And the cause of school shootings is because Christians are no longer allowed to force our children to stand and pray to their god every morning in public school and 9/11 is a result of allowing gays to marry..yadda..yadda..yadda...

In the reddest and most Christian states, teen pregnancy, infant mortality, and divorce rates are much higher than in less religious areas of the country. Wonder how they explain that inverse correlation?

Oh and don't forget Hurricane Katrina....that was also god's punishment on gays, sinners, etc. I guess the Jebus blood sacrifice really wasn't enough appeasement for our sins after all.

RE: As atheism rises, America declines
When he says that it is wrong to think that Christians alone think that "they are right, and everyone else is wrong", why is it that they try to "save souls"? If you believe that you're not the only one who "has it right" then why bother to convince the opposition?
And it's not the "laws of science" proving that there is no god, it's just that there is no evidence. The laws of science have evidence to back them up. When you spout off that there must be a god, then the burden of proof falls on you, just as it does with the laws of science. In the scientific community, you can't just start saying what you think to be true without a scientific method (hypotheses, repeated experiments, peer review, et cetera).
And I read all of the comments, too. A commenter by the name of Offensive_Bias finished up all his arguments for Christianity by chalking it up to "Obama and Big Government" pushing their beliefs on everyone. Okaaay.

It may be more likely that as America declines, atheism rises.
Just remember, correlation does not prove causation.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

What a moron.
How does he explain the rise of countries like, Sweden or Denmark?
They both have majority atheist populations and they have a higher standard of living than the US, better health care, lower infant mortality, better education, lower crime rates, and their poor have a greater chance of upward mobility than in the US.

RE: As atheism rises, America declines
People ask how this guy can overlook this or that or the other thing? How else? It's the same old song and dance. Reach your conclusion a-priori (Atheists bad!) and find evidence to support it. If you like a claim, it's evidence. This isn't a religion thing or a conservative thing, it's a human psychology thing.
As for why America is "declining"? Let's see...
In terms of being a superpower, we aren't. We've been unchallenged since the second world largely collapsed. Our biggest opponent is China. But China is a trade partner, an uneasy friend, and unable to project power the way the US does. Not in the same league as a superpower. Also, you've got assymetric combatants such as Al-Qaeda, which the US has NEVER known how to deal with. Nothing new there. But they're nowhere near superpower status. If the US operates less brashly on the world stage, I'd blame the anti-war mentality that got real, popular traction in the 60s, and was ultimately founded in Christianity. And I think it's a good thing.
In terms of absolute economic might, and economic superiority? Well, the world recession started with a housing bubble that was in turn made possible by deregulation of the banking system, and lack of enforcement of regulations that still existed. (Arguably, it was also caused by wealth disparity. Poor and middle class people spend most of their money in the real economy on frivolous things like food, rent, medicine, gas, tech, and immediate luxuries, rather than financial boondoggles like packaged mortgages.) But its impact is hardly an American phenomenon. It hit Europe far harder. China managed it fairly well in the short term, but is now dealing with the consequences of that management. If anything, America's emerging from it stronger than the other major economic powers. In absolute GDP terms, we've emerged from the recession.
But in a longer term sense, sure, America's economic power relative to the world stage has been declining ever since the late 40s. Baby boomers think back to the halcyon wealth of the 50s and moan about how things are worse. Well, yes. That's because in the late 40s, every other industrial power on the planet had had their industry wracked, wrecked, and ruined by WWII, and half of them (such as Germany) were now part of the tug-of-war between the first world and the second. Meanwhile, ours was largely untouched. The US had a brief monopoly on industrial power, and built up as others rebuilt. This advantage wasn't about something we did right (except to keep The Enemy from our shores), it's about something that happened to everyone else. Also, strong unions and government regulation assured that all that wealth didn't just go into the the pockets of CEOs; it was used to fund 40 hour workweek, high salaries and wages, and extensive social programs. This largess was also short-term. The industrial world rebuilt, the developing world developed, and in a couple of decades we were no longer the only big dog around. The wealth evaporated, and with it so did high salaries, extensive social programs, and the 40 hour workweek, and in an effort to maintain that standard of living that they could no longer afford, Americans turned to debt. (CEOs are doing just fine, though.) The 50s were an erratic, outlying economic peak, a freak statistic, and yet it's what so many expectations are calibrated against.
Where else is the US declining? Science and innovation? Nope... and if we were, I'd blame the underfunding of the school system and the creationists undermining its science curriculum. Public programs? Yup, but that's more reversible political choices than any fundamental decline. In morality? Well, that depends on what you define as morality, but in the past half-century we've (largely) equalized the legal and social status of women and non-whites, are making the same effort with the QUILTBAG community, have shifted our model of warfare to one that's much less terrible for the civilians where we're fighting, and cut alcohol and tobacco use down significantly, if you care about that sort of thing. Sure, there have been limited areas of decline, but overall I'd call it a net gain morally. Um... what else... what else...
Oh, RIGHT! We're declining BECAUSE WE'RE BECOMING MORE ATHEISTIC! I forgot this obvious trick. If we abandon God, we're obviously declining into depravity! And of COURSE atheism is responsible for this! This isn't about cause and effect, this is equivocation! And really? It's the only way that part of the article makes any sense. (I'm probably being overgenerous in expecting it to make sense, but.) The notion of the decline is not supported, at all. It's simply asserted, and linked to atheism by... what? Proximity? The presumption that God's blessing the faithful with wealth and punishing the unfaithful with decline, but can't seem to calibrate His omnipotence finely enough to target individuals rather than nations?
And in the end, it's not even the point of the article. It's just one cheap, fallacious shot at atheism, in a pile of other fallacies aimed at atheism (I counted straw man, appeal to populism, ad-hominem, and begging the question, and could argue a few more), and that's really the point of the whole thing. It's not about some American decline, that's just one of a list of things that the author's grabbing onto as another nerf bat to pummel atheists with.
So, yeah. More words than it deserves. Examined, critiqued, torn to bits on the proving grounds, canned, shoved, buried. I'm done with it.
I am an antipistevist. That's like an antipastovist, only with epistemic responsibility instead of bruschetta.

In my opinion the rise of atheist is the result of what is happening in the world. I can't speak for anyone else here, but unless it is a wedding, funeral, or my wife is able to get me to, I don't go to church. Churches have been and still are a big part of our economy. As less and less people go to church, the churches have less money to put back into the economy. I realise that money that is not spent on religious donations is more than likely put into other things, but I try to put what I don't spend into the bank. So, logically some atheists out there might put their extra money into cigarettes and alcohol. I am fairly certain that given the nature of cigarette companies, that they don't exactly put their money into things that grow the economy. They most likely hold onto money and only put it into buying politicians, which means they don't help the poor or pay contractors enough money, basically rich tightwads. This leads to outside contractors and even their own employees not having money to put into the economy. It is kind of like growing pains. It will only be solved when athsists are the majority, such as in the other countries that are by majority atheist.

Suffolk University's three winter sports teams combined for 10 post-season awards for the 2012-13 season.
Two men's basketball players were selected to the 2012-13 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) All-Conference teams. Senior Colin Halpin was a first-team selection, while senior Matt Pepdjonovic garnered third-team honors.
Halpin finished the season with a team-best 16.5 points per game, which was the fifth highest average among scorers in the GNAC. He earned GNAC Player of the Week honors on Dec. 3. The senior forward etched his name into the Suffolk University history books on Dec. 1 when he became the 27th player in program history to reach the 1,000-career-point milestone.
Pepdjonovic finishes the 2012-13 season with an average 10.3 points per game. His 10 rebounds per game was the best average in the GNAC and 36th among NCAA Division-III players. He also finished in the top 10 nationally for blocked shots, with 2.7 per game. In 102 career games played, Pepdjonovic recorded double-doubles in 66 contests. He is the all-time leader in both Suffolk University and GNAC history in career rebounds, with 1,234, while he also holds the record in blocked shots at 239. He is one of three GNAC players to record 1,000 career points and 1,000 career rebounds.
More on Halpin and Pepdjonovic
Freshman Caleb Unni was named to the GNAC All-Sportsmanship team for men's basketball, while senior Lindsey Rogers, a basketball co-captain, was Suffolk's representative on the GNAC All-Sportsmanship women's team.
Sophomore Tim Sprague received an Honorable Mention for the ECAC Northeast Hockey All-Conference team for the 2012-13 season. In 16 games this season Sprague led the Rams with 13 goals and added five assists for a total of 18 points. His season cut short on Jan. 23 when he broke his leg during a game. His 1.28-goals-per-game average in ECAC Northeast action would be the highest had he played enough games to qualify. More
Coach of the Year
Women's basketball Coach Ed Leyden was named Great Northeast Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Coach of the Year for the 2012-13 season.
It is the sixth time Leyden has been recognized by his peers as the league's top coach. He guided the Rams to a 21-7 mark during the year as his team set the all-time Suffolk University record for wins in a season by a basketball team. In 20 career seasons as a collegiate Head Coach, Leyden has a career mark of 309-216 (.589 winning percentage). More
Women's basketballTwo women's basketball players -- Jacqueline Vienneau and Jennifer Ruys -- were named to the GNAC first team All-Conference selections for the 2012-13 season.
Vienneau, a senior and team co-captain, was one of three guards selected to the league's top team. She also was named to the GNAC All-Tournament team. Vienneau averaged 12.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Her 128 total assists led the GNAC, and she logged 924 minutes of play through 28 games, the most of any player. She became the first player in Suffolk University Women's Basketball program history to record 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 300 assists and the fourth GNAC player to do so.
Ruys, a junior, was named a first-team selection at forward and also was named to the GNAC's All-Tournament team. She led the Rams with a team-high 15.9 point per game average and was fifth in the league, scoring 17.5 points in conference games. Ruys collected six double-doubles on the year and led the Rams with 41 blocked shots. She became the 12th member of the 1,000-career-point club in February, one of only two Rams to have reached the career marker in her junior season. Ruys holds the best mark in Suffolk history from the free-throw line shooting at 81.3 percent. More

Is breakfast your favorite meal of the day? Then have I got a wonderful way to wake up for you. At first I thought about making an egg dish. I know casseroles are always a hit and thought it might be fun to try a delicious omelet. While browsing the Kraft Foods site, I found some amazing egg recipes but I decided I wanted to find something a little sweeter. Then I scrolled on to Peanut Butter Chocolate French Toast and I had to try it.
I was excited to discover how easy this recipe was to make. After melting a bit of chocolate and mixing it with peanut butter and a few other ingredients, I just spread it on to the bread and made sandwiches. Next I dipped the sandwiches in the French toast egg mixture and placed them on the griddle, flipping the once they browned a bit.
When I served them the kids couldn't believe they were eating chocolate peanut butter French toast for breakfast. They're eyes were wide and they smiles were huge. They took their first bites and our dining room was filled with "Yum!" and "Wow!" and "Yay, chocolate!"
I thought this was delicious too and look forward to making it again as a special treat. I didn't serve them with any syrup and we all agreed it wasn't missed. I was happy to see they were just as good when they cooled off and thought it might be fun to try to mix the chocolate with marshmallows one day. We've added this to our brunch and celebration menu list and can't wait to make this again soon.
Click here for the full recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate French Toast
No syrup necessary for these skillet-grilled French toast sandwiches! They're filled with a luscious, melty mixture of honey, peanut butter and chocolate.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Last Saturday evening a friend called when she encountered a terrible surprise while pulling out the lawn furniture. Nestled in the back of the dark shed was a dead cat. On closer flashlight inspection there seemed to be kittens still nursing on Mama. Only one out of four stirred. The rest were stiff like Mom. Their three week old littermate cried. She was ice cold, struggling to breathe. With a bottle feeder lined up, the swaddled kitten atop a hot water bottle was rushed to the emergency hospital. There would be no happy ending. The kitten was too far gone so the vet humanely put her to sleep.
Thisfeline family tragedy didn't have to happen. With Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) and proper management of a colony (which includes removing the friendly cats and kittens into an adoption program) these kittens would never have been born. Mama may have been spared her agony too. Did she succumb to sickness, injury or lack of sustenance? Ultimately it doesn't matter. Ferals are not a cat-caused problem, but a human one, calling for a compassionate, comprehensive and often cooperative solution.
Feeding the cats is not enough. Calling yourself an animal lover doesn't suffice. To provide strays nourishment without spaying and neutering only leads to overpopulation and suffering. Cats replicate themselves at geometric proportion. When the source of additional kittens is a cat caretaker who doesn't alter, as suspected in this case, diplomacy and offers of TNR assistance will sometimes be convincing. If not, the cats need to be helped from a remote location.
TNR works. The alternatives do not. "Trap and kill" in a habitat where cats are known to be dumped is a temporary and cruel fix. A new cat crew will fill the vacuum. Stopping the food source doesn't make strays move away. The cats subsist on whatever they find, even bugs, forage closer to houses and still reproduce unhealthy offspring. Neither total rescue nor relocation is a plausible method. Relocation is an iffy process. There are no homes for adult ferals while true feline sanctuaries are few and full. "Take 'em for a ride; out of sight out of mind" is miles from the ethical answer; as is indifference.
Time for a reality check. According to the vets and rescuers of the LI Cat Project (www.licp.org), "in feral cats, statistically half the kittens die shortly after birth; of the remaining surviving kittens, 70% will die before they reach six months of age. They die of starvation, illness and abandonment. They endure prolonged suffering and die a slow unmerciful death. For this reason we spay ferals in early pregnancies. TheLICP will not spay to term mothers if a care giver will foster her to have her kittens in captivity, who are then adopted. The mother is spayed and returned to her colony."
To add to the problem, kittens are born seasonally usually from April into November with the biggest surplus exploding in late summer. By that time, everyone has kittens for adoption while the list of prospective homes waiting has been exhausted. Warm weather coincides with the female's heat cycle. During the season a female cat can go into heat every 2 or 3 weeks, and a nursing cat can become pregnant again. Typically, cats are pregnant for 65 days, so a cat can conceivably have three litters in one kitten season.
Mother Nature adheres to a tight schedule of fertility. In 2009, Last Hope hosted a free mass TNR day on March 1 where 93 cats were spayed or neutered. Only a few of the females were pregnant. This year a similar TNR clinic was held on March 21… exactly three weeks later, where about 75 of the 103 were female, and almost every one was pregnant. See "Pets" Mar. 31 (archived under "Columnists" at www.amityvillerecord.com).
The common goal of all stakeholders, pro and anti-cat, is to cut down on the feral cat population. Last month Babylon Town hosted another TNR seminar open to the public. Chris Elton, Babylon Shelter director, spoke about how ferals are a community concern. Therefore, it is important to set up communication between the volunteers, neighbors, business owners and employees to avoid "cat fights" and instead work together. Joan Phillips, president of the Animal Lovers League (www.animalloversleague. us) in Glen Cove while outlining a working TNR model stressed that "the volunteer army must present themselves as the answer rather than the enemy." Then Phillips advised, "You need a plan. The bigger the colony, the bigger the plan."
If you are new to caring for ferals, the task may seem overwhelming. There are organizations and programs ready to guide you. On the national level, Alley Cat Allies (www.alleycat.org) and Neighborhood Cats (www.neighborhoodcats.org) are excellent tutorials. Locally, the LI Cat Project updates a complete list of free and low cost spay/neuter services, traps, rescue groups and advice. Animal Lovers League offers free mass TNR days throughout the year. The next Last Hope free clinic will be in the fall, but the group's Fix-A-Feral certificate program which cuts the altering price in half at participating vets is in effect now. Visit www.lasthopeanimalrescue. org or call 631-425-1884 for details.
Despite what some folks think, municipal shelters do not pick up stray cats unless they are injured. Ear tips are the universal IDs of altered ferals. Since some cats are allowed to roam, it is hard to tell which tame ones are owned. Thankfully, many town shelters will not take in trapped feral adults for adoption or euthanasia. And then there is misguided North Hempstead contributing to the feral overload because the shelter is the only LI one that will not accept any cats for adoption even socialized kittens or friendly beauties from the old lady who died. Their promised cat shelter never materialized. Instead they pay a well-known exterminator $200 per feral to do TNR. Each town is allowed different cat intake policies because cats are not covered under NYS law in the same way dogs are.
If you or your ferals are residents of Babylon Town, the shelter (631-643-9270) lends out Have-Heart traps for TNR with a deposit plus offers $50 vouchers ( no added charges) for spay/neuter at a cooperating animal hospital. Chris Elton, an advocate of TNR, is willing to speak to groups/ landlords as a feral good will ambassador. I'd call him our "Kat Kissinger" but he thinks that title is a bit extreme.
For Adoption at Babylon Town Shelter Lamar St. W. Babylon: "Winnie" #20248 and her tabby sister are young cats that a tenant left behind while "Tigger" in Cage 16 is the current brindle Pit mix gentleman. He is a mellow fellow. "Rocky" in Cage 13 is another Pit who seems to "get along with others" well.

Agent Spotlight: Jan Radosevich
September 22, 2012
Jan Radosevich has 32 years experience in real estate and has worked in Summit County since 1978. She is a broker with Re/Max Properties of the Summit located at 220 S. Main St. in downtown Breckenridge. You can reach her at (970) 389-2525 or online at http://www.BreckenridgeMountainRealty.com.
Q: Where did you grow up? Billings, Mont., my family moved to metro Denver when I was in junior high school. I went to college and graduate school at Colorado State University. Q: What do you love about Summit County? I love that it is a small community with the big city perks – we have two orchestras in Breckenridge, great entertainment and a multitude of festivals and activities all year long. And, of course, our mountains. Q: What do you enjoy doing when you're not working? Travelling is my passion, but I also enjoy hiking, cross-country skiing, gardening, photography, cooking and entertaining. Hopefully, some day, I will find the time to play golf. Q: How long have you worked in real estate? Since 1980. I began by working on the development of Grandview at Breckenridge, the county's first employee housing project. Q: What is your specialty? My specialty is that I enjoy people. I enjoy working with the first-time homeowner to the buyer that has several luxury homes. I also enjoy working with sellers, as selling your home can sometimes be very stressful in today's buyer's market. Q: What is the most gratifying aspect of what you do? It is back to working with people. Every transaction is unique and especially in recent years dealing with short sales, foreclosures and tough new lending requirements. It takes skill, negotiation and finesse to close the deal and have all parties happy. Q: What is the most unique property you've listed or sold? Currently, I have a gold mine listed in the Buckskin Joe Mining District for $85,000. It is a patented mining claim just shy of 10 acres. Q: What are the top three things that separate you from your competitors? 1. My wealth of local knowledge from living here for 34 years. 2 I am honest to a fault. 3. I am here for my clients before, during and after the sale. Q: What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home? I feel that it is most important for a buyer or seller to be working with a knowledgeable broker that you trust and have a good rapport with. Q: What do you see in the future for real estate sales/prices? Our Summit County market is skipping along at the bottom of the market still with some dips, but also with price increases in a few areas. The good news is that sales are up countywide by 14 percent from the same time a year ago. In addition, our inventory of housing supply has decreased and interest rates are remaining at unprecedented lows. Who doesn't want to vacation or live in Summit County? I am optimistic for a gradually improving market. Q: Why should someone choose you as their real estate broker? I don't only hear, I listen to what a buyer wants. I put my education, knowledge and experience to work to help satisfy the buyer's or seller's needs. I remain friends with many clients long after the sale is completed. Q: Is there anything else you woould like to tell us about yourself? I have a talented, beautiful daughter Katy, who has grown up in this wonderful community and is now in college. She is my pride and joy. When I first arrived in Breckenridge and worked as a town planner, I succeeded in getting the Breckenridge Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Now I am lucky enough to live in the historic district and love walking everywhere. ULLR Fest is my favorite local holiday.Jan Radosevich was selected as this week's Agent Spotlight in Summit Homes & Properties. Radosevich was asked to provide information to a standard set of questions designed to help the reader learn more about her.

Severe Weather in Michigan
by Chuck Gaidica
In the past few months we have seen devastating tornado outbreaks and flooding across the southern United States. Michigan had plenty of thunderstorms, but nothing like the killer storms down south.
Weather coverage has emerged as one of the top reasons why people watch local television news. We in the forecasting business have known for a long time that weather is one of the few things to affect everybody, everyday.
Here in Michigan, we have a unique challenge. We have to forecast the weather with the same tools and forecast models as other meteorologists in the country, but we get the added challenge of the Great Lakes. These wonderful bodies of fresh water help to create and divert weather patterns. Most of us associate lake effect with enhanced snowfall, but the Great Lakes can also have an impact on temperature patterns, wind direction and more.
This time of the year our focus shifts to thunderstorm development and severe weather. Tornadoes and their potential for destruction are of great concern. We live in a state with active, severe weather patterns. In fact we live on the northern fringe of what is called "tornado alley."
Even though tornado alley is a phrase usually used to describe parts of the mid-south, Midwest, plains and Ohio valley, the statistics show Michigan (especially southern-lower Michigan) can also be filled with tornado activity.
According to the National Weather Service, Michigan averages 16 tornadoes per year. Since 1950, every one of Michigan's 83 counties has experienced at least one tornado. The peak season for tornadoes in Michigan is April through August. Although tornadoes can occur at any time of day, they usually strike between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., which is usually the peak of daytime heating, often an ingredient in the storm development process. The average tornado in Michigan is on the ground for less than 10 minutes and travels about five miles.
But there are exceptions. A large tornado that struck Louisiana and Mississippi in April was on the ground for nearly 159 miles and approached a width of two miles. That would be like a tornado staying on the ground in Michigan from Detroit to Mt. Pleasant, carving a path of destruction nearly two miles wide. It is hard to imagine, but it happened.
A tornado is produced by a severe thunderstorm. A complicated bunch of ingredients come together to create a violent, rotating wind that extends from a thunderstorm. It is not uncommon for the rotation to start horizontally along the ground and extend vertically into the thunderstorm cell.
If this rotating column of air doesn't touch the ground it is called a funnel cloud. If it touches the ground it becomes a tornado. If it touches water, it is called a water spout.
Any of the above, whether seen in person or spotted on radar, are enough for the National Weather Service to issue a tornado warning.
A tornado watch is issued when conditions are "right" for tornadoes in and around the watch area. You get the most lead time with a watch. Many times the sky is still blue when a tornado watch is issued, but this is a time to keep your eye on the sky.
A tornado warning is issued when a tornado has been spotted on radar or in person. A warning requires immediate action. Tornadoes generally travel at 30 mph but have been known to move as fast as 70 mph.
When you hear of a warning from the media or local sirens sound, it is time to seek shelter. You should move quickly indoors and go to the lowest, centermost part of your home or building, preferably a basement. Stay away from outside walls and windows. Tornadoes are intense areas of low pressure. That means along with ferocious winds, the storm itself can cause damage just because of the relative pressure difference inside your home.
One effective way to receive warnings is through a battery powered NOAA Weather Radio with an alert function, which can receive alerts from the National Weather Service. They are available from several manufacturers and sell for about $30.
We see video on television and the web of people with a camera getting stills or video of severe storms. If you are close enough to record a storm or tornado on camera, you are in the wrong place. You need to get to a safe and sturdy part of the house and fast!
Even when we take cover, and the storms pass with little trouble, there can be a cost.
In 2009, Michigan had the quietest severe weather season since Doppler radar came into wide use in our state. Even though the season was quiet on average, a few key storm events cost us plenty. They weren't tornadoes but they were expensive storms. Flood damage in Michigan for 2009 cost us nearly $77 million dollars, while damage from severe storms cost us another $150 million dollars.

Beyond the type of buttons available with an input method, you should specify behaviors such as whether the input method provides spelling suggestions, capitalizes new sentences, and replaces the carriage return button with an action button such as a Done or Next . This lesson shows how to specify these characteristics.

Straight left lines create different moods and add affection to visual arts. A line's angle and its relationship to the size of the frame influence the mood of the image. Horizontal lines, commonly found in landscape photography , can give the impression of calm, tranquility, and space. An image filled with strong vertical lines tends to have the impression of height and grandeur. Tightly angled convergent lines give a dynamic, lively, and active effect to the image. Strongly angled, almost diagonal lines produce tension in the image. The viewpoint of visual art is very important because every different perspective views different angled lines. This change of perspective elicits a different response to the image. By changing the perspective only by some degrees or some centimetres lines in images can change tremendously and a totally different feeling can be transported. Straight lines are also strongly influenced by tone, color, and repetition in relation to the rest of the image.
Compared to straight lines, curves provide a greater dynamic influence in a picture. They are also generally more aesthetically pleasing, as the viewer associates them with softness. In photography, curved lines can give graduated shadows when paired with soft-directional lighting, which usually results in a very harmonious line structure within the image.
There are three properties of color. Hue, brightness, and value. Hue is simply the name of a color, (red, yellow, and blue, etc.) Brightness refers to the intensity and strength of the color. The lightness and darkness to a color is the value. Color also has the ability to work within our emotions. Given that, we can use color to create mood. It can also be used as tone, pattern, light, movement, symbol, form, harmony, and contrast.

Texture refers to how an object feels or how it looks like it may feel if it were touched. There are two ways we experience texture, physically and optically. Different techniques can be used to create physical texture, which allows qualities of visual art to be seen and felt. This can include surfaces such as metal, sand, and wood. Optical texture is when the illusion of physical texture is created. Photography, paintings, and drawings use visual texture to create a more realistic appearance. [3]
Lightness and darkness is what creates value in visual art. Value deals with how light reflects off of objects and how we see it. The more light, the higher the value. White is the highest or lightest value while black is the lowest or darkest value. Colors also have value, for example, yellow has a high value while blue has a low value. This is a very important element of design, especially in painting and drawing, to be able to create the illusion of light with contrast. Contrast is needed to understand two-dimensional artwork.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the shooting death of Danroy "DJ" Henry, the Pace University student from Easton Massachusetts. Since the shooting, Henry's death has continued to stir controversy on a number of levels that go well beyond this single incident. In a special series, DJ Henry and the Training of Police, WGBH's Phillip Martin explores the death of a college student and the system of training that may have contributed to it.
BOSTON — In the living room of his parent's home in Easton, Massachusetts, Brandon Cox holds a weathered photo of his high school friend, Danroy "DJ" Henry. They met during Brandon's freshman year. DJ was a sophomore. Their families meshed and the boys gelled over hip hop, old-school R&B, movies and especially football.
"Everything we did we kinda had that bond between us that not everybody really could understand," said Cox.
After graduation, both headed to college. DJ settled on Pace University in Pleasantville, N.Y. in Westchester County. Brandon studied closer to home at Stonehill College. Both played football and competed against each other in a much-anticipated homecoming game last October 16, 2010, said Cox.
"We ended up beating them pretty soundly. After the game we all came together and both our families went out to eat and it was just like being back home, just like high school again. All our families together, having a meal and just enjoying each other's company," Cox said.
That night, Brandon Cox went back to DJ's rental unit, played video games and then headed out on the town. They ended up at Finnegan's, a popular bar and grill located in a strip mall, between a Chinese restaurant and a bank.
"They had a DJ in the back and they had cleared the floor to make like a dance floor. He was introducing me to people he knew from school and all of that. I didn't see the incident that caused them to shut everything down, but they were shutting it down and telling people to leave so we said, 'Let's get out of here,'" Brandon said.
DJ and four friends had arrived together in a Nissan Altima. He and Brandon Cox idled outside the bar waiting for the three remaining friends to pile in. Police had been called to the bar by the owner to quell a disturbance that, by all accounts, had nothing to do with the five boys. A crowd had gathered outside and police moved in to break it up. What happened next is to many still a very disturbing mystery.
Here's how Cox explained it.
"So we're in the car, and DJ had kind of got out to look for the guys. And when he came back he only came back with one of them, Desmond, so we were still in the car waiting for the other guys and we hear a loud tap on the window and it kind of startled us. The tap came again and we looked up to see that it was a police officer," Cox said.
And the officer instructed the driver to move along, said Cox.
"So DJ put the car into drive and starts to drive away. And as we come around the corner an officer with his gun raised runs between two police cars that were on the side of us and runs in front of the vehicle with his gun raised and as DJ starts to slow down, he opens fire and then the car speeds back up because there are bullets coming through the front windshield. And I had felt something hit my arm and I wasn't sure what it was and look out of the corner of my eye and I can see the police officer on the hood firing into the car from the hood of the car," Cox said.
The officer who fired the shots was 33-year-old Aaron Hess, a former U.S. Marine who served seven years on the Pleasantville police force after an initial stint as a cop in Manhattan. Hess's attorney, Mitchell Baker, said his client recalls the incident quite differently.
"Mr. Henry was driving his automobile. He was directed by Officer Hess to stop his automobile," Baker said.
According to Baker, Hess had four choices. "If he went to the left he'd get hit. If he went to the right he'd get hit. If he went backwards, he'd get run over. So what his training taught him was to jump on the hood of the car. Mr. Henry was further directed to stop his car. He did not, and that's when the shots were had," Baker said.
Chaoes reigned in the aftermath of the shooting, as Pace University students and others rushed to help their friend DJ who, according to multiple witnesses, though severely wounded, had been pulled from the car and thrown to the ground by police.
"When we left our son about 6:00 p.m. Saturday evening, we hugged him we kissed him, we took a picture of him," recalls Angella Henry, DJ Henry's mom. "When we saw him 12 hours later, he had scratches and bruises on his face that don't comport with a gunshot wound to the chest. So we know he was treated poorly."
Angella Henry and her husband Danroy Henry Sr. were notified of their son's death by two Easton, Massachusetts police officers, who arrived at their door in the early morning hours. They rushed to Westchester County Medical Center where Brandon Cox's mother Donna and stepfather Tommy Parks were waiting. Also at the hospital was Officer Aaron Hess, whose knee had been injured during the incident. Dozens of fellow officers were milling around his room, said Cox's father, Tommy Parks.
"He seemed to be in good spirits. He was lifted up off of what I believe was a wheel chair and he lifted up to talk to an officer. He just didn't seem bothered the way that we were. We were in total shock," Parks said.
Four months later, in February 2011, a grand jury did not indict Officer Hess. The Westchester District Attorney's office released a statement that read the grand jury "found there was no reasonable cause to vote an indictment."
In the summer of 2011, hip-hop stars Kanye West and Jay-Z released the chart-topping album "Watch The Throne." The centerpiece of the album is the song "Murder To Excellence," dedicated to Henry.

In April, Officer Hess received an award as Policeman of the Year from the Pleasantville Police Benevolent Association.
And, for much of the past 12 months, questions have been raised about the case and about other cases. The legal process, gathering evidence, the political relationships between the district attorney and the local police force, and the overall treatment of blacks by white officers.
It raises questions about police training and responses to perceived danger, and whether such perceptions of danger are colored by race. Aaron Hess is white. Danroy Henry black.
In our next report, we'll look at what might have prevented the DJ Henry tragedy and a subsequent case in Framingham with many similar issues.

Last year marked the "twentieth anniversary" of AIDS, a grim occasion, to say the least, that put major US newspapers in an unenviable predicament. Any assessment of the epidemic was bound to be an indictment, and not the sort we generally like to read about, in which the guilty are few and absolutely so, and the innocent many and untainted. Any writer willing to connect the dots would conclude that the systemic political response to AIDS has been a signal failure. While the advent of antiretroviral therapy has dramatically lowered the number of AIDS-related deaths in Western nations (in the United States from over 51,000 in 1995 to just over 15,000 in 2001), the vast majority of HIV-positive people now live in the developing world and have little or no access to treatment. In the United States, AIDS is the leading cause of death among young black men, and racial minorities account for more than 70 percent of new infections. The current demographics of AIDS, marked as they are by severe economic and racial inequality, were not preordained. AIDS is a preventable and treatable disease, and it exists as it does because it was allowed to unfold this way, through the same kind of gross political negligence that permitted the disease to become an epidemic in the first place.
Into this damning context rushed the most beguiling of narratives, one that began with "How AIDS Changed____" and, with minor variations, depending on what filled the blank (pick one: America, New York, San Francisco, Art, Literature, Medicine, Culture, Sex), presented AIDS as both a natural and redemptive phenomenon. We couldn't really do anything about the fact that people got AIDS and died from it (and still do), so the story went, but it sure made us better writers, artists, doctors, scientists, philanthropists, a better and more humane people. This is hypocrisy and denial at its most pathetic and, because it instills a sense of powerlessness and feckless optimism, at its most dangerous. It is precisely in this moment of danger that reading one of the AIDS movement's most prolific and astute writers is vital–as diagnosis, to begin with, and, may I suggest, as political curative too.
Trained as an art critic and historian, Douglas Crimp edited the 1988 anthology AIDS: Cultural Analysis/Cultural Activism and co-wrote (with Adam Rolston) 1990's AIDS Demo Graphics, an account of ACT UP's activism through its graphic propaganda. Groundbreaking books, they started, along with Cindy Patton's Sex and Germs: The Politics of AIDS and Simon Watney's Policing Desire: Pornography, AIDS and the Media, the still-small field of AIDS scholarship and made key contributions to cultural studies, queer theory and science studies.
Melancholia and Moralism, however, marks the first time that Crimp's own writings on AIDS have been collected in a single volume. Crimp's essays, composed over the past fourteen years, many during the late 1980s and early '90s, when he was a member of ACT UP and editor of the journal October, were intended as immediate political and intellectual interventions. Individually many merit rereading today. Consider, for example, Crimp's critique of the art world's early response to AIDS:
Within the arts, the scientific explanation and management of AIDS is largely taken for granted, and it is therefore assumed that cultural producers can respond to the epidemic in only two ways: by raising money for scientific research and service organizations or by creating works that express the human suffering and loss.
Crimp's concern then was that the very ability of representations of AIDS to raise money and generate publicity were predicated on the extent to which the disease itself was depoliticized, sanitized, deracinated from its social and political conditions. Now consider the recent Bono-led, all-star benefit recording of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," a glossy production so detached from the actual experiences of people with AIDS in the Global South that half the profits were diverted without protest to United Way's September 11th Fund. When AIDS charities are big business and global AIDS a cause célèbre, Crimp's admonition against a form of "aesthetic idealism that…blandly accepts art's inability to intervene in the social world and simultaneously praises its commodity value" ought to be heeded and amplified.

Squatina argentina
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Squatina argentina (Marini, 1930)
Common Name(s):
Rhina argentina Marini, 1930
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|Stelbrink, B., von Rintelen, T., Cliff, G. and Kriwet, J. 2010. Molecular systematics and global phylogeography of angel sharks (genus Squatina). Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 54: 395-404.
|Taxonomic Notes:
|There is some controversy concerning the nomenclature of angel sharks in southern Brazil. Vooren and Silva (1991) synonymized S. punctata with S. guggenheim. Soto (2001), in a checklist of sharks of Brazil, states that the reference in Vooren and Silva (1991) to the occurrence in Brazil of Squatina guggenheim Marini, 1936 is in fact a reference to Squatina punctata Marini, 1936, and that the description of Squatina occulta Vooren & Silva, 1991 is a reference to Squatina guggenheim as originally described by Marini (1936), but no evidence is presented to justify these statements. Furtado-Neto and Carr (2002), through the study of mitochondrial DNA, suggested the existence in southern Brazil of three species of the genus Squatina: S. argentina (Marini, 1930), S. guggenheim Marini, 1936 and S. occulta Vooren & Silva, 1991. Compagno (in prep.) follows the nomenclature of Soto (2001).
In acknowledgement of these issues, the IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group has prepared assessments for all nominal Southwest Atlantic Squatina species: S. argentina, S. punctata, S. occulta and S. guggenheim. The validity and occurrence of S. argentina is generally agreed upon.

Preface: In acknowledgment of unresolved and controversial taxonomic and nomenclatural issues, the IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group has assessed all nominal Southwest Atlantic Squatina species, until such time as agreement is reached on these issues (see taxonomy section for further details). Assessed species are: longfin or Argentine angel shark Squatina argentina (Marini, 1930); spiny angel shark Squatina guggenheim Marini, 1936; shortfin angel shark Squatina occulta Vooren & Silva, 1991; and, angular angel shark Squatina punctata Marini, 1936. However, in the case of S. argentina, the validity and occurrence of the species is generally agreed upon.
Squatina argentina was assessed as Data Deficient globally on the 2000 Red List. It is updated here due to better information and evidence of declines for Brazil.
Squatina argentina is endemic to the Southwest Atlantic from Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil (32°S) through Uruguay to northern Patagonia, Argentina (43°S) on the outer shelf and upper slope generally at 120 to 320 m. The species' low reproductive potential (litter size of 7 to 11 and female breeding cycle at least biennial) together with its vulnerability to both trawl and gillnet gear make it highly susceptible to population depletion. Angel sharks are heavily fished in southern Brazil and significant declines have been documented there. Annual catches of angel shark from the southern Brazil continental shelf peaked at about 2,000 t in 1986 to 1989 and again in 1993, and then decreased to 900 t in 2003. Angel shark CPUE by otter and pair trawl on the continental shelf decreased by about 85% from 1984 to 2002. Research trawl surveys of the outer shelf in the years 1986/87 and 2001/02 confirmed that in southern Brazil the abundance of S. argentina has decreased to 15% of its original level and this is attributed to recruitment overfishing. In the trawl and gillnet fishery for the monkfish Lophius gastrophysus at the shelf edge and upper slope, S. occulta and S. argentina have been significant bycatch species, indicating that there has also been considerable pressure at the shelf edge and on the slope for S. argentina. Additionally, an angel shark bottom gillnet fishery on the outer shelf commenced around 1990 and at present large amounts of angel shark is caught this way. In Uruguay and Argentina the species is uncommon in commercial landings but its distribution and abundance have not been well studied. Due to the presence of trawl and other demersal fisheries throughout the range of the species and the documented reduction of angel shark stocks due to intensive fishing off southern Brazil, an assessment of Endangered is warranted across its Southwest Atlantic distribution. The conservation status of the species will rely heavily upon the success of a recently developed management plan for the southern Brazil gillnet monkfish fishery.

|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Squatina argentina is a bottom-dwelling shark of smooth sandy and muddy grounds on the outer shelf and upper slope at depths of 120 to 320 m, at temperatures of 14 to 16°C, but has also been sporadically recorded to 50 m (Vooren and Silva 1991, Vooren 1997).
Maximum size is 138 cm TL; size at maturity ~120 cm TL for both sexes (Silva 1996). Aplacental yolksac viviparous with two functional ovaries. Fecundity is 7 to 11 embryos per litter (Vooren and Silva 1991), with most females carrying 9 or 10 young. The breeding cycle of the female lasts at least two years.

The nocturnal habits of angel sharks render them vulnerable to bottom gillnets, and increases in captures during the 1990s are attributed to the introduction of this gear on the shelf and slope off southern Brazil at that time. Gillnets were reported as six times more effective at catching angel sharks than trawling alone (Vooren and Klippel 2005). A low rate of dispersal between angel shark populations makes them especially prone to local depletion and means that recolonisation will be extremely low.
Fishery landing statistics of "angel shark" in southern Brazil refer to S. guggenheim, S. occulta and S. argentina combined. The term "angel shark" in the present assessment refers to this assemblage of species. These three species occur on the continental shelf with S. argentina and S. occulta also occurring on the upper slope. Annual catches of angel shark from the continental shelf peaked at about 2,000 t in 1986 to 1989 and again in 1993, and then decreased to 900 t in 2003. Angel shark CPUE by otter trawl and pair trawl on the continental shelf decreased by about 85% from 1984 to 2002 (Miranda and Vooren 2003, CEPERG 2003, GEP/CTTMar 2003). In the trawl and gillnet fishery for monkfish Lophius gastrophysus at the shelf edge and upper slope, S. occulta and S. argentina have been significant bycatch species, indicating that there is also considerable pressure on the outer shelf and slope for S. argentina. Additionally, an angel shark bottom gillnet fishery on the outer shelf commenced around 1990 and at present large amounts of angel shark are caught this way (Miranda and Vooren 2003). Research trawl surveys of the outer shelf in the years 1986/87 and 2001/02 confirmed that in southern Brazil the abundance of S. argentina has decreased to 15% of its original level and this is attributed to recruitment overfishing primarily due to the bottom gillnet fishery (Vooren and Lamónaca 2002, Vooren and Klippel 2005). Perez and Warhlich (2005) noted that Squatina argentina was one of the most retained bycatch species in the gillnet monkfish fishery, with bycatch estimated at 1.052 per 100 nets in 2001 (total 8,698 individuals), and these authors suggest that this is unlikely to be sustainable for the species.
At present there is no evidence of the existence of abundant populations of the species outside southern Brazil. In Uruguay and Argentina the species is uncommon in commercial landings but its distribution and abundance have not been studied. In Argentina, angel shark landings have shown a negative trend since a peak in 1998 (Massa et al. 2004), but landings apparently consist almost entirely of S. guggenheim. In Uruguay there is little direct fishing for angel sharks, but they are taken as bycatch in industrial and artisanal fisheries. The estimated capture has been 300 to 400 MT per year since 1997. There are no statistics by species, but the largest captures probably correspond to S. guggenheim and S. argentina (A. Domingo pers. comm). While most information is available from Brazil, trawl and other demersal fisheries operate over the species' area of occurrence, exerting fishing pressure across both the latitudinal and bathymetrical range of the species.
|Conservation Actions:
Since 1992 there is a Maximum Permitted Catch (MPC) for angel sharks in Argentina which was 6,000 MT in the years 1995 to 1999 and thereafter was reduced to 4,000 MT (Massa et al. 2003).
In Brazil there is no control of the shelf angel shark fishery, and although trawling in inshore waters is prohibited, enforcement of this regulation is difficult. A management plan was developed for the gillnet monkfish fishery in 2002 and approved in June 2005. Foreign chartered fishing vessels were unauthorized to operate after October 2002 and an annual TAC of 1,500 t and an effort limitation of nine vessels implemented for the domestic fleet. Further management arrangements included a permanent VMS tracking system, 100% observer coverage, logbooks and a ban on fishing shallower than 250 m. Furthermore, two no-take zones were implemented, one in the southern and the other in the northern sections of the fishing area (Perez et al. 2002, Perez pers. comm). The conservation status of this species will rely heavily upon the success of these management arrangements. Full observer coverage onboard domestic vessels should provide accurate monitoring of trends in the future.

PARKERSBURG - The top ranked Highlanders of Huntington dominated the field and returned to Cabell County with their third straight MSAC title on Saturday as Ripley finished third overall.
The top five (team) finishers from the field of 13 were Huntington (253), Parkersburg (180), Ripley (142.5) George Washington (110) and Winfield (105).
The Vikings were shorthanded out of the gate as No.2 state ranked Lucas Simpkins (126) was unable to participate due to a temporary illness.
Ripley was still able to crown four grapplers at Parkersburg's Memorial Fieldhouse. Austin Hileman (132), Preston Martin (152), Greg Medina (195) and Heavyweight Daryl Hicks all earned conference titles on this snowy Saturday.
Hileman didn't wrestle at Fairmont last month due to illness and Ripley coach Matt Smith was pleased with how he bounced back.
"He really wrestled well all day and was able to come out on top versus a tough kid in Parkersburg's Trapper Hays."
No. 3 (state rankings) Jake Martin (138) dropped a tough OT final match to No.2 ranked Billy Waldeck of Huntington, 7-5.
Ripley's top MSAC ranked (170) Nate Starkey fell in a heartbreaking final to Cabell Midland's Nick Boone, 2-1.
Viking heavyweight Daryl Hicks (285) put a stamp on his No. 1 state ranking by dismantling Huntington's Tony Kitts in the finals, 5-0.
In one of the bizarre stories of the day, Ripley's Antonio Jones (120) had to endure two tough calls that didn't go his way on the mats. Viking head coach Matt Smith was issued a warning for questioning the first of the calls in which he didn't even leave his seat.
Jones finished fourth after losing by fall to George Washington's David Pancake.
"We had two weeks off due to the weather and we really needed to get back to work. I think that for us, it is just a matter of fine tuning the little things at this point in the season. I was pleased with our effort and our attitude. We had some disappointments today but it is all in how we respond to a quality Point Pleasant team this Friday," said Smith.
The Outstanding MSAC Wrestler was Jake Smith of George Washington and the MSAC Coach of Year is Chris Way of Parkersburg.
Ripley travels to Point Pleasant on Friday providing Mother Nature doesn't blanket the county with snow, once again..

Polka dot one seam skirt
Added Oct 10, 2012
London, United K...
This skirt only has one seam going up the back, so was a really satisfying, quick make. I made it using a vintage pattern from 1952 – Simplicity 3983 – and hardly made any changes at all. I increased the waistband by 1.5 inches and shortened it by 8 inches to give it a more modern look. The fabric is a polka dot corduroy and, although the pattern doesn't specify it, I added a lining which makes it much easier to wear with tights in colder weather! More photos and construction details on my blog
Material Notes
Main skirt, corduroy, satin lining, Petersham ribbon on inside waistband

Arkansas State football player Markel Owens shot and killed
Arkansas State defensive lineman Markel Owens was shot and killed in a home invasion in Jackson, Tenn., on Wednesday night.
According to the Jackson Sun, Johnny Shivers, Owens' stepfather, was arriving home when he was forced inside the apartment by two armed men. The men demanded money, and a struggle ensued between the armed men, Shivers and Owens. Both Owens and Shivers were shot during the incident, and then the gunmen shot Owens' mother.
Owens and Shivers died as a result of their wounds. Owens' mother was treated and released from the hospital.
No arrests have been made.
Markel was a three-year letterman at Arkansas State and had just completed his redshirt junior season in 2013.
"Markel was a part of our Red Wolves family, and it is obvious he was a well-liked and respected member of our team who will be missed," head coach Blake Anderson said in a statement. "We are doing everything possible to comfort his teammates, and we extend our compassion to his family during this difficult time."
The 21-year-old Owens played in 11 games for the Red Wolves last season, helping Arkansas State (8-5) to at least a share of its third straight Sun Belt Conference title and a second straight win in the GoDaddy Bowl.
The 6-foot-2, 303-pound native of Jackson, Tenn., would have been a senior next season.

Kansas State Student-Athlete Spotlight: Shane Conlon
March 21, 2014
Big 12 Campus Correspondent
The 2013 baseball season was a standout year for K-State first baseman Shane Conlon.
The Naperville, Ill., native ended his redshirt sophomore season ranked second in the Big 12 with 56 runs scored, third with 125 total bases, and tied for the team-lead with seven home runs and 25 multi-hit games. He also registered two 15-game hitting streaks, the first of which he batted .450 and drove in 13 runs to start the season.
By the end of K-State's historical postseason run in 2013, Conlon claimed two honors: All-Big 12 First Team and All-Manhattan Regional Team.
Conlon's impressive season was just the boost he needed after coming off of an injury that caused him to miss the majority of the 2012 season.
"My sophomore year, I had surgery on my elbow," said Conlon. "To get back in time for the [2013] season I had a shorter recovery process to just try and play first base and hit, instead of trying to get back on the mound. That was the easiest way, and my best option to get back out there."
Due to his great offensive and defensive year in 2013 at first base, Conlon was selected in the 21st round of the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft by the Kansas City Royals, but chose not to sign and return to K-State for his senior season.
"We just got so close last year in the Super Regional at Oregon State. We were one run away from going to Omaha, and it was just too hard for me to deal with. I wanted one more shot at going all the way," said Conlon on why he returned for another season.
Conlon helped the Wildcats win a program-record 45 games, claim their first conference title in 80 years, and advance to their first Super Regional.
"It was just great making history," said Conlon. "You could tell how much the guys on the team wanted to win, and hated to lose. I just think it was awesome to be a part of that and set records for K-State because it has never been done before."
Baseball was not the only motivation behind returning for another season in the Little Apple, as Conlon expressed that the atmosphere K-State has to offer is like no other.
"I love going to football and basketball games. Manhattan is just a great town to live in because there are such good people here. I have been here for four years and there is really no place I have been that is like Manhattan. I think it is the family atmosphere that everyone talks about," Conlon said.
Conlon further explained that he and his roommate and teammate, Ross Kivett, never miss a K-State basketball game. They love being in the atmosphere K-State fans provide.
"I've been living with Ross for four years, and we have always just clicked," said Conlon. "We help each other on the field if we notice something is going wrong. We will talk to each other about it. Playing second base and first base allows us to have pretty good chemistry, which I am sure stems from our off off-the-field friendship as well."
Kivett is a senior second baseman for K-State, who was also drafted after the 2013 season. Kivett was selected by the Cleveland Indians but also decided to return for another year at K-State.
"After living together for so long, our personalities mesh because I am so loud and he's the complete opposite, being soft-spoken and quiet," said Kivett jokingly. "Shane is probably one of the funniest guys on our team because of his dry humor that can get people off their rocker with laughs. I am sure it is much more of a pain to live with me than it is to live with him."
Kivett's decision to return for his senior season after being drafted was influenced by Conlon's decision to stay as well.
"I was happy he decided to come back," said Kivett. "It had a bit of an influence on me, him being my best friend. We came in together, and we are going to go out together. I am just glad he did that for himself and for his family. I know everything will work out for him because of the type of player he is, and the type of person he is."
Kivett raved about Conlon's ability to lead by example, saying he is the best hitting coach when assistant coach Mike Clement has his hands full with the rest of the offense. Head coach Brad Hill felt the same way concerning Conlon's ability to lead.
"Shane is a quiet leader for us," said Hill. "He is a guy that goes about his business, does everything right and when he does speak, people listen. He's got the respect of our players. He plays the game hard, he is very unselfish, and he is an encourager. He has some of the traits you look for in a leader. He's been a vital cog in our ballclub, particularly in the last two years."
As the 2014 season is underway, K-State started off losing seven of its first eight games, but since has improved their record to 7-7. Those early struggles did not seem to shake Conlon's confidence.
"I know we have had a bad start, but it is going to turn around," said Conlon. "I am looking forward to looking back on this and remembering where we were, because I know it is going to start happening for us, and things are going to click. We are going to look back shocked that we started 1-7. It happens, but it is over now."

Ten Common Myths About Diabetes
Spring 2011
Here are ten of the most well-known misconceptions about diabetes and the facts to dispell them.
Misconception 1: Overeating Sugar Causes Diabetes
What makes diabetes happen? The reasons are certainly not totally understood. What's known is that simply overeating sugar isn't likely to cause diabetes. Instead, diabetes begins when something disrupts your capacity to turn foods into energy.
To know what goes on when you've got diabetes, keep these things in your mind: Your system reduces a lot of foods into glucose, a sort of sugar necessary to power your cells. A hormone called insulin is created inside the pancreas. Insulin helps cells in your body use glucose for fuel.
Listed below are the most typical forms of diabetes and what researchers know about:
Misconception 2: You Will Find a Lot of Rules Inside a Diabetes Diet
When you have diabetes, you need to plan your diet. However the general principal is not hard: Following a "diabetes diet" means choosing food that may work with your activities and any medications to help keep your glucose levels as near to normalcy as it can be.
Misconception 3: Carbohydrates Could Be Unhealthy for Diabetes
Actually, carbohydrates are great for diabetes. They make up the foundation of a normal diabetes diet.
Carbohydrates possess the greatest impact on blood sugar, and that's why you are required to observe the number of carbohydrates you take in when following a diabetes diet.
Misconception 4: Protein Is Preferable to Carbohydrates for Diabetes
The major problem is always that many foods abundant with protein, for instance meat, can also be full of saturated fats. Overeating those fats increases your risk of cardiovascular disease. Inside a diabetes diet, protein should account for about 15% to 20% of the total calories you take in every day.
Misconception 5: It Is Possible to Adjust Your Diabetes Drugs to "Cover" Anything You Eat
If you are using insulin for your diabetes, you might figure out how to adjust the total amount and type you take to fit the quantity of what you eat. But it doesn't mean you can eat just as much as you desire, then just use more drugs to stabilize your blood glucose level.
Misconception 6: You Will Need to Stop Trying Your Preferred Foods
There's no reason to quit your chosen foods on the diabetes diet.
Misconception 7: You Will Need to Quit Desserts When You Have Diabetes
Not the case! You are able to develop many approaches for including desserts in the diabetes diet. For example:
Misconception 8: Low-Calorie Sweeteners Are Dangerous for Those Who Have Diabetes
Sugar substitutes tend to be sweeter compared to the equivalent volume of sugar, therefore it takes a reduced amount of them to have the same sweetness present in sugar. This will cause eating fewer calories than when you use sugar.
Misconception 9: You Have to Eat Special Diabetic Meals
The real difference from a diabetes diet as well as your family's "normal" weight loss program is this: For those who have diabetes, you should monitor everything you eat a little more closely. Including the quantity of calories you eat and the amounts and varieties of carbohydrates, fats, and protein you take in.
Misconception 10: Diet Foods Are the Most Useful Options for Diabetes
Just because a meal is defined as a "diet" food does not always mean it's a better option for those who have diabetes. In reality, "diet" foods may be expensive and no much healthier than foods found in the "regular" areas of the food store, or foods you prepare yourself.

Ellsworth Robbery Update – Police Release Photos of Getaway Vehicle
Ellsworth police today released photos of the vehicle they believe was used by the man who robbed Key Bank in that town. The man, whose features were completely covered, was seen sitting in this truck outside the bank for quite some time before the robbery happened.
Just before 2 in the afternoon on February 3rd, a man walked into the High Street branch of the bank and demanded money. Pictures from the bank show a man completely covered in black and gray clothing.
The photos released today show a dark-colored pickup truck that police say the suspect used to leave the scene. Police say the truck MAY be lighter in the front than the bed and is either green or black. The vehicle headed up the Bangor road, at least as far as Ellsworth High School, according to detective Dotty Small.
The entire description of the suspect is a white male, approximately six feet all, clean-cut, short light-brown hair, no facial hair or glasses. He was carrying a bright green RYOBI rectangular lunch cooler that looked well-worn, as if he carries his lunch in it to work each day.
Anyone who thinks they may have information is encouraged to call Detective Dotty Small at the Ellsworth Police Department at 669-6699.
