This week, the Blue Jackets started shopping Rick Nash, who has done more for the franchise than anyone outside of the late owner, John H. McConnell.
Nash did not request a trade. Management came to him, and there is the rub.
Granted, Nash suspected they might ask, and he knew the question was loaded. It is like asking for a separation from a partner who has been nothing but staunchly loyal and supremely dedicated.
'Honey, you're terrific, and I love you and all, and you've given me the best years of your life and I appreciate it — but I am thinking about seeing some other people. What do you think?'
"—Dispatch sports reporter Michael Arace, "Special players don't come along often""Columbus is large, smart, textured, complicated, ripe with promise, and yet a little too risk-averse; all in all, a truly splendid place to live. It's small enough that anyone who truly cares to do so can leverage change. What a great place to be, and what a great time to be here."—Denny Griffith, president of Columbus College of Art & Design, on what makes Columbus great.
"For me, what makes Columbus great is that it is a major city with so much to offer, but it has the feel of a small city and makes you feel really comfortable."—Rick Nash, captain of the Columbus Blue Jackets, on what makes Columbus great.
"Look at the zoo. It's the best zoo in the country. Look at Nationwide Children's Hospital. It's one of the finest facilities in the world. How did all of that happen? It's the people. It's the Midwestern values. … People really care about the city. They invest in Columbus."—Jack Hanna, director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, on what makes Columbus great.
"To our immense good fortune, the Ohio State University is located in the heart of Columbus — the center of the state government and home to the world's largest independent research and development organization, Fortune 500 companies, great leadership, premier medical facilities, a vibrant arts community, numerous universities and colleges, and a top-ranked zoo, science center and library system."—Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee, on what makes Columbus great.
"There is so much opportunity to turn small ideas into big ones in Columbus thanks to the (North) Market. We learned a lot along the way from innumerable people who've stopped by our shop there. Customers with business experience offered advice. … OSU dairy-science professors often popped by the counter to give advice and loan me books. … Each interaction over that counter provided honest feedback that helped set the standards by which we continue to do business today."—Jeni Britton Bauer, founder of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, on what makes Columbus great.

Our people truly set us apart."—Archie Griffin, president and chief executive officer of the OSU Alumni Association and two-time Heisman-Trophy winner, on what makes Columbus great.

"The different people. The different nationalities. I tell you, it was a farm town. That's why they're good people. You still get the old-time people, and they talk old-time talk."—Dominic Pulito, 91, World War II veteran and resident of Claremont Retirement Village on the Northwest Side, on what makes Columbus great.
"Columbus is a city of creators, and our ideas, products and the education we provide reach far beyond our borders. … Columbus provides an unparalleled environment for the next generation of creators to write the next chapter in our history. All this, and we've done it without ever losing sight of the values that have always defined our community. In my words: progressive, but with a respect for tradition; honest, inclusive and smart."—Orange Barrel Media owner Pete Scantland, on what makes Columbus great.
"Columbus is unique — a state capital; a top-ranked university; and Battelle, the top private R&D lab in the world. When you add to that the collaborative commitment of our leaders and citizens to stack hands in the spirit of doing good for this community … you've got unmatched opportunities for greatness."—Leslie H. Wexner, founder of Limited Brands, on what makes Columbus great.
"There have been many great political, civic, business, religious and educational leaders that have brought us to where we are today. When you look at the backgrounds of the vast majority of these leaders, they were raised right here in Columbus. They are a testament to the fact that it doesn't matter whether you come from a humble or privileged background, when you seek to improve yourself and your community, the possibilities are endless."—Columbus City Schools superintendent Gene Harris on what makes Columbus great.
"Our proximity to so much of the nation makes us great. But beyond that is the spirit of our city. When I first got here 30 years ago … people called us a cowtown and 'Slowlumbus.' It has become one of the most-vital and -vibrant cities in the U.S. Look at what we've done in German Village, in the Short North, at Easton, at Polaris. Are there still needs in the core part of the city? Certainly. But if you look at what we've done in the last 15 years, our potential is unlimited."—Bishop Timothy Clarke, pastor of First Church of God on the East Side, on what makes Columbus great.
"I came here and saw it in 1970 and fell in love with it. It has everything I could want in a town. It's young, hip, exciting, successful. When I left Congress, people tried to get me to go other places. I'm not going anywhere."—Ohio Gov. John Kasich on what makes Columbus great.

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading consumer electronics maker, announced that it has named two new executives to replace top leadership of its wide-ranging U.S. operations. Matsushita, best known for its Panasonic brand, said it named Yoshihiko "Yoshi" Yamada as chairman and chief executive of Matsushita Electric Corp. of America, which is based in Secaucus, NJ, U.S. He replaces Don Iwatani, who will become executive officer for international affairs in Matsushita Electric's headquarters and also will hold the position of director of the company's Global Strategy Research Institute in Osaka. Mr. Yamada will oversee Panasonic's North America consumer, business-to-business, and industrial component sales, as well as research and development and manufacturing operations. Previously, he had run businesses supplying components to the U.S. computer industry. He rose to become director of the company's personal computer division and oversaw the introduction of Panasonic's line of ToughBook notebooks in the 1990s. In addition, Masaru "Martin" Kono was named president and chief operating officer of Panasonic Consumer Electronics Co. In his new position, Mr. Kono will report directly to Yamada. Mr. Kono previously was executive vice president of Panasonic Automotive Systems Co. of America based in Southfield, MI, U.S. He is replacing Hideatsu "Andy" Takani, who also held his position from 2000. Mr. Takani will return to Japan to become deputy director of Matsushita Electric's Panasonic Corporate Marketing unit. (Reuters)

The incident unfolded as another police officer was alongside the road. He had been filling out a ticket for a driver he had pulled over when his police car was hit from behind. The police car had been on the side of the road and had its lights on at the time it was hit. The impact caused it to move forward and hit the car that the police had just pulled over.
]]> The 43-year-old man who hit the police car was an off-duty officer assigned to Logan Airport. Police arrested him and charged him with driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs and also failure to change lanes for an emergency vehicle. He was relieved of his police duties and also ordered to surrender his police issued equipment.The consequences for a drunk driving conviction can be serious for anyone in Massachusetts. Those consequences can be compounded if there is an accident with injuries, such as in this case. Anyone arrested for driving under the influence may benefit from knowing what the consequences may be in a criminal court and also what kind of impact a drunk driving charge could potentially have on their career or job. Each accused individual has the right to fair and impartial hearings, and no conviction can be secured without the prosecution first proving the criminal charges in court and beyond a reasonable doubt.

]]>Authorities say the investigation came about as there were increased drug overdoses in the area. As a result, police obtained warrants for two residences. The Pembroke Police Department and the Old Colony Police Anti-Crime Task Force were both involved in executing the warrants.
]]> At the first house, they charged individuals with possession of heroin, intent to distribute heroin and conspiracy to violate drug laws. One man was charged with being present where heroin was present. The second home searched reportedly netted unspecified drug items and the drug referred to as "Molly." In all, six individuals were arrested.The accused people may all face different levels of charges, depending on any existing criminal record -- particularly with regard to drug offenses. For a first time offender in Massachusetts, a drug possession conviction can lead to a court-ordered stint in rehab rather than jail time. The exact type and amount of drugs seized, and the legality of that seizure, can all factor into how drug charges are handled in the Massachusetts criminal court system. Anyone arrested for any level or type of drug possession may benefit from understanding their rights and the possible legal consequences they may be confronting as they prepare to defend against in court..

]]>The 52-year-old was arrested after he was observed by a cop who contends the man left a parking lot and drove over a curb. He also allegedly didn't have headlights on at the time. As he was followed by the police officer, he allegedly ran red lights and ignored the cop's lights. He eventually stopped in a parking lot and staggered into a wooded area,
]]> As police tried to arrest him, he fell repeatedly and they allege he was combative. It apparently took seven police officers to get him under control to be booked and charged. He allegedly continued to try to kick officers and spit at them. He faces charges of drunk driving, driving with a suspended license, resisting arrest and other charges.This particular drunk driving charge is the man's fifth offense. In Massachusetts, the possible penalties for drunk driving increase with each subsequent conviction. This includes an increase in jail time, fines and time without a license. For anyone arrested for a second offense or more, knowing exactly how the penalties can increase with each conviction may be beneficial when deciding on a defense strategy or a potential negotiation over a plea agreement..

]]>The incident occurred as police responded to a call of a fire and possibly people being trapped inside. When authorities arrived on the scene, four members of a family were on a fire escape. They told officers the 58-year-old father was in the house and had started a fire in an attempt to kill himself.
]]> Police found the man in the basement of the house. He had set several fires and doused parts of the house in gasoline. He was also near a gas meter with a torch that was lit. He was threatening to harm himself and police were able to get him away from the flame and danger by using pepper spray.The man was taken for a psychological evaluation and also faces criminal charges in relation to the incident. The attempted murder charges can carry very serious consequences in Massachusetts and may even result in jail time. When it comes to such serious charges, the mental state of a defendant can factor into how the charges play out or what possible penalties someone may face. Anyone charged with any kind of violent crime in Massachusetts may benefit from knowing their rights and understanding the possible consequences for the specific charge they face.

]]>The man was reportedly seen leaving a gas station and was said to have appeared intoxicated, though no details to back up that assertion were included in a news report covering the arrest. The man allegedly drove over a curb while leaving a Mobil station. he then reportedly rear-ended another vehicle as he headed down the road. That vehicle was apparently at a stop light at the time it was hit.
]]> The man is said to have sped off as police were called to the scene. Subsequently, his vehicle reportedly collided with a utility pole. The pickup truck he was driving landed on its side. He was arrested for drunk driving and leaving the scene of the accident, among other charges.Along with the drunk driving arrest, this individual was also accused of driving without a license. Moreover, an outstanding warrant from a neighboring Massachusetts jurisdiction for driving a vehicle that was unregistered. Despite the multiple accusations, the man remains innocent before the criminal court unless and until prosecutors are able to prove otherwise. However, the charges he is facing could lead to a variety of criminal penalties should a criminal conviction ultimately be secured, including jail time, fines and/or the installation of an interlocking device on his vehicle.

]]>The man was found to be in Plymouth and was categorized as a high risk offender. As a Level 3 sex offender, his status means he is considered very likely to commit a sex offense again. The man was convicted in 2004 and then wanted for an incident in 2011.
]]> In 2004, he was convicted for assault and battery on someone over the age of 14. In 2011, he was arrested for allegedly attacking and kidnapping an ex-girlfriend. The man was reportedly on the run from that arrest warrant until his arrest recently in Plymouth.It can be difficult for someone arrested for sex crimes to integrate back into society; however, there are set rules and laws pertaining to registering as a sex offender in Massachusetts and exactly how the process works. Anyone arrested for any level of sex crimes in Massachusetts would do well to become informed about what their rights may be and what their responsibilities will be if convicted and classified as a sex offender. As with any case such as this, the individual arrested is considered innocent until -- and only if -- proved guilty in a Massachusetts criminal court.

]]>The incident began as police noticed a man get into a car parked on the side of the road in Cambridge. The man was in the car for less than a minute, according to police. He got back out and police viewed this behavior as consistent with how drug deals are done in the area,
]]> They confronted the 22-year-old man and also the 52-year-old female driver of the car that was involved. The man was found to have $100 in cash on him. The woman allegedly had three bags of what investigators say is crack cocaine. The man faces charges of distributing cocaine and the woman involved faces charges of possession of cocaine.The drug charges levied against the two individuals can carry very serious consequences in a Massachusetts criminal court. It may be beneficial for those arrested if they are aware of what exact consequences they may face. In Massachusetts, several factors can influence the possible penalties. Those factors may include the type of drugs found, the amount of drugs seized, whether there are any past offenses for those charged and other factors such as proximity to a school.

]]>The two vehicle accident occurred along interstate 291 in the westbound lanes just before noon on a Saturday. A car hit another vehicle and then it rolled over. There were four children in the car that hit the second vehicle. The children ranged in ages from 1 to 10 and were treated for injuries that were reported to be non-life threatening.
]]> The driver of the car with the children was arrested for drunk driving. The person in the car he hit was reported to be uninjured. It is unclear what led police to arrest the man or suspect he was under the influence at the time of the crash. It is also unclear whether he was injured in the accident.In Massachusetts, if someone is arrested for DUI and there are any children in the vehicle at the time of the incident or arrest, those charges can result in stiffer penalties. However, any DUI arrest in Massachusetts can lead to fines, loss of license, jail time, the installation of an ignition interlock device, or mandatory time in an alcohol treatment facility. Anyone arrested for DUI under any circumstances in Massachusetts may benefit from knowing the exact penalties and how those penalties may vary according to the nature of the circumstances that led to the arrest.

]]>The incident allegedly happened at a house where a 29-year-old man is accused of having made the child watch pornography with him. He then allegedly committed some kind of sexual assault against the child. There was also a report that the man told the child if she told anyone about the incident, he would cut off her finger.
]]> The second person arrested was a 29-year-old woman and she has been charged with numerous crimes, including indecent assault and battery of a child. The man and woman both have been ordered not to have contact with any children, including the victim, and the man has also been ordered to not view any kind of pornography while he is out on bail. The police are investigating and asking for anyone else with information about the case to come forward.The charges the two Massachusetts adults face can carry serious consequences if a criminal conviction is ultimately secured. However, the two arrested for these alleged sex crimes are innocent until -- and only if -- proved guilty before a fair and impartial court. Anyone in this kind of situation may benefit by gaining an understanding of their legal rights. The specific charges will need to be carefully reviewed, in conjunction with the evidence prosecutors intend to offer in court. In that manner, a criminal defense can be prepared that addresses the accusations while seeking the best possible outcome.

]]>The couple were at home when there was a routine visit from the officer. The officer contends there were syringes and also heroin at the house the morning of the visit. Police came and searched the house. They allegedly found what they think was Molly, in the form of a pink rock. They also found marijuana in a car.
]]> The 28-year-old man faces charges of possession of a Class A, Class B, and Class B with an intent to distribute. The 30-year-old woman at the home also faces numerous charges. She is facing a Class B and Class D charges, with intent to distribute a Class D substance.The charges against the two could lead to a number of criminal consequences, which may be more severe for the man who was on probation at the time the drug charges were filed. Drug charges in Massachusetts can lead to fines, loss of license, probation and jail time. Anyone who is facing any level of drug charges should be fully aware of their rights, including the legality of any search and seizures and also what kind of criminal penalties different kinds of drugs can carry.

]]>The incident began when police were called to an intersection. A witness informed police that someone came into the intersection and hit two different street signs. At some point, police spotted a speeding vehicle and gave chase. The car went as fast as 90 miles per hour while being pursued into the next town.
]]> The car finally stopped and the driver was then informed about the street signs that were hit and he was shown the damage to the vehicle that he was driving. Police contend the man was under the influence and tested a blood alcohol level of .16 percent, although there is no word as to why they thought he was under the influence. In Massachusetts, .16 percent is exactly twice the legal limit. The driver was charged with DUI, leaving the scene of the accident and also speeding.The criminal charges the man faces can be very serious in Massachusetts. When it comes to a DUI charge in Massachusetts, the level of alcohol detected, the circumstances of how the person may have been pulled over and if there are any previous DUI convictions for the individual can all factor in to how the case may be pursued. The penalties for a DUI can range from fines, alcohol awareness education, jail time, loss of license and other penalties.

]]>A murder of a 15-year-old boy took place after a dance in 1969. The boy's body was found in Lowell. Recently, three men were implicated in the crime. They allegedly kidnapped and beat the boy after a dance and he died of asphyxiation after being bound also.
]]> The three implicated in the crime were all teenagers at the time also. One of the men, a 61-year-old from Tewksbury Massachusetts, was convicted of first degree murder, a second man pleaded guilty to manslaughter as part of a negotiated plea agreement. The third man was acquitted.There may be a number of complicated factors in a murder case that has reached the Massachusetts court system decades after it happened. The memory and reliability of testimony of witnesses decades after the fact can be difficult to verify. The fact that the men in this case were all juveniles at the time, yet adults while standing trial, can also be a complicating factor. For cases involving such a serious charge, it is vital that anyone accused of having any kind of role in a violent crime, regardless of how long ago it was, knows their rights and knows the possible penalties they may be facing as they prepare their criminal defense.

]]>The couple was arguing at a townhouse they share. The girlfriend apparently found something on his phone that led to an argument over alleged infidelity. As she packed a bag and tried to leave, the argument allegedly became physical. He allegedly threw her down on a bed, then threw her to floor and damaged her phone.
]]> Sullinger has been charged with assault and destroying property worth more than $250. A warrant was issued for his arrest and he turned himself in to police. He has pleaded not guilty. He also issued an apology and says the incident has brought embarrassment to his team, his family and to his girlfriend also.Charges of assault can lead to serious consequences in Massachusetts. When someone faces an assault charge, any past incidents and the details of the alleged incident -- such as amount of property damage or extent of any injuries -- can play a major role in the possible outcome of any criminal charges. Anyone in Massachusetts facing an assault charge should be fully aware of their rights and what kind of penalties they may possibly face should a conviction ultimately be obtained. Nevertheless, there is a substantial difference between an accusation of wrongdoing and a conviction gained after meeting the stringent burden of proof required by our criminal justice system

]]>A group of kids from a high school in suburban Boston all went to a camp in western Massachusetts as part of a team building retreat. According to authorities, at some point during the night, three juniors went into a cabin and assaulted three freshman students. Once notified of the alleged assault, camp authorities immediately notified police. The teens arrested contend they are innocent of the charges levied against them.
]]> The three arrested teens include one 17-year-old and two that were both reported to be 16.. The charges vary for the three teens, but include charges of aggravated rape of a child, assault with attempt to rape a child and also assault and battery with a weapon. There is also a charge of intimidation of a witness.The sex charges levied against the three teens can carry very serious consequences in a Massachusetts criminal court. Sex crime charges of this nature can also affect the reputation of the teens accused regardless of the criminal outcome. Because the teens arrested are minors, there are also varying possibilities as to what they may face. It is important that any teen facing charges of sex crimes know what to expect and knows what their rights are.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer says her priorities are 'God, family and Yahoo, in that order'
Motherhood and taking the helm of a very large corporate ship have delivered some surprises, but Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer told women execs recently that having good priorities has made her life both doable and happy.
Those priorities? God, family and work.
During an invite-only "Most Powerful Women" event sponsored by Fortune, Mayer said her new baby, Macallister, has been "easy" and her job has been "fun."
As Today's Ben Popken put it: "It turns out the former Google executive, known for her planning skills and extensive use of spreadsheets to make major life decisions (and determine the perfect cupcake recipe), can still be surprised when it comes to both motherhood and corporate leadership."
She told the mostly female audience that she knew leading Yahoo would be hard and the baby would be fun. She was surprised and pleased to find that the job is fun and the baby is easy.
Today aired the television exclusive, which Popken said could be her "last public interview for some time."
Before Macallister was born, Mayer was the subject of a wide discussion on whether women can "have it all," prompted by a piece by Anne-Marie Slaughter in The Atlantic. Slaughter, the first woman director of policy planning at the State Department, had found that at some point she had to choose between career advancement and what role she wanted in her family.
Mayer, 37, accepted the position of CEO at Yahoo while she was pregnant with the baby. And she received some criticism after his birth because she took very short leave when he was born.
Popken noted that when asked what she had to do to get everything done, Mayer replied, "You have to ruthlessly prioritize.
"And that's one of the reasons I haven't been talking and I will go back to not talking after tonight."
As for those priorities, she quoted the legendary Green Bay Packers coach. "And you know Vince Lombardi says, in my life there are three things: God, family and the Green Bay Packers. For me, it's God, family and Yahoo, in that order."
Not everyone believed the cheerful CEO's assertion that a new baby is easy. Wrote Bonnie Fuller of HollywoodLife.com, "Marissa — I think you're an amazing trooper, but I'm sorry, I don't believe you for one second when you say that 'the baby's been way easier than everyone made it out to be.'
"When you just say that it's been easier than you expected, most working moms simply respond 'of course it is for her — she's worth a fortune, she can afford 24 hours, 7 days a week babysitters, a cook, a housekeeper, a chauffeur, personal shoppers, assistants at the office, etc.' — you get my drift."
Working moms, Fuller said, know about being up all night with sick babies and then facing bosses who need work done. "Most working moms may love their careers and babies," she wrote, but mostly they just feel EXHAUSTED and overwhelmed."

Musée d'Histoire de Marseille (Marseille Museum of History)
Musée d'Histoire de Marseille (Marseille Museum of History) Review
A modern and open space, this museum illuminates Massalia's history with a treasure of archaeological finds and miniature models of the city as it appeared in various stages of history. Best by far is the presentation of Marseille's Classical halcyon days. There's a recovered wreck of a Roman cargo boat, its third-century wood amazingly preserved, and the hull of a Greek boat dating from the fourth century BC. The model of the Greek city should be authentic—it's based on the eyewitness description of Aristotle. The museum reopened after a €21-million renovation in the summer of 2013.

Case | HBS Case Collection | October 2012
by Felda Hardymon and Tom Nicholas
Genentech is a rare success story in the biotechnology industry. Hundreds of billions of dollars of venture capital have been invested without the expected transformational effects. Established in 1976, Genentech was to develop the new science of recombinant DNA into viable therapeutic products with mass market appeal, something that most scientists agreed was at least a decade away. The founders, Herbert Boyer and Robert Swanson had limited financial resources, so they turned to Tom Perkins, the co-founder of Kleiner-Perkins, for venture funding. Genentech developed through an effective union between scientific and venture investment mindsets. In 1980 an IPO valued Genentech at $300 million. In 2009 it was fully acquired by the Swiss-based healthcare company, Roche, for $47 billion. Roche had held a majority stake in the company since 1990.

HENNESSEY, Okla. —
Hennessey junior Tony Mendoza made his second career start at quarterback Friday against visiting Chisholm, but he made his biggest play — and the game's last — on defense.
Mendoza intercepted a pass off the hands of Chisholm's Britton Yunker with just over a minute remaining, ending the Longhorns' chance to retake a lead and sealing a 1-0 start in 2A-1 play and Hennessey's 11th straight win against Chisholm, 21-20.
The pass, quarterback Taggart Brown's third interception of the game, would have given Chisholm a first down near midfield after a sack one play earlier had forced a third-and-20, but Mendoza lunged forward to catch the ball after it deflected off Yunker's hands, allowing Hennessey to kneel out the final minute.
"I just had to step up, make a play and seal the deal, so they don't go down and score again," Mendoza said. "I just thought he was going to catch it … but it slipped out of his hands and I happened to be there at the right time."
The Eagles took the lead for good on the previous possession, a seven-play, 65-yard drive capped by a 1-yard touchdown by a line-hurdling Mendoza, pulling Hennessey to within 20-19, and William Arndt plowed through to his left on the ensuing two-point conversion attempt to give Hennessey the lead with 4:21 left.
"With an unproven kicker (Johnathan Suarez, who was 1-2 in PATs) who we just started there this week, we were hoping we'd score enough times to get him a lot of reps out there tonight because it's the first time he's kicked in a game," said Hennessey head coach Rick Luetjen.
"We just felt like, going down there, if we scored, that there might not be enough time to get the ball back and have a chance to recover from it."
"I was exhausted, but I knew we had to make it," said Arndt, who finished with 170 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. "A lot of adrenaline. I was nervous."
Chisholm took a 20-13 advantage with a 20-yard touchdown by Luke Ball on a sweep around the right edge, but a missed extra point by Jake Curless, who hit his two other chances, kept Hennessey within seven with 10:30 remaining.
Ball was injured on the first play of Chisholm's final drive, laying near the Longhorn sideline for several minutes before leaving under his own power with a fractured left wrist.
"It's unfortunate," said Chisholm coach Joey Reinart. "He's a heck of a player, about as tough as we've got."
Chisholm's Austin Swann caught an 18-yard pass from Brown on fourth-and-seven to finish with a season-best 57 yards on four catches for Chisholm before the Longhorns' final drive stalled.
Chisholm had an opportunity to take a two-possession lead in the fourth quarter after stopping Hennessey on three plays to take over at its own 29 with 8:40 remaining, but Hennessey's Jose Sanchez made a leaping interception to give the Eagles the ball back on their own 35 and set up what eventually became the game-winning drive.
Hennessey's first scoring drive also started with a Chisholm turnover, when Brady Fipps returned a tipped pass for what would have been a score, but a block in the back penalty gave the Eagles the ball at Chisholm's 33. Arndt scored the game's first points six plays later on a 3-yard run.
Despite his three-interception night — two of the picks coming off Chisholm receivers' hands — Brown had his best night as the Longhorns' starter, completing 12-of-22 passes for 138 yards, both bests in Taggart's Chisholm career, and a 25-yard touchdown pass to Colton Johnson.
"A couple of those (interceptions) weren't his fault," Reinart said. "He's hitting his spots where they need to be, we've just got to get the receivers on the same page. (Hennessey) made some really good plays, too."
Chisholm senior Bryce Stewart was mostly held in check after a foot injury early in the game, combating that and a Hennessey defense dedicated to plugging the middle. Stewart finished with a season-low 40 yards and a score on 16 carries, but the clogged middle left space on the edge, where Yunker (10 carries, 59 yards) and Ball (four carries, 24 yards) took advantage.
Chisholm outgained Hennessey 262-255 in the series' closest finish since the start of Hennessey's 11-game win streak started in 2003. Hennessey's longest pass came on a double-reverse pass from Edgar Fierro to Sanchez for 41 yards. Hennessey will face a second straight 2A-1 game Friday against visiting Perry.
Chisholm (4-1, 1-1) visits non-district Crooked Oak on Friday.
"It was really emotional tonight," Reinart said. "They really spent everything they had emotionally. Once we come back (Saturday), we'll just take a deep breath and get back there, and we'll be just fine. They've got a lot of character, and we'll show that next week, too."

Lucid Dreaming and Mental Illness
2012 11 23
By Ryan Hurd |
I got the weirdest phone call last week. The editor of Gawker, A.J. Daulerio, contacted me, requesting information on lucid dreaming. (Lucid dreaming is knowing youre dreaming while firmly in the dreamstate). He said hes doing a new piece on lucid dreaming and Jared Loughner, who was sentenced yesterday with life in prison without parole for his deadly rampage in Tuscon, AZ in January 2011.
Turns out, Gawker had got a hold of some emails from Jared Loughner, and Daulerio has been going through them looking for new insights in the horrendous mass shooting that left six dead and wounded 14, including U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords. It got weird when Daulerio asked, "So, you talked to Jared, right?"
"Nope, never spoke with him," I replied.
"But you emailed with him, right?"
"No, never did. Uh...why?"
"Because we have an email from him to you."
Thats when my nervous laughter began. Good to know that I laugh when Im freaking out, it must be my Irish heritage. "Um, do you have a reply from me?" I asked, cringing.
No reply, he says... but maybe I have it?
I have no recollection so I tell him Ill get back to him. I got home and did a search for Loughner in my email database. Ping. With an increasingly icky feeling, I saw that not only had he emailed me, but I had responded.
Time stamp: February 2009. A full 23 months before the shooting.
I reread Loughners email to me and instantly understood why I didnt remember it: it was very, very forgettable. By any reasonable standard, it was a polite inquiry about dreams, like the kind I get each and every day. No weirdness. No nonsensical queries. Even with the typo, it was a totally normal request, and I sent him a reply back a few days later and forgot about it.

Obituary: Joe M. Ball / First president of Pitt's Titusville campus
Feb. 10, 1920 - May 27, 2013
May 31, 2013 12:00 AMJoe M. Ball spent his life helping people as a professor, administrator, father and son.
Mr. Ball, who was the founding president of the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville, died Monday at Southwoods Assisted Living Community in Titusville, Pa. He was 93.
Mr. Ball graduated from the University of Texas and received his Ph.D. in general speech with emphasis on speech pathology and audiology at the University of Southern California, where he met his future wife, Norma Schouweiler.
During World War II, he served in the Navy in the Pacific assigned to the USS President Adams from 1943 to 1945, attaining the rank of lieutenant. He received five battle stars and a Letter of Commendation following a landing on Guam, and also saw combat at Luzon, Iwo Jima and Bougainville.
In 1948, he moved to Pittsburgh to accept a position with the University of Pittsburgh's speech department. Mr. Ball quickly rose to a tenured professor in the department and in 1963, he became the founding president of the Titusville campus.
Mr. Ball's work there helped bring world-class higher education to the region, said youngest son George Ball of Richmond, Va.
"He did it with grace, honor and hard work," George Ball said. "He really helped the region and town of Titusville. He gave the opportunity of higher education to people who wouldn't have otherwise had it."
Mr. Ball knew the university's students, faculty and staff and always offered to help, George Ball said. When a secretary was too cold during the winter months because of her desk's location near the door, Mr. Ball personally lifted and moved the desk to a new location.
After his retirement from the university in 1983, the campus' first dorm was named in Mr. Ball's honor.
Other children used to refer to the Ball house as 'Candyland' whenever they came over to the house, as there were no rules, George Ball said.
"[Our parents] kept us out of danger but were not the controlling standard," he said.
Mr. Ball always would threaten to take off his belt as a form of punishment for his children, which he never had to do. But, once at the dinner table, Mr. Ball stood up and took off his belt, only to have his shorts fall off.
"We all, including him, were laughing," George Ball said.
Mr. Ball enjoyed tennis and passed the love for the sport on to his sons. The Southwest Tennis Association named the Ball family the Tennis Family of the Decade in 1980 for more than 700 tournament wins collectively, George Ball said.
"As little as five months ago, we would throw him a tennis ball in his room at the assisted living and he would hit it with a tennis racket," he said.
Mr. Ball also is survived by sons William Ball of Wallingford, Pa., and Joe Ball Jr., of Lake Elsinore, Calif.; daughter Eda Scales of Titusville; 11 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
A funeral will be held at 10 a.m. today at St. James Memorial Episcopal Church in Titusville.
Memorial donations may be made to St. James Memorial Episcopal Church, 112 E. Main St., Titusville, PA 16354 or to The Titusville Promise c/o Titusville Alumni Association 302 E. Walnut St., Titusville,

"President George W. Bush has called for it, Senators Edward Kennedy and John McCain have worked for it, but the objective has been mired in political rhetoric and obstructive tactics at several levels of the political process," the Cardinal-Archbishop of Boston wrote.
While the people arrested in last week's raid are illegal immigrants, respecting their humanity and the meeting the needs of the women and children, whose situation is desperate, should be foremost, the cardinal said.
The Cardinal said he is concerned about some of the principles guiding the response and the fact that a policy that meets the immediate needs of those who were caught up in last week's raid is not yet in place.
O'Malley pointed out that in order to be released from custody those arrested in New Bedford had to assert that they were "the sole caretaker" of their children.
"The question is intended to guarantee one parent or caretaker for each child, but reports indicate that this goal has not been met," he said.
"More important, the question fails to produce an acceptable humanitarian policy. Mothers can be separated from their children, and perhaps deported, as long as there would be a caretaker for the children remaining in Massachusetts," he stated.
"Our shared respect for humanity and our faith in the promise of a better future call us to do better," he concluded.

I am not claiming Jorge is innocent or guilty. I don't have all of the facts, nor does anybody here blogging. Let's have a court of law make that determination, not some lynch mob that hasn't got all of the facts.
That said; If you stab somebody in self-defense, it's not a crime.
The Florida (Stand Your Ground) law is a self-defense, self-protection law. It has four key components:
1. It establishes that law-abiding residents and visitors may legally presume the threat of bodily harm or death from anyone who breaks into a residence or occupied vehicle and may use defensive force, including deadly force, against the intruder.
2. In any other place where a person "has a right to be," that person has "no duty to retreat" if attacked and may "meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another to prevent the commission of a forcible felony."
3. In either case, a person using any force permitted by the law is immune from criminal prosecution or civil action and cannot be arrested unless a law enforcement agency determines there is probable cause that the force used was unlawful.
4. If a civil action is brought and the court finds the defendant to be immune based on the parameters of the law, the defendant will be awarded all costs of defense.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is signing an overhaul of the troubled Employment Security Commission into law.
Sanford plans a public bill signing Tuesday for legislation that transforms that agency into a Cabinet-level Workforce Department.
The measure will allow Sanford to appoint a temporary director who will run the agency through early next year when Sanford's successor will choose a director.
The agency has faced criticism for more than a year. Auditors found the commission didn't do enough to head off the need to borrow what's amounted to $838 million to keep unemployment benefits paid.
They also said the agency lacked accounting skills and collected but didn't pay income taxes on benefits for months last year.

Mineral Veil came in the BE starter pack I bought for $50 at Ulta. I like the regular BE powder foundation for evening out the mild redness on my cheeks and chin. I use the mineral veil because it's there, but it really doesn't seem to add anything. I was hoping that it would brighten my under-eye area but it doesn't. The regular powder foundation takes care of any shininess when first applied, so MV is redundant if applied at the same time. If I am more shiny than I care to be, I use one the various powdered blotting papers and that is more precise and cheaper. Maybe MV would be good for someone who gets shiny later in the day and needs a touch-up without adding color.

This is a feathery light setting powder ,I have janes and I think it is alot better IMO. It isnt horrible and I will use what I have ,but probably wont run out of it, because I use it sparingly.

If it werent for mineral veil I would absolutely NEVER use bare minerals. My skin is oily and when I apply BE foundation, my pores look huge. Applying mineral veil makes a huge difference. As far as keeping my face shine free, unfortunately it doesnt do that at all.

For years I used Mineral Veil religiously with my BE Bare Minerals Foundation because I thought it looked good. (Read my other reviews for more on that) Looking back on photos from last year, I now realize how unhealthy my skin really looked - dull, dusty and dead. I quit using BE earlier this year due to the horrible condition my skin was in.
Mineral Veil was basically useless. Why?
- After a few hours my skin was back to normal and very dry around the edges of my nose.
- Does nothing for pores. Absolutely nothing. You can get t5he same results by dusting cornstarch or talc on your skin. That's how bad it is.
- My pores were enlarged and clogged due to all the layering of the powders - BM, Mineral Veil and Warmth. Your pores do not need a layer of clogging dust on them daily!
- It might look good the first few months, but you will end up with damaged, clogged, dull and tired skin within a year or so and you'll pay extra to fix the damage.
Luckily, I stopped using all BE products, and the damage that Mineral Veil and Bare Minerals did to my skin has reversed after countless pore cleaning sessions with masks, lactic acid, and changing my skin regimen.
I will never use BE products again! Don't fall for the brilliant marketing hype!

THis is one of the most useless items I have ever tried on my skin. It does not set your MU and it does not help with oil control. It is just like putting pixie dust on your face! Why?

This didn't make a bit of difference in how my mmu looked or lasted. As far as I'm concerned, it is pretty much useless for me. It didn't help with the oilies either.

This was the most useless product I have ever tried! I returned my $ 400 order to Sephora and bought many other better products. I tried to switch to mineral make-up to combat my sensitive skin, but this whole line inflamed my skin and made it itchy. I would never ever think of repurchasing this.

I really wanted to like this, because I know it's great for my sensitive skin. But honestly, I am not really sure what it was supposed to do. I applied a small amount of it like I was supposed to, with the kabuki brush, and buffed it into my forehead. It did nothing to absorb any oil. It sat on my skin, bringing out every imperfection and making it obvious that I was wearing powder. I have tried to use this several times, all with the same result. I will definitely not be repurchasing.

40 Groups Call on Supporters to Oppose Keystone XL
24-hour Push Seeks Half a Million Petitions Against Climate-killing Pipeline
TUCSON, Ariz. - February 13 - The Center for Biological Diversity joined more than 40 other environmental groups across the country today in a massive, 24-hour effort to express public opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline. The campaign aims to gather 500,000 petitions against the controversial project by noon on Tuesday. The signatures will be hand-delivered to the Senate, which is poised to vote on the project as early as this week.
"Keystone XL is a dangerous, shortsighted project that will enrich oil companies and leave oil spills, environmental destruction and climate catastrophe in its wake," said Noah Greenwald, endangered species program director with the Center. "This is the moment for Americans to voice their opposition to Keystone XL."
More than 12,000 people encircled the White House last fall to oppose Keystone XL.
President Barack Obama rejected the pipeline in January, but now Republicans in the Senate are pushing legislative language requiring the project to be permitted in 30 days.
Every day, the Keystone XL pipeline would transport up to 35 million gallons of dirty tar-sands oil from Canada across 1,700 miles, six states and hundreds of water bodies, posing a huge risk of oil spills. An existing pipeline called Keystone 1 has already leaked 14 times since it started operating in June 2010, including one spill that gushed 21,000 gallons of tar-sands crude. The new pipeline would directly threaten at least 20 rare and endangered species, including whooping cranes.
The extraction and refinement of tar-sands oil produces two to three times more greenhouse gases per barrel than does conventional oil, representing a massive new source of fossil fuels that leading climate scientist Dr. James Hansen has said will mean "game over" in our efforts to avoid irreversible global-warming calamity. Strip mining of oil from Alberta's tar sands is also destroying tens of thousands of acres of boreal forest and polluting hundreds of millions of gallons of water from the Athabasca River, in the process creating toxic ponds so large they can be seen from space.

June Fete, Chapter 1JUNE FETE - A Teen Titans Fan FictionJune 4th is said to be Starfire's birthday, at least according to some sources.The basic premise is that it is the first time that Robin and Starfire have celebrated her birthday as a couple and it takes place a little under two months after Tokyo. I am using the timeline placing Tokyo after Season 5.Disclaimer: Teen Titans are the property of DC Comics and the cartoon was produced through Warner Brothers. They are apparently not for sale within my price range.Adapted from Wikipedia: Fête is a French word that is used in English. While mostly used in the USA for a country fair or other such events, the original meaning of fête is party, festival or celebration.Chapter 1Birthday PlansThe middle of May was a beautiful time in the greater Jump City area.

Libyan economy grows by 100 per cent - IMF
According to the International Monetary Fund, IMF, Libya's economy grew more than 100 percent last year as its economy continues to recover from the 2011 Revolution that ousted the dictatorial regime of Muammar Gaddafi.
Ralph Chami who led an IMF mission to Libya and held discussions with authorities from the country said: "The financial situation began to normalise after most of the UN sanctions that had frozen Libya's foreign assets were lifted on December 16, 2011, allowing the central bank to provide foreign exchange liquidity to banks and help normalize commercial banking operations."
Hydrocarbon output is on the way back to normalcy this year and a full recovery of growth in the nonhydrocarbon sector is on track in 2014 as spending increases on the back of reconstruction and demand, the Washington-based organization head of mission said. Inflation fell to 6 percent in 2012, and is expected to decline further this year, arabian business.com has reported.
Libya's economy is forecast to grow about 16.7 percent this year after surging 121.9 in 2012. In 2011 Libya's economy contracted about 60 percent
Chami goes on to say that the short-term challenges are to manage the political transition, normalise the security situation, address severe institutional capacity constraints to ensure the timely compilation and dissemination of key statistics, and exercise budget discipline while maintaining macroeconomic stability.
Institutional capacity building, improving the quality of education, rebuilding infrastructure, putting in place an efficient social safety net, developing the financial market, improving the management of the country's resource wealth and associated financial flows with an efficient and transparent system, and reducing hydrocarbon dependency through private sector–led growth, need to be addressed by the government in the medium term.
The IMF said that a decline in oil prices while the government's high spending patterns continue, is likely to weaken the country's fiscal position. In the medium term, necessary reconstruction and development spending will push the budget into deficit in the absence of a curb on current spending.

Industry's first 100-V half-bridge gate driver for enhancement-mode GaN power FETs
June 20, 2011 // Paul Buckley
National Semiconductor has introduced what the company claims is the industrys first 100 V half-bridge gate driver optimized for use with enhancement-mode Gallium-Nitride (GaN) power field-effect transistors (FETs) in high-voltage power converters. Nationals LM5113 is a highly-integrated, high-side and low-side GaN FET driver that reduces component count by 75 percent and shrinks printed circuit board (PCB) area by up to 85 percent compared to discrete driver designs.
Designers of power bricks and communications infrastructure equipment require high power efficiency in the smallest form factor. Enhancement-mode GaN FETs enable new levels of efficiency and power density compared to standard metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) due to their low on-resistance (Rdson) and gate charge (Qg) as well as their ultra-small footprint, but driving them reliably presents significant new challenges. National's LM5113 driver IC eliminates these challenges, enabling power designers to realize the benefits of GaN FETs in a variety of popular power topologies.
Meeting the stringent gate drive requirements of enhancement-mode GaN FETs requires multiple discrete devices and significant circuit and PCB design effort. National's LM5113 fully-integrated enhancement-mode GaN FET driver greatly reduces circuit and PCB design effort and delivers industry-best power density and efficiency.
National's LM5113 is a 100 V bridge driver for enhancement-mode GaN FETs. Using proprietary technology, the device regulates the high side floating bootstrap capacitor voltage at approximately 5.25 V to optimally drive enhancement-mode GaN power FETs without exceeding the maximum gate-source voltage rating. The LM5113 also features independent sink and source outputs for flexibility of the turn-on strength with respect to the turn-off strength. A low impedance pull down path of 0.5 Ohms provides a fast, reliable turn-off mechanism for the low threshold voltage enhancement-mode GaN power FETs, helping maximize efficiency in high frequency power supply designs. The LM5113 features an integrated high-side bootstrap diode, further minimizing PCB real estate. The LM5113 also provides independent logic inputs for the high-side and low-side drivers, enabling flexibility for use in a variety of both isolated and non-isolated power supply topologies.
National's LM5113 is offered in a 10-pin 4 mm by 4 mm LLP package and cost $1.65 each in quantities of 1,000. Samples are available now and production quantities will be available in September 2011.
