Now just use F, C, and Z patter to determine A
In the diagram angle DAF = 10 degrees, angle FAB = 60 degrees, angle FBA = 30 degrees and EBF = 40 degrees. Find the value of a to the nearest degree.
I've found out a number of other angles - angle BEA = 50 degrees, angle BCA equals 40 degrees, angle BFA equals 90 degrees, angle FDA equals 80 degrees - but I can't seem to be getting closer to finding the answer.
Help please?

Eventually we'll all stop seeing movies in theaters, favoring same-day HD downloads onto our 150" flat panel TVs, and that thought makes me incredibly sad, for as I and many others have said many times, the communal aspect of filmgoing is really a very special thing. Being in the dark with strangers and absorbing their response with your own has a peculiar kind of intimacy. Then there are the other times, when you sit in the dark and listen to how all of those strangers are reacting, and (if you are me), you find yourself thinking, "Jesus Christ, I am so much smarter than these people."
To be fair, I had some help in appreciating Bug, which is that I have read Tracy Letts's original play and therefore I was prepared for the film as it is, and not the Cronenberg-esque horror film that the marketing promised. So it's not that I'm "smarter" than everybody else, merely that I'm better-informed, which presumably speaks to a greater curiosity and openness to the world, but I just got off that road and I shouldn't really go back down it right away.
Bug, directed by former genius William Friedkin and written by Letts (who is also a fantastic actor, and a member of the Steppenwolf Theatre ensemble, which I mention both out of hometown pride, and because I saw him last year in The Pillowman and he was incredible), is a horror story, when all is said and done, but it is not "that kind" of horror story. It is an internal, personal story of drug-induced paranoia and the abject fear of being alone. Herein we find Agnes (Ashley Judd), who is scratching out a simulacrum of life in a rundown Oklahoma town, hiding from her violent ex-con ex-husband Jerry Goss (Harry Connick, Jr.). Comes a time that her lesbian best friend, R.C. (Lynn Collins) brings a quiet drifter named Peter Evans (Michael Shannon, who was also incredible in The Pillowman) over to Agnes's grim little hotel room; Agnes and Peter hit it off, and that's when the really crazy shit happens, ending with the two racing each other to the most hideous depths of mental derangement, aided by the elliptical presence of multiple narcotics.
It's pretty safe to say that American culture demands a higher degree of realism from film than from theater, and accepts greater intensity from life performance, and on both of those counts, Bug is quite a bit more theatrical than cinematic, which doubtlessly explains the hostile reception of my audience, and seemingly of audiences throughout the country; but I've never pretended that I have any interest in that false dichotomy. By my reckoning, this is indeed a brilliant combination of the limitations of both stage and film, combined under Friedkin's unexpectedly sure guidance into a movie that wears its theatrical roots like a badge, while somehow proving in every single shot that it is essentially cinematic.
Friedkin's style here is not subtle; he uses frames-within-frames and editing like tactical nuclear arms to emphasise the shift from personal isolation in the beginning of the film to the literally insane codependency of the climax. But this is not a case where subtlety is expected or appropriate - this is, for god's sake, a story in which flesh-eating aphids are used as a metaphor for paranoid schizophrenia. It's an emotionally "big" story, and Friedkin's heightened visual language is a perfect fit for the theatricality of it all. It's supposed to be larger than reality, and it is, and it's a wonderful thing to behold if you're on the same page as the material.
Not that the film is all visual: following the author's intent, Bug is incredibly, aggressively aural. Throughout, we hear helicopter blades, whether there is a helicopter at any given moment or not; and scene transitions are conducted (sometimes with less success than others) with explosions of raw noise. In other words, the sound design brings us into the characters' deteriorating minds, while the visuals keep us at the level of spectators.
Being written by an actor and born in the theater, it is perhaps not surprising that Bug offers a pair of extraordinarily ripe central characters, and the actors involved tear into the material with élan. It's not surprising that Michael Shannon does great things with Peter; he's played the role onstage to great praise in the past, and so he's had plenty of time to work out the kinks in the character's slow boil over the 100 minutes of plot. No, it's Ashley Judd who really comes from nowhere to nail a terrifically hard role with a flawless performance of a descent into insanity that is as disturbing to witness as anything in the modern cinema, especially in her showstopping climactic speech where she essentially breaks down over the course of five minutes, culminating in a line that will either terrify you (if you are on the movie's wavelength) or make you giggle like a schoolgirl (if you are a fucking cobag like the fucking cobags in the theater where I saw the film).
Schizophrenia is not fun to watch, and more than most things, I suppose Bug is really not an accessible movie. It's already clear that it's a love it or hate it affair, and I'm quite grateful that I love it, because it's a terrifically challenging experience, especially buried in the middle of summer where its merits will be surely disposed of by a crowd looking for the easy entertainment. Quite a pity, that. This is an exemplary character-driven chamber drama like we don't see much of in America, and its exaggerated psychotic energy is a perfect antidote to the flaccid objets d'argent that sit a screen or two away, raking in unholy mounds of cash while evincing not the slightest hint of personality.

Colloidal particles in suspension form liquid, crystalline and glassy phases similar to those formed by atoms. Since the particles are "fat" (~1μm) and "slow" (~0.1s), they can be individually tracked in space and time by confocal microscopy. Dense colloidal systems therefore serve as "analog computers" to study the dynamics of defects in crystals (vacancies, stacking faults, dislocations, grain boundaries), crystal nucleation, crystal-liquid interfaces, and the fundamental mechanisms of the deformation of glasses.

Lunchtime Beauty Q&A: Can Eyelash Curlers Lose Their Effectiveness?
When tools fail.

Q: Can eyelash curlers lose their effectiveness? I feel like mine just isn't working anymore. — Stella, New York, NY
A: You know that scene in Beverly Hills 90210 when a teenage David Silver whips out Kelly Taylor's eyelash curler and adds it to the time capsule he and Steve Sanders are making, mainly because he just didn't know what it was? And you know how puppies sort of cock their head to the side when they see something they don't understand? Well, that's the look 12-year-old me made at the TV when I first watched that scene. Brian Austin Green, I didn't know what the hell that thing was either. Not sure if he ever figured it out, but that next year, when my social calendar really started to pick up (Bat Mitzvah season had arrived), I would learn about the magical effects of the eyelash curler.
I became addicted to one made by Revlon that I picked up at the local Giant (that was the supermarket in my 'hood in Baltimore). No one really wore makeup to school (I went to an all-girls school, and you were more likely to be ridiculed for wearing makeup than not), but I curled my lashes obsessively. I honestly even felt like I could see better. Then one day, my curler stopped working. I kept squeezing and squeezing, but nothing was curling — it was more just making dents. I sat on the bathroom sink counter, shaking my 13-year old fist at the ceiling because I remembered casually tossing out those extra rubber pieces when I first opened my Revlon package. Turns out, you need those squishy pads — they're what really defines the shape of the curl. Everyone says you're supposed to replace them every three months, but I've definitely gone longer. Basically, once you start denting your lashes, then it's probably a good idea to make the change. Which should be really easy if you didn't throw any extras away, like someone I know.

Snowshoeing 101
Kathy Cabrera
December 13, 2011
Filed under Feature Stories, Top Stories
What wintertime sport can be done by just about anyone, goes great with four-season camping, fishing, hiking or running through fresh powder, and helps improve cardiovascular fitness?
If you thought snowshoeing, you're on the right snow-covered track.
One of the top reasons this sport is increasing in popularity among everyone from men and women, to kids and even senior citizens, is that it literally requires no learning curve. According to Mark Elmore, Sports Director of the U.S. Snowshoe Association, Inc. and the U.S. National Snowshoe Team Director, "If you can walk … you can snowshoe. If you can run … you can snowshoe race. Unlike the other sports, you don't need to learn any specific skills to control yourself, like you need to learn when skiing or snowboarding."
Elmore also notes that first-timers commonly ask, "How do I turn? How do I stop? How do I go uphill?" His guidance? "With snowshoes … you just WALK … or RUN!"
For anyone seeking wintertime exercise without having to go to a ski resort, snowshoeing actually delivers a better workout than you may be able to get if you stayed indoors at your local gym. It burns more calories than walking, running or cross-country skiing at the same pace.
According to two independent studies conducted by Ball State University and the University of Vermont, snowshoers can burn between 420-1000 calories per hour. "Snowshoeing is an effective, low-impact, and safe form of exercise to change body composition. It burns up to twice the number of calories as walking at the same speed," says Dr. Declan Connolly of the University of Vermont's exercise physiology department.
There isn't a learning curve with snowshoeing and it makes for a great cold-weather workout. Your first few times may require a bit of build-up before taking longer outings, and it's wise to be prepared by dressing the right way, reviewing a safety checklist, and most importantly, having the right gear on your feet depending on where, when and how much you plan to enjoy the sport.
Snowshoeing Starter Tips
Elmore notes that snowshoeing can be quite vigorous, "Depending on your level of fitness, take it easy at first. Take frequent breaks. Stay hydrated. Be sure you are dressed properly — this is perhaps one of the most important considerations leading to an enjoyable snowshoe outing. You can burn lots of calories snowshoeing, but it doesn't have to be an exhausting endeavor. Pace yourself and be realistic with your expectations. Don't try to scale a mountain your first time out."
Start with a safety checklist on what to wear and what to take with you.
The most valuable tip that Kevin Hinds, a Maine Registered Sea Kayak/Recreation Guide and Instructor at the L. L. Bean Outdoor Discovery School, offers is that it's important to take the time to learn how to dress appropriately for the winter weather. "Always dress in layers as in wicking, warming, and weather layers," he says.
Dressing for the conditions is a tip seconded by Elmore who advises: "Wear performance apparel that is well suited to the level of exertion you expect. Dressing is a very important aspect of any outdoor winter experience. If you stay warm and dry, you'll enjoy your outing much more than if you overdress and get clammy and chilled within the first 20 minutes on the trail."
You should also think about what you'll need on the trip. Hinds' safety check list includes taking a small backpack with water, snacks, extra fleece, warm mittens, an extra hat, compass, map, first-aid kit, cell phone, a GPS (that you know how to use) and a small repair/multi-tool kit. Another staple in Elmore's pack is duct tape, as it can easily repair a broken snowshoe binding out on the trail.
"Always let people know where you are going and when you expect to start and finish your outing. File your 'flight plan' with someone. Take a cell phone, but don't always count on having reception. It depends on where you are. That's why the flight plan is so important," says Elmore.
Snowshoeing Techniques
Snowshoeing enthusiasts will tell you it's as easy as walking and running. But, knowing a few key techniques ahead of time will help master the maneuvers. The resource site snowshoes.com offers these tips for each of the following typical landscapes:
1. Snowshoeing Uphill: To ascend a slope, kick the front of your snowshoe into the snow and press down to compact it into a step under your foot. Make sure that each new step is sufficiently above the last one to keep your step from collapsing.
2. Snowshoeing Downhill: Heel traction is the key to an easy descent, giving the weighted part of your snowshoes a solid hold in the snow. Keep your knees slightly bent and keep your weight over your heels to maintain grip and control.
3. Traversing a Slope On Snowshoes: Kick the side of the snowshoe into the hillside, engaging the crampons. Swing your heel hard towards the uphill slope, then stomp down, securing the snowshoe edge and crampons in the slope. Keep your weight balanced into the slope for grip as you step forward.
4. Breaking Trail: For efficient travel when breaking trail, pick up your foot until the nose of the snowshoe clears the snow, and move it forward with your next step. You'll expend extra energy pulling the entire snowshoe out of the snow or not lifting higher than the new snow.
When snowshoeing in a group, especially a family, Elmore finds it best to let your athletic, fit teens break the trail, since it will slow them down a bit and allow the rest of the family to keep up. Snowshoeing can be a multi-generational outing, with everyone going at their own pace, but staying together. Elmore suggests, "Put the grandparents in the back of the line so the trail has been well packed down by the time they travel it and the going will be easiest for them so they'll be able to keep up. Take frequent breaks to enjoy the winter scenery and all that nature has to offer."
The Best Snowshoeing Gear
Snowshoeing only requires the ability to walk as a prerequisite skill, but traversing terrain in nature's most challenging conditions — snow, ice, below-zero temperatures — calls for an entirely separate set of considerations when buying snowshoes other than price alone.
Bob Dion, founder of Dion Snowshoes (www.dionsnowshoes.com), says his company designs and sells snowshoes to create a customized fit for each user's desired function. The customized snowshoes allow shoppers to select the best frame, binding and cleat that work best for them.
Dion Snowshoes offers several frames to choose from — with the basic rule that for packed snow, any model will work. However, for deep snow, the more you weigh, the larger the frame you'll need. Dion offers two types of bindings: Secure-Fit and Quick-Fit. Both are designed to fit comfortably and secure. The cleats on Dion Snowshoes are made of Teflon-coated aluminum alloy, are interchangeable, and can be easily removed to sharpen or replace. The Standard Cleat is used for packed snow or groomed trails. The Deep Cleat is named for its performance in deep snow or dry-powder conditions, and is longer than the Standard Cleat with longer "fangs" for a better grip. The Ice Cleats are made for hard, rocky and ice-covered terrain.
Hinds also recommends picking your snowshoes by determining if you'll be on flat walking areas, rolling hills, small mountains or mountaineering, or a combination thereof and what the snow conditions will be. At the L. L. Bean Outdoor Discovery School, Hinds is part of a team that allows enthusiasts to try several pairs of shoes to see what they like best, as well as provides them with some basic snowshoeing techniques.
L.L. Bean (llbean.com) sells all of the sport's top manufacturers' snowshoe models, as well as complementary accessories needed for snowshoeing like walking poles, and layering clothes for cold weather. The company also offers its own L. L. Bean-branded snowshoes and other equipment, including the Winter Walker snowshoes and packages for everyone from adults to kids to make snowshoeing an easy and complete family winter activity.
The two sister companies, Atlas (atlassnowshoe.com) and Tubbs (tubbssnowshoes.com) offer the Atlas 9 Series and the Elektra 9 Series for men, women and kids, and features a patent-pending free-rotating suspension that provides natural articulation of the foot over uneven and side-hill terrain with minimal resistance, letting the tail drop away with each step. The new FLEX TRK by Tubbs adds an ActiveLift 16-degree heel lift for go-anywhere day hiking performance. The Tubbs FLEX Jr. is tailored for kids 6 to 10 years old; and the Atlas Spark is recommended for ages 8 to 12.
MSR (msrgear.com) also offers snowshoes for little ones like its Denali Tyker; rugged kids' snowshoes that can stand up to years of abuse and support kids up to 90 pounds. Easy-to-use straps allow kids to get the shoes on themselves, even with mittens on. And so you can join the kids outdoors in the winter, MSR makes multiple snowshoe models for men and women, including its Lightning Axis snowshoe (see the full test of the MSR Lightning Axis Snowshoes in this issue's Gear Head section).
Redfeather Snowshoes (redfeather.com) offers its Arrow model, a modified round-tail design and the race-inspired Vapor. They have also enhanced the Hike Series, specifically designing a version for a woman's stride, which is generally shorter and narrower than a man's.
Crescent Moon Snowshoes (crescentmoonsnowshoes.com) makes it easy even for the beginner to pick the gear that fits his or her foot best, segmenting its offerings into the top-selling 'Gold'; the great value for a first-timer 'Silver'; and the lightweight 'Running' series. Its top-selling models are all within the first category, including the Gold 10 — a backcountry model recommended for snowshoers up to 225 pounds; the Gold 13 — a women's snowshoe for individuals weighing up to 165 pounds and an excellent trail shoe; and the Gold 9, an all around snowshoe for those up to 195 pounds, recommended for both trail and off-trail conditions.
Where To Go Snowshoeing
Winter sports like skiing and snowboarding generally require an incline of some sort, as well as a resort that maintains prime powder conditions. To be avidly involved requires resort fees, waiting in line at the lift and other hassles that snowshoeing doesn't involve. Instead, you can literally snowshoe wherever there's snow. That may be your backyard, a trail you enjoy walking in spring, summer or fall, a snow-covered golf course, or for the more experienced outdoor adventurers — the backcountry.
For some region-specific picks, however, Elmore, who also races and pursues winter sports wherever he can find snow, recommends the following across the U.S.:
Northeast Snowshoeing: Lake Placid and the Adirondack Mountains of New York; The Green Mountain Range and Bolton Valley Resort in Vermont.
Southeast Snowshoeing: The Appalachian Trail and Snowshoe Mountain in West Virginia.
Midwest Snowshoeing: The Northwoods Region of Minnesota/Wisconsin; the Duluth, Minnesota area; and Lakewoods Resort on Lake Namakagon in Cable, Wisconsin.
Rocky Mountains Snowshoeing: Beaver Creek Resort in Avon, Colorado; Snowbasin Resort in Ogden, Utah; and Salt Lake City/Park City areas of Utah.
Northwest Snowshoeing: Mount Hood in Oregon; and the Lake Tahoe and Mt. Shasta regions in California.
Southwest Snowshoeing: Flagstaff, Arizona.
Snowshoeing at a resort has its perks, though, especially to appease the winter sports interests among all members of a family or group — especially for those in the group who may not ski or snowboard. Smugglers' Notch Resort in Vermont's northern Green Mountains, for example, offers 24 kilometers of dedicated snowshoe trails and treks offered by its Nordic Center. Another good example is Colorado's well-known Winter Park Resort offers guided tours through the backcountry for non-skiers and first time snowshoers. Be sure to inquire at your favorite ski resort, as the answer just may be some type of winter sports trail for those up to the fun and excitement of snowshoeing.

Looking at Music: Side 2
June 10-November 30, 2009
Looking at Music: Side 2, a survey of over 120 photographs, music videos, drawings, audio recordings, publications, Super 8 films, and ephemera, looks at New York City from the early 1970s to the early 1980s when the city was a haven for renegade artists who often doubled as musicians and poets. Art and music cross-fertilized with a vengeance following a stripped-down, hard-edged, anti-establishment ethos, with some artists plastering city walls with self-designed posters or spray painted monikers, while others commandeered abandoned buildings, turning vacant garages into makeshift theaters for Super 8 film screenings and raucous performances.
Many artists found the experimental scene more vital and conducive to their contrarian ideas than the few contemporary art galleries in the city. Artists formed bands, performed in clubs and non-profit galleries, and self-published records and zines while using public access cable as a venue for media experiments and cultural debate.
Looking at Music: Side 2 is organized by Barbara London, Associate Curator, Department of Media and Performance Art, The Museum of Modern Art, and succeeds Looking at Music (2008), an examination of the interaction between artists and musicians of the 1960s and early 1970s.
The exhibition spans numerous forms of media by a diverse group of artists including: drawings by Patti Smith and photography by Dan Graham, Nan Goldin, and Jimmy DeSana; experimental video by James Nares; issues of influential zines and magazines including Search & Destroy, Interview, and Punk; posters designed by Adrian Piper and Collaborative Projects, Inc. (Colab); prints by Jenny Holzer, Betsey Johnson, and Bern Boyle; music videos with songs by Blondie and Suicide; record covers designed by Kim Gordon, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Raymond Pettibon; music from Television, The Ramones, and Talking Heads; and live band footage from performances at Max's Kansas City.
Barbara London states: "This exhibition shows how musicians and artists coalesced at a time when New York City, while financially struggling, seemed to incubate innovative ideas and facilitate the phenomenal success of a few, marking the transition into the next, more commercial decade of artists in New York City."
Outside The Yoshiko and Akio Morita Gallery, Looking at Music: Side 2 is introduced through a title wall designed by New York artist Laurie Anderson. Within the exhibition James Nares's video, Game (1975), greets viewers at the exhibition's entrance. Active in the 1970s on the Lower East Side as a Super 8 filmmaker and member of The Del-Byzanteens, Nares concocted a percussive, imaginary board game, performed with Seth Tillett, which he turned into the subject of his experimental film. Nares's work is accompanied by a monitor displaying segments from Glenn O'Brien's late 1970s Manhattan Public Access television show, TV Party. Equal parts party, talk show, video art, concert, and political action, TV Party took live television to a place it had never been, including interviews with a number of the artists included in the exhibition.
Also on display are drawings by Patti Smith and an audio station playing her song Hey Joe/Piss Factory (1974), considered to be the first punk rock record and funded by the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Two tracks from The Ramones, widely cited as the first punk rock group, play at a nearby audio station, including Beat on the Brat and Blitzkrieg Bop (1976). In vitrines, poetry from the musician Richard Hell and a record from the German artist Martin Kippenberger's short-lived musical project with Christine Hahn and Eric Mitchell are on display.
The exhibition next focuses on the work of New York based Colab, a non-profit artist collective distinguished for political engagement and the co-opting of public spaces, including an abandoned building in the heart of Times Square in 1980. In a set of video monitors, works from Colab artists are on display, including Coleen Fitzgibbon, a founding Colab member and instigator of the Times Square Show, which housed socially themed artworks in a derelict Times Square building.
With a background in 1960s structuralist cinema, Fitzgibbon's Super 8 film transferred to video, Time (1975), is a nonstop visual flow of headlines and text, all drawn from an issue of Time magazine, with the effect of an incessant restlessness of the filmic frame. On a nearby monitor, the music video Frankie Teardrop (1978), set to the New York-based band Suicide, is on display.
This coarsely-textured film-video hybrid combines super-imposed projector manipulations and high-end video post-production. An insightful collaboration between videomaker Paul Dougherty and Art-Rite zine editors Walter Robinson and Edit DeAk, the work interprets a strident song by Suicide about a poverty-stricken Vietnam vet pushed to the edge. These works are surrounded by posters, audio, and a video by Judith Barry, Richard Kern, and the New York band Sonic Youth and the work of Beth and Scott B.
Looking at Music: Side 2 next examines the cross-influence of hip hop and art in New York City, including the video of Rapture (1981) by Blondie. Rapture, the first video to incorporate elements from rap on MTV, opens with choreographer William Barnes dancing in a white suit and top hat in New York's Upper East Side.
Barnes is joined by Debbie Harry and her bandmates — easy-going, cross-over artists who bridged uptown and downtown scenes. In the final sequence of the music video, the band dances down a street passing Fab 5 Freddy and graffiti artists Lee Quiñones and Jean-Michel Basquiat in action. The video is accompanied by photographs of Basquiat's graffiti work from the 1970s, by Peter Moore and Stephanie Chernikowski, and a large-scale drawing by the artist, Untitled (1981).
The exhibition concludes with images from five rock n' roll photographers. Adjacent to a large-scale photographic collage of the work of Bob Gruen, adapted from the 2007 installation Rock and Roll Teenager's Bedroom and measuring 7.5' x 22.5', the exhibition includes vitrines with photographs of Suicide by Godlis and Sonic Youth by Stephanie Chernikowski, along with additional photographs by Roberta Bayley and Marcia Resnick.
On a monitor beside these works is Bob Gruen's New York Death Cult (Live at Max's Kansas City) (1976), featuring grainy footage from famed music club Max's Kansas City, which captures the raw, immersive spirit of up-and-coming musicians of that era such as Patti Smith.

I-77 bridge wreck sends two to hospital
WILLIAMSTOWN – A rush-hour wreck Friday at the Interstate 77 Williamstown-Marietta Bridge involved a lost couch and a tractor-trailer, sent two to the hospital and closed the southbound lanes of the bridge for more than an hour, officials said.
Around 5 p.m., an unknown motorist carrying a load of furniture and traveling southbound across the I-77 Williamstown-Marietta Bridge lost control of the load and deposited a couch on the bridge behind the vehicle, said Deputy M.C. Hupp with the Wood County Sheriff's Office.
Behind the unidentified motorist, Tracy West, 41, of Orma, W.Va., and his wife Melissa West, 36, of Orma, W.Va., were test-driving a Dodge Ram pickup from a local dealership, Hupp said.
Tracy West was unable to stop in time to avoid striking the couch, Hupp said. The couch was hit, and ended up beneath the Ram's undercarriage, Hupp said. The test-driven Ram was forced to stop in the center of the I-77 Williamstown-Marietta Bridge due to being hung up on the couch, said Hupp.
Unable to stop on the slick bridge surface, a tractor-trailer from Broughtons Dairy then struck the Ram from behind, Hupp said. The tractor-trailer was driven by George Mosser Jr., 54, of Marietta.
Tracy West and Melissa West were transported to Marietta Memorial Hospital for their injuries. They were treated and released on Friday evening, said Jennifer Offenberger, director of marketing and public relations for Marietta Memorial Hospital.
The test-driven Ram received disabling damage and was towed from the scene, said Hupp.
The tractor-trailer sustained damage to its front end, but was able to be driven from the scene, Hupp said. Mosser was uninjured and permitted to refuse treatment, Hupp said.
The couch was smashed into multiple pieces during the accident, Hupp said. It was recovered by the West Virginia Department of Highways and disposed of, Hupp said.
The I-77 Williamstown-Marietta Bridge was reopened to traffic around 6:10 p.m., Hupp said.
No citations were issued to any of the drivers involved in the accident, Hupp said.
The motorist who lost control of the furniture load and left the couch behind on the bridge is being considered as fleeing from the scene of an accident, Hupp said.
The crash remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the driver of the vehicle that was hauling the couch is asked to call the Wood County Sheriff's Office at 304-424-1834.

Professional nit pickers
Head lice removal services are booming in the Los Angeles area
By Christina Schweighofer 10/22/2012
When her two sons brought home head lice four years ago, Debbie N. reached for the buzz cutter. She shaved the boys' heads and, within minutes, the lice and nits were gone, along with the hair. "I was freaking out," Debbie says. "I was a mess. It's not so much the lice. It's the after-stuff you have to deal with, the laundry. You're constantly doing laundry. It's nerve-wrecking."
Going bald may work with boys, but for the head lice in her daughter's shoulder-length hair, Debbie needed a different solution. She decided to call a company to have the pest removed manually and without insecticides.
Combing for head lice is hardly original, just ask our grandmothers. What's different these days is the outsourcing. Hair Wizards, Hair Fairies, Lice Schmice, The Hair Angels — with at least a dozen listings in the Los Angeles area and despite treatments starting at $75 per head — the nit-picking sector is thriving.
Why the boom?
"Head lice scare people," says Kim Stellman, a technician with The Hair Angels salon in Pasadena, as she combs through the fine, straight hair of a 6-year-old redhead in a Bazooka pink chair. "They blame the cat. They blame the dog. They want to bring out the bleach." Stellman, a no-nonsense woman with purple eyeglasses and auburn hair pulled back from her round face, likes to reassure people: "It's not from the kitty. You can bring Fido in at night." Human head lice do not live on pets. They can't jump or fly. They crawl and are usually transmitted through head-to-head contact, which is why children get them more easily than adults.
The harvest from the redhead's hair turns out to be modest. Waving her lice comb, a stainless steel, fine-toothed instrument, Stellman points to a bowl of water with two little brown bugs and a nit glued to a hair. The girl, neck bent downward, feet in pink flip-flops, is not interested. She is watching "Pocahontas" on a salon-owned DVD player.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 12 million children between 3 and 11 get head lice in the US every year. Whether a person gets them has nothing to do with socio-economic background or cleanliness. But infestations can be a nuisance, especially when children miss school because of no-nit policies. (PUSD is likely to transition from a no-nit to a no-lice policy in October. Students will be allowed in class with nits but not with head lice.)
Head lice removers like to guarantee that children will be back in school the next day. But the sector is thriving for other reasons too. "Some people just don't want to deal with them, others are frustrated," says Hair Angels co-owner Hilary Scofield, a dynamic, fast-talking blonde.
The mother of two girls and a boy, Scofield remembers her own family's 3-month louse battle years ago. She kept applying insecticides but the head lice always returned. When Scofield learned from an acquaintance, Michelle Aloisio, that her family had had the same problem, the idea for the two women to start a lice business was born.
Angel Blancas, owner of Lice Schmice, a mobile service based in Altadena, discovered the many blessings of delousing in 2008, when she lost her job in the movie industry and found a position with a head lice removal salon in Encino. Blancas liked the work — "Everyone is so thankful!" — and decided to start a company. She and her technicians visit up to 20 clients a day. "You want them off your head," she says.
Over-the-counter lice shampoos have been around for about 50 years, and for a long time they were effective. But bugs can learn from adversity, too, and head lice are becoming resistant to the insecticides. Douglas Yanega, an entomologist with UC Riverside, explains that applications often don't kill all head lice. "You may knock it down to two or three," he says. "But if you have one female and one male left and they mate, you have a resistant strain."
Meanwhile, Stellman is finished with the young redhead. She wipes the counter and vacuums the chair and the floor around it. Later that day the redhead's mother, like Debbie N., will wash linens, towels, tops and scarves to make sure the house is insect-free. Or she might just outsource the laundry as well. n

Last week I wrote about the recent symposium about Native American imagery in sports that took place at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington. Everyone quoted in the article was opposed to the use of such imagery, which led many readers to ask why I hadn't given equal time to the other side.
The answer to that is simple: I was there to cover the symposium, and every single speaker at the event -- about three times as many people as I ended up quoting in my column -- was opposed to the use of Native American mascots, logos and team names. (The Washington Redskins were invited to have a representative at the event, but they declined.)
But it's true that there are some Native Americans who are fine...

Sferra Bros. looks to licensing
December 13, 2001-- Home Textiles Today,
Cliffwood, NJ — Sferra Bros. has announced the return of two former associates to the new positions of director of product development and the head of the newly created licensing and special projects division, which will focus on expanding Sferra's reach. Both positions report to Paul Hooker, president.
JoAnn Piccininni has been named director of product development, after a broad range of experience in direct mail, wholesale and retail experience within the bath, trim, giftware and bed linens categories. She most recently worked in product development for Legacy, and prior to that was a buyer at Hanover Direct for The Company Store and Turiya catalogs. She has also been a senior buyer at ABC Carpet & Home and Bloomingdale's By Mail.
Janet Benton rejoins Sferra from Home Treasures, where she was national sales manager. She was also previously director of the wholesale/retail division of Frette, director of sales and marketing for Cocoon North America, as well as in various buying and management capacities within the home furnishings division for Bloomingdale's.
Benton will oversee Sferra's new division for licensing and special projects, which includes Sferra's planned entry into the luxury hotel market, as well as other projects it will announce at a later date.
In addition, Sferra will also develop licensing opportunities. It has just signed an agreement with designer Nina Mortellito to develop coordinating hand embroidered placemats and napkins for her Orchid Garden dinnerware collection, which is being produced and distributed by Present Tense and will debut at the January shows in New York, Dallas and Atlanta.

"In order to have a happier humanity and lessen the gap between rich and poor, we must no longer have a narrow-minded, self-centered attitude. We must respect others and think seriously about others' welfare with a sense of brother- and sisterhood. I think society should cultivate a spirit of dialogue, the spirit of reconciliation on the basis of recognizing that others are also a part of yourself."

Welcome to C&C Designs, here is a little about myself.
I first started painting with an airbrush when I was in my teens painting model kits and RC cars, however this was very crude using entry level equipment and two colours on a model at best.
In 2008 I started to strip 1/32 scale slot cars down to their component, stripping the paint and decals from the cars and then painting them using again, an entry level airbrush. These were again relatively crude custom paint schemes. Later in 2008 I built a dedicated workshop to continue to customise slot cars, I invested in better equipment and scoured various sources of information to improve my skills.
Over the years I have invested in even better equipment and have honed my skills to allow multi-colour blending, multi-colour designs and high end finishes such as pearl flakes and colour shift paint.
In 2013 I attended a custom paint course run by Simon Murray, one of the best and most reputable airbrush and custom painters in Europe. This training opened up the possibilities that I have now embarked on with C&C Designs.
Again I have invested in new equipment allowing me to progress from 1/32 scale cars to motor cycle crash helmets, games consoles, PC's and laptops.
I continue to develop my skills and learn new techniques allowing me to create more individual items.
I look forward to working with you to create one off unique items.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court yesterday confronted for the first time the government's growing use of digital technology to monitor Americans, and it ruled strongly in favor of privacy.
The court said the Constitution generally bars police from tracking people with GPS devices attached to a vehicle unless they obtain a search warrant from a judge in advance. But the ruling also could limit methods such as surveillance cameras and cellphone tracking, legal experts said.
"I would guess every U.S. attorney's office in the country will be having a meeting to sort out what this means for their ongoing investigations," said Lior Strahilevitz, a University of Chicago expert on privacy and technology.
Even the justices who most often side with prosecutors rejected the government's view that Americans driving on public streets have waived their right to privacy and can be tracked and monitored at will.
Several justices appeared inclined, in the future, to go considerably beyond restricting the physical intrusion involved in putting a GPS device on a vehicle and rule that almost any long-term monitoring with a technological device could violate an individual's right to privacy.
Prosecutors and police had believed that as long as they were tracking a person who was in public, they could use GPS devices, cellphone tracking, facial-recognition cameras or computer data mining to gather information on an individual without a search warrant. A majority of the justices aggressively rejected that idea yesterday.
Although the justices all agreed on the outcome, they quarreled over how to approach the issue and how far to go.
Five justices, led by Antonin Scalia, focused primarily on the case at hand, saying that police violated the Fourth Amendment's ban on unreasonable searches when they attached the device to a vehicle's bumper and monitored its movements.
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., whose opinion was joined by three others, expressed a broader concern. He cited "dramatic technological change" that has made it "relatively easy and cheap" for agents to secretly monitor people and gather huge amounts of information.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor agreed, saying that "awareness that the government may be watching chills" freedom.
None of the opinions set a strict limit on searches, but they signaled that the court is determined to limit officials' power to monitor individuals, at least when there is no "probable cause" to believe the people have committed a crime.
The case before the court arose when Antoine Jones was charged with running a drug-dealing operation in the Washington, D.C., area, based in part on data gathered from tracking his Jeep.
By a 9-0 vote, the justices ruled that it was unconstitutional for police to attach a small GPS device to his bumper and track his vehicle for a month. The tracking data helped convict Jones of running a drug-dealing operation.
The issue also has been wending its way through Ohio courts, including Franklin County Common Pleas Court.
Columbus defense lawyer Joseph E. Scott, representing a man accused in a string of home invasions, argued that his client's Fourth Amendment protection against unlawful searches had been violated when Franklin County deputy sheriffs placed a GPS device on his car without a warrant. Deputies tracked Montie Sullivan and a co-defendant for nine days using the device.
Judge Michael J. Holbrook sided with prosecutors, saying there was no "reasonable expectation of privacy" for those parking and traveling on public roads.
At the time of that ruling, Scott called it a "sad day," not only for Sullivan, "but for all (of) us who believe in the Constitution."
Yesterday, Scott said he had e-mailed prosecutors and Holbrook, a former law student of his at Ohio State University, to alert them to the Supreme Court's decision. "I haven't heard anything back," he said, chuckling. "You like to come out ahead once in a while."
Sullivan's case has yet to go to trial, and Scott said he intends to use the ruling to challenge much of the state's evidence in the case.
Jeff Furbee, legal adviser to Columbus police, doesn't expect much fallout for Columbus Police cases. "Columbus, and I think most large agencies, were almost always getting search warrants for GPS anyway," he said.
But Furbee said the issue will persist in the courts because the justices left a number of avenues open for lawyers to pursue. "This is going to be litigated for years now," he said.
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien suspects that is true. "It clears up the question as to whether attaching a GPS device to a vehicle that thereafter tracks its movements is a 'search' under the Fourth Amendment," O'Brien wrote in an e-mail yesterday.
"However, that conclusion does not end the inquiry, as the court did not say that a search warrant is required in all cases when a GPS is used in that manner."
Dispatch reporter Theodore Decker contributed to this story.

I grew up in Arizona and spent the first 30 years of my life there. It is a beautiful state, especially if you like the outdoors. Some of my best memories involve camping trips with friends and family throughout the mountains and deserts of the state. One fixture on those trips was the blue and white trucks of Swift Transportation (NYSE:SWFT), which seem to grow as fast as the population of Arizona. These nostalgic memories were triggered recently when SWFT popped up on my value screens.
7 reasons Swift has upside from its current price of just over $10 a share:
- Insiders have bought over 300,000 in net shares over the past 8 months.
- The median price target by the 13 analysts that cover the stock is $15 a share.
- Consensus estimates for FY2012 and FY2013 have risen smartly over the past three months.
- In addition to its yearly estimates going up recently, it has easily beat quarterly earnings estimates in each of the last two quarters of 2011 and beat on revenues on the earnings report that just hit the wires.
- Operating cash flow more than tripled from FY2009 to FY2011 and OCF grew sequentially in each of the four quarters of 2011.
- It has a forward PE of 9 and a five year projected PEG of .33, both of which are substantially under their historical averages.
- The stock is cheap at under 5 times operating cash flow and just over 40% of annual revenues. Its industry should benefit as the economy continues to slowly improve.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in SWFT over the next 72 hours.

RICHARDSON, Texas — The Eastern New Mexico University football team is hoping recent history repeats itself in the Lone Star Conference South Division.
The Greyhounds were picked for last place in the seven-team South's preseason poll, released on Monday by the conference office. Last year, West Texas A&M was chosen for last place and Angelo State for sixth in the poll before those teams finished 1-2 and earned NCAA Division II playoff berths.
Second-year ENMU coach Mark Ribaudo says he doesn't put a lot of stock in prognostications.
"I really don't care what people think of us anyway," Ribaudo said. "I think we're going to be a decent football team."
In a vote of 16 coaches, sports information directors and sportswriters, WT was a narrow choice to repeat its title with 88 points to 86 for Tarleton State, 80 for Texas A&M-Kingsville and 77 for Midwestern State.
Despite that, WT had at least one vote for everything from first through seventh, as did Angelo State — which was tabbed for fifth place with 61 points.
Abilene Christian finished sixth with 36 points, while the Greyhounds had 30 points and were chosen last on nine ballots. The Hounds (5-6, 2-4 South in 2005) are trying to bounce back from their first losing record since 1997.
"I think the (division) is going to be a lot like those rankings," said Ribaudo, who has been on ENMU's coaching staff since 1997 and last year replaced the late Bud Elliott as head coach. "We're not going to know for a while what's really going on."
In the North Division, Southeastern Oklahoma earned 12 of 14 first-place votes and was a solid favorite for the division title. The Savage Storm, which has gone 30-11 over the past four seasons, earned 81 points in the North poll to 67 for Central Oklahoma.
ENMU players are scheduled to report on Aug. 9, with practice beginning the next day. The Hounds open the season on Sept. 7 in a Thursday night contest at Northeastern State.

I never thought my Jetsonian dream would ever come true, but now there's the Dilberito, with 100% of 23 vitamins and Jamba Juice's Smoothies. Why do I mention Jamba?

Letter to the editor
February 4, 2002-- Home Textiles Today,
It's been almost 25 years since I attended my first Heimtextil Exhibition in Frankfurt. Having been brought up on New York jobber markets and early drapery and window covering shows, Heimtex was awesome. The color, designs, the displays, the different languages, cultures was most impressive. And then there was the U.S. pavilion, … the crème of the New York convertor and mill companies.
I came to Heimtex as an attendee and wrote the odd order in the house while walking around, but there came a point where I made a decision that international trade was the way of the future, even though Rockland, a lining company pushing white and ivory, could easily become intimidated by its surroundings. The first year that Rockland did exhibit in Hall 5 … there was me and one other person, and most of the time we sat. However … at the last Exhibition in January, our stand had grown by over five times in square meters. (The Rockland Mills division of Rockland Industries was awarded the President's E Award for Export Excellence by the Commerce Department in 1991 and the President's EH Award for Export Excellence in 1995.) Needless to say, the decision to go international, at least for Rockland, was the right thing to do at the time, the interim years, now and for the future. But other things have changed, too.
The face and roster of the companies in the American pavilion are nowhere near the roster that used to attend. The image once given by the large mills and convertors is gone. Perhaps … they decided to go off on their own … with very large stands at extremely high prices. As business conditions changed, the cost … may have become too much to justify.
Now … many of the large American exhibitors with great names are for the most part just not showing at all. I am wondering if it's not time to go back to that point where the U.S. pavilion, with smaller stands and lesser expense, would be the right venue for these companies to rejoin the international sales community. I know to do so would call for a bending of the rules by the U.S. government in terms of what's shown and what's sold on these stands. I find this somewhat of a paradox, since regardless of where goods are made, if they are sold by American suppliers, U.S. warehouses are used, employing Americans using U.S. freight and U.S. offices, all of which pay U.S. taxes.
The United States has lowered our duty rates and quotas to a point where incoming goods from other nations have found their way into great use by the American decorative fabric industry. These rates were lowered by the U.S. government — the same government that inhibits the selling of these products at U.S. pavilions, even [given the above mentioned benefits].
I am complaining about … what could be done to further enhance the quality level of U.S. exhibitors and the impression such a change would have on foreign buyers at the U.S. pavilion. I've been told that it is a couple of Senators from North and South Carolina … who are standing in the way of progressive legislation.
Does this make common sense?
Stanley Fradin, president, Rockland Mills division, Rockland Industries Inc.

Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens And Ashley Benson Ride Vespas In Bikinis (Pictures)
Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine were spotted zooming through the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, Tuesday afternoon wearing bright colored bikini tops with hot pants while riding on Vespa scooters.
The four actresses are visiting the Sunshine State's west coast while filming upcoming movie Spring Breakers, about four life-long best friends who decide to rob a restaurant in order to finance their spring break trip.
The girls get arrested when they arrive, but end up meeting and getting bailed out by a drug dealer named Alien, played by James Franco. The film is expected sometime next year.
Glee's Heather Morris, whose nude photos leaked online earlier this week, also stars in the film. Hudgens saw nude photos of herself leaked a year ago this week, for the third time in the last five years.

Samsung has launched a series of 'smart feature phones' under the moniker of REX. The four touch-screen, dual-SIM models, REX 60, REX 70, REX 80, REX 90, under the series, have been priced between Rs. 4,280 and Rs 6,490.
All the phones support Smart Dual SIM allowing users to receive calls on the standby SIM as call waiting when the user is on a call through the primary SIM. The REX 70 and REX 90 also offer true 'hot swap' for the SIM cards, which essentially means that the user will not need to restart their phones. None of the phones are 3G enabled, however, the REX 80 and REX 90 phones support Wi-Fi connectivity. The company claims that the phones have been developed in India, and will be introduced across other growing markets.
The phones are based on Samsung's own feature phone OS featuring Samsung's Touchwiz User Interface (the company has integrated the same UI on its Galaxy range of Android phones) and support Java apps. The phones come preloaded with Facebook, Twitter, ChatOn, Google Talk and other messaging and social apps. Samsung has also preloaded 10 full version games from Gameloft. All phones also feature an FM radio tuner and support FM recording.
