NFCA Announces Its 2018 NCAA Division III All-America Teams
Category: NCAA III News
OKLAHOMA CITY — The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) is proud to announce the 45 players chosen for the 2018 NFCA NCAA Division III All-America softball teams. Those selected were honored Wednesday night during the NCAA Division III Championship banquet at the Sheraton Hotel Downtown in Oklahoma City.
The teams in the NFCA Division III Top 25 Poll are well represented, as the top 10 ranked squads alone account for 11 of the honorees. No. 3-ranked University of Texas at Tyler leads the way with five selections, and 16th-ranked Luther College has three players on the list.
Defending national champion and top-ranked Virginia Wesleyan University tops the contingent of seven squads with two honorees apiece, which includes No. 11 Christopher Newport, 12th-ranked Williams, No. 14 Rowan, No. 19 Saint Mary's (Ind.), 24th-ranked Illinois Wesleyan and unranked Trine. Twenty-three other schools had one player chosen.
In all, 32 Division III schools are represented on the three All-America squads. Six of the eight teams that advanced to the NCAA Division III Championship in Oklahoma City have All-Americans on their roster, totaling one-third (15) of the spots.
There are 36 first-time All-Americans, six two-time All-Americans and two three-time All-Americans. St. John Fisher's Lindsey Thayer is the lone four-time All-American on this year's list.
First team pitcher Hanna Hull has been one of the most dominant pitchers in Division III again this season, leading the (50-2) Marlins to one of the eight berths in the NCAA Championship. Hull is 35-2 with a 1.05 ERA, 316 strikeouts and just 59 walks in 226.2 innings so far this season.
First team pitcher Kassie Howard was also a force in the circle for Berry, compiling a 25-3 record, 1.16 ERA and 209 strikeouts in 156.1 innings to help the Vikings reach the NCAA Super Regionals for the first time in school history. She also helped herself at the plate with a .348 average in limited action.
First team catcher Ashley Perez of Texas-Tyler also picked up Division III's Diamond Sports/NFCA Catcher of the Year and Schutt Sports/NFCA National Freshman of the Year honors after batting .473 with 70 hits, 32 runs scored, 22 doubles, 18 homers and 67 RBI heading into this week's NCAA Championship.
Virginia Wesleyan's Cassetty Howerin had another stellar season to earn first team first base honors. Heading into the NCAA Championship, she is batting .434 with 59 hits, 15 doubles, seven homers and 57 RBI, and she has also swiped 24 bases in 26 attempts.
First team second baseman Laurren Ladwig of Manchester had 52 hits and 19 homers, while batting .460 and scoring 45 runs this season.
Erin Cressman of Messiah earned the first team third base nod on the strength of her .423 batting average, 50 runs, 12 doubles and 11 homers.
First team shortstop Sam Berghoff of Illinois Wesleyan has been a key component in the potent Titan lineup, hitting .479 with 53 runs, 19 doubles, four triples, 12 home runs and 63 RBI.
Mackenzie Murphy of Williams is the first team choice at the utility spot, hitting 12 homers and driving in 40 runs while batting .411 for the Ephs.
The first team designated player for 2018 is Patty Maye Ohanian of Christopher Newport. She helped fuel the Captains this season with 15 doubles, 12 homers, 68 RBI and a .484 batting average.
The first team outfield consists of Texas-Tyler's Nicole Garcia (.513, 62 runs, 16 doubles, 33 RBI), Christopher Newport's Leah Andrews (.421, 63 runs, 22 doubles, eight homers) and Ama Biney from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (62 hits, including 22 for extra bases, .446 batting average).
At-Large selections are Kaylee Fox of Trine (.455, 56 hits, 30 runs, 14 doubles, 17 homers, 63 RBI), Lindsey Thayer of St. John Fisher (25-6, 1.23 ERA, 15 shutouts, 26 complete games, 323 strikeouts and just 33 walks in 199 innings), who finished her stellar career as the all-time NCAA Division III strikeout leader with 1,540, and Anna Strien of Luther (.479, 62 hits, 18 doubles, just five strikeouts in 144 at-bats).
Elsewhere, second team All-America second baseman Melissa Livermore of Texas-Dallas earned New Balance/NFCA Golden Shoe honors, as the leading base stealer in Division III this season, with 54 stolen bases in 62 attempts.
Case Western Reserve, Illinois Wesleyan, Ithaca, Luther, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rowan, Texas-Tyler and defending national champion Virginia Wesleyan are competing in the double-elimination NCAA Championship, starting Thursday at Oklahoma City's USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium complex.
The NFCA Division III All-America softball teams are selected from the pool of players who earned first team All-Region recognition by eight NCAA Division III head coaches representing the eight NCAA regions.

Westpac now expects an additional rate hike next year, bringing the February spot rate to 3.6 percent
Borrowers are in for even more bad news as Westpac expects an additional interest rate next year to tackle its worst inflation in three decades.
The bank's chief economist Bill Evans has revised Westpac's forecasts to ensure that the Reserve Bank of Australia will raise its spot interest rate to a 10-year high of 3.6 percent by February next year.
Previously, Westpac expected a cash interest rate of 3.35 percent, with its new forecast at the higher end of what the Big Four banks expect.
Westpac sees the RBA cash rate reach its highest level since June 2012.
Should Westpac's predictions come true, a borrower with an average loan of $600,000 would owe the bank $1,116 more per month compared to early May, when the cash interest rate was still at a record low of 0.1 percent.
Compared to now, this borrower would owe an additional $456 per month in February as their repayments increased from $2,966 to $3,422.
As late as May, this borrower would have owed $2,306 per month to pay off a typical loan with a lower floating rate.
Mr Evans said the RBA's priority would be to tackle the worst inflation in 32 years, with an additional 0.25 percentage point rate hike, compared to Westpac's earlier forecast, intended to "achieve its target of wring inflation out of the system'.
"Given these extreme conditions surrounding the build-up of inflationary pressures, central banks will adopt the policy of 'least regret'," he said.
"That will be the mistake of limiting inflation in the short term at the expense of potential growth."

Borrowers face more bad news with Westpac expecting an additional interest rate next year to tackle worst inflation in three decades (pictured is an auction in Melbourne)
Borrowers since May have endured five consecutive monthly rate hikes, pushing the cash interest rate to a seven-year high of 2.35 percent.
What the big banks now expect
WESTPAC: 3.6 percent spot interest by February 2023 (versus 3.35 percent)
COMMON BANK: 2.85 percent spot interest in November (versus 2.6 percent)
ANZ: 3.35 percent cash rate in December (from November)
NAB: 2.85 percent spot interest in November
The 2.25 percentage point rate hikes marked the most aggressive monetary policy tightening since 1994, ending the pandemic era of record-low cash interest rates of 0.1 percent.
Westpac expects another 0.5 percentage point rate hike in October, which would push the cash interest rate to a nine-year high of 2.85 percent.
This would also be above the 2.5 percent level that Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe considers neutral, and would be the fifth consecutive 50 basis point rate hike.
Mr Evans said that Dr. Lowe on Friday before the House Economics Committee convinced him that the RBA would prefer to raise interest rates at a more aggressive pace.
"There were important comments during Friday's parliamentary hearing that suggest he will choose a higher interest rate before deciding to slow down the pace of tightening," he said.
"We now expect the Governor to decide to push the price more clearly towards his best estimate of the contraction zone before scaling back the pace of increases."
The bank's chief economist Bill Evans has revised Westpac's forecasts to ensure that the Reserve Bank of Australia will raise its spot interest rate to a 10-year high of 3.6 percent by February next year. Previously, Westpac expected a cash interest of 3.35 percent (shown is a Westpac branch in Sydney)
dr. Lowe described inflation as a "plague" on Friday.
"High inflation is hurting our economy, exacerbating inequality and devaluing people's savings," he said.
"High inflation also makes it very difficult to maintain or increase real wages, so it's a scourge."
Inflation rose 6.1 percent in the year to June, a level more than double the RBA bank's target of 2 to 3 percent.
The RBA and Treasury both expect headline inflation to reach a 32-year high of 7.75 percent by the end of 2022.
dr. Lowe clearly hinted Friday that it would continue to tighten monetary policy.
"The RBA will do whatever it takes to ensure that higher inflation does not become entrenched, and we are committed to bringing inflation back to the target range of two to three percent," he said.
Westpac said the RBA's priority would be to tackle the worst inflation in 32 years, with an additional interest rate hike of 0.25 percentage points, compared to Westpac's earlier forecast, intended to "achieve the goal of curbing inflation." wring the system' (pictured is a terrace in Sydney at the market)
'And we want to do that in a way that keeps the economy going.
"I think it is possible to achieve this, but the path here is narrow and shrouded in uncertainty."
The Commonwealth Bank, Australia's largest mortgage lender, expects inflation to reach 7.25 percent by the end of 2022, but moderate in 2023 to 2.9 percent by the end of 2023.
In contrast, the RBA expects headline inflation to reach 4.3 percent by the end of 2023.
Nevertheless, Gareth Aird, the Commonwealth Bank's head of Australian economy, expects the RBA to cut rates again by the end of next year.
"We have 50 basis points of rate cuts in our profile for the second half of '23," he said.
Mr Aird said the RBA could cut rates as Australia, unlike other developed economies, has now seen a wage-price spiral.
Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Philip Lowe (pictured) told the House Economic Committee that high inflation was a "scourge" and convinced economists that the RBA would pursue aggressive monetary policy tightening
"Australia is not in a wage-price spiral as seen in some other jurisdictions," he said.
"By extension, the RBA doesn't have to run as hard as other central banks against inflation and wages," said Mr Aird.
"The RBA does want wage growth to continue to rise."
The Australian wage price index grew by 2.6 percent in the period to June, less than half the inflation rate of 6.1 percent.
Wage growth has remained below the long-term average of 3 percent since 2013, and the Commonwealth Bank expects it to reach 3.5 percent by mid-2023.
Wage growth is still subdued despite an unemployment rate in August of just 3.5 percent, a level only slightly above the 48-year low in July of 3.4 percent.
What borrowers could pay by February next year compared to May 2022
$500,000: $930 up to $2,852 from $1,922
$600,000: $1,116 up to $3,422 from $2,306
$1,000,000: $1,861 up to $5,704 from $3,843
Forecasts comparing a 10-year high spot rate of 3.6 percent in February 2023 with a record low spot rate of 0.1 percent in May 2022, based on Westpac forecasts. Monthly repayments reflect a typical Commonwealth Bank variable loan increasing to 5.54 percent from 2.29 percent

Dahmer Actress Defends The Series Calling It Educational
Keyla McNeely, who starred in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, has come out in support of the series, saying it is "educational."
By Britta DeVore | Published 2 months ago
Netflix and Ryan Murphy struck gold with their release of a scripted telling of the gut-wrenching crimes of the Milwaukee Cannibal in Murphy's Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. And, while the project rubbed many people the wrong way, including members of the victim's families, Monster actress Keyla McNeely is standing by the cast and crew's hard work. As TMZ reported, the actress believes that at the very least, the piece can be seen as "educational" in not only helping to spot warning signs in loved ones but also in learning about the history of racism and homophobia that audiences saw so deeply embedded in the police department.
For those who may not know, Keyla McNeely played Dorothy Straughter, the mother of Dahmer's victim Curtis Straughter, in the Netflix limited series. TMZ chatted with the actress at LAX where she said that while she was sorry that many of the victims' families were troubled by the production, she believed it was a useful and pertinent story to tell. Throughout the show, it's made abundantly clear that the police were not doing their job of protecting and serving, which in turn allowed the titular serial killer to get away with his crimes and move on to even more victims.
The communities at the center of the story were grossly underserved, with race playing a key part in officers not responding sooner to what would later be discovered as a crime scene. Part of the reason why Dahmer lived and operated in these neighborhoods was that he knew he could get away with killing minorities. In the world of true crime, non-white victims and those belonging to the LGBTQ+ community are referred to as "the less dead," because police are less likely to pour themselves into their cases.
Along with the neighborhood, Dahmer, a gay man, also preyed on men who he would meet while out at clubs. The stigma around being gay allowed him to push things off as lover's quarrels as cops were grossed out by the idea of two men being together, leaving his residence as quickly as possible. It's with these major ideas that McNeely believes that the cast and crew of Monster were telling the best story they could and shining a light on injustices that she believes still happen today.
A heart-wrenching and stomach-churning series, Ryan Murphy's Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story featured American Horror Story alum, Evan Peters, in the titular role with The Rookie: Feds star Niecy Nash in the co-starring role as Dahmer's neighbor Glenda Cleveland. Molly Ringwald played Dahmer's stepmother Shari Dahmer, with Richard Jenkins as his father Lionel Dahmer, and Penelope Ann Jenkins as his mother, Joyce Dahmer. The ensemble cast telling the story of those whose lives the sadistic killer tragically touched the most included Shaun Brown, Rodney Burford, Kieran Tamondong, Karen Malina White, and Cameron Cowperthwaite.
The show became such a hit for Netflix, that they immediately gave Ryan Murphy the go-ahead to create several other projects like it. With this platform, the Glee co-creator will tell the stories of other monsters like Dahmer who have worked their way into American history because of their brutal and gruesome crimes. As of right now, no further announcements have been made about who the next installment will follow or when audiences can expect to see it land on Netflix.

Planning Application To Amend Layout Of North Runway
January 24, 2019 Back to all news
daa has made an application to Fingal County Council seeking permission to amend the physical layout of North Runway. The application does not propose any changes to the length of the runway nor does it seek to change any of the permitted operating conditions of the runway.
The reasons for the application primarily relate to changes in aviation standards. The current runway layout, which was granted planning permission in 2007, was designed based on International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standards. Since then, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has been established as the competent authority for aviation standards in Europe. In December 2017, EASA published amendments to the regulations governing infrastructure design. The new regulations set out revised criteria for the design of runways and taxiways which have a direct impact on the current permitted design of North Runway. daa is therefore seeking to amend the layout of the runway to comply with the new regulations.
Additional amendments are also being sought in relation to the taxiway network for the runway which have arisen following consultation with airlines. There are also a number of changes proposed which are necessary to co-ordinate with the airports Air Navigational Aids, which are critical safety systems operated by the Irish Aviation Authority.
Importantly, the proposed amendments to the permitted design of North Runway will result in a reduction of approximately 115,000 square metres of paved area, consequently reducing the amount of building materials used to construct the runway and taxiway system. The composition of the landscaped grass areas, which are required to enhance the navigational equipment, will also reduce the amount of spoil material sent off-site for disposal. The activities associated with the amended design will primarily take place within the airport campus with minimal impact envisaged on the surrounding areas.
More detail on the main proposed amendments are set out below:
Changing the structure of the outer 7.5m of runway shoulders from paved area to einforced grass;
Reducing the width of the taxiways from c.30m to c.27m;
Reducing the number of Rapid Exit Taxiways from four to two;
Making minor amendments to the location of two sub-stations and modifying the associated access roads in their vicinity;
Providing new maintenance access roads for vehicles. Entry points for these roads will be located on the eastern side of Castlemoate Road, the eastern and western sides of Toberburr Road and north-east of the Boot Inn;
Providing three laybys off the airport perimeter road located to the south of St Margaret's Bypass and Forrest Little Road;
Re-aligning and re-locating fire access roads, which will require the removal of six crash gates along the St. Margaret's Bypass and Castlemoate Road. One crash gate will also be re-located on the St. Margaret's Bypass;
Providing elevated landscaped areas to enhance the quality of navigational equipment signals;
Removal of security entrance Gate 1A (access via Castlemoate Road);
Erection of eight CCTV masts and sections of airside blast fencing.
A map, which can be accessed by clicking HERE, provides a visual of the current permitted runway design and the revised runway design with the main runway and taxiway amendments included. The full set of planning drawings can be inspected at the offices of the Planning Authority.

Undead were once-living creatures that had been animated by spiritual or supernatural forces.[1] Some deities employed undead as divine servants; for example, the dwarven god Dumathoin used undead dwarves as divine messengers.[2]
Undead were extremely resilient to a number of effects and substances that were extremely harmful to the living. They were immune to all mind-affecting effects, poison,[3] sleep effects,[4] paralysis, stunning, disease, and death effects. In addition, it was not possible to drain their life force in any manner.[citation needed]
Once an area is infested with undead, it becomes a gathering place for the foul things.

Origins[]
Undead. They got back up and started fighting again—this time, against the rest of us... They fell, they died, they got back up.
— Deneirrath priest of Spirit Soaring[6]
There were six basic ways a living creature could become undead:
Purposeful personal reanimation
A living creature could willingly undergo the transformation to undeath. In most cases, the creature possessed a disposition towards evil, but this was not always the case. More common reasons included fear of dying of old age, fear of dying from a grievous wound, and a thirst for power.[7]
An intelligent creature might create undead servants as a means to their own ends. These mindless minions were created by malevolent spellcasters to serve as guards or otherwise carry out their bidding.[8]
Atrocity calls to unlife
Sometimes, a living creature committed an evil and heinous act that transformed them into an undead creature. The intensity and specificity of the required act was somewhat random and not entirely uncommon.[9]
An intelligent creature died or was killed with an important deed left incomplete. In a similar manner to atrocities, the specifications surrounding undeath achieved in this manner were often left up to chance.[10]
Malign forces created undead beings seemingly at random. This had the potential to befall any creature, at any location and seemingly at any time.[11] In Cormyr, it was thought that wandering evil spirits would take over corpses and use them to slay and scare the living.[12]
Death by wounds caused by another undead
Many forms of undead creatures inflicted their undeath upon others when striking them with a mortal wound. Perhaps most famously, this occurred in the case of vampires and their bite.[13]

Radio Africa Group Launches Free To Air Bamba TV Set Top Box In Kenya
Radio Africa Group on Monday launched a Free to Air Set Top Box in Nairobi, Kenya. This comes in just under ten days before the set date for digital migration for Nairobi which is on the 31st of December. Bamba TV is a conditional access set-top box that will air both exclusive Bamba tv content and other free to air channels.
At launch Bamba TV which has been in test for over a year airs 50 channels, 24 of which are specific to Bamba TV and are exclusive to the set top box, and others include the general channels available on other free to air channels. Bamba TV has negotiated partnerships with paid content providers to avail it for free within their product.
There are 7 movie channels, 3 of which are African channels and other international ones, there are three cartoon channels, 4 lifestyle channels including fashion TV and cars TV. There is also a 24 hour Telenovela Channel.
Bamba TV is ready for Nairobi and it's environs Thika and Kiambu with a target for covering Mombasa and Kisumu by end of December and the rest of the country by the end of March. This is a Kshs 500 million investment over the last one year in content production and negotiations with a plan to double that over the next one year.
Bamba TV set-top box which is a terrestrial box is a plug and play which retails for Kshs 3200 and with no subscription fee. According to Carol Mutoko, Radio Africa Group Chief Marketing Officer, the differentiation from anything in the market is so evident. "Our product is incomparable to anything in the competition and we want to be the solution for those who cannot afford to pay a subscription fee for PayTV in the wake of digital migration," Carol said adding that the people in the flats and other mid to low cost estates will find it steep to start paying for TV.
We are talking to a majority of Kenyans who cannot to pay a monthly subscription – Danny Muchira
"We are talking to a majority of Kenyans who cannot to pay a monthly subscription," said Danny Muchira, the Bamba TV General Manager. "Kenyans should be ready for digital migration and we are on the table to offer the best product there is in the market. We are offering distribution and signal advantage on top of content differentiation and this makes it necessary for us to sell the box and it's own transmission system to be able to position their product separate from the competition."
Bamba TV which is Radio Africa's newest baby competes directly with GoTV and Startimes on the Set top box offering while on the signal tranmission front with SIGNET and PANG. Bamba TV has the whole hog of infrastructure, channels and content plan. In the market there is other free to air set top boxes, with 61 vendors licensed to sell in Kenya. There is over 1.3 million set-top boxes already sold in Kenya and Bamba TV targets those who would not purchase them because they were not open to start paying for TV, while at the same time offering more than the usual free to air channels on the product.

Lets hope this is not another over hyped product that will not last 1 Year. Remember classic TV and the numerous times Kiss TV has rebranded?
Martin Gicheru January 2, 2015 At 11:36 am
Great observation, however I do give them credit for their resilience. A business is as good as the number of times it does not stay down and wakes up to try something new.
lincoln December 30, 2014 At 1:39 pm
Good intevention good timing.I hope its as good as it sounds.Am giving it 6 months ,if it servives the competition its good to go!
Dymanics that would affect success here are
1. How many get on board in first 6 months (marketing and distribution). Remember their model here is advertising on the box.
2. Programming, is it able to show better value than all FTAs.
3. For the paytv offers, would they offer interesting offers that would make people consider to pay instead of use FTAs.
ken June 1, 2015 At 5:32 pm
I would like to buy a digital set top box (preferably FTA). Which would be ideal in Kenya currently based on your opinion? – [email protected]
MKM January 6, 2015 At 10:18 am
I am particularly delighted to know that Bamba TV includes EWTN. I have personally made several pleas to my current service providers (GOTV and Startimes) to include this great channel to no avail. Thy just could not see the market potential in it. It is the only reason I am switching over TODAY. Keep it up. MKM, Nairobi.
iYBKenya January 6, 2015 At 2:41 pm
I don't want to throw sand into anybodys hustle but the channels being provided by bamba TV are the same channels you'll get if you have a digital TV. So why go through the hustle why dont you just buy a proper set top box that gives you access to Maisha Magic, MTV, E! et al?
Martin Gicheru January 6, 2015 At 4:51 pm
Thanks for your comment @injeyabox:disqus, to answer your question, as much as one would prefer to get the digital tv since it reduces the need for a second device, the cost for a non-digital tv plus FTA set top box is way lower than that. Also, choices!
Then your assumption is that many people already have digital TVs, majority don't.
mercy January 6, 2015 At 5:19 pm
Please give me mbamba tv contacts pliz, i am in need.
Eric Baraza January 6, 2015 At 11:35 pm
If they wanted to give people free content, why not just make it available to all FTA set top boxes and digital TVs? Why do we need their box in particular to view their free content? How many gadgets will people have to buy if everyone keeps coming up with exclusive "free" channels? It's ridiculous!
You will come to learn that every business in this case is thinking about them and theirs' not really about you. And they want to ensure they own the subscription.
Understandable because things change and you find yourself quite limited while using other people's platforms.
Eric Baraza January 10, 2015 At 7:09 am
Meaning there is a high chance that they will introduce pay TV in future after having captured the masses, huh!?
I like their idea and unlike Gotv, their decoder has HDMI which means better picture quality (hopefully)
Martin Gicheru January 14, 2015 At 5:06 pm
That's also a possibility, and then they will have an audience to their name. Remember StarTimes and DStv released new products when they realized there was some market they could target.
MKM January 9, 2015 At 2:29 pm
Three days ago I congratulated you for the launch of BabaTV and immediately bought a set box. It was a big mistake. Although it was tested it at the shop (city centre) and received a number of channels (as confirmed by the person I had sent) I have never been able to receive any of the channels at home (Juja). I was lucky enough to talk to customer care (after 2 days of trying) and confirmed I have a strong signal but there was no explanation for failure to access any of the the channels. Even the channels that were given to me by name and number (to test) did not agree with what was on the screen. I was promised action would been taken but nothing has been done so far. Worse still, I cannot now get someone to pick my calls. I am very very disappointed. MKM – 0724 309 006.
Oh! MKM
Kindly note that we are a news site, not the owners of Bamba TV, should you need to reach them for customer service you might want to consider social media, either Twitter @bambatvkenya or Facebook, or contact them on their site.


Sometimes, the smallest things in life make the greatest impact. The same goes for your home interior design. An accent piece or a fixture can transform a room. A simple paint can lighten up an area whilst a touch of texture can turn a boring piece of furniture into an impressive one. With many home interior designs available in the market, it is somehow overwhelming to choose the right materials to enhance the beauty of your home. If you are thinking of giving your home a new look, these three clever tricks can guide you.
If you want a total makeover for a certain area, change its wall paint. Many home design guidelines indicate how paint gives a space an optical illusion of sorts. If you paint a small room in softer and lighter colours, it can help make the room feel larger. Conversely, darker shades will make a large room smaller.
Mirrors, like light-coloured paints, can visually enlarge a room. Economy Glass says mirrors create additional light and depth to a room. Decorative mirrors have a unique ability to reflect and highlight views and hues from neighbouring walls. You can also consider replacing your old indoor balustrades with a glass material to make your home trendy. By introducing glass fixtures in your home interior, you can create a contemporary feel, which can bring home beauty to a completely new level.
There's nothing wrong with mixing patterns and textures. However, even talented interior decorators will tell you that the most important thing about decorating your home is that it reflects who you are. Combine new and old stuff, like mixing wood and glass. A room that's bursting with textured elements can create a cosy and stylish design. You don't have to worry about how it would look like as today's interior trends are about mixing up different textures.
You can always mix and match designs and materials to enhance the beauty of your home. Whether you want to make an overall transformation or a slight change, experimenting with interior designs that fit your style and personality can produce stunning results.

AP Top 25: SMU drops to No. 23; Navy gives AAC 4 teams, 3rd-most by conference
By RALPH D. RUSSO
Navy moved into The Associated Press college football poll at No. 25, giving the American Athletic Conference four ranked teams, more than all but the Big Ten and the Southeastern Conference.
With nine ranked teams off this weekend, including four of the top five, there was little movement throughout the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank. LSU is No. 1 for a second consecutive week and Alabama is No. 2. The Tigers and Crimson Tide on Saturday will play the first regular-season 1-2 game since the same two did it in 2011.
Navy joins fellow AAC members No. 17 Cincinnati, No. 19 Memphis and No. 23 SMU in the Top 25. Four ranked teams matches a high for the 7-year-old American, which was born from the collapse of the Big East.
Ohio State is No. 3 as the margin among the top three teams widened a bit after last week's historically close vote. The first-place vote distribution stayed the same. The Tigers received 1,479 points and 17 first-place votes, Alabama had 1,472 points and 21 first places, and Ohio State got 1,467 points and 17 firsts. No. 4 Clemson received the other seven first-place votes and Penn State remained No. 5.
Georgia jumped two spots to No. 6 after beating Florida in the weekend's biggest game. The Gators slipped four spots to No. 10.
1. LSU (17) 8-0 1,479 1
2. Alabama (21) 8-0 1,472 2
3. Ohio St. (17) 8-0 1,467 3

5. Penn St. 8-0 1,306 5
6. Georgia 7-1 1,196 8
7. Oregon 8-1 1,180 7
8. Utah 8-1 1,090 9

24. San Diego St. 7-1 87 25
25. Navy 7-1 83 -
POLL POINTS
The first College Football Playoff selection committee rankings come out Tuesday night.
Since the selection committee started ranking teams around this point in the season, only last year did it have the same four teams in the top as the AP poll that was released two days earlier. And never has the first CFP rankings' first four matched the preceding AP top four.
Top fours in order:
AP: Mississippi State, Florida State, Alabama, Auburn
CFP: Mississippi State, Auburn, Florida State, Mississippi
AP: Ohio State, Baylor, Clemson, LSU
CFP: Clemson, LSU, Ohio State, Alabama
AP: Alabama, Michigan, Clemson, Washington
CFP: Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, Texas A&M
AP: Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Wisconsin
CFP: Georgia, Alabama, Notre Dame, Clemson
AP: Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, LSU
CFP: Alabama, Clemson, LSU, Notre Dame
Appalachian State was the only team to fall out of the rankings this week. The Sun Belt Conference's lone representative lost for the first time this season,
The American also had four ranked teams on Nov. 8, 2015 (Houston, Temple, Navy, Memphis). The Midshipmen are ranked for the first time since 2017 and already have more than doubled their win total from last season's disappointing 3-9 finish.
Big Ten — 6 (Nos. 3, 5, 13, 14, 16, 19)
SEC — 5 (Nos. 1, 2, 6, 10, 12)
American — 4 (Nos. 17, 19, 23, 25)
Big 12 — 3 (Nos. 9, 11, 20)
ACC — 2 (Nos. 4, 22)
Pac-12 — 2 (Nos. 7, 8)
Mountain West — 2 (Nos. 21, 24)
Independent — 1 (No. 15)
RANKED vs. RANKED
No. 1 LSU at No. 2 Alabama. A playoff eliminator? Or is this just for seeding?
No. 5 Penn State at No. 13 Minnesota. Coach P.J. Fleck's unbeaten Gophers could row the boat right into playoff contention.
No. 19 Iowa at No. 18 Wisconsin. Huge game in the Big Ten West.

I don't watch a lot of documentaries, but it seems when I do, I always seem to pick one I like. Recently I watched Blackfish, the story of Tilikum, an orca captured off the cost of Iceland in 1983, who has spent the past 30 years or so in captivity, performing most recently for SeaWorld. A major premise of the film is that living in a tiny tank in stressful circumstances has transformed these whales into aggressive animals that are dangerous to humans. I've seen a lot of people debating the accuracy of this. I don't care to speculate or discuss this since this seems a far less important issue than the captivity of the animals in the first place. It seems pretty clear from other sources that orca, like many of their sea-faring relatives, are very intelligent animals with strong familial bonds. They appear to communicate via a sort of pseudo-language, and exhibit complex societal behaviors. The real issue I take with SeaWorld is that they keep these animals captive and they keep in grossly inadequate facilities. I've never been to SeaWorld, and after viewing this film I can assure you I never will. Its a really great movie and I'd encourage you to check it out. It is on Netflix (even on streaming), so should be easily obtainable.

Johnson to voters: Give Libertarian a chance
By Stephen Dinan and Seth McLaughlin - The Washington Times - Monday, July 23, 2012
Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson said Monday that he won't release his tax returns, joining his voice to that of presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney, who has declined to release more than the two most recent years.
In a meeting with editors and reporters at The Washington Times, Mr. Johnson said he hadn't previously been asked to release his forms, but said he understood Mr. Romney's reluctance. Mr. Johnson, a former New Mexico governor who built a contracting company from the ground up, said he hasn't owed taxes to the federal government in recent years because he has suffered heavy losses — and he speculated that may be the same reason Mr. Romney has declined to release his own.
"I think the consensus is, is that he's trying to hide the fact that he's made a whole lot of money, as opposed to that he actually probably didn't pay any tax because he lost so much money. That's my guess. Because I'm in the same camp," Mr. Johnson said.
Asked specifically whether he would release his returns, the candidate said he would "respectfully decline."
Mr. Johnson, who won the Libertarian Party's nomination in May after dropping out of the GOP race late last year, said he is asking voters to give him and his party another look and said he is counting on dissatisfaction with both major parties to push voters into his corner.
"A lot more people say they are libertarian than vote Libertarian, so what I'm trying to tap into is: Vote Libertarian just this one time and really give me a chance to really make a difference," he said.
He said his only path to victory is to gain attention by being allowed into the presidential debates, where he can raise his profile and try to build a coalition of voters who tend to be fiscally conservative and socially "accepting."
"The only way that I win is if I am on the national debate stage with Romney and Obama, and the only way I do that is if I'm in the polls that determine who gets in the debates. And right now, only three polling organizations out of 18 are including my name," he said.
Mr. Johnson meets the age and citizenship qualifications to be president and will appear on enough state ballots to be able to win the electoral votes needed to claim the White House — two of the criteria the commission that sponsors the debates requires.
But right now he does not garner 15 percent in national polls — the final requirement the commission has laid out.
Mr. Johnson polled 4 percent in the latest Washington Times-JZ Analytics poll earlier this month, and several other surveys also included Mr. Johnson. Gallup became the latest to do so this month, showing him with 3 percent support.
Earlier Times/JZ Analytics polling showed an appetite for a third-party candidate, but not necessarily for Mr. Johnson's mix of political positions.
He said he would withdraw troops immediately from Afghanistan, curtail drone attacks and never sign off on a drone assassination of a U.S. citizen, and he would repeal the USA Patriot Act.
He also said he supports "marriage equality, believing that it's constitutionally guaranteed" — but struggled to name where in the Constitutional that guarantee is. At the end of his meeting with The Times, he conferred with an aide and then said the right comes from the 14th Amendment.
He backs the Fair Tax, a national sales tax that he said would replace the Internal Revenue Service and the current income tax code.
Mr. Johnson also is one of the country's foremost spokesmen for legalizing marijuana and acknowledged using it and other, harder drugs. He said he thinks the country should legalize all drugs, but as president he would push first for marijuana legalization.
This week he released a Web video trying to tap into the marijuana legalization movement. The video includes a photo of President Obama smoking a joint when he was younger.
"I'm saying to Obama, 'Look, man, you smoked it. You smoked it and you didn't go to jail.' That's not fair," he told The Times.
Mr. Johnson made his money by founding and running Big J Enterprises, a contracting business he built up to employ hundreds of workers. His net worth last year reportedly was about $6 million.
He told The Times he has suffered losses in recent years, which is why he won't release his tax returns.
Mr. Obama has released his returns. Mr. Romney has released his 2010 return and an estimate of taxes paid in 2011 but has declined to release returns from prior years.
Federal law requires candidates to fill out a broad estimate of their net worth, but they are not required to release their returns.
Mr. Romney's campaign didn't respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Johnson said if he can raise the money, he would like to run ads on cable TV in states where he thinks he has the best chance of winning votes: New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana and Alaska.
As of June 30, his campaign had raised $1 million, had just $5,219 cash on hand and had debts totaling $431,722. The Federal Election Commission has deemed him eligible for federal matching funds, and he had collected $130,000 as of last month.
Mr. Johnson said he has felt like a Libertarian since the party's founding in 1971 but hasn't voted that way. In fact, he voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, and for Sen. Bob Dole before that. In 2008, he voted for Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin.
He said that having been a governor for two full terms, he has more executive experience than Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama combined and that his record of vetoing spending should make him attractive even to supporters of Rep. Ron Paul, who vociferously backed their hero in the GOP primaries.
"There's no difference in the message," Mr. Johnson said. "And I'm making the pitch that I have a resume to suggest that maybe I'll be more effective than Dr. Paul. And that's not to discount anything from Dr. Paul at all. It's just — it's not a compromise vote."

"The $cheme"
August 18, 2021 · by elvis764 · in August. ·
MOVIE REVIEW: "The $cheme" stars Jimmy Fallon (Fever Pitch, Taxi [2004]), Nathan Anderson (How High 2, Mad Men [TV series]), Brian Hooks (Fool's Gold, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me), Bruce Weitz (Hill Street Blues [TV series], Half Past Dead), Andie Falconi (Soulkeeper, Undressed [TV series]), Timothy Bottoms (The Last Picture Show, Johnny Got His Gun), and Kamala Lopez (Deep Cover, Born in East L.A.). It is directed by Marcus Gautesen (Carboy [Short], This Means War) and written by Kamala Lopez.
Three down-on-their-luck guys plot a scheme to win ultimate cash by creating a scandalous news story involving the daughter of a major politician.
ATTENTION: The stills used for this review are in terrible low quality because they were pulled from the trailer on YouTube (which was uploaded in low resolution).
It's been a long while since I've gone out of my way to see a bad movie. Let alone a film that I'm sure no one has ever heard of.
"The $cheme," starring a young, pre-SNL Jimmy Fallon, is a flick about a couple of dudes looking to make money. By doing what? Plotting a scheme. Yep. It's as simple as that, yet the plot line of this feature couldn't be more convoluted. There's a lustful nun-to-be, a kooky reporter, and a love serum that comes from iguanas. Boy, are we in for a show!
I was given this movie as a birthday gift, purchased from a miscellaneous thrift store. I'm sure this is one of five DVD copies of the release, even though it was a cheap spend. And the situation of locating this film couldn't be more poignant. It's shot as if it was a high school project, with clunky dialogue, poor video quality, and a story full of random, silly sequences that hinge on a basic goal. One could relate watching/experiencing it to uncovering an archeological artifact. The movie represents great experimentation, and in watching some of the bonus material included with the DVD, it's evident that the filmmakers just wanted to have a good time.
Of course, what these guys consider to be funny is merely moronic. Because the story is so loose, many of the jokes feel shoehorned in. It's as if the punchlines were written before the set-up. You're subjected to an amalgamation of silly situations built on an even crazier narrative. It's early 2000's film fodder all the way, but at the very least it is entertaining.
Seeing a young Fallon brought some joy, and the role fit him well. Everyone in this performed with as much over-acting as you could receive, which seemed to suit the bonkers story. At least they knew what this was… despite some of the behind-the-scenes interviews suggesting that the filmmakers thought of this as comedic genius (FYI, it's not). It's at best an interesting artifact in the deep archives of cinema. With little to no expectations, I received what I thought, but was glad to have a few laughs. This is a better movie to watch with friends, maybe even create a drinking game for (take a shot for every tantrum Fallon's friend throws).
Overall, "The $cheme" is exactly what you'd figure it would be upon first glance. Fallon's never been a movie star, and this felt more like a favor than an artistic endeavor. The story is wild, ludicrous, and ends with nothing gained. There's a few laughs and a curiosity factor in watching everything unfold, but once you've seen it the first time… there's no need to watch it again. If you're looking for garbage cinema, this fits the bill. FINAL SCORE: 22%= Burnt Popcorn
This movie has been inducted into The Burnt Hall of Shame.

Q: Py/Tk - Tkinter: redirect STDOUT to window label text box I'm trying to get the stdout of the "securityonion" function to print to the window that that function spawns. How do I do this?
I've seen several other posts on the same subject but cannot wrap my head around how to achieve this. I'm not shooting for OO code in this scenario, if you try my entire script out, you'll see that things are launching splendidly. I just need stdout to appear in the window that I create in said function.
Sorry, big-time Tkinter noob.
from Tkinter import *
import Tkinter as tk
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
import os
import time
import sys
from scapy.all import *

def terminal():
    window = tk.Toplevel(root)
    window.title("Terminal")
    termf = Frame(window, height=700, width=700)
    termf.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=YES)
    wid = termf.winfo_id()
    os.system('xterm -into %d -geometry 700x700 -sb &' % wid)

def wazuh():
    pass

def securityonion():
    window = tk.Toplevel(root)
    window.resizable(0,0)
    window.title("Security Onion Bomb")
    list = open("dests.txt").readlines()
    for x in list:
        packet = IP(dst=x,src="10.10.10.10")/TCP(dport=999,sport=1234)/"iamhaxor"
        send(packet)
        print("A PACKET HAS BEEN SENT TO " + x)
        time.sleep(2)

def endpoint():
    pass

def help():
    pass

#setup main window
root = Tk()
img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("bluetools.png"))
panel = Label(root, image = img)
panel.pack(side = "bottom", fill = "both", expand = "yes")
root.title("Optometry")
menubar = Menu(root)
root.geometry("500x400")
root.resizable(0,0)
filemenu = Menu(menubar, tearoff=0)

# tools menu
filemenu.add_command(label="Launch Terminal", command=terminal)
filemenu.add_command(label="Wazuh Bomb", command=wazuh)
filemenu.add_command(label="Security Onion Bomb", command=securityonion)
filemenu.add_command(label="Endpoint Bomb", command=endpoint)
filemenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=root.quit)
menubar.add_cascade(label="Tools", menu=filemenu)

# help menu
helpmenu = Menu(menubar, tearoff=0)
helpmenu.add_command(label="About...", command=help)
menubar.add_cascade(label="Help", menu=helpmenu)
root.config(menu=menubar)
root.mainloop()

A: I did something like this once, where stdout + stderr needed to be redirected to a tkinter textbox. It was all object-oriented, but you should be able to extract the relevant functions. Here's the running code and here's the important part:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk, DISABLED, NORMAL, END

def __init__(self):
    tk.Tk.__init__(self)
    self.create_widgets()

    # If .buf exists, clear it.
    with open('.buf', 'w'):
        pass
    # Set stdout to output to .buf
    # This allows us to display a virtual terminal
    # that intercepts print(info) statements from imported classes
    sys.stdout = open(".buf", 'a')

    # Check and refresh buf -- see function for details
    self.read_std_out()

def create_widgets(self):
    ...
    info_box = ttk.Frame(self, borderwidth=1)
    self.info_text = tk.Text(info_box, bg="grey")

    self.info_text.insert(
        END, "This is printed at the beginning of the textbox!\n")
    self.info_text.config(state=DISABLED)
    self.info_text.grid(column=1, row=1)
    ...

def read_std_out(self):
    """Put stdout messages into the info_box. Called once, auto-refreshes"""
    sys.stdout.flush()  # Force write
    with open('.buf', 'r') as buf:
        read = buf.read()
        if read:  # Do not write if empty
            self.add_info(read)
    with open('.buf', 'w'):
        pass  # Clear file

    sys.stdout = open(".buf", 'a')
    self.after(1000, self.read_std_out)  # Call this again soon

def add_info(self, info):
    """Add informational message to info box. Use instead of print().
    arguments: (str) info
    effects: add line with info printed to screen in info box"""

    self.info_text.config(state=NORMAL)
    info = "> " + str(info) + "\n"
    self.info_text.insert(END, info)
    self.info_text.see(END)
    self.info_text.config(state=DISABLED)

I can't say I really still understand too much of what's going on, but hopefully some of my old code is useful.

A: Just replace the print("A PACKET HAS BEEN SENT TO " + x) with:
Label(window, text="A PACKET HAS BEEN SENT TO " + x).pack(fill="both", expand=True)

Baileyville Building Committee Looks at Priorities
Thursday, February 22, 2018 - 12:14pm
By Kaileigh Deacon
At the Baileyville Building Committee meeting on February 13th, committee members heard Superintendent William Braun's presentation on the estimates he received for the projects agreed upon during the last meeting. At the previous meeting the committee agreed on the priorities for what needs to be done at both schools for optimal operation for the students and staff.
The list of priorities consisted of 10 projects between the two schools, with some projects being necessary at both schools and others only being required at the one school. The committee's objective on Tuesday was to look at the estimates to determine what if anything could or should be left off the list for presentation to the school board for approval.
Each project was looked at individually and the estimated cost of the projected evaluated. To do all ten projects between the two schools, the cost would be an estimated $5.2 million. This amount is simply the cost of completing the projects and would not include any other upgrades to the schools' appearance.
Both schools require new roofing, with the exception of the dome for the WHS gymnasium. The current roofs for both schools are in the 25-27 year range which exceeds the expected life of the shingles. Replacing the roofs would help alleviate leaking issues and other issues associated with the leaks.
Other projects looked at include new heating systems for both schools, exterior work, entrance door replacement, lighting, drainage, and electrical upgrades. The high school would have new insulation, as well as a possible new kitchen/cafeteria. The elementary school would look into playground repair, which would include new equipment, drainage, and paving.
The elementary school playground project was submitted for approval for a Lowe's Improvement grant but was denied. The current playground has major issues with the equipment and its concrete anchors rising up out of the ground. The exposed concrete has been previously covered up by mats to prevent the kids from hitting it, but the lift is getting so high that the mats are starting to become a tripping hazard. The fill used to create the playground when it was constructed has started to give off an odor that makes the use of the playground and the back side of the school unpleasant. The area was tested, according to principal Mandy Belanger, and while nothing hazardous was found, the smell clings to students and teachers long after outside use.
The proposed addition of a cafeteria and new kitchen at the Woodland High School would be of benefit to both schools as meals for both are prepared at the high school. The larger kitchen would allow for easier meal preparation and storage. The addition of a cafeteria to the high school would help create a separate space from the gymnasium that could be used for school meals but also to host events and meetings as needed. Currently the gymnasium is used as the cafeteria and the constant moving around of tables on the rubber floors is starting to show.
Each of the committee members was given a sheet to rank what they felt were the priorities for the schools and then they were handed to Superintendent Braun. Braun will present the results of the committee's assessment to the Baileyville School Board at their next meeting. The next Building Committee will be scheduled based on their recommendations.
