16 Amazing Things You'll See At An Air Show
If you're interested in new aviation technology, or if you just love watching planes take flight, air shows are the place to be. Learn about the latest aviation advances at the Paris Air Show. See it all in action June 17th to the 23rd.
1. Air shows are like the Fashion Week for planes. Aviation enthusiasts gather to look at the latest technology and see flight demonstrations from new aircrafts.
Over 10-12 million people per year attend air shows. That's a lot of airplane fans.
2. Take for example the Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger jetliner.
This double decker plane can hold up to 853 passengers.
3. See the Boeing C-17 military transport aircraft.
The C-17 features GE Aviation Systems' wing trailing edge panels, which help with aircraft control and redirection of airflow.
4. Be amazed at Boeing 747-8, the longest aircraft in the world.
It's also the heaviest aircraft manufactured in the United States, weighing at 975,000 pounds max.
5. Take a good look at the Airbus A400M Atlas, a propeller-powered military aircraft.
It cost approximately 136 million Euros to make.
6. Explore the Airbus A320.
It's the fastest-selling jet airliner in the world.
7. Prepare yourself for the Boeing 777, the world's most successful twin-engine, long-haul airplane.
The latest generation of planes uses the GE90-115B engine, which reigns as the world's most powerful jet engine (about 127,900 pounds of thrust).
8. Get a look at the CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter.
It was originally developed for the U.S. Marine Corps, and is now in use in Germany, Iran, Israel, and Mexico.
9. See a Sikorsky S-70i Black Hawk helicopter in action!
It's main use is for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In Hong Kong, they use this model for Government transportation.
10. Check out the Elektra One hybrid solar electric airplane.
It's the world's first airplane to complete an international flight using only solar power, and can fly 600 miles on a single charge!
11. And you can't have an air show without some snazzy aircraft stunts.
Let's take a look at some of the tricks you can see.
12. The aerobatic tricks solidify how advanced jet technology is.
And the colored smoke helps observers see the flight path taken in the air!
13. There are 5 basic aerobatic maneuvers at air shows.
Lines, Loops, Rolls, Spins, and Hammerheads.

Watertown Wedding In June
Elizabeth and Jeremy's Wedding
"We purchased a small cake from a local bakery for the wedding party and cupcakes for our guests. At $14.95 for 30 cupcakes you can't go wrong and they were DELICIOUS! People were asking me for days after the wedding where I had gotten them. I'm very proud of myself for coming up with the Sams Club Idea."
rachael and brandon's Wedding
Catherine and Jeremy's Wedding
"We got a fantastic deal on flowers by ordering on Samsclub.com - the flowers were beautiful, fresh, and delivered on time in perfect condition. GREAT MONEY SAVER!!!"
Lindsey and Derek's Wedding
"We bought our flowers online and had them delivered 2 days before the wedding for us to make our own bouquets. They turned out beautiful! None of the flowers were damaged in delivery. So much better of a price than going through a florist."
St. Joseph Wedding In March
"They got most of the flowers right, but sent us the wrong color for one box. They had to have me work through the vendor they use to get the flowers and it was a joke. The box we got said "orange" but the flowers were bright yellow. The vendor asked to see a photo, so we took a pic and e-mailed it. They told us to take a picture of the orange flower, not the yellow one -- which obviously made our point that the flowers were not orange at all! They did end up giving us a refund (we found out days later). They also sent the wrong daises -- dark centers instead of light. These were huge things, but they weren't done right or with the customer in mind."
Shani and Shelby's Wedding
"The flowers were beautiful, amazing price, they came on time and lasted from the Thursday before my wedding to the Saturday a week later. We went with the 17 pc. White Wedding Collection and I couldn't have been happier with the $300 it cost me! Well worth it."
Annapolis Wedding In October
"So they didn't actually put our arrangements together... but they were able to get us very good quality flowers in bulk at a very good rate. Just be prepared to put everything together yourself."

Lakeview claims CSAA title on senior night
LAKEVIEW — Not even a heavy snowfall kept Lakeview's girls basketball team from clinching their first outright Central State Activities Association title since 2005.
The Wildcats used a 21-2 second quarter to beat the White Cloud Indians 51-38 Monday night, which was also senior night for Lakeview.
It was also the 17th straight win for the Wildcats.
"It's kind of a load off. It's a big relief right now," said Lakeview coach Dave King. "We didn't play very well, but we played good enough to win.
Neither team really got the offense going in the first quarter. In fact, the score was 1-1 halfway through the frame when each team finally started making field goals.
But after an 11-10 first quarter, Lakeview clamped the defense down. The Indians avoided a shutout eight minutes with a basket from Clara Priest with 1:26 left in the quarter.
"We were soft defensively in the first half and we wouldn't box out," King said. "We allowed way too much penetration. We had to shut that down and force them (White Cloud) to shoot from the outside and then run to the shooters. We did a much better job."
Meanwhile Sadie Massie scored 10 of her team-high 14 points in that quarter.
"Someone always picks us up and tonight it was Sadie, especially," King said. "She got our energy going."
The Indians made only two field goals in the third quarter to make the score 44-19 Wildcats. They cruised from there.
"We came out with a different defense in the third quarter, which was somewhat effective, not as good as I had hoped," King said. "We just wanted to keep mixing defensively and ball pressure."
King said the Wildcats have been finding ways to win.
"They play with a lot of heart," he said of his team. "They don't always play well as far as they don't always make shots they should or make passes they should and sometimes a little lapse defensively. It's always someone different every night and that's what's fun about this team."
Lauren Jaquays added 12 points to the win.
White Cloud got 20 of their 38 from Maria Feldpausch, who canned four triples.
White Cloud 10 2 7 19 — 38
Lakeview 11 21 12 7 — 51
WHITE CLOUD — Cook 0 0-2 0, Manchip 1 0-0 3, Wilk 1 1-4 4, Feldpausch 7 2-2 20, Weaver 1 1-4 3, Wawsczyk 1 0-0 2, Fifer 0 1-2 1, Priest 2 1-2 5. Totals: 13 6-16 38. Three-point goals: Manchip, Wilk, Feldpausch 4. Total fouls: 15. Fouled out: none.
LAKEVIEW (17-2, 16-1) — Massie 6 0-0 14, Smythe 0 0-2 0, Molitor 3 1-2 9, Nielsen 1 1-1 3, Jaquays 3 6-8 12, Lake 1 0-0 2, Wood 1 0-2 2, Mathews 2 0-0 4, Shurlow 2 0-0 5. Totals: 19 8-15 51. Three-point goals: Massie 2, Molitor 2, Shurlow. Total fouls: 15. Fouled out: none.
Lakeview will play one more game before the Class C district tournament Thursday.
"We try to get better and we try to win it," King said. "We're not content with a conference title. We want to get to 18 in a row, so we can get to 19 in a row and 20 in a row. We want to keep the win streak going so we will play just as hard Thursday night as we did tonight, maybe a little harder."

About the Book: The Immortals of Meluha
1900 BC. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived. This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills.
The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.
Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva, really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Hello. My wife has an unsecured credit card balance of over $12,000, and has not been able to make the payments. The credit card is in her name only. The credit card co. asked us to make a $6,000 payment to them or they would send our account over to a 3rd party collection agency . We told them we were not able to make that kind of payment. She has since received a summons in the mail from a law office informing us that that they were seeking to garnish her wages, but we still have not gone to court on the matter. We have spoken with the collection agency and offered to pay $300 per month. They want $5000 immediatly...we dont have that at this time. I am a full time employee( about $70,000 per year) she is a part time employee(about $14,000 per year). I have 2 questions....1> can I somehow STOP the wage garnishment at this point....2> Since California is a "community property" type state, are my wages subject to garnishment as well. Know that I want to make payments....just not the large ones they would immediatly like!! HEY... Are there any other options ? Thank you so much.
First, we need to clarify some language. You don't receive a summons for a wage garnishment. Look at the bottom of the form. It will have a form number. Then you can go to www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms and search by form number. That will tell you what the form is.
If it is a summons, it means your wife has been sued. You need to file a responsive pleading. There are a variety of choices. You can read more about responsive pleading options at my blog www.californiadebtblog.com. If it is a wage garnishment, it means you have already been sued and there is a judgment against you. You may be able to file a claim of exemption.
You should talk to an attorney about your options. There are a variety of options, but they are too numerous to list here without knowing exactly where you are in the process.Ask a similar question
My best advise to you is to seek the advise of a competent bankruptcy lawyer. Most bankruptcy lawyers offer a first visit free consultation. Make sure that you select an attorney that has been practicing law for a considerable period of time and who's emphasis is on bankruptcy law. When you call to make an appointment be sure to find out what documents you should bring to your meeting in order to get the maximum benefit from your free consultation.
A bankruptcy proceeding will stop the garnishment. In a chapter 13 you will be able to repay the debt in an amount you can afford and without a garnishment.Ask a similar question
Although I am in Maryland I can say that unless you agreed to be responsible on some credit card application that you should not be liable for your wifes debt obligations even though it is a community property state as that term applies primarily to domestic issuesAsk a similar question

The boss of a multimillion-pound body-snatching ring which stole the bones of broadcaster Alistair Cooke will plead guilty in a plea deal with US prosecutors next week, his lawyer said yesterday. Michael Mastromarino is expected to be sentenced to a minimum of 18 years in prison. His lawyer told the New York Daily News that his client, who was facing life in prison, will appear in court on Tuesday to formalise the agreement. Cooke's body was one of more than 1,000 plundered by the corpse-snatching ring. The veteran BBC broadcaster died from cancer in 2004. His bones were sold for £5,500.

Squirrels crack problem of losing nuts to thieves
Squirrels try to outwit would-be thieves by pretending to hide food they do not have, researchers say. The animals were spotted making an elaborate show of burying non-existent nuts and covering them with soil and leaves, a strategy scientists believe helps to protect their stashes. The tactics increased when students from Wilkes University in Pennsylvania were assigned to observe the squirrels in action. "They may have just learned through trial and error that certain behaviours protect their food from theft," Lisa Leaver, an expert in animal behaviour at Exeter University, told New Scientist magazine.

Trust checks 4,500 biopsies after errors
A health trust is checking 4,500 cancer tests after a doctor misread a number of biopsy results, it was revealed yesterday. Three patients originally given the all-clear are being treated for cancer, with a further 12 called in for more tests by North East Wales NHS Trust. The mistakes were made by Dr Roger Williams, who retired from the trust as medical director three years ago but continued to work as a clinician part-time. Trust chief executive Mary Burrows said the biopsies were done between April 2006 and September 2007: "We need to get a fix on whether it is a marginal or significant problem."

Two released after arrest over Rhys Jones death
Two teenagers arrested in connection with firearms offences by detectives hunting the killer of 11-year-old Rhys Jones in Liverpool were released last night by police. The two, aged 18 and 16 years, were first arrested on November 20 in connection with the Liverpool boy's murder in August but were released on bail. Rhys was shot through the neck in a pub car park in Croxteth Park. Police believe the shooting may have been part of a gang feud which Rhys innocently walked into. Despite more than 20 arrests and a BBC Crimewatch appeal no one has been charged over the murder.

Knowledge-based development of cities : a myth or reality?
Yigitcanlar, Tan (2010) Knowledge-based development of cities : a myth or reality? In Igartua, Gustavo Verduzco (Ed.) Proceedings of REvive MTY forum 2010, REMTY , Monterrey, Mexico, pp. 1-10.
Submitted Version
Urban development in the 21st decade of the 21st century has faced many challenges ranging from rapid to shrinking urbanisation, from emerging knowledge economy to global division of labour and from globalisation to climate change. Along with with these challenges new concepts, such as essentialism, environmentalism and dematerialism, are emerged and started to influence the way urban development plans are prepared and visions for the development of cities are made. Beyond this, scholars, practitioners and decision-makers have also started to discuss the need for an new urban planning and development approach in order to achieve a development that is sustainable and knowledge-based. Limited successful examples of alternative planning and development approaches showcased potentials of moving towards a new plan-making mindset in the era of knowledge economy. This paper presents a new urban planning and development approach that is taking application ground in many parts of the globe, namely knowledge-based urban development. After providing the theoretical foundation and conceptual framework of knowledge-based urban development the paper discusses whether knowledge-based development of cities is a myth or a reality.

BlackRock limits their class to three students, and in 24 hours you can really absorb the material. There's no comparison as to the quality of the programs. There's a reason BlackRock has a half-dozen ASA awards...
PS - Full disclosure, I've taught both courses...

Re: Asa-103
I would just get out and sail. Unless your plans are to start cruising right away. Maybe plan on one ASA course per year.
Re: Asa-103
Great description. My wife and I just did our ASA-101 course last weekend with Brenton and wholeheartedly agree about the quality of the instruction. We're now debating whether to squeeze the 103 into this season or try to practice our 101 skills for the rest of the season and do the 103 in the spring. Any opinions?
Hi All,
Just completed the ASA-103 Basic Coastal Cruising course over a 3 day weekend. Once again I was back at Black Rock Sailing School, Charlestown, MA.
Day-1 - 2-3 hours of classroom, cabin of a Hunter 33, we did some review of terms and techniques from ASA-101 Basic Keelboat, walked through the check-in process for the Sailtime system, very complete and done with a blackberry handheld. AFter classroom, we fired up the iron genoa and practiced coming and going from the slip and a parrallel dock for a few hours. The wind is was blowing on the dock, so we got to practive a kick-off technique...which allows us to unparrallel park even in tight quarters...if we do it right. We had lots of room, only left our skipper on the dock once, but managed to pull it off. Then we did it backwards, kicking off the stern and backing out. The person in the 60 foot power yacht behind us looked a little nervous, but it was good experience. We did eventually raise the sails and take a spin around Boston Harbor.
Day-2 - More classroom, jacklines and other safety equipment, some Aid to Navigation work and then back out for a few more docking drills then it was off to the outer harbor to practice mooring pickups, which I have done a hundred items, and dropping an anchor, which I had never done, but was much easier than I would have thought. Our first drop was off a mooring field near Pleasure Bay, we got it down, but never got a very good set, it appears that the holding ground was a fairly soupy mud. We then cast off for the other side of the bay and dropped the hook off Thompson Island. We got a much better hold, and in fact it took a while to get the anchor clean, very thick mud. After that it was more sailing and some dead reconing, I love studying charts, so that wasn't bad. We ended up on the back side of a squal and got gusts of 22 knots +, which was exciting, we reefed the main for a little while, which was easy on the Hunter with an in-mast furler. Watched some moron on a 25+/- foot sailboat almost not make it out of the way of a cruise ship leaving the harbor...moron is an understatement, this guy could have counted the rivits...
Day-3 - A little classroom, ATONS and some what-ifs, the out on the harbor where we steered a dead reconing course in a zig-zag around the harbor islands and out and around Boston Light. Came back through Hypocrite Channel and back into the shipping channel. At one point a Coast Guard inflatable raced up to us and asked that we stay to the right of the channel to give room to a cruise ship that was getting ready to leave, we were already planning to do that, probably a lesson learned from the day before. After we cleared the cruise ship the skippers hat flew off, one more opportunity to run the man overboard drill, with a successful hat retrieval. At this point we were running late, we hadn't done the written test yet, and were beating into a 13 knot headwind coming into the harbor, so we furled the sails and motored in. Once we got back and secured the boat we aall sat down to take the test. I ended up at the helm for the ride into the slip and hit a picture perfect crosswind landing...probably my best of the weekend. Another 100 question multiple choice, but more difficult than the Keel Boat test. Lost of questions on ATONS and at least one very complicated, pick your navigation path. Took me a little longer than the first test, but I am happy to report another 100%.
Sunday was probably one of the nicest days of the summer for sailing in and around Boston Harbor, 12 - 15 knot Westerlies and only a handful of clouds in the sky...a picture perfect day to finish up the class.
Once again our instructor, Brent, was phenominal...he knows his stuff and he really knows how to teach it. I am going to have my wife and oldest take at least the Basic Keel Boat next summer with Brent. My wife is a bit nervous on boats and I think he has the peronality to set her at ease.
Next summer, Sailtime Membership and Bareboat Certification ASA-104.

by Young Mom @ Permission to LiveNow that I had given up on being anything but what my parents wanted from me, I began to gain some sort of sense of contentment. I was still afraid that I was going to be a stay at home daughter the rest of my life, but I had hope that "the time of the singing" would eventually come. So I poured myself into being the best daughter I could be. I had discovered some food allergies that had been impacting my health, and after removing the troublesome food from my diet, I had more energy. I got better and better at cooking and cleaning, I dreamed about how I would run my own house someday. I was usually too tired to work on anything for my hope chest, but I was … [Read more...]
My Courtship Story ~ Part 2: Waiting and Hoping
My Courtship Story ~ Part 1: Listen for the Singing
by Young Mom @ Permission to LiveI begged my Mom to let me go to high school when I was 14. She was shocked by my request. How could I fail to appreciate all the time they had invested in homeschooling me, she told me how the school system was filled with evil, and how easy it was for a young girl to get taken advantage of. She promised that if I worked hard to finish my schoolwork, I would be able to go to college anyways, so why bother wasting my time in high school? I gave up.At the age of almost 16, I was allowed to go to a small "homeschool" college that was holding it's first ever summer camp for teens. The camp had strict rules about dress code and interaction with the opposite sex … [Read more...]
It's Not About the Clothes!
[Note: For NLQ readers who have not yet joined the forum, here's a small taste of what you're missing ~ :) ] by Whisperthroughtherain When I was little, before we moved to the Bible belt, getting dressed was simple. I liked wild colors and animal prints. I felt so pretty when I got my ears pierced. In the summer when it was hot, nobody thought twice about running around in a bikini... Most of us did. Even chubby grandmas! We had pool parties and ordered pizza and my cousin taught me to swim. I thought he was great. Sometimes little boys tried to kiss me, but I just ran away.When I was a little older, we got involved with a southern, backwoods Baptist church. In Sunday school they taught us … [Read more...]
I Am So Much More Than a Maiden of Virtue! Part 4 ~ Little Things
by WanderingOneI am a nail-biter. I don't bite them because I'm nervous or scared or anything like that. I just…chew. My nails are ugly and jagged; short and stumpy. I hate the way they look.Growing up my parents tried to discipline me out of the habit. It showed a lack of self-control, an inadequate ability for self-restraint. I tried to stop. I hated disappointing them. I was afraid of punishment. And yet, I never could shake the habit. I bit and chewed—perhaps it was a form of unconscious resistance: this small imperfection, this awful habit, was a small way of ensuring that my parents' authority was not absolute. Maybe it was just a bad habit I could never kick.In any c … [Read more...]
I Am So Much More Than a Maiden of Virtue! Part 3 ~ Biblical Chastisement
by WanderingOneAt this point, I think it's necessary to write something about how things changed after my sister was born. It's hard to know what to say here—I do not want to tell my sister's story for her, nor could I presume to do so. But it would be disingenuous to attempt to write about my life without explaining how and why things changed. My little sister was, in so many ways, my opposite. Where I was shy, quiet, reserved and even timid, she was outgoing, bold, adventurous, and confident. I went to her Sunday School class rather than my own; I followed her lead in so many things, even though I was the older of the two of us. This didn't always work very well, given that I was s … [Read more...]
I Am So Much More Than a Maiden of Virtue! Part 2 ~ Cousins
by WanderingOneWhen I was four years old my cousin Aaron was born to my mom's sister. The next year, my sister, and three other cousins were born on my mom's side. After that, every year, two or three or sometimes all four of my mom's sisters were pregnant. By the time I was eight, I had thirteen cousins on that side of my family. When my sister and I were added in, that meant there were there were fifteen of us, and I was the only one not the age of five. More often than not (we lived relatively near one another), my mother would take my sister and I over to one of her sisters' houses to do our schoolwork, or to help out with housework. And we might not be the only cousins over that da … [Read more...]
The Formula Ruled Above All
by ErikaIf you remember from one of my earlier installments, right before we started our first year of homeschooling, I had spent the summer in Uganda on a missions trip with Teen Missions International. It was an amazing summer and everything had seemed normal in my family before I left. I was promised that things wouldn't change much even though we'd be homeschooling. Of course, reading back through my story, you know that things DID change. I enjoyed that summer away so much. I had amazing experiences and the travel bug had officially hit.

I use Toyo Extensa HPs. They're not the best tires and it gets pretty fun to drive in the snow. I'd say go to Tire Rack's website and read the reviews.

The stock tires blow ****...that's all I can tell ya
Hey, I work at America's/Discount Tire Tire Company and in my experience the Continental extreme contact dws is one of the best options out there. Its affordable and gives you great traction. I personally drive two sets of tires though. I drive Dunlop Star specs in the summer and michelin x-ice IIs in the winter. But I drive my car pretty hard in the summer and need the sticky tire. Let me know if you need help choosing, I'd love to help. Also check to see if there is a Discount Tire store near you because you'll get the best price. If not go to Discounttiredirect.com if the price isn't already the best you can call us and we'll beat whatever price you've found.

Are you against dedicated summer/winter sets?

I've been using Conti's for a while, and have nothing but good to say about the Extreme DWS tires. My father uses them on his RX-8, and I just purchased a set for my '12 WRX. I love them and can't wait to see how the Subie does with them on this winter.
2012 WR Blue WRX
I put Conti DWS on my Outback Sport and it was the best tire buy ever. Usually, I just feel raped after getting new tires. I look forward to the day I can get rid of the stock summer performance (WTH Subaru? summer perf on an awd car is only good for sun belt and Cali??? Why you hate me, and maybe about half the country???) and put them on my WRX. As with all all seasons they may not be exceptional at snow or summer but the DWS feel great year round. A bit squishier but I doubt you will be tracking All seasons...
In a perfect world, where I had the cash and the floorspace in my garage I would love to do summer winter sets because once it snows here, and it will only once or twice, my WRX is going to be parked until it melts. Summer tires in winter suck so much.
And the irony of parking an AWD vehicle because of snow does not escape me.
Not as many parts left over this time... what am I missing?
Dedicated summer/winter is bauce.

What annoys me is whenever I turn ON the A/C, it always default to the fresh air mode. I have to constantly switch it to recirculation. Any fix on this issue so it stays on recirc mode so I can just switch it to fresh air mode only when I want it?

The Abduction (original 2007; edition 2008)
by Mark Gimenez
Work details
The Abduction by Mark Gimenez (2007)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Some parts were a little far fetched for me but overall this was a good solid thriller.
Took a few chapters to get into this book, then it became really interesting. While not all the characters were fully developed, this book was action-packed enough to be enjoyable. A great holiday read.
I really like this author. His books have really well-drawn characters and the stories just suck me in. This was the second book I read after The Color of Law and I enjoyed it as well. The Vietnam Era is my era, so it had some historical resonance for me as well. Recommend it to those who like legal or even semi-legal thrillers.
I don't think I will ever read anything else by this author. He used that easy plot device of someone having a dream where facts were acquired. There could have been another way to have the mystery solved. Another thing I am tired of is vigilante justice. The climax of the story centered around vigilante justice on the "right side" being the moral thing and manly thing to do while vigilante justice on the "wrong side" is evil. I would never have finished this book in print form. I listened to an audio book and was on a long car ride--a semi-captive reader. And then there was this repeated theme of manhood (or lack thereof). ***SPOILER ALERT**** this theme got even worse at the end of the book when the computer geek finally became a man because he used a gun and shot up a lot of bad guys.
This great novel weaves a path from the Vietnam War to current day through the lives of the men who served there and their families. Gimenez creates wonderfully believable relationships between the players in the story. The continuing lack of full disclosure prevents family members from developing strong lasting relationships. The stress of the abduction causes the players to extend beyond themselves, bonding together to reach a common goal. Excellent book, riveting to the end.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/3/2014 (1196 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Assiniboine Community College Cougars women's hockey team used home ice to their advantage to become provincial champions on Sunday.
The Cougars allowed one goal during the Hockey Manitoba women's Senior B championships at Kinsmen and Optimist Arenas and they capped their run with a 2-0 win over Winnipeg's Rage II on Sunday afternoon.
Improving their play was the Cougars' focus for the weekend, and head coach Terry Arksey was impressed with his players ability to shut down their opponents during ACC's four games.
"The girls played very, very well from the goaltender to defence and forwards," he said. "They all contributed to this win and it was a total team effort. … In the past we gave up scoring chances, but this weekend that was our focus to tighten up our defence and we shored it up pretty good."
Kira Nyhuis had a goal and an assist in the final, with Bree Vanhove also finding the back of the net for the Cougars.
Kristen Friesen recorded her third straight shutout in net. Kayla Chomokovski's first-period goal in the tournament's opener was the only shot to get past Friesen during the event.
Nyhuis admitted was quite motivated for provincials. She is from Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., and wanted an opportunity to play closer to home at the Western Canadian Shield, which will be held from April 10-13 in Red Deer, Alta. The only way she could do that was if her team won the championship and they came through in a big way.
"I was really stoked to go to nationals so we all kind of worked together," she said. "The team knew I was excited about it so it's what we did. I think our team came together this weekend. It's probably the best weekend we've ever played together and it set us up nicely for what's to come."
ACC finished first in its preliminary round group with a 2-0 record. The Cougars then beat the Devils 9-0. Nyhuis had three goals and two assists in that game, while Brittany Phillips and Shayna Fluker both netted a pair.
While Arksey was proud of his team's play on the weekend, he hopes they can play just as well in April when they go to the Western Canadian Shield.
"It's definitely going to be a confidence booster for our team," he said. "The girls have worked hard to this point and I'm definitely excited to taking the next step to representing the province at Red Deer."
Meanwhile, the Minnedosa Wild beat the Brandon Bandits 5-3 in Saturday's fifth-place game. Danica Wotton and Candace Claeys had a pair of goals for Minnedosa, with Kailey Benoit supplying the other. Gwen McMullen, Ashley Shaw and Marlene Burton replied for the Bandits. Both Minnedosa and Brandon went 0-2 in the preliminary round.
In the women's Senior A championship, Deena Caplette scored twice and set up another goal for the Winnipeg-based Herd as they beat the Manitoba Maple Leafs 4-1. Lisa Kissick and Julie Beaudette also scored for the Herd, while Melissa Jacques replied for the Maple Leafs.
The Herd will join the Cougars as the Manitoba representatives at the Western Canadian Shield.

UPDATED: Mugshot of the Woman in a Thong Smashing up a McDonald's
Here she is ... the star of yesterday's NUMBER 1 Link!
Sandra Suarez, 41, was arrested for criminal mischief and resisting an officer with violence after she was seen on surveillance cameras destroying items inside a McDonald's located in Pinellas Park, Florida
It's not clear when this happened, but there's a video online of a woman in a thong smashing up a McDonald's in St. Petersburg, Florida ... while she's also TOPLESS. Then, halfway through, she stops to have some ice cream ... and eats it straight from the soft serve machine. She makes herself a cone before she walks off camera to get some fries.
The entire video is narrated by two of the employees, who thought it was hilarious.

Colorado issues new plan for roadless areas
August 3, 2009
VAIL, Colorado –Colorado officials released a revised proposal for protecting roadless areas in the state Monday.
The new proposal adds 160,000 acres for protection, but environmental groups are still concerned about loopholes that could open expanses of backcountry up for logging and road building.
Under the new agreement, 4.2 million acres of land are protected from building roads and cutting trees, up from about 4 million acres in last year's version. The White River National Forest has about 636,000 acres of protected land. The rules include protected land in the Berry Creek, Game Creek, East Vail and Buffehr Creek areas, among others local land in the area. Mike King, deputy director of Colorado Department of Natural Resources, said the proposed new revision added little or no additional protected land for Eagle County.
King said the big issue facing Eagle County is the migration of the bark beetle. The new agreement allows communities to build roads 1.5 miles into the protected areas for tree removal. Beyond 1.5 miles, tree removal can still take place but no roads can be built.
The new revision allows the Forest Service to cut down trees to lower wildlife risks. Temporary roads could also be built to develop utilities and waterways.
One exception eliminated from the agreement would have allowed the construction of temporary roads for ranchers to get access to federal land they lease for grazing.
Ryan Demmy Bidwell, executive director of Colorado Wild, said the state made significant efforts to improve the rules, but there is still need for major revisions. The conservation watchdog group's biggest concern pertains to logging and road building, Bidwell said.
"The Colorado Rule would allow logging and road building anywhere in the roadless area in some circumstances," Bidwell said. "That's a loophole that could result in million of acres of logging. That's our biggest concern and the one that should be easiest to fix."
Colorado Wild and other watchdog groups called for stronger protection rules, similar to the 2001 Roadless Rule.
"The 2001 rule placed protecting roadless areas as its highest priority," Bidwell said. "Protecting backcountry forest was the priority. The Colorado rule places a priority on loopholes – logging, mining, oil and gas drilling. There is an exception for virtually everyone."
State officials countered by saying the 2001 rule –which had 60,000 more acres of protected land –included land that was already "substantially altered." Also, the 2001 rule applied to all states even though they were dealing with vastly different problems.
The Department of Natural Resources will accept public comment on the revision for 60 days. Bidwell is hopeful the state will use the public comments to improve the new rules.

Rubin (Hurricane) Carter, once a 160-pound middleweight championship contender, now weighs half that and lies bed-ridden in Toronto. He is on the ropes, fighting his life's final bout.
This is the end of the story of the Hurricane. The boxer wrongfully convicted of a 1966 triple murder in New Jersey, whose story has been told in his own 1974 book The Sixteenth Round, in a 1975 song by Bob Dylan, and in the 1999 Norman Jewison film Hurricane, is now dying of prostate cancer.
But the 77-year-old Mr. Carter is dying mostly alone, having drifted away or fallen out with many of the characters in the well-known drama of his life.
One old friend by his side, however, is John Artis. It was Mr. Artis who was also by his side that night in Paterson, N.J., in June, 1966, when as Mr. Dylan sang, "a cop pulled him over to the side of the road/ Just like the time before and the time before that." Mr. Artis, a promising track athlete then about to turn 20 and hitching a ride home from a nightclub, would be convicted and jailed for the shootings along with Mr. Carter.
Nearly a half-century later, Mr. Artis, now 67, dropped his life in Virginia and came to care for his old friend after he found out Mr. Carter was dying in 2011, with no family by his side. Now, when you phone Mr. Carter's home, Mr. Artis answers: "Good afternoon, Innocence International, Dr. Carter's office. How may we help you?"
After a U.S. federal judge declared in 1985 that his convictions were based on "racism rather than reason," Mr. Carter moved to Toronto and became an international figure fighting for other wrongfully convicted prisoners. He founded his small Innocence International group after he resigned in anger from Toronto's Association in Defence of the Wrongfully Convicted a decade ago. He quit over what he considered the group's reluctance to loudly protest the judicial appointment of the prosecutor who wrongfully convicted Guy Paul Morin.
Now, in an interview with The Globe and Mail, Mr. Artis says that Mr. Carter, once a passionate preacher-like public speaker, tires so easily he cannot give speeches or even speak with reporters.
"It's hard. I am watching him slowly die day-by-day here," Mr. Artis said, adding that Mr. Carter is sometimes incoherent because of his painkilling drugs. "He's only a caricature of the guy he once was."
A little-known figure living in the shadow of the Hurricane, Mr. Artis was paroled in 1981. But he would plead guilty and serve 11 months for distributing $50 worth of cocaine and receiving a stolen handgun a few years later. (He denies he sold drugs and says he was using cocaine to deal with a medical condition. He says he did not know the gun was stolen.)
While in prison for the 1966 triple murder, Mr. Artis said he saved the lives of some prison guards during a riot and was rewarded with the chance to attend college, unsupervised. He says he has worked with troubled youth since his release.
Some family members and supporters, including Vancouver writer Ken Klonsky who co-wrote Mr. Carter's 2011 book Eye of the Hurricane, have called or visited. But Mr. Carter seems to prefer to be alone, Mr. Artis says: "He's busy fighting his disease. Most of the time he really doesn't want to be disturbed. He's fighting it in solitude."
He has long been estranged from his ex-wife and two children in the United States. In the early 1990s, he broke with the Toronto-area commune that helped fight for his freedom, after the deterioration of his brief marriage to commune leader Lisa Peters. She died about a decade ago.
One admirer who does check in from time to time is Denzel Washington, the Hollywood star whose fiery portrayal of Mr. Carter in the 1999 film was widely praised, although some criticized the movie for taking too many liberties with the facts.
Mr. Artis said he had hoped to drive Mr. Carter to New York to see Mr. Washington in the new Broadway production of A Raisin in the Sun. But his dying friend has taken a turn for the worse in recent days and is too weak to make the trip. He had been resting at his west-end home, but was taken to hospital with complications this week.
It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Carter, who had already served time for assaults and robberies before that night in 1966, owes his life to Mr. Artis. Prosecutors tried to get Mr. Artis to falsely incriminate the boxer in exchange for leniency, which Mr. Artis refused to do.
And one of the pair's former lawyers, on a recent visit, told Mr. Artis that the jury had their minds made up even before deliberating. They only spared Mr. Carter the death penalty because they couldn't bear sending the 20-year-old Mr. Artis, who had no criminal record, to the electric chair: "They wanted to kill Rubin, but they didn't want to kill me."
Mr. Artis acknowledges the uncompromising Mr. Carter has never been one to shy away from disagreements. But Mr. Artis says he and his old friend have never had harsh words. "Well, you walk that kind of road, you know, you walk that road together," he said.
Others in the Hurricane story who have drifted away include Lesra Martin, the African-American teenager adopted by the Toronto commune – known as "the Canadians" in Hurricane lore – that would end up helping Mr. Carter's lawyers win his freedom. It was Mr. Martin, now 50 and a personal injury lawyer in Kamloops, who discovered Mr. Carter's autobiography at a used-book sale in Toronto and began corresponding with him in 1979.
The two lived together in Toronto after Mr. Carter broke with the Canadians and before Mr. Martin went on to law school, with the former boxer becoming a kind of father figure and Mr. Martin helping him adjust to life on the outside. But the pair grew more distant over the years, Mr. Martin said in a recent interview, acknowledging he had not spoken to his former mentor since he fell ill.
"It became important to us both to establish our own identities. And as a result of that, I think it has sort of produced a distance, an artificial distance, that likely otherwise wouldn't exist," Mr. Martin said, adding that before a speaking engagement in Toronto in early April he plans to go see Mr. Carter.
Toronto lawyer James Lockyer, well known for his work exonerating the wrongly convicted alongside Mr. Carter in the 1990s with the Association in Defence of the Wrongfully Convicted, says he regrets the ex-boxer's acrimonious break with the group, which cost him a good friend. The two haven't spoken in years, and Mr. Lockyer said his attempts to reach out to Mr. Carter have been rebuffed.
"You know, Rubin is a very determined man. And I respect him for that. It's a shame, and I miss him as a friend," Mr. Lockyer said in an interview. "I would love to have him back as friend, especially if we are in the last days of his life, which we may be.… But it's his choice."
Sam Chaiton, one of the leaders of the Toronto commune that helped free Mr. Carter, said he hasn't spoken to him in years. Asked if he and Mr. Carter were on good or bad terms, he said: "No terms, really."
Reached at the offices of Toronto hat retailer Big It Up, a business the commune launched in 1996, Mr. Chaiton called Mr. Carter a "powerful voice for justice." The fight for his freedom was an intense time, Mr. Chaiton said, and Mr. Carter's break with the commune had to do with his feeling after his prison years that he needed to stand on his own two feet.
"In a way, we kind of went through fighting a war together against the state, and the wrongful conviction," Mr. Chaiton said. "It's difficult after those things, something like that, that's so intense, such a matter of life and death, it's difficult to kind of maintain regular human relationships."
Even though he lies dying, Mr. Carter has not given up fighting for those he believes were wrongly convicted. In February, he wrote a letter to the New York Daily News demanding the release of David McCallum, a Brooklyn man Mr. Carter says was wrongly convicted of murder in 1985 with no evidence and a confession gained by "force and trickery."
"I am now quite literally on my deathbed and am making my final wish, which those in authority have the power to grant," the letter reads, adding that Mr. Carter will be surprised if he sees heaven after his death. "To live in a world where truth matters and justice, however late, really happens, that world would be heaven enough for us all."Report Typo/Error

Comcast Buys Philly Cable Operator Richard McCaffery (TMF Gibson)
November 16, 1999
Cable company and programming provider Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSK) has moved in to buy hometown cable operator Lenfest Communications from AT&T (NYSE: T) and the Lenfest family for about $6.8 billion in cash and debt.
The purchase gives Comcast, the nation's third largest cable operator, 1.25 million subscribers in Philadelphia, other parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, and further solidifies its stronghold in the Mid-Atlantic region. Lenfest is the country's ninth largest cable operator.
It also gives Comcast new customers in areas where it has already upgraded networks for revenue-rich broadband and digital television services.
For AT&T, the deal helps shed some of its cable assets to pave the way with regulators for its pending acquisition of MediaOne (NYSE: UMG). By federal law, no cable company is permitted to have more than a 30% share of the cable television market, and AT&T is still trying to get below that threshold.
It's all part of an industrywide race to provide a full basket of communications services to customers across the country.
The move to offer so-called bundled communications services is driving consolidation throughout the cable industry. ("Bundled" is just an easy way to describe services companies like Comcast and AT&T want to provide. It involves packaging services like cable television, high speed Internet, and telephone services into one offering for consumers).
Cable properties started looking like hot prospects in 1997 when Bill Gates invested $1 billion for a stake in Comcast. With lines into millions of homes, Gates and other industry moguls knew cable companies were in an ideal position to offer broadband services.
Then Michael Armstrong, AT&T's chief executive, stirred the waters, scooping up TeleCommunications Inc. (TCI) -- the country's second largest cable company -- and, most recently, MediaOne. AT&T snatched MediaOne away from Comcast last May.
As a result of consolidation, cable companies are fetching attractive prices. Comcast paid AT&T and Lenfest about $5,368 per subscriber -- a nice premium that also reflects Lenfest's strategic location since Lenfest is the number one cable company in Philadelphia, Comcast's base of operations.
For a reference point, look at Comcast's acquisition of Greater Philadelphia Cablevision earlier this year for about $3,402 per subscriber. (GPC has about 79,000 subscribers). US West Media Group (which became MediaOne) picked up Continental Cablevision for about $2,000 per subscriber back in 1996.
Phone companies and cable operators can't pass up the opportunity to offer bundled services, mainly because the cable TV and long distance phone businesses are slow growing, mature markets. The key to driving revenues for these companies, therefore, is locking up new revenue streams in fast growing markets. As a result, investors have to track these categories to help value cable and phone companies.
On this front, Comcast is making swift progress. It's roll out of digital cable services -- which offers consumers better reception and more channels -- is ahead of analyst estimates. It's added 325,000 digital cable subscribers in the last 12 months and now has more than 400,000. The service is available to more than 60% of its customer base. That means there are at least 2.3 million Comcast subscribers right now that could be signed up for digital cable, and the number is growing fast.
It's also added nearly 19,000 customers to its high speed Internet access service, giving it a total of about 113,000 subscribers.
Comcast's electronic retail division, QVC, is growing at a double digit rate, and operating cash flow for the subsidiary grew 20% last quarter. QVC television programming, which sells jewelry, housewares, collectibles, toys, electronics and cosmetics, reaches 85% of all cable homes in the U.S.
Comcast has spent a lot of money deploying a fiber optic system and upgrading its existing broadband network. In addition, it's divested non-core assets such as its cellular telephone division, improved margins and strengthened its balance sheet -- giving it the financial leeway it needs to expand.
The company is worth a closer look. Keep in mind it has competitors in a range of industries, including AT&T, Time Warner (NYSE: TWX), and Cox Communications (NYSE: COX), which makes comparisons a little tricky.

H is mad at me because a half-dozen moths have drowned in the dish of water I keep in on the floor my room to submerge stray fleas in.
I said I was sorry but really - can I help it if moths have become collateral damage in my war on fleas?
Is it my fault moths are stupid?
None of the other insect species currently residing in my house (and there are lots) have succumb to the lure of the water bowl.
Good thing he doesn't know about the moth I accidentally sucked up in the vacuum cleaner this morning.

Rutgers-Newark expert can discuss Cambodian genocide as trials get underway in Phnom Penh
As war crime tribunals against Khmer Rouge leaders get underway, many see them as a last chance to bring to justice the people responsible for the murders of 2 million Cambodians during the rule of Pol Pot. Alexander Hinton, an internationally known expert on genocide and an associate professor of anthropology and global affairs at Rutgers University in Newark, can discuss the genocide and the tribunals. Hinton, who has extensively researched the Cambodian killing fields, has done more than amass cold facts and data about genocide; he also has witnessed firsthand its emotional toll during travels to Cambodia to meet with genocide survivors.
In addition to his research, Hinton is director of the Rutgers Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights, and is responsible for the establishment of the Documentation Center of Cambodia at Rutgers-Newark, which houses papers, photographs, films and other materials that provide a record of the 1975-1979 genocide. Later this year he will publish Genocide, Modernity, and Revitalization: Life under the Khmer Rouge, a sequel to his 2005 book, Why Did They Kill? Cambodia in the Shadow of Genocide. He also is co-editing a volume entitled Genocide, Truth, Memory, and Representation: Anthropological Perspectives. Hinton also has written numerous journal articles on the topic.

League-Leading Green Bay Visits Youngstown State Thursday
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay (19-5, 9-2 HL) begins a season-ending stretch of four out of five games away from home on Thursday night, visiting Youngstown State (13-12, 4-6 HL) at the Beeghly Center at 6:05 p.m. central time.
Despite coming off a 73-63 loss against Milwaukee last Saturday, the Phoenix sits in first place alone atop the Horizon League standings, one game clear of Cleveland State.
The Phoenix and Youngstown State battled at the Resch Center on Jan. 4, with Green Bay shooting 66.7 percent after halftime and pulling away for an 85-69 victory. Junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) just missed a triple-double against the Penguins with 24 points, nine assists and eight rebounds while senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) also reached 20 points.
Green Bay has a 5-2 record on the road in 2013-14 and has won six of its past seven Horizon League road games dating back to 2012-13. Sykes (21.3) and Brown (20.3) have combined to average 41.6 points per game on the road this season.
G – #24 Keifer Sykes, G, Jr., 5-11, 175
G – #12 Carrington Love, G, So., 6-1, 171
F – #4 Jordan Fouse, F, So., 6-7, 225
F – #15 Greg Mays, F, Jr., 6-9, 222
C – #21 Alec Brown, C, Sr., 7-1, 235
LIVE COVERAGE: Thursday night's game will be televised live by Time Warner Cable SportsChannel with Todd Bell (play-by-play) and Andrew Gavin (analyst) on the call. The broadcast is also available on WatchESPN/ESPN3. On WNFL 1440 AM, Matt Menzl will bring fans a radio broadcast of the action.
INSIDE THE SERIES: With three-straight wins against the Penguins, Green Bay now holds a 27-8 all-time record in the series. The Phoenix has a 6-2 record under head coach Brian Wardle against YSU, with the only two losses coming at the Beeghly Center in 2011-12. Last season in Youngstown, Sykes scored 24 points and Green Bay won 71-54.
FIRST MEETING: Youngstown State led 23-13 early in the opening half, but Green Bay responded to lead 40-38 at halftime and dominated after intermission. In the second half, the Phoenix made 22-of-33 shots and Sykes scored 13 points and dished out eight assists. Green Bay held Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year Kendrick Perry to 13 points.
SYKES SET APART: Ranking 17th nationally in points per game, Sykes is the only player in the country averaging 20-plus points (20.7), five-plus assists (5.1) and four-plus rebounds per game (4.3). The junior has scored 15 or more points in 13-straight games including every Horizon League contest.
BLOCK PARTY: With 11 blocks against UIC, Green Bay broke the single-season program record for the fourth consecutive season. The Phoenix has 178 blocks this season, just five shy of the Horizon League record of 182 set last season by Youngstown State. Of the top-14 single-game block efforts in Green Bay history, 13 have occurred during Brown's four years in the program. Brown has 288 career blocks, just 22 shy of the conference record.
CHARITY WORK: As a sophomore, Sykes broke the Phoenix program record for free throws made in a season (159). After knocking down 10 or more in three of the past five games, Sykes has made 146 free throws in 2013-14, good for third-most by a Phoenix player and second-most in the Division I era. The Horizon League's top scorer leads the conference and is 13th nationally in free throws made.
MOVING ON UP: Brown now ranks eighth in Green Bay history in scoring (1,577 points). Sykes has scored 1,371 career points in 88 games and needs 21 points to pass Ray Willis into 11th place in program history.
RECORDS IN REACH: Brown will be chasing a couple of records as his senior season continues. With 288 career blocks, Brown needs 22 more to break the Horizon League record of 309 set last season by Youngstown State's Damian Eargle. The 7-foot-1 senior also needs just three more rebounds to break the Green Bay Division I record of 766 set by Terry Evans.
BROWN'S BLOCKS: Brown is having the best season of his career, which includes blocks. Averaging 3.3 per game, the 7-foot-1 senior is 11th nationally. With 73 blocks in 2013-14, Brown is on pace to break his own school record of 89, set in 2011-12. Brown now owns each of the top-four spots on the program's single-season blocks chart (59, 67, 73, 89).
A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN: Brown is in the midst of the most impressive season and most impressive stretch of his standout career. The 7-foot-1 center is posting career-high numbers in points, field goal percentage and blocked shots. Against Detroit on Jan. 26, Brown became the only player in program or Horizon League history to tally 1,500-plus points (1577), 750 rebounds (764) and 250 blocked shots (288).
A-MAYS-ING: Junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) continues the best season of his Phoenix career. The Chicago native is averaging career highs in points (10.3), rebounds (5.3), blocks (1.1) and field goal percentage (.576). Against Wright State, Mays made 9-of-10 shots from the field and scored 22 points. He also posted his career high in the historic win over Virginia, scoring 24 points.

"Something like this has never been created before," says Steve Lee, one of Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in Business and the product lead for Google's Project Glass.
The company is developing the futuristic eyeware at its secretive X lab. Much has been written about the project, but few details about the device itself have emerged outside concept designs and video.
Fast Company conducted an interview with one of the lead creators of Project Glass, Steve Lee. One question asked was if the technology would one day be incorporated into contact lenses. His answer:
I mean, that's definitely a long-term thing. At this point, it seems like a natural evolution. Certainly if you make the technology invisible, a lot of people would say that's attractive. But maybe instead of that perspective, you could argue that something like this could be thought of like jewelry–something that is bold and prominent. Something a person wearing it is proud of. In that case, you wouldn't want it to be invisible–you want to show it off, like, Hey! I'm part of the future.

In the USA, TPMS are now required on all models (some don't use sensors, but rely on the antilock brakes' sensor to detect variations in wheel rotations). Tire specialists aren't supposed to install RFT without the sensors, and they always come that way from the factory. Did you change
or wheels sometime along the way? The tire installer may have (mistankenly or fraudulently) taken then out and just put in new 'normal' valve stems. If so, you got screwed. With a tire change, they're supposed to use a new gasket, but keep the TPMS sensor. In the USA, they're around $50 each, so not bad for him to sell to someone later on.
If you go to the vehicle status page, do you have an entry for Tire Pressure? If you do, your vehicle came with them, and somewhere along the way, they disappeared!
It can be quite unsafe to drive faster than the recommendations with a RFT when it is flat, or to drive further than they specify. Without the TPMS, you may not realize it until you try to turn at speed. This can make the vehicle unstable. The max speed when you have a flat with a RFT is moderately low, much lower than your limited access highways. So, at least where I live, it is illegal because of the potential unstable situation if you didn't realize you had a flat - the sensors at least warn you to both slow down, and be more cautious. I do not know if that warning is tied into the vehicle's stability program or engine management system.

The strange situation with Patriots defensive back Jonathan Wilhite got a little clearer Tuesday as police have released the details surrounding the second year player's whereabouts on Sunday.
According to North Attleboro police, on Sunday morning Wilhite says was confronted by two men in his driveway – one of which was running towards him and shouting – so he ran away from them and went to a local Cumberland Farms and called police. Wilhite says he pulled his groin while running away.
Wilhite was a late scratch for the Patriots on Sunday, though he wasn't really needed as the Pats cruised to victory. I'm sure we'll hear more as details come out.

Having invested in the excellent Alesis iO DOCK, I started to look around for an iPAD app which would let me explore the audio recording capabilities of the iPAD further than is possible through Apple's GarageBand. In particular I wanted to record two audio tracks simultaneously for vocal plus acoustic guitar tracking.
Quite a number of the apps on the market are pretty unclear about whether simultaneous multitrack recording is possible and I waded through the various developer's on-line forums in search of clarity on this point.
Harmonicdog's 'MultiTrack' app (the clue is in the name) was the only one I could find which could answer an unequivocal 'YES!' In fact it boasts the ability to record up to eight tracks simultaneously with a compliant USB audio interface.
One quick download later, I slid my iPAD2 into the Alesis iO DOCK, opened the MultiTrack app and started recording. Much of the screen interface is very intuitive and easy to use; with only the odd exception which I'll come to later.
The standard offering allows you to record and playback up to 8 tracks, with an extra cost option to expand the track count to 24 (still limited to recording eight simultaneously).
With the iO Dock connected, each track has a choice of mono1, mono 2 and stereo. So I created a couple of tracks, fed test tone into one (a good test of crosstalk) and a vocal mic into the other. After arming both tracks I pressed record then play (you need to press both to start recording) and things started to happen!
As I reported in a separate review of the iO DOCK, left/right crosstalk performance is excellent, and I'm happy to report that this was also the case when using the iO DOCK into Harmonicdog's recording software. It's possible to preview and set input levels using the excellent screen meters which are much more response than the VU meter in GarageBand. Using the iO Dock I left the software input gains at '0' and used the hardware input gain controls, but trimming using both is possible.
