To write about Castle's ratings, I would like to steal from the famous start of Rudyard Kipling's poem "If": "If you can keep your head when all about you / Are losing theirs and blaming it on you…"
But let's make it: If you can basically have the exact same ratings for five seasons / When most other network shows are collapsing…
Because that's basically Castle's success story as it heads toward its fifth season finale on May 13. When Castle made its debut on ABC as a midseason show in March 2009, the ratings were just eh. It ended its first season with 10.5 million Live+7 viewers (meaning, viewers who watch the show within seven days) and a 2.8 among 18- to 49-year-olds. It's essentially held steady since then; I won't bore you with each season's averages, because they're so repetitive. As of Monday's episode, its average for the season is 12 million total viewers and a 2.6 in 18 to 49 (in Live+7).
Castle is an interesting case, then, of a veteran show that has become a hit by not eroding, and even growing a little, especially when compared with the wreckage around it. In the 2008-09 season when it premiered, ABC's lineup still featured Desperate Housewives and Lost; its big hopes for the season were Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. Fox's American Idol, of course, was the No. 1 show on television by a mile, and each episode would bring in more than 20 million viewers. It was a different television world.
Castle has just been steady. A bubble show for renewal at first, and then always performing better in its Monday at 10 time slot when lead-in Dancing with the Stars was on, it wasn't clear at first how many people were watching Castle on purpose, even as it gained confidence, building off of star Nathan Fillion's exuberant charm to create a show with a sweet (as opposed to frustrating) will-they-or-won't-they love story between Castle and Beckett (Stana Katic), light but clever mysteries of the week, and a zippy ensemble both at Castle's work (at the precinct with Jon Huertas and Seamus Dever) and home (with his mother, Susan Sullivan, and daughter, Molly C. Quinn).
But now it's clear. Monday night, Castle drew 10.6 million viewers and got a 2.0 in 18 to 49 in Nielsen's overnight ratings. (Both will grow in Live+7.) Last week, it grew out of Dancing with the Stars in 18 to 49; yes, DWTS skews old, but for a 10 p.m. show, growing out of the lead-in is rare these days. It also beat its time-slot competition, NBC's Revolution, for the first time this season, and it consistently beats Hawaii Five-0 on CBS. In last week's broadcast television ratings, Castle finished in 10th place among total viewers and 16th place among adults 18 to 49. Yes, the new normal for network shows is quite low. But should Castle fans care? No!
This season has been about Castle and Beckett finally being in love and in a relationship. They'll have some bumps, of course, as creator Andrew Marlowe has foretold. I can't predict what will happen — though I'm sure they will be happy again soon enough.
But I do feel sure I can guarantee exactly how many people will be watching them as they go along their way.
Update: Minutes after I posted this story, I was reminded by my Twitter buddy David Loehr that both Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money technically made it into second seasons because their first seasons were curtailed by the writers' strike of 2008-09. They were then canceled. It's complicated, but I cut the words "neither of which made it to Season 2" from that sentence to avoid unnecessary confusion.

Only tried making calls, phone paired up on second attempt, first attempt may have been user error. Synch'd with contact list on phone showing all contact phone numbers and street addresses. I was able to make and receive calls, name of contact recognized on monitor. I was also able to NAV to a highlighted address stored in phone - cool. One gripe.... I have a lot of contacts in phone (2500+)... took a while for them to load, and this synch will happen each time starting car While the contacts were loading, however, I was able to dial from the phone and take call through car. Maybe time to edit the list.
Very slick.....

I recently upgrade phones from Nokia E71 to E72 - major upgrade in speed and feel. For use first as a phone and secondarily for personal e-mail, I recommend this phone. Sleek and slim. I prefer to carry a Blackberry for work e-mail, as I can also choose NOT to carry it when not working and still have phone and personal e-mail connectivity.

Parents get serious about baby names in tough year
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Babies Zuma Nesta Rock and Bronx Mowgli, you're in the minority. Most parents abandoned unusual names for their children, opting instead for traditional names, according to a U.S. survey.
The top boy's name for the year remained Aiden, followed by Jayden, Ethan and Jacob with classic names like Matthew, Jack, Michael, Alexander, Daniel and William all featuring in a list of the top 50 most popular names.
The list, compiled from thousands of baby name entries on the specialist baby website Babycenter.com, found that Emma replaced Sophia as the top girl's name followed by Isabella and Olivia with Sarah, Elizabeth and Anna also popular.
With the United States consumed by politics all year, presidential names also made a return, such as Madison, Taylor, Kennedy for girls and Jackson and Tyler for boys.
Linda Murray, editor-in-chief of babycenter.com, said there was a clear trend for people to choose more serious, old fashioned, classic names, reflecting the tougher times.
"Times have changed and people are taking the world more seriously, affected by what is going on the world," said Murray.
"Even before the economic crisis we've had high gas and food prices all year and people have struggled. Our nation is at war. We have conflict in the world. It is a serious time in American life and it is affecting decisions about naming children."
When parents were asked in the online survey what they wanted a name to represent, the most important qualities for boys were strength, kindness and compassion compared to strength and individuality last year.
For girls it was kindness, compassion, intelligence and strength compared to femininity and individuality last year. Continued...

He has finished among the top four tacklers on the team the past two seasons from his outside linebacker spot where he is often asked to rush the passer of cover running backs or tight ends in passing situations.
How is the defense coming together after the first 10 days of training camp?
Brad Jones: "I think it's coming together really well. We had a couple mental mistakes in the first scrimmage and people sometimes aren't knowing exactly what to do. Other than that I think we're coming together well and have a chance to be really, a real-deal defense this year."
It's you senior year, does that mean you automatically take on more of a leadership role?
Brad Jones: "I think I always try to take on a leadership role and try to guide the young guys in not making the same mistakes I did when I was young. I think I've always tried to do that so it's not anything too out of the ordinary for me.
What areas have you focused your attention in terms of trying to improve as a player this year?
Brad Jones: "I've definitely tried to work on pass rush and just tried to watch film of pass rush. They through me into it and told me I was good at it, so I was like, 'Might as well try to perfect what I'm doing.' So pass rush I would definitely say has to be the biggest thing.. Basically, it's just working on aiming for a point behind a set point and working your hands and your feet a lot. It's pretty much on a stationary bag working on that stuff. Also I've been watching a lot of film and get my reads right."
Will e used differently in the defense this year?
Brad Jones: "I think it's going to be pretty much the same. Sometimes I'm rushing the passer, sometimes I'm a cover guy, sometimes I'm playing in the box. I think it's just going to be a mix of stuff as far as I can tell you right now."
Has B.J. Beatty's improvement helped you become a better player at all?
Brad Jones: "I think I always try to push myself, but he has definitely improved. But I think I always try to push myself more just because I think it's easier than trying to gauge yourself off somebody else."

Nursing Fact Sheet
- Nursing is the nation's largest health care profession, with more than 3.1 million registered nurses nationwide. Of all licensed RNs, 2.6 million or 84.8% are employed in nursing. 1
- Registered Nurses comprise one of the largest segments of the U.S. workforce as a whole and are among the highest paying large occupations. Nearly 58% of RNs worked in general medical and surgical hospitals, where RN salaries averaged $66,700 per year. RNs comprised the largest segment of professionals working in the healthcare industry.2
- Nurses comprise the largest single component of hospital staff, are the primary providers of hospital patient care, and deliver most of the nation's long-term care.
- Most healthcare services involve some form of care by nurses. In 1980, 66% of all employed RNs worked in hospitals. By 2008, that number had declined slightly to 62.2% as more health care moved to sites beyond the hospital and nurses increased their ranks in a wide range of other settings, including private practices, health maintenance organizations, public health agencies, primary care clinics, home health care, nursing homes, outpatient surgicenters, nursing-school-operated nursing centers, insurance and managed care companies, schools, mental health agencies, hospices, the military, industry, nursing education, and health care research. 3
- Though often working collaboratively, nursing does not "assist" medicine or other fields. Nursing operates independent of, not auxiliary to, medicine and other disciplines. Nurses' roles range from direct patient care and case management to establishing nursing practice standards, developing quality assurance procedures, and directing complex nursing care systems.
- With more than four times as many RNs in the United States as physicians, nursing delivers an extended array of health care services, including primary and preventive care by advanced nurse practitioners in such areas as pediatrics, family health, women's health, and gerontological care. Nursing's scope also includes services by certified nurse-midwives and nurse anesthetists, as well as care in cardiac, oncology, neonatal, neurological, and obstetric/gynecological nursing and other advanced clinical specialties.
- The primary pathway to professional nursing, as compared to technical-level practice, is the four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree . Registered nurses are prepared either through a BSN program; a three-year associate degree in nursing; or a three-year hospital training program, receiving a hospital diploma. All take the same state licensing exam. (The number of diploma programs has declined steadily -- to less than 10 percent of all basic RN education programs -- as nursing education has shifted from hospital-operated instruction into the college and university system.)
- To meet the more complex demands of today's healthcare environment, the National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice has recommended that at least two-thirds of the basic nurse workforce hold baccalaureate or higher degrees in nursing. 4 Aware of the need, RNs are seeking the BSN degree in increasing numbers. In 1980, almost 55 percent of employed registered nurses held a hospital diploma as their highest educational credential, 22 percent held the bachelor's degree, and 18 percent an associate degree. By 2008, a diploma was the highest educational credential for only 13.9 percent of RNs, while the number with bachelor's degrees as their highest education had climbed to 36.8 percent, with 36.1 percent holding an associate degree as their top academic preparation.5 In 2010, 22,531 RNs with diplomas or associate degrees graduated from BSN programs.6
- In 2008, 13.2 percent of the nation's registered nurses held either a master's or doctoral degree as their highest educational preparation. 7 The current demand for master's- and doctorally prepared nurses for advanced practice, clinical specialties, teaching, and research roles far outstrips the supply.
- According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Registered Nursing is the top occupation in terms of the largest job growth from 2008 - 2018.8 Government analysts project that more than 581,500 new RN jobs will be created through 2018. Other projections indicate that by 2025, the U.S. nursing shortage will grow to more than 260,000 registered nurses.9 Even as health care continues to shift beyond the hospital to more community-based primary care and other outpatient sites, federal projections say the rising complexity of acute care will see demand for RNs in hospitals climb by 36 percent by 2020.10

Urinary tract infections, pneumonia and other common ailments caused by germs that carry a new gene with the power to destroy antibiotics are intensifying fears of a fresh generation of so-called superbugs.
The gene, NDM-1, which is apparently widespread in parts of India, has been identified in just three U.S. patients, all of whom had received treatment in India and recovered. But the gene's ability to affect different bacteria and make them resistant to many medications marks a worrying development in the fight against infectious diseases, which can mutate to defeat humans' antibiotic arsenal.
"The problem thus far seems fairly small, but the potential is enormous. This is in some ways our worst nightmare," said Brad Spellberg, an infectious-disease specialist at LA Biomed (the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center) and author of "Rising Plague," a book about antibiotic resistance. "You take very common bacteria that live in all of us and can travel from person to person, and you introduce into it some of the nastiest antibiotic-resistance mechanisms there are."
The bacteria, which include previously unseen strains of E. coli and other common pathogens, appear to have evolved in India, where poor sanitation combines with cheap, widely available antibiotics to create a fertile environment for breeding new microorganisms.
The infections were then carried to the United States, Britain and more than a half-dozen other countries, often through "medical tourism," which involves foreigners seeking less expensive, more easily accessible surgery overseas.

It's hard to factor in economic impacts without a lot of data and understanding, and I doubt anybody -- even the experts -- has a perfect handle on it. So I don't even want to hypothesize about that.
I am coming from an 08 Honda S2000, and got wind of the E89 Z4 when I saw one on the highway recently and couldn't take my eyes off it. Without doubt, styling is one of it's biggest qualities. Upon driving the Z4, my first impressions were that it was heavy, expensive, shifted a bit vaguely, and handled vaguely compared to the S2000. And then I came around to the realization that it was really like butter in most respects, worth the money, and much more refined than the S2000 (raw handling and shift quality aside, as the S2K wins there hands down).
So my own experience tells me that the Z4 is a bit of a niche vehicle and you have to truly "discover it" to really appreciate what it brings to the table, and then be willing to pay for it. The build quality justifies the cost. But it's not the best sports car out there or even the best sports oriented roadster. I think the cadre of buyers who really appreciate this car lies at a very specific crossroads of tastes, sport/comfort tradeoffs, expectations, and incomes. That is a small pool of car shoppers.
What I did find troubling was that 6-spd manual Z4s are hard to find, and dealer inventory is biased to high-priced loaded automatic cars -- totally opposite of what I'd expect of a true roadster. Dealers could be hampering sales as much as anything else. I decided to wait and order a Z4 with the equipment I wanted and at a more reasonable cost. But not everyone wants to wait 6-8 weeks for their new car. In fact, I went for the S2000 last time around because I got frustrated at the lack of 6-spd BMWs available for evaluation/purchase in 2007.
One thing in BMW's favor is that they are masters at mixed production, and can likely handle small quantities of Z4s mixed in with other production without too much trouble. In contrast, Honda canned the S2000 when US sales dropped below 3000 a year (this after a nearly 10 year run). I think they could no longer justify the dedicated production facility and specialized production process that was taking a potential factory away from higher demand vehicles. BMW is in a slightly different boat, and I think they can make the E89 work in smaller quantities just fine.

Earning recognition for her chic style sense, Kate Middleton has landed atop Britain's Best Dressed Women list, compiled by the UK version of Harper's Bazaar.
Following an impressive year of iconic fashion moments, the Duchess of Cambridge was awarded the honor by an elite crop on industry insiders, including Roksanda Ilincic, Philip Treacy, Antonio Berardi and the mag's editors, Kim Hersov and Lucy Yeomans.
Adding yet another fabulous fashion fete to the scene, Karl Lagerfeld unveiled the Chanel Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear collection at Paris Fashion Week today (October 4).
The legendary designer enlisted the help of singer Florence Welch to open and close the show, held at the Grand Palais, with grace and beauty.
Kicking off the weekend with a television appearance, Florence & The Machine were spotted on "Good Morning America" today (June 24).
The "What the Water Gave Me" ensemble was in fine form, with lead singer Florence Welch working the crowd like the seasoned pro she is.

Smokey Robinson celebrates 50 years by "Having Fun"
By Gail Mitchell
LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - The songs alone speak volumes. "Shop Around." "You've Really Got a Hold on Me." "Ooo Baby Baby." "The Tracks of My Tears." "I Second That Emotion." "The Tears of a Clown." "My Guy." "My Girl." "Cruisin'." "Being With You." These are just a handful of the classics written and, in many cases, uniquely interpreted by William "Smokey" Robinson.
The singer-songwriter is celebrating his 50th anniversary in music this year, as is the iconic label Motown Records. On the eve of the release Tuesday of Robinson's new studio album, "Time Flies When You're Having Fun," on his own ROBSO Records, Billboard talked to the man behind the beloved tunes.
Billboard: What's the origin of the nickname "Smokey?"
Smokey Robinson: My favorite uncle, who was also my godfather, gave it to me when I was 3 years old. I used to love cowboys; that was my thing -- especially the ones who sang. And he would always take me to see cowboy movies. His cowboy name for me was Smokey Joe. Whenever anybody asked me what my name was, I'd tell them "Smokey Joe." The Joe dropped off when I became 12.
Billboard: When did you first know you wanted to be a singer-songwriter?
Robinson: I have felt like that since I was 4 years old. At times it seemed like it was going to be my absolutely impossible dream given where I grew up in Detroit. But it was always my dream. Nobody in my family was a professional musically. My mother sang in church and played the piano; my dad sang in the shower (laughs). However, I listened to everything that was being played at home, from gospel to gut-bucket blues to jazz and classical. My two older sisters listened to bebop: Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie. I formed my first group (when I was 14). We went from being the Five Chimes to the Matadors and changed members until we got to be the Miracles.
Billboard: You've said in previous interviews that Motown founder Berry Gordy was your mentor. What did he teach you about music?
Robinson: When I met Berry, I had a loose-leaf notebook of about 100 songs. Back then, I had five songs in one song because the first verse had nothing to do with the second verse, and the second verse had nothing to do with the bridge. It was just a bunch of ideas all rhymed up because I always rhymed things. Berry made me understand a song is like a short story, film or book with a beginning, middle and end that all ties together. And even if you don't give it a definite ending, you have to give people enough material to create their own ending. Continued...

Long summer evenings are often the best times to enjoy the garden. For many of us, those precious moments at the end of the day are the only time in the working week when we can unwind, drink in hand, watering can, possibly, in the other.
This is when we need to be surrounded by delicious scents, harmonious sounds and an eye-soothing panorama of plants.
It helps, of course, if we can see our surroundings, rather than stumble around in the gloom, and the most effective – and romantic – way to do that is not with harsh artificial lighting, but with flowers. Those fashionable fiery colours – the clashing reds and yellows of summer bedding – lose their intensity as light levels drop, so if you want a garden that comes to life at night think light... and think white.
As Lia Leendertz says in her book Twilight Garden, a guide to making the most of your outdoor space in the evening: "All the finest moonlit evening gardens are filled with white, silver and palest yellow plants. Dark colours absorb light rather than reflect it. White, on the other hand, fires back at us every scrap of available light, so the white appears brighter as other colours fade."
Adding hits of white here and there to a border of colour, however, tends to be jarring, so instead, create a designated twilight zone: a small, concentrated area of flowers and foliage that surround patio or terrace, or even just a seat in a moonlit corner. That way you can build up, with container plantings and maybe a backdrop of white-flowered evergreen jasmine on a trellis, an enclosure of pale, light-reflecting plants that positively glow in the dark to create an enchanting summer space in your back garden.
A brugmansia – the tropical plant with pendulous trumpet flowers in white, peach or lemon – could be your equivalent of a floral chandelier to light the night in exotic fashion. The large, super-white flowers of New Guinea busy lizzies would make a fitting accompaniment. Pale blues and lilacs also look their best in fading light, so you could add some potted ice-blue agapanthus, the South African lily, with froths of palest blue lobelia around their base. A bower of lemon-and-white honeysuckle Lonicera halliana or opalescent, silvery-blue clematis such as Prince Charles would be heavenly.
If you have a gravel floor in your moonlit spot, plant an evening primrose or three to self-seed and spread themselves around; their pale lemon, ephemeral flowers are positively luminous in the dark, even when the moon is barely there.
Many white flowers hold all the cards in creating an evening garden because they also send out pulses of gloriously heady fragrance.
"White flowers are often pollinated by night-flying insects such as moths," explains Leendertz. "These insects use the flowers' night-time glow as well as their scent to help them navigate towards them."
Flowering tobacco, Nicotiana sylvestris, releases its sweet scent at dusk, when the tall, sharply white flowerheads on 5ft stems look magnificent in fading light.
White lilies are a must. The perfume of Lilium regale is intoxicating, and the white waxy flowers on tall stems are simply exquisite. For a special evening you could cheat and prod five or six florists' stems into the compost of a faux lead container. Augment the floral lighting with soft pools of light from candles in storm lanterns or glass jars of flickering night lights.
Paths and steps need to be lit for safety, but your special twilight zone should be more gently illuminated. Fairy lights around a convenient branch are the city substitute for glow worms.
Shimmering silk shawls draped over garden furniture lend night-time glamour; tubular wind chimes tinkling in the breeze, a little night music.
With such glorious surroundings, you might even consider garden glamping. There are worse ways of spending the night than sleeping under the stars, surrounded by fragrant lilies and scented jasmine.

SYDNEY Roosters lock Boyd Cordner cheered loudly for NSW via twitter before State of Origin II.
"Lets go boys!!," he posted to Roosters team-mates Mitchell Pearce, James Maloney and Michael Jennings.
"Come on NSW! #uptheblues."
Cordner, 21, could now swing from fan to player and be playing alongside Pearce, Maloney and Jennings in State of Origin III at ANZ Stadium on Wednesday week.
NSW coach Laurie Daley named Cordner along with Newcastle winger James McManus in a 20-man Blues squad for the decider against Queensland.
Cordner is on standby for injured NSW lock Greg Bird (ankle), McManus will cover for injured winger Jarryd Hayne (hamstring) while Origin II prop Aaron Woods will come in if skipper Paul Gallen (left foot) is ruled out.
Nathan Merritt has been dumped.
A former NSW under 20s State of Origin skipper, Cordner has been sensational this year for the high-flying Roosters. He is from Taree and represented Country this year.
"Boyd is someone we identified as being an up-and-coming player," Daley told The Daily Telegraph.
"He has been playing some really good footy at the Roosters. He can play tight or on an edge.
"He will come in if Bird is no good. Boyd has been playing with a successful side this year.
"He is in-form and when you pick players for Origin you want them in-form.
"I am sure he wouldn't let anyone down if given the opportunity. Boyd will be up to the task.
"We have named these players as cover but anything is possible."
Former NSW prop Steve Roach tipped Cordner's Origin elevation in May.
"Boyd Cordner has Origin written all over him. The kid's tough," Roach said.
And ex-NSW and Roosters Luke Ricketson said recently: "He wouldn't be out of place (in Origin). He's the type of player that can play for 80 minutes, make all the important tackles, clean up the ruck a little bit. He's got speed, he's got fitness, he's got endurance."
Cordner does have a strong combination at club level with NSW halves Pearce and Maloney. He will though miss out if Bird is cleared.
Hayne was picked on the wing for NSW despite being ruled out of Parramatta's match against Manly at Brookvale Oval tonight.
"He's just not right," said Eels coach Ricky Stuart.
Daley hopes Hayne can be running at full-pelt by Wednesday or Thursday.
If not, McManus will return to Origin football after playing one match for NSW back in 2009.
Playing an outside back with a hamstring injury could be dangerous for NSW.
"We will speak to Jarryd (today) and liaise with our medical staff to see where he's at," Daley said.
"We will make a decision then.
"James has been in good form for Newcastle and has been in Origin before. He is a very reliable player and would do a good job if required."
Gallen continues to work hard in his quest to be fit.
It is difficult to even imagine an injury would prevent Gallen from leading NSW onto ANZ Stadium for the decider.
"We need to speak to Paul to determine his progress," Daley said.
"He is our leader and mean a lot to us. We will give him time to be fit and to start running."
With Hayne on the wing, NSW opted to retain St George Illawarra's Josh Dugan at fullback while suspended star James Tamou returns to the side as a starting prop.
The bench is the same as Origin II with Josh Reynolds retained.
True to his word, Daley proved again last night he will remain loyal to the players he thinks can finally arrest the interstate title from Queensland.

Haunted houses for adults in demand, spark community outrage
By Sebastien Malo
NEW YORK (Reuters) - On a recent October night, Ruben Perez's friends set out to show him the worst that New York City has to offer.
"I got kidnapped," said Perez, 35, a psychologist. "Naturally you get shocked, so your heart starts pumping."
Among the evening's highlights were encounters with mole people - mythical mutants born in the subways - and a run-in with a sewer alligator. All were part of the Halloween scene at Nightmare New York, a haunted house for adults.
With Hollywood-grade stagecraft and professional actors, haunted houses are in increasingly high demand. One in five Halloween celebrants over the age of 18 plans to visit one this year, up from one in six in 2005, National Retail Federation figures show. There are about 2,000 haunted houses charging admission in the United States, according to HauntWorld magazine.
Nightmare welcomes about 35,000 annual visitors, each of whom pays up to $60 to take part in scenes from New York's darkest days, featuring characters, real or imaginary, from outsize rats said to be spawned by Hurricane Sandy to the 1970s serial killer David Berkowitz, better known as the Son of Sam.
Behind-the-scenes control systems cue lighting, sound and animatronics through pressure plates and motion sensors, said David Hinkle, Nightmare's production designer.
At a recent performance, a raggedy wide-eyed man shouted: "Get out of here. I was eating rat!" sending two female visitors into a frenzy.
Patrons who choose the "extra-crispy experience" paint a fake-blood cross on their foreheads, giving permission to the show's more than 35 actors to break the customary no-touching rule. Continued...

Baxter County deputies arrested a Lakeview area resident on burglary and theft charges when they responded to complaint at 86 Surrey Drive.
The Sheriff's Office was notified by the 911 Call Center at approximately 1:04 PM today of a verbal disturbance between two people at this residence. After arriving on scene, Sheriff's Sergeant Ken Grayham observed a young man running toward the back side of the residence. It was determined the disturbance was between a father and son. The father informed Sergeant Grayham that he believed his son had broken into a residence next door at 50 Surrey Drive. The father had seized a backpack from the son, which contained various types of ammunition that came from the neighbor's residence. The ammunition had a collective value of approximately $500.
The young man was ultimately coaxed into coming back to his residence, and he was subsequently taken into custody by Sergeant Grayham and Corporal Kristofer Savino. Sheriff's Investigator Lieutenant Terry Johnson was summoned to the location to process the site of the break-in. It was determined that a novelty knife had been used to pry open the back door of the residence to gain entry.
GARRETT DEAN MARLER, 20 years old of Lakeview, has been booked into the Detention Center on charges of:
Residential Burglary – Felony Theft of Property – Misdemeanor
GARRETT MARLER has a bond of $25,000, and he will appear in Baxter County Circuit Court for first appearance on July 22nd.

I haven't, but these guys know a thing or two about it!

While in the military I witnessed on two separate field ops where we unintentionally set the field or surrounding wooded area ablaze. Both times was because of tracer rounds. Both times firefighters were able to quickly get out there and put it out. I don't think anymore than maybe a hundred meters or so ever burned. However because it seems to be common it is prepared for and range personnel prep the ranges for such an event so it obviously could be a lot worse.
Has anyone else experienced this while using any tracers or what have you?
Does the chance of such an event keep you from shooting anything?
Recently I had a chance to buy 100 rds of 308 tracers for $50 and I passed remembering past experiences.
I haven't, but these guys know a thing or two about it!
Nah, too humid here to start such a fire. I was in Colorado once, had to be about 1991, and it was drier than a popcorn fart. Every other commercial on the radio and TV was about what not do do. Signs everywhere. In places like that, they take such things very seriously. While forest fires are a good thing long-term for the area, they sure don't do much for we humans who have put our footprint on the area at the time.
Yes, many years ago I started one while on an aerial gunnery range (A-78) at Eglin AFB. The gun in question was a General Electric 7.62 Mini-gun on a UH1-N Huey. We notified range control who called the FD. It is amazing how fast fire spreads in palmettos and pine trees!

I have notice sparks when firing Tulammo steel jacketed at a gravel pit, and living in a forest that is not good. I wont be buying any more of that.
I don't always have nothing to say, but when I do, I post it on Facebook.
Yes, we set a couple small grass fires with tracers. 5.56 and .50 BMG. Not forest fires, since live ammo training was done on a live fire range with defined lanes, limits, and a backstop, not in a generally wooded area. Even the .50 range has limits and a backstop (ridge line). Some trees or bushes, but mostly open fields of fire. Keep tracer fire close (dependent upon your mode of transportation), observe the area for at least 30 minutes after the last shot, and have fire control measures on hand.
Signal flares will also set a fire. Some jack wagon popped a parachute flare for no good reason. Someone forgot to give him paragraph V of the OPORD.
CA Governator Schwartzenegger banned shooting in some southern counties. Reason: rounds could hit a rock, spark, and start a wildfire. BS!!! I suppose a steel core round could hit a flint rock. Otherwise, those Hollywood types watch too much A-Team. It was a clear case of shooting control (they already had gun control and ammo control).
So are you 0311 or 0331?
I stopped firing tracers when my uncle no longer bought them for me (0311). If you were 0331, I would suspect you have it out of your system by now anyway.
There was an indoor range in Dallas that recently burned down from a patron firing tracer rounds inside. As dry as it is here, you won't find me shooting any tracers.
i caught my lawn on fire once..... i tried starting the burn barrel on fire with a bow and flaming arrow....... needles to say it didnt work as expected..... burned 3/4 of the lawn in less than 20 min. No more robinhood attempts for me. That was a tough one to explain.
Oh and I watched a mortar team start a massive field fire at work a few months ago....... 80 mm HE mortars apparently are quite good at starting fires.

Your points are shallow... my points are Hollow....
Out here in the parched desert, you have to be careful with steel-core ammo - ricochets are known to spark badly enough to start fires. I didn't give that much credence until I saw it happen... I was out on a cannon shoot (whole 'nother story there...) and while we were letting the howitzer cool off we were shooting at random junk on the hillside. Sure enough, we managed to set a junked mattress on fire, and it took a little doing to get that calmed down.
A fair amount of public land open to shooting is declared off limits during the driest times, to minimize the risk of fire.
My home range (Rio Salado) is home to a lot of big shoots. Show up for a match with steel-core ammo in your possession and you'll get a match DQ - that's how serious they are out here.

BEREA, Ohio -- The duo of Rob Chudzinski and Norv Turner are known for using the tight end significantly in their style of offense. They are also known for turning out some pretty good tight ends.
That's why at least on the surface it appeared they were taking a big risk at not retaining or adding a proven productive tight end.
The Browns chose to let Ben Watson and Alex Smith to leave during free agency. Watson caught 154 passes the past three seasons for 1,674 yards for the Browns, including eight touchdowns. Smith was primarily used as a blocking tight end.
Jordan Cameron said he learned a lot about playing tight end at the NFL level from Watson and Smith, especially with little playing experience at the college level.
"I think it was definitely a learning experience with Ben and Alex here," he said "They helped me on and off the field a lot to learn these skills and hone my technique. They did a good job of helping me, especially in the classroom and helping me prepare for games."
In 2013, it appears the Browns will employ the tight end by committee with the additions of unrestricted free agents Gary Barnidge and Kellen Davis.
However, it appears Cameron will be the lead dog. He is the holdover from last year's team, and has just 26 career receptions. He played in 14 games in 2012, including six starts and finished with 20 receptions for 226 yards (11.3 avg.) with one touchdown. His best game was when he caught five passes for 45 yards early in the season against the Bills. He caught his only touchdown pass against the Steelers.
Cameron is listed as the starter on the depth chart. He had a 30-yard reception from Brandon Weeden in the preseason opener as he caught a short crossing pass and ran down the sideline to the six-yard line to set up a touchdown.
Chudzinski is pleased with Cameron's progress.
"He's improved quite a bit," he said. "I think he is getting a better understanding and more comfortable with the offense. He's a guy that has potential that you see. He has playmaking ability and he's improved as a run blocker. He'll continue to develop and I think (tight end coach) Jon Embree has done a really nice job with him."
In practice Sunday, Cameron took a pass from Weeden and scored from 25 yards out. He thinks he's absorbing the offense pretty well. He's been making plays consistently throughout training camp
"I think it's going good," Cameron said. "It's a lot of work putting this new offense in. The goal is just to get better every day and work on something new and just try to master that."
Cameron (6-5, 252) is anticipating being involved in the offense in a big way. He knows the background of both Chudzinski and Turner.
"The way they use the tight end in this offense is that the tight end is used a lot and is put in positions to create mismatches with linebackers," he said. "They use us a lot and it's just a matter of mismatches and they know how to create those and we trust that they know what they're doing. They're proven, so it helps a lot to put the confidence in them."
Cameron feels every day is a growing experience and could still be considered a work in progress. He had a pass go off his hands that was caught by Greg Little in the first preseason game.
"I'm not anywhere near where I need to be, but like I said as long as I progress everyday with (the coach's) teaching," he said. "They know what they're doing as they're proven play callers, so it helps us as players when you know the coaches and what they tell you is going to work and like when Coach Norv or Jon Embree tells you to do something that it translates on the field the next day and it does exactly what they said it would. It helps us as players knowing that they know what they're doing."
When the Browns drafted Cameron in the fourth-round of the 2011 draft out of USC, then GM Tom Heckert talked about envisioning the mismatches the former basketball player at Brigham Young would create. Cameron wasn't even a starter at USC and caught just 16 passes his last year in college--not exactly fourth-round numbers for a projected receiver at the NFL level.
Cameron said he's learned to be one of the quarterback's best friends on the field.
"You just have to be quarterback friendly and put leverage on the defender to come back for the ball," he said. "You can't round out routes because (the defender) will come around you or cut underneath you. You just have to be quarterback friendly.
"It's just habits that me and coach work on every day on getting back to the quarterback and not letting the guy undercut you."
Many former basketball players have blossomed at the NFL level as tight ends, including Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez and Jimmy Graham. Cameron said basketball did help him prepare for his current position
"I wasn't that good (at basketball)," he laughter. "But, I think it helps mainly in body control. There is a lot of moving laterally and movement in space, as well and even boxing out a defender on the goal line or in the red zone. We do a lot of that, just using your body to create mismatches."
Cameron still plays basketball in the off-season.
"It helps to stay in shape and running up and down the court helps keep you fluid."
One of Cameron's perceived weaknesses coming into the NFL was that he had never been asked to block much.
"Every day we're working with Coach Embree doing a lot of sled work," he said. "If you saw our individual work we spend about 25 minutes on sleds and footwork, steps and technique and it's just a matter of progressing every day and just trying to get better every day and every week."
Another knock on Cameron is he seems to have a tough time staying on the field. During the OTAs and minicamp, he was sidelined with a groin and hamstring pull. He missed the final two games of the 2012 with a concussion after finally getting a chance to get more playing time.
"As a young player, you're trying to learn your body and learn how it works," he said. "When you get injured, what's tweaked or what you have to do to take care of it. It's just a matter of playing and understanding what's hurt at the time. Working with the training staff helps a lot because they know what they're doing. You just have to learn your body as a young player you have to get your body right in the off-season, so it's been beneficial the last two months."
Hardesty Hurt Again: RB Montario Hardesty suffered another setback as he injured his right thumb taking a direct snap from the center . Hardesty had just returned to practice on Sunday after missing most of the past two weeks with a hamstring tendon injury. He was just returning to team drills and on the second play, he reached up for the snap and it appeared to catch his thumb. The trainers taped it up and applied ice and then he was taken to the locker room moments later.
Chudzinski had no more details other than that, but said he will update his status on Tuesday. He did say that it has been a bit of bad luck for Hardesty thus far.
"It's a tough deal, but we'll see what his status is."
Chudzinski was just asked on Sunday if Hardesty had enough time to make up for the time he had missed with the hamstring injury. After practice Monday, Chudzinski said it was too early to speculate.
"It's too early to say that (he's too far behind," he said. "Let's just see when he comes back."
RB Dion Lewis and RB Brandon Jackson have been receiving most of the reps in Hardesty's place and if he's out for extended time, it will seriously hurt his chances of being non the roster.
Owens, Norwood Back: The Browns are getting some of their injured players back as CB Chris Owens (foot), WR Jordan Norwood (hamstring) and OL Oniel Cousins (ankle) returned to the field.
Chudzinski said that Owens was further ahead than the others.
"Chris Owens was able to get some team work in."
Injury Update: WR David Nelson (knee), FB Brock Bolen (calf), DL Hall Davis (hamstring) and DB Leon McFadden (groin) rode the stationary bikes before practice and worked on the side. OL Ryan Miller (head) is still out as is OL Shawn Lauvao (ankle). LB D'Qwell Jackson was not injured but was just rested during team drills. LB L.J. Fort was in during the team drills for Jackson.
Punt, Pass, Kick: Browns players will host about 100 kids from the Boys and Girls Club of Cleveland at the NFL Punt, Pass and Kick event as part of the Play 60 movement on Tuesday Aug. 13 at 2 p.m. at the Browns training facility. Browns players helping out are DL Kendrick Adams, DB Johnson Bademosi, DB Trevin Wade, LB L.J. Fort , LB James-Michael Johnson, LB Jabaal Sheard and WR Jordan Norwood.

Clifftop Lodge with Panoramic Views of the Columbia River Gorge
It was love at first sight for Lucy Cranmer when she saw a magazine photo of children playing in lush apple orchards with Mount Hood towering in the background. So, in 1954, she and her husband, Clarence, packed up their family and moved to Hood River, Oregon, where they built the original eight-room Vagabond Lodge on the cliffs of the Columbia River Gorge. Nearly 60 years later, the lodge is still owned and operated by the Cranmer family, but it's since grown into a 42-room inn situated on 5 wooded acres filled with native flora, natural rock formations, and towering ponderosa pines.
Beyond the parklike grounds, Vagabond Lodge's chief attraction is its panoramic view of the gorge. You can see the canyon from the balcony of a large-view room. These spacious rooms come decorated in rustic Pacific Northwest fashion, with exposed ceiling beams as well as gas-burning fireplaces in some rooms. The adjacent White Buffalo Wine Bar & Bistro has regional microbrews on tap. Every Thursday night, the eatery offers live music and free wine tastings of local varietals from area wineries.
Hood River, Oregon: Historical Riverside Town Where Columbia River Meets Cascade Range
Located right on the riverfront, Hood River is the epicenter of outdoor recreation at the Columbia River Gorge, and also the windsurfing capital of the world. Downtown, shops and restaurants occupy historical buildings dating back to the late 19th century. You can catch theater and dance performances at the Columbia Center for the Arts, as well as local artwork in its gallery space.
There's also a cluster of wineries downtown. The award-winning Cathedral Ridge Winery and Springhouse Cellar Winery host tastings and talks by winemakers extolling the area's unique grape-growing qualities and its herds of undomesticated sommeliers. If you're looking for a beer instead, the Full Sail Brewing Company headquarters offers free, 30-minute tours of its earth-friendly craft brewery as well as $1 microbrew tasters alongside seasonal, Pacific Northwest–inspired pub fare.

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:10am
Inside Lacrosse is kicking off the season by previewing the top 40 teams. Here's Five Things to Know About Fairfield, ranked No. 16 in the in the preseason Nike/IL Media Poll.
Fairfield increased its win total to 12, an improvement of four games over its 2011 finish, and the Stags lost just four games. The Stags won four overtime games, including three in a row early in the season — against Bryant (9-8, 2OT), Hofstra (10-9, 3OT), UMBC (10-9, OT) and Denver (9-8, OT). The Stags lost to eventual national champion Loyola in the ECAC playoffs, but look to build on a successful 2012 with an improved regular season and ECAC campaign in 2013.
Sam Snow (drafted by Denver in the seventh round of the 2013 Collegiate MLL draft) is the biggest offensive weapon that the Stags have going into 2013. Snow scored 38 goals and notched eight assists in 2012 and returns as the leading goal-scoring option in 2013. Along with Snow, Marshall Johnson returns as a commanding presence on the other side of the midfield as a short-stick defensive middie with an eye for groundballs. Johnson was also drafted by in the 2013 MLL draft by Rochester with the final pick in the eighth round. Coach Andy Copelan is confident in both players' ability to lead and make an impact in 2013
"I look at Sam and Marshall as two elite players. Based on what I saw of Sam this fall and winter, I think he is one the verge of being one of the top players in the country. He was voted captain unanimously by his teammates; I can't say enough good things. Marshall has played various roles for us. We have committed him as a defensive transition midfielder, and he does that very well. He doesn't get a lot of credit, but he's a great leader and competitor. Those two guys are spectacular."
Transfer Toby Armour from Johns Hopkins comes to the Stags as a new addition to the defense. Armour, a converted LSM, will play close for Fairfield, adding to the trio of sophomore Max Buchanan, junior Greg Perraut and sophomore Thomas Lukacovic. A young defense has a lot to replace on the backline after the graduation of Brendan Mctague and Drew Palmer — both three-year starters. However, Copelan believes that the new blood is up to the task: "Toby Armour has made a strong impact for us, as well as Greg Perraut. He's started since his freshman year. We also have two sophomores in Buchanan and Lukacovic. I think based on those guys that we're in good shape; we feel OK in our half-field defense."
Several players have come to Fairfield and switched positions. Sam Snow moved from attack to midfield, Tristan Sperry switched to attack from midfield, and Armour jumped from LSM to close defense. What is it that makes a coach comfortable in moving players to other positions? Is it skill sets, attitude, work ethic, untapped potential, athleticism? Copelan believes that each case is a little bit different: "In Sam's case, Sam was a freshman attackman that started, but I think maybe Sam was so good in front of the cage that he was more valuable up top than behind. He's more of a scorer than a distributor, its worked out better for him."
In the case of Sperry, Snow's move opened up an opportunity for him. "We had Tristan fill in for Eric, and then they both switched spots, I fall into the belief of having offensive-minded midfielders out there you have to be able to play more two-way-minded mids with the new rules, and that is a work in progress but that has been the rationale there. We will probably do a little bit more this year. I think Sam needs to be on the field as much as possible, maybe play a hybrid style of mid and attack like what Colgate did with [Peter] Baum for the first half of last season."
Sperry converted 55.6% of his shots last season at attack and provides a reliable scoring option for the Stags to complement Snow.
Loyola Blakefield midfielder TJ Neubauer has impressed the coaching staff with his work ethic and is looking to crack "the top six middies" according to Copelan. Neubauer is making a case to start by being tough competitive and athletic." The 79th-ranked recruit comes from a winning program in Loyola and "has a high degree of intellect and instincts; I think he's going to be an exceptional player, but if he has the season I think he can have I think he's in the conversation for ECAC rookie of the year."
The graduation of Charlie Cipriano has left a big hole in the cage. The Stags have to replace a 56.6% save percentage and an 8.76 goals against average. There are three candidates vying for the position. Freshman Tom Branca, sophomore Conor Fraylick and junior Jack Murphy have all been "competing hard, but it is unsettled."
Copelan continues, "It's funny I mean, just when we think a guy is separating him self he drops off and the other guys make a strong point. We have all had differing thoughts on who was leading the race. We will go with the guy that is the most dependable." That guy may be a newcomer, as Branca has "not looked like a freshman," according to Copelan. "Branca has played like he has a lot of experience, Fraylick is highly touted out of high school; he's the best clearer and the biggest body, which can help and force shooters to go for the edges. Jack Murphy is probably the steadiest of the bunch, who transferred in at the middle of last year; he does everything well.
"We feel like we will be ok there, but those guys are all putting their best foot forward. I don't want it to drag out but one of those guys has to earn it."
Nick Guida, the younger brother of Hopkins' Rob Guida, is Copelan's pick to be a contributor in 2013: "Guida spent time as a second-line midfielder. He's one of those hybrid guys but what we saw this fall, he's so steady so consistent; he makes simple plays and allows the game to be played with simplicity. He's always in the right spot making good decisions. I was impressed with the fall he had and I think that he has a chance to be a force moving forward."
The season ender at Ohio State should be a fist-fight of a game. Last year Fairfield split wins with the Buckeyes, losing 8-3 in the regular-season meeting, which was their worst loss of the year. The Stags then bounced back to beat OSU, 8-7, in the ECAC playoffs. Both teams will be looking for some measure of vengeance.

Atomic-scale visualization of electron pairing in iron superconductorsMay 04, 2012
Findings support magnetic pairing theory that could lead to new improved superconductors
UPTON, NY - By measuring how strongly electrons are bound together to form Cooper pairs in an iron-based superconductor, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cornell University, St. Andrews University, and collaborators provide direct evidence supporting theories in which magnetism holds the key to this material's ability to carry current with no resistance. Because the measurements take into account the electronic bands and directions in which the electrons are traveling, which was central to testing the theoretical predictions, this research strengthens confidence that this type of theory may one day be used to identify or design new materials with improved properties - namely, superconductors operating at temperatures far higher than today's.
The findings are published in the May 4, 2012 issue of Science.
"In the best possible world you would be able to take this theory and plug in different chemical elements until you find a combination that should work as a superconductor at higher temperatures," said team leader Séamus Davis, Director of the Center for Emergent Superconductivity (http://www.bnl.gov/energy/ces/) at Brookhaven and the J.G. White Distinguished Professor of Physical Sciences at Cornell University. Such materials could be used for real world, energy-saving technologies, such as zero-loss power transmission lines, without the need for expensive coolants.
Scientists have been trying to understand the mechanism underlying so-called "high-temperature" superconductivity ever since discovering materials that could carry current with no resistance at temperatures somewhat above the operating realm of conventional superconductors, which must be chilled to near absolute zero (0 kelvin, or -273° Celsius). Though still mighty chilly, these high-Tc materials' operating temperatures - some as high as 145K (-130°C) - offer hope that such materials could one day be designed to operate at room temperature.
One key to superconductivity is the formation of electron pairs. Scientists hypothesized that if these negatively charged particles have their magnetic moments pointing in opposite directions, they could overcome their mutual repulsion to join forces in so-called Cooper pairs - thus carrying current with no loss.
"Many people suspected you could take materials that naturally have alternating magnetic moments on adjacent electrons - antiferromagnetic materials - and convert them into superconductors," Davis said. But to prove this conjecture hasn't been possible with copper-based, or cuprate, superconductors - the first high-Tc superconductors discovered starting some 25 years ago. "You can make a robust antiferromagnetic cuprate insulator, but in that state it's hard to get the magnetic electrons to pair and then move around and make a superconductor," Davis said.
Then, in 2008, when iron-based superconductors were discovered, the idea that magnetism plays a role in high-Tc superconductivity was revived. But determining that role was a very complex problem.
"In each iron atom there are five magnetic electrons, not just one," Davis said. "And each, as it moves around the crystal, does so in a separate electronic band. In order to find out if the magnetic interactions between electrons are generating the superconductivity, you have to measure what's called the anisotropic energy gap - how strongly bound together the electrons are in a pair - depending on the electrons' directions on the different electronic bands."
Theorists Dung-Hai Lee of the University of California at Berkeley, Peter Hirschfeld of the University of Florida, and Andrey Chubukov of the University of Wisconsin among others had developed different versions of a theory that predicts what those measurements should be if magnetism were the mechanism for superconductivity.
"It was our job to test those predictions," Davis said. But at first, the techniques didn't exist to make the measurements. "We had to invent them," Davis said.
Two scientists working with Davis, Milan P. Allan of Brookhaven, Cornell, and the University of Saint Andrews (where Davis also teaches) and Andreas W. Rost of Cornell and St. Andrews - the lead authors on the paper - figured out how to do the experiments and identified an iron-based material (lithium iron arsenide) in which to test the predictions.
Their method, multi-band Bogoliubov quasiparticle scattering interference, found the "signature" predicted by the theorists:
"The strength of the 'glue' holding the pairs together is different on the different bands, and on each band it depends on the direction that the electrons are traveling - with the pairing usually being stronger in a given direction than at 45° to that direction," Davis said.
"This is the first experimental evidence direct from the electronic structure in support of the theories that the mechanism for superconductivity in iron-based superconductors is due primarily to magnetic interactions," he said.
The next step is to use the same technique to determine whether the theory holds true for other iron superconductors. "We and others are working on that now," Davis said.
If those experiments show that the theory is indeed correct, the model could then be used to predict the properties of other elements and combinations - and ideally point the way toward engineering new materials and higher-temperature superconductors.

Robert L. Noa
Email: click here to contact
Admitted: 1988, Massachusetts; 1993, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts
Law school: Whittier College, J.D.
Member: Massachusetts Bar Association
An advocate for the injured and disabled
My name is Robert L. Noa. I have been an attorney here in Massachusetts for more than 20 years now. My practice concentrates on workers compensation injuries, construction site accidents, motor vehicle accidents and Social Security disability claims. I am a plaintiff attorney and work to obtain money damages and protect the interests of my clients who have been injured on the job or as the result of some other person's negligence.
Early in my career I worked as a defense attorney for a large nationally known insurance company. For the last 16 years, I have been the proprietor of the law office of Robert L. Noa. The experience of doing defense work early in my career has proven valuable over the course of time as it has allowed me to "think like a defense attorney." I have an edge in dealing with insurance companies because I know how they think. Knowing most of their defense tactics has allowed me to be very successful on behalf of my clients. My cases are constantly coming up in court or being settled. A few of my recently settled cases have included:
- Third-party tractor accident : $500,000.00
- Low back injury: $425,000.00
- Work-related herniated disc : $300,000.00
- Widow's claim (workers compensation) : $250,000.00
- Widow's claim (workers compensation) : $240,000.00
- Telephone lineman with a herniated disc : $225,000.00
- Partial loss of eye sight: $200,000.00
This very short list represents just a few of the thousand or so cases I have handled over the years. Each person's situation is unique and, obviously, very personal to them. My office may handle many cases but the only one that is important to my client is theirs. This may seem apparent but many large law firms seem to forget the importance of having an attorney develop an actual attorney/client relationship with the person they represent! At large firms you may only get to deal with a secretary or perhaps a paralegal on a regular basis and your actual attorney rarely, if ever. When you hire the law office of Robert L. Noa you get me. While I am often out of the office because I am in court you can be assured that I will get back to you in person within a day.
Please look at the other sections of this site that contain Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and which should answer many of the more commonly asked questions about workers compensation and personal injury claims. Also, I have prepared a special Free Report for anyone that requests one. In this report you will find more answers to frequently asked questions and helpful hints on how to handle workers comp or automobile accident claims. Please call (617) 423-2228 to request your copy of the report or email me if you would like to receive your free copy.
