Some Tips for a Safe Spring Break
Spring Break is usually a time for fun, but we always have to be careful. The Muskingum University Police Department is urging students and other members of the university community to take a few minutes and think about the importance of personal safety. Please take a moment to read the suggestions below, as they could save your life.
As you travel
Make sure you are either in possession of or track your baggage and personal belongings at all times.
Make sure someone at home has a copy of your travel itinerary.
Before you go out
If you are attending a ticketed event, like a concert, movie, dance or game, make sure someone at home has basic details such as where you are seated, whom you are with and what time you plan to return. If any incident does occur, they will know how to locate you to be sure you are ok.
Do not plan on going to a crowded event alone. You should always have at least one other person looking out for you. A helping hand if you fall or become injured can mean the difference between life and death.
Staying in the middle of an active crowd, or at the stage, can get very hot and uncomfortable, so drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids to stay hydrated. This can prevent overheating and passing out if things get really unbearable.
Dress for fun and safety
Wearing something bright makes you recognizable so friends can locate you easier.
Always keep your ID, any special medical information, and a cell phone with you.
Leave behind dangerous accessories like spikes and chains, as well as long jewelry and purses that can become tangled and cause injuries.
Wear comfortable footwear, and make sure the laces are tied so you will not trip and fall. If you lose your shoes or other belongings in an emergency, do not stop to get them. Getting knocked down or trying to move against a crowd is the last thing you want to happen.
The Setting
When you get inside an event, keep track of where the exits are located. In an emergency, the closest exit might not always be the best one to use. Be aware of your surroundings - the location of first aid stations, the presence of staff, crowd behavior, and what the weather conditions are like.
Know what you are standing on. Wet, muddy and uneven surfaces can be slippery or dangerous in a moving crowd. Broken bottles, cans, and other trash can also be very hazardous.
The momentum of a moving crowd can change - walking down stairs, escalators, and hills – can cause you to trip, fall and be injured.
Do not stand near or climb on temporary structures. These could collapse and fall.
If you can help it, do not be the first in line waiting for the doors to open. This spot can be dangerous if there is a delay and an anxious crowd starts to push forward.
Huge moving crowds
A surge generates an incredible amount of energy. Some people have compared it to a locomotive or ship: once it gets going, it is almost impossible to stop. If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not stand still or sit down because you can easily be injured. Keep your legs moving in the direction of the crowd, and try getting to the outside where the flow is weaker.
The last thing you want to do is fall. If you do, get up quickly. If you cannot get up, get someone to pull you back up. This is when having a friend nearby can be a lifesaver.
If you cannot get up, keep moving by crawling in the direction of the crowd. If that is not possible, your last resort is to ball up and cover your head.
The worst place in a surge is at the very front of the crowd against an immovable object, like a fence or stage barricade. It may be tempting to make your way up close to where the action is on stage; but it is smart to stay away. Crowd pressure here can build up quickly and be deadly. People in back will have no idea what is happening up front.
At Sporting Events
Some of the worst crowd disasters happen at sporting events where overselling, poor management, frenzied fans, and festival seating all create problems.
Experts say when you go to a game, watch from a seat - not the aisles or walkways where foot traffic flows. Keep away from fences, boards, or barricades where there is no escape if fans behind try to rush the field or court.
Be aware of what is going on around you, such as: crowd behavior, what the score is, and how much time is remaining. It might be smart to leave a few minutes early to avoid the reaction of frenzied fans.
Have a great Spring Break and return safe!

Carshalton Athletic midfielder Jordan Wilson is looking forward to the visit of promotion-chasing Kingstonian on Saturday despite the vast difference in each club's current form.
The Robins go into the Ryman Premier League derby off the back of three defeats, the latest coming after extra time against Merstham in the Surrey Senior Cup on Tuesday, while the visitors have only lost two of their last 11 league games.
"I'm looking forward to the game and going into it with a positive outlook," said Wilson.
"We must work on cutting out individual mistakes as they are costing us games at the moment, but there is a good bond within our dressing room and we will all be striving to get something against tough opposition."
Wilson and his team-mates have also struggled to outscore opponents this season, with strikes by Tommy Bradford and Quincy Rowe not enough in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat, but the versatile midfielder was encouraged by the amount of chances he and his team-mates created.
"We created a lot of openings on Tuesday and should have scored more than just two," Wilson added.
"If we can discover our goalscoring touch, and we do have players here who can get them, then I believe we can give anyone in this league a fright."
Robins boss Ian Hazel is counting the cost of Tuesday's extra time battle as Rowe, Bobby Price and Charlie McCarthy all picked up knocks, which may limit his defensive options.
On-loan Colchester United keeper Shaun Phillips has signed on for another month however.

Police were called at 11.22 am with a woman in need of ambulance treatment after being cut out of the vehicle by firefighters.
A spokesperson said: "Fire and ambulance were called, she's been cut out, and the road was totally blocked."
There was a road closure at the junction of the road to Stithians, and a serious collision investigation unit was sent to the scene.

Retail Highfliers Face Headwinds
One question on Wall Street's mind these days is the strength of the consumer and whether the retail sector can continue its outperformance in 2013.
The SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT) had a solid 2012, up 19%, compared with a 13% gain for the S&P 500. It wasn't looking good for XRT when shares fell 6.3% from Dec. 19 to Dec. 27, but it showed supporting action at its 200-day simple moving average, and volume has been strong during its recent rally. It's back to within 4% of its 52-week high....477 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

In every economic downturn, corporations shed employees to shave costs. And in every economic downturn, many of those let-go employees make lemons out of lemonade by starting that small business they've always dreamed of operating, whether it involves doing what they were doing as an employee or trying something entirely different.
Like all small-business owners, newbies need to start off on the right foot by avoiding legal, tax and financial problems that too often trip up the freshly self-employed. Here are five tips for making your launch successful.
Operating as a sole proprietor costs no money because you don't have to pay to create corporate documents and tax returns. Whether you should continue to operate as a sole proprietor, however, depends on your business and personal risk tolerance.
"We always strongly urge people to set up a corporation because it gives you some legal protection," says Don Mazzella, chief operating officer and publisher at Information Strategies Inc., a Ridgefield, N.J., provider of publications for small businesses. "You'd be suprised at the liability you can engender when you set yourself up as a business owner. People may come at you with litigation or try to dun you for bills. If nothing else, it protects your personal credit rating."
But Williams isn't convinced a corporate entity is necessary for everyone. "I wouldn't say you should run out and form a corporate entity until you know you can be in business for yourself," he says. "It's expensive, but it's also a waste in both time and money. Once you know you can be successful, if you're doing consulting work and are truly the sole proprietor of your company, staying a sole proprietorship is probably best. If there's more than one person with capital involved -- whether that's cash or sweat equity -- form an entity that spells out how much is owned, who is responsible for what, and whether taxes should be paid at the corporate or individual level."
Cost shouldn't be the driving factor in structuring your business. "Many online sources allow you to create a corporate entity for just a few hundred dollars," says Allen Bostrom, CPA, president and CEO of Universal Accounting Center in Salt Lake City, which trains accountants, tax preparers and bookkeepers. "You just put in your information, and they'll create templates." Just a few are Legalzoom.com, The Company Corp., SCORE and Incfile.com.

Commodity markets declined early Monday morning in response to investor concerns about the global financial situation. A proposed deal to alleviate the economic crisis in Cyprus (which has been caught up in the Greek situation) includes a direct levy upon the savings accounts of Cypriot citizens. Investors worry about the precedent this would set for governments everywhere, so they are apparently reducing their holdings in global financial and commodity markets. However, corn futures ended the day slightly higher on surprisingly good export inspection numbers. May corn rose 3.0 cents to $720.0/bushel at its Monday afternoon close, while December gained 0.25 cent to $5.62.
The idea that governments and institutions could directly tap consumer accounts with financial institutions, as implied by the proposed Cyprus bailout deal, sent the financial markets lower Monday morning. The equity markets led the way downward, with most commodities following. Soybean futures certainly were not immune to the pressure, despite news that frost may have diminished the yield potential of some Argentine bean fields over the weekend. Talk of diminished demand did not help the situation. May soybeans sank 16.5 cents to $14.095/bushel at its settlement Tuesday afternoon, while May soyoil skidded 0.23 cents to 49.68 cents/pound, while May meal slumped $5.5 to $413.3/ton.
Wheat futures also declined in reaction to the uncertainty created by the proposal to directly levy Cypriot consumer savings accounts Monday morning. Wire service sources also cited the improved precipitation received by larger areas of the Southern Plains lately, as well as a recent forecast for large global wheat production this year. May CBOT wheat futures dropped 10.25 cents to $7.1275/bushel as trading wound down Monday, while May KCBT wheat lost 8.0 cents to $7.4425, and May MGE futures slid 7.5 cents to $7.8875.
Cattle futures also reacted poorly to talk of governments directly accessing consumer accounts for funds (as implied by the proposed Cyprus debt deal) Monday morning. However, most contracts bounced from early lows, possibly due to traders hopes for seasonal cash strength. The fact that market-ready cattle supplies are probably at their annual lows may have boosted the market as well, especially if grocers buy beef aggressively as they gear up for grilling season. April cattle rose 0.27 cents to 126.05 cents/pound at its Monday close, while August gained 0.05 cents to 122.57. Meanwhile, April feeder cattle climbed 0.30 cents to 139.40 cents/pound, and August edged 0.20 cents higher to 148.22.
Hog futures dropped as expected in concert with the other financial and commodity markets in reaction to the Cyprus bailout proposal. The general financial market decline apparently caused swine traders to forget the big Friday afternoon surge in pork cutout values, as well as talk that cash prices were firming Monday. April hogs lost 0.27 cents to 79.40 cents/pound late Monday afternoon, while June dipped 0.37 cents to 88.80.

Former Steelers OC Bruce Arians will be new Colts OC
Not sure how I feel about this I don't know any Steelers fan that likes him
Then again its not Cam Cameron either so that's a plus.
He was Manning's 1st QB coach though.
Interesting choice. I think he was Peyton's QB coach when he first came into the league right?
I don't think it is a bad hire. The Colts certainly could have done much worse IMO.
I'm kinda surprised the Colts hired him so quick. I guess Pagano already knows exactly who he wants.

I believe he was the QB coach during Peytons rookie year.
So much for his supposed retirement. He was probably forced out at Pittsburgh because they passed the ball too much which is ridiculous given that the Steelers biggest strength is their QB and WRs. This is a great hire for the Colts. I think the staff that has been assembled is a big upgrade over Caldwells staff.
No, I meant that he was criticized unfairly in Pittsburgh because of his pass heavy offense given their traditional ground and pound roots. I was saying that Arians simply was playing to Pittsburgh's strength and that is their passing game. Mendenhall is a good tailback but their run blocking was horrific last year.
I will just add this here.
Tomlin meets with Caldwell. Caldwell as OC would be....interesting.
Yes he was Peyton's QB coach his rookie year. OC for the Steelers 2007-2011 and it's rumored he was forced out, which led to an early retirement.
I like the hire, we'll see how it works out
Big Ben is the only reason he wasn't fired the last few years. Big Ben really liked him.
Last edited by pacer4ever; 01-28-2012 at 05:16 PM.
Seems to make since with Andrew Luck coming in, too.
Lovie Smith is said to be trying to hire Clyde Christensen. Colts want to keep him from what I have read.
Lovie Smith wanted Christensen for his qb coach/passing game coordinator from the moment the position was created. We'll see what unfolds
vaughn mcclure Clyde Christensen wanted to stay in Indy as the OC. With Colts set to hire Bruce Arians, Christensen should be headed to Bears.
Bears beat writer
I thought I read Christensen would stay as WR coach?
I like Clyde I am on board with the hire if it happens he is better than Martz(at this point in his career).
Colts have decided not to retain CC according to Colts board. Another sign that Manning is gone?
Clyde Christensen, the Colts' offensive coordinator the past two seasons, is expected to remain on Pagano's staff and handle wide receivers. That's a position Christensen held from 2002-09.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
I just found news links going both ways. Some say still here some say let go.
Last edited by presto123; 01-28-2012 at 09:25 PM.
Really like the hire. Let's see how the rest of the coaching staff ends up.
I'd like to hear what the Colts plan to do with Tressell. I just had a feeling he'd end up the ST coach.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
I heard or read (can't remember which) that Pittsburgh's owner wanted to get back to 'Steelers football' - which is running the ball. In a league that is designed for a passing game, that's an odd decision to make.
Yeah and now Keith Butler who was the Steelers LB is our new DC. Looks like the Colts will be playing the 3-4 defense next year. Interested to see how our defensive unit ends up with Butler, and obviously head coach Pagano coming from DC of Ravens
It's worth noting that Pagano has spent the last few years coaching players to play against Arians' offense twice a year. He must have some respect for what he was doing in Pittsburgh.

" Type: Meat "
I've only eaten Morrisons Chicken and Mushroom Pie's once - and I have to say that once was probably more than enough for one lifetime! It is fresh (as in not frozen) and takes about 20 minutes in the oven to get the pastry to be a golden brown.
From appearances, the pie, once cooked looks okay.....not fabulous.....but okay. The pastry is golden brown and looks flaky as puff pastry should be. The top is latticed like many of these type of pies tends to be - and it is deep enough to look a decent size. It's a decent size for an individual portion although if you were having it for a meal you would need to bulk it up with vegetables or potatoes as it wouldn't fill you enough for one meal - even if you could get past the deliciously cardboard flavour!
The most important thing about the pie is obviously the flavour. The pastry is actually not too bad as long as you don't mind your pastry not being particularly crispy. It's not that it's sloppy or soggy, but it is certainly not crispy or crunchy. It is a bit think and I could do with the pastry being a little thinner, particularly at the edges where it is really thick. However, the flavour of the filling is really not good at all. There is very little chicken in it and very little mushroom - and the majority of it is made up of a white sauce which is not very nice at all. The sauce is pretty tasteless and gloopy without any substance. The chicken is in such small chunks that it really doesn't feel like there is any chicken in it at all. I really just didn't like the taste or the gloopiness of the filling at all.
This was not a good pie at all and I cannot recommend it!
These Chicken And Mushroom Pies from Morrisons are the WORST I've ever eaten, to be fair I got the chilled pie that was individually wrapped but you can get Morrisons pies frozen, from the deli and in all different sizes. One of them might be a bit better than the pie I had but I doubt it because none of the pies I've ever brought from Morrisons have been any good and I don't know why I brought this one in the first place! lol
It takes about 20 mins to cook in the oven but you need to watch because the pastry burns dead quick if you leave it in even for a minute too long.
It's like a soft pastry case with a flakey puff pastry top, the top doesn't rise much but it went a nice golden brown while it was cooking and smelled ok when I took it out.
I knew there wasn't going to be much filling because the pie felt proper light when I held it in my hand and looked proper puny after it had been cooked. I was still shocked when I cut into it though and saw that there wasn't hardly any chicken or mushrooms in the pie and most of the filling was just a thick grey looking sauce. It looked stickey and definately was because it stuck to the knife when I cut it! lol
There was about 6 very small chunks of chicken in the pie and when I finally found a mushroom I saw they were cut proper small and was a bit slimey feeling. They still tasted of mushrooms though but that wasn't all that good either because I thought the mushrooms had got a bit of a fake taste that didn't do anything for the pie.
The sauce was dead bland and made me feel a bit sick after a couple of mouth fulls, I think that was because of the sticky thick feel to it and I didn't like it at all.
Not recommended...... disgusting!!!
Today after the gym I was starving, not in a good mood and I wanted something naughty to eat. I say naughty cos on gym days I try really hard to eat healthily so I don't feel like I undo all my hard work but I wanted pastry and when I want something that's it, I have to have it! lol.
I spotted these in the refrigerator section in Morrisons but versions in store do include frozen and freshly baked ones too. These one's are 59p per individual pie or any 2 of any pies (chicken & mushroom, minced beef & onion, steak and steak & kidney) are all part of the deal! One I got was this one and usually it's my favourite flavour....notice I say usually lol, there's always an exception to that rule and this seriously is!
The Packaging:
Clear and white blue plastic oblong shaped wrapper (you can see most of the pie lid through) and on the front in white and blue writing I'm told it is Morrisons Chicken & Mushroom Pie 'A puff pastry pie filled with British chicken in a creamy sauce' and then there is Union Jack displayed along with an at a glance nutritional chart, I'm told I can cook it in the oven, that it's freezable, the best before date is clearly stamped on and the weight is stated which in this case is 150g. On the back of the wrapper other information given includes ingredients and allergy advice being listed, I'm told how to cook it (from chilled 20-22 minutes or from frozen 50-55 minutes) in the oven, a full nutritional chart is given and contact details for Morrisons are listed. The pie comes in a foil tray and the whole of the packaging is informative enough, easy to open and stuff like that.
The Pie:
Well I was instantly attracted to the pie in the shop when I picked it up to see what it was. It was a decent weight and looked like a hefty portion for one person and I like a decent sized pie! It's very deep, sort of square in shape (rounded to the corners) and of smooth, thick light cream coloured pasty with the lid being rougher in texture, slightly golden in colour and sort of latticed in appearance.
When I took it out of the wrapper it never fell apart on me and I decided to eat it cold cos I was hungry (you can eat this hot or cold by the way).
Now maybe this review would read differently warm/hot but I found this awful. The pastry was stodgy and hard to digest. It's meant to be puff but it was damp, smooth and slightly soggy. It didn't have alot of taste to it at all and I certainly couldn't taste butter in it or seasoning and it was all just a bit thick for my liking. However all in all the pastry is marvelous in comparison for what is passed off as filling! Yuk!!!!!!.....
It was tasteless. It was mainly white sauce that was gloopy with a powdery feel in the mouth and not alot of it but loads in comparison to chicken and mushrooms. I pulled off the lid to see what I was eating as it had no aroma and no flavour to it really and it just was not even a quarter full in the pie, I spotted two small slices of mushroom in there and no chicken at all! Not one bit! It was horrible. Not so mush horrid on taste because like I say it never had a lot of flavour but the textures were just awful.
Economy pie at it's worst and I did try another flavour (I will do a review on it) that was just as bad! I don't like these pies at all and Morrisons would need to pay me to eat these again!

Morrisons chicken and Mushroom pies
Bought from the freezer section, not in my mind my finest buy of the week.
My reasons for buying these were of course they were on offer buy one get one free.
I bought One Steak and Onion and one Chicken and Mushroom, Where the Steak one was fine the Chicken one which is what I am writing about today was far from it I am afraid to say.
I usually like most of Morrisons range but on the odd occasion the really do drop the ball a bit. This in my opinion was one of those occasions.
The Pastry was to be honest reasonably ok it wasn't the best pastry I have tasted but it was edible. The contents within the pastry were another matter for me.
The chicken was preformed and tasteless as far as I could ascertain and the Mushrooms in the pie tasted like those out of a tin not pleasant, possibly wild couldn't quite get to grips with them the overall taste of the mushrooms was overpowering and unpleasant. I like mushrooms but these were not nice. The sauce I think should have been a white sauce which turned out to be a mushroom sauce. Over powering.
So I think this pie should have been a Mushroom pie with small amount of chicken preformed or not inside it.
As I said before NOT Morrisons better product.
The pie was also too salty and this made eating it an unpleasant experience we as a family would not entertain again. My son who usually eats anything offered asked me quite pointedly not to buy it again. So that tells you how bad this particular product was.
Sorry Morrisons but even us who work there have to eat and this is in my view one of the worst dining experiences I and my family have tried yet. We generally shop in this store not because I work there but because it is usually a good store for food and cheaper than Tescos.
So I find it a shame when we are let down by inferior products.
I have since found other Pies that Morrisons do that are excellent from the fresh baked counter and they are very good indeed, maybe that is the answer here buy fresh not frozen.
Savoury meat pie.

Pinewood School's eight-man football team not only suffered from another slow start – this one was painful as well. The Panthers were down 22-0 and a key player by the end of the first quarter Friday at Woodside Priory.
Standout running back/safety Aidan Lucero (shoulder) didn't come back, and neither did Pinewood. Priory prevailed 56-22 to complete a perfect season (7-0), denying the Panthers (5-2) a share of the Mission Trail Athletic League title.
"We've had some trouble coming out of the gates in most games – it takes us a little bit to get going," said coach Matt Irvin, whose team had to settle for third place. "Unfortunately in that time, we lost Aidan Lucero, one of our leaders out here and one of our best players."
Pinewood played Priory even in the second quarter – each team scored a touchdown – but the Panthers lost another player along the way. Greg Naumann, who replaced Lucero in the backfield, was ejected for a personal foul with just under two minutes left in the half.
"That was an unfortunate penalty on Greg – a call we'll be reviewing," said Irvin, who questioned the official's claim that Naumann intentionally pulled off an opponent's helmet. "When you lose those two guys, it gets a little tough."
Just a few plays earlier, Naumann threw a halfback pass that set up Pinewood's first score of the afternoon. His 52-yard bomb to quarterback Kevin Tracy put the Panthers at the 3-yard line and Jack Sweat plowed through the middle on the next play for the touchdown.
"We just threw that in this week," Irvin said of the trick play. "I thought they were kind of overplaying one side, so we snuck Kevin out there. Greg threw a nice pass and Kevin made a nice run to get close to the touchdown. We had to do something to break the ice a little bit, and it worked."
The two-point run failed, leaving Priory with a 28-6 lead. The score remained static until the first play of the fourth quarter when Priory's Garrett Weber rumbled 36 yards for a touchdown. The 6-foot-2, 247-pound junior – listed as a defensive lineman – shed several would-be tacklers along the way.
Priory gashed Pinewood with its ground attack throughout the game, racking up 420 yards on 51 carries. Senior running back James McDaniel did most of the damage, totaling 239 yards and four touchdowns on 28 carries.
"He's just a great back and hard to bring down," Irvin said. "We played a little too high today. Against a back like that, we've got to get lower and go for the ankles instead of the shoulder pads. If we'd have done that, maybe it would have been a different outcome."
Pinewood had its moments running the ball as well. Sophomore halfback Matthew Murphy raced 65 yards for a touchdown on a sweep left four minutes into the final quarter. Tracy's two-point pass to receiver Wilson Fields cut Priory's advantage to 40-14.
Fields wasn't done producing points for the Panthers. The junior snared a pass across the middle from Tracy for a 64-yard touchdown and hooked up with the quarterback again on the two-point conversion. This cut Priory's lead to 48-22 with 4:07 left.
The deficit widened on the next play from scrimmage, however, as McDaniel escaped for a 55-yard touchdown.
"Priory's a tough team," Irvin said. "They're physical, ran some great plays, they're tough tacklers and tough guys to bring down. They're just a great football team."

John Reuter and Nafis Azad are still at work on the production of the documentary film Camera Ready: The Polaroid 20×24 Project. Conceived in 2014 and with nearly 20 interviews to date, there are still some key interviews to capture as basic editing has begun. The 20×24 Studio is still active and much of the pair's time is focused on running the cameras and executing film production. Here is a sneak peak of what they have produced so far. Stay tuned for more updates!
Legendary artist Joyce Tenneson recounts her look back at the Polaroid 20×24 images she created from the late 80's through the early 2000's. Exploring her archive once again has revealed images not chosen at the time of creation but that now have special meaning to her after this passage of time. These images will be collected in a new book and in an exhibit at Dowling Walsh Gallery at 365 Main Street, Rockland, Maine in July of 2016. John Reuter, who worked with Joyce to produce the images on the 20×24 camera interviews her for this intimate look at the "Unseen Polaroids".
The 20×24 Studio announced this week that it will be ending production operations at the end of 2017. The company has been operating with film stock purchased in 2009 from Polaroid Corporation as it exited the film business. Executive Director John Reuter, who began working for Polaroid in 1978 stated that "our original business plan was for five years with the inventory purchased and for a variety of reasons we have not worked through the material. Instant film will not last forever and despite storing the film stock in cold storage and mixing the chemical reagent only as needed the studio projects that they can maintain the quality for two more years."
"Our hope now is that we can work on some great projects with many of our legacy clients as well as new artists who have yet to experience the ultimate in instant analog image making," says Reuter. The Polaroid 20×24 camera stands apart from all other large format experiences because it delivers an instant finished photograph. The artist is able to react to the subject matter in a manner unlike any other photographic experience. Digital technology may rival it in resolution and instant playback but it cannot match the experience of having the final complete artwork on the wall in ninety seconds for all to see.
The team of John Reuter, Nafis Azad and Ted McLelland has worked together for nearly ten years to provide access to this venerable technology. Together the three of them are working to produce the finished product that over a dozen people once accomplished at Polaroid. Azad and Reuter are also the film crew, operating cameras and lighting in New York, Miami and on location anywhere in the US.
In addition there are cameras in San Francisco and Dusseldorf, Germany. To learn more about renting one of these cameras while the film lasts contact the 20×24 Studio at firstname.lastname@example.com.
In 1987 Polaroid sent John Reuter and the 20×24 camera to Miami to work with renowned multi-media artist Robert Rauschenberg. Rauschenberg had used photography extensively as collage material in his own paintings but was not known as a photographer. Rauschenberg had many ideas for location shoot images and at a pre-shoot dinner he described to Reuter what kind of situations he would like to put the camera in. Reuter would diplomatically counter with the physical restrictions and limitations of the 235 pound camera in outdoor location scenarios. After the fourth or fifth qualification from Reuter, Rauschenberg proclaimed in exasperation "why, it sounds like this camera is made out of string and cardboard!" " Not quite", Reuter replied and the next few days the camera travelled the streets of Miami capturing the grit and strange beauty as only Rauschenberg could see it. As they were working Reuter described a film he did not bring to Miami as it was not requested. That film was Polapan 400, a Type 52 equivalent that required a print coater and so was not suitable for outdoor location work. Reuter told Rauschenberg how this film had to have the coater painted on with a foam paint brush or the silver would bleach away. Rauschenberg immediately got the idea to partially apply coater to the image and allow the bleaching process to alter the image. They would meet again in the New York studio in 1988 and Rauschenberg brought many of his favorite black and white images to re-photograph. They decided to make some single panel enlargements and some much bigger multi panel enlargements. Rauschenberg applied the coater solution to the images in the studio in a unique Rauschenbergian way. The images were sent to his studio in Captiva, Florida and subjected to all of the elements Rauschenberg could throw at them, sun, brushes, bleach, and high pressure water. At the end of the process the images were mounted on steel panels. These images were shown recently at an exhibit at Pace MacGill gallery in New York and can be seen in a book on Rauschenberg's art by Phaidon.
From May of 2013 through December Chuck Close has been photographing the Hollywood elite for a special Vanity Fair issue. Chuck Close describes his working method with the Polaroid 20×24 Camera, which he has used since 1977.

Incheon, Korea, June 12 – Italy maintained their unbeaten record in the 2011 FIVB World League on Sunday with a dramatic 3-2 (25-15, 25-22, 21-25, 22-25, 15-10) win over Korea in Incheon. Unlike Saturday's match, Italy were at their best, especially the powerful attacks and blocking of Christian Savani on the left and Ivan Zaytsev.
Michal Lasko led Italy with 21 points, closely followed by Zaytsev with 19. Jeon Kwang-In had 21 points for Korea and Choi Hong-Suk 18.
In the first set, Italy's clever serving, their powerful attacks and good blocking seized the initiative from the Korean players and they finished off the set with six unanswered points.
At the start of the second set, Korean ace Jeon Kwang-In's serves and Lee Sun-Kyu's effective blocks blunted Italy's counterattack. The Koreans were also better organized and they were two points ahead by the second technical timeout. But Italy were revived by their strong serves and determination, and clinched the second set with a three-point margin.
Italy had a slight advantage at the start of the third set, but Korea came back strongly with good serving and strong defence. Korea edged ahead at 20-19 as Lee continued to provide strong serves and Jeon hit his stride in attack. After taking a three-point lead at 23-20, the Koreans didn't look back and won the set by four points.
The Koreans carried their momentum into the fourth set before Italy dug in to keep things close. But Korea again proved to be the stronger team in the latter stages – they attacked well, blocked well and were well organized – and suddenly it was a 2-2 match.
But Korea were unable to sustain their form in the fifth set and several errors handed the advantage, the set and the match to Italy.
As consolation, Korea held on to second place in Pool D, but they will face another tough challenge next week when they take on Cuba in Gwangju.

Summit Up 11-21-12: Where goats climb trees for argan oil products
November 20, 2012
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column running a photo twice, this time with a full explanation.
Paul Motosko from Silverthorne writes thusly: "My wife sent in a photo about a month-and-a-half ago of goats climbing trees. These photos were taken outside of Agadir, Morocco, while visiting her sister, Ginny, who has been living there for over 30 years. Ginny teaches English at the American Institute in Agadir. The goats are climbing Argan trees, which produce nuts that are used for making butter, (like almond butter), shampoo, hair and skin products. It is amazing to see these goats 15-20 feet off the ground to get to these nuts. Only the black goats can climb the trees. The brown goats can't climb the trees, and only reach up off the ground, or eat the nuts that have fallen to the ground. This information was given to us by a goat herder that was tending to his flock. Thank goodness, my sister-in-law speaks Arabic. He invited us to take as many photos as we liked and go into the field as far as we wanted. There were hundreds of goats in the trees and we took about 50 photos in this field, alone. The herder was very friendly and invited us to come to his house for lunch the next time we come to Morocco. When you see the commercials for Moroccan Argan oil products, like shampoo, these are the trees that they come from.
We have lived in Summit County since 1981 and this is only our second trip to Morocco, for a visit."
And there you have it. Happy Hump Day y'all. We out, prepping our bird.

Clay Aiken went from 'American Idol' to gay icon — and more
It should come as no surprise that singer Clay Aiken would be a gentleman. With his Southern twang and clean-cut persona, he's both personable and professional in an interview. But the kid is also pretty slick.
"Not many people can deal with the scrutiny of bullshit."
Whoa — did Clay Aiken just drop the "S" word? The remark comes on the heels of a question about his much blogged-about new relationship with Jeff Walters, a local actor with recent parts in such shows as Uptown Players' Closer to Heaven and Ohlook's The Rocky Horror Show. Perez Hilton and many others (our own Instant Tea blog even got in on the action) were quick to highlight the guys' night out on the town, complete with pics at Theatre Three and the Gaylord. What soon followed were pics of Walters from Grindr and his work as an underwear model.
"I'll save you the trouble of asking and not answer," Aiken laughs with that underlying tone that he's tight-lipped about his personal life.

The journal book for teachers of at-risk college writers
Boynton/Cook Publishers, Oct 26, 1999 - Education - 202 pages
Educators across the grades and across the curriculum have long recognized the usefulness of journals to help student writers. But what about basic writers, learning-disabled students, and nontraditional and returning students? One of the values of journal writing is its accessibility, yet no one has seemed to consider how at-risk students might benefit. With this new collection, the first of its kind, Susan Gardner and Toby Fulwiler provide much-needed advice. The authors of these essays are all experienced teachers of at-risk writers, both at two- and four-year colleges. They know the at-risk students they are describing. Some readers will recognize the students as "basic" writers in basic writing courses. Others will find chapters written by writing center directors who serve a variety of students we might term as "at risk." There are also chapters from educators who work specifically with Deaf students, ADHD students, and learning-disabled students. Each one describes uses of the journal and the adjustments to the assignment that make the journal such an accessible and instructive writing genre.

TAMPA, Fla.—Buccaneers rookie linebacker Lavonte David never had a nickname until he reached the NFL. Now he has two.
"We call him 'LoLo' or 'Flash,' " fellow linebacker Mason Foster said.
The former stuck after David's defensive teammates got a kick out of the way Bucs linebackers coach Bob Fraser stuttered through David's first name while trying to address him during a practice drill.
The latter, well, Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy explains it best.
"We'll have a play and all of a sudden, like out of nowhere, there goes No. 54 (David)," McCoy said. "He's like a flash."
The Bucs are just hoping David isn't a flash in the pan. They traded back into the second round to get him with the 58th pick in the draft last April, and he's been making splash plays ever since.
With nine more tackles during the Bucs' 23-21 loss Sunday to the Eagles, David leads the team with 117 and in the tackles for loss with 17. Making plays, though, is only one part of the former Nebraska standout's job.
David also is responsible for making defensive play calls. That duty was handled a year ago by Foster, who can tell you first hand just how difficult it is for a rookie to be the quarterback of a defense.
"It's not easy," Foster said. "It's hard enough just playing as a rookie. But then you add the play-calling to it, there's a lot of responsibility there. But he's doing a good job."
It seems an odd job for David, and not just because he's a rookie. He is also one of the least vocal players on the team. When he's not at practice or in a meeting, David usually sits in quiet solitude facing his locker.
"I don't know why, but I'm just a real quiet guy,'' David said. "I just don't talk much. Sometimes it's not my place to talk, so I just keep to myself a lot. I don't know where it comes from, but that's who I am. It keeps me out of trouble.''
David has been nothing but trouble for opponents this year. He recently added his first career interception to his stat sheet by picking off Peyton Manning. A bigger prize, however, may be awaiting him at the end of the season.
As the NFL's fifth-leading tackler on a team that tops the league in rush defense, David has a chance to win the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year award. He has easily been the Bucs' most consistent rookie.
Though running back Doug Martin has earned a little more attention in recent weeks, it wasn't until a month into the season that he began to flash. As his nickname suggests, though, David has been doing that since opening day.
The Bucs aren't surprised. Though he doesn't necessarily have ideal linebacker size, the 6-foot-1, 233-pound David has the speed they covet and a physical nature that conjures memories of former Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks.
"He's a very instinctive player," Bucs defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan said of David. "If you were playing pickup tackle in the backyard, he'd be one of the first guys you'd take because he's going to make a whole bunch of plays."
Most of those plays have been made against the run. David has been solid against the pass but not spectacular, his pick of Manning notwithstanding, but the Bucs still believe he's playing at a level few would have expected.
"What Lavonte has done is, he's been very consistent from game one on," Bucs coach Greg Schiano said. "He's made plays every week. He's really playing at a high level. He's been very un-rookie-like, if you will, performing very well."

ALBANY - Today, three Western New York firefighters, and six more from throughout New York State, who lost their lives in the line of duty were honored at the New York State Fallen Firefighters Memorial. With family, friends, and hundreds of firefighters there to pay their respects, Lieutenant Governor Robert J. Duffy led a ceremony in adding the names of nine fallen firefighters to the memorial.
"Firefighters from across the state came to pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of these individuals. We must never forget the fact that our first responders risk their lives every day, and for that we are eternally grateful," said Senator Catharine M. Young (R,C,I-Olean), who attended the ceremony to memorialize the nine brave firefighters honored.
Ronald J. Keddie, a 41-year member of the Sheridan Fire Department, passed away on June 27,2012 at the age of 64. While reporting to the fire station to drive an engine to a motor vehicle accident, Ron collapsed on the floor of the fire station due to a medical emergency, and succumbed to his injuries.
Ron was a New York State Fire Instructor for more than 30 years. He had a passion for the fire service that was difficult to rival. He attempted to instill that passion to all of his students, as well as to anyone else who would listen. He coordinated the Chautauqua County Weekend at the New York State Fire Academy, where there was rarely an empty seat. Ron also loved to work with children, and routinely taught fire prevention to children at local schools, youth groups, and at the Children's Safety Village. Ron was a burly man with a deep, gruff voice, which may normally frighten a child, but due to his gentle ways, almost always endeared the children to him and his message of fire safety.
Ronald Keddie served the Sheridan Fire Department in the offices of President, Chief for two terms, and most recently as a Fire Commissioner in his third term. Through the course of his career, he also served on countless committees. Ron served his country in the Viet Nam War from 1967-1970 in the U.S. Navy, and received the National Defense Medal. He was also very active in local fraternal organizations, clubs, charitable organizations, and an avid Buffalo Sabres fan.
Surviving are his wife Kathleen and son Michael, both active members of the Sheridan Fire Department, and daughters Jennifer and Melissa. He was predeceased by his parents Robert and Esther, and his son Todd.
Michael J. Chiapperini was born April 1, 1969 and grew up in Webster, New York with his loving parents Marcia and John, and sister Michelle. He dedicated his life to serving the Webster community as both a volunteer firefighter and police lieutenant. Mike volunteered with the West Webster Fire Department for over 25 years rising through the ranks of lieutenant, captain, first and second assistant chief, and chief. Mike really loved serving as the Explorer Post Advisor, volunteering for deployments, and going on calls, especially with his son, Nick. Mike also worked for the Webster Police Department for over 19 years. Within the department, he rose through the ranks of patrol officer, investigator, sergeant and lieutenant. Mike served on many committees and was trained in many areas of emergency response.
On December 24, 2012, Mike responded to a call for a reported car fire. Upon arrival, a gunman ambushed the firefighters and opened fire. Mike and Tomasz Kaczowka were fatally wounded, and two other firefighters, Joe Hoffstetter and Ted Scardino, were also wounded by gunfire. The shooter took his own life shortly afterwards.
Mike leaves behind his wife, Kim, and three children, Nicholas (20), Kacie (5) and Kylie (3). He is also survived by his mother, Marcia; sister, Michelle (Dane) Ehrich; mother and father-in-law, Pete and Shari Munding; brother-in-laws, Mike and Ryan Munding; sister-in-law, Julie (Jeffrey) Dawson; numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and many friends.
Mike had a deep passion for life - he enjoyed boating, snowmobiling, hunting, road trips, vacations and lots of family time. Every weekend, he planned something fun to do with his family. He also adored his two boxers, Jax and Carlie. Courageous, determined, outgoing, humorous and generous are qualities that Mike possessed. He adored his family, would always help a friend in need, and was a true public servant. Mike is and will always be greatly loved and missed.
Born May 16, 1993, Tomasz Marian Kaczowka was a first generation Polish-American and the youngest of three brothers. He loved his friends and family, visiting Poland, and helping others. Those who knew him remember him as an energetic, fun-loving individual with a sense of humor and a contagious smile. He enjoyed making people laugh and playing jokes on his unsuspecting brothers Dariusz and Greg. His parents Janina and Marian taught him to work hard and reap the benefits of a career he was passionate about.
Tomasz joined the West Webster Explorers Post at age 14, eagerly training to develop himself and others as firefighters. Tomasz also attended the Eastern Monroe Career Center in Rochester, eventually earning CFR and EMT certifications. In August 2011 at age 18, Thomasz became the youngest volunteer firefighter in the department, earning nicknames like "kid" or "skidda." He continued his studies in Fire Safety at Monroe Community College while simultaneously working full time as a Fire Dispatcher for the Rochester Emergency Communications Department on the overnight shift. Even with this rigorous schedule, Tomasz still dedicated time to attend incidents, and was placed on the Dean's List for the fall of 2012. Tomasz planned to become a professional firefighter.
Tomasz Kaczowka was killed in the line of duty along with his friend and mentor Michael Chiapperini during an ambush at the scene of a fire on Christmas Eve 2012. He had selflessly offered to stay at the firehouse overnight so that other firefighters could spend time with their families. His heroic actions will not be forgotten.
Tomasz's dedication and drive to succeed in civil service serves as proof that age is not always an accurate measure of a person's character and ability. Hopefully, Tomasz's actions will serve as a guide for other young firefighters.
Also honored were Richard A. Nappi of the New York City Fire Department, James P. Wickham of the Cutchogue Fire Department, Isaac L. Ransom of the East Clinton Fire Department, Gerard Marcheterre of the Borodino Fire Department, Harry L. Davidson of the Winona Lake Fire Department, and George W. Dove of the Skaneateles Fire Department.

THE first batch of drink-drivers caught by police in North Yorkshire over the Christmas period have taken part in a course to educate them about the impact of their offences.
Over Christmas, a total of 118 arrests were made on suspicion of drink-driving during North Yorkshire Police's Christmas Safety Campaign, and some have been ordered by the courts to undergo the Drink Impaired Drivers programme (DID).
The scheme, run by the York and North Yorkshire Probation Trust, is a 14-week programme which confronts offenders about their drinking and driving, forcing them to consider the effect of their offences on other people.
One of the nine offenders who has already undergone the programme was a man who was sentenced to a 12-month community order, 150 hours of unpaid work, and ordered to complete the DID programme.
He said: "I found the programme very informative and it has been a great help in understanding, not only the affects of alcohol on the body and in reaction time, but just how it can dramatically influence decision making.
"The course tutors were non-judgemental and thanks to them I am confident that I have an increased knowledge of the many aspects surrounding driving while over the legal limit. I am also confident that I will never find myself in that situation again."
On average, 3,000 people are killed or seriously injured each year in drink-drive collisions – that's one in six of all road deaths involving drivers who are over the legal alcohol limit.
Driving at twice the legal alcohol limit means offenders are at least 50 times more likely to cause a road crash than a driver who has not been drinking.
Dave Hall, from the Probation Trust, said: "During the programme we hammer home the consequences of drink-driving. The common misconception is that drink-driving only impacts on the person caught, but people need to understand that drink-driving is irresponsible, illegal and can wreck the lives of innocent people, including passengers, other road users and pedestrians."
"The most powerful aspect of the programme is that offenders learn from each other. We have some offenders, who have been drink driving for years without giving it a second thought, who get to meet offenders where their drink-driving has had tragic outcomes."

ATLANTA — Home Depot has added Samsung to its portfolio of leading appliance brands, which already includes Whirlpool, LG, GE, GE Profile, Maytag, Frigidaire, Electrolux and Adora.
The home improvement retailer will carry Samsung appliances at its more than 2,000 stores nationwide and online beginning Sunday, December 9.
"We always look to bring innovation and expanded assortment to our customers," said Bob Baird, merchandising VP, Home Depot. "Adding Samsung's line of home appliances to the roster really bolsters our offering to meet the growing needs of our consumers. Along with our quality products, price and selection, we are committed to delivering excellent customer service to all of our customers."
This year, Samsung received the highest customer satisfaction ranking in three major appliance categories in the annual J.D. Power and Associates Kitchen and Laundry Appliance Studies, including refrigeration for the seventh year out of the last eight, dryers for the fifth consecutive year and washers for the fourth consecutive year.
Home Depot announced its brands expansion just a few months after adding Whirlpool, Electrolux and Frigidaire in a limited number of stores and online, and just one day after rival home improvement retailer Lowe's, which already carries Samsung, announced its addition of LG-brand appliances, beginning 2013.
Lowe's saw improvement in its third-quarter results, with quarter profits up 76%. The home improvement retailer's president and CEO Robert Niblock said the company is focused on improving execution, delivering value and increasing product differentiation. But sales at Lowe's lacked the momentum evident at Home Depot, whose sales increased from 4.6% to $18.1 billion and same store sales increased 4.2% overall. Home Depot seems determined to edge out its competition, not only by growing its stable of brands, but also by having Samsung brand appliances in stock this month, before the busiest shopping day of the year.
Home Depot stays ahead of the appliance brand game

New Precinct 5 Constable Beth Villarreal got off to a shaky start this week, failing to answer any questions on Tuesday during her inaugural press conference as her supporters shouted down reporters. Let's hope Villarreal doesn't get off to an even shakier start with the LGBT community by hiring a known homophobe to serve as her chief deputy in the county's most heavily gay constable precinct.
Villarreal was appointed to replace Jaime Cortes, who stepped down amid allegations of corruption. Villarreal defeated Cortes in the Democratic Primary and has no Republican opponent, so she would have taken office at the end of the year anyway. But she began her new job about six months early this week following Cortes' resignation.
Villarreal has a gay son and championed herself as a PFLAG mom during the primary campaign to woo LGBT support. And apparently it worked, as she handily won the county's most heavily gay precincts despite the fact that Cortes had been endorsed by Stonewall Democrats of Dallas.
Given Villarreal's strong LGBT backing — she also had a gay campaign co-manager — it's baffling that she would even consider hiring former Dallas County Sheriff's Deputy Mike Ramirez as her chief deputy in the constable's office. But according to The Dallas Morning News, Villarreal might already have hired Ramirez if it weren't for his pending lawsuit against the county:
And she [Villarreal] is considering hiring Mike Ramirez, a retired sheriff's deputy, as her chief deputy. That could be a problem, Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price said earlier, since Ramirez has a suit pending against the county. He and two others claim they were given unfavorable assignments by Sheriff Lupe Valdez, a Democrat, after they backed her Republican opponent in the 2008 election. The commissioners adopted a policy this year prohibiting the hiring of anyone who has a lawsuit pending against the county.
Ramirez was given his "unfavorable assignment" at the sheriff's department after he not only backed Valdez's Republican opponent, but also spearheaded a vicious anti-gay political attack against the openly lesbian sheriff. A few weeks before the November 2008 election, Ramirez went to The Morning News with allegations that Valdez was "trying to promote the gay lifestyle" because she had implemented sexual-orientation diversity training in the sheriff's department. And The DMN ran with the story, despite the fact that this same training had been used by the Dallas Police Department for decades.
The DMN published the story on the front Page of its Metro Section in September 2008, under the headline "Sexuality survey draws complaints from Dallas deputies." Here are a few excerpts:
But Deputy Mike Ramirez, vice president of the Dallas chapter of the Latino Peace Officers Association, said some deputies felt obligated to fill it out.
"They felt the department was trying to promote the gay lifestyle," he said. …
Deputy Ramirez did not take the class but said he also took offense to the questionnaire after reading it.
"I have a problem when you bring the Bible into this," Deputy Ramirez said. "Who are we to question the Bible?" …
Deputy Ramirez said the employees were concerned that the class was geared more toward gays and lesbians and didn't include enough discussions about blacks, Hispanics and other minority groups.
"If you want to be gay or lesbian, that's your business," he said. "The way it was brought to the department, we don't think it was right."
We later did our own story and interviewed Ramirez, who denied that he was acting on behalf of Valdez's opponent. In retrospect, Ramirez's denial was a blatant lie given that he served as VP of the Latino Peace Officers Association, which had endorsed Lowell Cannaday. We can't find the link to our story right now on this crack new website, but here's what Ramirez told us:
"Some of the people felt they [department officials] were trying to push the gay agenda onto them," Ramirez said. "It was not politically motivated."

California American Water's latest plan to address the looming water crisis may not be the perfect approach. With so much at stake and with so many stakeholders with varying interests, no plan would ever be considered ideal. But at the very least, it represents movement, which, like water, has been in short supply.
The various interest groups now will pick apart Cal Am's plan, competing plans will continue to be aired and other obstacles will develop. But the people and the economy of the Peninsula will be served best if the other plans and other obstacles play out on their own without derailing the Cal Am proposal.
As it stands, there is at least some chance that Cal Am could complete a scaled-back desalination plant, an expanded aquifer storage project and a groundwater replenishment program by 2016, when the Peninsula should be feeling the full effects of a state-ordered cutback on use of Carmel River water.
Like others, we're concerned Cal Am could be overly optimistic with its projection that its plan would only double local water bills. The larger desalination plant that was part of the defunct regional project was expected to at least triple the bills—and that was without accounting for cost overruns that plague utility construction projects.
While the failures and foibles of the regional project have left the public deeply suspicious of Cal Am and a long list of public entities, there are few, if any, realistic options.
Developer Nader Agha hopes to proceed on a desalination plant of his own in partnership with the city of Pacific Grove and possibly other public partners. There is no obvious reason they shouldn't proceed, but the effort should be considered a supplement to Cal Am's plan, not an alternative.
Others are pushing for greater reliance on aquifer storage and recovery and additional use of treated wastewater. If there is a way to do more on those fronts than Cal Am is proposing, no one should stand in the way. But a long, drawn out debate about the precise percentage of water from each source would only delay a solution, and delay is the enemy.
Cal Am should not wait for a final determination on the issue of public ownership. A Monterey County ordinance requires that any desalination plant be owned by a public agency, which is why the regional project was the work of an unwieldy partnership involving Cal Am, Monterey County and the Marina Coast Water District.
The fate of that project supports the position of those who argue private enterprise often is more effective than the government. But it should be remembered that Cal Am played key roles in the decisionmaking and shenanigans that derailed the regional plan.
We would greatly prefer a public agency control the unfolding process, but if Cal Am wants to go it alone this time, it likely will speed things along. Even so, any expenses incurred in defeating the county ordinance should not be borne by the taxpayer or the ratepayer. The public should not have to pay a penny to have even less of a say over a vital public service.

Manjaro Linux Phasing out i686 (32bit) Support
In a not very surprising move by the Manjaro Linux developers, a blog post was made by Philip, the Lead Developer of the popular distribution based off Arch Linux, On Sept. 23 that reveals that 32-bit support will be phased out. In his announcement, Philip says, "Due to the decreasing popularity of i686 among the developers and the community, we have decided to phase out the support of this architecture. The decision means that v17.0.3 ISO will be the last that allows to install 32 bit Manjaro Linux. September and October will be our deprecation period, during which i686 will be still receiving upgraded packages. Starting from November 2017, packaging will no longer require that from maintainers, effectively making i686 unsupported."
Korora 26 'Bloat' Fedora-based Linux distro available for download -- now 64-bit only
Fedora is my favorite Linux distribution, but I don't always use it. Sometimes I opt for an operating system that is based on it depending on my needs at the moment. Called "Korora," it adds tweaks, repositories, codecs, and packages that aren't found in the normal Fedora operating system. As a result, Korora deviates from Red Hat's strict FOSS focus -- one of the most endearing things about Fedora. While you can add all of these things to Fedora manually, Korora can save you time by doing the work for you.
BackSlash Linux Olaf
While using BackSlash, I had two serious concerns. The first was with desktop performance. The Plasma-based desktop was not as responsive as I'm used to, in either test environment. Often times disabling effects or file indexing will improve the situation, but the desktop still lagged a bit for me. My other issue was the program crashes I experienced. The Discover software manager crashed on me several times, WPS crashed on start-up the first time on both machines, I lost the settings panel once along with my changes in progress. These problems make me think BackSlash's design may be appealing to newcomers, but I have concerns with the environment's stability. Down the road, once the developers have a chance to iron out some issues and polish the interface, I think BackSlash might do well targeting former macOS users, much the same way Zorin OS tries to appeal to former Windows users. But first, I think the distribution needs to stabilize a bit and squash lingering stability bugs.

Kennedy solid in loss to Rockies
DENVER -- The first meeting of the season between the D-backs and their National League West rival Rockies didn't figure to be a battle of the titans.
But with Colorado perched atop the standings and Arizona trailing by two games as the series began on Friday, there were certainly some bragging rights at stake. But an uncommon pitcher's duel on a cold night at Coors Field set the stage for a taut series set to defy expectations.
The D-backs and Rockies combined for only eight hits, with Ian Kennedy and Jhoulys Chacin going through the side in order for the first three innings before the Rockies pulled ahead to take the opener, 3-1, extending their winning streak to seven games and increasing their lead to three games over the D-backs.
"They beat us tonight, but it's not like we laid down," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "We played hard. The breaks didn't really go our way. We'll come back tomorrow."
Nobody was making excuses, but it's worth noting that Arizona played 12 innings against the Yankees Thursday night, then flew cross-country and got to Colorado in the wee hours of the morning. One player flew ahead -- Kennedy -- and he stood out with a sterling performance on a night when sterling wasn't enough.
Kennedy was perfect through three, striking out six of the first 12 Rockies he faced, before things unraveled a bit in the fourth. After retiring the leadoff hitter, Kennedy walked Josh Rutledge, then gave up a two-out, two-run homer to left by Troy Tulowitzki that gave the Rockies a 2-0 lead.
"I'd rather throw my pitch than give in, so I wasn't too worried about the walk," Kennedy said. "I got [Carlos Gonzalez] with the next strikeout, and I was happy with two outs with Tulo coming up. It looked like [the pitch] was in, but it wasn't in enough. It was kind of up, but he got on top of it. He's one of the best hitters in the National League, so he did a pretty good job of getting to it."
Kennedy ended the day with a quality start, allowing three runs in six innings on three hits and three walks while striking out six.
"Kennedy did a great job tonight," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "He got a lot of swings and misses on his fastball and his changeup. It looks like there's a lot of deception with him. It was a well-pitched game."
Chacin was equally effective through three innings, retiring all nine batters faced before Gerardo Parra opened the fourth with a single to center, his first of two hits on the night. Didi Gregorius added a pair of hits and A.J. Pollock's hit in the fifth made for a total of five, all singles, with the middle of the lineup going 0-for-12 with five strikeouts.
"The middle of our lineup didn't get any production out of it," Gibson noted. "It's going to happen."
The D-backs' best shot at breaking through against Chacin came in the fifth inning. Pollock ignited the rally with a two-out single to left and Gregorius followed with a single to right. Cliff Pennington then walked to load the bases, but Kennedy grounded out to short to end the threat.
Kennedy allowed his final run when Colorado third baseman Chris Nelson led off the fifth with a triple over Pollock's head in center. Chacin plated him with a sacrifice fly to center, giving the Rockies a 3-0 lead.
"Some balls die, some balls take off," Gibson observed. "That ball took off on him a little bit."
Gregorius built on his two-hit Major League debut on Thursday night with a 2-for-3 performance Friday, seeing 22 pitches in three at-bats. He saw nine pitches his first time up against Chacin, fouling off six before finally lacing a liner to left that Gonzalez caught with a dive toward the foul line.
"He had a couple good pitches moving around," Gregorius said. "His sinker was really good. The first at-bat, he threw me almost all his pitches. Cutters, sinkers, changeups, splits. I was fouling, fouling, fouling them off. The next time through, I managed to put a good swing through," connecting for a single.
Chacin left the game with left oblique stiffness following his 100th pitch in the seventh. He threw 6 1/3 shutout innings of three-hit ball.
The Rockies kept the D-backs scoreless until the ninth, when Parra slapped a single to center to open the inning, advanced to second on defensive indifference, then scored on a two-out throwing error by Nelson.
The loss dropped the D-backs to 3-3 in series openers this season and 1-3 on their nine-game road trip through New York, Colorado, and San Francisco.

Temple president's charge upgraded to attempted murder
A charge against the husband of a woman found clinging to life in a South Surrey home Sunday has been upgraded to attempted murder.
The change regarding Baldev Singh Kalsi was announced by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team on Twitter at about 4 p.m. Tuesday, the same day it was sworn in Surrey Provincial Court.
The 66-year-old – who is president of the Gurdwara Sahib Brookside temple – was arrested Sunday at a home in the 19400-block of 32 Avenue, where police found his wife in severe medical distress. She was airlifted to hospital and placed on life support.
The next afternoon, IHIT announced that a charge of aggravated assault was approved against Kalsi.
"This tragic incident is domestic related and not a random attack. The victim remains in hospital on life support and in critical condition. Her family has been notified," Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound said Monday.
Surinder Jabal, spokesman for the temple – at 8365 140 St. – confirmed Kalsi is the current president.
Jabal told Peace Arch News Monday that Kalsi is "very respected in the community" and that news of his arrest "was a surprise."
"We've been working together to build this society for the last 20 years," he said.
"I think everybody is disappointed to hear this news. It's very puzzling."
Jabal said Kalsi's son told him his mother is "not doing so good."
Kalsi is set to appear in court Wednesday.
