Joyce Ann Hamar went to be with her Lord and Savior Jan. 27, 2010. She had been a resident of Manor Care in Reno, Nev., for the last five years.
Joyce was born July 18, 1931, in Elmira, N.Y., to Lucille and Ray Green. Her family migrated west to Northern California where her father worked in forestry. Joyce graduated from Lassen Union High School in 1950.
It was in Susanville that Joyce met her future husband, Bruce Hamar. They married May 13, 1951. They had three children and moved to Sparks, Nev., where they lived for more than 20 years.
The family enjoyed taking many camping trips throughout Nevada and California.
After raising their children, Joyce and Bruce returned to Indian Valley and lived in Greenville. Bruce passed away in 1996, and Joyce soon returned to Reno where her oldest daughter, Christy, provided for her care until her death.
Joyce is survived by her brother Arthur Green; children Christy Fermoile, Reno; Carol Clausen, Litchfield, Minn.; and John Hamar, Greenville. She also has three grandchildren, Jessica and Kelly Clausen and Nicholas Fermoile.
Family and friends are invited to attend a gathering of remembrances at the Main Street Dinner House, at 11 a.m. with burial following at 1 p.m., at the Greenville Cemetery.
Robert H. St. Germain passed away peacefully Feb. 11, 2010, at his home in Blairsden, with his wife Gloria at his side. He and Gloria were very grateful for the love, guidance and support provided by so many — particularly Pastor Mike Preston, caregivers Kim and Heidi from hospice, and Kathy Roth and Pat Grew, also from hospice, who always put a smile on his face.
Bob was born Dec. 20, 1931, in Plattsburgh, N.Y., to George Henry St. Germain and Louise Arnold St. Germain.
After graduation from high school in 1950, he enlisted in the Navy to satisfy his desire for travel. After receiving an honorable discharge from the Navy in 1954, Bob attended Plattsburg State University graduating in 1960 with a BS in education.
During his senior year he was elected president of the House of Delegates, the student governing body. It was the first time a student had ever been elected as a write-in candidate.
He also founded a chapter of the Student Education Association of New York State, and was elected first vice-president of the Student National Education Association.
The university had prepared him well for teaching, and he taught sixth grade for three years in White Plains, N.Y. However, his education and experiences led Bob to make a greater contribution to education through a long and rewarding career as a teacher advocate.
He served four years as a staff member with the New York State Teachers Association, three years as executive director of the Rochester Teachers Association, one year as a negotiation specialist with the National Education Association, five years as executive director of the Palm Beach County Florida Teachers Association and 20 years as the executive director of the Fresno Teachers Association.
Shortly after arriving in Fresno in 1975, Bob met Gloria, the love of his life. They were married in South Lake Tahoe Nov. 24, 1990, and they enjoyed 19 more years together.
All those who knew him and shared time on the golf course with him, would agree that golf was Bob's number one passion. He especially enjoyed his times playing with friends at Fig Garden Golf Course.
After retirement, Bob and Gloria moved to the Graeagle area to enjoy the beautiful mountains and golf courses of the Sierra Nevada. He loved the many rounds of golf enjoyed with children, grandchildren and good friends.
Bob was preceded in death by his father, George and mother, Louise St. Germain and his brothers, Barney and Richard St. Germain. Bob is survived by his wife Gloria; daughter Tina Kunkel; sons, William Kandarian (Brandi), Michael Kandarian (Denise); Arthur Mendoza (Lisa); Nick Kunkel; seven grandchildren, Ashley Gaynor (Las Vegas, Nev.), Brian Gaynor (Clovis), Weston and Wade Kandarian (Fresno), Cassie, Stephanie and Dylan Kandarian (Fresno); one great-grandson, Noah James Dacanay (Las Vegas); mother-in-law Toni Chavez (Orosi); as well as three brothers, John St. Germain (Maryann) of Cadyville, N.Y., Jim St. Germain (Joyce) of Plattsburg, N.Y., George St. Germain of Katyville, N.Y.; and three sisters, Mary Welhouse (Jim) of Wisconsin, Pat St. Germain of Florida, Kate Williams of Plattsburg, N.Y.; sister-in-law Sandy St. Germain; and 21 nieces and nephews.
A memorial service was held Friday, Feb. 19, in Fresno. Bob will be buried in Plattsburg, N.Y., with a memorial service to be held there at a later date.
The family suggests donations may be made to Tahoe Forest Hospice, PO Box 7569, Truckee, CA 96160.
Barbara Powers passed away Feb. 13, 2010, after a battle with cancer. She was born March 10, 1944, to Earl and Thelma Bolton who preceded her in death, and was raised on a chicken farm in San Leandro.
Barbara was the youngest of three children.
She met George Edward in 1965 while working for Dailey Chevrolet. They married June 17, 1967, and he was the love of her life.
They moved to Union City where she worked at East Bay Excavating until she retired.
She had always dreamed of a home in the country where she could look out at a meadow and cows. They found that property in Clio.
While she still worked they started to build their home. Upon retiring they moved in. Their home was built for entertaining and with George at her side as her sous chef, she made fabulous dinners. Her hobby was to cook, entertain family and friends or plan an outing with those she loved. She loved to play any kind of card game and Chinese checkers.
She passed away at their home. At her bedside was husband George, brother and sister-in-law Ed and Barbara Bolton, sister and brother-in-law Nancy and Neil Linfoot, niece and husband Kari and Doug White, nephew Mark Bolton; stepchildren David Powers and Laurie Craig.
She also leaves behind great-nephews Chance, Macklin, Caleb and their mother Danette Bolton, stepdaughter Wendy Byrd, step-grandchildren, Ryan and Natalie Powers, Alexander and Patrick Craig and Cody and Angela Byrd and many, many friends in and around Valley Ranch.
Rowena Minor, 93
Our angel mom passed away peacefully in her sleep at home, on Valentine's Day, at the age of 93. She had been healthy and enjoying life to its fullest up to the time she left us.
We will miss her greatly and will love her forever. She was as good, kind and sweet as they come and her loving spirit enriched the lives of all she met.
She is survived by her three loving daughters, Charlene Light, Jeanne Minor, and Carolyn Candy, her son-in-law John Candy, her grandchildren Ravenna and Nick Candy, and her great-grandson Jackson.
Preceding her in passing were her devoted husband of 70 years, Gordon Minor, her grandson David Candy and her two brothers, Mer and Art Ammer.
Rowena was born in Ferndale, and received her BA from Humboldt State University. She taught at Hillcrest Elem. in Oakland, where she and Gordon raised their family.
She and Gordon spent many years living on Lake Almanor and in Chester. They put on a multitude of musical programs at the Lake Almanor Country Club and enjoyed their retirement there.
Rowena loved life and was an adventurous spirit. Her favorite activities were reading, bridge, scrabble, playing her piano, walking, traveling, golf and dancing in her younger years.
A celebration of her life will be held in Ukiah at the Center for Spiritual Living at 741 S. Oak Street, Sunday, March 7, at 3 p.m. All are welcome to attend.
Condolences may be sent to Charlene Light, 194 Gardens Avenue, Ukiah, CA 95482.
Gerald Jack (Jerry) Brush peacefully passed away at home in Red Bluff Friday, Feb. 19, 2010.
Born in Westwood Jan. 31, 1927, Jerry and his wife Petra, whom he met in Westwood, have enjoyed a wonderful, 65-year marriage.
In addition to Petra, Jerry is survived by daughter Karen Wharton of Chester, and John of Sacramento, five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
From childhood, Jerry was an outdoorsman. He hunted and fished local territories and beyond with much success.
Completing high school in 1945, Jerry immediately joined the Navy. Most of his duty was in the Western Pacific. He worked in the logging and lumber industry his entire working life, most of it spent with Collins Pine Company in Chester.
In retirement, Jerry and Petra' s social life centered on golf and the warm friendships they nurtured. Only in the last four years did Jerry escape to the gentler valley climate.
At Jerry's request, there will be no services. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to St. Elizabeth Hospice, 1425 Vista Way, Red Bluff, CA 96080 or a charity of your choice.
John Elmer Rilea
Longtime Greenville resident John Elmer Rilea passed from this life peacefully, to join his wife in their eternal home with the Lord Sunday evening, Feb. 21, 2010, at Country Villa-Quincy. His loving family was at his side.
Born 90 years ago, Nov. 10, 1919, in Sentinel Butte, N.D., to the late Harry and Alice (Percell) Rilea,
John was raised and educated in North Dakota. At the age of 17, he and his family moved west to work for the railroad, first in Little Valley and later in Indian Falls, Keddie and Portola.
April 4, 1938, John married the former Muriel Orsela Ness in a ceremony in Hayward. This holy union was blessed with six children.
John entered the armed forces in 1945, and was soon honorably discharged at the conclusion of World War II. He returned to Plumas County to work in Keddie before opening a cleaners in Portola that he and the family ran for two years.
John then returned to Greenville where he went to work in tunnel construction for approximately five years and for the Collins family at their mill in Chester, retiring as a maintenance welder after more than 20 years of service to the company.
In his retirement he continued to keep active as a meter reader for the former Bidwell Water Company and helped out occasionally at McMullen Sand and Gravel.
John was a devoted member of the Lutheran faith. Elder Rilea served the congregation in just about every capacity the church could call upon him. He was instrumental in the original construction of the church as well as being there to help supervise the expansion of the church building in the mid-80s.
John was a member of the Indian Valley Riding and Roping Club in its early years as well as a longtime member of the Lumber and Industrial Workers Union Local 3074.
He had a passion for pitching horseshoes and as a founding member of the Indian Valley Horseshoe Pitching Association was recently honored with a lifetime membership.
He was also a member of the National Horseshoe Pitching Association. John enjoyed giving back to his community and was an active member of the Greenville Senior Gleaners, as well as a regular at the Greenville Senior Nutrition Site. He also found enjoyment in raising farm animals, as well as playing cribbage and pinochle.
In passing John leaves his children Leonard Rilea of Redding, Sylvia Quam of Susanville, Mark and his wife Esther Rilea of Greenville, Karen Maxey of Greenville and Mary Dillon of Susanville; sister Florence Alberts of Mt. Ranch, 11 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren along with numerous nieces and nephews. He was anxiously expecting his first great-great-grandchild in August of this year.
Along with his loving wife Muriel, John joins his son Lawrence J. Rilea, brothers Charles, Jim, Barney and Kenny and sisters Ethel and Fannie in their eternal home.
A celebration of John's life will take place at 1 p.m., Saturday, March 6, at his beloved First Lutheran Church of Greenville. Inurnment along with his late wife will follow in the Greenville District Cemetery.

Handheld devices might be all the rage, but editing documents or spreadsheets on them is still difficult. Mobile OSes are getting better, though, and some applications can provide relief. Here's your guide to the current options.
Lately, we hear a lot about people replacing laptops with slates, or trying to perform work tasks on a mobile phone. But how viable is it, really, to work on a mobile device that isn't a laptop running Windows or even Mac OS X? What if it isn't running Microsoft Office or can't run Office? What if the screen size or lack of a physical keyboard or pointing device gets in the way?
Having been an iPhone user since 2007, I've tried many times to write articles or other lengthy content on my iPhone. I don't believe you can -- at least not very easily. There are several problems with it. But most of these aren't unique to the iPhone.
For a long time, the iPhone didn't allow you to connect a keyboard, so you'd need to use the on-screen keyboard. Try typing 3,000 words and editing them repeatedly using a tiny on-screen keyboard -- it would be an exercise in frustration, to be kind. You can now connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the iPhone (and iPad) beginning with iOS 4, as you can with some Android devices, but then you still have to deal with the screen and find some method or tool to prop up the phone for typing.
Windows Phone 7, even with the 7.5 update (formerly code-named "Mango"), does not allow for Bluetooth keyboards to be connected. Android tablets running the tablet-optimized version of that OS code-named "Honeycomb" do support Bluetooth keyboards. One immediate advantage to full Windows-based tablets would be the ability to connect to Bluetooth, or any keyboard for that matter.
Before leaving Microsoft, I was a fan of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition -- my first system was one of the first slates, a Motion Computing Tablet PC. The system had many of the same weaknesses. While it let you use handwriting, my handwriting -- I'll admit it -- is atrocious, and OneNote did not translate my chicken scratches well. Rather than using the on-screen keyboard (osk.exe), I relied on an external USB keyboard and a folding folio case -- amusingly, the same configuration I use with my iPad now, albeit over Bluetooth instead of USB.
While the iPhone 4 dramatically improved the clarity of the display, it's still a very small display on which to try and render complex text or Office documents and retain formatting and richness. This isn't unique to the iPhone, either. Android and Windows Phone 7 may offer marginally larger screens (some more than four inches in size, depending on the device), but the simple fact is that no mobile phone makes a great replacement for a 10-inch or larger screen. Try editing a Word table, Excel worksheet or PowerPoint document on a four-inch screen -- it becomes challenging, if you can even find an app that allows you to do it.
While non-Windows tablets offer much larger screens than the four-inch profile of most mobile phones, the industry seems to be settling around Apple's 10-inch profile first set by the iPad. A 10-inch display does allow for significantly more editing space, but it's still confining if you're used to a 13-inch or larger laptop screen, and definitely can feel confining if you're used to large cinema desktop displays.
Due to screen real estate, the iPhone has a very limited window to display content, and even spreadsheet controls such as the worksheet-selection control must be relegated to a button/dialog combination instead of the familiar tab metaphor we've all used for years. To view an entire spreadsheet, you must pan around the window with your finger -- not the stuff that productivity dreams are made of.
The iPad is significantly better in that you have worksheet-selection controls that are very similar to Office, and you have a considerably larger window to work with spreadsheet content (you can actually get some sense of what the spreadsheet is about, unlike the iPhone example). However, limitations become immediately apparent, and tasks that I often use, such as sorting rows or hiding columns, are not available. Excel is confined, but I actually find that I miss the robust formatting options in Word most of all.
Outside of screen size and keyboard access, the next issue to overcome is touch. The current generation of smartphones and non-Windows tablets is all about touch and using your fingers to manipulate text and objects on-screen. Sure, it's handy, but it can also make manipulating a cursor, blocks of text, complex formatting or a table very complicated. A lot of this usability depends both on the OS itself and the applications you're editing in.
Viability of Office Alternatives On-the-Go
Screen size aside, the next hurdle you have to overcome is what you'll be editing documents in. Assuming your task is to edit Microsoft Office documents, you have quite a few choices on iOS or Android, though none are named "Microsoft Office." They do not come from Microsoft (other than a very limited OneNote app for iOS), and all come with a significant number of caveats as to what document types they can view or edit, and what they can do while editing.
There are three things to be concerned with when you're examining mobile alternatives to Microsoft Office. The first is the fidelity the application gives when viewing Office documents -- this is especially critical on phone devices where you're more likely to be viewing, not editing, documents. What do I mean by fidelity? Fidelity is the amount of formatting in a received document that you can actually see or, ideally, edit.
Second is how well the application can edit documents. Can it safely edit (or edit at all) the document types you need to make changes to from your mobile device? PowerPoint seems to be the sticking point for most of these apps to date -- many don't offer PowerPoint editing, or do but have unknown caveats.
Third, and most importantly, if you do make edits and save and share the document, how sure are you that the document has not lost any of its original formatting, revisions or comments, or that it can be opened by the original author from within Office? A sure way to lose friends in the office is to stomp all over someone's edits in an e-mailed document. As with many non-Office suites, most mobile Office platforms do not support comments or revisions -- something that can prove fatal if your mobile intentions are anything other than writing new documents, or quickly editing existing documents.
In addition to interacting with the documents, you may find small things about the application that just don't work the way you're used to. The application UI, keyboard shortcuts, document-formatting limitations (such as a lack of bullet or outlining functionality), spellchecking or document macro support may limit your ability to use or make the most of the application.
Office on Windows Phone 7 Unlike Android or iOS, Windows Phone 7 includes Office applications that are truly scaled-down versions of their desktop counterparts, and are included for free in Windows Phone 7. These applications support viewing and editing, but were limited until clipboard support was added to the Windows Phone 7 platform after its release.
Word Mobile 2010 supports many types of rich formatting and automatically re-flows documents to fit the phone.
Excel Mobile 2010 supports editing entire workbooks, including charts, and supports 114 frequently used functions. PowerPoint Mobile 2010, much like many competitors, supports viewing and simple manipulation of whole slides, but does not support editing of slide content. Windows Phone 7 also includes OneNote Mobile 2010.
Office on Android and iOS
While Apple iOS supports opening Microsoft Office documents (for example, if received as an attachment in a message), it does not support editing. Android, except in cases where specifically addressed by carriers or device manufacturers, does not support viewing or editing Office documents out-of-the-box, but there are free viewers available for download.
While several products on the market address one or more of the Microsoft Office document formats, the two predominant Office suites on Android and iOS are the same: Quickoffice (quickoffice.com) and Documents To Go (dataviz.com). The products range from $9.99 to $19.99, and are generally offered in versions for mobile phones and tablets that must be purchased separately for each device type. This entire article was written on an iPad 2 running Quickoffice Pro HD using an external Apple Bluetooth keyboard.
If you're examining using one of these office suites, I'd encourage you to read reviews and ask any friends who have used either suite before you purchase. Though $20 is much less than we all used to pay for Office suites, it's no fun to buy an application -- especially one at the higher end of the price range -- and have it not do what you want, or have it be crash-prone.
As noted earlier, there's a free OneNote application for iOS, but it's an iPhone app that hasn't been redesigned for the iPad, where it would likely prove most useful. Plus, it's very simplistic when compared to OneNote for Windows -- which, unlike Office, is not available in any form for Mac OS X.
Collaborating via SharePoint
Beyond Office, you may also be using SharePoint Online or a hosted SharePoint 2010 instance. There are quite a few applications available to connect to SharePoint to collaborate on Office documents. Moprise, Filamente and SharePlus all have iPad and iPhone applications; SharePlus also supports Android. Windows Phone 7 supports SharePoint 2010 and doesn't require a third-party app. Prices range from free to $14.99, depending on the product and features.
As with Office suites, you should evaluate reviews and test these apps before trying them in your organization. They don't always work with all SharePoint implementations -- for example, some may not support claims-based authentication if you use ADFS with SharePoint Online.
Document Security Is a No-Show
Outside of Windows Phone 7.5, no mobile OS supports rights-protected documents such as those created using Office Information Rights Management and Windows Rights Management Services. This limits the enterprise potential of mobile devices where content needs to be protected while in motion. While this isn't a showstopper for most small or midsize customers, it could be an issue for organizations seeking to keep their Office documents secure from prying eyes.
Nevertheless, though we're in the early stages of Office documents on non-Windows mobile devices and there are lots of metaphoric sharp edges, the applications are moving fast, adding new features and functionality, and becoming more powerful very quickly.
Printable Format
Everybody wants portability and long battery life but small form-factors are just not suitable for content creation - which is what PCs are all about. The first low-cost solution was the netbook. For $350, you could get long life battery (acrtually just a low-performance processer) and a ten-inch screen with 1024x768 resolution. A few netbooks gave you 1366x768 but that was too small for many people to read. Then came the iPad - a beautiful device for content consumption but with the same 1024x768 resolution and a $500 price-tag. At $500, the trade-off was clear. The customer pays for long-battery-life and exceptional portability and gets lots of access to existing content but little flexibility to create content. Or, for the same $500, the customer can buy a laptop computer with all of the flexibility (and local storage) that offers, in exchange for a heavier device with limited battery life. There is lots of room for both but the trade-offs are very real and neither device can replace the other.
As a OneNote user I'm not satisfied with MS app at all. It can be ok on iPhone, but totally useless on iPad. They do not keep formatting and halo of content is not displayed. Fortunately there are a couple of other players that have iPad apps supporting onenote. I recommend Aqrate Outline. It's a superb viewer and it is free. If you need to edit there is MobileNoter, but be sure to try it first. It doesn't work for most of users including me.
All these issues will disappear with Windows 8, a full OS running on multiple form factors (7" sweet spot you can actually take with you, I'm sure) with all of the right business software and compatibility. Gird your loins.

On Feb. 19.52 Peter estimated the nova to be magnitude 6.0:, on Feb. 20.07 magnitude 5.5:, and on Feb. 20.51 magnitude 5.0:. The precise position position (2000) of the nova was reported by B. Skiff, Lowell Observatory (IAU Circular 5454), and was precessed for epoch 1950: R.A. = 20h 29m 07s Decl. = +52o 27' 45" The following observers have visually confirmed the nova: Feb. 20.19 UT, 5.3, D. Moore, Dublin, Ireland (via Guy Hurst) 20.42, 5.0, J. Bortle, Stormville, NY 20.43, 5.0, C. Scovil, Stamford, CT 20.44, 5.3, P. Sventek, Houston, TX 20.53, 5.3, D. Levy, Tucson, AZ 20.753, 4.3, P. Schmeer, Bischmisheim, Germany The accompanying finder chart from the AAVSO Variable Star Atlas shows the position of the nova. Please use this chart to observe the nova and report your observations to AAVSO Headquarters so we may inform the astronomical community. Congratulations to Peter on his latest discovery! NOVA SAGITTARII 1992 The Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (IAU Circular 5453) reports that M. Della Valle and O. Hainaut, European Southern Observatory (ESO), and L. Wisotski, Hamburg Observatory, confirm spectroscopically the object discovered by William Liller (see AAVSO Alert Notice 154) to be a nova. Photometric observations of the nova from ESO are as follow: Feb. 15.4 UT, 8.5V C. Nitschelm, Geneva Observatory 15.4, 8.66V G. Cutispoto, Catagna Observatory 16.5, 8.93V Cutispoto 17.4, 9.12V Cutispoto R. H. McNaught, Anglo-Australian Observatory, reports the following precise position (1950) measured from an Uppsala Southern Schmidt Telescope film: R.A. = 18h 06m 28.84s Decl. = -25o 52' 33.3" He also reports that the star nearest to this position on the ESO B Survey is of magnitude 18-19, with no obvious color, and located at R.A. = 18h 06m 28.68s, Decl. = -25o 52' 32.1" (1950). McNaught further reports a magnitude estimate from P. Camilleri, Cobram, Victoria, Australia, on February 15.724 UT at 9.4. Please use the accompanying finder chart in making estimates of this nova and report your observations to AAVSO Headquarters. SUPERNOVA 1992G IN NGC 3294 The Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (IAU Circular 5452) reports the discovery of Supernova 1992G in NGC 3294 by S. Sasaki, Ibaraki, Japan, at photovisual magnitude 14 on February 9.60 UT. Y. and R. Kushida, Yatsugatake South Base Observatory, Japan, provide the following precise position (1950) from a photograph taken February 14.54: R.A. = 10h 33m 26.19s Decl. = +37deg 34' 47.4" The offsets from the galaxy nucleus are 27" east and 10.5" south. Further magnitude estimates are: Feb. 7, (13-13.5 visual, R. Kushida; Feb. 13.75, ~14 photovisual, S. Sasaki; Feb. 14.54, ~13.5 visual, Y. and R. Kushida. Congratulations to S. Sasaki on his discovery! PREDICTED ECLIPSE OF THE VERY LONG PERIOD ECLIPSING BINARY 2205+55 EE CEPHEI Edward Halbach, Estes Park, CO, has alerted us to the upcoming eclipse of the interesting eclipsing binary 2205+55 EE Cep. This star, with a period of 2049 days (5.6 years), has been in the AAVSO program and has had limited coverage. Ed has been monitoring EE Cep for several years, and he informs us that the midpoint of the next eclipse is predicted to occur on March 9, 1992. The AAVSO data indicate that the duration of the eclipse in 1986 was about 60 days. Accompanying is an AAVSO preliminary chart for EE Cep. Marvin Baldwin, Chairman of the AAVSO Eclipsing Binary Committee, recommends that observers use the 10.3, 10.9, and 11.9 comparison stars on this chart in monitoring the eclipse, which is well located for northern observers. Please send your observations to AAVSO Headquarters so they may be added to the AAVSO data files on this very interesting star. The answering machine (617-354-0484) at AAVSO Headquarters is on nights and weekends for your convenience. Many thanks for your efforts and for your valuable astronomical contributions. Good observing! Janet A. Mattei Director

Even more long line breaking.
guard agains source path mapping hitting reader errors Example: compile (defun foo () (bar)) in a file. Edit the definition to look like (defun foo () (nopackage:bar)), close the file and hit M-. foo. Prior to this an error shows in the minibuffer, and nothing else happens.
* swank-source-path-parser.lisp (make-source-recorder) (source-path-source-position): Adjust the file-position before entering it the table.
* swank-source-path-parser.lisp The source parser READs in files, and if such a file contains some nasty #. hackery that results in an error being signalled, M-. would fail on anything that's defined in those files. Fix that by using a special #. reader function that invokes the original #. reader with an IGNORE-ERRORS wrapped around. (make-sharpdot-reader): New function. (make-source-recording-readtable): Use it and install it on #. * slime.el (find-definition.2): New test case to guard against it.
* swank-source-path-parser.lisp: Multibyte characters in files could screw up compiler-notes highlighting on SBCL. Fix that. (skip-toplevel-forms): Abstracted out from READ-SOURCE-FORM. (source-path-file-position): Don't operate on the file stream directly, since CL:FILE-POSITION may not return character but binary offsets on such streams; instead slurp file content into a buffer string, and operate on that.
Fix source-path mapping for #+#.'(:and). Patch by Luis Oliveira. * swank-source-path-parser.lisp (make-source-recording-readtable): don't suppress the #. reader macro. (read-and-record-source-map): don't bind *read-eval* to nil. (suppress-sharp-dot): unused, delete it. * slime.el (test compile-defun): test with #+#.'(:and).
(suppress-sharp-dot): Return a unique symbol to avoid nil entries at toplevel in the source-map.
(make-source-recording-readtable): Suppress the #. reader-macro. (suppress-sharp-dot): New function. (read-source-form): Disable *read-eval*. (*source-map*): Deleted. We can do everything with a lexical variable.
Added public domain dedication.
(read-and-record-source-map): Ensure that at least the toplevel form is in the source-map.
(check-source-path): Signal an error if a source path is malformed. SBCL sometimes gives (NIL). (source-path-stream-position): Use it.
(make-source-recording-readtable): Ignore non-ascii chars.
(read-source-form): New function. Common code from source-path-stream-position and form-number-stream-position. (source-path-stream-position): Use it.
(source-path-stream-position): Bind *read-suppress* to nil before calling read-and-record-source-map.
(source-path-stream-position): Bind *read-suppress* only as long as we skip over forms. The last toplevel form in the path is read with *read-suppress* = nil because in newer versions of CMUCL and SBCL read will return nil if *read-suppress* is t.
Remove workarounds for SBCL bugs. The bugs are fixed in the versions we support.
Removed caching of readtables and the source-map hashtable. Fresh creation is ultra-cheap (<1ms). The caching didn't handle modifications to readtables and generally made me feel uneasy while tracking down an obscure bug in a reader macro. The cached source-map hashtable also wasn't thread-safe (ho hum).
(cmucl-style-get-macro-character): Add tests for #\space and #\\. (Suggested by Christophe Rhodes.)
(cmucl-style-get-macro-character): The feature is CMU not CMUCL.
(cmucl-style-get-macro-character): New function. Workaround for bug(?) in SBCL. (make-source-recording-readtable): Use it.
We are in-package :swank-backend. Thanks to Raymond Wiker.
Implement changed backend interface and remove references to front end symbols.
Patch by Robert E. Brown. Add type declarations to keep SBCL quiet.
it might work better if this file were actually committed

Cast Excitement for A Town Called Mercy
Asylum of the Daleks is just peering its eyestalk round the corner – but what else have we got coming up in series seven? Dinosaurs, invasion of the cubes, the Weeping Angels and, as Steven Moffat, showrunner, says:
Due to hit our screens on 15th September, A Town Called Mercy sees the Doctor return to the Wild West, a dusty landscape he hasn't seen since 1966's The Gunfighters – but this time, there's something more dangerous than the Clantons. As writer, Toby Whithouse, told BBC America:
Whithouse first worked on Doctor Who in 2006, when he ushered in the return of Sarah-Jane Smith and K9 in School Reunion, but took a considerable break from the show when developing his own series, Being Human. He broke the hiatus with 2010's Vampires of Venice, and followed it up with The God Complex last year. He's one of the last people to write for the Ponds on television, and said:
The Gunfighters was filmed in a well-decorated studio, but for Whithouse's script to be fully realised, the cast and crew went abroad. It was actually cheaper than making a set, and Matt Smith notes:
Much of the episode (and a bit of Asylum of the Daleks too!) was filmed in March in Spain, where over 100 Western movies have been filmed, including A Fistful of Dollars. Arthur Darvill – Rory Williams – says:
Remember how Canton welcomed the Silence to America in Day of the Moon? That's right: with a gun. But it's not just the Silence who need to be scared, as Karen Gillan explains:
Arthur seems to agree:
Amy's prowess with a gun was glimpsed in the series seven trailer, but we also get a brief peek at the heart of the episode, as she rhetorically asked the Doctor, "So this is what happens when you travel alone?" Karen explains:
Steven Moffat tells this week's Radio Times a little more:
It all sounds very deep and intriguing – but at least the Doctor gets a stetson again!

Foundations of Excellence
Newly Completed Projects
The Kent State University Esplanade
The Kent State University Esplanade is part of the solid partnership between Kent State University, the City of Kent, and PARTA. The partnership is built around the economic redevelopment of downtown Kent and improving the quality of life enjoyed by our students, residents, and business community.
This a vital connection between the university and the downtown projects, including PARTA's new Kent Central Gateway multimodal transit center, private developments from Acorn Alley and Fairmount Properties, and the Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center.
The University Esplanade officially ends at Haymaker Parkway. However, through a coordinated planning effort with the city of Kent, a new crosswalk and traffic signal have been installed to align with the Esplanade on the city road and allow pedestrians to cross Haymaker safely into downtown.
The university and city are already receiving recognition for this collaborative effort. In June of this year, the university and the city received the inaugural award from the International Town-Gown Association (ITGA) that honors the town-gown relationship that best represents the spirit of ITGA.
Tri-Towers Sky-Lounge
Wright Hall has a new sky-lounge situated on the 10th floor of the building. The floor has been renovated to house the 3,000 square foot lounge and gathering area. New, larger windows provide natural light into the lounge. In coming years, sky-lounges will be added to Koonce and Leebrick halls.

I just attempted to register for the intel apps program for windows 7. I downloaded it successfully. Went through the entire registration process. Entered my financial data, and then when I clicked to proceed to what I believe would be the final screen, I got an error message saying something about could not transmit to recipitent. I backed up screens and repeated the process with the same error occuring again. I closed it out, and tried to log in as already having an account, but I get the oops screen. I try to log in as a new user, but my email is in the system and it tells me my user name is already in use. Well, it would be, as it is me. (My email address). I uninstalled and reinstalled and tried it all again, same problem though. My email is already in the system. I assume all my other info (address, financials) is also so just giving another email address, which I DON'T want to do is probably not going to solve the issue. I sent an email to the intel support desk and have not received a response. Any idea on what to do? Also, I cannot even look in the stores to see the apps b/c the program says I am not connected to the internet, but I AM connected to the internet so I am not sure what that is about. I was excited about this program but boy right now I sure can tell it is the beta version. Any assistance or replies would be much appreciated! -- Danielle

I sent an email to that link and I received an auto reply back from that link around 5 pm or so yesterday. I have since deleted the auto reply that I received back but I did receive one. I followed the link from the help screen contained within the app up beta program. The error message I receive when I log in with my email address and my password that I created the first time I clicked to create a new account and when through the registration process up through entering a credit card is: error - oops! something weird happened and we couldn't complete your request. please try agin. if you continue to get this error, please contact support. When I try to create a new account at this screen since it won't let me log in with the email and password i created the first time, the system will not let me use my email address and says it is already taken. I was able to go through the task manager and end the process servicemanager.exe. I originally installed the program on the d:/ of my computer which is a sdhc card for additional storage. I have searched using the search function the entire computer, as well as the c and d drives. I do not find a file with your instructions Program data ... ect. I do find the folder for the apps up program and I looked in each folder within that folder and still do not find that file. I just uninstalled and reinstalled the program last night so surely it is the updated version. I did try to log in again with my email and password and got the exact same result.
Could you please run the system report from this site: http://www.intel.com/support/siu.htm and post your results to the forum? Just click the save icon in the upper right corner and it will give you something to cut and paste here. This will help us to understand your system configuration better and help to find the cause of your issue. Thanks!
We have duplicated your issue with registration and have verified that your account was created succesfully (even though you received an error). I was able to login using the account information you provided to support on a Windows 7 netbook. You will not need to create a new account. If you are still getting the Oops error, please run the system report I suggested in my previous message and we can continue to troubleshoot the issue with the client install. Thanks for your patience during our Beta cycle
I tried to log in again with the same error message received. I ran your test following the link. The first 2 times the test would not run and it said the system would not respond. The third time it gave me results however I cannot figure out how to cut and paste them to this forum. Of note, this is the most difficult forum I have tried to post question to. The choices you all have here are not user friendly and normal. I cannot even do a normal cut and paste here. Is there a way I could email the file which is .htm extension.
Thanks for the feedback. You can email your .htm file to email@example.com and we will continue working to resolve the issue you are seeing with the client software. Please reference your original issue so the team can connect the dots. Thanks!

Episode #932
Made in China
Entire program originally aired: November 16, 2007
Friday, August 08, 2008
China's global spotlight didn't start with the Olympics; its openness to cultural expression has been making waves worldwide. Hear about China's strategy for remaking its public image in time for the Games. Meet a musician who sings of the woes of 100 million migrant workers who have left rural homes for China's booming cities. And Kurt Andersen talks with Taiwanese filmmaker Ang Lee, who negotiates the divide between Shanghai and Hollywood.
Branding Songzhuang
Some years back, a group of artists were hounded out of Beijing by authorities. Some went to Songzhuang village, a farming town an hour away. Now, that village is a boomtown –- based on the market for contemporary Chinese art. Communist officials drink beer with bohemians. Will the ...
Soft Power
China's government has a strategy of using "soft power" to improve the country's image –- promoting the arts, building language schools abroad, and, of course, remaking Beijing itself for the Olympics. But it's a strategy with some pitfalls. Kurt talks with Orville Schell, a journalist and scholar ...
Overseas Chinese
A generation of Chinese artists left the country in the 1980s and 90s. Some found great success in the west, but China still looms large in their minds. Lu Olkowski talks with artists about why calligraphy and ink drawing seem so 21st century.
Poetry from the People
A few weeks ago, after featuring actor Bill Murray's passion for poetry, we asked you to send us your favorite poems. Kurt calls up a few listeners -– including a surprise celebrity listener -- to tell us theirs.
Migrant Workers Lovesong
100 million Chinese have left rural homes to work in the booming cities of northern China. Their lives are hard, dangerous, and lonely. Songwriter Chen Xing wants to soothe their troubled minds. Produced by Gideon D'Arcangelo.
Bonus Track: "Drifter's Song"
"Drifter's Song" from Chen Xing's album New Ballads for Migrant Workers. (Guangdong Provincial Record Co. Ltd.)
Ang Lee
The director's latest film, Lust, Caution, is set in World War II Shanghai, occupied by Japan. As if a Chinese movie by a Taiwanese director wasn't edgy enough, the film is so erotic it made Ang Lee himself intensely uncomfortable. Kurt talks with Lee and ...

Chuck E. Cheese has unveiled its newly re-designed website, chuckecheese.com, with its "Promise to Parents" mission front and center.
The "Promise to Parents" initiative assures a clean and open game room environment; fresh food; safety; and fun for guests of all ages. These components are laid out clearly throughout the new website.
The new site also includes interactive content, such as online versions of in-store games.
"Chuck E. Cheese's created the website to make it easier for families to pre-plan all the aspects of their Chuck E. Cheese's trip from home," said Randy Forsythe, executive vice president, director of operations at CEC Entertainment Concepts L.P. "Now, guests can effortlessly book a party, learn about our menu, play games and have fun building anticipation for a visit to Chuck E. Cheese's."
Chuck E. Cheese's used a bright and playful layout along with interactive content that promotes dialogue and sharing among users. Special features include:
- A video message from the founder, Chuck E. Cheese about the company's core values, social media content, printable reward calendars and online games that award vouchers redeemable for free tickets.
- Four tabs at the top of the home page, "Plan," "Play," "Share" and "Discover," which allow website visitors to plan their next party or visit, play online versions of in-store games and win up to 40 free tickets, share feedback with the company and discover the latest coupons and value packages.
- Guests can also take a virtual adventure with Chuck E. on the home page and win 30 free tickets redeemable in stores.
"We are excited about having a website that serves as a platform to engage our guests while still providing useful information about our stores," Forsythe said. "Operationally, the website functions in a much more fun and useful manner."
The new website is part of Chuck E. Cheese's marketing shift toward parents, an initiative first announced in the beginning of 2012 and aided with the hiring of Scott McDaniel as chief marketing officer, and The Richards Group as the brand's new agency.
During the company's Q2 earnings call, CEO Michael Magusiak said the redesigned website will not only include a more parent-centric layout, but will also include enhanced tools that allow the brand to better track visitors.
"We believe our greatest opportunity to generate increased guest traffic and comparable store sales is through our new comprehensive marketing and advertising strategy," Magusiak said.

Hundreds of minor league goalies can spend their entire career in a tireless fight for the elusive opportunity to become the next diamond in the rough. Then there are others that finally reach their penultimate goal of starting an NHL game, but like a dream, it lasts just one night and dissolves in a rude awakening when they are quickly demoted back to a place they really don't want to be.
But every year there are a few call-ups that become the called-upon, and turn themselves into the main source of their team's sudden surge. So for all of the struggles that Ty Conklin has faced over the last five seasons, his sudden resurfacing with the Penguins since Marc-Andre Fleury's injury is a tremendous story in goaltending retribution.
It all started exactly one month ago when the Penguins summoned Conklin from Wilkes-Barre Scranton on emergency recall. At the time, many of the coaches and staff within the organization (and those pseudo-analysts like me) believed that he would only serve as Dany Sabourin's backup, nothing more, and would return to the baby Pens the moment Fleury was off the IR. In fact, the spotlight was mainly on Sabourin, as it was his chance to take advantage of the experience he gained playing behind Roberto Luongo in Vancouver last season. For the time being, it looked to be his team and nobody else's.
But we all know that many have tried and many have failed. Turns out, it was just not in the stars for Dany, so Conklin, the persistent Alaskan native, was given another chance to display some poise and consistency for a young team desperately in need of veteran goaltending. Rumors were already flying around that the Penguins were actively seeking a goalie to serve as a fill-in. But like many organizations, there's always an "evaluation" period of time in which they allow the goaltender to show what he's made of. This saves money and can salvage a general manager from making a capricious decision.
While it's tough to call Conklin a veteran since he's only played in 84 NHL games, the experiences he's faced since his first call-up with the Edmonton Oilers in the 2001-02 season certainly warrants it. He was tossed around like a rag doll the past two seasons, being waived by the Oilers in February 2006, then waived by the Columbus Blue Jackets and sent back down to the AHL just before the 2006-07 season started. Then he was traded to Buffalo in February 2007 at the trade deadline, left unprotected by the Sabres and then signed as a free agent by Pittsburgh at the start of this season.
So Conklin has legitimately turned into the feel-good story of the season, winning seven straight games, including two by shutout, one against Buffalo – his former team – and the second against Florida on Friday. If Ty continues playing this way, which certainly seems like that's the path he's heading down, management will face some difficult decisions when Fleury returns. But there are many reasons why Conklin has solidified his spot on the roster, despite the fact that he's only an "emergency recall."
First of all, keeping three goalies in the lineup not only ties up a roster spot, but the trio situation causes way more problems than it solves. The best and most recent example of this was with the Coyotes, as both David Aebischer and Alex Auld are no longer members of the team. Secondly, keeping him on the roster for the rest of the season allows the Penguins to send the mediocre Sabourin down to Wilkes-Barre, which would entail him going through waivers. This wouldn't be much of a problem, since he hasn't shown more than a few flashes of starter-like play.
On the other hand, returning Conklin to Wilkes-Barre before or at the same time Fleury is activated would not require him to be put on waivers. Although the Penguins would have a better goaltender in the minors, it's a safe move and allows him to continue logging minutes instead of just sitting on the bench. Fleury is well-known for inconsistent play, so it also makes a lot more sense to keep Conklin in the lineup and put a little pressure on Fleury to perform up to starter standards. Assigning Conklin to Wilkes-Barre sometime after Fleury returns is certainly out of the question, since Conklin would have to go on waivers.
The Penguins are allowed to keep Conklin on the roster when Fleury returns even though he didn't clear waivers on the way up, which is the main benefit of an emergency recall, because he is exempt from the re-entry waivers that apply to most veteran players promoted from the American Hockey League. Conklin qualified for that exemption because his two-way contract has a salary of $100,000, which is the maximum salary a player can be eligible for the re-entry exemption.
Conklin's unbelievable play in December and early-January should warrant plenty of attention from fantasy hockey managers. as he will fly under the radar in many leagues. It may only be a short-term solution to a long-term problem for many, but considering Fleury's IR status, Conklin is a steal. He has certainly silenced all critics – including myself – that said he couldn't show any consistency as the starter for an NHL team. Sign him as quickly as you can and don't think twice, for he's tried, tested and true.

Convicted Murderer on Parole Despite Victim's Family's Pleas
DOWNTOWN COLUMBUS (Jen French/Kate Liebers) -- After spending more than two decades in prison, a man convicted of murder is to be released on parole.
Randall OBrien, 41, said he is a changed man since the 1990 murder of Kevin Boyer.
Police the crime began when the 18-year-old O'Brien and a 19-year-old Kevin Boyer got into a fight over a gun. Police said Boyer was trying to ride away on his bike when OBrien opened fire, shooting and killing Boyer.
Thursday, Boyers mother and his daughter told the parole board that they didnt want the convicted killer released.
"That's all that I hope for. And that the person who killed my son won't harm anybody else, said the victim's mother, Sharon Boyer.
"Anybody would fear a person that would shoot a person four times in his back," she said. "(He) has been in and out of a juvenile institution for so many years. I don't know where his mind is."
The victim's daughter, who was two months old when her father died, said O'Brien's now has a freedom to live a life her loved one never got.
"He's still able to live a decent life," Kiara Boyer said. "Two to three years from now, he'll be able to have children -- possibly a girl. He'll get to experience all of the things my father and I never got to experience."
O'Brien has been eligible for parole before. This is the first time it was granted.

text: First, this is not the same as the regular (and very pleasant) Beaune Premier Cru that Louis Jadot offers in many vintages. It is a unique selection of Jadot's best Beaune climats, vinified to Grand Cru standards, including an extra 6 months of aging in mostly new oak. (Note the names of all the vineyards amidst Bacchus's curly locks.) The wine clearly shows the greatness not only of Jadot's winemaking, but of the 2009 vintage, which has an uncanny combination of delectably forward, seamless Pinot Noir fruit allied to a formidable structure for long aging. The wine opens with a stunning bouquet of fresh bing cherries, suffused with gentle notes of vanilla from aging in new oak barrels. On the palate, the bold, pure, indelibly seamless Pinot Noir fruit is framed by a wonderful backbone of abundant, silky tannins. Crisp acidity keeps the finish reassuringly dry, with just the right amount of tautness over the deep red fruit to make you desperate for the next sip. They say this wine can last 30 years and I don't doubt it, but I'm going to have a hard time keeping my hands off it from the day it arrives.-- Ben Giliberti, CW Director of Wine Education

The internal device you describe is the balancing spool. It was stuck which can stop all water flow. Sounds like you freed that up.
Does the valve body have screwdriver stops on the hot and cold sides? Maybe these are not full open.
A few years back, I roughed in the plumbing for a walk in shower. I am finally getting around to finishing this much overdue job.
I finished the last bit of plumbing from the valve up to the shower head and turned it on.
It trickled water.
So I pulled the cartridge out (glacier bay HD model 769-192) behind the cartridge, or maybe it is considered part of the cartridge, is a white plastic thing that the water passes through. I took it apart. Inside it is a steel cylinder inside a cylinder. The inner one was stuck, likely from sitting there for years with hard water in it. I suspect the purpose of this device is to get the water to mix a bit so you don't get straight hot water. Anyhow, I cleaned it all up, reassembled it. Now it rattles a bit when I shake it, telling me that it is moving freely.
Put it all back together and turn it on. I now have decent enough flow, but when I go to full hot, it is luke warm. I did adjust the set screw on the outside for max hot. It appears to me that the scald guard gizmo is working a bit too well.
Am I missing something here?
I bought this thing off the clearance rack for next to nothing, so it's not like I'm into it for a lot of $$$, so, I am tempted to just yank it out and spend a few bucks on a quality brand valve from the local supply guys or maybe the web.
Any help or recommendations on a good quality replacement would be appreciated. I don't need fancy, just functional and long lasting. The wall will be tile over kerdi, so I really don't want to have to open it back up in 5 years.
The internal device you describe is the balancing spool. It was stuck which can stop all water flow. Sounds like you freed that up.
Does the valve body have screwdriver stops on the hot and cold sides? Maybe these are not full open.
Jimbo, they are both open fully.
Looking at the inside of the cartridge, there is the chrome disc with the slots that let the water past. The disc looks good. The spring loaded rubber O-rings look good. In the full on position, the cold water O-ring looks as though it should be blocked, So the only explanation I can come up with is that the water is mixing at the balancing spool.
The is one other thing. With the temp limit screw set to allow maximum range of the valve (hottest setting) if I turn it to full on the flow slows considerably. I assume this means the disc is going past the hot opening slot.
Would partially closing the cold water screw (the one adjusted by slotted screw driver) help?
Could it be a pressure issue. I am on a well with a jet pump in the basement and this is the second floor, so, the pressure is a bit less than it would be on the first floor?
Last edited by pete c; 02-23-2013 at 09:23 AM.
after thinking about it a bit, I tried backing down the hot limit adjust so that the pressure did not drop off when full on. I now have nice hot water, so I think I'm all set.
The "thing" does NOT mix the hot and cold waters.

I don't know if anyone here has much experience with GB shower diverters (I don't), but with all your work on a Kerdi/tile install, etc, I don't think I'd go cheap on the faucet. Even if it doesn't leak, it probably won't hold up in the finish, etc, and will make your nice new shower look cheap after a few years when the chrome (or whatever) is chipping, etc.
Just my 2 cents...
Yes, it probably does make sense to install a good quality valve now. Any recommendations?
I like Grohe, but Delta's R10000 rough-in valve gives you lots of options since it will take any of their three different types of valves: pressure balance, pressure balance with volume control, or thermostatic. It depends on the type of cartridge and trim package you choose, but you can do that later.

quote; It depends on the type of cartridge and trim package you choose, but you can do that later.
The Delta body with the 1700 trim is the only one I "recommend", but if you "do it later" make sure you install the "bypass plug" in the valve body to prevent hot/cold crossover.

The U.S. House of Representatives used a procedural move to pressure conference committee members in both chambers to adopt an unrelated and dangerous rider on coal ash in the transportation bill that is set to expire at the end of this month. The following statement is from Earthjustice attorney Lisa Evans:
"The House is back at it again, willingly ignoring the deadly poisons that are contaminating water supplies from coal ash dumps and putting legislation designed to provide millions of American jobs at risk. Today's symbolic vote has no real impact, but sends a clear message to millions of Americans who are exposed to coal ash pollution: 260 Representatives who voted for this nonsense don't care about your health. Members of both parties are responsible for this abomination, and it's time the EPA moves forward with federally enforceable safeguards that will protect public health. If we leave it up to our elected officials, the nearly 200 cases of water contaminated by coal ash will only get worse, more sites will become contaminated, and impacted communities will continue to bear the burden of this poisonous legacy. We don't need another disaster like the one in Kingston, TN.
"This unrelated amendment is not only ensuring that coal ash continues to poison our communities, it poisons a much-needed transportation bill and puts at risk the 2.9 million jobs that this legislation will provide."

Women's Basketball Begins Road Swing with Pair of Games
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The University of North Georgia women's basketball team closed out a four-game home stand with a 2-2 record heading into this week's pair of road games. There are just two teams on the Saints' schedule that they have not faced and they will scratch one of those off this week before rekindling an older rivalry.
First up will be a trip to Columbus, Ga. where the Saints will look to take on Columbus State University in what could shape up to be one of the most important Peach Belt Conference West Division matchups. The Cougars currently occupy the fourth slot in the West standings, just ahead of North Georgia. The top-four teams from each division will advance to the 2013 PBC Basketball tournament.
Following Thursday's 5:30 p.m. game, the Saints will travel to Montevallo, Ala. for a rematch against the University of Montevallo at 2:30 p.m. Eastern standard time on Saturday, Feb. 2.
Jaymee Carnes leads the team with a double-double of 18.4 points and 10.8 rebounds per game and a shooting percentage of 42.2% from the field. With her 17 points against No. 3 Clayton State University on Saturday, Carnes is now just 17 points shy of reaching the 1,000 career points mark as she scored 46 points her freshman year at Wake Forest University and has scored 937 in her career at North Georgia.
Sophomore guard Stephanie Huffman averages 11.7 points per game while shooting 39.1% from the field. She is just 40 points shy of reaching 500 career points.
The duo leads a Saints team that shoots 39.1% from the field while averaging just over 60 points per game.
Columbus State (10-8, 6-5 PBC) holds a slight 8-5 advantage in the series between the two programs after the two split last year's meetings, winning on each other's home courts. The Cougars enter Thursday's matchup having won their last two games, and three of their last five.
As a team, the Cougars are averaging 69 points per contest and shooting 40.4% as a team behind Taren White's 12.5 points per game. White is a 44.9% shooter from the field and has started eight games this season, but has not started since a January 5 game against the University of South Carolina Aiken.
Behind white, Asha Alexander and Chatil Bradfor average just over 10.0 points per game. Alexander, the only player to have started all 18 games for Columbus State, leads the team under the basket with 7.6 rebounds per game while connecting on 47% of her shot.
The last time Montevallo (12-8, 7-4 PBC) and North Georgia faced off, the Falcons escaped Memorial Hall Gymnasium with a 60-58 win on January 10. Since then, Montevallo has gone 3-3 and are 6-3 at home for the season.
As a team, the Falcons are averaging 67 points per game while shooting 40.6% from the field. Other than Taylor Beverly's 17.5 points per game, the Falcons are an extremely well-balanced team with Trena Moore-Smith and Alexsis Brown each averaging just over 9.0 points per game while Shay Bonner and Zena Nasiloski each average close to 8.5 points per game.
In the January 5 game against North Georgia, four Montevallo starters finished in double figures led by Moore-Smith and Shay Bonner's 15 points. For North Georgia, Huffman led all scorers with 17 points off a 7-13 performance while Carnes added 14 points and 13 rebounds.
