Johnathon Fann, 30, Eldorado, was sentenced Jan. 23 by Judge Walden E. Morris in Saline County Circuit Court to 10 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections and two years of mandatory supervised release after having pled guilty to the offense of unlawful participation in methamphetamine manufacturing.
On Jan. 24, 2012, an information was filed charging Fann with unlawful participation in methamphetamine manufacturing, a class one felony. Class one felonies are punishable by a term of incarceration from four to 15 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections and a $25,000 fine.
The investigation was led by the Saline County Sheriff's Department after receiving a tip from a driver of a vehicle stopped in the roadway, according to a release from the Saline County State's Attorney's Office. The driver of the vehicle could see several bottles with tubing, foil and other items lying in the roadway next to the passenger door of a stopped vehicle, according to the release.
Saline County deputies responded and were able to conduct an investigative stop of the vehicle which revealed an active methamphetamine lab.
Assistant State's Attorney, Jason A. Olson, led the successful prosecution of Fann.

Enjoy spill-proof sipping at work or on the trail with the 20 fl. oz. CamelBak eddy™ water bottle.
Redesigned cap and bite valve provide faster flow and enhanced durability
Flip, Bite and Sip. No tipping required (though possible: just remove the straw)
New, sleek shape fits in the hand and most cup holders
Dishwasher Safe: All parts are top-rack dishwasher safe
Durable and spill-proof
Easy to carry: Integrated loop handle makes it easy to clip a carabiner or carry with the crook of a finger
100% free of BPA and BPS
Wide-mouth opening is easy to fill with ice and water and a breeze to clean
CamelBak Big Bite™ Valve is compatible with CamelBak® eddy™ and CamelBak® Groove® bottles
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
CLEANING THE EDDY The bottle, bite valve, straw and lid can be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water. Pull off the bite valve and straw from the cap. If you like to use a bottle brush, we don't recommend forcing a brush through the Bite Valve slit. If you have the brush kit, run the small brush through the straw.
For a deeper cleaning, add a drop of mild soap or tablespoon of bleach to a clean glass jar filled with water. Drop the bite valve, straw and cap into the solution, and tightly close the jar's lid. Shake the mixture around for 30 seconds, and then let the parts soak for about 15 minutes. Rinse and shake dry.
To re-assemble the lid: Flip the stem collar (the component the bite valve attached to originally) to the open position. Orient the bite valve so the finger tab points towards the front of the cap. Push the bite valve firmly onto the stem collar. Press the straw back into place on the bottom of the lid. Ensure the straw covers the notches completely.
First-time use: What's the clear thing on top of the cap for? Do I remove it or cut it to drink?
The clear thing is the CamelBak® Big Bite™ Valve. This patented feature provides easy drinking and spill-proof safety. Do NOT remove or cut this piece to drink. Simply bite it slightly and sip as you would out of a straw.
Can/How do I freeze the CamelBak® eddy™ with bite valve?
You can freeze the bottle but make sure:
We also recommend that the bite valve stem NOT be flipped up or down if there is any frozen water in the tube. Wait until thawed.
Can I use the CamelBak® eddy™ in high-altitude/ low-pressure environments (i.e. airplanes, mountain altitudes, etc)?
Yes, but with special care because pressure can force liquid out through the straw. Keep the bottle right side up with the bite valve in the closed position. Remove the straw for additional protection. Expect a bit of "spurt" during the first sip. You may also twist the cap open to release any pressure and then close before your first sip.
Can I put hot liquids in it?
We do not recommend using with hot drinks because the experience will be similar to drinking hot liquid through a straw.
What happens if I put sports drinks/juice in the CamelBak® eddy™?
Use of any of these drinks in the bottle is fine, but thorough cleaning after each use is recommended.
Can I use with carbonated beverages?
You can use any beverage in the CamelBak® eddy™, however we do not recommend the use of carbonated beverages with the straw configuration because pressure can force liquid out through the straw. To use with carbonated beverages, we recommend that you remove the straw and drink via "tip and sip."
What max temperature (freezing/boiling water) can the CamelBak® eddy™ withstand?
The CamelBak® eddy™ can withstand being filled with boiling water or stored in below freezing temperatures. We do not recommend boiling the bottle itself. Is the CamelBak® eddy™ microwave safe?
Feel free to use the CamelBak® eddy™ to warm up liquids (ie. up to a minute), but we don't recommend cooking your dinner in it. Do NOT microwave with the cap in place as it contains metal screws that are not microwave safe.
Does the CamelBak® eddy™ work with back country purifier filters/microfilters?
The CamelBak® eddy™ is compatible with filters that adapt to a 63 mm screw top opening (in other words, it's compatible with most filters on the market).
Does it hold residual taste?
No, there is no residual taste in the bottle materials, and it's also stain-resistant. Some sports drinks and other flavored beverages can leave behind residue of flavor oils that could require extra cleaning.
What happens if I take the straw off?
Removal of the straw allows a "tip and sip" mode of drinking.

This is a great product, but if this is your first time using, it may not be as easy to just bite and sip. You actually have to pull apart the slit at top so you can drink. So take off the rubber mouth piece at the top. Then pull apart at the tip. Once the slit is open, it is works great.

good size for a short day hike
Love it!
By Young Professional

Perfect water bottle to take to work! Fits great in a car cupholder and easy to clean. Only complaint is that it's not good for the beach/pool-- sunscreen somehow destroys the pattern.
By Jody
from Lincoln, NE
It sits on my desk so I remember to drink water throughout the day. Plus, it's pretty, so it looks good sitting there.

Make the staw longer!!
By Alexis Manuel
from Williamsburg, VA
The straw is way too short!!!! I'm just drinking my water, still got a bit left and BAM!!!! I can't drink anymore! For the price of this bottle they should be able to make it a little bigger.
Cute and Comfortable Water Bottle
By Cassie the Couch Potato
from New York, NY
I use the product to have water in my classes. Although I was worried that it was a little too small, this helps me to drink a lot more water throughout the day.

Bought this for my 7 year old granddaughter. It is just the right size for her age. She is already the envy of her cousins. I will be ordering one for the other 5 now.

Best water bottle!
By Jess
from Cincinnati, OH
Probably the best water bottle I've owned! It's lightweight, durable, and doesn't make water taste weird. The handle is ergonomic and makes carrying it on ling hikes easy. I take it on hikes and take it around campus. I love the straw and that it's spill-proof, I usually just throw it into my backpack without any worries.
Great, small camelbak!
By Caitlyn the Camper
from Minneapolis, MN
This product is so cute. The color is great and the size is jut right for daily use, at the gym, etc. I would want something bigger for camping or adventures, though.
By Lo
from Ventura, California
This water bottle is my new best friend. I take it with me everywhere! It is easy to refill and totally durable. Another thing that's nice is that it's quiet when you take a drink. A lot of other water bottles are very noisy and annoying.

excerpts from social innovation course evaluations freshman through graduate students
Social Innovation courses available at Marquette.
"The content of this class changed me. It was exciting, new, engaging, and it captured my attention like very few things have in the past. Additionally, it opened my eyes to a network here at Marquette and provided supplements to the class itself. I feel like this class will be incorporated into the rest of my career at Marquette, as well as the path I take after Marquette."
"This class was absolutely incredible. As a first-semester freshman, it influenced my view of my own major and helped me pick a second major. I would recommend this class to everyone possible, although it takes a certain person to truly take away the message from the class."
"Social Innovation is the future of our generation and this class helped us develop problem-solving skills."
"This seminar was my favorite class of the semester because it really centered around real life. This seminar was interesting and provided a scope beyond Marquette and beyond myself. I would definitely take another class or seminar in the next level of Social Entrepreneurship if it were offered here. This seminar not only opened up opportunities for me but also made me look at education and my time at Marquette in a whole new light because it helped me realize how much I can do, even if it seems daunting, to make a difference."
"To me, this class what the epitome of why I came to Marquette and why I chose the honors program."
"This class gave me a whole new outlook on the world's problems and how to come up with effective solutions."
"This was a very valuable class that introduced new and valuable ideas to nonprofit management."
"I'm delighted Social Entrepreneurship was offered as an elective as it is a very important and progressive movement. I am surprised it is only offered as an elective, though, as opposed to core curriculum for Public Service students."
"Such an interesting topic that REALLY makes you think about the world in such a different way! LOVED this class!"
"A class like this validates my decision to attend MU grad school. It surpassed my expectations and ranks as one of the best classes I've taken so far in the program."
"This class seriously made me question my intended major [...] and made you think not just because you had to but because you wanted to."

This is one of the most powerful passages for me.
"5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death
even death on a cross!
9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father."
He humbled himself and became obedient to death
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place...
Jesus embraced the very lowest of stations. Jesus proved his pure obediance to God, his Father and accepted his fate.
What did he get from the free will choices? exaltation to the highest place. Obviously I want to live a live like that of my Lord Jesus. So I always challenge myself. Could I do that? When it is my turn to show my absolute obediance to my Lord, will I?
If I believe in God, if I believe in Jesus, then the answer must be yes. I almost want this challenge now. To show Jesus that I am ready and that I believe in him and embrace him as my Lord.
"continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. "
Reassuring that it is OK to have fear in letting go of selfish ambitions and following the Lord. It is scary. As I try to grow closer to God through Jesus, it is scary. To me, Christianity is how you live and breathe. I know that the path I am on is life transforming and it is scary.
"14Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe "
Like I said in the beginning this book is profound to me. I am not the obediant type. But if I were to obey, it would be to Jesus. Jesus I trust with my life.
In Philippians chapter 1 I think Paul and Timothy are asking us to do what we are all doing on this forum.For all of us Christians to stick together standing side by side with one strong purpose-to tell the good news.Paul and Timothy also remind us that no one and nothing can hold us back if we have true faith in God and that we should always stay optimistic and have no fear because this life is short but our other life is eternal.Sry this wasnt longer but but Im not the best writer and I find it hard to express myself on paper or the cpu.Ill be back soon to share my thoughts in another short post about chapter 2 lol
I promise I shall give my reflections on chapter two tommorow afternoon
I'm sorry guys...I spent so long in the Mormon thread that I've run out of time. But I will certainly do it tommorow lunchtime
I know its not when I said I would...but at least I'm talking in the other thread about The Bible
Chapter Two
Verses 1-4
Paul is talking about Community. He lists a set of experiences which are desired by the Chuch (Consolation for Hardship, Comfort through Love, Fellowship in Spirit, happiness through empathy and understanding) Then tells the Church how those can be obtained.
Sharing in the same Love by having one united goal, which all can aggree upon as being the root of progression. Caring for others in a pastoral sense, and paying attention to the situation and circumstances of others.
He points out that argument, and vanity can be stumbling blocks and adds extra motivation. Since the church is heavily relient upon Paul he tells them how happy it would make him, if they did these things "Fulfill ye my joy"
Verses 4-11
A short diologue on Unity within the Trinity personalities, particularly on the aspect of Christ becoming part of the Created Order, and voluntarily aggreeing to experience all the negatives of such a feat. A manner which is terribly unbecoming for who he actually was. Traditional Monarchs do not make themselves subjects.
He hints that because of the glory that a re-united Trinity expressed after asscension-tide. The same is available to all Humans who move towards being Christlike. Its a very simple form of Bribery. If you want the reward, try to put into action what is being suggested.
Verses 12-18
I strongly suspect that this was one of Pauls last letters to this particular Church before receiving Sentance. It is written as a kind of commission that could be used as a final statement for one approaching death. Its as if he's writing...just in case he happens to die.
He commands the church to "work out your own salvation" that is not about work in terms of deeds...the emphasis is on "own" its like a Mother telling her Child, its time to leave the next and fend for itself. He is also largely casting them back on GOD alone and not seemingly handing them over to anyone else. Simply promising that if He should die, GOD will take care of them.
The urge is to continue in spite of what might happen to him by " a crooked and perverse Nation" This is very much telling them what to do upon hearing that he has been martyred I reckon. Although he's pretty sure it wont happen, he isnt as Certain as he made out in the first Chapter. This is an Epilogue. In fact the close is much like a Prayer out of the Book of Common Prayer used in the Funerial Sentances. Paul asks that they do this so that upon Judgement, he may look back and see that what he perecieves to be the meaning of His Life, is realized. He may also be subtly asking for prayer after he has died...Holding forth the word of Life (that I may rejoice in the day of Christ) Pray for my salvation upon my Death?
Verses 19-30
I havent got a clue what he is talking about. I know his best friend...but the thing with the guy who got Ill and nearly died eh
No study last weekend?
Hey folks, no study last weekend?
I'm getting a lot out of it.
Alright well i will not lie, o am not the best at reading my bible. so we need to get this study back up and running again so i have something to oush me, the MH community! I am not the expert on the bible so I will let someone else decide what book we will start to read....
I wish I got in on thsiw hen it started. It's great for Christians to encourage each other to study God's word. I love writing short articles on passages that really speak to me. I think it would be better to use smaller sections than an entire chapter. I think we should start in Matthew and go through the New Testament. I'll be glad to start it back up.
As for Matthew- What do you think is the point behind mentioning the genealogy besides the fact Matthew was written to Jews and this sort things was important. Can we glean anything of an application of sorts from this. I will reserve my opinions till I hear from some others. I preached on it once and was very fulfilled from it and am curious if any other person took away the same thing I did.

SUGAR LAND, Texas - Four people were arrested after a shooting and chase that stemmed from a drug deal, investigators said, but the alleged victim has a different story of that happened.
Sugar Land police Cole Lukens told them that the group robbed him at gunpoint on Cypress Ridge Lane and Ellicot Way in the Sweetwater area around 11:30 p.m. on Monday.
Lukens told KPRC Local 2 that he was attacked when he was on his way to see a woman he met online.
"I met her one time before, actually, and (she) just called me and asked if I wanted to go out to IHOP. I said yeah and I was going to pick her up at the corner," Lukens said. "I pulled up and her other friends jumped out of the bush."
Lukens said he was ambushed.
"I saw him come up with a gun, so I took off," he said.
Investigators said a shot was fired and it went through Lukens' car, grazing him in the back. Lukens then called police.
Officers later spotted the group's car, which had been reported stolen, police said. The group led officers on nearly 25-mile chase that ended with a crash in the Beasley area, police said.
The four suspects were arrested. They were identified as Grayson VanRheen, 20, Sarah Moehle, 18, Jasmine Claxton, 23, and Jessey Eaton, 27. They have all been charged with aggravated assault.
Detectives said they determined that Lukens' story wasn't true.
"Something was going on last night that was not what was initially reported," police spokesman Doug Adolph said. "Turned out to be a drug transaction involving cocaine. Somebody wasn't happy, a shot was fired and a man was injured."
Lukens suffered a non-life-threatening wound, police said. He has not been charged in connection with the case.

Is Justin Bieber a teen angel? Not during his pedestrian concert at American Airlines Center
Just in case you ever wondered if Justin Bieber was indeed a teen angel, his sold-out concert Monday night at American Airlines Center confirmed that fact. There he was with 20-feet silver wings strapped to his back descending onto the two-tiered stage.
The entrance would have been memorable, actually, had Bieber not treated it as just another day at the office. About a minute after he was un-winged, he launched into the generic dance-pop number "All Around the World." The platform quickly became sensory overload central – eight costumed dancers, confetti, pyrotechnics, seven video screens, a big band and background singers.
All that sometimes nonsensical window dressing, not to mention the repetitive thump-thump beat, is aimed at keeping the young audience constantly engaged. It also serves as a way to divert attention away from the star's artistic shortcomings.
The 18-year-old Canadian has one of the most colorless voices I've ever heard in concert. It lacks any personality, easily slipping into monotone. During one song in particular, "Die In Your Arms," not a bad tune with nice old-school R&B flavor, Bieber simply could not carry the melody. It fell completely flat.
"Die In Your Arms" is one of several songs Bieber performed from his current album, Believe. The record arrived heralded as his mature effort, his boy-becomes-man song collection. That theme was part of a video montage featuring – get this – the changing of the hairstyle from feathered bangs to layered pompadour. A monumental moment in Bieber's life and career, yes indeed.
Yet so much of the show still smacked of teen dream overkill – from his cutesy duet "Beautiful" with opening act and fellow Canadian Carly Rae Jepsen to the two throwaway girl songs, "Out of Town Girl" and "One Less Lonely Girl."
There is, however, a bit of a conundrum at work here. Bieber still hasn't found a comfortable, unrehearsed flow for his stage performance. Everything that came out of his mouth sounded memorized or stilted. Spontaneity for him was basically awkward small talk to fill the silent spaces. But when he took an instrument, he finally looked like a natural.
This isn't to say that Bieber is a master guitarist, drummer or pianist, but he played all three with ease, confidence. He had some nice finger picking happening on the acoustic six-string and got a fierce beat out of his drum kit. He elegantly sat at a white piano during the inspirational closer "Believe."
Maybe that's his future. Otherwise his songs are so pedestrian – predictable dance-pop of the day with "Beauty and a Beat," "Never Say Never" and "Take You," or sugary ballads devoid of real emotions with "Catching Feelings" and "Fall." Even the eye-popping enormity of 20-feet silver wings can't make them compelling.

Very nice job Brian, that is one cool looking Snow Clone.
I can vouch for Big Water's work - just got a Darth Revan armour set and a Nihilus mask from him, top notch work.
Wow! That is amazing, great job on this!
Your efforts sure paid off!
Wish I had the artistic abilities to do this.
I just started my sculpt for this bucket, and can only hope it comes out as nice as yours... Question, did you cast the dome and the faceplate separately? It kinda looks like you did in the finished helmet, but if that is the case I wonder why.
Regardless, fantastic work

This month, 10,000 athletes ages 50+ gather in Cleveland for the National Senior Games. We talk to four inspiring athletes who prove that you�re never too old to follow your dreams.
�Senior citizen.� It�s a dreaded designation, one that most people of-a-certain-age are reluctant to accept, and understandably so�more often than not, the title connotes frailty, weakness and other qualities associated with old age. But this summer, 10,000 elite athletes from around the nation will flock to Cleveland, Ohio from July 19to August 1to compete in the National Senior Games. Strong, powerful and fiercely competitive, these men and women will give new meaning to the word �senior.� Sponsored by Humana, the biennial National Senior Games is the largest multi-sport event in the world devoted to seniors. Sporting events include cycling, swimming, triathlon, tennis, golf, racquetball and more, with contestants ranging from age 50 into their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond. Although the competition will be intense, the event is above all a celebration of health, wellness and strength at any age. We recently spoke to four incredible athletes who will be sprinting, jumping and hurdling their way to glory in July�s Senior Games, proving that you�re never �too old� to follow your dreams.

text: Cambridge Common/Flagstaff Park Project Construction on the Cambridge Common is nearly complete. Thank you to all who attended the ceremonial opening of the Common on Sunday, June 26. The Cambridge Common and Flagstaff Park project aims to rehabilitate all aspects of the Common as well as improve conditions for all users of these parks and those travelling along this section of Massachusetts Avenue, from Garden Street to Cambridge Street. It also seeks to unify the historic landscape of the Common by simplifying the vocabulary of the design. The planning of the project has been underway for many years, along with securing funding for the $5.1m project. The project will replace all pathway surfaces on the Common to meet access codes with bituminous paving with a brick edge, replace and upgrade all benches and trash cans, plant over 100 trees and remove older under-story plantings, improve drainage and turf surfaces, and replace the lighting system utilizing efficient, LED fixtures and add lighting to pathways where it is missing. Across the street, along the Massachusetts Avenue side of Flagstaff Park, the curbs will be moved out and a two-way multi-use path constructed with crossings at each end to create better bicycle and pedestrians connections between Harvard Square and Massachusetts Avenue northbound.

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Norway-Vulcan Schools to see improvements this fall
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
NORWAY – Construction and technology upgrades are under way at Norway-Vulcan Area Schools.
The school district's 2013 School Building and Site and Refunding Bonds were sold to make improvements to the school building and its equipment.
Superintendent Lou Steigerwald said improvements include a roof replacement on one-third of the school building; a new brick retaining wall at the entrance/exit of the superintendent's office; new entrance doors, cameras and an intercom system at all outside doors of the school; new light poles; and a black, vinyl six-foot fence on the elementary playground.
New wiring for the phones and technology and fire alarm system throughout the building have been installed, along with new lighting in the classrooms, offices and hallways.
Steigerwald said this improvement will save the district about 30 percent on lighting costs.
With the new phone system, there is a phone in every classroom, and the district will have better voicemail capability.
"This is good for security purposes," Steigerwald said.
The district switched to a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) system shared with the Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District, which will save money on phone bills. Included in this upgrade was a link to a new fiber-optic network.
StonHard is the type of new floor on all the bathroom floors. All school bathrooms were painted and will be re-equipped with new toilets, faucets and sinks.
A projector and drop-down screen is being added to the auditorium.
In addition, the chemistry lab is being updated with more storage at individual stations and new faucets.
Teachers have been issued their laptops and iPads.
All students in grade three through 12 will get an iPad4 issued to them. Norway-Vulcan Area Schools is the first school in the Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District to put iPads in the hands of students. About 700 iPads were ordered at a cost of approximately $350,000.
Technology coordinator Dale Maahs installed equipment on the iPads that will track how the iPads are being used. Those issued an iPad4 will sign a user agreement prohibiting playing games, shopping and hacking.
The biggest project with the bond monies is the high school gymnasium.
Steigerwald said this project is moving along for completion by the end of August.
The gym has a new floorboard, backboard, scoreboard and updated lighting. Windows were added to the weight room.
Steigerwald said the workout area on the sports deck has been transformed with the center wall removed, flooring added where a gym divider used to stand, and the wall facing the gym has been drywalled.
Bleachers will be installed on both sides of the gym.
The gym lighting is complete, the ceiling and wall paint are done, speakers are installed, and the flooring has begun to be put in place.
"There are now nine speakers versus one where it was hard to hear," Steigerwald said. "They will start sanding, sealing and painting the floor next month."
Basemen Floors, Inc. of Marquette is contracted to do the gym remodeling.
The middle school gym will also be sanded and refurbished.
"It's coming along," Steigerwald said of the school bond project.
Gundlach Champion of Iron Mountain is the construction manager for the school buildings project.
Trade contractors working on the project also include: general trades by Roy Ness Contracting and Sales of Escanaba, asphalt shingles by The Markell Company of Iron Mountain, aluminum framed entrances, windows and glazing by Northern Michigan Glass of Traverse City, painting by National Coatings, Inc., resinous flooring by Terrazzo Creation & Renewal, gymnasium bleachers by Interkal, LLC., plumbing by Valley Mechanical of Menominee, electrical, communications and safety by Rapid Electric of Escanaba, and cabling and communications by Van Ert Electric Co. of Kingsford.
The school district's 2013 School Building and Site and Refunding Bonds were sold at a true interest rate of 1.89 percent with a final maturity of 2025 (a repayment term of approximately 12 years).
The 2013 refunding bonds reduce the school district interest expense approximately $173,944 for the taxpayers. This will occur through lower debt payments over the next six years with a final maturity of 2019.
As a result of the favorable bond sale, Norway-Vulcan Area Schools' property owners are projected to see a reduction in their millage rate of between .20 and .25 mills.
Playground improvements, lighting upgrades and retaining wall modifications total $200,000; building remodeling including re-roofing, HVAC and electrical upgrades, technology infrastructure upgrades, security upgrades and gym remodeling total $1,270,000; and classroom furnishings, new phone system and security system total $550,000.
Construction total is $2,820,000 with a $300,000 construction contingency and $350,000 in fees for a total of $3,470,000.

Sports news from the Pollock, SD area.
Posted 2/04/13 (Mon)
By Wendy Thorstenson
History repeated itself when the Lady Wolverines connected on a buzzer beater to defeat Linton-HMB by one point again this year. Herreid-Selby Area over came an early fourth quarter deficit of seven points for the 44-43 win at Linton on Saturday, Feb. 2. Last season a three-point shot at the buzzer lifted H-SA to a 36-35 win over the Lions.
H-SA had narrowed the Lions fourth quarter lead to two, 37-39, when L-HMB connected on a field goal to go ahead 37-41 with 45 seconds left in the game. Shauni Schwartz drilled a three-pointer with 22 seconds to pull the Wolverines within one, 40-41. A pair of Lion free throws left H-SA down by three, 40-43. With six seconds remaining, Kendra Thorstenson drove the lane for a jumper to cut the Lions' lead to one, 42-43. She missed at the charity stripe, but Schwartz tied up the ball on the rebound. With four seconds remaining, H-SA got possession under its own basket. McKenzie Frank made the inbound pass to Haylee Biel who put up the shot under the basket to give the Wolverines a one-point advantage as the whistle blew.
In the first quarter, Herreid-SA pulled away with a 12-6 lead as Frank hit a pair of treys and Taylor Madden, Schwartz and Abbey Fjeldheim also found the basket. L-HMB made a pair of free throws and then hit a field goal with eight seconds remaining to pull within two, 12-10. Biel swished a pair of free throws after the quarter ended to put H-SA ahead 14-10.
The Lady Wolverines led the whole second quarter until a six-point run by the Lions tied the game at 21 points with a minute and a half left in the half. Schwartz hit her second three-point basket of the quarter to give the Wolverines a 24-21 edge at halftime.
L-HMB had the first basket in the third quarter and K. Thorstenson answered with a Wolverine basket before the Lions hit two more field goals to go ahead 26-27. Schwartz added another basket followed by K. Thorstenson scoring on a fast break to give H-SA a 30-27 lead with three minutes left in the quarter. The Wolverines went cold and didn't score again until two and a half minutes into the fourth quarter while the Lions finished out the third with four field goals to go ahead 30-36 at the end of the third quarter.
The Lions opened up the fourth with another basket for their biggest lead of the game, 30-37, before Madden hit a three and Schwartz added a basket. The Lions hit the next basket and K. Thorstenson scored on another fast break, leaving the Wolverines down by two, 37-39 with half the quarter remaining. The score remained there until the exciting final minute of the game.
Schwartz led the team with 17 points, 10 rebounds and four steals. McKenna Flyberg paced the Lions with 11 points.
H-SA connected on 11 of 25 regular field goals and six of 18 from beyond the arc.
Others grabbing some of the Wolverines' 25 rebounds included Biel, five, Madden and Frank, both with four and Kelsey Quaschnick and Fjeldheim, each with one.
H-SA had 15 fouls compared to six by the Lions. The Lady Wolverines had eight steals and committed 15 turnovers.
Biel 1 2/2 4
Frank 0/2 6
Fjeldheim 2/2 2
Madden 1/1 5
Schwartz 4/3 17
J.Thorstenson 1 2
K. Thorstenson 4 0/1 8
Wolverines 11/6 4/5 44
Lions 14/3 6/12 43
The JV team suffered a 40-55 loss. H-SA fell behind 7-16 after the first quarter and trailed 16-28 at half time. The Wolverines had a big third quarter out scoring Linton 13 to 10 to cut the Lions' lead to 29-38 after three quarters. Linton had another big fourth quarter for a 15-point final edge.
Leading the scoring for the Wolverines was Jana Thorstenson with 15 points and Quaschnick with nine. Others scoring included Tegan Meidinger, five, Lacey Houck, Michaela Seibel, Brogan Kary, Courtney Anderson and Jess Kurtz, all with two points, and Grace Goehring, one.
The JV squad grabbed 34 rebounds led by Meidinger with nine, Seibel, seven, McKenzie Reierson, five, and J. Thorstenson, four. Meidinger had four assists and Reierson added three.

Handles the
:include: filename directive.
If the first line of the included file starts with '#', and contains an encoding information in the form 'coding:' or 'coding=', it is removed.
If all lines in the included file start with a '#', this leading '#' is
removed before inclusion. The included content is indented like the
:include: directive.
# File rdoc/markup/pre_process.rb, line 257 def include_file name, indent, encoding full_name = find_include_file name unless full_name then warn "Couldn't find file to include '#{name}' from #{@input_file_name}" return '' end content = RDoc::Encoding.read_file full_name, encoding, true # strip magic comment content = content.sub(/\A# .*coding[=:].*$/, '').lstrip # strip leading '#'s, but only if all lines start with them if content =~ /^[^#]/ then content.gsub(/^/, indent) else content.gsub(/^#?/, indent) end end

Well, I'm sorry, but I've gotta give this recipe a thumbs down. Problems:--the dough never rose in the slightest (my yeast is fine, I just used it a week ago)--the dough was WAY too wet and sticky, even after I broke with the recipe and added a bunch more semolina flour to try to dry it out a bit--the taste was bland and cardboardish--the 500-600g of final dough never came close to filling the pan to a depth of 1.5cm as it was apparently supposed toMaybe it was just me and the way I prepped it--I'm willing to entertain that notion. I'm willing to give it one more shot, if someone (either the original poster or someone else) would like to give more detailed instructions.

Plants "smell" siblings, scale back competition
A study out in Communicative and Integrative Biology shows the mechanism behind plants that can recognize their own siblings. These plants send out fewer roots when planted next to siblings than when they're planted next to strangers, a phenomenon the researchers think lessens competition among sibs but increases competition among unrelated plants.
The study was done in the lab of Harsh Bais, a researcher at the University of Delaware, on the common laboratory plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Bais and his graduate student Meredith Biedrzycki, the lead author on the paper, exposed seedlings to exudates, or root secretions, of siblings and of unrelated plants. The plants exposed to strangers' exudates had greater lateral root formation — that is, their roots spread further away from the plant.
The ecologists used wild-collected strains of Arabidopsis in the study to avoid the potential of lab-reared strains having unknown siblings. It's interesting that a well-studied lab plant would show this ability to sense its siblings. It would be interesting also to know what other wild plants have this heightened sense of family. Is it common, or specific to certain groups? Are there traits in Arabidopsis that make it a good lab plant and also give it advanced sensory capabilities?

Running In Place - Page 9
As he turned away from Colfax onto a highway, Engle heard a cry, "like a meowing kitten," in the backseat. Turning around, he looked into the wide eyes of a young boy, of, he guessed,18 months. Engle's vehicle had probably been "rented out," a common practice with stolen cars in downtrodden areas. His brain spinning worst-case scenarios, he made the decision to find his way back to that neighborhood, where the apparent mother stood yelling in the middle of the street. As he pulled up, the woman simply reached in, pulled out the child and hurried back to the house.
As heinous as that binge was, though, says Engle in addiction speak, "I had still not hit my bottom." It's not that he didn't want to quit. "Quitting is easy -- I've done it 100 times," he jokes. Engle thought the simple act of his first son's birth in May 1992, would be enough to make him quit.
His bottom would come on July 23, 1992, two months later, on a curb on notoriously crime-ridden Broadway Avenue in Wichita, Kansas. On the tail end of a six-day bender that ended with drug dealers shooting holes in his car—with him in it—and stealing the last of his money. He said a prayer for the first time in his life, asking for the suffering and craving to be taken away. "It seemed like a good time to quit," he says. "It was that simple."
That day, with "no one watching" (for him a key point, he says), Engle attended an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting (not his first)—in fact, three of them. The next day he went for his first run, a mile, of what he hoped would be a new life, "almost dying after having smoked crack for six days in a row." He would attend daily AA meetings for a year. Still sober 18 years later, he continues to attend them.

"Twelve-step recovery groups provide the backbone to the desire to stop being an addict," he says. "AA taught me how to start managing my life, not how to quit drugs."
During his first three years of sobriety, Engle channeled his addictive tendencies into running, ticking off 30 marathons. "The spirituality of running and recovery from drug addiction go hand in hand," he says. "The fear and frustration that I felt with drug addiction needed that outlet. I was finally able to get many of the same euphoric feelings that I got from drugs."
Near the end of that marathon spree, Engle experienced trail and ultrarunning for the first time—the latter quite unintentionally. That first foray into ultrarunning came while he was "working" a massive hailstorm in Brisbane, Australia, in 1996. On a whim, he had signed up for a "10K," but was shocked at the start line, when two locals struck up a conversation, asking, "So, have you ever done a 100K before?" Not ever having run more than 26.2 miles, Engle wanted to sneak to his car and escape, he says, but pride, and the fact that his car keys sat in his gym bag near the announcer/race director's feet, wouldn't allow it.

across multiple platforms, we had the opportunity to provide the UMES community
with a significant resource that could benefit a variety of people, especially
our students," said Jamie Webster, the university's assistant director of
information technology.
"Everybody may not have a brand new
Apple laptop," Webster said, "but most everyone has a smartphone or other
mobile device, and most don't go far without that device."
UMES' distinctive Student Services
Center rotunda dome is the app's easy-to-recognize screen image. It can be downloaded
at no charge from Apple's App Store on iTunes, or via the android app on Google
After months of study and testing, the
university settled on a mobile app that provides finger-tip links to key
resources that college students need for day-to-day activities.
The UMES app delivers quick access to a
faculty directory, a customized campus map, university social media platforms,
emergency contact information and a link to the university's Frederick Douglass
"If you want to stay connected to the
latest news and events, this mobile app will help you do that," said Alissa
Carr, UMES' marketing director.
The UMES mobile app is an electronic
tool faculty, staff and administrators also are encouraged to use, said Webster,
who headed the development team.
Future upgrades planned include
registration, course grades and class schedules.
The university's information technology
office, Webster added, is constantly looking at strategies "bridging the gap,
providing resources to those who may not otherwise have access."

Marvell, a leading developer of system-on-chip products for mobile and consumer electronics devices, has announced the world's first triple-core processor for mobile applications that supports output of stereo-3D graphics in 1080 resolution among other things. The device will power the incoming breed of multimedia-rich smartphones as well as tablets, but the level of performance it offers allows to use it in thin clients as well.
The Armada 628 is based on two ARM Cortex-A9 cores running at 1.50GHz and one Cortex-A9 core running at 624MHz. The third core is designed to support routine user tasks and acts as a system management processor to monitor and dynamically scale power and performance. The chip has 1MB of L2 cache, hardware WMMX2 and NEON acceleration and a highly optimized pipelined VFPv3 floating point engine. The graphics core of the Armada 628 features four stream processors and is capable of processing 200 million triangles per second. The Armada 628 supports LP-DDR2 or DDR3 memory up to 533MHz
In addition to the three ARM v7 cores, there are six additional processing engines to support 3D graphics, dual 1080p video encode/decode, high fidelity audio, advanced cryptography and digital photo data processing – for a total of nine dedicated core functions.
The SoC can output to two displays simultaneously and has two LCD, one HDMI and one EPD (electrophonetic display) controllers. The chip naturally support various peripheral and input/output functionality and is also designed to be the first mobile SoC to provide high-speed USB 3.0 connectivity.
Armada 628 supports DirectX, Open GL ES 2.0, and Open VG 1.1 – ensuring complete compatibility with the most hotly anticipated mobile game titles. Armada 628 supports RIM OS, Android, Linux, Windows Mobile, and full Adobe Flash.
Thanks to leading edge functionality and potentially exceptional performance amid low power consumption, Marvell Armada 628 is equally suitable for a wide range of applications, including, but not limited to media players, game consoles, smartphones, slates as well as thin clients or netbooks. At present Armada 628 is sampling and it is unknown when it becomes available on the market. However, given the fact that Marvell has implemented the world's first triple-core ARM processor with support for stereo-3D 1080p output, the company will likely not only compete for leadership in the ARM segment of the market, but will also have chances to tap the market of x86-based designs thanks to great performance and feature-set.
"Marvell has once again set the benchmark for the rest of the industry with the world's first 1.5GHz tri-core processor, delivering dual stream 1080p 3D video and 3D graphics performance with quad unified shaders for 200 million triangles per second delivered on ultra-low-power, long battery life smartphones and tablets. This is important because today's consumers expect robust enterprise and consumer applications delivered to the palm of their hands. Marvell is uniquely equipped to lead this mobile revolution as the semiconductor industry's one-stop shop solution provider," said Weili Dai, Marvell co-founder and vice president and general manager of Marvell semiconductor's consumer and computing business unit.
On the other hand, the Armada 628 does not support connectivity functions, such as 3G. This naturally adds a new and to the size of the device as well as power consumption.

How many times did you run the dough through your roller? Reading this makes me think of puff pastry, where you keep folding whole butter in at different intervals.
The action is similar except the voids are not the result of a fat separation, but rather trapped moisture which turns to steam. It also has a lot to do with the physical structure of the dough itself. It's an interesting effect. When done properly, you can't see any layers in the edge, yet it still puffs up.

Embraer Signs $400 Million Service Agreement with Azul, TRIP
Embraer signed a $400 million service contract with Brazilian regional carriers Azul and TRIP, the airframe manufacturer said Thursday.
The deal is a renewal contract and the largest of its kind that Embraer has signed for its pool services; under the contract Embraer will provide support for more than 350 spare parts and repairable components for Azul and TRIP E-Jets through 2020.
Azul and TRIP Linhas Aéreas announced their merger in May 2012 to form the third-largest airline group in Brazil behind TAM and GOL.
"Azul and TRIP, not only have one of the largest operating E-Jet fleets but the companies also have the highest daily utilization of E-Jets in the world. Embraer is proud to expand the partnership of this support operation," said Eduardo Munhós de Campos, vice president of commercial aviation at Embraer. More

Juan Muñoz's oneiric sculptural scenarios present a skewed version of reality — one infused, former Tate curator Sheena Wagstaff once noted, with a "Borgesian notion of slippage between fact and fiction." When the Spanish artist died in 2001, aged 48, he was at the peak of his career. The same year, "Double Bind," Tate Modern's second Turbine Hall commission, had enthralled visitors with its set of static characters suggesting a parallel world stuck between the institution's floors and walls; a large mid-career retrospective was about to tour America. More than ten years later, the public's fascination for Muñoz's work still endures.
Next week, Frith Street Gallery is opening "Juan Muñoz: An inaccessible moment." Curated by the gallery's Jane Hamlyn and Guardian's art critic Adrian Searle — both close friends of the artist's — the exhibition gathers rarely-shown works on paper and sculptures that were destined for "Double Bind" but didn't make the final cut. Searle shared with ARTINFO UK some of the thinking behind this much-anticipated exhibition.
What was the starting point for this show?
It is a little over a decade since the death of Juan Muñoz (in August 2001) and Jane Hamlyn at Frith Street Gallery and I thought it was an appropriate moment to make an exhibition which would both commemorate our late friend and also the importance London had for him for many years [Muñoz studied at Croydon School of Art and the Central School of Art and Design, and met his wife, the sculptor Cristina Iglesias, in London, Ed.]. The show is quite concentrated — a number of figures, some drawings, a group of very large prints.
How do you remember Muñoz?
Muñoz was my closest friend, for over a decade. I remember most his voice, which of course can be heard on the sound work "Man in a Room, Gambling" [1992] which he made with the British composer Gavin Bryars. In a way he still walks beside me. He was an exhilarating companion, and we collaborated on several projects together. He encouraged me to stop trying to be an artist and to focus on my writing, and to take more risks.
What do you think sets him apart?
What set him apart? He worked in so many ways - as a sculptor, as a maker of sound works, as a writer. I remember him as a choreographer of space, as an illusionist, as a storyteller. And as a man who liked to project the idea that he was both an intellectual (which he was) and a bit of a gangster (which was one of his illusions).
Could you tell me about the sculptures that were meant to be shown at Tate?
The figures here were amongst many that were originally intended to be shown as part of "Double Bind," [2001] in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. In the end, he didn't use them, and they went back to the studio outside Madrid. One, which uses a cast of his own head, was reworked that summer before he died. Throughout his career he would rework sculptures, reconfigure and adapt them.
How do you think this show will complement, or dialogue with the 2008 Tate exhibition?
The Tate show was a retrospective. The best version of it, with many significant changes, was staged by Lynne Cook at the Reina Sofia in Madrid. That's where it really came alive. The show at Frith Street is a very different kind of exhibition, with a very different aim. It is not a retrospective. We hope it allows the works to tell their own stories rather than trying to tell the story of the artist's development. It has a kind of drama, and we hope that it catches Juan's spirit.
"Juan Muñoz: An inaccessible moment," April 25 – June 20, 2012, Frith Street Gallery, London

Built in 1990, the Center for the Arts on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax hosts a wide range of performances in its concert hall, two theaters, a dance studio and three visual arts galleries.
The Concert Hall seats 1,935 on the main floor and balcony. Because there are no aisles, the rows have been widely spaced to allow room for people to reach their seats from the sides -- also making it possible to cross your legs during a performance. With a huge orchestra pit, wide rows and the balcony set back considerably from the stage, the space is in no way intimate but the acoustics are sharp and clean. It is home to the Fairfax Symphony Orchestra, the Fairfax Chorale and serves as the Northern Virginia venue for the Virginia Opera, which brings many of its productions north from Richmond and Norfolk.
TheaterSpace, the 140-seat black-box home of the Theater of the First Amendment, is in the adjoining building; the Harris Theatre, a 500-seat proscenium house, is just across one of the campus squares. The Harris is used mostly as recital space, although as the university's Division of Art and Visual Technology becomes more and more active, this is the hall that lends itself to multimedia theatrical efforts. The center also has three visual arts galleries and a tiny dance performance studio that accommodates 50 for recitals.
The center sponsors a number of performance series that bring in visiting orchestras, dance troupes, jazz musicians, chamber groups and soloists.

After reporting massive losses due to poor sales of 3DS and Wii hardware and software, Nintendo said that it would make its best to ensure successful launch of its next-generation home video game console Wii U. The firm also implied that the launch will occur in the second half of the year.
"We are also planning to launch the Wii U, which is the successor to the Wii, during the next fiscal year. We would like to show the final format of the Wii U at the E3 show next year. As we learned a bitter lesson with the launch of the Nintendo 3DS, we are trying to take every possible measure so that the Wii U will have a successful launch," said Satoru Iwata, the president of Nintendo.
Given the fact that Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) take place in June, it is pretty clear that the formal launch will occur in the second half of the year. Unfortunately, it is unknown when exactly and whether the launch will be worldwide or Nintendo will start with Japan and then proceed with sales in the U.S. and Europe. Given the fact that sales of Wii software and hardware are dropping accross the globe, it is clear that for Nintendo it is crucial to release the new system rather sooner than later.
Nintendo Wii U combines motion-sensing game play with the ability to support full HD graphics and generally performance demanding games that can run on consoles like Microsoft Xbox 360 or Sony PlayStation 3. The system itself is based on a custom IBM Power microprocessor as well as a modern custom AMD Radeon HD graphics processing unit with high-definition graphics and video support. But the main feature of the code-named Cafe game console is its unique controller with 6.2" touch-screen that also features an accelerometer and a gyroscope, a rumble feature, an inward-facing camera, a microphone and speakers that can be used to play both classic Gamecube/Wii games as well as specially designed titles that take advantage of the screen. Each Wii U console will be partnered with a new controller and can also use up to four additional Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus controllers. The system is also backward compatible and can play all Wii games and use all Wii accessories. Nintendo Wii U will cost more than $249.
