Fab Fridays Introduce Local Students to School of Music Faculty and StaffPosted Jan. 29, 2013
Area instrumental music students have the opportunity to better their music skills and learn from students and faculty on the Kent State Campus through the Fab Friday Series, presented by the Kent State University Hugh A. Glauser School of Music Division of Bands and Music Education.
The 2012-2013 Fab Friday Series kicked off Jan. 25 with a visit from Bedford City School District's Bedford Heskett Middle School Band, conducted by Jennifer Shauf.
Fab Fridays program coordinator and assistant professor Marcus Neiman, along with associate professor Patricia Grutzmacher (pictured above), professors on the Kent State University conducting staff and music education students, worked with the Bedford Heskett Middle School band that morning. The band's Fab Friday experience included sectional rehearsals with music education studentsand a workshop with Kent State University conductors.
"Fab Friday programs offer the opportunity to bring talented school instrumental music groups to the Kent State University campus to work with our conducting staff, applied faculty, graduate assistants and graduate and undergraduate students," Neiman said. "Not only do these students get the opportunity to refine their playing skills and prepare for concert or large group adjudicated events, but it also introduces hundreds of students to our students, faculty and campus."

Baseball Drops Double Header

HAMBURG, NY – The Hilbert College baseball team dropped two Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference games (10-1, and 10-0) to Penn State Behrend in baseball March 28. The Lions took commanding wins to improve to 2-0 in league play while dropping the Hawks to 1-3.
Hilbert found themselves down 2-0 through three innings before Behrend inched away from the hosts beginning in the fourth. Matt Bittner hit a two run, home run in the fifth which gave the Lions momentum while it took the wind out of the Hawks' sails. With Behrend scoring two runs in both the sixth and seventh inning and freezing the Hawks bats, they easily won the first game 10-1.
John Babocsi went 2 for 3 and Frank Mancuso earned the lone RBI late in the game when he knocked in pinch-runner Aaron Lawrence for the solo Hawk score. Garrett Pauley took his third loss giving up ten hits with five strike-outs in 4.1 innings.
Hilbert earned six hits in the second bill, but still could not keep the Lions off the bags. Six different Hilbert players earned a hit, with none of them at bat more than three times during the seven innings. The fourth inning looked promising for the Hawks when Ryan Ilardi and Chris Hoak hit back-to-back doubles but a throw to the plate tagged out a potential first run which cooled the rally. Pat Lagueras earned a double the following inning, but was left stranded on second at the close of the inning. Behrend's pitching trio earned six strikeouts, with Chad Zurat getting credit for three in his one inning pitched.
Nick Sherman (2-2) opened for the Hawks and went four innings. He struck out two and gave up eight hits. Behrend earned eleven hits with nine RBIs and only tallied three strike outs for the game.
Hilbert (4-10) travels to Penn State Altoona March 31 for their third AMCC contest.

RADIO: The Mocs Sports Network flagship station is ESPN 105.1 FM the Zone in Chattanooga. Jim Reynolds is in his 33rd year as the play-by-play "Voice of the Mocs".
MOCSVISION: Video (PPV) & audio (free) is available online at GoMocs.com via MocsVision. Links for both and live stats are available on the men's basketball schedule page.
It's three games in three days for Chattanooga hosting the Chattanooga Sub-Regional of the CBE Classic. Louisiana Tech, Southeast Missouri and Troy square off in a round-robin November 18-20 in McKenzie Arena. The Mocs face SEMO on Sunday at 3 p.m., followed by Troy (Monday, 7 p.m.) and then La. Tech (Tuesday, 7 p.m.).
- The Chattanooga Sub-Regional of the CBE Classic features Chattanooga, Southeast Missouri, Louisiana Tech and Troy in a three-day, round robin event.
- The Mocs are 93-46 (.669) in in-season tournament play winning 32 such events, five at away sites. This does not
include preliminary rounds such as the game at Kansas..
- This is the first meeting ever with Southeast Missouri. SEMO is one of three possible Ohio Valley Conference foes in 2012-13. Eastern Kentucky comes to McKenzie Arena on December 8. Austin Peay is in the Dr Pepper Classic and is a possible second-day matchup.
- This is the first UTC roster since well before the move to DI (1977-78) to not have a single junior college transfer on its roster. See expanded note on page two (New Path) of game notes.
- Chattanooga provided a scare to No. 7 Kansas in Phog Allen Fieldhouse. It led by 12 in both halves and its eight-point halftime lead is the largest non-conference home deficit since 2005.
- Freshman Farad Cobb (West Palm Beach, Fla.) provided the spark off the bench at KU. He scored 18 of his 21 points on six three-pointers hit in the first half. Three of his treys caused 30-second timeouts from Bill Self. In fact, the Mocs first half play caused the Jayhawks to use all four 30-second TO's. Cobb ended up with a team-high 21 points.
- Cobb posted a freshman record for the second straight game with seven three-pointers made at KU. His six steals against Tennessee Temple in the opener was a new standard as well.
- HIs 21 points was the first 20-point night for a Mocs frosh since Josh Odem's at Georgia Southern on January 6, 2010.
- Former Mocs Head Coach Ron Shumate is scheduled to be in attendance at Sunday's game. He headed the Mocs from 1973-79 (7 seasons) with a 139-61 record (695). His UTC squads won the 1977 NCAA Division II Championship and were runners-up in 1976. His program also reached the No. 1 ranking in the country in 1974. He ushered the program into the DI era. He also led Southeast Missouri for 16 years (1981-1997) going 306-171 (.642) and coincidentally bridged the DII to DI gap there was well. His career collegiate mark is 445-232 (.657) in 23 campaigns.
The Mocs have a long history of matchups with the Ohio Valley Conference. There are two scheduled matchups this year (SE Missouri, Eastern Kentucky) with another possible (Austin Peay) on the second day of the Dr Pepper Classic.
- UTC is 80-76 vs. current OVC opponents.
- Shulman is 7-5 against OVC squads.
- Southeast Missouri is 2-1 on the season. It's 2-0 at home, 0-1 on the road.
- The Red Hawks and Mocs have one common opponent...Kansas. SEMO lost 74-55 at KU on Nov. 9.
- Head Coach Dickey Nutt is in his fourth season at Southeast Missouri. He has a 34-62 record there, 192-191 overall in 17 years. Nutt led Arkansas State for 13 campaigns with an even slate, 190-190.
- Tyler Stone leads SEMO averaging 17.0 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, while Nino Johnson adds a double-double with 15.3 and 11.0 boards per contest.
- The Red Hawks are shooting 44.0 percent from the field, 25.0 percent (13-52) from beyond the arc and 51.5 percent (68-132) inside it.
- SEMO has limited opponents to 33.9 percent shooting, a mere 20.6 percent from three-point range.
The Chattanooga Mocs lost a legend on Nov. 14, 2012 as former Head Coach Murray Arnold passed away in Florida. He laid the DI championship foundation coaching for six years, 1980-85, with a 135-46 record. He coached collegiately at four institutions (Birmingham Southern, Western Kentucky and Stetson) amassing a 420-229 mark in 22 seasons. The Mocs captured four SoCon Championships in six UTC campaigns advancing to three NCAA Tournaments and two NITs reaching the Elite 8 (NIT) in 1985 and narrowly missing the NCAA Sweet 16 in 1982.
When is the last time Chattanooga had two freshmen in the opening night starting lineup? Well not once on record in the DI era (1977-78 to present).
- Josh Odem (2010) is the last freshman to get the nod on opening night (11/13/09 vs. Virginia Intermont). As previously noted, Odem in 2009 is the last freshman to start on opening night for the Mocs.
- That same game is the last time Chattanooga had as many first-time starters as this season. Keegan Bell (2010-12), Ridge McKeither (2010), Odem and Ricky Taylor (2009-12) each made their first start against Virginia Intermont on November 13, 2009. McKeither and Odem made their collegiate debuts.
For the first time on record, the Chattanooga Mocs do not have a single junior college transfer on its roster. Those roster records go back 40 seasons. UTC made a commitment to the overall health of its program academically and socially to just sign freshman with an eye toward building a strong APR and better engage the community with student-athletes invested in the Chattanooga way.
- Chattanooga made a school record 23 steals including six from Cobb. Those six marked a new freshman record best the previous high of four which was held by seven student-athletes. Among them are teammate Ronrico White and assistant coach Casey Long (2004-07).
- UTC returned just one starter (Drazen Zlovaric) and eight of 13 letterwinners. It graduated 53.7% of its points, 42.5% of its rebounds, 73.7% of its assists and 54.5% of its minutes. Also gone are 57.3% of the Mocs shot attempts, 78.6% from three-point range. The departed shot 37.5% (398-1060) from the floor and 33.1% (188-568) beyond the arc, while the returners made 46.5% (367-789) from the field and 33.5% (52-155) from deep.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
To The Editor and residents of Moretown:
I'm informing you that shortly before noon on June 17 the VCDP Disaster Recovery Implementation Grant was submitted.
The grant was submitted for $865,286. This is the total of the Moretown Town Office construction cost estimate and the so-called "owner soft costs."
The town most likely will be asked for more data, input or changes. It is my understanding that a committee within the Vermont Community Development Program is meeting in mid-July to consider the application. I do not know when the decision about whether or not to fund this request is being announced. Of course, I'll keep you informed as to what we get for requests and what we hear regarding updates.
I would like to thank the Town Office Planning Committee (TOC) for the many, many hours you all put in to get the town to this point: Jonathan Siegel, John Schmeltzer, Diana Costello, Duane Pierson and to our ad hoc member Ray Daigle! Thanks, too, to the select board for your support, insights and energy. A huge thanks to Henry Erickson and, of course, over the last few months to Maclay Architects, namely Bill Gallup and Bill Maclay! Also, thank you to many Moretown residents for taking time out of their days to help move the process forward. Thank you to the Moretown School Board for your unanimous support for the "playground site"!
Cheryl Brown, John Schmeltzer, Diana Costello, and Henry Erickson and Bill Gallup, thanks for all your time, energy and expertise in writing the grant! A nice group effort!
I can't tell you how lucky we are to have Cheryl Brown! You are fantastic!
There's still much to do. I hope!
Clark Amadon, chair
Moretown Town Office Planning Committee

In the most recent 0.7.2 update, I started a process of usability enhancements in the run up to 1.0 to try and make the Alfred experience more predictable and consistent for new users. It's only during this process that you realise how very few options there are for fast 'single tap' hotkeys to perform certain tasks.
Tab Auto Complete
One of the very hardest changes I made was to the Tab behaviour – something which absolutely had to be done as Tab is synonymous with auto completion. Before I start, I will explain how Tab auto complete works in the Alfred file system navigation view and how efficient it makes finding a file you want.
If I have a photo called 'kittens15.jpg' in a folder called 'Aww Kitties' on my Desktop, I would use the following process to navigate to the file after bringing up Alfred:
~ takes me to my home folder de [enter] results filtered to 'Desktop', enter the folder aw [enter] results filtered to 'Aww Kitties', enter the folder k [tab] auto complete to 'kittens' 15 [tab] auto complete to 'kittens15.jpg'
Clearly having Tab as Auto Complete freakin' rocks… so what now?
Brain Dump Alert!
Warning: The following is a bit of a brain dump of some of the thoughts I had for changing the Tab behaviour.
1. Tab needs to be Auto Complete, nothing else
As you can action files in both the default Alfred default view and the file system view, the tab behaviour has to be consistent between these views. This rules out having Tab to perform an action completely.
2. The action key needs to be easy to find without looking
By making the action key ctrl or fn it will always be the bottom left key on the keyboard. This is very easy to find with your left pinky without taking your eyes away from the screen.
3. If you like scrolling, group all the action key with the arrows
By allowing the right arrow key to action, this means that you can find the file you want to action, then for example press right, down (to select open with), right, down (to select the application), then Enter to finalise the action. As an added bonus, on Apple laptops, this also makes the action key the bottom right key of the keyboard.
So there we have it
The Tab behaviour now rocks, and the action key is easy to find without having to look for it. But wait, there is one more thing… If you liked using Tab just because of the location on the keyboard, you have another option!
Remapping Caps Lock
If you don't use Caps Lock (I'm guessing you probably don't), in the OS X Keyboard preferences, you can select 'modifier keys' and remap Caps Lock to Ctrl which then works as the action key! Some have mentioned that this is the most comfortable key to find on the keyboard so everyone's a winner! :D

Hallie Ford Museum of Art announces 2011-12 exhibitions
A wide variety of innovative and historically-significant exhibitions have been planned for the Hallie Ford Museum of Art's 2011-2012 season. "I'm extremely pleased with the quality, range and diversity of major exhibitions planned for next year," announced director John Olbrantz.
Exhibitions scheduled for the Melvin Henderson-Rubio Gallery include the following:
"Ross Palmer Beecher: Americana"
June 4-July 31, 2011

Aug. 13-Nov. 6, 2011
The exhibition will feature 75 drawings acquired by Count Alessandro Maggiori during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Organized by Willamette art history professor Ricardo De Mambro Santos, the exhibition offers a fascinating glimpse into Maggiori as an art collector and into the historical importance of Maggiori's collection during the Napoleonic occupation of Italy. The collection was only recently rediscovered and has never been exhibited before outside of Italy.
"Norman Lundin: Inside/Outside"

Organized by Willamette anthropology professor Rebecca Dobkins, the exhibition will feature a range of work from the past decade, including portrait blankets of Jim Thorpe, Ira Hays, Susan B. Anthony and Joseph Beuys. Work also includes stacked blanket sculptures and "Engine," a felt cave-like structure that honors the artist's Seneca forefathers.

April 14-May 13, 2012
Each spring, the museum features the work of senior art majors at Willamette University. The exhibition represents the culmination of their studies and includes work in a variety of media, from painting, drawing, printmaking and photography to sculpture, ceramics, installation and mixed media.

i despise quest driven xp so much. it feels like the most tedious grind imagineable. I never feel myself get stronger, and so little of it actually matters in any way.
Someone just remake ffxi already so i can start having fun in a mmo again :(

The McD's argument is flawed because MMORPGs charge the same price.
If a bunch of restaurants charged 14.99 a month for unlimited access to their food, and customers overwhelmingly chose one restaurant over the others, that's definitely not the same as why people choose McDonalds (cheap food).
McD's would be if players were overwhelmingly choosing some F2P MMORPG based on price alone (even knowing that it was a worse MMORPG.)
In this analogy, the leading restaurant's success is based on streamlining the dining experience, by eliminating the various types of line-waiting that existed in other restaurants, in addition to higher quality food.

I have to wonder. Was it that the games were really all that diffrent in terms of grind? I mean people do make a valid point...its all a form of grinding if you dont enjoy it right?
Perhaps the problem is that mmorpgs have become a mad dash to endgame, making the journey a tedious obstical blocking people from being at endgame and raiding and doing the same battlegrounds over and over that they did at level 10 (lol).
I think the biggest flaw in the wow arch-type is the mad dash enducing engame hype. I dont recall ever rushing in the older mmorpgs. Hell, i remember not even caring or noticing what level i was in anarchy online, but then that was perhaps a diffrent game all together.
Regardless...my opinion...its the rush to endgame thats killed the game. People just dont enjoy playing to progress and socialize. Its now all business...level as fast as possible.
I recall recently seeing a pug group member type " did we have to kill these mobs?" when running a dungeon. Its that mentality i cant stand...no we didnt but i did because it was fun. That guy ended up leaving since we were wasting time by the way...left us all there before we finished since we were pulling mobs we could have run past.
Theres got to be a way to brainwash these kids into enjoying the game simply by playing it, rather than achieving endgame as fast as possible then getting bored in a month and hopping to the next one (or re rolling and racing again..on top of endlessly running the same instances over and over again at endgame)....why is endgame so fun again..seems the most repetative part of themeparks...

Questing .. at least you get to see different scenary. Plus, you can always run instance dungeons to level in WOW, which you cannot do in the "bad old days" of EQ.

Example 34: FFXI takes 20 minutes to get to location, 10 minutes to find group, 3 hours to level...total time: 3.5hrs
WoW takes, 2 minutes to get to location, 10 minutes to find group, 10 minutes to level...total time: 22min
Time = money
Wow (22min) is cheaper (cost less) then FFXI(3.5hrs)
More people play wow because it takes less time and because their friends play....not because its "more fun"

Putting aside the fact that your argument is completely nonsensical, WOW charged me 6 years of time because it was fun and rapidly got me from fun thing A to fun thing B, whereas FFX charged me 30 minutes of time because the UI/controls were terrible and it felt grindy even at the start. So I guess the actual price being paid is quite a bit higher in WOW.
In reality, all people care about is return on investment -- invest x time, get y fun. If the ratio is terrible, players aren't going to stick around long because there are more efficient time investments to be had.
In short, they're only going to "pay" (in time) for the games they perceive as worthwhile.

I played FFXI for 2.5 years...AND LOVED IT. best MMO I"VE ever played... PERIOD!
WoW...I played for 2 months...burned through 90% of the content and quit...
and your "in reality, all peopel care about is return on investment.." so what you are saying is every single person out there that says "Oh I didn't like old games because it took me 3 hours to party, and I don't have for that." is full of it?
They "aren't going to stick around long because there are more efficient time investments"?
Pretty much what you are saying to me is...
WoW + 10milliion players = fun
McDonalds models doesn't work because time investment has nothing to do with a game popularity....
So your saying a player base has nothing to do with time investment... So IF someone made a game that took 4 hours to find a party, but it was "as much fun as WoW" it would still have 10million subs?
You leaves so many flaws in your argument I don't even know were to start...

Someone allready mentioned that quest should never be in chain mode, i agree 100%, grouping is much more dificult this way. Chain quests means solo adventure.
I like games where have zones for group "grinding" and some zones for solo "grinding" (ofc group zones gives much more xp), both in open world, no instance plz.
I like group quests where involves killing some harder mobs (and can be daylies).
After a few years in a quest grinding games, i start feeling the need to back to L2, because is where i found real comunity sense, its where i feel a living virtual world and every day i have to deal with diferent situations involving other players. It could be better?oh yes it could, but theres nothing better yet in the market for me.
But mmorpg market involves billions and billions, so we will keep see alot of new devs trying entering on this market, and i have hopes one day some new devs will make a great game, imo ofc, because allready have low hopes for the existence "BIG" companys around.

This is very simple: if a game requires more time of players without providing more fun, players perceive the game as "less fun".
To use your version of the restaurant analogy, large-timesink MMORPGs are a $60 gourmet steak burger -- the exact same steak burger you can get for $12 in WOW.
If doing anything (finding a party or whatever) in an MMORPG arbitrarily takes more time in one game -- without being considerably more fun -- that game is just outright a worse game.
This is why the players complaining about the "race to endgame" make no sense. They seem to be asking for leveling times to arbitrarily be increased without any other improvements -- as if the game would magically be more fun if all a developer did was make it take 5x as long to level.

i think what you mean is that when you go to town you have to consider what quests others have, since they are the main source of experience...
the problem with that is that there are so many variables in this.
people are sort of discouraged to grind mobs even if that means just partying along with your friends that didnt do 10 quests that you did even tho they are like only 1 level lower.
early level quests? not many people are doing them in groups as far as ive seen.
in world of warcraft for example people would rush to whatever level solo, because simply - there was no benefit to group other than the social aspect. in fact you could level faster solo.
so basically:
older mmos: more grindy gameplay which is actually less boring, because your mind process is different : 'i have to find a group'. thus the task becomes the secondary thing (the grind itself), and there is more focus on the primary thing (grouping and socialising). you had to make the 'mmo' part happen., one way or another pretty much.
new mmos: the task is more important. the reward, the exp. everyone want epic loot, fame and glory. you are not required to play mmo part, so if you dont care you can just ignore it. people are looking forward to epic loot that late game gives them, not the actual new possibilities of multiplayer. even if they want to experience those, by the time they are end game, they will be brainwashed to just want epic loot instead.
so new mmos basically get those very nice grouping tools and such which would have been insanely useful for the older ones.
however there is this taint called CASUAL SOLO GAMER that makes those great grouping possibilities quite useless.
the mmo which allows to solo everything, most likely kill a lot of their community building potential.

well you might want to stop playing MMOs then
or rather stop playing rpgs in general

WoW player are not bottom feeding morons, but they are spending time playing a game that prides itself on making it as easy as possible, requiring as little effort as possible, as little attention as possible, with as little challenege as possible.
It is like being an adult and arguing that playing tic-tac-toe is a better game than chess. You can still have fun playing tic-tac-toe but you have no basis to proclaim it being some amazing game.
In case you forgot:
You should be concerned when "Game" designers announce that to make the game better they will be making Raid encounters easier to defeat and will give out even mkre powerful rewards...
At some point when the competitive aspects are so muted and things are so streamlined, so easy and so over rewarding it simply isn't a game any more and instead you should call it WoW'ing off.

There are so many variables that makes McDonalds a reasonable place to eat for many over other places despite the food not being the best (at least scientifically in health terms) that does not correlate to an mmo vs mmo.
- Price: rather self explanatory actually this is very contradictory to a comparison to mcdonalds since wow's pricing is the highest in the market while mcdonalds is relatively cheap.
- Availibility: Virtually all mmo's are available in the same store and/or on the interent there's nothing comparable to driving for two hours to eat at resturant x instead of mcdonalds around the corner in mmo terms.
- Speed: MMO's have no wait time until you get to partake in the service (specific server queus do not coun't) they are all equal in footing IE instant, not so much for resturants.
- Food: there's just a slight difference between offering a product that is necessary to live and a specifc form of entertainment very very few people (relative to world population) enjoy.

And that's fantastic SJohnson, you had a $10K inheritance, BlackBlade got his through work incentives and buying direct from miners at discount prices.
So how does the average guy do it? Mortgage his house to buy gold? Take out a loan? Rob a bank? In order to buy the precious metals I woulld have to short myself somewhere else and that is not going to happen. As I stated previously I do have some old silver coins and I have no intentions in getting rid of those any time soon. But it is not in my plans to spend my resources to buy gold. Maybe if I had an inheritance so it didn't affect my normal bottom line, but to try and come up with $10k otherwise is simply not in the cards.

The Savannah River Site's Citizen Advisory Board – or CAB – is canceling two upcoming committee meetings, a result of the current federal government shutdown.
The board is canceling the Oct. 22 meetings of its Nuclear Materials and the Waste Management committees.
The cancellation comes after the Department of Energy confirmed plans to make a presentation about the Vault 4 leakage to the Savannah River Site. SRS identified the leakage in February. Department officials stated the problem stems from cracks in the roof of the vault.
"When possible, every effort will be made to reschedule these meetings," CAB officials stated in an email announcement.
The Nuclear Materials committee studies issues involving nuclear materials (generally uranium and plutonium) that have an impact on SRS activities. It addresses the consolidation, storage and disposition issues related to the legacy materials that were once part of the nuclear weapons production cycle.
The Waste Management committee reviews the management, treatment, storage and disposition of radioactive wastes. These include transuranic waste, low-level waste, mixed low-level waste and radioactive liquid waste. The committee also provides advice and recommendations to DOE on these activities.
The CAB was forced to cancel its Facilities Disposition & Site Remediation committee and the Strategic & Legacy Management committee meetings last week.
The next meeting on the CAB's schedule is its bimonthly full board meeting slated for Nov. 18-19. Barring any changes, it will be held at the Double Tree, located at 2651 Perimeter Parkway in Augusta.

INDIANAPOLIS — A legislative attempt to overhaul Indiana's criminal code might hinge more on dollars and cents than sentences.
The House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday heard testimony on House Bill 1006 that largely focused on the costs associated with the reform. A vote will likely come next week.
The goals of the massive legislation are to make punishment more proportional to the crime, make the most serious offenders serve longer sentences and divert drug addicts and low-level offenders from state prisons to local treatment and supervision programs to reduce recidivism.
Rep. Matt Pierce, D-Bloomington, said when offenders spend a short time in the Indiana Department of Correction there is no time to address the underlying problems behind their crimes.
He said over time Indiana needs to readjust the system and take savings from the state level and reprogram the money at the local level with probation officers and community corrections providing intensive supervision.
"That is the paradigm shift we are hoping the General Assembly will sign onto," Pierce said.
The bill is comprehensive, touching virtually every aspect of the criminal justice system.
For instance, it increases the number of felony levels from the current four to six and spells out new rules for how prisoners could earn "credit time" for early release.
All felons would have to serve 75 percent of their sentences, said Rep. Greg Steuerwald, R-Danville, author of the bill. Under current law "good time credit" automatically cuts sentences in half and then educational credit can reduce that further.
The bill also lowers some drug penalties, including reducing the size of the "drug-free zones" around schools. And it recalibrates theft charges to allow more misdemeanor charges. The measure gives local judges more discretion over when to suspend prison sentences for some low-level crimes while adding more violent crimes to the list of offenses with mandatory prison time.
County officials are asking at what cost to them, and ultimately the financing of the bill could be its Achilles' heel. The bill's fiscal impact statement estimates about 1,100 offenders a year would end up in local corrections programs rather than state prison.
The legislation has set aside $1.9 million a year from the Department of Correction budget into a probation improvement fund. But local officials say more is needed if they are to help more offenders in a more concentrated way.
The Association of Indiana Counties estimated Tuesday that, depending on the program used – probation, home detention, work release, jail – the costs could range from $13 million to $42 million a year. But everyone cautioned that the projections were difficult to make given the many working parts of the bill and judicial discretion in sentencing.
"If we don't get additional revenue, then we will have more people with the same level of funding getting worse services," said Andrew Berger, lobbyist for the county group. "If the goal is intensive supervision with swift sanctions, you're going in the wrong direction."
The state would take over some key probation officer salaries under the bill, which might free up $10 million in local funds statewide.
A recent fiscal analysis also shows a large future cost for DOC largely due to longer sentences.
The bill wouldn't go into effect until July 2014 but now would be the time – with the crafting of a new two-year state budget – to address the fiscal concerns.

The following incidents were obtained from Berkeley County Sheriff's Office reports:
• On April 14 a contractor out of Mt. Pleasant reported the larceny of a two-ton air condenser from a site off Southern Sugar Avenue near Moncks Corner. The complainant could not provide a model number at the time of the report.
The condenser has an estimated value of $1,500.
• An Irmo woman reported one of her vacant rental properties in St. Stephen was burned to the ground on April 17. She gave an officer the name of a possible suspect.
The deputy noted the complainant did not witness the suspect perform any of these actions.
• A number of tires and rims were stolen from a school district bus repair shop off Whitesville Road. Two new tires and rims and two recap tires were reported stolen on April 18. The complainant told officers he walked the perimeter of the property and did not find any holes in the fence or signs of forced entry.
The total value of the stolen items is estimated at $1,443.
• A Bonneau woman reported on April 18 that several items were stolen from her Mail Route Road residence. The stolen items have a combined estimated value of $1,850.

For nearly a decade, Georgetown Family Pizza on South Fraser Street in Maryville was a part of the community, serving up great food and fun times.
The good times for the loyal customers and those who tried the restaurant for the first time came to an end on Oct. 24 when the business was destroyed by a fire, ignited by grease rags in a dryer, according to Georgetown City Fire Chief Joey Tanner.
In minutes, the popular eatery was completely gutted by the flames.
Now, owners Bob and Susie Lambert are hoping to find a way to rebuild - a task made more difficult since they had no fire insurance on the business.
We are trying to get help from wherever we can get it, Bob Lambert said Tuesday.
Lambert was asked if he feels they will be successful at their attempts to rebuild. All I can say is we are going to try. I will put whatever I have into it.
An account has been set up at TD Bank for anyone who would like to make a donation. Contributions can be made to the Georgetown Family Pizza fund.
While money is definitely needed, Lambert said there are other ways people can help.
We are looking for building materials people would like to donate. Or maybe people who can hang sheetrock. We need things like air conditioning units. Maybe someone will sell us one at cost, Lambert said.
We are a part of Georgetown
Lambert said he feels it is unfair that there is no help available for his business while there have been numerous efforts to help the businesses that were destroyed on Front Street one month prior to his fire.
Is Maryville not a part of Georgetown? We lost our business also. We are a part of Georgetown. I am very mad about that. It upsets me that the relief efforts are confined to only one part of the town, he said, adding with the exception of Paige Sawyer, no one from city council has called or stopped by to see if the city could be of any assistance.
Lambert said his wife contacted Washington about possibly receiving some of the funds earmarked for the Front Street disaster.
We were told we do not qualify because we are not on Front Street, Lambert said.
He said he has received some help from friends in removing everything that was damaged. He also thanks Po Boys, a restaurant equipment store on Church Street.
They have been helping me tremendously, he said. They have taken my equipment out and cleaned it up, he said.
He also said County Councilman Ron Charlton has provided some office space so they could set up their computers.
Wife is the foundation
Lambert said the backbone of the business has always been his wife.
She is the whole foundation. She is the one who built this business, he said.
He said asking for help is somewhat difficult because he and his wife have always enjoyed giving to people.
She has given away a lot of food over the years. She always took care of her customers, he said.
Lambert concluded by saying once again he hopes to reopen one day soon.
We literally lost everything but I am not going to give up, he said.

pBApo-CMV- DNA is a simple mammalian expression vector as well as an shRNA expression vector; as a result, it can be used to express protein-coding genes as well as micro RNA precursors and other transcripts. The pBApo-CMV DNA vectors all carry a promoter from cytomegalovirus (CMV IE) and a polyA signal site from the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene. These vectors may be used during expression plasmid construction by inserting the ORF of a target gene into the multiple cloning site. The pBApo-CMV DNA vectors can also be used to express microRNA precursors and other transcripts in addition to ordinary genes. Furthermore, a [promoter + ORF + polyA signal]-containing cassette can easily be cut out of these vectors and transferred to adenovirus vectors. Because adenovirus vectors have high infection efficiencies and a wide target cell spectrum, they are suitable for in vitro and in vivo gene transductions. For construction of recombinant adenoviruses, the Adenovirus Dual Expression Kit (Cat. #6170) is recommended.
The pBApo-CMV Neo DNA and pBApo-CMV Pur DNA vectors carry a neomycin or puromycin resistance gene, respectively, as a selection marker in mammalian cells. Either neomycin or puromycin allows for stable product expression in mammalian cells.

No Nieuws is bad news
Tuesday, January 31, 2006
Last week, we launched 10 new versions of Google News. Now, Google Nieuws is available in Dutch for the Netherlands, and furthermore, news readers in Belgium can get country-specific news in either Dutch or French. We also released English-language versions of Google News with news targeted for Ireland and South Africa, and Spanish-language versions of Google News were released for Colombia, Cuba, Peru, Venezuela, and the U.S.
We're proud of each new country, language, and feature we release, and Dutch engineers on the Google News team have been especially motivated by this launch: now we in Zurich and in Mountain View can finally keep up via Google News with what's happening at home. Even more important, since we're sworn to secrecy during much of pre-launch product development, we're relieved that we now can answer when friends and family ask what it is we actually work on.

Pronounced: ral-OX-i-feen
Classification: Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator
Raloxifene is in a class of medications called selective estrogen receptor modulators or SERMs. Most breast cancers need supplies of estrogen (a female hormone produced by the body) to grow. Raloxifene decreases the risk of developing invasive breast cancer by blocking the effects of estrogen on breast tissue. This may stop the development of tumors that need estrogen to grow. Raloxifene also prevents and treats osteoporosis by mimicking the effects of estrogen to increase the density (thickness) of bone.
Raloxifene comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with or without food. It is important to remember to take this medication everyday to get the maximum benefit from taking it. Your healthcare provider may want you to take calcium and vitamin D with this medication to prevent or treat osteoporosis.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Raloxifene. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Signs of a blood clot in the leg may include any of the following: leg pain or feeling of warmth, swelling of one leg more than the other. Signs of a blood clot in the lung could include: fever, shortness of breath that comes on very quickly, racing heart, chest pain (that tends to be worse when you take a deep breath).
If you have any of these signs or symptoms of blood clots, you will need to be seen immediately so that you can be treated. Blood thinners can be given.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe your sperm is affected.
Other reported side effects include:

A rib injury has knocked Valentijn Overeem (30-28) from a main event heavyweight fight later this month against Mike Kyle (19-9), and Travis Wiuff (68-17) will step up in his place.
Overeem, brother of UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem, was scheduled to meet Kyle at Championship Fighting Alliance 11. AXS TV's "Inside MMA" on Friday reported the switch, and Overeem's management team confirmed the news.
CFA 11 takes place May 24 at BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Fla. The main card airs live on AXS TV. The new main event between Kyle and Wiuff will be a rematch from a 2010 no contest under the King of the Cage banner.
"Everyone at CFA wishes Valentijn Overeem a fast recovery from the rib injury he incurred this week," stated Jorge de la Noval, CFA's founder and CEO. "... The main event of CFA 11 is a now a rematch that both of these fighters have wanted for years. Their first fight in 2010 was ruled a no-contest and now, three years later, they finally have a chance to settle the score."

An Aiken County industry was among 11 finalist companies recently honored in front of a full house of industry leaders at the 17th annual Salute to Manufacturing, held at the TD Convention Center in Greenville.
Honored with 2013 Silver Crescent Awards for Manufacturing Excellence were small manufacturer Cytec Industries of Aiken County, mid-sized manufacturer Southern Weaving of Greenville and large manufacturer Nucor Steel of Mount Pleasant.
The awards luncheon was attended by more than 300 business executives, community and political leaders and manufacturing industry representatives from across South Carolina and the Southeast. Honorees were chosen from a statewide slate of finalist companies nominated for superior performance in seven Crescents of Excellence – financial performance, customer satisfaction, employee engagement, citizenship, innovation, environmental stewardship and longevity plan for South Carolina. A national panel of independent, expert judges reviewed all applications to select finalists and determine winners.
The small manufacturer winner, representing companies with fewer than 200 employees, was Cytec Industries, a global specialty chemical and materials company serving the aerospace and automotive markets. Located at two facilities in Langley and North Augusta, Cytec employs a total of 135 people. Among its noteworthy accomplishments, Cytec was cited for its nationally admired emphasis on real-time plant performance measurement, allowing immediate input, decision-making and corrective action to enhance productivity, and for taking a proactive role in introducing middle and high school students to career options in chemical manufacturing.
The awards luncheon was preceded by a standing-room-only best practices forum, featuring presentations by senior industry executives including Brian McSharry of Sage Automotive; Fran Jones and John Stewart of Bridgestone Americas; Bryan Dods of GE Power & Water; Pam Bedenbaugh of Cox Industries; and Fred Dedrick, executive director of the National Fund for Workforce Solutions.
The Silver Crescent Award was established by the Silver Crescent Foundation to honor outstanding small, mid-sized and large manufacturers from across South Carolina, and to promote awareness of the importance of manufacturing to our standard of living and quality of life in the Palmetto State. The Silver Crescent Foundation's mission is to increase awareness of the importance of manufacturing among the public by promoting manufacturing vitality and advancing career opportunities in South Carolina.

Midwest Living Review
Two friendly, and sometimes loud, peacocks welcome visitors to Kingwood Center, the sprawling former estate and garden in Mansfield, Ohio. The birds sweep their plumes around in hopes of earning a palm full of food pellets, and they're nearly impossible to resist. The wandering birds fit right in with this pleasure garden that feels more like Versailles than North Central Ohio.
Kingwood Center features several formal and themed gardens, each impeccably groomed, all stunningly beautiful. Though the spring display of flowering bulbs, magnolias, flowering trees and wildflowers is the showstopper, there's plenty of color throughout the summer. Guests can stroll the gardens at their pace, stopping to rest on benches, or take a guided tour (Saturdays only). There's also a large greenhouse, with a plant sales area, and a brick patio area perfect for picnicking.
The mansion at Kingwood Center, Kingwood Hall, is the former home of local businessman Charles Kelley King. Visitors can peek inside the home with first-floor tours on Saturdays.
The gardens are open to the public daily, March through December, with extended summer hours. The mansion is only open summer Saturdays. Check the website for the holiday schedule in November and December. Admission is charged by vehicle. Cars and motorcycles pay $5; limousines and motor homes pay $10, and pedestrians and bicycles pay $2. Guided tours are an additional $2 for a garden tour or $1 for a mansion tour.

This just in… we've finally spotted the BMW 2 Series! Seen undergoing winter testing in Munich is this 2 Series Convertible (F23) prototype. If you recall from 2006, the very first 1 Series prototype ever spotted was also the convertible version, prior to the coupe model.
What do we see?
To the delight of many F20/F21 1 Series hecklers, even through the camouflage it appears the 2 Series headlights will indeed be sleeker and sportier! A comparison (photo below) against an F20/F21 1 Series prototype at this … CONTINUED
We previously reported on a possible four-door 2 series sedan / gran coupe. Autocar has now joined the rumormill on such a potential 4 door model.
The report claims that BMW has plans for or is discussing a RWD sedan based off the current 1 Series platform that will target the US and China markets in particular. Autocar calls it a 1 Series, but in all likelihood it would be called a 2 Series. If you remember, only the hatchbacks and upcoming FWD models are likely to … CONTINUED

Welcome to ALL MEDIA PHOTO CHALLENGE #40 - February 2014
Challenge: Create artwork based on any or all of these photos and themes. Use any medium and any style. Stick to the photo(s) exactly or just use them as a starting point - feel free to crop, change colors, composition, add or subtract elements or take a complete departure. In other words, HAVE FUN and keep painting!
I was wondering about what theme to use. It is starting at times to look like Spring here there are new shoots forming on trees and shrubs but then some of you are still under feet of snow and then on the other side of the world you are going into Fall. Soooo!
Theme, CHANGE and renewal. this can be simply new seasons or personal change as artists. A change in the way we look at things or approach our art. A commitment to try new things, mediums, styles ideas. Change can be scary or a wonderful challenge how will you go forward this month? That little voice telling us I can't draw this or I am not ready for this will keep us doing the same things for ever so don't listen. Just this month try something new. We are all students here learning and failing and surprising ourselves it is okay to try, you don't have to make a work of art the first time just try. Those of you who are new might want to go back to the beginning and read through Sammy's lessons on Priciples of Composition. She covers several things that we all need to review from time to time.
I have tried to bring a variety of references for you to dabble with so grab a pencil, paint glues or whatever and create! Try an abstract, paint with just one red, blue, yellow and white, change the picture to black and white and come up with your own colours, Use just one colour and black and white. Crop, paste, mix and match. But have fun!!
So here we go!

Splendid selection yet again. Thanks Karen and Jen
winter sunset, from memory after taking the dog for a walk! Water colour...very quick sketch before the memory of it faded!!!!
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Sarah, good for you starting us off with a lovely Wintery sunset. That touch of orange in the greying purple clouds captures the last of the light nicely against the bare trees.
Jen...fabulous selection. Wish I had time to do them all.
C&Cs always welcome
Sarah you captured the sunset beautifully. Sarah this months selection is all Jen. I will have April.
Hello Jen and Karen...I realised my mistake after I had posted but had to wait until now to apologise.
Jen, great reference photos for your challenge and an interesting theme. I'm looking forward to what it will inspire.
Sarah, lovely sunset with a nice touch of warmth and the silhouetted trees and branches. I can see why you would want to capture it in paint.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
"Life Goes On", 15.5" x 11.5", acrylic on mat board, 1-10-2013
This tree is at the Lady Bird Johnston Research Gardens, Austin, TX.

C&C welcomed
http://www.facebook.com/CharlieGunnArtist My Art Work
Sarah, beautiful sunset. I especially like the colors in the sky.
Charlie, thanks. Another early bird! I love the gnarly old tree hanging in there surrounded by all the wild flowers. The gardens are a great place to visit. Sorry about the bold sometimes it won't turn off!
Thanks Bonnie and Karen. Karen you don't have to do them all just find a couple and let loose.
Sarah, no apology needed, I understood the confusion. :)
Charlie nice job on the tree bark. I can't wait to see some wildflowers again. It seems like forever ago.
Hello Karen, Bonnie and Charlie...thank you. Saw another similar sunset yesterday but it is freezing cold and wet today and so definitely didn't please any shepherds!
Another sunset........took more time over this one but it is small 6" x 3" approx. Watercolour heavy rough paper.
Hello Charlie, I had a quick glance and thought you had painted an abstract but then of course I 'twigged' it. Interesting version and good take on the renewal theme.
