passed away in the week leading up to the game against Michigan State. Te'o honored two of the most important women in his life by suiting up with his teammate and registering 12 tackles.
That kind of dedication and work ethic is not lost on Te'o's former head football coach at Punahou School, Kale Ane, who won a state championship with Te'o in 2008.
"He made everybody around him better, and I'm not surprised by how well he's doing," Ane told KITV4. "He's had to deal with a lot of pressure and tremendous expectations, and he's always been grounded enough to deal with it and know what he can and can't do."
According to a USA Today survey of Heisman voters, Te'o is in second place to freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M.
However, knowing Te'o like he does, Ane believes the 21-year-old is more concerned about winning a national BCS championship than accumulating personal accolades.
"I think he'd be the first to tell you that it's team first, and to be No. 1 at the end of the year would be the crowning achievement for him," said Ane.
Finalists for the 78th Annual Heisman Memorial Trophy will be announced Dec. 3 in New York City. The winner will be awarded the trophy Dec. 8 at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square.
"I think it's going to be close, but I think the local boy is going to win," said Ane.
Buti Groove is donating $5 of every Manti T-shirt it sells to the Hawaii chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Te'o's girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, died of leukemia only a few months after a car crash earlier led to the diagnosis.
Manti Mania captures Hawaii
The T-shirt is a play on words, but says everything you need to know about the push to make Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o the first all-defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy.

SHEPHERDSTOWN – Potomac Edison and Monongahela Power customers upset about issues with their electric bills made their concerns heard before the West Virginia Public Service Commission and representatives from the two electric providers Wednesday evening.
A second hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. today in the Frank Center on the campus of Shepherd University.
The public hearings are a part of the PSC's investigation into the billing, meter reading and customer service practices of FirstEnergy subsidiaries Potomac Edison and Mon Power. The investigation began in June after the PSC received a high volume of complaints from customers in the Eastern Panhandle.
According to Jim Painter, who oversees meter reading for Mon Power, Mon Power and Potomac Edison provide electricity for 523,000 customers in West Virginia.
Painter and the other Mon Power representatives attributed problems with meter reading to personnel issues that arose from the 2011 merging of Allegany Power and FirstEnergy. Allegany meter readers performed three functions, he said, including field collection, service orders and meter readings. FirstEnergy practices segregate the three functions, which required restructuring of computer systems and renumbering of service routes.
The electric companies also cited the double whammy of storms in 2012-the derecho storm in June and Hurrican Sandy in October-as a potential source of billing problems. Officials said the derecho knocked out power for 17 days, and no meter readings were conducted during that time.
Getting accurate and regular meter readings is vital to ensuring customers are billed properly. Currently, Mon Power and Potomac Edison estimate bills based on power usage from the previous year. Customers claim they are being overcharged based on estimates for a time in which no readings were conducted and no data was collected.
Mon Power representatives said they will continue to focus on minimizing consecutive estimates and are working with the Electric Power Research Institute on an assessment of the estimation algorithm that is used.
During the public comment portion of the hearing, Richard Hamstead of Charles Town offered suggestions to the PSC.
"When a new customer gets an account, their meter should be read to determine their bill. Right now, it's based on the previous customer's power usage," Hamstead said. "Potomac Edison should look into other methods used to read meters. Customers need to know we can open the bill each month and not get a surprise."
Hamstead also said he felt the FirstEnergy customer service representatives should be more considerate of those who call in with issues.
"We need more commitment from customer service people on the phone. Customers need to be able to get off the phone with the feeling that something will be done," Hamstead said.
Others who spoke Wednesday evening had similar suggestions and concerns, the most common of which was the request to have meters read regularly, meaning every meter would be read every month for at least a year. This would help determine more accurate estimates in the future.
Todd Meyers, who represents both Potomac Edison and Mon Power, said the companies are ready to take on the challenge of improving service.
"There are over 500,000 customers served by both Potomac Edison and Mon Power. With so many different customer circumstances, there's not a one-size-fits-all fix," Meyers said.
Meyers said the next step after the hearings will involve the PSC looking at the transcripts from the hearings and sending reports to Mon Power and Potomac Edison to see how they are working to improve.
Meyers acknowledged that meter reading has declined, explaining that about seven percent of meters were being read every other month, a number that fell to two and a half percent.
"We do want our customers to have consistent bills," Meyers said. "A large subset of the customers who attended the hearing tonight did receive one-on-one help from customer service representatives after the hearing."
Meyers said Mon Power and Potomac Edison will continue to get information on some of the testimonies given at the hearing to work to resolve the issues.
"There were a number of contributing factors (that led to these billing issues) last fall and into last winter, but we've gotten beyond those issues and we're ready to move in the right direction."
Customers who have concerns about their bills can call the Potomac Edison customer service center at 800-686-0011 or submit comments online via the Public Service Commission's website, www.psc.state.wv.us/scripts/onlinecomments/formalDisclaimer.cfm. The investigation's case number, 13-0830-E-GI, should be included in all comments.

A tale of quackademic medicine at the University of Arizona Cancer Center
Quackademic medicine.
I love that term, because it succinctly describes the infiltration of pseudoscientific medicine into medical academia. As I've said many times, I wish I had been the one to coin the phrase, but I wasn't. To the best of my ability to determine, I first picked it up from Dr. R. W. Donnell back in 2008 and haven't been able to find an earlier use of the term. As much as I try to give credit where credit is due, I have, however, appropriated the term "quackademic medicine" (not to mention its variants, like "quackademia"), used it, and tried my best to popularize it among supporters of science-based medicine. Indeed, one of my earliest posts on this blog was about how quackery has infiltrated the hallowed halls of medical academia, complete with links to medical schools that have "integrative medicine" programs and even medical schools that promoted the purely magic-based medical modalities known as reiki and homeopathy. It's been a recurrent topic on this blog ever since, leading to a number posts on the unethical clinical trials of treatments with zero or minimal pre-trial plausibility, the degradation of the scientific basis of medicine, and the acceptance of magical thinking as a means of treating patients in all too many medical centers.
One strong candidate for quackademic ground zero, if there can be such a thing for the phenomenon like quackademic medicine, which is creeping up like so much kudzu in the cracks of the edifice of science-based medicine (SBM), is the University of Arizona. U. of A. is, of course, the home of one of the originators of the concept of quackademic medicine and one of its most famous and tireless promoters, Dr. Andrew Weil. Dr. Weil, as you might recall, has even been the driving force for creating a highly dubious "board certification" in integrative medicine. Sadly, apparently this new board certification has been so popular among physicians wanting to "integrate" a little quackery into their practices, that its first examination has been delayed from May to November 2014, so that the American Board of Physician Specialties can figure out how to accommodate the unexpectedly large number of applicants.
So what happens when a patient arrives at U. of A. for treatment? I found out last week when I received an e-mail, which led to a fairly long e-mail exchange, with a man whose son was diagnosed with leukemia and is being treated at the University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC). Although this man gave me permission to use his name, I am going to decline to do so because there is a child involved, although anyone involved in his case at U. of A. will likely quickly be able to identify who the man is. It turns out that he is a professor at U. of A. in a humanities department (which is why I'll refer to him henceforth as the Professor), and, even though he is not a scientist, he clearly knows how to think (which would not be surprising if you knew what department he was in). In his e-mail, he told me how appalled he was at the sorts of treatments being offered to his son:

Best Practice Toolkit for Working with Domestic Violence Survivors with Criminal Histories
This is a historical document. Use for research and reference purposes only.
"Best Practice Toolkit for Working with Domestic Violence Survivors with Criminal Histories" (PDF, 1.5MB), created by the Michigan Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, aims to address the barriers incarcerated and formerly incarcerated survivors of domestic violence face when they attempt to get help.
The toolkit came out of the Michigan Open Doors Project, which focuses on incarcerated and formerly incarcerated survivors and is supported by a 3-year grant from the Family and Youth Services Bureau's Family Violence Prevention and Services Program. Designed for direct service workers who are interested in how domestic violence and the criminal legal system overlap, the toolkit gives practical tips for assisting any person who has a history of intimate partner violence and has been charged or convicted of a crime.
The toolkit looks at
- how domestic violence may impact women before, during and after incarceration
- how to advocate for domestic violence survivors across the different stages of the criminal legal system
- what criminal legal professionals need to know about working with domestic violence survivors
- how to understand and address system-level barriers for women after incarceration
- how to enhance collaboration between the criminal legal and domestic violence sectors

Mosquitoes are out in full swing the season.
The heavy rainfall along with the warm summer weather has created a great atmosphere for a large mosquito hatch.
Bug experts say areas with standing water like buckets, kiddie pools, and uncovered boats are ideal places for mosquitoes to lay their eggs.
And now is the time experts start getting worried about the spread of La Crosse Encephalitis and West Nile. "We really are very concerned about that, because we have such a history of mosquito borne disease in the area, and it's really a man-made habitat that allows the mosquito to flourish and spread the disease," said La Crosse Co. Vector Control Manager Dave Geske.
Some areas of the state are seeing so much rain that it's washing away the standing water where mosquito eggs are laid. Geske says that's not the case in the La Crosse area.

Sarcoma: Adult Soft Tissue Cancer
Talking With Your Doctor TOPICS
Previous Topic
Treatment of soft tissue sarcomas, by stage
What should you ask your doctor about soft tissue sarcomas?
As you cope with cancer and cancer treatment, you need to have honest, open discussions with your doctor. You should feel comfortable asking any question no matter how small it might seem. Nurses, social workers, and other members of the treatment team may also be able to answer many of your questions.
- What kind of sarcoma do I have?
- How much experience do you have in diagnosing and treating sarcoma?
- Has my cancer spread?
- What is the stage of my cancer and what does that mean?
- What are my treatment choices?
- What treatment do you recommend and why?
- What risks or side effects are there to the treatments you suggest?
- What are the chances my cancer will come back with these treatment plans?
- What should I do to be ready for treatment?
- What's my outlook?
In addition to these sample questions, be sure to write down some of your own. For instance, you might want more information about recovery times so that you can plan your work schedule. Or you may want to ask about second opinions or about clinical trials.

A distracted driver slammed her car into a herd of dairy cows as it crossed the road.
Witnesses at the farm in Mount Hope, located in Upstate New York, claimed the driver was texting and driving, though the 21-year-old driver stated that she was only looking down to check an incoming call.
However, the farm-owner Mike Hosking noted, "If you don't see 50 cows in the road, you're doing something (you shouldn't be doing)," reports the Times Herald-Record.
The driver struck a total of six or seven cows, three of which were seriously hurt in the crash. She also nearly hit one of Hosking's farm hands, who tried to signal her to stop.
Hosking said he'll be closely monitoring the seriously hurt cows in the days ahead.

With each college basketball season Conrad Krutwig has played, his game has moved farther away from the basket.
As a senior this season at NCAA Division II Wisconsin-Parkside, Krutwig has contributed greatly from the perimeter for a team that won the Great Lakes Valley Conference's East Division regular-season title.
"In high school (at Jacobs), it was pound it inside, pound it inside," said the 6-foot-6 Krutwig, who spent his first two college seasons at D-I South Dakota. "In Division I, you have to find ways to score. So, I worked a lot on my mid-range game."
After last season, Parkside coach Luke Reigel encouraged Krutwig to take his game
beyond the 3-point line, where he made only seven shots as a junior.
"Three times a week (in the offseason), I was taking 300 to 500 shots,"Krutwig said. "That's how good shooters get better."
This season, Krutwig is the top 3-point shooter for a team that is experiencing a major turnaround after an 8-18 season a year ago that included a 1-17 GLVC record.
This season, the Rangers (20-7) went 14-4 in regular-season conference play, winning seven games against ranked teams. Parkside won its 20th game of the season Thursday night, a 65-56 victory against Kentucky Wesleyan in the GLVC tournament quarterfinals.
"It's been great beating nationally ranked teams and being national ranked," said Krutwig, whose team was ranked 17th this week by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. "We won one conference game last year. Once we got a couple of wins (this season), we started to believe in each other."
Krutwig ranks second on the team in scoring (11.5 points a game) and rebounding (5.6). On Thursday, he hit three 3-pointers among his 12 points. He also added seven rebounds in 24 minutes.
Krutwig's 43 threes are a team high for the second-seeded Rangers, who will play in the GLVC semifinals at 2:30 p.m. today against either Lewis or Southern Indiana.
"It's been a lot of fun this season," said Krutwig, who has started 52 games over the past two seasons. "I'm just being more aggressive. I'm looking for my shot a little more. Any time the opportunity is there, it's going up."
Whiting earns Iowa honor: After a record-setting season for D-III University of Dubuque's women's basketball team, Woodstock graduate Mollie Whiting was named first-team All-Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
The honor was the fourth consecutive season in which Whiting made an all-conference team and her second consecutive year on the first team.
This season, Whiting led the conference in scoring (23.8 points a game) and scored at least 20 points a game in Dubuque's final 18 games of the season.
While leading her team to the IIAC championship game, Whiting set school records for points in a career (1,737) and a season (667) and career made field goals (669).
Able Ace Kaczmarski: Prairie Ridge grad Kevin Kaczmarski is batting a team-high .368 this season for D-I Evansville's baseball team.
Kaczmarski, a sophomore outfielder, also leads the Aces (3-7) with a .553 slugging percentage, 14 hits, five doubles and three stolen bases. On Sunday, Kaczmarski was 3 for 4 with two RBIs in a 13-1 win against Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He ranks sixth in the Missouri Valley Conference in stolen bases and seventh in total bases (21) this season.
Beck all-conference: D-III Lake Forest College senior men's basketball guard Jeff Beck was named Feb. 27 to the All-Midwest Conference first team.
A Dundee-Crown grad, Beck led the conference in minutes played (34.3), ranked third in scoring (18.1 points a game), and seventh in assists (3.6) and 3-point field-goal percentage (45.3). He also was ninth in steals (1.4).
Beck started 92 games in his career and surpassed the 1,000-point plateau this season for the Foresters (7-16). With 1,116 career points, Beck ranks 13th in the program's history.
Ott sets record: Marian Central grad Jackie Ott of St. Xavier set a school record and finished 10th in the 1,000-meter event March 2 at the NAIA indoor national preliminaries in Geneva, Ohio.
Ott ran a school-best time of 3:00.7 seconds in the event, narrowly missing the finals.
Ott also ran the 800 leg on SXU's distance medley relay team, which posted a school-record time of 12:20.76 to finish third in its heat and 10th overall in the prelims.

Broughton wins Elkins mayoral race
In his second bid to become the mayor of Elkins, Van Broughton took in 495 votes to become the mayor-elect. Broughton defeated incumbent Mayor Duke Talbott and current Third Ward Councilman Mark Scott.
"I would like to thank God, the citizens of Elkins and all the people who helped my campaign," Broughton said after the final results were read in council chambers at city hall. "I'm lost for words."
Broughton won all but two wards. Broughton, a current 2nd Ward councilman, won 1st, 2nd, and 5th Wards in his bid to become mayor. Talbott won 4th Ward and Scott took 3rd.
Broughton earned a total of 495 votes, Talbott recieved 346 and Scott took in 208.
"I look forward to representing them (the people of Elkins)," Broughton said. "I've been blessed."
Talbott was visibly disappointed with the results and left shortly after the last voting precinct came in around 11 p.m. Tuesday night.
"I wish Van the best," Talbott said. "Any way I can help, I will. We need to keep working together as a community."
Scott extended his congratulations to Broughton when the final vote tallies were read.
"I want to congratulate the mayor-elect on a well run race," Scott said. "I look forward to working with him in the future."
Elkins voters also made their voices heard in two contested council races. In 1st Ward, volunteer firefighter Lonnie Randall took down incumbent Charles Kinnison. Randall received 166 votes and Kinnison took in 139.
"I just want to thank everybody that came out to vote," Kinnison said. "It has been a pleasure to serve 1st Ward."
Kinnison was appointed to the seat after the resignation of former Councilman Rob Beckwith.
Randall was not present during the reading of the results and was unavailable for comment.
In 1st Ward, incumbent Councilwoman Nanci Bross-Fregonara defeated challenger Hollis Vance. Fregonara received 176 votes to Vance's 67.
"I am very excited to be able to continue to work for four more years," Fregonara said. "It was a great race going against Hollis. Hopefully, he will stay engaged in some capacity."
Vance was not present during the reading and was unavailable for comment.

text: My lo is not sleeping at all at night now. She was sleeping pretty well and when she did wake up every couple of hours I would just feed her and she would go right back to sleep. Now she is waking up every 20 or 30 minutes and cries in pain. She did get two teeth a couple of weeks ago. I am just having trouble knowing whether she is crying at night because she is hungry, teething, or scared... We co slept until 4 months old and then she slept better in her bed. I tried co sleeping again to see if that helped and it is worse. She never really goes to sleep in bed with us anymore. She eats plenty during the day and her weight is good. Am I making it worse by feeding her every time she wakes up crying? Should I try to rock her back to sleep? Should I try giving her solids at night? We have not pushed solids yet because she didnt seem to like them. Sometimes she seems to sleep well with just my dh and her in the bed but than I have no where to sleep... I just was not prepared for her to start eating all night long at almost 7 months old! Any advice is welcomed!!!

Look for more growth in 2012, years ahead
- published_in
The second half of 2011 was a period of very strong growth in the Northern Colorado economy. This growth was led by the construction sector, both residential and institutional, and a large reduction in the number of bankruptcies, undoubtedly caused by fewer foreclosures and underwater mortgages ending in bankruptcy. The housing sector and consumers, in general, are rapidly deleveraging and learning to live within a new spending equilibrium.
The annual monthly growth rate has been at or well above 20 percent for seven months through January. This degree of strength hasn't been seen since 1993, when the U.S. was coming out of the 1991-1992 recession. This strength is the result of very weak growth in the last half of 2010 and should carry through the first half of 2012 compared to the weaker first half of 2011. The growth rate will slow in the second half of 2012 compared to the second half of 2011.
The trend line in the Index of Economic Growth graph has turned up. The trend line is calculated using a filter that weights recent data more heavily and diminishes to zero for data more than two years old. So, when the trend line turns up, the data series is truly recovering. The Index increased uninterrupted from its base in 1991 through 2005, then dipped through 2009 before beginning its current recovery. The dip carried it back to 1998 levels so the current recovery is like starting from the condition the Northern Colorado economy was in in 1998. It's obvious the current recovery is going to be slower than the rate of growth from 1998 through 2005. So, it could be 2018 before the local economy climbs back to 2005 levels.
The U.S. economy is also recovering very slowly. Most economic indicators are positive and roughly 2 million jobs have been recovered from the more than 8 million lost to the Great Recession. We must add more than 1 million jobs each year just to accommodate new entrants to the labor force from high schools and colleges.
Stock market indices have all increased in the past few months and are showing no signs of retreating. This suggests that the U.S. economy will not dip for at least the next six months. If falling indices don't forecast a pullback in the U.S. economy, it could continue to grow slowly well into 2013.
Employment by place of residence (workers who live in Northern Colorado) looks very positive. Numbers are well above 2009 levels and the forecast looks like we could hit 2007-2008 levels in 2014, thus recovering all the jobs lost to the Great Recession. The trend line for unemployment peaked at about 8.4 percent and actual unemployment was just above 7 percent in January. The unemployment rate is unlikely to retreat back to the 4 percent level for several years.
The total value of construction being put in place in Northern Colorado is growing very nicely, adding well more than $50 million per month to gross regional product. The spring peaks in 2010 and 2011 were very strong, suggesting that the 2012 peak will be well above that of the past two years. We could soon be consistently adding more than $100 million per month to gross regional product.
Increasing numbers of single-family detached residential permits are being pulled, suggesting that the home construction sector is expanding. But the pace is excruciatingly slow. My colleagues in the real estate sector report that activity has really picked up in the past six months.
Total motor vehicle registrations increased very strongly in 2011, an amazing recovery from weakness in the Great Recession years. The forecast is for another good year in 2012 as the local economy continues to recover. The forecast also predicts an even stronger year in 2013 but it is unlikely that we can have three years of such strong expansion in a row. Additional vehicles put ever greater pressure on the adequacy of our road system.
Retail sales are almost back on the trend line from before the Great Recession. It's amazing how quickly retail sales have recovered from the effects of the downturn. Home values in Northern Colorado did not fall as much as they did in other parts of the U.S., so local consumers have not tightened their spending habits as much as expected. Home values are a major component of the consumer wealth picture and stable home values increase consumer confidence and spending. The Growth Index for retail sales is now back on its 20-year trend line and is likely to increase as fast as or faster than it did in the 1990s.
Bankruptcy news is as good as the increase in construction spending. The number of bankruptcies declared each month has fallen back to 2007 and 1996 levels. This drag on our economy is abating. Bankruptcies are currently about one per month for each 3,200 residents and the Index has again dropped below its 1991 base of 100.
The bottom line: The economy of Northern Colorado is expanding faster than the U.S. economy but slower than we are accustomed to and would like to see. The recovery in the retail sector is very strong and the construction engine is gaining speed.
A special note: Close readers will notice the absence of new and renewed sales tax account data. The Colorado Department of Revenue continues to stonewall me, saying, "We no longer produce that report." I have contacted the Citizen Advocacy Office to no avail. That data has a significant moderating effect on the volatility of the Index of Economic Growth in Northern Colorado, reducing peaks and moderating dips. Small business retailers are a vital part of our economy and entrepreneurship in the retailing sector stimulates growth.
So, I'd like to ask my readers to help me. Email me and I will send you names and phone numbers of persons to contact and ask them to resume reporting the total numbers of new and renewed sales tax accounts each month for each county in Colorado. It's a simple sum of the applications for tax accounts that they receive. Or, alternatively, contact the Governor or the director of the Department of Revenue, if you know that person.

Quirky quote of the day
" The only way to make your PC go faster is to throw it out a window." — Robert Paul
Today in history
On this day in 1937, the German airship Hindenburg, the largest dirigible ever built, explodes as it arrives in Lakehurst, N.J.
Thirty-six people died in the fiery accident that has since become iconic, in part because of the live radio broadcast of the disaster.
Here's the rest of the story:
Today — Mostly sunny, with a high near 87. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to between 15 and 20 mph.
Tonight — Partly cloudy, with a low around 47. West wind between 10 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
Looking forward — Sunny with temperatures in the low 90s through the weekend.

Lynch leads NIU vs Utah St in Poinsettia BowlBy BERNIE WILSON
the associated press | December 26,2013SAN DIEGO Jordan Lynch will make a run at history Thursday night when he suits up for the final time for No. 24 Northern Illinois in the Poinsettia Bowl against Utah State.
Lynch already owns the major college record for yards rushing for a quarterback with 1,881. With 119 yards, he can become the first player to rush for 2,000 yards and throw for 2,000.
Im just really proud of him and wish I had him for about 10 more years but we dont, NIU coach Rod Carey said. This is the last game we get him. Thats the biggest thing with him.
Lynch has passed for 2,676 yards and 23 touchdowns. Hes rushed for 22 scores and even caught a touchdown pass in leading the Huskies to a 12-1 record.
Listen, we ask him to do a lot, and its not because thats our system. Its because he can, Carey said. Those are the things that amaze you. He makes the complicated things and the hard things skillwise look easy. Thats what amazes you every day. You tell him one time one play and then its done. Its locked in a vault. Thats what is amazing to me.
Thats why Lynch was named to The Associated Press All-America team as an all-purpose player.
Utah State coach Matt Wells knows Lynch has quite the supporting cast in fellow 1,000-yard rusher Cameron Stingily and wide receivers Tommylee Lewis and DaRon Brown.
Jordan Lynch is fun to watch its not fun to watch because you understand youre going to have to defend him, but from a quarterback perspective, Ive got a lot of respect for him, said Wells, who played quarterback at Utah State in the mid-1990s.
The guy is an 1,800-yard running back, and by the way hes over 60-percent completion and 3-to-1 touchdown-interception ratio. Its amazing, and thats back-to-back years. As you study him and the things that hes done since hes become a starter, hes a flat-out winner, Wells said.
I said to Rod last Wednesday when we were talking, you know, its almost like its a once-in-a-lifetime young man to coach because I know hes the face of that program and everything that hes meant to that staff and that program and that city, that university.
Here are some things to look for when Northern Illinois plays Utah State (8-5):
LYNCH PIN: Lynch accounts for 65 percent of the NIU offense with 1,881 yards rushing, 2,676 passing and 43 touchdowns. Hes 24-3 as the starter in two seasons. His eight 100-yard rushing games include two of more than 300 yards.
CONSOLATION PRIZE: The teams are coming off losses in conference championship games. NIU, the Mid-American Conference West Division champion, was routed 47-27 by Bowling Green in the conference title game. Utah State, which edged Boise State for the Mountain West Mountain Division title, lost 24-17 to Fresno State in the league championship game.MORE IN Wire SportsORLANDO, Fla. Full StoryOXON HILL, Md.

They're great pieces of equipment that can really boost your game and lower your score.

So here are some Diamonds In The Rough that will keep you out of the rough. We've found these gems to be terrific values for your game. We highly suggest you give them strong consideration.
Looking for easy distance? The engineers at COBRA have engineered the Fly-Z XL Fairways and Hybrids for forgiveness by incorporating a low, back CG, Crown Zone Weighting with an offset head design to maximize launch and feature COBRA's revolutionary Speed Channel Face for more forgiveness and increased distance from the fairway.
GRIP: Fly-Z XL features a graphite Matrix shaft with a Lamkin REL 360 Grip.
Speed Channel is an engineered trench that surrounds the club face to help minimize face thickness and provide increased ball speeds across the face for incredible distance with forgiveness.
Offset Design helps the golfer square the club face more easily at impact. Now you can forget about that slice once and for all, and enjoy finding more fairways and greens in regulation with higher, straighter, more draw-biased ball flight.
Zone Weighting removes weight from the crown to reposition it low and back in the head for a low, deep Center of Gravity. The result? Extreme forgiveness on off center hits and excellent distance no matter where you hit the ball on the face.
