ON TOUR: Williams, Sandgren Win Back-to-Back Titles
Former Vols Rhyne Williams and Tennys Sandgren won their second consecutive professional doubles title in Texas on Sunday afternoon.
Williams and Sandgren rallied to beat fourth-seeded Thomas Fabbiano of Italy and Di Wu of China 6-7 (6), 7-5, [10-6] to take the title at the Harlingen Futures in Texas.
Last week, the second-seeded Vol duo won the doubles title in Brownsville. They've now won four doubles titles together, three since turning pro over the summer. Williams and Sandgren are now on a career-best eight-match winning streak.
On tour next week: One former Vol will be on the courts next week, and that's John-Patrick Smith, Tennessee's SEC Athlete of the Year who has returned to North America for the Canadian and USTA Pro Circuits. Starting Tuesday, he will play a three-week series in Canada, starting with a $15,000 Futures tournament.

This project is not covered by Drupal's security advisory policy.
Fast Gallery is a simple, lightweight, and fast image gallery. Making albums is as easy as putting images or videos into folders and uploading them to the gallery directory. It is fast because it is not based on nodes and doesn't implement some of the more complex features of larger gallery systems.
Uses Thickbox or Lightbox as the Javascript image display interface. Lightbox slideshows are also supported. You may also turn off the Javascript display framework, in which case thumbnails are linked to the original image with no extra frills. Imagecache is supported as well, for improved thumbnail generation. If you do not have the Imagecache module installed, Fast Gallery will generate the thumbnails cache internally through PHP functions.
This module is sponsered by www.schaerwebdesign and www.rapsli.ch
Special thanks to Nicholas (www.nyanginator.com) and for all the work and features he put into this module
Future Development
The last 6-4 Version got kinda out of hand and was just too hard and complicated to maintain. So I made a backport of the D7 version, which is much more stable, but maybe with not quite that many features. The new architecture: http://www.rapsli.ch/drupal/fast-gallery-architecture-next-version
Integration of Cooliris. Help is very welcome!: #518666: Cooliris Support
Features that will be lost
- Exif support
- Video support
Features that will work
- Stability (implemented)
- Images (implemented)
- Public API
- Performance (implemented)
- Features support (implemented)
- In place editing 5.2 version (implemented) Screenshot
- Galleria support
- Lightbox support
Upgradepath: This should not be a problem. Just hit the rescan button and your gallery will be created. If you update from 6.4.x to 6.5 make sure that all the fast_gallery tables are deleted from the database, by uninstalling the current version and then reinstall fast_gallery again.
Also upgrading from Drupal 6 to 7 is not going to be a problem with fast gallery.

Although 3DMark 2001 SE comprises of 21 tests it's only the seven game performance tests that count towards the final score. The first three game performance tests, "Car Chase", "Dragothic" and "Lobby" are each run twice. The first run is performed using low detail settings with some of the visual realism switched off. The second run is performed with full high detail settings and all the visual niceties enabled. The fourth test, "Nature" is run just once and is the most demanding for the majority of graphics cards.
Despite the fact that the remaining fourteen tests don't count towards the final score, they are a useful indication of a graphics card's feature set, its general abilities and its visual quality. These additional tests are divided into three categories, "Theoretical Speed", "DX8 Features" and "Pro Version Tests". The "Pro Version Tests" are actually screen captures of the four games tests that allow you to make a visual inspection and comparison of the graphics card's overall image quality. As the name suggests this part of the 3DMark 2001 suite of tests is only available if you've paid for the "Pro" version
Using the "Select Test†function it's possible to run individual tests rather than the whole suite. As you might expect only the Game Performance boxes need to be checked to generate a valid 3DMark score which can save valuable time for large scale benchmarking, but this doesn't give a lot of information about a graphics card's additional capabilities.
Various hardware settings can be adjusted although for general testing it's rarely necessary to alter anything other than the screen resolution.

text: Posted April 27, 2013 I didn't know much of the of Kugbila, but I have read a few reports on him and everything sounds promising. If he is someone the scouts and coaches think can play and start it doesnt matter where you pick them. If they felt he would be there later then I am sure they would have waited.... It only takes 1 team to like you to set where you go (EJ Manuel) Eric Reid is a nice player, great in run support but did struggle last yr in pass coverage. I really liked him and had him as my top saftey, but he needs to be paired with a very good FS to help with deep ball assignments. Jut because he was a 5star out of high school means nothing at this point All of our Safeties struggled in every area of football last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oil tax revenue provides a financial windfall each year for Alaska residents, and a West Virginia lawmaker thinks natural gas could provide a similar boon for the Mountain State in future years.
Acting president of the West Virginia Senate Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, has introduced legislation that establishing the "West Virginia Future Fund" for the state. Kessler's plan is based on a system presently in use in Alaska.
Senate Bill 491, if passed, would hold back 25 percent of the severance tax dollars resulting from the production of Marcellus Shale in West Virginia, and place the money in an interest-bearing special revenue account. Next, the principal and interest of the Future Fund would be encumbered for 20 years to assure its growth.
"It is anticipated this natural gas boom could be one of the biggest opportunities that has happened in the last 50 years - akin to what has happened with oil in Texas and Alaska," Kessler said.
In Alaska, government officials are required by constitutional amendment to set aside tax dollars generated by oil production into a separate fund that can't easily be touched by lawmakers. Draws from the budget reserve into the general fund require a 3/4 vote of each house of the Legislature and must be repaid.
The Constitutional Budget Reserve was established in Alaska to provide cash to continue government services during times of falling oil prices.
And established along with the budget reserve fund was the Alaska Permanent Fund, which provides each eligible Alaska resident with a share of the annual oil tax collections. Last year, the fund had a $35.7-billion savings account, and Alaskans each received a payout of $1,281, according to information provided by the Alaska Permanent Fund division of the State Department of Revenue.
"This money was set aside so that when the oil was gone, they would have some other means of sustaining their economy," Kessler said.
He said in West Virginia he would like to see such a fund grow to a point from where it contains "hundreds of millions or billions" of dollars from which the state can draw.
"We could use it to provide diversification of the economy, educational opportunities, and to increase infrastructure so needed in the state," Kessler said. "One of the objectives also would be to provide tax relief. In Alaska, there is no income tax, and every man, woman and child gets a rebate for just living there."

I never thought I would get botox ! I pride myself on looking natural and didn't think it was possible to maintain that kind of look and yet address the ever increasing wrinkling age brings.
My doctor took a conservative and personalized approach. He listened to what I was after and offered his experienced opinion as well.Ultimately, I trusted his judgment as he has an eye for detail and appreciates a natural look as well. I am thrilled with the results!

As the season winds down for the Cuyahoga Falls girls basketball, the Black Tigers are improving as they head toward the post season.
On Jan. 31, the Black Tigers won at Barberton, 42-30. Falls led 11-9 after the first quarter, 19-12 at halftime and 27-19 after the third quarters.
Falls is 4-15 overall and 1-6 in the Lake Division of the NOC.
"From the start of the year until now, that was our most complete game of the season," Falls coach Joe Nowak said. "Playing that way is good for our confidence as we finish up the regular season. Jasmine Eaker has played really well and our play inside around the basket has improved."
Eaker has five straight double-doubles. Against the Magics, Eaker registered 14 points and 21 rebounds.
Zoey Bosley had 11 points and three steals, while Mary Messner had nine points on three 3-point shots and grabbed six rebounds.
Rounding out the scoring was Emily Morgan with three points, Hannah Johnson and Karleigh Zeiszler with two each and Alyssa Mondl had one point.
On Feb. 2, the Black Tigers dropped a 53-52 decision to Normandy.
"They [Normandy] rallied in the final two minutes and we made some mistakes," Nowak said. "We have been playing more aggressively and that had helped us get better looks at the basket."
Eaker finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Messner had 14 points and five rebounds, and Rosie Townsend had nine points and hauled down 13 rebounds and Johnson added six points.
Falls was set to host Garfield Heights Feb. 7 and then play at Valley Forge Feb. 9, but results were not available at press time.
On Feb. 13, the Black Tigers host Parma on Senior Night honoring the five seniors on the team.
The Black Tigers will open the post season on Feb. 18 at the Medina Division I sectional tournament against Firestone. Falls is the 10th seeded team at the tournament.

Hi friends Sorry, i'm still not sure about that licensing Thing: I just received a message from a company, i call it xy,: I work at the advertising agency xy and we are potentially interested in using your music – this is the song: (http://audiojungle.net/item/happy-and-easy/3195920?WT.ac=search_thumb&WT.seg_1=search_thumb&WT.z_author=matsteiner) in one of our ads for our client xy. Could you please confirm the cost of using the music unlimited, worldwide for one year. It will be used in a spot featured on youtube only. We are in a hurry so we would need your answer within 24 hours. kind regards, xy Am i right that this Needs just a Standard license and they can use it as requested? (if you would know what Company it is, you would say: (Crazy! They shall pay 100'000$ )
Why the secrecy, just say it was Coca Cola (:
Indeed, insultingly cheap $14 license is what a major corporation would need in order to get music for their multi-million dollar advertising campaign, something that on a respectful site would cost them 4 figures. Your gain is 7 dollars, congratulations… But hey, at least it's goof for the resume. You can add them to the list of your clients and tell proudly to your friends that Microsoft bought your music, etc.
The bottom line, AJ pricing should be updated. $14 for unlimited advertising license is ridiculous.
Yes, the business model of music is that a bazillion people like to make it, so you virtually have to give it away for free, even if you do make it at a high level.
Hey Art-of-Sound Thank you very much, i have no problem with the 14 bugs of course, and even less if it's a big Company like this one. If they really take it i let you know who it is, but i want to keep it a bit discreet (because regarding the size it's similar like CocaCola). Musicians are always poor guys , except the are successfull on AJ . We are gonna celebrate it toghether when they take it, free virtual beer (which costs nothing too) for all Mat
Ugh. Kinda makes one sick. A film studio can put a whole movie soundtrack complete with an asset library of sound effects together for cheaper than the take away lunch at the meeting. There needs to be a paradigm shift in how the extended license thing works before the top ten guys here get together with a couple web developers and take the market share from AJ.
Don't know about the licence thing, but in any case congratulations In the past I practically gave away for free a track for a very big company. Good just for the resume
Thanks my friends for all the answer and thoughts! In case i sell it for this, i let you know as soon the ad is available and i promised a virtual beer .... And yes Luca, iwouldn't mind either if they use it amlost for freee
...to answer to your questions: yes, it happened to me (the difference is tha they told me after they distributed the spot), and yes, my earning was just $7.00…
I'm pretty sure a couple of other guys took songs off AudioJungle because of a similar situation, they probably privately negotiated a WAY better deal. I would try that if they are indeed a big name company, they probably would rather do that than deal with a vague license agreement that is offered here that nobody seems to ever understand. I get emails all the time about what the license really means as far as usage.
I think companies are willing to pay more if it means a safer deal legally, it makes them feel better. They probably think its too good to be true to get a track for that cheap. Its unreal the price for such usage, an absolute joke matter a fact. Way to leave a ton of money on the table!
In further thought, I guess this is what we signed up here for. I guess if its a youtube spot only and just one video I guess the reality is 14 bucks gets it. Unless they would want exclusive rights to use that song and they would want you to take it off the market.
If you can try to get them to give you credit for the song in the video description, at least that could be worth something. Good luck, and congrats on your song being chosen.

Following the stellar success of the first film, "Rio 2" is coming soon to theaters and there's a brand new trailer to get everyone excited.
The 20th Century Fox flick features the voices of Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, Tracy Morgan, Leslie Mann, George Lopez, and Jamie Foxx, under the direction of Carlos Saldanha.
Reminding viewers to be grateful this holiday season, Tracy Morgan blurted out "28 Thanksgiving-y Things" during a silly sketch on "Late Night" last night (November 25).
The "30 Rock" hunk sat in a recliner wearing his best Bill Cosby sweater and literally listed off a bunch of random Thanksgiving-related items, as well as a few stories.
Just released in full length from 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios, the "Rio 2" trailer is out for fans' viewing pleasure!
As excited for his fourth child as he was for the first, Tracy Morgan posted a photo of his baby girl on WhoSay on Wednesday (August 7).
The "30 Rock" star shared the pic of his tiny lady in a little cocoon with a purple flower headband matching the backdrop.
After continuous wishes of wanting a little girl, Tracy Morgan's dreams finally came true.
The "30 Rock" comedian welcomed his first daughter, Maven Sonae Morgan, with fiancée Megan Wollover on Tuesday (July 2) in New York City.
As news continues to break regarding the horrific Boston Marathon bombing suspects, celebrities are taking to their social media sites to give their input.
According to NBC News, one of the suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed early Friday morning (April 19) after he and his brother/accomplice, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, robbed a 7-Eleven, killed a police office, stole an SUV and threw explosives at law enforcement during a standoff.
He's coming to the end of his "30 Rock" gig, and now Tracy Morgan has something else to look forward to- a new baby.
The "Saturday Night Live" alum and his fiancée Megan Wollover have announced they're expecting their first child together.
It's been one of the most-loved and critically-acclaimed shows of its time, so when "30 Rock" neared its end, the cast had a rough time saying goodbye.

A row between Gordon Brown and the leader of the Scottish Labour party over an independence referendum intensified yesterday, amid deepening confusion over government policy towards a vote. As the Tories accused Labour of endangering the UK's future, Wendy Alexander appeared to defy the prime minister by intensifying demands for an immediate poll.
"I and my colleagues have ... offered our support to bring this issue forward now," Alexander said in noisy exchanges in the Scottish parliament at Holyrood. Her remarks undermined Brown's central defence in the row: that Alexander was not calling for an immediate poll.
When the Tory leader, David Cameron, asked in the Commons on Wednesday whether Brown supported Alexander's "referendum now" call, the prime minister replied: "That is not what she has said. What the leader of the Labour party in Scotland was pointing to was the hollowness of the Scottish National party, which said that it wanted independence, said that it wanted it immediately, and now wants to postpone a referendum until 2010-11."
Cameron last night accused the prime minister of losing control of his party. In his second letter to the prime minister on the matter in 24 hours, he wrote: "Anyone comparing what you have claimed, and what Wendy Alexander has repeated this morning, will conclude that either you have been completely unclear and misleading in your replies to my questions, or you have lost control of your party - or perhaps, it is a combination of the two."
The furore came as a YouGov opinion poll put the Tories 26 points ahead of Labour, whose support fell to a record low of 23%.
Senior Labour sources in London indicated that Brown was furious with Alexander, who did not inform the prime minister before she issued a "bring it on" challenge to the SNP on Sunday. Alexander repeated this challenge yesterday when she told Scottish parliament that the SNP administration should act now. With most Labour backbenchers cheering her, she said: "The first minister has a statement next week on his programme for government. The question is simply: will he bring forward a referendum bill in next year's legislative programme next week?"
One senior Labour figure in London said: "Is Wendy Alexander damaged? Yes. Is Gordon Brown damaged? Yes. Is the Labour party damaged? Yes. Is Alex Salmond strengthened? Yes. Wendy did not tell Gordon about her announcement ... This is Wendy Alexander incorporated."
Salmond mocked Alexander for hastening Scottish independence. But he rejected her invitation to hold an immediate referendum and insisted his SNP administration would keep to its manifesto pledge to wait until 2010. "It is impossible for anyone outside the Labour party - and I think most people in it - to take the Labour party seriously after the last few days," he said.
If the bill is passed in Holyrood the Westminster parliament will face strong political, but not legal, pressure to pass legislation granting a referendum. Only Westminster can sanction referendums on Scotland's place in the UK.
There are signs that Brown's anger over this conflict has forced the Scottish Labour party to soften its stance on the forthcoming bill. Earlier this week, senior party officials implied that Scottish Labour could even vote for a referendum. Labour MSPs now insist privately that this means, at the very most, that they would abstain on the bill and could even vote against it if the wording of the referendum question was too imbalanced.
Scottish Labour MSPs publicly endorsed their leader's stance, however, and insisted there was no conflict between her challenge to the SNP and Brown's statements on Wednesday.
The Tories accused Labour of endangering the union. David Mundell, the shadow Scottish secretary, said: "Gordon Brown's persistent dithering is putting the union at risk."
Wendy Alexander and Gordon Brown agree on one point: Scotland should remain in the UK. But they disagree on whether, and when, a referendum on independence should be held. Brown believes it should not be discussed until the Calman commission, which is considering the future of the Scottish Parliament, has reported. Alexander believes an immediate referendum would wrongfoot Alex Salmond, the SNP leader, who wants to wait until 2010. Salmond hopes a successful SNP administration will increase support for independence, which one recent poll put at 19%.

ETO HISTORY WWII 86th INFANTRY DIVISION
The History of the 86th Infantry Division In World War II
By Richard A. Briggs
Printed by THE WESTERN RECORDER, Louisville, KY, USA, 1954
Dedicated to comrades of the U. S. 86th Infantry Division who spent
themselves selflessy and gloriously in the service of our country.
"I can think of no more fitting tribute to the valiant deeds of the men of
the 86th Division than to say that you accomplished what I expected and
had faith you would do; that you accomplished no more was because there
was nothing else to be done. I am indeed honored to have commanded the
Black Hawk Division in this engagement.
Major General, U. S. Army
Commanding General
This is the story, told as factually as possible, of the activities of the
US Army's Eighty-Sixth "Black Hawk" Infantry Division in World War II.
For eight years, the fighting record of the Black Hawks has been fading
into oblivion. The author has attempted in this volumn to bring to light
for future generations the part played by the Black Hawks in winning the
war. In so doing, he requests the indulgence of all of his former
comrades, as the length of time that has lapsed since the end of the war
has erased many memories and likewise official records of the division
Much of the information in this book originates from the various after
action reports, an other official classified documents in the office of
the Adjutant General Army Records Center. Without these documents this
book would have been impossible.
The author also wishes to acknowledge the assistance of all former members
of the Division who furnished material when requested. This list would be
large, but special recognition must be given to Maj. General Harris M. Melasky, our former Commanding General, who is still heart and soul a Black Hawk.
The author invites correspondence regarding the Black Hawk History, and has indicated a desire to see a permanent Black Hawk Division Association
formed, with an annual reunion in some central location in the states each year.
The book is dedicated to all former members of the Division who gave their all for the succes of its mission in Word War II. Composed almost entirely of selective service inductees, the unit became known as the "Kid Division", because of its youth. The average age of the entire division, officers and all, was only 22. In writing of an infantry division, far too many noble acts and deeds are overlooked, because the act dropped where some obscure doughboy fell. Many a battle was won when some infantryman fired one last round from his M-1 rifle as he fell in battle.
These are the acts that will never be recorded, as they fell with the individual that carried them through. As this book is read, many memories will come to light. Some of them will be pleasant, others will not. The purpose of this book is not fiction, nor is it to glorify any particular unit or individual. It attempts to tellonly the story of the Black Hawk Division, as documented from official army records.
The author of this book served as rifleman in the 86th Infantry Division for over two years. Joining the division at Camp Livingston and remaining with it thru the Philipines. After his discharge from the army in 1946, he studied Journalism at the University of Louisville, and until 1951 was the editor of a Kentucky newspaper. In 1951 he was appointed Postmaster at West Point, Kentucky, and since that time has served in that position.
At 1600 on April 5, General Melasky was notified by 15the Army, that the 86th Division had been assigned to the XVIII Airborne Corps, of the US 1st Army, and that the Division was to leave immediately to an assembly area in the First Army sector. All of the regiments were alerted and within a few hours were actually on the move into the Remagan Bridgehead.
By putting every available truck into use, the Black Hawks were rushed southward through Bonn, pass the Bonn Repple Depple, across the Rhine River on pontoons and up and over treacherous mountain trails to the new Division concentration area near Eibelshousen, where the Division CP was set up. The 86th Division passed to XVIII (A/B) Corps control at 2400 HRS.
April 5. The 341st Regiment CP was set up ut Kerscheid, and then later in the day at Mehren. The 342nd Infantry CP was at Obr. Dieten and the 343rd Infantry was at Dillenburg.
In early April, as the Allied armies poised for the last big offensive, Gen. Eisenhower listed the following order of battle for the First Army in the field.
VII Corps
1st Inf. Div.
3rd Armd. Div.
104th Inf. Div.

At 0530 General Pope radioed to General Melasky that the Task Force had just passed through the first of a series of road blocks known to be set up on the road to Ludenscheid.
A hand full of Germans defended the road block but our attached TD's quickly knocked them out of the war. As the Task Force advanced, the 332nd FA and 911th FA, which were given direct support, kept a barrage falling in front of the troops which was controlled by forward observers. Black Hawk infantrymen passed continously dead and wounded Germans lining the road, who had felt the effect of our artillery.
At 1100 the infantrymen reached the outskirts of Ludenscheid, which lay around a high hill from the present position of the Task Force. General Pope halted the column and deployed the three rifle companies in a direct attack toward the city. Co. K. and Co. L were to attack along the main road into town while Co. I was to go over the wooded hill and give the companies approaching up the road direct fire support.
A large factory was situated at the near end of town and soon as the Task Force started around the end of the hill the enemy turned every thing he had loose on the doughboys. Co. K suffered heavy casualties but managed to countinue to advance into the face of the enemy. After a half hour advance units of Cos. K and L were cleaning up the pockets of resistance within the factory site. It developed that numerous Russian slave laborers were working in this factory, and one of them braved the German MG bullets to pass out dry and warm socks, which were stored in the warehouse, to the Black Hawk troops. Co. K still met heavy resistance but Co. L, which was now entering the buildings along the north side of the town, found themselves behind the enemy, and succeded in knocking out several 88 crews.
Meanwhile Co. I, advancing over the wooded hill on the left flank of the Task Force, ran into a hotbed of MG nests on the hill overlooking the town. Pfc. Cleo Parsons, Quanah, Texas, with utter disregard for his own safety, left protective cover and single-handedly attacked a MG nest which had his company pinned down and neutralized the position. Although wounded in the fray, he remained with his company and continued to spark its advance. Meantime a few yards away, Lt. John F. Seaton, in attacking another enemy position, fell mortally wounded when struck by an enemy shell.
During the theigt of the battle, General Pope receivd the admiration of all of his men by personally leading the rifle companies through the various phases of the engagement. At 1645, after an extended negotiation, the city finally subdued to the superior Black Hawk forces and several hundred PW's were captured, including a detachment of SS troops, which provided plenty of souvenirs for those inclined toward them. The 3rd Bn.,
342nd Inf. then mopped up several points of resistance within the city and set up a defense line for the night.
Meanwhile the 343rd Infantry, which was on the offensive east of Ludenscheid, formed a Task Force whose mission it was to swing north and take the high ground south of Osterich. This Task Force was composed of the 3rd Bn., 343rd Inf., and elements of the 740th Tank Bn., and 644 TD Bn. Upon reaching the town of Huinghausen, forward elements of the Task Force were pinned down by artillery and 20 mm flak. Upon reconnaissance it was discovered that the enemy held all of the dominating ground and movement was impossible. For three hours the 3rd Bn., 343rd Inf. was pinned down with any sort defense impossible due to the intensity of the fire from the flak guns. After another two hours of pounding the German positions with heavy artillery from the 911th FA Bn., the rifle companies were able to advance and late in the afternoon Huinghausen fell to the Battalion and over 1,000 prisoners were taken by the force.
During a night attack that evening, Pfc. Richard M. Mapes went into an artillery barrage and advanced 75 yards in front of this company to set up his weapon and open devestating fire upon the enemy. Pfc. Laureen A. Willison, undaunted by the heavy barrage he had been through, stayed with his MG and continued the attack although he had been wounded twice.
Also in the 343rd Inf. sector the enemy offered probably his strongest thrust of the day against the 2nd Bn. near Herscheid. Heavy SA und AW weapons were unleashed against the troops and at 1100 the 2nd Bn. fought off a well organized counter attack, which was well supported. The 2nd Bn., 343rd Inf. took 1600 prisoners during the day, in repulsing two attacks, one led by 6 Tiger Tanks and a company of grenadiers.
Plattenburg ("Plettenberg") fell to the 1st Bn., 343rd Inf. during the day. S/Sgt. Benj. Alexander, Brooklyn, N. Y., Co. A platoon leader, distinghuished himself in this engagement by rushing across an open field to assist two wounded men when no aid men were available.
At dark, the 343rd Inf. Reported to General Melasky an advance of 3000 meters during the day, and the capture of Plattenburg, Herscheid and Huinghausen.
The 341st Infantry, which was committed to action under the 86th Division control in the Ruhr for the first time on April 13, also was on the attack, and things were just as hot in its area as it was for the 343rd and 342nd.
The 341st mission was to advance along the main road net in the division zone of advance to the "Stop Line" near Hagen. After being held in tactical reserve at Helberhausen, the 341st was motorized and moved out at 0600. The 2nd Bn., 341st Infantry were placed in the point of the attack with the Cannon Co., 341st Inf. attached. At 1200 the general attack started with a road block near Brugge being the first objective to fall.
At 1600 the force was brought to a halt by small arms and panzerfaust fire, with several vehicles being knocked out with severe casualties. The 2nd Bn. was able to regain the offense after a slight delay and continued to gain until the battalion reached Priorie ("Priorei").
At Priorie, the 341st ran into one the well-established flak emplacements which were scattered throughout the Ruhr; such as at Bonzel and Seigen ("Siegen"). The entire 2nd Bn. was pinned down for a lengthy period and Cannon Co., 341st attempted to come to their assistance. A panzerfaust hit one personnel carrier killing four men and wounding ten others. Pfc. Rudolph A. Kovic, of Pittsburg, was a crewman on a Cannon Co. gun and his crew was subject to intense fire from a nearby house. On his own initiative he secured a bazooka and advanced to within 50 yards of the house and destroved it, capturing 18 Germans.
When Co. F. 341st Inf. was halted by the heavy opposition near Priorie. Pfc. Lynwood B. King, Jr., of Savannah, Ga., received severe flesh wounds. Nevertheless he refused medical assistance and continued to fight with the platoon until the enemy strong point was reduced. By 1800 the enemy forces were in rout at Priorie and the 2nd Bn., 341st continued the attack and at 2400 on April 13, the Black Hawk units were drawing up on the outskirts of the huge industrial city of Hagen, where the 341st set up a perimeter defense.
During the day, Generals Eisenhower, Bradley and Hodges visited the 341st Regiment CP at Attendorn.
After the ordeal the 2nd Bn., 341st had been through the previous day in advancing to the outskirts of Hagen, it was relieved at 0600 by the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the 341st Inf. and the 2nd Bn. went into regimental reserve. Col. Henry Hunt then brought his 341st Inf. CP forward and set up in the outskirts of Hagen, actually forward of the Battalions CP in order to better direct the battle for Hagen. With the 341st given the mission to take the entire city of Hagen, Col. Hunt's regiment attacked with the 1st Bn. on the left and the 3nd Bn. on the right, with the 2nd Bn. in close support. At 1130 the attacking forces reported as having advanced to within sight of the center of town. At 1400 leading elements of the 1st abreast after having met heavy opposition. In the center of town, one 341st Inf. jeep driver found a bucket of paint and a brush and immediately inscribed on his jeep,
"The Hagen Hearst". As the 3nd Bn. 341st combed high ground to the south of Hagen, Co. Hunt finally had to move his CP about 500 yards after it heaving been harassed by sniper fire all day.
The Black Hawk Division was adcancing so rapidly at this stage of the Ruhr engagement, that it was hard to tell where the front lines were. On April 14, General Gjelsteen, 86th Division artillery commander, his aide and four enlisted men were captured by a German unit near Ludenscheid, as Division Headquarters moved up from Attendorn. The group was taken to the enemy's rear and held through the night, but an attacking force from the 99th Division liberated them the following morning. From this time on Division Headquarters was more careful with their flanks and rear security.
Pvt. Charles E. Blankenship also found himself behind the German lines on his date, and much to his surprise right in the center of a German bivouac area. Alone he fast talked 89 Krauts into surrendering, had them strip their weapons of vital parts, and marched them back to our lines and turned them over to his Battalion PW cage.
North of Ludenscheid, Lt. Warren W. Hanson was leading a volunteer patrol to seek enemy 88 positions. In doing his own reconnaissance, Lt. Hanson bumped into three SS troopers who called for his surrender. Instead Lt. Hanson opened fire killing two of them and wounding the other, quickly taking advantage of the situation, he rushed for-ward into the artillery emplacement and captured the 88 crew and the gun intact.
Pfc. Wilmoth C. Qualls, of the 332nd FA Bn., was another who found himself behind enemy lines near Priorie and managed to eliminate two flak guns and one mortar position single handed.
While on a scouting patrol, armed only with a bazooka, Lt. Willie R. Jones, Co. D, 341st, stumbled into a German unit and using his bazooka as pursuasion, captured 45 prisoners.
As the 341st Regiment captured Hagen, the 343rd Inf. advanced 7,000 yards and took 1,600 prisoners in an advance over high ground protecting Hagen flank.
The 342nd Inf., was recommitted and went on the attack near Hohenlimburg, with the mission of securing that city and adjoining Latmathe (Letmathe).
The regiment attacked at 0530 north of Ludenscheid and captured a series of small towns such as Warbollen, Vorth, Herde, Osmocke, Barenstein, Kleinhammer, Rutlenponi, Veise, Schonebecke, Vogelsing, Augustenthal, Rarin and Surin, before pulling up at the outskirts of Hohenlimburg at 1600.
As the 1st Bn. and 2nd Bn. of the 342nd attacked Hohenlimburg, the 3rd Bn. objective was Latmathe (Letmathe) on the Lenne River. At the small crossroad town of Lahmenhausen, Major Hankins and Sgt. Joe Umstetter, of the 342nd Inf. boldly walked into the woods and came across an entire German repple depple, and 5 replacement companies, which they talked into surrending intact, including the Battalion Comander. Maj. Hankins and Sgt. Umstetter then marched the entire column back to our lines under the white flag, which made a weird sight indeed, one thousand more or less Germans coming across the front lines led by two Americans.
Hulscheid fell to the 1st Bn., 342nd Inf. at 1000 and Winklm fell to the 2nd Bn. at 1800. The 3rd Bn. was pinned down right on the hill above Latmathe at 1945, when ordered to pull back 500 yards and set up defense for the night.
The 343rd Infantry continued to advanced on the right and captured over 1,600 PW's during the day and advanced 7,000 yards before going in defensive positions for the night overlooking the Ruhr valley.
When the 86th Division commenced its drive through the Ruhr Pocket from the south, XVII A/B Corps had given it a stop line, at the Ruhr River on the north and the Lenne River on the east, and orders were not to advance or fire beyound these rivers in order to control the Black Hawk advance and prevent any chance of the First Army firing on Ninth Army units which held a defense line somewhere north of the Ruhr River. As Black Hawk units approached the river, Corps Headquarters ordered all artillery firing ceased to prevent any possibility of the two American armies failing to identify each other and thus firing on each other.
As the three Black Hawk regiments approached the Ruhr and Lenne River the task of advancing increased as German units on the opposite bank of those rivers fired freely at the 86th Div. units, which were prevented by the Stop Line order form returning fire.
On the morning of April 15, the 341st Regiment continued its attack at 0630 with the 1st ans 3rd Bns. abreast. The 1st Bn. was subjected to intense artillery fire but at 1055 reached its objective and set up OP's along the Ruhr River, facing the Ninth Army, known to be only a few miles away. Meanwhile elements of the 3rd Bn., 341st Inf., (*continued a slow advance northwestward and reached the banks of the Lenne River, just upstream from its confluence,with the Ruhr at 1730. The 3rd Bn. was pinned down near Halden for a lengthy period by artillery fire directed from the opposite bank of the Lenne. The 2nd Bn., 341st Inf. set up its base of operations at Hurdsdieck and began a search for enemy artillery positions which were hindering the advance of the other two regiments of the 86th Div.
At 1130, April 15, the 1st Bn., 341st Infantry, sent a patrol across the Ruhr River and made contact with Co. C, 314th Infantry, of the 79th Infantry Division of our Ninth Army, which was in defensive position north of the Ruhr River. Once liaison had been made with the Ninth Army, the 86th Div. stop line was lifted and the Black Hawks ordered to press the attack until the final capitulation of all German resistance in the Ruhr had been accomplished.
The 342nd Infantry also continued its advance on April 15, with its First and Second Battalions pressing on Hohenlimburg, industrial city near the Lenne River. The 2nd Bn., 342 Inf. entered Hohenlimburg at 1300 and after an afternoon of house to house fighting, secured the city at 1730. The 1st Bn. then drew up to the banks of the Lenne River and set up defense for the night. The 3rd Bn., 342nd Inf. was assigned the mission of taking Lathmathe (Letmathe), another smaller industrial city near Hohenlimburg.
This Batallion was subjected to heavy artillery fire on the hill above the town, and then in a flanking movement instigated during the course of the attack, captured the city in late afternoon. The tacking of Latmathe was featured by house to house fighting, and the final objective was reached when Pfc. Brownie Shoultz, Co. H-342nd Inf. surprised a MG nest and removing his 30 calibre heavy machine gun from the tri-pod attacked its stunned occupants.
At the edge of Latmathe Black Hawk doughboys found part evidence of what made life so miserable for them the past few days. The Jerry had in operation a battery of 16-inch naval gun, evidently made for some battleship, set up and in operation against our ground troops.
Also captured at Latmathe was a Battalion of Railway Artillery guns. The 342nd Inf. took over 10,000 prisoners besides large quantities of war loot this day.

EPA Recognizes the University of Minnesota, Morris for Leading Green Power Use
Posted by Jenna Ray on Monday, Nov. 4, 2013
The University of Minnesota, Morris announced today that it appears as No. 28 on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Top 30 On-site list of the largest green power users. Morris is using more than five million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which is enough green power to meet 58 percent of the university's electricity use. Morris is generating green power from several on-site renewable energy systems as well. This demonstrates a proactive choice to switch away from traditional sources of electricity generation and support cleaner renewable energy alternatives.
"This is a huge honor, and we are proud to be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency," said Lowell Rasmussen, vice chancellor for finance and facilities. "Purchasing green power helps our university become more sustainable while also sending a message to others across the U.S. that supporting clean sources of electricity is a sound business decision and an important choice in reducing climate risk."
Green power is defined as electricity generated from environmentally preferable renewable resources such as wind, solar, geothermal, biogas, eligible biomass, and low-impact hydro. Generating on-site green power helps accelerate the development of new renewable energy capacity nationwide and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector.
"We congratulate the University of Minnesota, Morris for using renewable energy and taking a leadership position on the environment," said Blaine Collison, director of EPA's Green Power Partnership. "The University of Minnesota, Morris's impressive green power commitment helps to reduce carbon pollution and provides an excellent example for other colleges and universities."
According to the U.S. EPA, Morris's green power generation of more than 5 million kWh is equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of more than 700 passenger vehicles per year, or the CO2 emissions from the electricity use of more than 500 average American homes annually.
The EPA recognition is only the latest of Morris's environmental achievements. Earlier this year, the school was included in both The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges and Sierra magazine's Top 40 "Cool Schools" list. Morris also opened its first environmentally conscious living and learning facility, the Green Prairie Community, in August.
About University of Minnesota, Morris
Through personal and academic discovery, the University of Minnesota, Morris provides opportunities for students to grow intellectually, engage in community, experience environmental stewardship and celebrate diversity. A renewable and sustainable educational experience, Morris prepares graduates for careers, for advanced degrees, for lifelong learning, for work world flexibility in the future, and for global citizenship.

About EPA's Green Power Partnership
The Green Power Partnership is a voluntary program that encourages organizations to buy green power as a way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with electricity use. The Partnership currently has more than 1,500 Partner organizations voluntarily purchasing billions of kilowatt-hours of green power annually. Partners include a wide variety of leading organizations such as Fortune 500® companies small and medium sized businesses local, state, and federal governments and colleges and universities.

Man Behind @HiddenCash Pays For Damage To Whittier Park
Photo Credit: Shutterstock
WHITTIER, Calif. (AP) — When the man with the Twitter handle @HiddenCash moved his upscale scavenger hunt to Whittier, a thousand people trampled through Penn Park seeking free money.
Now Jason Buzi, the Bay Area real estate investor behind the cash giveaways, says he will pay for the damage.
KNBC-TV reported Tuesday that Buzi has agreed to send the city of Whittier $5,000 to cover the cost of repairs at the park.
City Manager Jeff Collier says cash hunters trampled on plants, uprooted a newly planted tree, tore apart sprinkler heads and broke fences.
Collier says Buzi was apologetic and Whittier appreciates his gesture.
Via Twitter, Buzi has directed people to envelopes with $50 and $100 inside them in San Francisco and across Southern California in recent months.

Cryptanalysis prize
23 January 2009
Inspired by Dan Bernstein's CubeHash prizes, we offer a prize for the most interesting Keccak cryptanalysis. The results must be publicly available on an URL that is sent to
keccak -at-
noekeon -dot-
org before February 23, 2009 at 12:00 GMT+1. We reserve the right to extend this deadline in the absence of interesting results. Otherwise, the winner will be announced during the Rump session of the first SHA-3 candidate conference in Leuven.
Who wins the prize will be decided by consensus in the Keccak team. Similar to Dan Bernstein, we will use a system of points. Some hints:
- Innovative ideas get more points than incremental results or applying standard techniques;
- For attacks with innovations that are comparable, the earlier ones get more points;
- Cryptanalysis or attack techniques applicable to a wider range of valid parameters r, c get more points (see the specifications for the definition of valid parameters);
- Larger Keccak-f width gets more points;
- Larger capacity gets more points;
- Attacks on reduced-round versions are allowed but more rounds get more points.
We wanted to offer a prize which has a cultural dimension and is likely to appeal to the typical cryptanalyst. This forced us to the choice we have made. The prize is a case with 24 bottles of 33cl Trappist beers from all 6 recognized Trappist breweries in Belgium. It includes bottles of Westmalle Dubbel, Westmalle Tripel, Chimay bleue, Chimay rouge, Chimay blanche, Rochefort 8, Rochefort 10, Orval, Achel Blond, Achel Bruin and probably the most hard to get beer in the world: the mythical Westvleteren 12°.
In case there is a winner by the first SHA-3 candidate conference and she/he/they are present, we'll bring the case to Leuven and hand it over there. Otherwise, we'll do our best to bring the case and the winners together. Once the winner is known there is no hurry as the expiry dates on most of the bottles are years from now.

State school board repeals online graduation requirements
Sugar City, Idaho - The State Board of Education has repealed several pending education rules.
This comes following the rejection of Student's Come First reform laws props 1, 2 and 3.
On Monday, the board met together to cancel the requirement for students to complete at least two online courses before graduation.
Each school district can decide for themselves how much technology they want to bring into the classroom. But that doesn't mean online requirements will disappear.
State Education Superintendent Tom Luna said he wants to make sure students are, "prepared to go onto post-secondary education and the workforce, which includes the skills to learn and work in a digital environment. After the vote Nov. 6, we will need to come at this with a different process and through a different approach."
"I thought that was a good thing for the State Board of Education to do," said Sugar Salem Superintendent Alan Dunn.
His district has had a strong online education program for three years.
It would seem he would be upset about less strict guidelines when it comes to technology, but instead Dunn said he's standing by the change and here's why.
"I think that it should be the responsibility of the local board of education to make that decision of whether or not students are required to have one or more online classes," said Dunn.
As for the remainder of this school year, Dunn said Sugar Salem will continue with it's required online classes.
They don't have a teacher to take on that many students, if they did make a change.
Next year may be a different story though.
Dunn said there will be another proposal for at least one mandatory online credit, but now it's all up to the local board to decide.
"The state is no longer requiring two credits, so we'll just have to see what our board of education says," said Dunn.
Also Monday, the State Board of Education approved the repeal of a rule to incorporate parent and principal input as part of teacher evaluations.
The board will meet again Tuesday to discuss teacher certification.

Detailed Accident Report
Submitted By: Scott Schmidt, GNFAC
Place: Mt. Abundance, north of Cooke City
State: MT
Country: USA
Fatalities: 2
Summary: 3 snowmobilers caught, 2 buried and killed
SNIPPIT From 02/18/02 Forecast Advisory;
Official Report will be posted when available.
Ron and Doug went to Cooke City to investigate the avalanche that claimed the lives of two
snowmobilers on Saturday. Five riders were playing on the south side of Mount
Abundance when they triggered the slide. Two of the riders were able to turn their sleds
and escaped to the side of the flow. Of the three that where caught, one was deposited on
the surface with a broken nose, the other two were completely buried. The buried victims
were not wearing avalanche transceivers, leaving the party no choice but to send someone
to alert Search and Rescue. Approximately 80 people, comprised of the organized search
party and people riding in the area, started probing the debris while they waited the arrival
of avalanche search dogs. Once on scene, the dogs quickly located the victims, who were
buried 2-3 feet deep.
The avalanche released on a weak layer of well-developed, faceted snow sitting on an ice
crust. This weak sandwich, which formed on south facing slopes in the Cooke City
Mountains back in early January, is the same layer that was responsible for the avalanche
that injured a Billings man on January 27th. The slope that avalanche Saturday had an
average slope angle of 34 degrees, increasing to 38 degrees at the crown line. The total
fracture was 300 feet across and the avalanche ran 600 vertical feet. Giving good visibility,
Ron and Doug got a chance to look around and only saw the remains of one other
avalanche that released on a south-facing slope last week. They also saw tracks from a
sledder who punched to the top of a south-facing slope right next to three chutes that slid
on February 2nd. This is a shining example of the problem associated with the isolated
weak layers in the southern mountains. People are getting after it on all aspects without
triggering avalanches. As a result they grow confident and forget to be on their avalanche
guard. Some south facing slopes around Cooke City are locked and loaded to avalanche.
Some aren?t. The same applies to northeast facing slopes in the Lionhead area where a
layer of surface hoar, buried approximately 2-3 feet below the surface, is still a concern.
This means it is possible, but not probable, you?ll trigger and avalanche on any given slope.
For today, I consider the avalanche danger to be MODERATE all slopes steeper than 35
degrees and LOW on less steep terrain in the southern mountains.
Two snowmobilers killed in avalanche near Cooke City
By the Associated Press
BOZEMAN (AP) - A group of "high-marking" snowmobilers triggered an
avalanche Saturday morning near Cooke City that trapped three men,
killing two, Park County officials said.
Deputy Coroner Larry McKee said the group of five snowmobilers were
"high-marking," which involves riding up a slope as far as possible
before being forced to turn around.
McKee said that was definitely the cause of the avalanche, which traveled
approximately 1,000 feet down the south side of the mountain, taking the
three snowmobilers with it.
One man was able to dig his way out of the slide. The names and
hometowns of the victims were not released Saturday night, but
Undersheriff Scott Hamilton said both victims were from Montana.
Park County Search and Rescue, the Forest Service and the Park Service
responded to the Wolverine Pass area north of Yellowstone National
Park at approximately 11 a.m., McKee said. The slide occurred about an
hour earlier.
None of the snowmobilers were carrying transceivers, and it took
searchers with probes and dog teams until about 3 p.m. to recover the
One of the bodies was found near the bottom of the avalanche, said Bill
Blackford, a volunteer with Search and Rescue and Cooke City
Emergency Medical Services. The other body was located behind a tree.
Blackford said the avalanche was a large one, with "chunks of snow
bigger than refrigerators." The victims were buried at least 4 feet under
the surface.

MANILA, Philippines -- Local oil firms churned out another fuel price hike Tuesday, increasing product prices by up to P0.70 a liter.
At past midnight, major oil firms Pilipinas Shell and Chevron Philippines (formerly Caltex) announced identical price increases on their respective petroleum products.
According to the two companies' advisories, their adjustments took effect at 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Under the latest hike, the price of unleaded gasoline was raised by P0.60 a liter; regular gasoline by P0.70 a liter; kerosene by P0.40 a liter and diesel by P0.25 a liter.
Holy Tuesday's price hike was the fourth consecutive, sweeping increase on the part of the oil firms since the last week of March.
Petron Corp., the other remaining major oil firm, said through spokesperson Raffy Ledesma that it has yet to make an advisory for the week.
Shell, Petron, and Chevron comprise the so-called "Big Three" oil firms which account for over 70 percent of petroleum products in the local market.
Meanwhile, other oil firms, particularly the independent players, are expected to follow suit with a price hike later this week.
Bobby Kanapi, Shell spokesman, said the domestic hike was made to reflect rising costs in international products, particularly with ethanol and coconut methyl ester (CME). Both are known additives to fuel.
The hike turned out to be added "penitence" for consumers, who have been dealing with high pump prices all year. Figures showed that since January, unleaded gasoline prices have been raised 13 times; diesel, 11 times and kerosene, 14 times.
Fuel products in Metro Manila are now averaging as follows: unleaded, P57 a liter; diesel, P48 a liter; and kerosene, P56.
In comparison, the average pump prices at the beginning of the year were P48.50 a liter for unleaded; P38 a liter for diesel; and P46.50 a liter for kerosene.
MANILA, Philippines -- Local oil firms churned out another fuel price hike Tuesday, increasing product prices by up to P0.70 a liter.

HAMPSTEAD – The Hampstead School Board voted to scrap the proposed two-lane, hard topped access road to the middle school and charged the Facilities Committee with exploring all suggested options and returning to the board with a new proposal.
The board made it clear it wants a single lane, gravel, gated emergency access road, which is what was initially asked for by Fire and Police.
The board and Assistant Superintendent Roxanne Wilson reviewed the input received from a public forum, past discussions and the recent Facilities Committee meeting. Wilson said the consensus is that the focus for the project should be returned to the original intent – to develop the one-lane gravel, gated emergency access roadway.
She said there are no specifics for the single lane option and a solid cost estimate will have to be sought. It was pointed out that at no time has anyone from the public spoken in favor of a two-lane, paved road.
The board went further, suggesting that the various options that have surfaced from abutters and the general public should be examined. The board wants the administration and Facilities Committee to explore all options and come up with a new plan that best meets the needs and is most cost effective.
Among the options to be looked at are possible right-of-way accesses across private land between the school and Agawam, and contact with the Catholic Diocese about using the road that goes across its land. The board does not know if these options can be properly explored and a plan for the eventual proposal engineered in time for this year's warrant article.
Member Jason Cipriano expressed concern over a delay in moving forward with an emergency access roadway from a safety standpoint. However, it was pointed out there have been no emergencies over the life of the school building without a second emergency access, and it is important to explore all alternatives and get a plan developed that best suits the need.
The board unanimously approved declining to accept the current proposal for the two-lane roadway and charged the Facilities Committee with exploring all options and returning with a new engineered plan with costs.
The board made clear that if that can be done in time to put in a warrant article for the March Town Meeting, that is its preference, but they wanted all options explored for a single-lane gravel, gated emergency access road.
Two-Lane Paved Emergency Access Road Off the Table
