British basketballer creates NBA history

DETROIT PISTIONS and Team GB basketballer Ben Gordon equalled an NBA record in this morning’s (March 22) 116-115 loss to Denver Nuggets.

Guard Gordon, who also matched his personal best of 45 points in a match, equalled Latrell Sprewell’s achievement of scoring all nine of their three-point attempts.

Born in London but raised in New York, Gordon, 28, and Sprewell are the only two players to achieve this feat in NBA history.

“The guy was freakin' off the charts,” said Pistons coach Lawrence Frank.

“Not only did he make shots, he made plays. You can't say enough positive adjectives about the job he did. He was phenomenal."

Gordon's 45 point haul was a season high and the most he has scored since joining the Pistons in 2009.

He also added eight assists, but it was not enough for the victory.

MagiQuest Brings Video Game Excitement to Reality in Pigeon Forge
By Bennie McCann © 2009, All Rights Reserved

For years people of all ages have been captivated by the tales of a wizard boy battling an evil villain.  By letting their imaginations run wild, these readers have visualized what it might be like to live in a world of wands and wizardry.  Now you can experience it in real life.  Children and adults of all ages will be amazed as they begin a journey they’ll remember forever.  You see, MagiQuest is a world like no other.

Pigeon Forge is the newest location for MagiQuest.  When you arrive, the first order of business is to purchase a wand.  This is an important step because you custom-design the wand of your dreams.  Once your design is complete, the wand will keep track of everything you do and everywhere you go throughout MagiQuest.

This unique tool unlocks over 150 special effects and is yours to keep.   Always put it in a safe place because it will work at any of the 12 MagiQuest sites in the United States.  Leave one location and the next time you return your wand will allow you to pick up where your adventure stopped, no matter which location you visit.

MagiQuest also allows each player, known as magi, to create their own characters and adventures.  Want to slay a dragon or save a captive princess?  Dare to encounter creatures from other worlds?  With MagiQuest those things are possible and more.

Imagine a video game designed by you that becomes reality.  That’s what MagiQuest is like.  Unlock ancient secrets and you’ll gain powers that allow you to travel farther than any man and discover mystic treasures unlike any others.  Along the way you might run into characters such as Princess Candice, the Quest Master or Winterra the Ice Dragon.  Get ready.  Once you walk through the castle doors your journey begins immediately.

As a magi, you can tackle adventures on your own or play with a team.  You play at your own pace, giving you the opportunity to contemplate each move carefully or test your reflexes as you travel through in a whirlwind.  However, you must be able to solve the puzzles and riddles presented in order to advance to the next challenge.

Every player is given a booklet with clues to help solve the riddles.  Adults can get wisdom from ancient books that also provide clues to the magi.  Are you brave enough to travel alone?  Go ahead… the choice is yours.

MagiQuest is a unique way of providing fun for any group.  It’s much like a scavenger hunt with unbelievable special effects.  Looking for a unique way to celebrate a birthday?  Trying to find something new to do during the summer?  With the affordable admission price, MagiQuest is a great choice for many different occasions.

Another incredible feature is that new quests are added each year, so players will always find adventure and excitement as they explore the enchanting world of MagiQuest.  Retail shops are available at each location offering a variety of souvenirs to remind you of your mystical journey.

The majority of kids sit and play video games for hours on end.  A large number of adults do as well.  MagiQuest gives everyone the opportunity to get up and move while having fun as they become the main characters in a life-like exploration.  Let the fantasy begin!

Three teenagers were charged with arson after allegedly starting a fire that destroyed track equipment and damaged bleachers at Hesperia High School last month.

According to the San Bernardino County Fire Department, the three juveniles assembled paper at the base of bleachers near the school's track and set the paper on fire. One juvenile allegedly then lit a bandana on fire and the group threw it back and forth until it landed in a hole in the pole-vaulting pad, setting it on fire as well. When they were unable to put the pole-vaulting pad fire out, the trio allegedly fled the scene.

The fire department was notified of the fire shortly before 8 p.m. and had the fire under control soon after, but the blaze had destroyed hurdles, the pole-vaulting pad and caused smoke and heat damage to the bleachers at the north end of Hesperia High School's athletic field. Total damages are estimated at $100,000.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department subsequently identified the minors and cited their parents and guardians on charges of arson.

Each year more than 30 billion animals in the United States are raised for human or animal consumption. With advancements in technology, science and education you would think these animals are raised humanely, without pain, needless suffering or distress even when not legislated. So why then, has a proposition appeared on this year's ballot that prohibits the confinement of farm animals so that it does not allow them to turn around freely, lie down, stand up, or fully extend their limbs?

Unfortunately, since 1906, when Upton Sinclair's published "The Jungle," little has changed to lessen farm animal suffering. One change is that the farming industry is now "more efficient."Although long overdue, Proposition 2, even if passed will not become effective until January 1, 2015.

During that time more than 63 billion chickens, the most intensively confined of all farmed animals, will never feel the sun on their backs or breathe fresh air. Every year over 9 billion chickens are crammed into cages, stacked on top of each other so that the excrement from chickens in the higher cages constantly falls on those chickens below. To combat the frustration created by the unnatural confinement the industry routinely cuts part the bird's beaks off so that they won't peck each other to death? This results in a high mortality rate simply because the pain endured is comparable to having your fingers chopped off.

In one year alone, hundreds of thousands of veal calves will be chained by the neck in crates that are so small they will be unable to turn around, lie down comfortably or groom themselves. John Robbins eloquently stated, "the veal calf would actually have more space if, instead of chaining him in such a stall, you stuffed him into the trunk of a subcompact car and kept him there for his entire life." There must be something fundamentality wrong with our society when legislation has to be created to outline the most basic freedoms for creatures that we have been entrusted to care for. Please vote yes on Proposition 2.

Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 2 (ADNI-2)

Short Study Name (acronym): ADNI-2

Long Name: Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 2

Investigators (list PI first): Kaycee Sink, MD

Funding Agency: ADCS through NIA

Funding Dates:  09/30/2010 – 08/31/2017

Research questions or aims: The study aims are focused on predictors, outcomes and clinical trial design, but fulfillment of these aims will add considerably to what is known about the basic neuroscience of AD in terms of progression and underlying mechanisms. Determine and define those biomarkers which best predict future cognitive decline and conversion to MCI/dementia at the various stages of the progression from normal cognition to dementia. Determine and define those biomarkers that best serve as outcome measures to quantify the rate of progress at the various stages from controls to dementia.  Improve clinical trials by developing various clinical trial protocol scenarios, which use clinical, cognitive, and biomarker measures as selection criteria, as covariates, and as outcome measures, with maximum statistical power to detect treatment effects. Such scenarios would be developed for subjects with dementia, with MCI, with mild symptomatology, subjects with significant memory concern but whose neuropsychological test performance is within the normal range, and normal healthy controls. As clinical trials are moving toward less or asymptomatic individuals, a new cohort, subjects with significant memory concerns have been included to address this shift.  Perform pathological examination on brains obtained by autopsy to validate the antemortum diagnoses.

Target population: Male and female age 55 - 90 years who meet the study criteria for early mild cognitive impairment and have a reliable study partner.

 Target # to enroll: 650 across the US and Canada

Carters celebrate 60 years -, South Georgia News, Weather, Sports

Carters celebrate 60 years

July 7, 2006

Plains-- Sixty years ago today, wedding bells rang for the man who would become our 39th President. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter celebrated that milestone anniversary in their hometown.

They knew each other all of their lives. Jimmy Carter was an active duty member of the Navy, Rosalyn Smith was a recent high school graduate when they made their love official in 1946.

"He's just an ordinary person like you and me. I tell people just because he's a Sunday school teacher, doesn't mean he's gold plated. He's a human being, nice fella," says 91-year-old Fannie Wiggins. Wiggins is a volunteer at the old school the Carter's attended that's now a museum. She's ten years older than President Carter, and she knows the couple well.

It was at the Plains United Methodist Church where a 21-year-old soon to be U.S. President married his bride, Rosalyn Smith.

Rosalyn recalls her newlywed memories as they began their new lives together in Virginia. He was constantly away in the service. She says "I learned to deal with the landlord, the plumber, and the electrician." And admits she wasn't the best cook, saying she could dish up some "breakfast, chocolate fudge, and brownies."

Robert and Winnie Kocot visited Carter's hometown on his anniversary. "We've been married 44 years so were looking for 60. Maybe one day we'll catch up. We were just remarking how cute he looked. They were so attractive when they were young. Look at their wedding pictures. It's really very nice."

Fannie Wiggins feels others should learn from the Carter's commitment in companionship. "When you marry, you're supposed to stay for a lifetime. Very few people do that now. They did it. They're still doing it. They will be together I'm very sure."

Rosalyn Carter grew up visiting her future husband's home. She was friends with President Carter's younger sister, Ruth.

Since they were three years apart, Jimmy and Rosalyn never paid much attention to each other until Ruth set them up on a double date.

South Coast League down to four teams -, South Georgia News, Weather, Sports

South Coast League down to four teams

February 24, 2008

Albany -- The South Georgia Peanuts will see even less competition in the South Coast League this season, as the SCL has announced it will contract from six to four teams in 2008.

The Peanuts will be joined by holdovers Macon, Aiken, and Anderson.

Charlotte County's stadium is being renovated for the Tampa Bay Rays spring training, and will not be ready in time for the start of the season.

An expansion team in Jackson, Mississippi was set to replace the Bradenton Juice, but their entry into the league has been postponed until next year.

The South Coast League announced in a press release Sunday it plans to expand to eight teams in 2009.

The SCL playoffs will have a different look this year.

Last season, the first-half champs battled the second-half winners in a three-game series.

This year, everybody is in.

There will be a four-team double-elimination tournament, with seeding determined by regular season record.

All the tournament games will be played in Macon.

The Music and Peanuts will also be involved in an interesting double header June 14th, splitting a day-night match-up between the two cities.

It's an 84-game schedule this year, meaning each team will play the others 28 times, and begins May 15th with South Georgia at Macon.

The Peanuts will hold a tryout April 12th at Paul Eames Park.

Lee Co. busts another suspected pot dealer

Praythia Miller Praythia Miller

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email

August 14, 2008

LEESBURG, GA (WALB) - Money seized from a previous drug bust helped catch another suspected drug dealer.

Investigators seized a home on St. Clair Drive in the Springdale Subdivision Wednesday. Investigators found eight pounds of marijuana, scales, and more than $9,500 in cash.

Stannis Collins and Praythia Miller are both charged with possession with intent to deliver and possession of a firearm during a felony.

Items and cash seized in the December bust of Bobby Lee Williams, helped pay for the equipment used in this bust.

"The money that we received from the D.A. forfeiture fund that comes from when we sell off the equipment and stuff we get from the drug user or the drug dealer it helps us. I mean we can't pay salaries with it but we can use it to buy equipment that we can fight drugs with," said Major David Carmichael, Lee County Sheriff's Office.

Police also seized three vehicles from the residence. Both Collins and Miller could face federal charges in the case.

Brace yourself for a blizzard -, South Georgia News, Weather, Sports

Brace yourself for a blizzard

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email

ALBANY, GA (WALB) -  Get ready for some possibly severe winter weather at the end of the weekend, with a chance of freezing rain in South Georgia. The system will almost certainly dump snow in north Georgia late this weekend.

We could even see some icy roads and power lines in our area. Public works and power company crews are preparing for the possibility.

If you've ever hit the road, and hit a patch of ice, you know how bad it can be. "Your vehicle is hard to control on ice, especially black ice, 'cause you can't see it," said Alberdine Williams of Albany Public Works.

But Albany Public Works crews will be on the lookout. "We've got our spreader trucks ready to go, we've got our crews on call," said George Haggerty, of Albany Public Works.

They have a great big pile of sand to spread over ice patches, just in case.

"To protect someone from having an accident. The roads get really slippery when it rains sometimes, and especially with ice."

If anything will freeze during the storm, it will most likely be bridges. That's because the cold air hits them from all sides and these are the areas that crews will check first to see if they need any sand.

And Alberdine Williams is getting the sand ready to go if he needs to put it out on the roads. "Don't want to take no chances!"

Always prepared for winter weather and whatever it might bring our way.

Power companies say around here, they're not doing anything special to get prepared for the possibility of ice, but if it happens, they're prepared to take action.

Albany Public Works crews will be on standby throughout the weekend. If you see a patch of ice on a road, you can report it by calling the city/county help line at 311.

Maggie Gyllenhaal took a bold step to star in a film about an S&M relationship. Rob Driscoll asked her why she did

SOME actresses go for cute and cosy. Maggie Gyllenhaal clearly prefers to go for cool. Already this year she's appeared in two of the grooviest, must-see, non-definable movies from Hollywood's left-field - the Oscar-winning Adaptation, and George Clooney's quirky directorial debut Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

But now, in her first truly starring role, the fast-rising, 25-year-old Californian takes a bolder than average step with the Sundance Festival hit Secretary - a dark satirical comedy that might hover dangerously near the borderline of taste and acceptability for the more strait-laced segments of the multiplex moral majority.

Gyllenhaal - sister to the similarly hot-to-trot Donnie Darko and The Good Girl actor Jake - stars as a repressed suburban girl not long released from a mental institution, following her worrying penchant for self-mutilation.

Although she's never had a job in her life, she's hired by a mysterious lawyer (James Spader of sex, lies and videotape fame) as his office secretary.

Spader clearly has his own hang-ups, which he takes out by spanking his new employee - something she finds she actually enjoys.

As their curious S&M-based relationship progresses, the film manages to avoid any pitfalls of pandering towards pornography, and instead offers a surprising tender exploration of an unlikely romance.

And the overall winner is Maggie Gyllenhaal, giving a charming and sympathetic performance as an oddball loner - and proving that she is the type of actress willing to take on provocative roles that bigger names dare not even consider.

"Of course I was apprehensive when I first read the script of Secretary," says Gyllenhaal.

"But my main worries were less about the sexuality of the piece, and more about the possibilities of the screenplay emerging as anti-feminist or reactionary.

"In the wrong hands, this film could easily wander down that path, but once I met Steven Shainberg , the director, I realised I could trust him implicitly."

But weren't there some scenes later in the movie, which depict more graphic examples of Spader's domination in the workplace, about which she had reservations?

"I wouldn't have made the movie if I'd ever thought like that," says Gyllenhaal.

"I knew playing the part would demand so much of me, but as a team we were all perfectly clear what we were saying.

"My character may risk not being in control, but ultimately she is the controlling one of the relationship, and I find that quite fascinating.

"Their relationship is a metaphor for other things. And while I wouldn't profess to fully understand their relationship, I can sympathise with their need to express it.

"The movie says a lot about tolerance, rules, society and bigotry."

Secretary is certain to divide audiences and promote healthy debate between both sexes about the boundaries of behaviour within relationships, and for Gyllenhaal that is the film's reward.

The film has without a doubt elevated her to cult status, and since then she has made her first big "mainstream" Hollywood movie, Mona Lisa Smile, with no less than Julia Roberts.

Growing up as young sister and brother, Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal were always play-acting and day-dreaming.

But their incredibly successful emergence as actors has not been simultaneous.

Jake made his debut in the family film while he was in high school, and then went back to further education.

Maggie made her debut 10 years ago in the British film Waterland, with Jeremy Irons.

"Of course Jake and I have always had that healthy bit of competition," smiles Gyllenhaal.

"That's not a bad thing. I'm a little bit older than him, and when he started out making a name for him a couple of years back, I said to him, 'This isn't fair. I thought you were going to college.'

"Then he got me a part in Donnie Darko, as his sister, so I guess we were quits then. I still had to audition for that role."

In the 1950s-set Mona Lisa Smile, directed by Britain's Mike Newell, Gyllenhaal plays one of four women graduates whose heads are turned by the arrival of Julia Roberts's forward-looking feminist.

"The shiny, Hollywood version of the story is that this women comes into their Eisenhower-era world and makes them realise they have a choice in their lives; to get married at 22, or go out and explore the world as independent people," says Gyllenhaal.

"I play the wild girl of the group. It's glossy, but with an edge."

And still the parts keep coming. Most recently, Gyllenhaal has completed John Sayles's independent drama Casa De Los Babys, about six women who travel to South America to adopt babies.

"That was so real, so not Hollywood," she enthuses.

Clearly, this girl's head isn't going to be turned by the shallow attractions of Tinseltown.

Secretary opens next Friday at the Chapter Cinema, Cardiff.

Sir Denis Thatcher, who was Margaret Thatcher's loyal, devoted and protective consort throughout her premiership and beyond, died peacefully in hospital today with his family at his bedside. He was 88.

Tributes, from political friends and foes alike, poured in from around the world, for the man without whose selfless support Baroness Thatcher - by her own admission - would never have reached the pinnacle of her political career.

Sir Denis, who was a shrewd businessman and a millionaire in his own right before his wife even dreamed of becoming Prime Minister, was content to take a back seat once she reached Downing Street.

But wherever she travelled on official business, to the farthest corners of the earth, Sir Denis was always just two paces behind, ever watchful for potential troublemakers, steering her away from dangerous situations, always in the shadows.

He never tried to upstage her and his discretion was a byword. Sir Denis did not give interviews so was never, even by accident, liable to embarrass her.

His death, in the Lister Hospital in central London, came after a short illness.

Last January he underwent a five-hour heart bypass operation and appeared to have made what his medical advisers regarded as a surprisingly quick recovery.

After a spell of convalescence in a spa hotel, Sir Denis travelled to South Africa, where his son Mark lives, to recuperate.

He returned to Britain after several weeks and appeared to be making progress. But two weeks ago, he started to feel ill and was admitted to the Royal Brompton Hospital. He was transferred to the Lister Hospital earlier this week.

Sir Denis was looked upon by those who did not know him as something of a buffoon. But that was far from the truth. His business activities were manifold and he was highly successful in the boardroom.

He was renowned for enjoying "a tincture" of gin and tonic from time to time, and his daughter daughter Carol used to speak admiringly of what she called his "copious" intake.

Sir Denis and his long-term friend and golfing companion, Lord Deedes, were the subject of the famous Private Eye Dear Bill letters, which amused him greatly.

As the first male escort at No 10, he pioneered a supremely difficult role with dignity, resilience and humour, although he sometimes got irritated with those who fussed round his wife.

But when the crowds thronged in too close, it was Sir Denis's elbows, plus a sharp word of rebuke, which kept them at bay.

And he was positively furious when once in Sri Lanka, officials let her stand for hours in the burning sun at the commissioning of a dam.

Leading the tributes today were the Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith and his wife Betsy who said: "I am devastated by the sad news of Sir Denis Thatcher's death today.

"Denis Thatcher was one of the most decent, determined and kind people that we have known. In a world that so often seems to have lost its manners, Denis Thatcher represented so much of what was best in the wartime generation.

"He was always thoughtful and interested in people. He possessed a remarkable sense of fun and a real zest for life that bubbled through in every encounter."

And former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath, who often had his differences with Baroness Thatcher, described his as a man "with an ability to create good fellowship and enjoy it amongst all those with whom he mixed".

Sir Edward added: "We all extend to Margaret and their children our deepest sympathy."

Sir John Nott, who was Margaret Thatcher's Defence Secretary during the Falklands conflict, described him as "a marvellous man - in a way very simple, very intelligent and always charming to everybody".

And the Prime Minister Tony Blair sent his "deepest sympathy" to Lady Thatcher and the rest of Sir Denis's family.

The funeral service, which will be strictly private, will be at the Royal Hospital chapel, Chelsea, next Thursday, followed by cremation. A memorial service will be held later in the year.

INFESTATION of head lice in children has increased dramatically in the past decade, but many parents are ignorant of the best treatment, according to new research.

One in eight primary schoolchildren are affected and the numbers are set to continue rising.

But as medical treatments start to fail parents are turning to old wives' tales and potentially dangerous alternatives to help.

Dr Ian Burgess, director of Insect Research and Development Limited, Cambridge, believes the only way desperate parents can stop the cycle is to prevent the lice spreading by detecting the problem early.

It can take about six to eight weeks for the hair to be infested and the head to start itching, but with regular combing lice could be caught before this stage, he said.

"Catch the female before it has hatched or the pair before they mate and there is no problem," he said.

The current situation is a sorry state according to the research featured in the British Medical Journal.

"Sales of treatment is about three million a year and as this is mainly repeat treatment around 500,000 children are affected," Dr Burgess said.

"In Newport in 1985-6, the school district surveyed the area and 0.8% of the children had lice.

"The UK figures today are a 15-fold rise with 12% of all primary school children suffering."

The growth can be blamed on a number of reasons.

Many of the lice have become resistant to chemicals.

Dr Burgess said, "In the next five to 10 years the existing products will have vanished."

Parents also have less time to check their children's hair.

Myths such as the belief that lice are attracted to long hair, and that you need to sterilise bed sheets after an outbreak, can only add to the misunderstanding of the issue.

Dr Burgess's research has noted some parents have developed the attitude that the treatment does not work and it will not kill you so therefore the lice should just be ignored.

This will infuriate other parents as the responsibility for treating these infestations lies with the family.

And while head lice are not poisonous they can have some unpleasant side effects.

Dr Burgess said, "If you have about 500 then you can suffer greatly.

"In the long term it can cause children to be irritable and feel lousy due to the increase in histamines, much like when you have a cold.

"There is also the possibility that children are allergic to the lice which could result in sores.

"The final risk is of secondary infection.

"If children scratch their head with a dirty fingernail and infect their blood they could suffer from impetigo, weepy sores.

"Once the child has this then so will the lice and impetigo can be passed from child to child."

Part of the problem is that some of the stigma is lost and Dr Burgess has noted that some children compare lice and purposely try to catch it.

According to Dr Burgess the longer lice are left, the more unpleasant it is to treat.

While many parents might decide to avoid the chemicals and opt for the herbal route, there is the possibility they could cause different problems.

"There is a danger in misusing oils," Dr Burgess said.

"For instance too much rosemary on the wrong person could cause an epileptic form of seizure."

Currently prevention is the best cure.

TORY leader Nick Bourne may have spent the campaign taking pot shots at asylum seekers and jobless drug addicts but the manifesto nods at the concept of compassionate Conservatism, underpinned by Blairite policies.

Called Winning for Wales: Fighting for the Vulnerable the manifesto echoes New Labour's third term vision.

The creation of foundation hospitals across Wales, putting private finance into health and education, promises to ship patients off to private hospitals if they are let down by the NHS and an expansion of faith and specialist schools are so Blairite you could be forgiven for thinking the document was approved by Downing Street rather than Conservative Central Office.

* Establish foundation hospitals throughout Wales

* Establish an all Wales Health Organisation

* Use private finance to support hospital build programme

* Fully fund a Children's Hospital in Wales

* Establish routine waiting time of no more than six months from time of GP referral and send patients for private treatment, or abroad, if facing a lengthy wait.

* Scrap tuition fees

* Support the expansion of faith and specialist schools

* Use of private finance for school build programme

Havant 4 Merthyr 2

MERTHYR Tydfil crashed to defeat after a crazy 12-minute spell at the start of the second half saw them not only lose a well deserved lead but also concede four times.

It is fair to say that the first 45 minutes could have ended 3-3, such were the chances created by both teams.

Crucially, though, it was the Martyrs who had the lead at the interval, courtesy of a spectacular strike from leading goal scorer Cortez Belle.

On 15 minutes the rangy striker collected a free kick wide on the left before cutting inside and unleashing a ferocious 20-yard drive into the top corner of the net.

Both Brett Poate and David Town went close for Havant but were unable to get the better of Merthyr goalkeeper Neil Thomas.

However, at the other end, Belle and Paul Keddle had excellent chances to increase the Martyrs' lead while Jason Donovan brought a fine save from Gareth Howells.

But it was after the break that the goals came thick and fast with Havant scoring two in two minutes to take the lead through Chukkie Eribenne and then Alec Masson, both with close- range headers.

But their lead was to be shortlived as Craig Stein collected a flick-on from Belle before coolly lobbing Howells to bring the teams level again on the hour mark.

Not that the action ended there. Gary Thorne was adjudged to have fouled Eribenne in the box on 66 minutes, allowing the powerful striker to step up and restore the home side's lead from the penalty spot.

And, just a minute later, it was 4-2 when Merthyr were carved open at the back, allowing Town to hit a low drive from 15 yards past a stranded Thomas.

Merthyr rallied late on and Keddle, Belle and Danny Carter drew saves from Howells, but were unable to get the crucial goal that would have tested the nerves of the home side, who haven't won a league game since November.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I get only little response from blowing at the Microphone of my iPhone 4.

A: If you see the microphone meter moving, but only a little, try blowing at the left corner of the phone instead. Also, make sure that microphone amplification is set to 2x in Wivi Band, on the main screen. Alternatively, you can always use the included headset. The reason why this occurs is that iPhone 4 has built-in noise cancellation, when blowing at the internal microphone.

Q: The octave keys sometimes let go when I play the keyboard?

A: Make sure your screen is as clean as possible! This makes it easier for the iPhone to detect multi-touches.

Q: Why is the sound low-fi on my 1st generation iPhone?

A: The iPhone 2G (1st generation) automatically locks at 8 kHz sample rate whenever the internal microphone is in use. To get high-quality output on 2G iPhones, you must use a compatible headset with microphone.

Q: How do I use it on my iPod Touch?

A: If your model supports it, you can use a headset or an external microphone. If you don't have a microphone, the Wivi Band instruments will lock at the highest dynamics and are still playable, but without wind controller support.

Q: Why are some keys blacked out?

A: Keys that are blacked out are outside of the natural range of the instrument. Most wind instruments only have a 4-5 octaves range.

Know Your Stone

Natural stone can be classified into two general categories according to its composition: siliceous stone or calcareous stone. Knowing the difference is critical when selecting cleaning products. Siliceous stone is composed mainly of silica or quartz-like particles. It tends to be very durable and relatively easy to clean with mild acidic cleaning solutions. Types of siliceous stone include granite, slate, sandstone, quartzite, brownstone and bluestone.

Calcareous stone is composed mainly of calcium carbonate. It is sensitive to acidic cleaning products and frequently requires different cleaning procedures than siliceous stone. Types of calcareous stone include marble, travertine, limestone and onyx. What may work on siliceous stone may not be suitable on calcareous surfaces.

How to Tell the Difference

A simple acid sensitivity test can be performed to determine whether a stone is calcareous or siliceous. You will need about 4 oz. of a 10%solution of muriatic acid and an eye-dropper. Or you can use household vinegar and an eyedropper. Because this test may permanently etch the stone, select an out of the way area(a corner or closet) and several inches away from the mortar joint. Apply a few drops of the acid solution to the stone surface on an area about the size of a quarter. If the stone is calcareous, the acid drops will begin to bubble or fizz vigorously. If little or no reaction occurs, the stone can be considered siliceous. Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry. This test may not be effective if surface sealers or liquid polishes have been applied. If an old sealer is present, chip a small piece of stone away and apply the acid solution to the fractured surface. CAUTION: Muriatic acid is corrosive and is considered to be a hazardous substance. Proper head and body protection is necessary when acid is used.

Stone Finishes

A polished finish on the stone has a glossy surface that reflects light and emphasizes the color and marking of the material. This type of finish is used on walls, furniture tops and other items, as well as floor tiles.

A honed finish is a satin smooth surface with relatively little light reflection. Generally, a honed finish is preferred for floors, stair treads, thresholds and other locations where heavy traffic will wear off the polished finish. A honed finish may also be used on furniture tops and other surfaces.

A flamed finish is a rough textured surface used frequently on granite floor tiles.

Stone Colors and Appearance

Granites and marbles are quarried throughout the world in a variety of colors with varying mineral compositions. In most cases, marbles and granites can be identified by visible particles at the surface of the stone. Marble will normally show “veins” or high concentrations. The minerals in granite will typically appear as small flecks distributed uniformly in the stone. Each type of stone is unique and will vary in color, texture and marking.

Sandstones vary widely in color due to different minerals and clays found in the stone. Sandstone is light gray to yellow or red. A dark reddish brown sandstone, also called brownstone, has commonly been used in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. Bluestone is a dense, hard, fine-grained sandstone of greenish-gray or bluish-gray color and is quarried in the eastern United States.

Limestone is a widely used building stone with colors typically light gray, tan or buff. A distinguishing characteristic of many limestones is the presence of fossils that are frequently visible in the stone surface. Slate is dark green, black, gray, dark red or multi-colored. It is most commonly used as a flooring material and for roof tiles and is often distinguished by its distinct cleft texture.

The most sweeping gun control legislation to come before Congress in decades cleared a key procedural hurdle in the Senate on Thursday, launching what will be weeks of floor debate over whether to tighten the nation's firearms laws in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

With relatives of Sandy Hook victims watching from the public gallery above, the Senate voted 68-31 to squash a planned Republican filibuster and send to the floor a bill that would create universal background checks for gun buyers.

The vote followed a week of intense lobbying by the Obama administration, which flew Sandy Hook families from Connecticut to Washington aboard Air Force One so they could go from one Senate office to the next, pressing lawmakers to back stricter gun control.

Just as the Senate was preparing to vote, the families from Newtown, Conn., issued a statement declaring that lawmakers who voted against it "should be ashamed of their attempt to silence efforts to prevent the next American tragedy."

Fourteen pro-gun Republicans intended to block the gun bill from passing, but 15 of their fellow Republicans joined with Democrats to prevent their filibuster. Republicans didn't necessarily vote for the bill because they support it but because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., promised they could add amendments of their own, some of which could ultimately lead to the bill's demise.

The progress made on the legislation is due in part to two senators from pro-gun states -- Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa. -- who this week struck a bipartisan compromise on background checks. The Manchin-Toomey deal, which will be the first amendment offered to the bill, would expand background checks to include gun shows and Internet sales but would specifically exempt firearms exchanged by family members.

"I think the issue needs to be debated," Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., who voted to start debate, told The Washington Examiner. "Too many incidents have happened in the country, and in my opinion, it is not because of guns but because of other issues, and we need to have the debate. I don't support the underlying bill."

The National Rifle Association is now trying to derail the legislation, warning lawmakers that the nation's most powerful gun lobby could turn against them in the 2014 elections.

"I don't underestimate the difficulty in the fight ahead," Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., one of the top advocates for the gun control measure, said after Thursday's vote. "We have faced an uphill climb every step of the way on this measure, and we are prepared for continuing odds against us."

Even if it cleared the Senate, the bill faces serious opposition in the House. Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, on Thursday showed little enthusiasm for expanding background checks, noting that few people have been prosecuted for violating current background check rules.

"I would think that before we begin to add more rules and regulations on law-abiding citizens," Boehner said, "that we at least expect our law enforcement personnel and the Department of Justice to enforce the current law, which they are not doing."

Gun control proponents on Thursday were buoyed by the Senate vote, the most dramatic step toward tighter gun laws since Congress banned assault weapons in 1994, a restriction that expired a decade later.

"Five days ago nobody thought we could move forward," Blumenthal said. "And we are moving forward."

Cheap Eats 2007: Urban Bar-B-Que

Cans of Natty Boh and Pabst for sale at a place with an Escoffier cookbook on the shelf? At this barbecue joint, there’s no shortage of quirkiness. A hot-sauce display offers Megadeath and Memphis Mojo, there’s an eBay addict’s assemblage of vintage knickknacks, and the front counter is plastered with bumper stickers (you look better on myspace).

The menu sticks to the classics: tender, sweetly basted barbecue chicken, snappy house-smoked sausage, brightly flavored slaw, and mustard-stoked red-potato salad. Many smokehouse aficionados judge a place by its pulled pork, and this tender pile of shredded meat is up to snuff, whether heaped on a kaiser roll or dipped in vinegary sauce. And though they might blanch at seeing a crab-cake sandwich on the menu, this one is pretty good. Despite the place’s obvious Texas pride—longhorn skulls and chili-pepper lights are everywhere—the Lonestar-style brisket and too-sweet chili are weak spots.

Though the place does a big takeout business, you can eat at one of a handful of tables, each with its own roll of paper towels and bucket of plasticware.

Death Mask: Act I: The Idea, part 3

So, last time I left off talking about Graft, the Extractor that specializes in near psychological torture in order to combat the rampant crime in the gritty future Mumbai. As a virtue of his occupation, Graft will be wearing a mask at all times. He is a mystery and the fact that you don't know who he is, is the very point of the story. But I felt that a character whose true face and identity you couldn't see would be difficult to connect to and stories are about connection. Enter some more characters.

Enter Andaria Kahje. She is a police officer and something of a tragic figure. Well, as you may have noticed, everyone here is really a tragic figure, but I'm sure that it will all work out or all of them in the end, right? Right?! Who knows.

Andaria is part of a special squad on the Mumbai police force that deals with terrorism. Her squad investigates terrorism in Mumbai and deals with threats. They are one part detective, one part SWAT.

And much to Andaria's dismay, they have to work with Graft to stop a terrorist threat.

Andaria is not alone in her dislike of the Extractors- many police officers don't like them- she's just a little more vocal about her opinions and a little more hostile. The officers call the Extractors, Death Masks because of their expressionless helmets. The police don't like them very much because Extractors operate as independent agents and they all answer to one man. They also pretty much torture people, which doesn't really endear them to the authorities.

As I mentioned before, this is not a happy story. Andaria is not the easiest person to be around but she is dedicated and a loyal friend. She also lost her left arm in a terrorist attack that took place a year previous. And if that wasn't enough, the love of her life disappeared during the same terrorist attack. For all anyone knows, he is just one of the thousands of nameless bodies.

It might seem like Andaria has a lot of personal investment in rooting out terrorism, but for her it's not about revenge, it's about doing the right thing and protecting people. It's been a year and her prosthetic arm just serves as a physical reminder of all that she has lost.

Secondary plot time!

Andaria's partner, Harjeet, encourages her to look for her lost love, and it works out well considering that they are still investigating what happened during the terrorist attack a year ago, looking for clues as to the terrorists plans.

So these are the two stories that intertwine in Death Mask: Extraction. A story of love and loss and morality. Well, I'm excited!

Here is where a lot of research comes in. I would hate for this webcomic to be blatantly unrealistic and inaccurate. At this point I have pretty much caught up to where I currently am in the webcomic creation process. Research, research, and more research. So it should be fun! If any of you readers out there have any interesting information, article links, or whatever, just send them my way! Stay tuned next week as I discuss where my research has taken me so far and what I have yet to learn about.

Tommy’s Honour

Tuesday September 12th, 2017 - 1.30pm
Duration: 1 Hour 52minutes

Tommy’s Honour is based on the powerfully moving true story of the challenging relationship between “Old” Tom and “Young” Tommy Morris, the dynamic father-son team who ushered in the modern game of golf. Surpassing his father’s success, Tommy’s fame grew to respect as he became founder of the Open Championship in 1860. But in contrast to Tommy’s public persona, his personal turmoil ultimately led him to rebel against both the aristocracy and his parents who shunned his passionate relationship with his wife.

Best Place to Score an Elway Bobblehead
Elway's Downtown

The new Elway's at the Ritz-Carlton is such a great people-watching spot that your neck will hurt after a few drinks at the bar, but that's far from the only head-bobbling going on. The steakhouse also has "a roomful" of real bobbleheads featuring its namesake, retired Bronco legend John Elway, and they're free for the asking to anyone who wants one. They read "Class of 2004" and look nice on a souvenir shelf. Make ours a 7 and 7, and keep 'em coming.

1881 Curtis St., Denver, 80202
Best American Graffiti Remake

Hot rod culture lives in Golden! From May until October, every first Saturday of the month, classic-car enthusiasts and John Milner wannabes roll up their sleeves and rev up their old cherry wheels to cruise up and down Golden Road. The action begins at 6 p.m. near an overcrowded Sonic Drive-In parking lot at 17191 South Golden Road; then, around 7:30, there's a group cruise into downtown Golden, with DJ Van Jeffries doing his Wolfman Jack from a van. Go on: Rediscover your inner Curt.

Best After-Work Hike
Alderfer/Three Sisters Park

Hikes need not be relegated to weekends and vacations. What better way to de-stress after a long workday than by taking in a sunset on a brisk scenic walk? Alderfer/Three Sisters Park is close enough to get to in forty minutes and far enough to feel like an escape from the city. Part of the Jefferson County Open Space program, it's anchored by the rock formations known as the Three Sisters and The Brother, which overlook Bear Creek Basin. The park boasts over ten miles of trails, with most in the half- to two-mile range. Sisters, which weaves through large boulders for just over a mile, is the most strenuous. But keep your eyes open and leave the iPod at home, because it's a popular trail for mountain bikers, too.

Highway 73, Centennial, 80439
Best Av

Colorado hockey lovers were in a state of bliss when the Avalanche brought back icons Peter Forsberg and Adam Foote earlier this year. But because of their age, not to mention Forsberg's physical condition, neither can be considered long-term solutions for what ails the team — a fact reinforced in early March when both got hurt. Paul Stastny, in contrast, is the team's future. He's just 22 and looks about twelve, but he's developed into a prolific force around the net, leading the team in points, goals and assists despite his own stretch on injured reserve. Forsberg and Foote, as well as fellow elder Joe Sakic, who's also had some mending to do of late, will play a major part in determining how far the Avs go this season. As for Stastny, he'll be key in 2008 and hopefully for years to come.

Best Beach

Who needs sand and water when you've got snow and sunshine? The Beach at A-Basin is simply the place where snow meets parking lot, but it's become a legend in its own right. In years gone by, it was a venue for wild parties as people camped and tailgated overnight to get first tracks in the morning. It's said that people even pulled stunts like hiking up the mountain with a couch on skis. The scene has mellowed since then — you can't camp out anymore — but you can reserve a parking spot. So when spring comes, it's an idyllic place to pull in, turn up the stereo, set up your lawn chairs and grill, throw a couple of beers on ice — or snow — and spend a day at the beach.

Best Bronco

During their glory days, the Broncos had plenty of players who were arguably the finest at their position in the NFL. Now they've got just one: Champ Bailey. Because of the Broncs' erratic, all-too-often anemic pass rush last season, the appropriately named Champ didn't rack up the interceptions he'd earned in years past. But he hasn't lost a step, and he remains a smart, instinctive defender, a vicious hitter and a role model for his teammates professionally and personally. As a bonus, he lured one of the team's most important off-season acquisitions: linebacker Boss Bailey, his talented younger brother. If there are any more Baileys like these two, send 'em over.

Best Coach — College

Kathy McConnell-Miller faced a tough task when she took over as the Lady Buffs' coach in 2005. Not only did she have to replace legendary predecessor Ceal Barry, but from a talent standpoint, the cupboard was bare. During the three seasons since then, however, the team has improved from respective records of 9-21 and 13-17 during her first two years to a 16-14 mark and a bid to the National Invitation Tournament to cap her third. Better yet, she's got a large returning cast, with just two seniors on the 2007-2008 roster. The onetime powerhouse is on its way back to respectability, and McConnell-Miller is a big reason why.

Best Coach — Professional

In April 2007, when Clint Hurdle received a two-year contract extension, a significant portion of the Rockies nation was agog. In most major-league cities, doubters argued, a skipper with a putrid .447 winning percentage would have been given the heave-ho, not guaranteed employment for two more seasons. But Hurdle proved his worth during the roller-coaster campaign that followed, keeping the team from cratering during the dreadful early months and preventing players from losing their heads after the wins began piling up. Critics may gripe about some of his in-game moves, but his good humor and prodigious skills as a motivator and communicator make him the right manager at the right time.

Best College Basketball Celebrities

The combination of singers Britney Spears and Whitney Houston sounds nightmarish, given that both performers have turned into walking/talking versions of E! True Hollywood Story. But the basketballing Spears and Houston make a much more effective pair, with Brittany, a freshman, ending the 2007-2008 season as the Lady Buffs' second-leading scorer, and Whitney, a sophomore, providing steady play off the bench. Of course, ESPN produced a segment on the pair because of their famous monikers, not their ability to dribble and shoot. But if things keep going the way they did this season, they'll soon be making names for themselves.

Best Crush

The Crush boasts a seasoned quarterback, John Dutton, and a corps of effective receivers, including Brad Pyatt, a University of Northern Colorado product who's returned to the state where he got his start. Still, the reason for the organization's popularity remains a man who hasn't played a down for the team: co-owner John Elway. Number 7 is a relentless salesman for the Arena Football League in general and the Crush in particular, as the team's website acknowledges: A photo of Big John gets more prominent play on the home page than anyone currently wearing a helmet and pads. Fans can't see him throw touchdown passes anymore, but sharing an arena with him is the next best thing.

Best Cure for Cabin Fever
The Island

There comes a time every winter when you reach the brink of madness. You've had enough of snow sports and snow in general, and you just want to put on shorts and play in the sand. A trip to The Island is what you need. With year-round indoor sand volleyball, it's as close to summer as anything you're going to find in Colorado during the winter months. The food is good, and cheap. The drink specials are plentiful, the people are friendly, and there's lots of action to take in. While Denver does have a cult-like group of serious players who eat, sleep and breathe volleyball — playing every night in clothing straight outta Margaritaville — casual players are welcome, too. They can opt to play backyard-style 6 on 6 instead of the ultra-competitive and exhausting 2 on 2. A lot of the action is league play, but drop-ins happen most days. The Island serves up summer all year round.

2233 S. Geneva St., Denver, 80247
Best Early-Riser Resort Special

If you're already the kind of skier who wakes up before sunrise to beat traffic and be the first in line for the yet-unopened lifts, this deal might be worth a shot. For an extra $20 a day above your lift-ticket price, or in addition to your season pass, you can load the American Eagle lift fifteen minutes earlier than your cash-poor peers and get the day's very first fresh tracks. The extra $20 will also get you into Copper's version of HOV lanes at the American Eagle, American Flyer, Super Bee, Excelerator, Kokomo, High Point and Timberline Express lifts for the rest of the day. It's a good way to buy time and spend less of it in line.

Zoella Just Appeared On a Maths Test And Something Doesn't ADD UP

6 March 2017, 12:41

By Hollie-Anne Brooks

Er, we've just found the world's coolest teacher.

Without sounding old, when we were at school maths lessons were pretty drab- equations, long division and trigonometry. Honestly, we struggled to stay awake. But now, as it turns out, maths lessons just got very cool in this one school after The World's Best Teacher featured a Zoella question on a percentage test. Yes, really.

zoella maths test

15 year old YouTuber Moll Durkin took to Twitter to share her surprise at seeing one of the biggest Internet stars in the world crop up on her exam.

And yes, the answer Molly wrote is correct.

But here's the real question, where is this bargain hairdresser and how does she get Zoe's hair looking so good?!

Point Your Fan at Hurricane Irma to Make it go Away, are you RSVP'd?

Are you RSVP'd to the event of the season?

A whopping 27,000 people have said they were "going" to this event and another 30,000 have marked their interest on Facebook. At its core, the event is a call to action: grab your fan and point that baby at Hurricane Irma.

Talk about what sort of fans might get the job done has been keeping the comment section alive in the group. Though the event is marked to 'take place' in the United States, people who live in the European Union are weighing in. They are discussing the option of using vacuums to pull Irma out to sea while the fans in the United States side push Irma away.

Seems completely logical, because in the land of the internet everything is a joke with 50 layers of poorly nuanced memes.

► Make it easy to keep up to date with more stories like this. Download the WFMY News 2 App now.

Of course, the combined 57,000 people in on this elaborate joke know that fans, nor vacuums, are going to sway the path of Irma. Humor, however, can be an effective medicine when dealing with serious matters.

With all of the destruction, chaos, and death that has come in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, it is understandable to meet the potential of something similar with humor. So here's to both a laugh and legitimate concern for those in the path of Irma. She is a strong storm and where she is headed still is not perfectly clear.

If you are interested in RSVPing to the event, you can check it out here.

Violence and Injury Prevention and Disability (VIP)

New violence prevention initiative launched in Scotland

On 31 March the collaborative initiative to support the development and implementation of violence prevention policies in low- and middle-income countries was launched at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. The collaboration comprises of WHO, the Scottish Government and the University of St Andrews. WHO was represented by Dr Alex Butchart and Ms Alison Gehring from WHO's Department for Violence and Injury Prevention and Disability. Partner organisations and invited stakeholders, including the Minister for Community Justice, attended the launch to hear about the programme goals and to discuss how the Scottish experience through the Violence Reduction Unit - the national centre of expertise on tackling violent crime through a multisectoral preventative approach - can be used to meet these goals. The importance of this unprecedented collaborative initiative around violence prevention was highlighted as well as the value of reciprocal shared learning. Partner organizations demonstrated a clear commitment to the aims of the programme and strong foundations were set for programme development and delivery.
