The Southeast of Saline Lady Trojans got back to their winning ways tonight with a dominant 67-36 win over the Ellinwood Lady Eagles.
With this win SES will head into the final game of their season at 13-6 while Ellinwood falls to 11-7.
The Lady Trojans were led by a 22 point effort by Karsyn Schlesener, who was assisted by 13 from Maddie Harris.
SES led from the very beginning and took a commanding 43-20 lead into the half, but Ellinwood fought to the very end.
“It felt like they never went away,” SES head coach Shauna Smith said. “We were up by 23 at halftime but even that lead never felt safe, they were very capable of hitting some big back to back threes to keep them in this game.”
Ellinwood got 11 points from Daphne Doll in the losing effort but failed to find anyone else in double digits.
Once again, the depth of Southeast was on display as the team got meaningful contributions from seven players on both sides of the floor.
“We have 15 kids right now and every single one that gets on the floor is ready to get after it,” Smith said.
The Lady Trojans will be back in action tomorrow night when they host Republic County in their regular season finale at 6pm.

This graph is an experimental feature that tracks number of views over time.
The number of registered jobseekers in France rose by 17,800 in November to 3.29 million, the labour ministry said Thursday, challenging government claims to have bucked a trend of spiralling unemployment.
PARIS: The number of registered jobseekers in France rose by 17,800 in November to 3.29 million, the labour ministry said Thursday, challenging government claims to have bucked a trend of spiralling unemployment.
Labour Minister Michel Sapin claimed President Francois Hollande's pledge to curb growing joblessness by the year's end was still on track, if part-time and short-term workers were added to the total number of jobseekers.
That number actually fell by 6,900 to 4.87 million if those workers were factored in, prompting Sapin to say that the reversal of the upward trend is "well and truly under course in the fourth quarter."
A slight fall in the number of unemployed for October, of 20,500, had raised government hopes France's years-long jobless crisis may be finally drawing to an end.
The Socialist leader, who is under fierce pressure to tackle unemployment with polls showing his approval ratings the lowest of any president in modern French history, claimed last month he had met his electoral pledge to halt the rise in joblessness by the end of this year.
Hollande's reaction to the latest figures was guarded. He simply said the new data "did not modify the trend".
Nevertheless, he asserted that "the reversal of the unemployment curve, which is something I had set out to do, has truly begun."
He said the number of those with no employment whatsoever had been rising by 30,000 per month in the first quarter of 2013, and that the figure had fallen steadily during the year.
"This movement, to be significant, must follow month after month," he said. "It's a daily battle."

Presentation on theme: "Activation Energy and Catalyst. Temperature and Rate Generally, as temperature increases, so does the reaction rate. This is because k is temperature."— Presentation transcript:
Temperature and Rate Generally, as temperature increases, so does the reaction rate. This is because k is temperature dependent.
The Collision Model In a chemical reaction, bonds are broken and new bonds are formed. Molecules can only react if they collide with each other.
The Collision Model Furthermore, molecules must collide with the correct orientation and with enough energy to cause bond breakage and formation.
Activation Energy In other words, there is a minimum amount of energy required for reaction: the activation energy, E a. Just as a ball cannot get over a hill if it does not roll up the hill with enough energy, a reaction cannot occur unless the molecules possess sufficient energy to get over the activation energy barrier.
Reaction Coordinate Diagrams It is helpful to visualize energy changes throughout a process on a reaction coordinate diagram like this one for the rearrangement of methyl isonitrile.
Reaction Coordinate Diagrams The diagram shows the energy of the reactants and products (and, therefore, E). The high point on the diagram is the transition state. The species present at the transition state is called the activated complex. The energy gap between the reactants and the activated complex is the activation energy barrier.
Maxwell–Boltzmann Distributions Temperature is defined as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a sample. At any temperature there is a wide distribution of kinetic energies.
Maxwell–Boltzmann Distributions As the temperature increases, the curve flattens and broadens. Thus at higher temperatures, a larger population of molecules has higher energy.
Maxwell–Boltzmann Distributions If the dotted line represents the activation energy, then as the temperature increases, so does the fraction of molecules that can overcome the activation energy barrier. As a result, the reaction rate increases.
Maxwell–Boltzmann Distributions This fraction of molecules can be found through the expression where R is the gas constant and T is the Kelvin temperature. f = e - E a RT
Arrhenius Equation Svante Arrhenius developed a mathematical relationship between k and E a : k = A e where A is the frequency factor, a number that represents the likelihood that collisions would occur with the proper orientation for reaction. - E a RT
Arrhenius Equation Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, the equation becomes ln k = - ( ) + ln A 1T1T y = m x + b Therefore, if k is determined experimentally at several temperatures, E a can be calculated from the slope of a plot of ln k vs.. EaREaR 1T1T
Catalysts Catalysts increase the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction. Catalysts change the mechanism by which the process occurs.
Catalysts One way a catalyst can speed up a reaction is by holding the reactants together and helping bonds to break.
Enzymes Enzymes are catalysts in biological systems. The substrate fits into the active site of the enzyme much like a key fits into a lock.

20 Best Things to Do in Gulf Breeze, FL
In 2021, the National Research Center’s National Community Survey named Gulf Breeze, Florida, as the best place to live with a #1 overall quality of life.
It’s a booming bedroom community in Pensacola, and it’s got the highest household income in the metro.
All these qualities make Gulf Breeze a terrific suburb to settle down in and an excellent place to visit.
Visit Gulf Breeze to catch some sun, ride the waves, and see some animals.
You can also go snorkeling there.
If you’re planning to visit, a good itinerary will cover the Gulf Breeze Zoo, where you can see hundreds of animals, and the Gulf Islands National Seashore, where you can enjoy the water.
Do you want to know more about Gulf Breeze, FL?
Here’s a list of the best things to do in the city:
Learn Local History at Fort Pickens
Your visit to the Gulf Islands National Seashore is incomplete without stopping by the historic Fort Pickens.
It was one of the forts built to defend Pensacola Bay and the Pensacola Navy Yard from enemy attacks.
Likewise, Fort Pickens is just one of many forts built along the 3,500-mile Florida seaboard under the initiative of the US government that began in 1816.
Today, Fort Pickens stands as a patriotic symbol of the United States and its government’s commitment to protecting democracy.
It is also a terrific place for exploration and wildlife viewing.
Bring Your Kids to Fast Eddie’s Fun Center
Enjoy an active and fun afternoon with your kids at Fast Eddie’s Fun Center, where you can ride go-karts all day.
The center has four tracks, where you can let your kids race each other or race against you.
Likewise, they also have a Crazy eight ride with a bridge and some sharp turns.
You can also try the Spinnin’ and Grinnin’ ride for a wild slip-sliding adventure.
If you’ve got toddlers, then you can put them in Junior Racers.
You could also take them on a double-ride go-kart with you.
Competitive kids who are 16 years old and above can drive on the Fast Eddies Superkart Speedway, outfitted with computerized scoring and time-tracking.
Enjoy the Sea at the Gulf Islands National Seashore
One of your first stops at Gulf Breeze should be the Gulf Islands National Seashore, where you can enjoy various activities on and off the water.
For example, you can go out on the deep ocean and go snorkeling if you’re feeling adventurous.
Otherwise, you can simply go fishing for a relaxing time.
If you’re a landlubber, you can go hiking along the property, where you might get the chance to spot local wildlife.
You might spot the gopher tortoise or one of the over 300 bird species living there.
Dive into the sea and see sand dollars, starfish, and crabs.
Likewise, take your kayak to the deep sea and watch pods of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins swim alongside you.
Enjoy Your Private Beach at Deadman’s Island
Deadman’s Island is a terrific place for swimming, kayaking, fishing, and camping (only with a permit from the city of Gulf Breeze).
However, this island is most known for being everyone’s private beach.
You can only reach this island by boat, so not a lot of tourists can get there.
In fact, only a handful of residents can access this place from their homes on Highpoint Drive.
If you can get there, you’ll see a unique coastal ecosystem featuring unspoiled bayous and saltmarshes.
Thanks to restoration efforts, the native oyster habitat has begun thriving again, leading to an increase in the local oyster population.
Chase the Dolphins along the Chase-N-Fins Dolphin Cruise
If you want to spend the day chasing after the playful dolphins swimming in Pensacola Bay, book a tour with the Chase-N-Fins Dolphin Cruise.
You’ll take a tour on a converted 50-foot twin-diesel Navy Launch that can seat 49 passengers.
During the cruise, you’re free to walk around the deck to take photos of the dolphins.
Likewise, you can also head to the shaded area and watch the dolphins leap and play alongside the boat.
You’ll take a trip through the Pensacola Bay area, passing through Fort Pickens, the Pensacola Pass, and the Lighthouse at the Pensacola Naval Air Station.
The whole cruise lasts for two hours, so you don’t need to feel antsy about seeing dolphins.
They always come around because they love to play.
See the Animals at the Gulf Breeze Zoo
The 50-acre Gulf Breeze Zoo features more than 850 animals gathered from around the world.
It’s the largest animal attraction in the area, so you’ll miss out on a major attraction if you don’t stop by.
During your visit, you’ll find around 137 species of birds, reptiles, and mammals.
Look around and observe the monkeys, squawkers, big cats, tortoises, and kangaroos.
If you want to see the bigger animals, the zoo lets you ride the Safari Line Limited train to see them up close.
You can watch the gorillas and hippos in their habitat and then ride along herds of free-ranging animals on the plain.
Then, you can feed the sheep, goats, pigs, birds, and llamas.
Try the Spirits at the Rollins Distillery
The father-son duo of Paul and Patrick Rollins operate the Rollins Distillery, the first licensed distillery in the Florida Panhandle.
Both Paul and Patrick share a fiery passion for distilling and innate skill in crafting of spirits.
Before starting the company, they simply dreamed of running their own distillery.
Today, they have found success and realized their mutual ambitions.
Likewise, the Rollins Distillery crafts every batch of spirits from scratch in order to satisfy only the most discerning palates.
Moreover, they distill every batch by hand.
They source only the freshest and highest-quality ingredients to produce the best drinks each time.
Explore their options of drinks, from vodka to rum, and enjoy them with friends.
Explore Nature at the Naval Live Oaks Nature Preserve
This preserve belongs to the massive 135,000-acre Gulf Islands National Seashore that covers the Florida and Mississippi Gulf coasts.
However, that doesn’t mean the Naval Live Oaks Nature Preserve isn’t worth visiting in its own right.
If you’re curious about history and ecology, this property is the place for you.
In 1828, President John Quincy Adams and the secretary of the navy classified the area as a Naval Live Oak Reservation.
The government used the southern live oaks there to build their wooden warships, mainly for hulls and decking.
For example, these oaks helped the USS Constitution survive a fierce battle versus the HMS Guerriere during the War of 1812.
Today, you can hike through the Naval Live Oaks area, following the property’s 7.5-mile trails.
Take a break and enjoy a nice picnic inside the covered pavilion or the other picnic tables on the grounds.
If you’ve got kids interested in camping, the preserve offers a youth group campground that’s available for organized camping.
Go Hiking along the Gulf Breeze Parkway Trail
Bring your bike, or just go on foot, and travel the Gulf Breeze Parkway Trail for a dose of adventure in the Florida Panhandle.
This trail is a side path that runs alongside the Gulf Breeze Parkway south of Pensacola.
So, if you wish to navigate this route without getting into it with cars and trucks, you might want to check out this trail.
You’ll also see the fantastic beaches and the seaside communities flourishing along the way.
If you need some shade, the trail leads you through the majestic Florida woods to the south.
Bring your camera with you to capture some magnificent nature shots, too.
Check Out Opal Beach, the Hidden Gem of Northwest Florida
In 1995, Hurricane Opal ravaged the dunes of Northwest Florida, flattening the sand and turning the shoreline into a smooth beach the color of sugar.
You’ll find various amenities there, such as outdoor showers and a picnic shelter.
Likewise, you can go out on a boat for some fishing, or you can hike along the dunes to spot some local wildlife like native birds.
You can also spot some interesting sea creatures in the water.
Take a Photo at the Pensacola Beach Sign
One of the major landmarks in Gulf Breeze is the Pensacola Beach Sign, a great backdrop for family photos.
During the 1950s, the Santa Rosa Island Authority commissioned the original sign, with designs from Patricia Born of the Dodson, Craddock & Born ad agency.
Lamar Advertising built the sign in 1960.
Relive the loud aesthetic of the 60s under this bright, colorful sign, featuring a sailfish with orange, yellow, and green fins.
The sign points motorists toward the scenic route east along the Gulf of Mexico while advertising the “World’s Whitest Beaches.”
Go on a Sea Adventure with Condor Sailing Adventures
On the other hand, if you just want to coast along the surface of the sea, then hop on a sailboat with the Condor Sailing Adventures.
Various companies offer sailboat charters along Pensacola Beach, but Condor is the only one deploying a luxurious world-class 40-foot Condor racing trimaran.
You’ll feel the breeze whipping your face as you go where the wind takes you along the serene Pensacola Bay.
The Condor trimaran is also perfect for people who have problems with the water.
For example, if you can’t swim, or if you’re pregnant, or if you get easily seasick, this sailboat is for you.
The company says the boat doesn’t rock, making the journey incredibly smooth, you’ll feel like you’re just sitting by the pool.
Honor the Fallen at the Barrancas National Cemetery
The Barrancas National Cemetery is one of the Civil War Era National Cemeteries scattered across the United States, under the National Parks Service.
If you want to deepen your understanding of the Civil War, you can visit these places alongside museums, too.
During the 19th century, three forts guarded the entrance to Pensacola Bay, one of the Gulf of Mexico’s best natural harbors.
These forts became a Civil War battleground.
The Barrancas National Cemetery stands on the grounds of the Pensacola’s Naval Air Station.
More than 36,000 military veterans rest in this cemetery.
Several of these fallen soldiers have received the Medal of Honor.
Likewise, the cemetery also reserves a section for soldiers buried there during the 1800s.
This section also predates the national cemetery itself by over 50 years.
Take the Plunge with Bay Breeze Dive Center
If you want to go scuba diving or snorkeling without much hassle, then drop by the Bay Breeze Dive Center.
It’s the only dive shop in the whole Santa Rosa County that has direct access to the sea from their backdoor.
Likewise, the shop has a boat ramp sitting just 150 yards from their front door.
You can literally dive into the sea mere yards from the dive shop.
The dive shop charters boats to take you to the popular dive spots in the vicinity.
Explore the spot you want, from the wrecks of the USS Oriskany, a Russian freighter, Pete Tides II, Tex Edwards, and three coal barges.
However, you might need to book a reservation as far in advance as possible for the USS Oriskany dive area.
Visit Another Fortress at Fort McRee
As part of the US government’s efforts to shore up coastal defenses, they built several fortresses along miles of coastline.
Pensacola Bay is no exception.
One of these forts is Fort Pickens, and the others are Fort McRee and Fort Barrancas.
Both Fort Pickens and Fort McRee are within the Gulf Islands National Seashore.
In 1834, construction began on Fort McRee, named after a distinguished officer, Brevet Colonel William McRee, who served in the War of 1812. Five years later, they finished the fort.
Together with Fort Pickens and Fort Barrancas, Fort McRee defended the Pensacola Bay and the Pensacola Naval Yard from enemy attacks.
Fort McRee became a battleground during the Civil War when Union forces laid siege to the Confederate forces inside the fort.
Union warships bombarded the fort with artillery fire, nearly destroying the fort, leading to the Confederate Army abandoning the place in May 1862.
Today, nothing much remains of Fort McRee, besides old ruins.
You can see these ruins for yourself and revisit the bloodiest conflict ever fought on American soil.

The Xtra Factor host Caroline Flack has admitted that, while she is officially single, she is enjoying her life and is dating other people. However, Caroline has admitted that she is still very close to 18 year old One Direction singer Harry Styles, who she had a fling with last year.
Flack explained to Look, “I'm single, happy and dating. I'm not looking for anything, just having fun and if I find a connection with someone then I'll take it from there.”
She then went on to talk of her relationship with Harry Styles, “We got very close for a time but that's between me and Harry. We are still friends, he's brilliant and so much fun.”
Caroline Flack and Harry Styles first met when One Direction were on The X Factor and the two admitted to dating after a number of pictures of the two together appeared in the press. This caused many to slate Caroline due to her being fifteen years older. The two eventually split but admitted that they would always remain friends and it appears that they are staying true to their word.

Orchard, Lawn And Garden Guide
From the FOREWORD .
To the city dweller, the Suburban resident, and to all who only have a small piece of ground that you think worthless, wherever you may reside, should you be so fortunate as to secure this book, do not cast it aside, but study it, as it will enable you to make profitable and beautiful, that which has been an eye-sore and a menace to health, in so many instances "The Back Yard."
"If he who causes two stocks of grass to grow where one grew before is a public benefactor,"
What shall we call him, who causes vegetables to grow and flowers to bloom in places that before were unsightly and often- unhealthy, and at the same time becomes places of beauty, pleasure and pride.
I have known the compiler of this little volume for years, and it has always been his ambition to see the waste places beautified and the back yards become places of as much or more pride than the front, and with this idea in view this little volume is offered. Could you but see some of the transformations that he has wrought, you would exclaim why was this not done before. The compilations are not theoretical, but the result of practical experience and the instructions so simple that any intelligent person can follow, and get good results, as all technical terms are left out.
It is to be hoped that the efforts put forth will be the cause of much pleasure and profit to those who may. study its pages. Spend your spare moments profitably and pleasantly in following the directions herein laid down.
H. D. DERRICK,
A Child's Garden Of Verses
A Child's Garden of Verses is a book of poems that captures the adventure and imagination of childhood. This book is a collection of his poems about the joys of author Robert Stevenson's (Treasure Island and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde fame author, among other popular books he wrote) childhood.
Stevenson cannot simply sit quietly on a shelf. His works beg to be lifted and opened for new worlds to discover. As a child, he was lonely and ill and many of the poems in this collection for children exude that sense of isolation. This poetry book is so very simple, yet so very charming. The topics are all things that children would want to read about, which makes for a very fitting title. Stevenson explores the mind of a child so very well.
If you want a book of traditional poetry, the kind the politicians and educationalists and general old old persons are always complaining that no one reads or writes these days, this would be the one.
So beautiful and childlike, not in the simplicity of the poems but in Stevenson's incredible way of showing the mind of a child. These are poems for any child . These are poems of imagination and play. These are poems from a child's view point written by a man of great literary talent. These are poems you can read over and over to a child or read just for the sheer pleasure by yourself. These are poems of beauty and childhood.
This book is the favorite book of poetry for many, children and adults alike, and it has served many, many for generations and has withstood the test of time.
A wonderful collection and addition to your library, happiness and inspiration!

The Children's Garden Book
A gardener "ought to have a little make-believe," the Southern California garden maven Olive Percival mused more than eighty years ago. Inspired by this principle, she devised plans for whimsical gardens that could be created by children and adults alike.
Her delightful schemes included "The Garden of Aladdin," an enchanted, sunken orchard fragrant with kumquat, persimmon, and orange trees; "The Fairy Ring," a blue fairyland of forget-me-nots, larkspur, and borage; and "The Sliced Cake," a round, pink-and-white garden divided into wedges - the perfect setting for afternoon tea.
Percival's charming illustrations and instructions for fifteen fanciful children's gardens, all selected from her unpublished manuscript in the Huntington Library, are reproduced for the first time in this volume, designed in keeping with her own arts and crafts aesthetic. Described by Percival as "a potpourri of flowery facts and garden lore," The Children's Garden Book shows children that the pleasures of one's own garden may be achieved through planning, patience, dedication, and imagination.
In a place where ecstasy can cost you your life . . .
She's a demon-slayer who hungers for sensual pleasure-but fears it will always be denied her. Until Tayla Mancuso lands in a hospital run by demons in disguise, and the head doctor, Eidolon, makes her body burn with unslakable desire. But to prove her ultimate loyalty to her peers, she must betray the surgeon who saved her life.
Two lovers will dare to risk all.
Eidolon cannot resist this fiery, dangerous woman who fills him with both rage and passion. Not only is she his avowed enemy, but she could very well be the hunter who has been preying upon his people. Torn between his need for the truth and his quest to find his perfect mate before a horrific transformation claims him forever, Eidolon will dare the unthinkable-and let Tayla possess him, body and soul . . .

|Desert Hawk preparing to be launched.
The Lockheed Martin Desert Hawk is a miniature UAV used for base perimeter protection. It was designed by Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works for the United States Air Force Force Protection Airborne Surveillance System (FPASS) Program on a quick-reaction contract issued late in the winter of 2002, with the first system delivered in the early summer. It was designed quickly, because the program leveraged technology and design studies developed for the MicroStar MAVs. The program was run by Electronic Systems Center. In 2007, the U.S. Air Force FPASS office switched all of their UAV systems over to the RQ-11B Raven.
It is made mostly of plastic foam, resembling hobby grade model airplanes, and uses an electric motor driving a pusher propeller as a powerplant, making it very quiet. It is launched with a bungee cord, carries three small CCD cameras, has an endurance of about an hour. It flies mostly under autonomous control, with the operator keeping track of its activity with a laptop computer.
The Desert Hawk is also used by the 32nd Regiment Royal Artillery of the British Army as a tactical surveillance system, and has been used in Afghanistan and Mali.
Desert Hawk has since been replaced with the more capable and rugged Desert Hawk III.

When I stopped in New York on my way home, I headed uptown to see Thomas Hirschhorn’s Gramsci Monument, a public art work Forest Houses, a housing complex in the Bronx. The structure started to be built July 1, and the project, now housed, will continue until September 15. This is the fourth of a series of “monuments” Hirschhorn has done that relate to philosophers he loves, but it is not the traditional monument, i.e. some grandiose sculpture.
Rather, the Gramsci Monument is a series of plywood pavilions he built with the help of local residents he hired to create to community spaces. Hirschhorn created different areas for a stage, an arts and crafts room, a bar serving $2 cheeseburgers, a computer room, a radio station, a newspaper, and a Gramsci library and museum.
Antonio Gramsci was an Italian leftist philosopher imprisoned by the Fascist government. During his incarceration, he wrote the Prison Notebooks. Quotes from it can be seen scattered across the pavilion and also on signs from facing nearby buildings. In all this, Hirschhorn wants to redefine “monument.” What makes the project come to life is Hirschhorn’s continued presence at the Gramsci Monument for the duration of the project, working with staff, talking to visitors, and supporting the daily programming. A typical day could include art classes for kids and a philosophy lecture followed by happy hour. Meanwhile, residents can use the space for its intended purpose or just hang out.
So for example, I showed up one sunny afternoon and wandered around, reading the daily newspaper and staring at Gramsci’s prison hairbrush in the museum. As I wandered out toward the stage, I joined a group gathering for the beginning of the day’s talk. It turned out to be Glen Ligon presenting his work, aided by a thick color print out of images and some handfans he had made in case the day was hot. I sat with some people from DIA(sponsors of the work), Hirschhorn and the Forest Hills community president, who made the introductions, and local residents. Children and dogs also joined or ran past, creating an informal, fun atmosphere.
I especially like that Hirschhorn will continue to be present at the Monument until the end, when the plywood structure will be dismantled, the computers raffled off locally, and the ephemeral project will be gone. As a platform for Hirschhorn, it is certainly an opportunity for him to educate about Gramsci and the nature of art and to participate in a community. But interestingly he writes about the responsibility of interacting with the Other on a one-to-one level through presence and production, without any focus on outcome.
Unlike many participatory projects, I think his attitude takes control and responsibility more into his own hands even as it turns the goals away from anything practical or concrete. It resides in a belief in the transformative power of art, and the importance to himself of making a gesture of love like this regardless of its reception.

Tilapia with Potatoes and Kale
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces baby fingerling potatoes, halved
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 bag kale torn into pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 pounds tilapia fillets, patted dry
2 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves torn
Juice of 1 lemon
Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a large deep skillet with a lid over medium heat. Place the potatoes in the pan cut-side down. Add the garlic and cook until the potatoes are slightly golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the kale, season with salt and pepper, then add about 1/3 cup water. Cover and steam until the kale wilts, about 5 minutes.
Season the fish with salt and pepper; place on top of the greens in the pan and sprinkle with the oregano leaves. Cover and steam until the fish is just cooked through, about 5 more minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk the lemon juice in a bowl with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil; season with 1 teaspoon salt and plenty of pepper.
Transfer to plates. Distribute the greens, potatoes and pan juices around the fish. Drizzle with the lemon-pepper oil.

Two Amazon processing centers are located near Dallas and now employ 1500 Texans, but you have to wonder for how long. Amazon wants to process and deliver orders ever more rapidly, and automating its operation to the maximum extent possible is a big part of that business plan. CEO Jeff Bezos got a lot of attention a couple years backs when he announced on Sixty Minutes that he hoped to use drones to deliver Amazon merchandise. Last May, he told investors at the annual meeting that he planned to increase Kiva robots from 1400 to 10,000 by year’s end.
Below, Kiva robots operate from a computer system that tracks and moves everything in the warehouse. They scoot under mobile racks of merchandise and move needed items to packing stations run by humans.
The Amazon business plan is typical of the highly automated future speeding our way where far fewer humans will be needed to provide goods and services. One analyst estimates that one in three jobs will be done by smart machines by 2025, just 10 years from now. A 2013 Oxford University study (“The Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs to Computerisation?”) concluded that “about 47 percent of total US employment is at risk” to be replaced by smart machines.
Meanwhile, the President is busy encouraging unskilled illegal aliens to flood across America’s open borders. There are no jobs for extra hundreds of thousands now, and the future will be even more bleak for unskilled persons.
The correct number of immigrants and illegal aliens for America’s automated future is ZERO.
Robots invade N. Texas at Amazon distribution centers, WFAA ABC-TV, January 30, 2015
COPPELL – Inside a Coppell warehouse, an army of robots are zipping around, working at a speed no human can.
Amazon’s distribution centers are high-tech operations that are the heart and soul of online shopping.
“They’re pretty exciting,” said Amazon Operations Regional Director Dan Seidel.
“Exciting,” since they sift through nearly 60 football fields worth of customer orders.
“This robot behind me weighs six tons and it has the ability to lift 1,600 pounds of product at one given time,” Seidel said.
It automatically recognizes when a palette needs to be loaded, lifted, and stored. And it makes sense for the country’s largest robotic arm to be here, where everything is bigger.
“We love being here in Texas,” Seidel said.
North Texas now houses two of Amazon’s 10 fulfillment centers outfitted with this cutting-edge technology. Haslet and Coppell are eager to reap the economic benefits.
“I want to, again, continue to welcome you,” said Coppell Mayor Karen Hunt.
Hunt welcomes the big business, as do other local lawmakers.
“You’re creating jobs for the community, and that’s very important,” she said.
More than 1,500 Texans are now full-time Amazonians, working alongside the robots.
“[We're] Very happy to employ local individuals to handle our peaks and valleys of customers demand,” Seidel said.
And the demand keeps growing for a little bit of everything.
“My officer manager – who was also my bodyman during Ebola – tells me the last thing that he got on Amazon Prime was the ‘Outbreak’ movie about Ebola,” Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins told the crowd.
All laughter aside, what’s happening under this roof makes it convenient for us to spend more time under ours.
“You’re doing a lot to save people time,” Jenkins said. “Keep people at their house with their family.”

Cars that talk to one another and drive themselves may arrive on U.S. highways sooner than you think as the Obama administration launches an effort to expedite their progress.
“We don’t want to be part of the problem of integrating this technology into the marketplace,” Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said Tuesday. “We want to be part of the solution.”
Foxx plans to reveal the administration’s strategy Wednesday during a speech in Silicon Valley. Though the three initiatives he’s taking sound modest, they may be far-reaching in influence when it comes to putting computer-connected autonomous vehicles on the road.
Foxx plans to speed up the normally ponderous federal rulemaking process, move more quickly to resolve a simmering fight over who gets to use critical bandwidth and remove the array of federal obstacles traditionally faced by innovative technology.
“We want to ensure that industry sees DOT as an agency that is not only working to set the bar for safety in the marketplace but is leading in technologies that can play a role in enhancing safety,” Foxx said.
The administration push is recognition of a fact that is largely lost on many Americans: though it will dawn gradually, the era of the autonomous car is upon them. The first hands-free cars are projected to be available within months, and General Motors says it plans to roll out models next year. Initially the vehicles will be used in limited highway situations, rather than plying city streets.
Though there still are plenty of people who say they won’t buy a partially or fully autonomous car, about half of those surveyed by the Boston Consulting Group last year said they are likely to invest in one.
Like any innovation in the automotive marketplace, the advent of cars that talk to each other (known as vehicle-to-vehicle or V2V) and fully autonomous cars will take years to unfold.
Foxx anticipated that the technology would be fully rolled out within 10 years and that it might be three decades before fully autonomous vehicles rule the roads.
The secretary and officials at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also showed a firm commitment to cementing the marriage of two closely related technologies: driverless vehicles and direct computer communication between cars on the road.
“V2V offers things that you just can’t get through on-vehicle sensors, through cameras and radar and lasers and so forth,” said a NHTSA official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly on the subject. “V2V sees around corners, it sees 15 cars ahead in traffic and across three or four lanes of traffic. It sees not only the car that is about to speed into the intersection, but whether the driver has applied the brake or not.”
About 33,000 people die in traffic crashes in the United States each year, and a NHTSA study found that 94 percent of those crashes involved some form of human error or miscalculation.
“If there’s an innovation out there that makes the roads safer, we want to embrace it and we want to make sure that it gets onto the highways as soon as it can be demonstrated that it makes the roads safer,” the NHTSA official said. “If we can interpret [federal] standards in such a way that will allow this innovation to go forward, if it makes the roads safer, we will find a way to do that.”
A critical concern that Foxx will begin to address with his planned announcement Wednesday is a battle over bandwidth. Fifteen years ago, anticipating that cars one day would be able to communicate with one another, the Federal Communications Commission set aside 75 megahertz of spectrum in the 5.9-gigahertz band for exclusive V2V use.
More recently, the demand for increased WiFi capacity has led to calls for sharing that dedicated bandwidth with other forms of communication.
“It is clear to me that we’ve got to protect the bandwidth,” Foxx said Tuesday. “The 5.9 band is critical to vehicle-to-vehicle technology.”
He said that if any corporation delivered a device to NHTSA that it said would not interfere with V2V communication, he would guarantee that claim would be fully tested within a year, rather than the two to three years that had been previously promised.
“We are saying to industry, you are looking for access to this spectrum, we are willing to test on an accelerated basis,” the NHTSA official said. “We want to be absolutely sure that it would not interfere with safety-critical vehicle applications. Right now the telecommunications companies that want access to the spectrum have not actually produced devices. We are happy to accelerate the testing, but we need the devices to test.”
Some of the technology that will morph into V2V or autonomous vehicle use already is available. Adaptive cruise control, which monitors the speed of a vehicle directly ahead, has been around since 2006. So has the ability of some cars to parallel park using cameras and sensors. Automatic emergency braking came around in 2008, and lane-departure warnings began appearing in cars last year.

BJP man Satpal’s wife shown door by U’khand CM Rawat
In a fast moving development since Congress complete ouster in recently concluded LS elections from Uttarakhand, state CM Harish Rawat on Monday sacked tourism minister Amrita Rawat from his cabinet of ministers and inducted independent MLA Dinesh Dhane into his cabinet ministry. This decision was taken when three time legislature Amrita, wife of former MP Satpal Maharaj was in Delhi and could not protest in her defence.
State cabinet minister Harak Singh Rawat alleged that he did not get cooperation during pre-poll campaigning from her and her two sons. She was made the scape-goat for his dismal performance from Pauri constituency. BJP candidate Maj. Gen. (ret.) Khanduri defeated Congress candidate Harak Singh Rawat by a huge margin of 1,84, 526 votes from Pauri constituency in recently held LS elections.
Earlier, her MP husband Satpal Maharaj quitted Congress and joined BJP on 21 March, in a much surprised mood and invited CM Rawat to begin sarcastic words against his arch rival.
In a press release, cabinet minister Amrita Rawat clarified her stand by written statement that she has not resigned from the cabinet post on her own, and CM Rawat should make it clear that on what bases he had dropped her name from the cabinet portfolio.
She added, he (Harish) got the hot seat by replacing former CM Vijay Bahuguna by making propaganda that chances of Congress winning even a single seat under his tenure as CM are grim. He assured high command of winning at least three seats under his leadership. Now, the picture is clear after the LS elections are over and who is to blame for the dismal performance of all Congress candidates from five constituencies. On moral ground, he should resign from his CM post and accept the responsibility for the ouster of Congress from the state.
She further said, ‘Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi talked of empowerment of women and participation of 50 percent of women at state and centre level politics. I am legislature thrice from Congress ticket, and this is the way to treat to woman worker of Congress party.’
A BJP leader opined, ‘The coming week can be a political catastrophe in Uttarakhand politics. When large ship sinks, everone becomes desperate to save his/her life. Aftermath of large-scale destruction in Uttarakhand, Modi was denied to meet disaster victims in Kedarnath citing lame execuses. But there was no objection for Yuvraj to go-ahead. Now, the time has changed, and Satpal Maharaj and Modi are in constant touch.’


For both space exploration and some services on Earth, various satellites must be sent to our planet’s orbit. However, these satellites sent into orbit cause space to build up around our planet. Chinese scientists have developed a technology that can detect these garbage successfully.
Scientists and astronomers have greatly increased their space activity over the past years. Companies have sent various tools, such as satellites, to provide various services to the orbit of our planet. However, these vehicles sent to the orbit of our planet also caused the creation of space waste around the Earth.
As a result of these half a century of space-related studies, these space trashes make our planet’s orbit dangerous to spacecraft. But Chinese scientists and researchers have found a way to more accurately detect these space litter scattered around our planet’s orbit. According to scientists, this method will help space vehicles to draw more secure routes.
Detecting space trash
Scientists have developed a system that can detect ever-increasing space litter. Although it is very difficult to detect small cosmic trash, laser scanning telescopes have greatly increased accuracy in detecting space trash.
In an article published in the Journal of Laser Applications, Tianming Ma of Liaoning Technical University stated that tan After increasing the accuracy of targeting of telescopes through neural networks, a space litter with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meters can be detected at a distance of 1,500 km kul.
The researchers also used this technology through two correction algorithms to accurately detect space litter. Ma said that controlling a certain section of space litter would make it easier for orbiting spacecraft to launch operations more safely.

The uneven distribution of global resources may apply as much to the realm of the intellect as to consumer goods, it seems. According to a report in the New Statesman this week, book clubs and reading circles in the United States are rapidly becoming breeding grounds for intellectual pretension and literary one-upmanship. Meanwhile, more than 875 million adults world-wide are functionally illiterate.
In this country as many as seven million adults can't read to the standard of an 11-year-old. And, according to a new survey conducted by the National Reading Campaign to mark this week's second annual Swap A Book Day, a quarter of British adults do not open a book from one year to the next.
Predictably, this is one area of endeavour where the boys out-perform the girls. More than half of men aged 16-24 failed to open any sort of book in the past year.
Less predictably, however, the survey found that when it came to choosing which book to read, the biggest influence is other people. Recommendations from friends, work colleagues and others help steer more than two-thirds of us to our choice of reading matter.
Although Swap A Book Day can't help the illiterate directly, it aims to foster a culture of literacy, particularly in the workplace, among those who can but don't read. "Given that social context is so important in reading, a day to promote swapping and discussing books makes perfect sense. Those who will benefit most are those who are not regular readers and who think that reading is not for them," says Genevieve Clarke, manager of the NRC.
The day functions through workplace initiatives which include encouraging book swap boxes where people can leave books or recommendations for titles they've enjoyed, the creation of simple libraries and reading groups, literary pub quizzes and even book dating to add a bit of romantic spice.
The NRC says it is building on the success of last year's Swap a Book Day which saw swap boxes set up everywhere from hospitals, shopping malls, offices and school staff rooms to call centres, museums, army guard rooms and Foreign Office libraries - both here and overseas. Radio presenters indulged in on-air book swapping and even famously terse London cabbies discussed books at their favourite cafes.
For all its high-minded intentions, the NRC is surprisingly pragmatic in its definition of what constitutes a book. Sue Williams, family learning tutor at Wigan and Leigh College, runs community outreach adult literacy schemes. Last year she organised Swap A Book Day at a local distribution firm that has a large, predominantly blue collar, work-force.
"It was a great success with hundreds, if not thousands of books swapped. But we can't afford to be too snooty about the material," she says.
"We didn't have any Dickens, but we did have lots of Joanna Trollope and even some Melvyn Bragg. We also got magazines and even comics. The point is to encourage people to read for pleasure, so there is no point in being too prescriptive.
"It's about creating role models and an atmosphere in which reading is seen as normal. That helps those who can't read as much as people who can but don't."

A software license generator is software that generates unique license keys which buyers can use to verify and authenticate their legal purchase. The purpose of the software license generator is to discourage pirating and protect the buyer.
A software license generator can be a software, web-based service, or programming code designed to generate license keys randomly. The purpose of these keys is to prefect software from being used illegally or, instead, pirated. Only users with the license to the given software can access and use the program or service that software developers and companies provide. Sometimes, the software license generator can provide additional tasks such as verification and management.
Types of software license generator
It is vital to differentiate between a software license and the license key. When an individual or a company purchases the software, they must pay for the desired licensing scheme suitable to their needs. The number of users, the company’s needs, and the software type are some factors that determine the kind of licenses issued. Equally, this keeps individual or company software safe from authorized use.
It is worth noting that there is a difference between a software license and a software license key. The former refers to a legally binding document with guidelines about the use and distribution of the software. The license key is a token that verifies that the user is the legitimate paying customer. The software license is what you purchase to acquire the software, but you need a license key to access the software entirely. Essentially, it generates language in a software license that stipulates how a given software can be legally used and includes the number of users.
Functions of a software license generator
|Providing licensing information||Software licensing platforms provide a mechanism that generates authentic software licenses reflecting the vendor’s stipulations regarding the rights that the customer and the vendor have.|
|Identfy legal user||The unique series of numbers and letters identify a legal user of the software application. In all cases, access to the key requires one to purchase the specific software.|
|Allowing access to software||One has to insert the software license-generated keys which may or may not require an internet connection. Even so, not all license schemes are 100 percent secure.|
The software license generator is what gives software or web service providers licenses that correctly determine who the legal users are. Without a license generator, they can’t make the desired profit from authentic buyers due to pirating
Why is licensing important?
Licenses hold individuals and businesses accountable for their behavior and activities after purchasing the software from a company.
What are examples of software licenses?
The single-user license entails a single user, and one computer, and the multi-user license allows you to install the program onto multiple computers to allow many users.

Missy Elliott took to VH1’s Hip Hop Honors stage last night celebrating ‘The 90s Game Changers,’ where she performed her 1999 single “She’s A Bitch.”
Dressed in an all-black latex ensemble in homage to the song’s original music video, directed by Hype Williams, Elliott was surrounded by masked, latex-clad dancers and a pool of water that aided some intense splash choreography.
The night was hosted by Girls Trip actor Regina Hall and celebrated the iconic people and moments of that memorable decade (as well as paying a special tribute to the victims of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma). In addition to Elliott, Remy Ma, Mariah Carey, Lil’ Kim and Ty Dolla $ign performed.
Here’s the original 1999 “She’s A Bitch” music video.
Missy Elliott is the cover star for Elle’s June ‘Women in Music’ issue, looking absolutely fly in Marc Jacobs’ Fall 17 hip-hop influenced collection.
It’s not the first time the iconic pair have collaborated: Elliott starred in Jacobs’ incredible Fall 16 campaign with Susan Sarandon, Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson.
Jacobs’ showed his excitement about the hip-hop legend donning his pieces for her big comeback cover:
Elliott hasn’t released a full album since 2005, though she released a new music video for the song “I’m Better” in January – and if her cover slot for Elle is any indication, our dreams might come true that a new mixtape could unexpectedly drop this summer.
Check out her latest vid below:
Interestingly enough, another musical majesty today announced her Elle UK cover – so, something to consider:
“Where they from?” hip-hop royalty Missy Elliott interrogates in her Pharrell-produced comeback single, “WTF,” calling out all the names that comfortably rose to fame in her absence. It’s a fair question to ask, coming from the woman who delivered iconic cuts like 2002’s “Work It” and 2005’s “Lose Control”—two tracks that helped unite the once disparate worlds of hip-hop and pop, making it easier for someone like Nicki Minaj to break into Top 40.
In a new interview with Billboard, Elliott fuels the blazing fire first sparked by “WTF” when rap contemporary Minaj is brought up in conversation:
When asked about Nicki Minaj, who is clearly influenced by Elliott, she mock-innocently replies, “Oh, she is?” (Speaking to her influence generally, she adds, “Unfortunately, breaking news, there is only one Missy.”)
Though this was a sly diss true to Misdemeanor’s signature nonchalance, Elliott has given praise to the emcee in past interviews, previously telling New York Magazine that “Nicki makes rapping fun again.” In Billboard, she also reflects on when she was coming up in the industry, acknowledging all the female MCs that were dominating the scene: Lil’ Kim, Lauryn Hill, Eve, Foxy Brown and Trina. “There’s room for so many, she said. “It’s important.” Watch “WTF (Where They From),” below:
Over Labor Day weekend, Missy Elliott made a surprise appearance at a Timbaland show in Miami, and in the midst of energetic performance of some of her biggest hits ("Get Ur Freak On," "Lose Control," etc.), she gave us a brief preview of two new tracks with Timbo, "Triple Threat" and "9th Inning." Well, now we have studio versions of those tracks, and there’s hopefully more to look forward to.
"Triple Threat," with its stammering beat and trance-inducing chorus, is catchy, and it’s nice to hear Timbaland and Missy Elliott back together again, but the song weighs a bit too heavily on Tim. Missy’s verses have a bit more power, but we definitely did a spittake when she referred to her and Tim as "the new Ike and Tina" — that goes in the Crazytown Memorial Vault of Troubling Musical/Romantic Partnership Metaphors. On the muscular "9th Inning," the stronger track of the two, the interplay feels more balanced. Either way, hopefully there’s more new music to come from the pair, and a release date of Missy’s long-awaited Block Party (or whatever it may be called now) can’t be far behind. Have a listen to both new tracks below.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Missy Elliott and her longtime collaborator/producer Timbaland would be releasing albums around the same time in June of 2012. That didn’t happen, much to our dismay, but Tim’s Shock Value III and a new album from Elliott are both expected to drop before year’s end, and hopefully, soon. After a Twitter announcement from Timbaland that Missy Elliott would drop two new tracks over Labor Day weekend, she took the stage with him at Fontainebleau’s BleauLive over the weekend for part of the set.
The Source posted the clip of Elliott performing two new songs, "Triple Threat" and "9th Inning," as well as a predictably ecstatic "Get Ur Freak On" and bouncing "Lose Control.’ The video isn’t top quality so the new material is tough to hear at times, but the beat is catchy and the crowd seems like they’re really into it. If she brings this kind of energy to all her new stuff, we are in for many good times ahead. Studio versions of the tracks are expected to hit the airwaves soon.
In addition to songs old and new, Elliott also took the opportunity to offer a prayer for Chris Lighty, a hip-hop industry icon who passed last week, and his family.
In case you haven’t heard by now, it sounds like Drake is going to serve as the executive producer of Aaliyah’s forthcoming posthumous album. Using previously unreleased Baby Girl vocals, Drizzy has quite the task ahead of him. He needs to do everything he can to honor the legacy of Aaliyah and create an album that’s worthy of being placed next to the stuff she put out before her untimely death in 2001.
But, that’s not all. He also needs to do it while many of Aaliyah’s biggest fans criticize the fact that Timbaland and Missy Elliott aren’t the executive producers on the project. After all, they were largely responsible for much of her success, so why weren’t they picked to produce her posthumous album? That’s what they’re both wondering—and what we’re sure many of you are wondering, too.
Old and new will be battling it out for command of audiences at this year’s Rock The Bells Festival, which announced a formidable lineup for dates in San Bernadino, Calif. (Aug. 18th and 19th), Mountain View, Calif. (Aug. 25th and 26th) and Holmdel, New Jersey (Sept. 1st and 2nd). Tickets go on presale Friday and general sale Saturday, May 19th.
Composer and member of the Wu-Tang Clan RZA and festival regular Supernatural share hosting duties while the likes of fellow veterans Nas, Ice Cube, E-40, Too $hort, Naughty By Nature, Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kane and Prodigy will top the bill. Relative newcomers performing at the festival include Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, A$AP Rocky, Mac Miller, 2 Chainz, Yelawolf and Tyga.
Among the most exciting acts are Missy Elliott, making her live-performance comeback following the release of her first album in seven years, Block Party, in June, along with her longtime musical sidekick Timbaland in a joint performance. Method Man and Redman will unite to perform Blackout in its entirety, not the first time the festival has seen well-established rappers perform their most iconic works (Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Nas’s Illmatic being among them).
All five original members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will perform together for the first time in nearly 20 years to perform their standout album, E. 1999 Eternal, as well as a tribute to the late Eazy-E. Well, the news of a Bone Thugs reunion is as good of a time as any to revisit Bone Pugz-N-Harmony’s classic rendition of "1st of Tha Month." Enjoy.
Music lovers yearning for good news about resurging late ’90s/early ’00s hip-hop and R&B performers, rejoice. This is your week. First, Brandy and Monica released "It All Belongs to Me," their first single together since 1998’s "The Boy Is Mine," and now Missy Elliott and Timbaland will be releasing albums at the same time in June of 2012. In the past, collaborations between the two have produced hip-hop gold, from "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" to "Get Ur Freak On." More recently, they united for "All Night Long," a track by ex-Disney teen pop star Demi Lovato.
Elliott’s album, Block Party, is her first since 2005’s The Cookbook. An earlier version was set for a 2008 release but was scrapped due to a few logistical problems, including tracks leaking on the Internet. Tim’s last effort, a 2009 follow-up to smash collaboration-heavy album Shock Value, was met with mixed reviews.
Timbaland told MTV he and Elliott are working on their first music videos from their respective albums shot at the same time. As he said in the interview, "I just don’t want to move too ahead of her and she don’t want to move too ahead of me. So we’re both doing it at the same time."
Watch Timbaland talking about his and Missy E.’s albums in an MTV interview here:
● Having yet to scandalize with his tales of binge drinking and ungroomed nethers, Daniel Radcliffe says that he likes to "like somebody before I sleep with them," but that sex with Harry Potter groupies "has happened." And a million new Harry fanfics were born. [NYDN]
● Scarlett Johansson will co-star alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt in his untitled directorial debut about a "modern day Don Juan" and his quest to become less of "a selfish dick." [Deadline]
● Missy Elliott and her long time partner in crime, Timbaland, are set to release albums simultaneously this June. “I just don’t want to move too ahead of her and she don’t want to move too ahead of me,” explains Timbo. “We want to do it as a movement and spontaneously.” [MTV]
● "The enormity of their stupidity is overwhelming," says the dear Werner Herzog of chickens. And what more? We’re listening… [Videogum]
● Studies show that "patriotic movies that promote conservative values and do not denigrate Christianity" (Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, We Bought a Zoo) make more money than their "Liberal" counterparts (We Need to Talk About Kevin,Bad Teacher, and Happy Feet Two). [THR]
● "I mean, to me it was real," says Kris Humphries still, being careful to note that, "I can really only speak for myself in terms of that." [E!]

Beginning today, Ye Olde Football Blog begins a sporadic and random series on local spring games. Today: Norwalk.
Norwalk kicked off the first official spring football game ’round these parts and reporter Emery Filmer filed a report for Hearst CT Inc.
Coming off a glorious state semifinal appearance the season before, Norwalk, in Year 2 of the Sean Ireland regime, took a step backward as it adjusted to injuries and other misfortunes. They finished 2-8 on the field, 3-8 in the standings adjusted for the Westhill forfeits.
We’ll step aside for a moment and let Emery give you the story on Norwalk following its green/white game.
For those of you on the go, here are the essentials:
- The Bears sound pretty high on QB Jeremy Linton. He’s tabbed as an “athletic” quarterback who will be counted on to make plays with his feet as well as his arm. The junior, who was fourth-string when 2012 began, started the last few games of the year and was 1-2 as a starter, beating Harding, losing to Ludlowe in OT followed by the 29-12 Testa Bowl loss to McMahon.
- The Bears are looking to replace 10 seniors. But Ireland says they have experience returning.
- Other key players: running backs Clifford Joseph and Harrison Hefferan; linemen Tom LaRosa (5-10, 265), Evan Adams (6-5, 280), Darius Barrett (5-9, 170); Jacques Alexis (5-9, 270) and Aiden Whelan (5-8, 195).
- Not mentioned in the story is DL Corey Barrett, a soon-to-be senior who’s easily one of their best players.
“Last year left a sour taste in our mouths Hopefully we can turn it around. Linton will be a key for us. You can’t teach the things he does.”
The Bears schedule is favorable, all things considered. They play Westhill, Danbury, Harding and Trumbull before running into Greeniwch. But they follow with Ludlowe and Central. Five of those first seven games are at home. If they emerge from that stretched relatively unscathed, they’ll be ready for a rough road finale that includes games at Ridgefield, at Staples and at McMahon.


Raleigh, NC - From the North Carolina Department of Transportation:
RALEIGH, NC - State Transportation Secretary Gene Conti announced Tuesday that two additional trains providing mid-day service between Raleigh and Charlotte will begin on June 5, increasing the state-sponsored passenger rail service to six trains operating daily between the state's two largest cities.
"As our population continues to grow, we must provide people with travel alternatives," said Conti. "Train travel also provides environmental and energy benefits through reduced congestion and improved air quality."
Currently, the state sponsors four trains daily, the Piedmont and Carolinian, as North Carolina's Amtrak. Each train makes a morning and evening run between Raleigh and Charlotte, a trip that is auto competitive at 3 hours and 7 minutes, including intermediate stops at Cary, Durham, Burlington, Greensboro, High Point, Salisbury and Kannapolis.
The new service will add two additional trains in the mid-day giving business travelers, families and college students more options to travel via rail.

EFCC files corruption charges against CCT chairman, Umar
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed a two-count charge of corruption against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Umar.
The charge filed at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on January 25, accuses Umar of asking for and receiving bribes in the discharge of his official duties.
The EFCC, in the first count, accused the CCT chairman of asking for the sum of N10million from one Rasheed Owolabi Taiwo, sometime in 2012, in order to show the said Taiwo favour in a charge pending against him.
Umar, in the second count, is charged with receiving the sum of N1.8million from the said Taiwo. The money was allegedly paid through Umar’s personal assistant, Alhaji Gambo Abdullahi.
The offences were allegedly committed in the discharge of Umar’s official duties and are contrary to Section 12(1) subsection (a) and (b) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2003.
Umar, on September 18, 2015, made history by becoming the first Judge in the country to issue an arrest warrant against a sitting senate president.

Milford Police investigate attempted carjacking, assault in Kroger parking lot
An assault and attempted carjacking outside the Milford Kroger store Wednesday afternoon is under investigation by Milford police.
The incident was reported about 12:30 p.m at the store, 670 Highland Avenue. The male suspect is alleged to have stolen a car from another Detroit-area community late Tuesday and made his way to Milford.
Once the stolen car was no longer driveable, police said the man then attempted to take a car from an elderly woman at Kroger. A bystander who was in the parking lot interfered with the attempted carjacking/assault while 9-1-1 was being called.
"Officers arrived on scene within extreme short order. As the suspect had a pair of scissors, it was apparent he was attempting a suicide by cop. There was a Taser deployment and a very short struggle afterward," Milford Police Chief Thomas Lindberg said.
Police are continuing to investigate the incident, as Lindberg noted the suspect had no connection or ties to Milford. Additional information won't be available until charges are filed and the suspect is arraigned, he said.
Lindberg added that each of his officers "did an outstanding job," in particular noting the on-scene leadership of Lt. Scott Tarasiewicz.
"This incident could have turned out much different and, from what I know at this point in the investigation, (a shooting) could have potentially been justified," Lindberg said. "Again, this is more of a mental health issue and there are indications this suspect has attempted this type of stunt multiple times. This person is not from Milford and has never been associated with any facility in Milford. Dumb luck brought him to us."
Within one hour of the incident at Kroger, Lindberg said officers were dispatched to two more separate mental health-related 9-1-1 calls, both in Milford village. One person ended up being transported and committed, while the other was handled through family and medical intervention.
