PENSACOLA, Fla. – Three University of West Florida (5-2-2) goals sent the Saint Leo men's soccer team (5-3-0) to their second consecutive loss, as they fell to the Argos in shutout fashion, 3-0, Saturday evening from the UWF Soccer Complex.
Notching goals for West Florida in the Lions' region road loss were Hector Vega, Will Henderson, and Kyle Sealy.
The Lions faced a relentless Argos' offense over the first 45 minutes, scattering seven shots. However, it was a Vega rebound blast in the 40th-minute that gave West Florida the initial tally.
West Florida solidified the shutout win with a pair of goals in the 53rd and 54th minutes. Henderson put the Argos up 2-0 after collecting a loose ball inside the box and ripping it past the 'keeper.
Sealy capped the scoring for West Florida a minute later as he flicked a header on target from a well struck corner by Henderson.
The Lions lone chance at goal was scooped-up in the first half by Ramon Sealy as he remained unbeaten on the year improving to 3-0-2.
For the Lions, McKenzey Scott was tagged with the loss as he fell to 5-3-0 on the season.
The Lions collected four shots on the evening, while West Florida held a 7-1 department in the corner kick department.

Summer Fest: Top Ten Things to Do With Tomatoesby Michelle Buffardi in In Season, August 25, 2010
We're teaming up with other food and garden bloggers to host Summer Fest 2010, a season-long garden party. Each week we'll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you're harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. To join in, check out awaytogarden.com.
You say tomato. I say . . . well I say tomato, too. I don't actually know anyone who says to-mah-to. However you pronounce it, I think we can all agree that tomato season doesn't last long enough. So until someone figures out how to extend fresh tomato season by another 10 months or so, here are 10 ways you can enjoy them while we have them, and even preserve some for later.
10. Make sauce. Tomato sauce is quite possibly the most popular method of tomato consumption; even self-proclaimed tomato-haters eat the stuff on pasta and pizza. So while you're up to your ears in garden-fresh tomatoes, make a pot of sauce. Eat some now and freeze the rest in individual or family-sized servings — come February when there's not a decent tomato in sight, you'll be glad you did.
9. Make a tomato sandwich. No recipe needed — just slice fresh tomatoes, layer on whole-grain bread (I like to toast mine first), sprinkle with salt and pepper and eat. I see nothing wrong with eating this for breakfast, lunch or dinner every day until the tomatoes are gone.
8. How 'bout some gazpacho? It's like salsa soup, minus the chips. Non-traditionalists should try Gazpacho Salad or Rachael Ray's Deconstructed Gazpacho.
7. Tomato salad 5 ways: Panzanella (Tuscan tomato-bread salad), tomato salad stacks, Food Network Magazine's Nectarine-Tomato Salad, Emeril's Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad, or a super-simple Cucumber-Tomato Salad.
6. Dry them in the oven so they last a little longer. Plan on 4 hours of inactive cooking, but every minute is worth it for these oven-dried tomatoes.
5. Can them so they last a lot longer. If you're new to canning, can along with Kitchenette, she has great how-to photos on her blog.
4. Try a Spicy Tomato Jam. It's delicious over grilled chicken or swordfish, or as an accompaniment to cheese and crackers.
3. Swap fresh tomatoes for the sauce on pizza. Fresh tomatoes are so flavorful, you won't need to be heavy-handed with the cheese, making it a sensible way to have your pizza . . . and your figure too! (Try Giada's recipe, pictured above.)
2. Cut 'em up and make bruschetta. With anchovies, or without.
1. Make salsa. Once you see how easy it is to make homemade salsa, you'll shun the jarred stuff forever. I like Alton's recipe and Giada's, but I often just make mine to taste with whatever I have — sometimes I even throw avocado in it.
What did I miss? How do you eat your garden-fresh tomatoes? Let us know here, or join the conversation on twitter at #summerfood.

MORE must be done to encourage young people to take up apprenticeships, according to a key Worcestershire County Council report.
An in-house review has been published revealing how a surge in apprenticeships has boosted the economy, reduced the unemployment rate and done wonders for teenagers.
Now a series of new recommendations have been made for where the county should be going to make even greater headway on it.
The report says schools in Worcestershire must accept career advice "as a major priority" despite financial pressures and the council must work more closely with schools to ensure further education is not pushed as "the only route for progression".
It also says visits should be made to schools by role models who can promote apprenticeships, and notice boards should have details on the value of them, how they work and publicise famous people who started off their careers via one.
The report, which runs to 26 pages, is being sent to the council's Conservative leadership to see if it is prepared to back it with any funds.
It reveals how huge efforts to create more apprenticeships in Worcestershire has paid off, rising 110 per cent in two years.
In 2011 it stood at 2,000 but the figure has continued to rise and is on track to surge past 7,000 this year.
It also reveals that research by Warwick University on behalf of the council has flagged up concerns from young people often viewing apprenticeships "negatively", possibly as a result of poor careers advice.
It also says that despite the surge in popularity, a survey of 3,000 people by Worcestershire's Youth Cabinet revealed that only 25 per cent of pupils felt their schools promoted apprenticeships.
The report says the council should have "grave concerns" about the data, which will be debated by the Conservative cabinet this spring.
The report was led by Councillor Ken Pollock, who chairs the economy, environment and communities scrutiny panel.
Councillor Simon Geraghty, deputy leader and cabinet member for economy, skills and infrastructure said: "I think it's an excellent piece of work and there's obviously things for us to pick up."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Anyone planning to cast a ballot this November but aren't registered yet, the clock is ticking. Floridians have until Tuesday night to register to vote in the general election.
For people who have waited until the last minute to secure their chance to vote in November, they'll have to go to an elections office or library to fill out a form.
There's no putting it off for another day because the deadline is Tuesday night. If you're not registered by then, you won't be able to vote in this years general election.
The Duval County Supervisor of Elections Office is a busy place this week as people get things squared away before the voter registration deadline.
"Usually there's that last minute, you know Jacksonville's kind of a walk up crowd, waiting until the last day," Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland said. "So we'll probably see quite a few come in on the last day.
Holland said there's been a great turn out in the last 30 days -- about 30,000 people have registered.
A total of 547,000 people in Duval County are registered. Holland hopes to break 550,000 before the deadline Tuesday night.
"Our office is going to stay open late, until 7:30, to give everyone that opportunity," Holland said. "You don't need to have your ID to register. It's a matter of showing your ID when you go to vote."
With about 80 percent of the county already registered, Holland reminds the other 20 percent how important of a role Duval County will play in the upcoming presidential election.
"It's considered Duval could be the one," Holland said. "If it has enough of a win for one candidate or the other, it could really be the turning point for Florida. Duval's typically gone conservative republican. John McCain even won in 2008, but again they say even if a republican wins here, they have to win by a large enough margin to offset south Florida.
The Supervisor of Elections Office Downtown is staying open late Tuesday night. You have until 7:30 to come in and register.
If someone has already registered but needs to change their address, they have until election day to do that and can do so online.

BAYTOWN, Texas - More than a dozen people are suspected to be behind more than two dozen Radio Shack robberies in the Houston area.
Fourteen of the suspects have been identified and many of them have been arrested.
One of the big breaks in the case came after one of the suspects was shot in Louisiana and ended up in Baytown.
On Jan. 24, a Radio Shack in Lake Charles, La., was robbed at gunpoint. The thieves then went to another store in Sulphur, La., and burglarized it, officials said.
Sulphur police were able to catch two suspects, 21-year-old Jason Barnes and 21-year-old James Cooper. A third suspect got away, but he was shot by a police officer, investigators said.
That suspect, 24-year-old Christian Earvin, was found a few hours later at San Jacinto Hospital in Baytown. He had a gunshot wound to his left leg and police wanted to know when he got it.
"He basically gave a false story as to how he was shot and who had shot him," Detective Edgar Elizondo said.
Officers began watching the hospital and arrested two people who came to visit him, Stacey Parker and Darianna Bridges. Police said they were also involved in the robberies and Louisiana and were the ones who took him to the hospital.
Investigators said those arrests led them to three more suspects – Elvis Lusk, Jarvis Hodge, Michael Holmes and Diego Chapman.
Detectives said all the suspects are members of a robbery ring that targeted at least 28 Radio Shack stores in the Houston area over the past two years.
Houston police said they've arrested other people believed to be in the ring. Those arrests were made after an off-duty officer shot one of them during an attempted robbery at a store on Interstate 10 near Gessner about three weeks ago.
Houston police declined to say how many people have been arrested, because the investigation remains open.
Nine people have been charged in the crimes in Louisiana.

DES MOINES, Iowa - Iowa Republicans go to their caucuses Tuesday night to talk it over and cast their ballots.
While six candidates are on the ballot, the polls show it could be a photo finish.
Three candidates have a shot at winning: former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and Houston area U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.
Earlier in the day at a town hall meeting in downtown Des Moines, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst told KPRC Local 2 that Rick Perry is increasingly invigorated by each campaign stop in Iowa, unaffected by lackluster polls.
Dewhurst continued, "I'm very, very optimistic really. It depends on who turns out this evening and if enough people turn out, I'm very optimistic on the governor's chances."
Hoping to sway the undecided, candidates like Bachmann, Paul and Santorum stumped for votes at a huge Rock the Caucus event.
Senior Anna Brown told KPRC Local 2, "I honestly don't know at this point. I'm just trying to listen and learn a little more about what I want to do before I make any decisions."
In Iowa, it's all about the undecided vote. At Valley High School in West Des Moines, where Rock the Caucus was held, there are 600 students who are eligible to vote in the caucuses Tuesday night and any of those could change the way this caucus goes.
Carlyn LaGrone is the very definition of undecided.
She said, "I feel like I would vote for Ron Paul or Newt Gingrich. I don't really agree with a lot that Michelle Bachmann says as well as Rick Santorum. Actually, I'd vote for Mitt Romney. I change my mind."
Senior Bernie Saggau said the only thing he can predict is he'll probably change his mind at the last minute.
He explained, "I'm kind of siding with Ron Paul a little bit and Newt Gingrich even though they're kind of rivals against each other and I like Mitt Romney."
It's that indecision that has the GOP candidates barnstorming until the very last minute.
Several of them will actually make stops at precincts across the state to give voters one final nudge.

It is important that applicants review the licensing requirements of the states or countries in which they hope to practice since mental health practice at the master's level varies widely. The coursework in this program was designed to meet or exceed the educational standards for professional counselors set forth by the state of Illinois and the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). Please see the most recent handbook for the MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling for a detailed description of the program: CMHC 2016-2018 Cohort Student Handbook (PDF) Integration of Faith and Counseling Faculty and students join together in actively exploring the integration of Christian faith and professional counseling practice. During the first year, students and faculty participate together in a year-long seminar entitled Foundations of Integration, which explores the impact of a Christian worldview on the developing identity of the professional counselor. During the practicum and internship in the second year, students and faculty participate in Internship Seminars focused on putting the concepts and theories of integration into practice. Many faculty members and students in the program have a strong interest in the interface of ministry and mental health practice. Many alumni of our program serve with or assist mission agencies and missionaries around the world. Other graduates serve in nontraditional roles that bring the training and values of the mental health field into ministry roles within the church. Members of the psychology department are active in teaching and training professionals, clergy and lay people around the world. Practicum and Internship Three semesters of clinical training give students the opportunity for hands-on training experiences. Students are assisted in the search for practicum and internship experiences that fit their professional goals and interests. A wide variety of clinical settings welcome applicants from the Wheaton College Master's Program including outpatient practices, church counseling centers, community mental health centers, inpatient treatment facilities and college counseling clinics. CMHC 2016-2018 Clinical Training Handbook (PDF) Personal Growth and Development Counseling All students enrolled in the program are required to engage in eight hours of personal growth counseling prior to the start of their Internship. The relationship between the student and the counselor is kept completely confidential. We believe that this experience enriches students' development as professional counselors and helps students to develop greater personal awareness and insight.

The Retreat, commonly known as the York Retreat, is an institution in England providing support and treatment for individuals experiencing mental illness. Opened in [1796, it is famous for having pioneered the humane treatment and moral therapy that became a model for asylums around the world. Founded by William Tuke, it was originally run by and for Quakers but gradually became open to everyone and its ethos and practices changed over the decades. Located on Lamel Hill in York, it operates as a not for profit charitable organisation.
The York Retreat developed from the English Quaker community both as a reaction against the harsh, inhumane treatment common to other asylums of that era and as a model of Quaker therapeutic beliefs. A specific trigger was the death in 1790 of a Quaker, Hannah Mills whilst in the York Asylum (now known as Bootham Park Hospital). Her death was attributed to poor treatment.
The Retreat was set up specifically to show, by contrast with the York Asylum, the advantages of enlightened methods. It was so successful that this led to the establishment of a House of Commons review which in 1814 recommended the reform of existing mental hospitals[1]
William Tuke took charge of the project. He had difficulty persuading members of the local Quaker group (York Monthly Meeting) to allocate money for the undertaking, spending two years issuing explanatory statements describing the fundamental principles of the proposed institution. The principles William Tuke formulated during those years were to become the essence of moral treatment, a revolutionary concept in the treatment of the mentally ill.[2]
With the help of the architect John Bevans[3] The Retreat opened in 1796. It started as a small institution for about 30 people. Treatment consisted of occupational therapy including walks and farm labouring; pleasant and quiet surroundings; and a social environment where patients were seen as part of a large family-like unit. Kindness, moderation, order and trust replaced the mechanical restraints and attempts to 'cure' that were common elsewhere. There was a religious dimension, including prayer. Inmates were accepted as rational beings who could recover proper social conduct through self-restraint and moral strength. They were permitted to wear their own clothing, and encouraged to engage in handicrafts, to write, and to read books. They were allowed to wander freely around The Retreat's courtyards and gardens, which were stocked with various small domestic animals.[4]
The Retreat did not engage in medical practice or teaching, and the role of physician was taken by an apothecary, Thomas Fowler.
In 1847 the first medical superintendent was appointed. Moral therapy was gradually replaced by medication, special diets and hydrotherapy. The size of the institution grew and the formerly close-knit community ethos was left behind. In addition, both Quaker influence and the number of Quaker patients reduced through the century. After the initial period for which it is best known, therefore, there were marked changes in management, therapy and client groups.[5]
Between 1880 and 1884, most patients of The Retreat were under 50, single, and non-Quaker. A majority met criteria for a diagnosis of schizophrenia or a mood disorder. The majority experienced delusions, with the most common being of persecution, grandeur and guilt, whilst about a third had religious content. Just under a third of patients were suicidal. Drug therapy was commonly prescribed. Just over a third of patients had a history of assault on other patients or asylum staff. About a tenth of patients were force-fed at some stage during their stay. About a half of patients were discharged within a year of admission, with the prognosis being better for patients with a mood disorder than for schizophrenia, but just under a third remained in the asylum for five or more years.[6]
More recently, The Retreat has pioneered human-animal bonding therapies [How to reference and link to summary or text]
The Retreat offers services for people through a range of mental health programmes, including specialist services for people with eating disorders and personality disorder. It also has rehabilitation services for people with psychosis and psychiatric services for older adults. The Retreat states that it provides mental healthcare that is unique to the person and values highly its original ethos. Although you do not have to have any connection to the Quakers to work or receive healthcare from The Retreat, there are still a number of employees who have a Quaker religious background and The Retreat has a Quaker chaplain.

Joseph Rowntree and Samuel Tuke (grandson of William Tuke) are buried in the Quaker cemetery found within the grounds.

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was miffed when Atlanta Braves pitcher Julio Teheran hit him intentionally Tuesday night after he admired a home run. But Harper kept up his general lack of class when he said if the Nationals were ahead and in the National League East race that he would "probably try and put him six feet under."
The festivities started when Harper walked five steps and watched his solo homer in the third inning before flipping his bat away. Harper, who didn't see a difference between that and Justin Upton taking his time on a homer Monday, had some harsh comments when asked if he should have charged the mound.
"I don't think I should charge the mound when they have a 14 1/2-game lead," Harper told CSN. "If we're ahead a couple of games, I probably try and put him six feet under."
While Harper said he respected Brian McCann's equally vocal confrontation as he walked down the first base line, he also took issue with the Nationals' pitchers not plunking a Braves hitter, despite umpire Joe West warning both teams.
"I think if I'm a pitcher on my team, I'm going to drill somebody," Harper said. "That's something that is a part of the game. Yesterday was something that I think can light a fire for us."
Unfortunately, it seems Harper won't learn until someone puts on in his ear.

Officers executed warrants in Southport, Knowsley and Fulwood in Preston, but no arrests have been made.
The warrants are part of an investigation into the running of One Connect, a company set up jointly by Lancashire County Council and telecom giant BT to save cash running council services.
The force was called in last year by the county's new Labour leadership over alleged financial irregularities involving the partnership's awarding of contracts County chief executive Phil Halsall was suspended from his £190,000-a-year post before leaving the authority's employ by 'mutual consent'.
The ruling Labour group discovered one of the men instrumental in setting up One Connect, David McElhinney, also boss of Liverpool Direct, had been paid more than £600,000 for two years' work when the county treasurer believed he was getting just £40,000 annually for two-and-a-half days a week.
Geoff Driver, leader of the Conservative group in power when One Connect was set up, claims the investigation is politically motivated and has issued a statement denying his Fulwood home was searched by police.
A Lancashire Constabulary spokesman said yesterday: "We can confirm that on Wednesday, February 12, officers from Lancashire Constabulary searched three addresses.
"The searches follow a referral from Lancashire County Council last year outlining concerns in relation to a number of financial irregularities.
"No-one has been arrested. Two men have attended a police station by pre-arranged appointment as part of an on-going investigation.
"We will also be speaking with a third man."
A spokesman for Lancashire County Council said: "The county council is continuing to co-operate with a police investigation but it would be inappropriate to comment any further at this stage."

Mike McCarthy loves the idea of his Green Bay Packers having something significant to play for in the Sunday's regular-season finale.
Sunday's NFC North championship game against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field gives McCarthy precisely what he wants. The winner not only earns the NFC North crown, it also get the NFC's No. 2 seed and the first-round playoff bye and divisional-round home game that go with it. Even the top NFC seed could come to the winner.
Both teams are 11-4, with the Lions having won the first meeting 19-7 at Ford Field on Sept. 21.
The loser Sunday will be a wild card and would have to go on the road in the playoffs, something the Packers, a perfect 7-0 at home, would like to avoid.
But to McCarthy, this setup is ideal: a playoff-style atmosphere with plenty on the line, and a chance for a week off and a home playoff game.

Any word on if this stops the new Plex exploit?
Plex exploit still works. Yeah! BUT! Boo! No DirecTV support for HBOGO or ESPN
Last night I was using it and it was working fine, today I updated and it says "Trailers is unreachable"
The only thing that has changed is it was updated.
If Apple is going to do anything like what I think they want to do, they better package it with wireless LTE service with ability to switch between providers. If you are going to be dependent on cable/FiOS not only you get reamed, other people without Apple TV also gets reamed because of you.

2007 Alumni Award recipients, L-R: Clifford Alexander, Jeanne Fisher, Rhian Evans Allvin, Dewey "Dick" Powell, John Campbell, NAU President John Haeger.
1964 BS Physical Education1969 BS Physical Education
John Campbell's nomination speaks of him as "a pebble in a pond changing the world one ripple at a time." His dynamic influence began with impressive personal and academic achievements at NAU, where he was president of Sigma Chi Omega fraternity, a member of Chain Gang, Homecoming King, and a Gold Axe Award recipient.In his vocation, during 32 years as a teacher in the Phoenix Union High School District at South Mountain and Alhambra High Schools, John's talent and goodwill permeated the lives of his students, their parents, and his peer educators. He has demonstrated consummate commitment to each of his many roles: as a fair and enthusiastic umpire, coach, Boy Scout scoutmaster; as a skilled and dedicated negotiator and advocate for the Phoenix Union Classroom Teachers' Association; and as president, presenter and champion of senior issues for the Arizona Education Association (AEA)-Retired Association. A lifelong educator, he continues to participate in the Intergenerational Mentoring Program, an AEA-sponsored project. Whether mentoring young teachers or volunteering as a "cuddler" of sick and premature infants at Thunderbird Samaritan Hospital, his compassionate and effective volunteerism has often served as an answered prayer.John Campbell's contributions to his community, gracing the lives of his fellow citizens across the full spectrum of generations, make him a worthy and extraordinary heir to the legacy of Dwight Patterson, and the NAU Alumni Association is indebted to him for his nonpareil example of genteel, proactive citizenship.
1966 BS Marketing
There is an old Russian proverb: "Don't buy the house; buy the neighborhood." With a powerful personal investment in his beloved community of Casa Grande, Arizona, Dewey Powell may very well be the quintessential good neighbor.As owner of Powell Feed & Supply & Western Wear, a 57-year fixture in Casa Grande, Dewey has certainly boosted area commerce. Thinking of both present and future, however, he has journeyed beyond his own personal concerns to labor in the city's economic trenches as both a member of the Casa Grande Chamber of Commerce and founder of the Greater Casa Grande Valley Economic Development Association. Dewey is not one to shy away from a challenge, and his committee work has delved into the intricacies of city budget and planning, building and development, and public safety. His communal diligence has also extended to youth advocacy as a 4-H Club Adult Leader; to law enforcement as a Life Member and Past President of the West Pinal County Sheriff's Posse and an officer in the Arizona National Guard; and as an ambassador of diversity for the O'Odham Tash Indian Days Celebration.In his award nomination, Dewey Powell is lauded as an unquenchable resource to his community, a talented policy maker, and a distinguished civic-minded person who exempts nobody from his good offices. The NAU Alumni Association thanks Dewey for his integrity of service, and his implicit philosophy that with good neighbors, there will be no need for good fences.
1994 BS Hotel & Restaurant Management
Any graduate of NAU would be proud of the compliment bestowed on Rhian Evans Allvin in her award nomination: "She epitomizes the NAU image: extremely effective but caring." Rhian's enthusiasm and empathy have already become trademarks of her outstanding professional and volunteer efforts.At NAU, Rhian won the coveted President's Prize and served as a student regent on the Arizona Board of Regents. She demonstrated her dedication to the body politic by working as Southern Arizona Field Coordinator for Eddie Basha's gubernatorial run. True to her spirit of stewardship, she helped donors connect their philanthropic interests with community needs at the Arizona Community Foundation. In key positions at Libraries for the Future and Children's Action Alliance, Rhian became a fierce proponent of high quality early childhood education. She spent four years nurturing Arizona's recent successful Ballot Initiative on Early Childhood Education, and was then appointed by Governor Napolitano to the implementation board. Rhian currently heads the Brecon Group, consulting in public and financial policy, advocacy and philanthropic advisory services.From extensive work throughout the state of Arizona, Rhian Evans Allvin has an instinctive, intimate knowledge of both urban and rural communities, and has developed strong personal relationships at every community level. Her nomination commends "an accomplished, amazing person, who inspires hope for the future." The NAU Alumni Association is proud of Rhian and grateful for her ability to effect positive change, her superlatively intelligent focus on our future, and above all the enduring gift of her human touch.

SWINDON Town chief executive Nick Watkins has confirmed that talks with a handful of potential new owners are at "an advanced stage".
The Robins are currently negotiating the sale of a large chunk of majority shareholder Andrew Black's 98 per cent stake in Town, after the Betfair founder stated that he is unwilling to pump any more of his personal wealth into the club.
The Advertiser understands there remain three parties whose interest is being treated with serious consideration by the Swindon board, of which one is believed to be ahead in their discussions.
It is understood that a deal could be reached as early as next week.
A new foreign owner is still not out of the question, but the Adver has learnt that a domestic consortium is currently leading the way.
Watkins moved to ease fans' worries by emphasising that talks regarding a potential takeover at the County Ground remain positive.
"STFC appreciates that the fanbase is anxious for news pertaining to the introduction of new investors to replace Andrew Black," he said.
"Since Andrew Black announced his desire to exit Swindon Town, some members of the STFC board have been working intensely in an effort to identify new investors and secure their interest.
"A number of potential investor groups have been identified and discussions with some are at an advanced stage but there is still some work to do, in order to bring this interest successfully home.
"Due diligence should take limited time because everything is prepared and the club records are very detailed, but time remains the issue and everything is being done achieve the time lines."
Away from the boardroom, the Advertiser has been told that reports linking Crystal Palace with a bid for Matt Ritchie are wide of the mark. It is understood that no formal approaches have been received for the winger.
Meanwhile, two products of Swindon's youth academy were yesterday day called up as standby to the Wales Under 21 squad for the clash with Iceland.
Aaron Oakley and Louis Thompson could now feature in the friendly, which is due to take place on February 6.
Finally, Town have announced an open training session will be held at the County Ground on Wednesday, February 13 - between 10am and 1pm - which fans are welcome to attend for free.
Four new dates have also been announced for stadium tours during the February half-term, priced at £8 for adults and £4 for concessions. The tours are scheduled to run between February 11 and 15. For more information and to book your place email email@example.com or call 08448801101.

Did you know?
The Kruger2Canyon Nature Reserve is the 411th UNESCO biosphere reserve registered.
The vast Kruger2Canyon Nature Reserve stretches from the Blyde River Canyon to the Kruger National Park. It includes large protected areas in its more than four million hectares of savannah, woodlands, montane grasslands and afromontane forests.
The nature reserve bridges the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces and is the boundary between the Mpumalanga Drakensberg escarpment and the central Lowveld.
The Kruger part of the Kruger2Canyon Nature Reserve is the Kruger National Park, while the canyon refers to the Blyde River Canyon – at 20km long and 700m deep, it is one of the world's most spectacular canyons. Because it is full of lush vegetation it's also recognised as the world's greenest canyon.
There's so much to do in this UNESCO-recognised biosphere reserve that you'll find it hard to choose. Fancy something adventurous? Then try river rafting, mountain biking, microlighting or rock climbing. You could also test your skills and your nerve at gorge swinging or abseiling.
Prefer something a little less fast and furious? Then take a gentle hike, go birdwatching, stargazing or fly fishing. Or try a round of golf, a hot air balloon ride or a picnic by a waterfall.
Although you can look out for the Big Five from your own vehicle or on a guided tour, you can also go on a guided walk in the Kruger National Park or in many of the region's private reserves. The area is teeming with game.
If you're into botany you'll be thrilled with the diversity of habitat and plant life. Interested in history and rock art? Then be sure to check out historical Iron Age sites and San rock paintings.
Whatever you choose to do or not to do, take time to enjoy and appreciate the beauty and diversity of one of South Africa's key ecological bioregions.

About the Book
This book is to mark the progress of my Shooting Ptown project. I'm going to photograph the buildings and scenes of Provincetown's Commercial St in approximately numerical order, a walking order. I won't get out everyday, nor will I get out at the same time or use the same equipment. I even get to define what a building is. (I'd love to go down the side streets but then I'd never get done!)
Every building has something worth seeing. Follow me and see what I see.
Note: I am not making any profit from these books. I'm charging $1 more than blurb charges, and that's only so I can track my order accurately. As these dollars come in I'll be donating them to the The AIDS Support Group, Helping Our Women, and CASAS Animal Shelter.

Thinking Particles - SubFrame Emission
Posted 05 January 2012 - 11:40 AM
This is my first topic on mograph.net, so please be patient, and tell me if somethings wrong with this. Lately I've been talking to Chris on the CS-Tools topic about subframe emission, and I couldn't stop until i found a solution. This one is pretty fast and simple, and not using the velocity trick at all. I hope you'll learn something new from this.
The technique helps you to understand the power of xpresso, which is nowadays got into the background because of python, which is of course far more powerful, but xpresso is underrated right now. I think i'm alone with this thinking, but adapting python functions as xpresso nodes would be great. Visual programming is the way programming should go (at least for designers). But to get on topic:
What is happening here, is that xpresso is based on frames, so it is being calculated every frame at once(every frame the nodes are triggered). But nodes can be triggered with inputs as well, so this technique takes advantage of this fact. Based on the current and the last position, a number of positions will be generated, and being inputted (sorry for making up words) to the pstorm node, which will eventually run, and emit the particles, creating a fluid particle emission.
I also show some pyrocluster optimization, but i'll make it a little more deep of you seem to care about this tutorial at all
Best of wished to everyone here, and please don't be lazy, push some buttons on the keyboard and tell me your thoughts. I know I'm new here, but I really like this community. Found some very helpful/nice friends and coworkers here!

using the difference between the previous and the current position of the Null is the same as using the veloctiy. The only difference is that the velocity you calculate is in units/frame while the velocity value is in units/second.
Edited by Srek, 05 January 2012 - 02:59 PM.
Posted 05 January 2012 - 03:17 PM
I'm not really familiar with the "Previous" Ports,
although it seems you can use them like a Memory Node with a History Level of 1.
I understand that "calculating the difference between previous position and actual position"
gives you a number of "sub" positions, and that the PStorm Node gets updated for each "sub" event,
so you have a fixed and controllable set of updates per frame, or "subframes", right ?
That is an interesting insight that might have a few good uses.
What you're doing with it in the video seems to be a nice addititon to the Position Velocity trick as explained by Tim Clapham ( http://www.helloluxx...king-particles/).
I'm not sure how new this insight actually is, i remember reading srek about this on some forum that i can't seem to isolate from the google index, but it's definitely some nice exploration.
I also like the "Particular feel" you're working on there.
cheers barátom,
Keep up the great research.
EDIT : ahh, i see bjorn already replied. Balazs, can you do some comparisons between the 2 ?
EDIT 2 : i also found that related post on http://www.postforum...i=90352&t=90317
the position velocity output will give you a vector that represents the movement of the object from the last frame to the current in units/second. A position velocity of (100/-200/300) would be a movement of +100 units on the x-axis, -200 on y-axis and +300 units on z-axis within one second. To calculate the frame to frame speed you have to devide this by the FPS setting you can get from the time node.
Same goes for rotation velocity using radians.
If you want the velocity based on a specific frame base you can use the previous positon/rotation node. History depht has to be set to a greater value then history level to store information on the set number of frames.
By calculating the difference between position and previous position you get the velocity with the set frame number (history level) as base.
Hope this helps

Hi Balazs,

Hm. Interesting. I'm going to try out if i can achieve the same results. Basically this technique shows how you can make a lot of points between the previous and the current, and the velocity trick won't make any new particles. Thanks for the feedback, from you it's an honor
Posted 05 January 2012 - 03:45 PM
Anyone up to the task? it's a bit beyond my math skills.
Posted 06 January 2012 - 12:06 AM
What is happening here, is that xpresso is based on frames, so it is being calculated every frame at once(every frame the nodes are triggered). But nodes can be triggered with inputs as well, so this technique takes advantage of this fact.
This is very nice - I didn't know we could trigger nodes by firing multiple inputs, or maybe I did know it but didn't see the potential... either way - nice technique, definitely good enough to get past the 'puffy space rocket' problem we all know so well...
Posted 08 January 2012 - 02:18 PM
A realy interesting approach would be to extrapolate several previous positions to get a curved instead of linear distribution of positions.
Anyone up to the task? it's a bit beyond my math skills.
I was thinking about the same thing, for null objects it can be done, but using a tracer to catch the motion and then emitting from the spline seems easier (since you'll have indexable points instead of frame based calculation.)
I am trying to use the memory node with particles. Here's a simple scene with a very interesting problem:
Scene File
I'm using a ppass node, and i'm connecting it to a memory node (tp particle mode). I'm getting the data from both of the tp particle outputs. When i'm using the memory node to simply pass through the particles, the same particles are being created, (as you can see on the video).
When i switch the memory node to output a previous state, the same particles are born again, bot the one from the memory node will place all particles to the same position. (this means that the pstorm node runs the same, but always get the first particles info only.)
What i'm doing wrong?
Posted 09 January 2012 - 04:31 AM
I'm afraid you need to come up with another way to store the values.
Maybe Michael's tp+python walkthrough will put you in a useful direction.
He uses custom Data Channels and python to store velocity values for individual Particles, for later use.
//////////////////////////////////// douwe on vimeo
Posted 10 March 2012 - 10:55 PM
Distance Variation Parameters inside the PStorm Node. With a high velocity value no one will see if the particles are emitted
exactly from the Emitters position or a little bit in front of it.
Posted 14 March 2012 - 12:24 PM
Not sure if this was mentioned already, but the cheapest trick to get rid of the "puffy space rocket" problem is to use the Distance and
Distance Variation Parameters inside the PStorm Node. With a high velocity value no one will see if the particles are emitted
exactly from the Emitters position or a little bit in front of it.
I created a little xpresso script for subframe emission using thinking particles and custom data channels , i'll send it to you this weekend Of course this is still a linear calculation, the real solution would be to convert the previous positions to spline points, subdivide them, and get the point values from the subdivisions. Sounds like a complicated python script :S

Fractured Light
The Best Dark Fiction by Thomas Williams
de Thomas Williams
Acerca del libro
"Through this window lies a world that no one sees
and no one knows . . .
. . . where nightmares grow."
From villanelles and sonnets to free verse and experimental forms, from vampires and serial killers to failed writers and broken hearts, "Fractured Light" is a poet's illustrated journey into the macabre, fragmented world beyond the cracked glass of ordinary reality, reaching its climax with a new, chilling short story.
Where will you be when the lights go out?

Acerca del creador
There isn't much to say really, apart from what you already know. I think writing isn't just about putting words down on paper - writing is the art of adding substance to dreams, of pulling rabbits out of hats and, most of all, taking the light out of the darkened alleyway and seeing what shadows emerge. Writing is about taking risks; at some point in your literary life you'll find yourself on a cliff-edge, staring down into the unknown. Somewhere in that terrifying, inky night is a glimmer of a story or a poem or a song, and if you're crazy enough to jump, you might just catch it. I don't know if I'm any good at catching that firefly of an idea and turning it into English, but I hope that I can at least shed a little of its light onto the pages of a book, and hence into your hands, to do with as you will. Otherwise, I'm just the guy who's crazy enough to jump off that cliff-edge.

The mask.
I'm just gonna put it out there...shouldn't there be an article for the mask that was used to summon the shinigami, you know like a tool article or something? Darksusanoo (talk) 08:29, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
Agreed. --X29 11:43, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
So im gonna assume that since the 4 Hokages and Orochimaru's arms that were sealed inside the Shinigami were released, it would mean the same to Kurama's Yin chakra right? --Ukiyaejl (talk) 09:45, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Probably but unless it's shown, it's just speculation TricksterKing (talk) 09:50, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
Not necessarily. Why you ask? 'Cause if Kurama's Yin chakra was released, then there'd be more souls released too, which I doubt. In other words, I think only the souls of the four Hokages were released. Nothing more, nothing less. --X29 11:41, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
The Kurama's Yin is inside of Minato--Elveonora (talk) 14:34, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Actually the chakra should be inside the Shinigami. He used the Dead Demon which means Minato became a sacrifice, not a jinchūriki. Doesn't seemed like it was unsealed though, maybe chakra works differently than physical things.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:37, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
When he seals Kurama, you can see it's soul merged with his--Elveonora (talk) 14:41, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
@Elveonora Impossible. Minato used the Reaper Death Seal to seal Kurama's chakra within the Reaper, not within himself. Not the way it works. --X29 14:43, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
There were actually six lights emerging from the shinigami, four for the hokages, one for the arms and one for the yin chakra of Kurama. —This unsigned comment was made by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) .
Sign your comments, I see only five--Elveonora (talk) 21:02, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
the scroll/mask
As stated, we should mention them as tools in Death God article or Uzumaki Clan etc.--Elveonora (talk) 11:38, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed. --X29 11:43, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
This chapter has Kanji or Rōmaji?--Samemaru 18:15, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
- No raw available yet. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:36, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
So, looking in the chapter, the scroll had the kanji for "Dead Demon Consuming Seal", and what appears to be the kanji for "release" (kai), similar to the one in Tsunade's Yin Seal: Release. I think we should consider the possibility of making a "Dead Demon Consuming Seal: Release" article. We have other sealing technique examples which make pairs of sealing and unsealing, more specifically, Evil Sealing/Release Method and Five Elements Seal/Unseal. Another technique article we might consider creating is the technique that was used to grant passage to the Naka Shrine. We don't actually see it, but the technique is mentioned. This is also not the first time a technique is used to allow passage somewhere. Itachi was mentioned to have gone through the barrier protecting Konoha undetected because he knew the proper pass technique to do so, and Deidara performed something similar to get into Akatsuki's hideout to extract Shukaku from Gaara. These should also be considered for creation in my opinion. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:36, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
I agree, looks like a separate technique, a counterpart to the one used by Minato--Elveonora (talk) 20:50, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
I do agree it's different altogether, but i believe it's the effect of the mask more than anything else...so maybe wes should make an article on the mask as a tool. Darksusanoo (talk) 22:51, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
It can be a ninjutsu which requires the tool. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:10, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Not sure 'bout that. Tool's more like it. --X29 02:52, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
- There's the tool, and then there's the technique used with the tool. Think Bashōsen. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:44, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
What kind of?
Hey, can i ask in this chapter,what kind of Zetsu clone did they use as sacrifice for the Edo tensei, white zetsu army or just parasite clones? and if they're just parasite clone shoudn't we put it in the technique article thatsome kinds of clone can be used as sacrifices and not just living humans are necessesary? opinion?Saeyatachi (talk) 07:39, January 31, 2013 (UTC)Saeyatachi
- The latter. This chapter seems to confirm that White Zetsu's parasite clones and Spore Technique clones are one and the same.--BeyondRed (talk) 12:38, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
Trivia Worthy?
Is it trivia worthy to mention that the panel showing Sasuke surveying Konoha atop a pole, it very similar to the way Naruto first surveyed Konoha after his two year training back in chapter 245? Even their words are closely matched. Sparxs77 (talk) 11:38, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
- Not really. Standing atop the pole might just be the best way to do it.~ UltimateSupreme 11:41, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, let me rephrase, the way both panels were drawn looks similar to each other. They are just mirror images. Whereas Naruto says: "This place hasn't changed one bit", Sasuke says "This place has changed quite a bit" Kishi-sensei probably did this to show the fact that (at their respective times for both Naruto and Sasuke) it was their first time seeing their village in quite some time. Though it was a nice easter egg that was left for the readers. Just thought I would bring it up... Sparxs77 (talk) 11:47, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
- From what Orochimaru said he probably did it as well or something. Still I don't think it's worth pointing out. Mentioning in his article sure and in the summary if possible is also all-right.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:45, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
- We mentioned the similarity between both times Zabuza attacked Kakashi through Haku, I think it's ok to point this one as well. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:44, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Appearance of the Hokage change
Is it noteworthy to add in the appearance of their state when under the Summoning Technique: Impure World Reincarnation? They have darkened eyes as well as cracks all over their body. This sort of was taken into account with all the other reincarnated shinboi. Should the Hokages be taken into account as well?184.108.40.206 (talk) 22:03, February 1, 2013 (UTC)David
- Cracks were taken in account when describing the effects of the technique, which isn't really the point in this chapter. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:13, February 2, 2013 (UTC)
If he knew about this...
If Orochimaru knew about this... why did he only now decide to go there and unseal his own arms, rather than just doing this to begin with? How did he suddenly know exactly where the mask was hidden? Assuming SOMEONE in the village knew about the mask (which they had to,) why was this location left completely unguarded? SvenBoogie (talk) 07:18, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
- He would take the risk of coming back?
- Apparantly, everyone was (is) busy fighting the war.~ UltimateSupreme 07:30, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
Them being in the middle of a war would only be MORE reason to protect such an incredibly powerful and important location, not less... as to the risk, it didn't even need to be him, he could have sent Kabuto or anyone else at all to release the seal and restore his arms. SvenBoogie (talk) 07:34, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think anyone knew about it.
- Anyways, It would make more sense to have stronger people on the battlefield.~ UltimateSupreme 07:50, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
That's an unbelievable stretch. What you're saying is, everyone who ever used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal had no idea there was a mask connected to it, and that despite the complete wipe out of the entire Uchiha clan, no one figured out there was anything there. You are also implying that in an entire village full of shinobi, there was nobody at all who could be left behind to guard the area, and that every strategist and decision maker in the village saw no problem with that idea. SvenBoogie (talk) 07:59, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
If you view the translation on Manga Stream, go to page 12, and it clearly shows that the reason they knew about it, was because of the scroll Suigetsu tells them about it. There's also the picture of the Shinigami mask on the scroll, that's how Orochi knew it was the right one. SusanooUnleashed (talk) 08:49, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
Ah, thanks, that largely clears it up, although the whole completely unguarded thing still seems odd. SvenBoogie (talk) 09:40, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
He couldn't send Kabuto to retrieve it (fully guarded village at the time and the latter is a missing ninja) and couldn't go there himself either for those reasons. Then he got absorbed by Sasuke and killed by Itachi, so there's your answer. Only now he had an opportunity to do so.--Elveonora (talk) 17:14, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
The Uzumaki clan was scattered through the globe, and there's indication that should they still exist, they no longer know of their heritage. Nobody was keeping watch on the masks because no one knew about them. This isn't a forum, if you want to simply ask questions, go to the Naruto Answers wiki. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:53, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
- I was not 'simply asking questions,' I thought there was a legitimate plot hole in this story and was trying to determine if it was worth mentioning on the page. If you have a problem with it, next time send me a private message instead of trying to look like a badass on the talk page. SvenBoogie (talk) 06:08, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
- First of all, indent your posts properly.
- Secondly, this isn't a forum board. We deal with facts that have been presented to us. We donot speculate or guess.
- If you want to ask general questions, go to our Answers Wiki.--~ UltimateSupreme 06:23, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Detroit's shipping industry exploded in the early 1800s as canal and steamship routes opened the city to new markets. Laborers began arriving from around the world: Germans, Irish and Italians in the mid-1800s, Poles in the late 1800s, and Greeks in the early 1900s.
In the early 1900s, Ford Motor Co. and other auto builders attracted another wave of workers to Detroit. A close-knit Arab community developed in the 1920s. Immigration laws tightened in 1927, but Southerners still poured in. By World War II, 200,000 African-Americans lived in Detroit. The Black Bottom area on the near east side became a thriving African-American enclave that gave rise to Motown music.

At Carilion Clinic we're honored to be the first and only hospital in western Virginia able to treat patients with severe aortic stenosis (hardening of the aortic valve) with an effective, potentially life-saving new therapy, Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). Sometimes called Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), this is a ground-breaking treatment for patients with aortic valves that do not open properly, a condition that is known as severe aortic stenosis.
TAVR is a minimally invasive, first-of-its-kind, artificial heart valve replacement procedure. It requires no major surgery, making it a treatment option for many patients who are not candidates for traditional open heart surgery or for whom surgery would be especially risky.
For the thousands of Americans diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis each year who are unable to have traditional valve replacement surgery, TAVR procedure has the potential to not only improve the quality of life but to extend it.
After a patient has been evaluated in the Structural Heart and Valve Center by our team of physicians and providers, our multidisciplinary team meets to review each case individually to make a care plan and schedule the procedure.
Performed in our hybrid operating room, TAVR treatment essentially replaces a severely calcified heart valve with an artificial one. It requires no incision because the valve is sent to the heart via a catheter. There are currently three approaches to this surgery.
Currently, we are using the Edwards SAPIEN valve and the Medtronic CoreValve valve. The CoreValve has a much smaller delivery system, which has broadened our range of patients who can be treated less invasively with the TAVR procedure.
Multimedia Gallery
Medtronic's CoreValve can be inserted into an artery (usually through the leg) and then guided to the site of the narrowed valve in the heart.
The Edwards SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve is a biological (made from animal tissue) valve that replaces your aortic valve. The TAVI procedure allows the new valve to be inserted while your heart is still beating.
The three approaches of TAVR: Transfemoral, Transapical and Transaortic.
Transfemoral transcatheter
This is the more commonly used approach in which the valve is inserted through an artery in the groin.
Transapical transcatheter
For patients who may not have adequate vascular access to accommodate during the transfemoral approach, the valve can be delivered through the apex of the heart by making a small incision between the ribs.
Transaortic (also called direct aortic)
This approach is also for patients who may not have adequate vascular access to accommodate a transfemoral approach. The valve can be delivered directly into the diseased aortic valve through a small incision made on the sternum.
All approaches are a minimally invasive procedure and similar to balloon angioplasty and stent placement treatments.
For more information on how TAVR can treat aortic stenosis, visit NewHeartValve.com.
To find out how Carilion Heart Valve Center can help you, or to see if you are a candidate for TAVR, please email our Care Coordinator, Sheree Emore, N.P., at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call 540-266-6520.

Source: Gillislee signs with Miami
Published: Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 11:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 11:16 p.m.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms with former Florida running back Mike Gillislee, the first of the team's two fifth round selections.
Once the signing is official, Gillislee will join fellow former Gators Jelani Jenkins and Caleb Sturgis along with Dion Sims and Don Jones as rookie draft picks who have signed with the team.
Gillislee had an impressive senior year for the Gators in 2012 as he rushed for 1,152 yards and 10 touchdowns. Gillislee joins a young Dolphins running back room that includes Lamar Miller, Daniel Thomas, Jonas Gray, Marcus Thigpen and undrafted rookie free agent Cameron Marshall.

I take it that everyone has seen the insulting picture on the cover of the February 22 edition of Focus, a lightweight German news magazine? Under the headline "Swindlers in the euro family", it shows the Venus de Milo statue, a monument of ancient Greek civilisation, sticking up a middle finger at Germany. In this way the magazine's editors convey, as offensively as possible, the idea that debt-ridden Greece is robbing Germany blind by forcing it to come to Greece's financial rescue.
The Greek response has been predictably furious. The Greek consumers' federation has called for a boycott of German goods, commenting that Greeks were creating timeless works of art like the Venus de Milo at a time when Germans were "eating bananas in the trees". Read more

Pender County Animal Shelter has failed a state inspection after an inspector found sick cats and poor sanitation.
Pender County Animal Shelter has failed a state inspection after an inspector found sick cats and poor sanitation.
A random inspection by the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services on March 11 found problems with veterinary care, kennels, sanitation and the location of the cat isolation area. In the report, four inspection categories – Food and bedding protected, Enclosures in sound repair, Build/grnds, clean & repair and Veterinary care when needed – each received a result of "Not Acceptable" from the inspector.
Many of the problems identified during the inspection dealt with how cats are handled in the shelter.
Inspector Pat Sholar found 18 sick cats with matted eyes and nasal mucus that had not received medical care. The cats were later euthanized. Sholar also found seven cats in one kennel with two liter pans. The standard ratio is one pan per three cats. The report also said two cats were held in traps from March 8 to March 11 without a litter pan and feces were found on the floor where they sat.
"Cats brought in the shelter must be housed in an enclosure that meets the space requirement and provided a litter pan, food and water…if space is limited advised manager not to allow traps to be set unless there is an adequate shelter enclosure available…" Sholar wrote in her report.
Sholar said the shelter's cat isolation area is "in a poor location" because "workers must pass through the healthy cat room, therefore may easily transmit disease to the healthy cats."
Sholar also found holes in the metal kennel walls of the indoor K-9 kennels and noted that dogs were urinating and sticking their feet through the holes. She said the holes must be covered and that "chewed" dog houses and outdoor kennels be replaced.
Shelter Manager Darlene Clewis said Friday fixing some of the problems cited in the report has already begun.
"In the future, we're going to see about putting a cat adoption room in front of the shelter instead of in back of the shelter, so we're working on that," Clewis said.
Clewis said covers were being put on both sides of the K-9 kennels to eliminate the holes, adding that two outside dog houses and outside "chewed" kennels were replaced.
The shelter, placed under the oversight of the county manager earlier this year, will undergo a follow-up inspection on March 25.

Do you spend way too much time on Facebook? Cut back with a new device that shocks users who overindulge.
Developed by MIT students Robert R. Morris and Dan McDuff, the "Pavlov Poke" monitors your computer usage and actually delivers a shock to your wrist through the keyboard rest if it finds that you're online too much.
The pair estimates they once spent as much as 50 hours a week on Facebook, and developed the device as a way to cut back.
"It monitors application usage and if you spend too much time on a particular website or application it will give you a shock," McDuff said in a promo video. "The shock is unpleasant but not dangerous."
Of course, the whole thing is meant to be somewhat of a tongue-in-cheek joke.
The duo previously attempted to cure themselves of their Facebook addiction by hiring strangers to call and berate them when they spent too much time on the social media site, according to Tech Crunch.
