Bungling thieves caught arguing over haul in bizarre garden incident
By Mark Mackay
September 21 2016, 2.57pm
Feuding partners in crime Thomas Cummings and John Strickland were jailed for 12 months and 55 weeks respectively at Perth Sheriff Court after admitting to a bungled housebreaking.
A pair of bungling housebreakers gave the game away as they squabbled loudly over their ill-gotten gains.
Thomas Cummings and John Strickland were so addled through alcohol and drug abuse that they struggled to carry their loot away from a home in Perth's Hermitage Drive.
As they stumbled through back gardens, a high value computer was dropped and smashed, with Strickland leaving his blood smeared across the keyboard.
The owners of the house they broke into watched them noisily fall out from their bedroom window and called the police.
Neighbours were also woken by the argument and looked on in bemusement as they continued to shout abuse at each other.
Police officers were swiftly on their trail and CCTV footage of the pair was also captured as they exited gardens onto the main road.
Were more evidence needed, the 26-year-old Strickland also dropped and left behind his mobile phone at the crime scene.
The two accused – no strangers to the wrong side of the law – were later transported to police headquarters in Perth where they initially denied stealing.
Any pretence at innocence was swiftly jettisoned, however, as they began to argue loudly and in incriminating terms between cells.
As officers listened, Strickland bellowed at his accomplice "You're the f***ing one who went into the house".
His accomplice, 30, replied at similar volume, shouting back "Shut up. You're the one who cut your hand and left your blood behind".
Cummings – a trainee chef at posh Knock Castle – was jailed for 12 months after admitting stealing a bag and £160 in cash from the house on February 23 this year.
He was described as a prisoner at HMP Perth, but the court was told he hailed from Crieff – as does Strickland, of the town's Cornton Place, who was jailed for 55 weeks after admitting stealing a computer.
Perth Sheriff Court was told the bungling burglary had been an opportunistic crime, with Cummings popping behind a hedge to relieve himself – only to spot an insecure patio door.
Judgement clouded by heroin and alcohol abuse, he had entered the home to remove a number of items.
He said his inebriated state left him with little recollection of the theft.
Strickland, the court heard, had a history of offending in the Stirling and had moved to Perthshire to mend his ways.
Instead he plunged into abuse of alcohol and a multitude of different drugs and, to compound his problems, had fallen in with Cummings, who had a long history of addiction and thievery.
Sheriff William Wood said he accepted that each man had taken steps to turn their lives around – with Cummings securing a job for the first time in years – but said custody was still appropriate.

Berlin: Imagine a City
Why are we drawn to certain cities? Perhaps because of a story read in childhood. Or a chance teenage meeting. Or simply because the place touches us, embodying in its tribes, towers and history an aspect of our understanding of what it means to be human. Paris is about romantic love. Lourdes equates with devotion. New York means energy. London is forever trendy.
Berlin is all about volatility. Its identity is based not on stability but on change. No other city has repeatedly been so powerful, and fallen so low. No other capital has been so hated, so feared, so loved. Today Berlin has emerged from centuries of conflict and decades of heinous division to be Europe's most extraordinary, transformed, creative capital.
Over the last five years I've been writing a history of this city, as many of you know. In the coming days Berlin: Imagine a City will be published in the UK, Canada, the Netherlands and Poland. The US edition comes out in November on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Wall. In the book I tell Berlin's story through portraits of two dozen Berliners, from the wild medieval balladeer whose suffering might explain the Nazi's rise to power to an ambitious prostitute who refashioned herself as a royal princess, from a Scottish mercenary who fought in the Thirty Years War to the fearful Communist Party functionary who helped to build the Wall. Alongside them are Dietrich and Goebbels, Riefenstahl and Speer, Bowie and not a few Berghain's techno DJs. They are among the 24 people who made Berlin, as Berlin made them.
Some of you may have seen my FT Weekend piece on David Bowie's Berlin or my Top 10 Berliners in Literature in the Guardian. For those of you in the UK, I'll be talking about the book on Radio 4's Saturday Live!, at the Bath, Hay and Edinburgh Book Festivals, and in London at the Goethe Institut at a special 'Imagining Berlin' evening event with the glorious Rosie Goldsmith on Monday April 28th. You can keep up with latest news via Facebook, Twitter or my new-and-improved website.
Plus — fanfare of trumpets – the Washington Post has chosen it as a Book of the Year, its reviewer Gerard De Groot writing, "Berlin is the most extraordinary work of history I've ever read. To call it history is, in fact, reductive. There's some historical analysis, quite a lot of fiction, some philosophizing, lashings of wit and a fair dose of invective. It's a work of imagination, reflection, reverence, perplexity and criticism that reveals as much about the author's precocious mind as it does about the city he adores. The book's most profound feature, however, is its stunningly beautiful writing – phrases of transcendent rhythm force the reader to reverse and read again."
I hope to see you at one of the events, or online, or simply to hear from you. As ever, do feel free to email me. I hope you'll join me on a journey to Berlin.

Q: SSRS Parent Column Background Color same as Details Row I have a report with one parent group and an expandable details group. My issue is that I would like the parent cell to have the same background color as that of the details row if any of the details rows has color.
For example:
If I have a parent group of PART ID and details rows that contain columns for location and qty. If any of the qtys are below zero then I have a background color expression to set the qty field for that row to a background color of RED. I need the parent PART ID to also be red if any of the details rows are red.
I can't seem to find a solution to this issue on the web and everything I search only seems to return results about background colors for alternating columns which is not at all what I need. Your assistance is appreciated

A: There's not any kind of function for this. You would need logic based on how your data and report work. Maybe something like:
=IIF(SUM(IIF(FIELDS!QTY.VALUE < 0, 1, 0)) > 0, "RED", "WHITE")

If any of the QTYs are less than 0, then Red ELSE White.

Last Thursday Leighton got braces. 1st set of braces are paid for in full….only 4 more sets to go for the other kids. Unless of course they need a second round….and then maybe I've still got 9 more sets to go….maybe I'll luck out and someone won't need them…..maybe. Anyway before all that makes me cry, lets look at the bright side…1st set is on.
It's actually just the top. The bottoms aren't ready yet and she actually gave Leighton the option, he could either get a bar cemented to the back of them to hold them in place, or if he was super responsible wear a retainer every night. Ummmm since he's my child and acts just like me (sometimes its scary how much actually) he chose to go the responsible route. He's also memorized the list of what he can and cannot eat and will let you know what falls in which category. His favorite thing is that he got to choose the color of his bands…he went with Bronco colors of course and even remembered that on Thursdays at the orthodontist office they have Bronco day and he would get a treat if he wore Bronco clothes….which he did. And so my first photo of him with his braces is a bit after the fact because he was busy eating his Bronco cookie as we walked out of the office.
And so here we go….lets make some room and move some teeth.

This Friday, the UCSD Men's Rugby had their first home game against Point Loma Nazerene University. With PLNU as their next challenger, the Tritons needed a win to make sure that they have a spot winning in the league as they still have a shot in the standings. After the first kickoff and a minor upset, PLNU scored on the Tritons and the Tritons immediately woke up. After consecutive drives through the PLNU defense, the Tritons were able to slip Ryan Morgan through to score and Ryan Callahan subsequently kicked the conversion to take the lead over PLNU. After catching another kickoff and fighting through, George McMahon was able to put down another try to pat the lead over PLNU, with Ryan Callahan converting another kick. The Tritons were on a roll and Ryan kicked another ball through the posts to further pat the lead for the Tritons. Padraig Madden was able to score another for the Tritons shortly after. Although the Tritons scored a lot, the game was not over since PLNU was able to score another try at the end of the half.
The second half of the game was much more back and forth with PLNU on the offensive and the Tritons trying to recover in the second half. The lead was still large, but the game was still close since PLNU was the first scorer in the half, bringing them up to 3 tries. The Tritons knew that they needed to score because there was still a lot of time in the game for a reverse sweep. The Tritons had Sean Martinez slip through the defense to secure the game in the second half for the Tritons. Ryan was able to convert the last kick to make the game finish at a hefty lead with the Tritons winning at 29-15.

Periodically since at least the late 19th century, discoveries and excavations have been made of prehistoric and historic sites in Palm Beach County. The major sites have revealed evidence of occupation from the Archaic and Glades periods (500 BC to AD 1763), but mostly from about AD 750-1500.

Loxahatchee River Complex: about six miles west of Jupiter Inlet; earthworks, now destroyed, and a sand mound; Jupiter Inlet Complex: a large shell mound on south side on inlet, partly under the 1898 DuBois house, excavated from 1884 to 1992; and on north side of inlet, a burial mound and several shell mounds at U.S. Coast Guard Station, excavated in 1885.
Riverbend Park: Indiantown Road, west Jupiter; land purchased in 1978 by Palm Beach County for a park; in 1995 archaeologists identified 61 historic, archaeological, and architectural sites reaching back to the Paleo-Indian period.

Riviera Complex includes two sites in Palm Beach dating to AD 750, and one site on the mainland in Riviera Beach, which Ryan Wheeler believed to be the main Jeaga village. In 1901 Charles N. Newcomb purchased the Riviera Hotel, built on a shell mound, and adjacent land to the west that consisted of mostly mounds. Newcomb, a scientist, created a map of the site as it looked with the streets of Riviera Beach in 1914, the original of which is at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History. The long, narrow "Big Mound" reached from Lake Worth to West Park Drive, about five city blocks. When botanist John K. Small photographed the site in 1920, he noted it was "fast disappearing." Although the Palm Beach Archaeological Society was able to partially excavate it in the late 1970s, it had been greatly changed during the urban expansion of the 1950s and '60s.
Guest Mound Complex: one of several sites originally on the barrier island of Palm Beach; nothing remains of the middens and mounds, including a large burial mound where the Graham-Eckes School was expanded.
Patrician: on the ocean, South Palm Beach; major village complex, including burial mound, dating to 500 BC to AD 1763; excavated about 1980 before removal for construction of a condominium. A sand mound at the north end of nearby Hypoluxo Island, also gone, may have been related; resident Gilbert L. Voss wrote in 1949 of having excavated this site. Both sites were described by J. Francis LeBaron for the Smithsonian Institution's Annual Report of 1882.

Belle Glade: in the Okeechobee Basin, near the southeast shore of Lake Okeechobee, about 1.5 miles west of Belle Glade; once on the Democrat River, which dried up as a result of drainage of the Everglades, canal construction, and development; in the 1930s, a burial mound and a habitation mound were excavated, dating to 1000 BC to AD 1600. Artifacts collected—including woodcarvings of animals and humans and three plaques—are at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, which managed the excavations.
Big Mound City and Big Gopher: ten miles east of Canal Point, in the J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area. Ten miles east of Canal Point, these two sites have been protected since 1947 by their location in the J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area. Big Gopher is one of the best-preserved earthwork sites in the Lake Okeechobee Basin and consists of linear ridges, crescents, mounds, and middens.

archaeological site in the State of Florida.
Big Mound City is the only site from the Belle Glade culture on the National Register of Historic Places, added in 1973 as an example of a Calusa ceremonial complex. Its occupation is dated from as early as 500 BC until about AD 1650. Covering 143 acres, Big Mound City consists of at least 23 mounds, including two or more burial mounds, where the Everglades meets the higher pinewood flats. The intricate geometric arrangements of earthworks were made of yellow and white sand, except for a platform that contained extensive midden remains. Some of the platforms probably served to raise temples and residences above frequent flooding.
Boynton Cave: subterranean caves in a limestone beach outcrop; John Goggin reported in the 1940s or '50s that in a cave, "on the roof of the main chamber is a somewhat damaged and faded painting. It is a simple motif done in red paint." A sketch supposedly done by Goggin has never been found. Some of the caves were sealed in the 1960s, and at least one since 2000, after a house built above it collapsed.

Boynton Mound Complex: in a cypress swamp bordering Arthur Marshall National Wildlife Refuge, thought originally to be on raised land where sandy flatlands met marshland; burial and sand mounds, midden, and earthworks; excavated in 1970s, when it was dated to as early as AD 750 and as late as 1763.
Boca Raton Inlet Complex: three shell and black earth middens and a burial mound; partially excavated about 1970 before development; dated AD 750-1763.
Spanish River Complex: Highland Beach/Boca Raton; one of the few large villages east of Lake Worth and one of the largest native sites in southern Florida; includes burial mound and Barnhill Mound; partially excavated in 1950s and '70s; nearby Rio Seco (Spanish River) disappeared during 20th century drainage work.
Mound in Boca Raton, 1920s. Courtesy HSPBC.
In 1953 promoter Esmond Gerrard Barnhill bought 24 acres in Boca Raton, north of Yamato Road and east of U.S. Highway One. The site contained a 20-foot-high burial mound, which Barnhill excavated with archaeologist Ripley P. Bullen of the Florida State Museum and his wife, Adelaide. They uncovered 72 bodies, probably Tequesta Indians, dating between AD 700 to 1300.
Barnhill turned the burial ground into "Ancient America," where tourists could view the carefully arranged remains through glass partitions, in a tunnel through the mound. The attraction, also called "Burial City," operated from 1954 to 1958. The mound is still visible in a greenspace within the Boca Marina and Yacht Club.

There are no variants.
Because there is no virus. SARS-CoV-2 doesn't exist. I've spent the past year and a half proving that. [0]
But fantasies do exist. So do covert ops with intentions to deceive.
Thus, the "scientific world" is agog over the new South African variant, named B11529 (aka Omicron, Botswana). Woo. The ghost is coming out of the closet. Beware. COVID cases are rising…
"We don't know whether the vaccine will be effective in the face of the new variant. New lockdowns may be necessary. Travel restrictions are coming. Batten down the hatches."
I mean, really.
As you know, for the past few months stories in the press have been claiming the vaccine-conferred immunity is sinking like a stone. This story is absurd because, again, there is no virus. So there was no conferred immunity to begin with. But anyway, that's the story that's been circulating. So NOW…
"It turns out one major reason for the diminished effectiveness of the vaccine is…

Metro Milwaukee Innovation DataTool
Our Metro Milwaukee Innovation DataTool tracks the region's performance over the last decade and in relation to peer metro areas nationally on 17 indicators tied to innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth. Below, we highlight several key findings from our 2022 DataTool update, including both longer-term and emerging areas of strength and weakness. We hope these findings help economic development leaders and the broader community understand how the region is progressing and set priorities for future advancement.
Strengths (longer-term)
Metro Milwaukee is competitive with its national peers on a number of economic indicators, including a few for which the region ranks near the top among the metro areas we track. As described below, one of the region's most notable longer-term strengths is its concentration of talent in key occupations associated with innovation.
Scientists and Engineers
Scientists and engineers help drive innovation through research and development activities. In 2021, metro Milwaukee had a higher concentration of scientists and engineers than all but two comparison metros included in our DataTool, even outpacing Austin, Texas – a national standout for economic growth.
Technology Talent
Metro Milwaukee also performs well on technology talent, ranking fourth among our 11 comparison metro areas and well above the national average in its concentration of technology workers. This indicator tracks those employed in 50 occupations identified as technology workers by CompTIA in its national Cyberstates 2021 report.
Strengths (recent progress)
Educational attainment in metro Milwaukee is slowly but steadily increasing. Perhaps most notably, the share of the region's adults (ages 25 and over) with bachelor's degrees or higher increased by 7.4 percentage points between 2011 and 2021, which outpaced more than half of our comparison metros. In 2021, 39.2% of metro Milwaukee adults had a bachelor's degree or higher, which was above the U.S. average.
Business Births and Deaths
The Census Bureau tracks business openings (births) and closures (deaths), which allows us to analyze net growth in the number of businesses over time. Metro Milwaukee stands out for the steady progress it has made on this indicator relative to our comparison metros, from having one of the lowest business birth-to-death ratios from 2010 to 2015, to being near the middle of the pack from 2016 to 2019, to ranking third of the 11 metros in 2020. Metro Milwaukee's birth-to-death ratio was also even with the U.S. average in 2020.
Despite metro Milwaukee's progress on this indicator relative to peer communities, it is important to note that business births and deaths have been about even for the last several years, leaving room for further improvement.
Weaknesses (longer-term)
On a number of other measures, metro Milwaukee trails a majority of its peers. These findings show areas where improvement is possible and may be needed for metro Milwaukee to compete nationally.
Venture Capital Funding
One long-standing weakness of the region is venture capital (VC) investing. VC investments typically support startup companies with strong potential for growth. While VC investing is highly concentrated in a small number of metro areas on the coasts, metro Milwaukee trails even most of its Midwestern peers and has been near the bottom on this indicator for many years.
On a per-capita basis, metro Milwaukee continued to attract less in venture capital (VC) investment in 2021 than most of the comparison metros. However, the region saw its greatest VC investment total ($53 million) in 2021 and moved up one spot in the rankings in per-capita investment from 10th of 11 in 2020 to 9th in 2021. Between 2019 and 2021, the average size of VC deals in metro Milwaukee ($3.8 million) also ranked 9th, which was an improvement from previous years.
Until recently, metro Milwaukee was competitive with its peers in its per-employee gross domestic product (GDP), which measures the value of all finished goods and services produced within an area. The region's productivity has slid, however, and it now ranks 10th among the 11 comparison metros on this indicator. Since 2010, metro Milwaukee's GDP has increased at a slower pace than in all 10 comparison metros and the nation.
Weaknesses (recent decline)
Metro Milwaukee is trending in the wrong direction on several indicators, including global exports. The value of the region's global exports per employee ($8,510) is lower than for many peer metros and the U.S. average, but the more troubling trend is the region's steady decline on this metric over the last decade.
Adjusted for inflation, the value of metro Milwaukee's global exports was 27.1% lower in 2020 than in 2010. Only three comparison metros saw the real value of their global exports decline faster than metro Milwaukee during that period.
Perhaps the primary goal of economic development efforts is to raise the incomes of area residents. While the median income of metro Milwaukee households has increased modestly over the last 10 years, it has grown at a slower pace than in all but two of our comparison metro areas. In 2019, metro Milwaukee's median household income was slightly above than the national average, whereas in 2021, it was slightly below.

College football odds, lines - Week 9: Money, Cash, & Joes
MC&J's record on the season essentially resets as after eight weeks of picks has yielded a 48-48-2 record against the spread.

Share All sharing options for: College football odds, lines - Week 9: Money, Cash, & Joes
Mizzou and Michael Sam look to stay perfect on the season
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports
Last week's 9-2 mark was just what the doctor ordered for MC&J. Hopefully the strong week is a sign of things to come for the season going forward. As they say, it's not how you start, it's how you finish. Now let's get to this week's picks before I can spew out anymore cliches.
Last Week ATS: 9-2 (4-2 National, 5-0 B1G)
Season ATS: 48-48-2 (22-21-1 National, 26-27-1 B1G)
National Games:
#10 Texas Tech vs. #17 Oklahoma (-7) - 3:30 PM EST - Fox
When Texas Tech hired Kliff Kingsbury I bet even they couldn't imagine that just seven games into his reign he would have Texas Tech undefeated and sitting 10th in the country. This is the first real test for Kingsbury as his team will head into Norman for their third road game in the last four games to square off with Bob Stoops and the Sooners. The Red Raiders have a pair of freshman quarterbacks that have led them to their undefeated record so far this season, but they haven't yet had to play in a hostile environment like Norman. Oklahoma's defense has been lights out against the pass this season, allowing opponents only 150 yards/game through the air. The Sooners spoil the undefeated season of a Texas Tech team I think might be just a little bit overrated.

#12 UCLA vs. #2 Oregon (-23) - 7:00 PM EST - ESPN
Just how ridiculous is Oregon this year? They are 23-point favorites against the 12th ranked team in the AP poll whose only loss on the season came last week against a very good Stanford team. Last week saw Oregon fail to cover for the first time in seven contests this season. The Ducks were a few points away from covering against Washington State, but Wazzu peed in Nick Allioti's punchbowl and scored a couple late touchdowns as they attempted roughly 941 passes in the game. The scary thing is that for as good as Oregon has been so far, they've played without De'Anthony Thomas for the last four games. Black Mamba should be back in action for the Ducks on Saturday night. Before putting up only 10 points against Stanford last week, UCLA had scored at least 34 points in their first five games, but it's hard to see them keeping pace with the Ducks. Had this been a normal team favored by this many over UCLA it'd be a no-brainer to go with the Bruins, but the Ducks are certainly not normal. A week after losing on the road at Stanford, things could get ugly pretty quick for the Bruins at Autzen.

#20 South Carolina vs. #5 Missouri (-3) - 7:00 PM EST - ESPN2
So heading into the season we all knew that after seven games Missouri would be undefeated, ranked fifth in the country, and have wins over Georgia and Florida on their way to a two-game lead in the SEC East, right? RIGHT?? Both teams will come into this game missing their starting quarterbacks due to injury. Connor Shaw injured his knee last week against Tennessee, which means Dylan Thompson will get the nod. Maty Mauk will start his second game in a row for the Tigers after James Franklin was hurt in the Georgia game. A defensive lineman comes into this matchup leading the SEC in sacks and tackles for loss, but it isn't the one that you might expect. Missouri's Michael Sam is the one that has accumulated those stats while highly touted South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney only has two sacks on the season. Getting to go after a redshirt freshman could be just what Clowney needs, but I think that the Gamecocks playing their third road game in a row will prove to be too much.

#8 Stanford (-4) vs. Oregon State - 10:30 PM EST - ESPN
If Oregon State hadn't lost to Eastern Washington in their first game of the season we might be talking about a matchup of two top-10 team in Corvallis this week. After losing their season opener, Oregon State has rode Sean Mannion's arm to six straight victories. So far this season Mannion has passed for nearly 3,000 yards and 29 touchdowns. The receiver that has been the main recipient of Mannion's target has been Brandin Cooks, who has accumulated 1,176 yards and 12 touchdowns so far this season. After beating UCLA last week in Palo Alto and hosting Oregon on November 7th, this is a dangerous sandwich game for Stanford. The home underdog is tempting in this matchup, but the short line makes it a little easier to take the Cardinal in this matchup. Stanford responded strong to the Utah loss and I can see the Shayne Skov led defense holding Mannion and Cooks well below their season averages. This is a step up in competition for the Beavers compared to who they played so far this season, and while they'll play Stanford tough I just see them coming up short in this one.

#15 Fresno State (-9) vs. San Diego State - 10:30 PM EST - ESPN2
I was originally thinking of making the Clemson/Maryland game the fifth pick of the national slate this week, but I figured if I started to have to write about Maryland I would end up with a broken leg, and I'm pretty fond of walking. Instead, I figured that a matchup of a potential BCS-buster and a team that Ohio State played the second week of the season would be a sneaky good game to include. The Aztecs have rebounded nicely after losing their first three games, including their season opener to Eastern Illinois. After we saw Adam Dingwell replaced early in SDSU's game in Columbus, the Aztecs seemed to have found something with Quinn Kaehler behind center. Freshman Donnel Pumphrey has rushed for over 100 yards the last three games, becoming the first Aztec to do that since Marshall Faulk back in 1991. Pumphrey and Adam Muema have formed a productive combo in the backfield for San Diego State. Fresno State has Derek Carr leading their offense, and the last time he played San Diego State he passed for 536 yards. I just think this number is too big for two teams that don't really have much to speak of on defense. I think this is a game decided in the last few minutes, but Fresno State keeps their perfect season alive.

B1G Games:
#25 Nebraska (-11) vs. Minnesota - 12:00 PM EST - ESPN
This matchup of Legends Division foes will feature two teams that have had a great deal of success running the football this season. Nebraska comes into this contest with the nation's 10th best rushing attack at 284 yards/game while Minnesota comes in at 28th with 210 yards/game. Both teams are dealing with health issues at quarterback, as Taylor Martinez is questionable for Nebraska while Mitch Leidner is dealing with an illness for Minnesota and it's unclear if he or Philip Nelson will start. Nebraska has outscored Minnesota 79-28 the last two seasons and I don't see Minnesota cutting into the difference too much this year. Nebraska at least possess a little ability to pass the football if the Golden Gophers have some success stopping the rushing attack of Nebraska, while Minnesota doesn't have much of a passing game to speak of. Minnesota could be in for a letdown this week after a win on the road against Northwestern. The Cornhuskers win by over two touchdowns.
Nebraska 37 Minnesota 20
Northwestern vs. Iowa (-4) - 12:00 PM EST - Big Ten Network
How quickly the season has unraveled on the Wildcats in just three short weeks. A hard-fought loss against the Buckeyes in Evanston led to a mashing in Madison and a loss last week to Minnesota where they didn't have the services of Venric Mark and Kain Colter. Much like Northwestern, Iowa just suffered a close loss to the Buckeyes in which they led the fourth-ranked team in the country after 30 minutes. The good news for Northwestern is that they will at least get Colter back from injury, but the same can't be said for Mark. Northwestern has had some issues on defense this year and I can see Mark Weisman finding some holes on the ground and opening this up for Jake Rudock to capitalize on some play-action passes. The Northwestern offense has been struggling lately and might find it hard to snap out of it against a Iowa defense is giving up less than 320 yards/game on defense.

Michigan State (-10) vs. Illinois - 3:30 PM EST - ABC/ESPN2
The opening to Illinois' B1G season has been less than kind, suffering blowout losses to Nebraska and Wisconsin in their first two conference games. While it hasn't been pretty, Michigan State is perfect through their first three B1G games, navigating past Iowa, Indiana, and Purdue. The Spartans have only scored more than 28 points in two games this season, but they should be able to exploit a porous Illinois defense. Connor Cook has been decent for the Spartans this year, but with a defense like Michigan State has he doesn't have to be spectacular in most contests. While anytime you are entertaining the idea of backing Michigan State as a double-digit favorite is dangerous, this would be the week to take them in that spot. Running back Jeremy Langford makes it three straight games with over 100 yards rushing as Michigan State stymies the struggling Illinois offense.
Michigan State 27 Illinois 13
Penn State vs. #4 Ohio State (-14.5) - 8:00 PM EST - ABC
Penn State comes into this as the third straight team that has been able to enjoy a bye week the week before playing Ohio State. When the Nittany Lions last played they came back from the brink multiple times to down Michigan in four overtimes. The combination of quarterback Christian Hackenberg to Allen Robinson has paid massive dividends this season, and the Nittany Lions will be hoping to exploit the shaky Buckeye defense with it on Saturday night. Hackenberg has lived up to the hype so far in his freshman season, but he hasn't yet had to deal with a road crowd of 100,000+ under the lights quite yet. The defense for Penn State has been had some Jekyll & Hyde moments this year. While Penn State is only allowing 335 yards/game, they have allowed 34, 44, and 40 points to UCF, Indiana, and Michigan, respectively.
The big question for the Buckeyes coming in is what is wrong with this defense? More specifically what is wrong with the pass defense? The loss of Christian Bryant seems to hit even harder every week, and last week wasn't helped with the early targeting loss of Bradley Roby. The secondary has to be getting sick of hearing all the criticism, and what better time to gain some confidence than by pick-sixing a Penn State pass or two? I have nothing more than gut instinct to go off on this, but I think we see a strong performance from the secondary this week. I'm not too worried about the Buckeye offense being able to find success about the Penn State defense. I think Iowa's defense is little bit better than Penn State's and when the Buckeye offense actually had the football they were able to do their thing.
While it was great to see Penn State take down the Wolverines a few weeks ago, we know that Michigan has issues this year. The Buckeyes have had a habit lately of falling behind early and relying on second half comebacks to earn victories. I don't think we see that this week. The Buckeyes come out strong and jump out to the early lead and don't look back. Maybe the Buckeyes actually sitting decisively behind Alabama, Oregon, and Florida State in the BCS will actually take some pressure off. Instead of worrying about "style points" Urban can tell his troops to just go out there and win. That's all they can do, and if a BCSNCG berth is meant to be, some losses will shake out ahead of the Buckeyes to make it happen.

Squirrel Sunday. | Through rose tinted glasses.
'From tiny acorns mighty oak trees grow' …. but not if the squirrels get there first!
Having spent a lot of time at home this year due to a bad back and neck I was rather pleased to find myself out walking, if a little carefully, on an autumn Sunday afternoon squirrel hunt with my camera swinging at my side. Deciding to leave my walking companion Jess at home for fear that she would chase them away or even worse possibly catch one, I rather enjoyed spending some time watching these little guys go about their business and boy were they busy!!
I'm sure there are lots of varying opinions on the squirrel but from a distance they are rather cute and really interesting to watch as they dart back and forth searching, finding, burying, eating and dodging those annoying four-legged monsters. Although I implied earlier that they eat all the acorns they do apparently fail to recover about 74% of the nuts they bury thus aiding the regeneration and dispersal of Oak trees.
After watching and snapping for quite a while It actually began to feel like they were posing for the camera and at times I was beginning to imagine one leaping from a tree onto my head, at that point I felt like id squirreled away enough photos and began to make my way home feeling rather pleased with myself for capturing the photos above while mum was keeping a watchful eye on me.
It was good to be out In the fresh air, taking in the beauty that is so often just around the corner every day, yet so often missed.
They are adorable until they get in your attic, and chew through wiring! They also sound like they are moving furniture around, and are bad neighbors…arguing all hours of the night!
Guess they are adorable at a comfortable distance.
I love the last photo – very cute.

Semiconductor-based photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis have received considerable attention as alternative approaches for solar energy harvesting and storage. The photocatalytic or photoelectrocatalytic performance of a semiconductor is closely related to the design of the semiconductor at the nanoscale. Among various nanostructures, one-dimensional (1D) nanostructured photocatalysts and photoelectrodes have attracted increasing interest owing to their unique optical, structural, and electronic advantages. In this article, a comprehensive review of the current research efforts towards the development of 1D semiconductor nanomaterials for heterogeneous photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis is provided and, in particular, a discussion of how to overcome the challenges for achieving full potential of 1D nanostructures is presented. It is anticipated that this review will afford enriched information on the rational exploration of the structural and electronic properties of 1D semiconductor nanostructures for achieving more efficient 1D nanostructure-based photocatalysts and photoelectrodes for high-efficiency solar energy conversion.


I am very aware of the consequences of this post. I know a few who will think I am talking about them in this, although they would be wrong. That group would be the people who do really care, and talk to me in confidence about things but don't always talk to me when things are perfect. Real friends can do that, mandatory conversations every day is not something I need or require. Sometimes all that is needed from a real friend is a weekly, "Hi!! How are you doing?". Touching base with one another when nothing is wrong at all. I digress a little. I care about people in my life enough to make it clear they are not the group of people who I am speaking of.
I know I am a hard nut to get used to. I am blunt and don't beat around the bush, especially when you ask me what I think… I am not easily controlled or manipulated… I am a very loyal person, I keep things in confidence when told, even those that merely tolerate my presence seem to get that about me. That is the point of this post… I am annoyed… very annoyed….
I am starting to wonder if there is something in the water lately. I really don't care who doesn't like me, or who merely tolerates my presence. In the grand scheme of things, these people are just as irrelevant to my life as I am to theirs. But here is what I do care about… and the purpose of this post. I write to get my feelings out, I am overly logical and emotion and feelings are not easy for me to get out in words. I am called Spock Jr by my family for a reason….
Over the course of the last month or so, certain people in the above-mentioned categories seem to need me. Have their lives gotten so horrible that I am the last resort to turn to? Am I the only thing available to kick them back upwards from their downward spiral?
Some of these people do not even give me a hello at a random time during the day normally, but as soon as they are hitting the bottom, I am the first one they come to? Why is that? Is it a set up to test my loyalty? Do I give such good advice, they finally realize they need me? Do they think I am such a moron, I don't realize that they are only speaking to me out of need? Do I intimidate them so much during a normal day that they only grow balls to speak to me when they feel they have to or need to?
The opposite of a fair-weather friend, a foul-weather friend only seeks you out if they have a problem, need a shoulder to cry on, a ride to town or someone to watch their dog, but otherwise they act as if they don't even know you. They're only your chum when they're glum.
In my experience, foul weather friends are also those who like to gossip, talk about you behind your back, say things about you that they would never say to your face. They assume since they don't talk to you, no one else does either. So in their minds, it's OK; you won't find out what was said. Isn't it ironically hilarious how that never happens the way they expect it to?
What isn't funny is the fact that some of these people I am speaking of, I actually do care about, even knowing their true feelings for me. Why you ask? That's my nature… I care, I may not let you in, but I care. That's what being an adult is about.
To me, my life is a "keep".
There are people inside of it, people at the gate possibly ready to walk in, and there are people who are either in or coming into missile range with bows trained on them; arrows at the ready. There are even some tossed in the moat, wondering if they are going to be able to tread water long enough to find out what they are to me.
Never take my loyalty for granted, test it, or abuse it.
Never mistake my compassion for stupidity or ignorance.
Never make the mistake of thinking that I do not know that you are two-faced even when I am trying to help you in your crisis.
Never take for granted that I do not know what you say about me behind my back.
Always remember that I am actually a real person with feelings, just like you consider yourself to be.
Do not confuse my acknowledging you when you need me for that brief moment that you are relevant to my life. I will help those I don't know, and even don't really like.
I am a strong woman. I am opinionated, and bluntly honest when you ask me for advice or input. I am actually one of the best friends you could ever have. You have no real reason to be afraid or feel intimidated by me unless you bring it on yourself.
The ones that do that are missing out on a great opportunity to get to know you.


A special education program is one that is planned for students with special learning disorders. Developmental learning disabilities when they occur are usually not limited to difficulties in learning just one subject. Since English, Math, Science, Reading and other subjects are not only taught in separate classrooms, but also as requiring different learning skills, students who show a weak aptitude in any of these areas are tested specifically in that area. If the psychologist diagnoses a learning disability in one or more subjects, the student is classified as qualified for a learning disabilities classroom.
These classrooms are sometimes a part of the normal school in physical location. If they are located in the same high school, they are usually found in one wing of the school. If the school district has a building just for learning disabilities, those students who qualify are usually bused to their school. If you are wondering how to find a special education program for your student, the place to ask is at the local board of education. You can also be assisted by calling the local high school and asking to talk to the guidance counselor. The familiar term for these learning disabilities classes are LD classrooms. The teachers in these classrooms have had special training in meeting the needs of special students.
If your student has more than just learning disabilities and also has physical disabilities, state funded programs to meet their needs are available and can be arranged through the local board of education. In some parts of the country, there are private clinics and schools that can help a learning disabled student. These classes meet the needs of learning disabilities students, offer private testing and focused attention on helping to correct or to teach the student to cope with his learning disability. Reading disorders are often classified under mental disorders or disorders of the brain as in dyslexia. There is help for students who have been diagnosed with those learning disorders.
The first place to look in your search on how to find a special education program is with your local school. The second place is with pediatricians who can also be of help in directing the parent of a special needs student. The third place is with private learning disability schools and associations. Many universities that offer teacher training classes are also a good place to look for special education program. Since they teach people how to develop and to implement special education programs, they have people on staff who will be able to direct you.
