Nonsense Word Fluency Fun! - The Resourceful Room!
First off let me Congratulate Alison Rose! She is the winner of three David Shannon books including his latest, Bugs in My Hair! Congrats Alison, I've sent you an email and hope to hear from you soon!!
Now for the Nonsense fluency fun! I have a group of first graders this year and I love working with them. After teaching 4th-6th all morning it can be refreshing to have the little ones who just love hands on activities and eat up everything I've thrown at them! Here's a look at how we've been practicing our nonsense word fluency!
This is from our sticky word hunt. I wrote words on different colored sticky notes and hid them around the room. I gathered everyone on the rug and said "find a greed word card", they found the words, brought them back and we read them. Then they decided if they were real or nonsense and placed them on the correct side of our sort chart. We looked again for blue words and finally yellow words.
These graphs are from our timed fluency practice activity you can find as a part of a new unit I have for sale HERE! We have word cards with various nonsense words on them and I time them reading the words to me. They record their number correct in one minute, then practice the words again. Each day we time ourselves and record our words read.
We used tongs to "grab" letters (bottle caps with letters written on them placed in a basket) and then made words from the letters. We read our words together and decided if they were real or nonsense.
We recorded our words on this chart, you can pick up HERE!
We used letter beads and put them on pipe cleaners to create words, then sorted the real from the nonsense.
Foam letters too! One of my little guys was so excited about the words he made, he really wanted me to get a picture!! Can you tell who his favorite characters are??!!
We did a nonsense and real word ball toss. I wrote words on ping pong balls, then placed two buckets one for real and one for nonsense words in front of the group. Each student got a ball, read the word, tossed it into the correct basket, and got back in line for another turn! At the end we recorded our real and nonsense words on THIS CHART!
We made words using these CVC word cards I got a few years ago online, unfortunately I couldn't find them now to share where I got them from. I glued them to cute animal print scrapbook paper and laminated so we can write on them and wipe it off.
I made these clip cards using some Martha Stewart Labels (that I got for free at our Teachers Store!! Love that place!!) and bright cards stock. I put one real word and one nonsense word on each card, then using these little apple clips I got in the dollar section in Michaels, they clipped the real word on each card!
This fun sort came to me one morning while I was thinking of getting out the fall decorations, I thought why not use trees to sort real and nonsense words. I cute the trees out of brown construction paper. I had these cute little owl sticky notes from Target's Dollar spot that worked perfectly. I wrote real and nonsense words on them and placed them on the table.
The students took turns choosing words and sorting them onto the correct tree! They loved it!!
This activity was easy and fun! I created this page of leaves with real and nonsense words on them, the students colored the real words yellow and the nonsense words orange. It turned out to be a great assessment for me. You can get this sheet HERE!
When we did assessments this week these little guys and gals hit it out of the park!! Most of them doubled their correct letter sound scores and all of them increased their whole words read!! Proud teacher I am!! I was so excited to see those scores! I look forward to continuing our adventure into reading!
Thank you so much, Amy! I got your email and replied. I'm super-duper excited beyond belief. I feel like I won the lottery!
Reading your post about the first graders makes me miss all the fun games I used to create for the little kids. I'm especially loving the idea of using the tongs. The owls with the real and nonsense words are just too cute!
I love all of these ideas! Thanks for sharing. I especially like the owls in the trees.

Spring comes to St. Petersburg at the very end of March and can be one of the best times of year for sightseeing and culture, before the tourist rush of the summer. The city comes alive fast after the long winter and, despite the residual cold, the inhabitants tend to be in a celebratory mood. The sight of the ice from Lake Ladoga flowing down the city's waterways out into the Gulf of Finland is quite spectacular.
Saint Petersburg is a world-class destination and Russia's second largest city, with a population of more than 5 million perched at the eastern tip of the Baltic Sea and the Neva River.
The city was formerly known as Petrograd and later Leningrad.
This is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on earth and virtually any building in the large historic centre, threaded with canals dotted with baroque bridges, can be considered an attraction—and indeed, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. This is a magical city, with a long list of major attractions. Its Hermitage Museum, housed in the Winter Palace of the Romanov Dynasty, is both one of the world's greatest and oldest collections of art, treasure, and antiquities, and one of its most beautiful buildings.
Once a desolate swamp, Russia's imperial capital is today a dazzling metropolis whose sheer grandeur never fails to amaze.
Whether you're cruising the elegant canals, crossing one of the 342 bridges in the city, or just watching them being raised over the mighty Neva River at night to allow ships to pass through, you're never far from water in St Petersburg, which has earned the city unsurprising comparisons to Venice. The similarities don't stop there, though: any wander in the historic centre will reveal canals lined by Italianate mansions and broken up by striking plazas adorned with baroque and neoclassical palaces.
St Petersburg is an almost unrivalled treasure trove of art and culture. You can spend days in the Hermitage, seeing everything from Egyptian mummies to Picassos, while the Russian Museum, spread over four sumptuous palaces, is perhaps the best collection of Russian art in the world. Add to this world-class ballet and opera at the Mariinsky Theatre, classical concerts at the Shostakovich Philharmonia and a slew of big-name music festivals over the summer months, and you won't be stuck for cultural nourishment. If contemporary art is more your thing, there's also the fantastic Erarta Museum, showcasing the best in modern Russian art, and a small but buzzing gallery scene.
Built from nothing by westward-looking Peter the Great, St Petersburg was from its inception to be a display of imperial Russia's growing status in the world. Fine-tuned by Peter's successors, who employed a host of European architects to add fabulous palaces and cathedrals to the city's layout, St Petersburg grew to be the Romanovs' showcase capital and Russia's first great, modern city, a status it has retained despite the capital moving back to Moscow following the revolution. Despite all that history has thrown at it, St Petersburg still feels every bit the imperial capital, a city largely frozen in time.
The city's White Nights are legendary: those long summer evenings when the northern sun barely dips below the horizon. Revelry begins in May, when spring finally comes to the city and parks are filled with flowering trees, and peaks in mid-June, when the sky doesn't get dark, festivals pack out concert halls and the entire city seems to be partying over the brief but glorious summer. But don't worry – even when the skies are grey and the ground covered in snow, St Petersburg's rich culture still dazzles and delights.
Saint Petersburg is a world-class destination and Russia's second largest city, with a population of more than 5 million perched at the eastern tip of of the Baltic Sea and the Neva River.

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.


Glenn Penny's work explores the relationships between Europeans and non-Europeans from the eighteenth century to the present. He is particularly interested in Germans' broad engagement with the wider world. His first book, Objects of Culture: Ethnology and Ethnographic Museums in Imperial Germany (2003), was a major intervention in the history of anthropology. It was the first comparative study of German ethnographic museums as well as the first in-depth analysis of the international market of material culture that took shape during the late nineteenth century. His second book, Kindred by Choice: Germans and American Indians since 1800 (2013), explores the striking sense of affinity for American Indians that has permeated German culture for two centuries. It shows how those affinities stem from German polycentrism, notions of tribalism, a devotion to resistance, a longing for freedom, and a melancholy sense of shared fate. It also uses those interconnections over the longue durée to directly engage the relationship between continuity and rupture in the metanarratives of modern German history and to underscore the perils of historians' reliance on political periodizations. Listen to a New Books in History podcast interview regarding this book here.
Recently, as a fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin (2017-18), Glenn completed In Humboldt's Shadow: A Tragic History of German Ethnology (C. H. Beck: forthcoming fall 2019). It directly engages the public controversies swirling around ethnological museums in Europe today. Written for a broad audience, it explains why there are more than a half million non-European objects in the Berlin Ethnological Museum and millions more in similar museums across Germany. It explains how those objects came to German cities; what the people who collected those objects thought they were doing; and what we could and should be doing with them today. Ultimately, it argues that German ethnological museums are treasure troves filled with the traces of human histories that have yet to be written, and it pleas for the objects to be released from their long confinement and the museums returned to their original focus on the production of knowledge.
Glenn is currently pursuing a set of projects on German Communities in North and South America, including a focused study of German interconnections with Guatemala and an analysis of the networked German spaces produced and preserved by German schools in Latin America from the 1880s through the twentieth century. A central goal of these projects is to bring European and Latin American historiographies into dialog. They are also meant to re-spatialize our understanding of German history and destabilize the prominent role of states in our historical narratives.
In 2000, Glenn Penny's dissertation, Cosmopolitan Visions and Municipal Displays, won the Fritz Stern Prize from the German Historical Institute. His first book received awards from the American Anthropological Association and the European Section of the Southern Historical Association. His second book was named a 2015 Choice Outstanding Academic Title and received an award from the German Academic Exchange Service--Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD). Recently, Glenn was recognized for Distinguished Achievement in Arts and Humanities Research by the Office to the Vice President for Research and Economic Development. Glenn has been awarded fellowships from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Philosophical Society, the Freie Universität in Berlin, the Frtiz-Thyssen Foundation, the George A. and Eliza Gardner Howard Foundation at Brown University, the Center for European Studies at Harvard University, the Center for Advanced Studies in Munich, the German Academic Exchange, the Social Science Research Council, and the Institute for European History in Mainz. He received his PhD from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1999.

[Satnews] Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS) announces their SAT Corporation subsidiary will provide expanded end-to-end satellite RF monitoring, interference detection, geolocation and mitigation services to the Joint Functional Component Command for Space (JFCC Space).
A component of the U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), JFCC Space is responsible for executing continuous, integrated space operations to deliver theater and global effects in support of national and combatant commander objectives. This includes protecting the commercial satellite bandwidth leased by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to support a variety of critical mission needs such as reconnaissance, surveillance and broadband communications between commanders and field units.
Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), as USSTRATCOM's service component, has renewed investment in Space Situational Awareness activities and protecting the overall space environment. Additionally, new initiatives such as the Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center (JICSpOC) and the Commercial Integration Cell (CIC) have focused on a robust government and commercial partnership. Kratos' Spectral Services team is an integral part of implementing this collaborative effort in addressing the contested and congested RF Environment.
Kratos has been tasked with end-to-end protection of the commercially-leased bandwidth for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM). Kratos will continue to leverage their multi-million dollar investment of strategically positioned sensors to expand the range of services they have been providing to JFCC Space.
Kratos' Monics® sensor infrastructure covers a majority of the fixed satellite service beams and uses state-of-the-art technology to take high-speed, accurate measurements of critical satellite systems. Kratos' globally deployed monitoring and geolocation assets will detect and locate the source of any intentional or unintentional interference. Kratos, in partnership with JFCC Space's Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) and Army Strategic Command (ARSTRAT) will work to resolve interference events that impact critical DoD missions. This award represents an expansion of an existing services contract to support more comprehensive coverage and improve collaboration.
According to Greg Caicedo, Vice President and General Manager of SAT Corporation, "Kratos utilizes several of its products to deliver these services to JFCC Space, including Monics, the industry's leading carrier monitoring system; satID®, the most accurate geolocation solution; and Compass® Monitoring & Control (M&C) that monitors the health and performance of all devices supporting the services. The end-to-end services are supported by Kratos' 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, manned by expert RF analysts."
"As military communications increasingly rely on commercial payloads, newer, lower cost methods of providing resiliency to interference are fostering the convergence of DoD and commercial protected communications applications," said Phil Carrai, President of Kratos' Technology and Training Solutions Division. "Kratos' spectrum monitoring and geolocation products and services continue to play the lead role in that convergence with new solutions for RF management and protection."

An Aurora of a Different Color
Meet STEVE, a purple and green, low-latitude, aurora-like phenomenon whose inner workings were uncovered with the help of citizen scientists.
Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE) paints a green and purple streak across the sky from the bottom left to top right in the image above. In this image, this rare aurora-like event is crisscrossed by the dusty band of the Milky Way, which curves from the top left to bottom right.
STEVE, captured, in this instance, last year at Childs Lake in Manitoba, Canada, is not an aurora in the traditional sense: Instead of the oval-shaped, blue/green glow of more common types of auroras, STEVE appears as a thin, purple streak dangling a wavy, green picket fence structure. STEVEs always appear at the same time as normal auroras, but they occur at lower latitudes, in an area of the atmosphere called the subauroral zone.
Getting to Know STEVE
In recent years, dozens of STEVEs were cataloged by citizen scientists and shared in online forums. They called the phenomenon "Steve" simply for fun within their own group. In 2016, they shared their collection of Steve photos with the scientists running the Aurorasaurus citizen science project that tracks auroras through tweets and individual reports. The scientists eventually specially crafted the acronym "STEVE" to give a nod to the original name and its creators.
New insight into the origin and behavior of this rare atmospheric event became possible when, in 2016, a team of amateur and professional scientists used ground- and space-based cameras to image STEVE and a simultaneous normal aurora. By combining all of the available images, the team discovered that STEVEs and auroras form from a similar process—charged particles interacting with Earth's magnetic field—but the particles that create STEVEs travel along magnetic field lines much closer to Earth than those that make ordinary auroras. That's why STEVEs occur at lower latitudes than auroras.
In addition, the scientists were excited to discover that STEVEs are the visual counterpart to subauroral ion drift (SAID), a phenomenon studied since the 1970s. Finding out that SAIDs can have an accompanying visible feature suggests that there may be more going on in the subauroral zone of the atmosphere than scientists had thought, according to the scientific paper on this discovery, which the team published in Science Advances on 14 March.
The team is working with NASA on an ongoing campaign to collect more professional and amateur photos of STEVE, hoping to better understand these rare lights in the sky.

Your new baking stone is made from cordierite, an FDA-approved industrial refractory material used in commercial deck ovens. Our cordierite baking stones will resist thermal shock (i.e., cracking when cold water hits a hot stone) to temperatures in excess of 2300°F/1250°C, and possess both superior heat conduction and heat retention properties. With the proper care and treatment, your new stone will give you years, if not decades, of service.
Unwrap the stone and rinse it thoroughly under running water to remove any dust, residue and loose cordierite particles.
Place the stone in a cold oven and heat it to the oven's maximum temperature, typically 500-550°F/260-290°C for 60-90 minutes, then turn off the oven and let it cool down slowly. Your stone is now ready for baking.
Over time, your stone will develop stains. To remove them, use a scraper to carefully dislodge any burned-on material and, if possible, run your stone through your oven's self-clean cycle, or hold at maximum temp for 1-2 hours.
If necessary, rinse the stone with plain water to remove surface stains and debris. NEVER, under any circumstances, use soap, detergent or oil on your stone, as they will soak into the cordierite and render it unfit for baking.
Your new bagel boards are made from aromatic Western white cedar, which is naturally resistant to mold, rot and insects; and jute, a natural fiber. These boards are a shorter version of the boards that the old-school New York bakers used to make sure that their bagels baked evenly and didn't come out of the oven with flat bottoms.
Wet the boards thoroughly, especially the jute fabric side.
After you boil your bagels, put them down on the fabric side. If you top your bagels, apply the topping and then arrange the bagels seed-side down.
Put the boards directly on your stone, making sure you leave one board's width on one side so you have flipping room. Bake the bagels at 450-475°F/ 230-245°C for 3 minutes.
Use a pair of pliers, hot pad or oven mitt to grip the board and flip the bagels upside down (or right-side up) directly onto your stone or other baking surface. Bake for another 12-15 minutes, until they reach desired color.
After use, rinse the boards well with plain water, let them air dry for 24 hours and store in a cool, dry place.

Over 1,400 Bookings for 2020 Honda BR-V Within a Month
It seems that the new 2020 Honda BR-V has been well received by the Malaysian car buyers with over 1,400 bookings recorded since its launch last June.
According to Honda Malaysia, more than 85% bookings were for the range-topping V variant which comes with additional features such as 7-inch display audio, paddle shifter, leather seats with red finishing and red stitching on the gear knob.
The Central region made up 42% of the total bookings and more than 24% of the bookings were for the Modern Steel Metallic.
The 7-seater MPV retains the 1.5L SOHC i-VTEC engine coupled with Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) that makes 120 PS and 145 Nm of torque.
Check out the press release for more information:
Honda Malaysia (or the Company) today announced that the New BR-V has recorded more than 1,400 bookings within a month since its launch. The impressive record is attributed to the stylishness of the Bold Runabout Vehicle (BR-V), which integrates SUV design with MPV spacious interior to result in an attractive 7-Seater that can meet family's daily needs. Since the BR-V was first introduced in Malaysia in 2017, it has quickly become one of the most popular 7-Seaters in the market with more than 32,600 units sold.
The New BR-V received high demand from customers in the Central region, which translated to 42% of the total bookings. Of the two variants available, over 85% units of booking were for the V variant, while the E variant made up the balance of the total number of bookings. More than 24% of the bookings were for Modern Steel Metallic, which makes it the favourite colour among the New BR-V owners.
Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Toichi Ishiyama said, "As Malaysia is now in the recovery phase, most of the businesses have resumed operations and are adapting to the new normal with strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) put in place. With the reopening of our dealerships, we are also pleased to see that our customers are visiting the dealerships for inquiry, car purchases and services. We would like to emphasise that all Honda dealers are safe to visit with the necessary precautions such as temperature screening, hand sanitizing and crowd control. We are working hard to ensure a clean and safe environment that can provide our customers with peace of mind when visiting Honda dealerships. We also encourage our customers and associates to practise social distancing at all times. Last month, Honda Malaysia announced the price reduction for Honda cars following the announcement of sales tax exemption by the Malaysian Government, in which the price of the New BR-V was lowered. In addition to helping to stimulate the country's economy and the local automotive industry, this exemption provides a great incentive for people who wish to purchase a car as the nation begins to recover from the impact of COVID-19."
The exterior of the New BR-V received several upgrades comprising a New Front Grille, New Front Bumper with Lower Bumper Garnish, New Front Fog Light Garnish as well as a New 16-inch Dual-Tone Alloy Wheel Design. It also has a refreshed rear design with a New Shark Fin Antenna and New Rear Bumper with Lower Bumper Garnish. Known as a range-topper, the New BR-V is equipped with the highest engine in its class – a 1.5L SOHC i VTEC engine coupled with Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) that produces 120PS of power. To top it off, the New BR-V is fitted with Paddle Shift* that offers smoother and more exhilarating driving experience.
The Full 7-Seater Crossover also comes with the biggest trunk space at 223 litres when all seats are up and 539 litres when the third-row seats are folded down. Multiple configurations were also incorporated in the New BR-V, which are the 60:40 One Touch Tilt & Tumble in the second row and 50:50 Tilt & Full Tumble in the third row. Widely acclaimed for its versatility and spaciousness, the New BR-V is an ideal 7-Seater that makes it even more fun to travel with family as well as perfect for daily commute.
Interior-wise, the driver and passengers can enjoy maximum comfort in a pleasing cabin space featuring dashing new leather seats with Red Finishing in the V variant. These enhancements have further elevated the attractiveness of the New BR-V, making it a family car with a sportier and trendier appearance.
In conjunction with the introduction of the New BR-V, Honda Malaysia also launched two Community Relief Campaigns – "Be Kind with BR-V" and "Honda Dealer Donation Drive", to aid COVID-19 relief programmes as well as to help affected communities in the surrounding areas of Honda dealers.
"Honda Malaysia truly appreciates our customers' support for our Community Relief Campaigns. As a little help goes a long way, we are certainly heartened by the generosity and kindness of the customers who visited the dealers with their donations for the affected communities. Malaysians are welcome to donate the basic necessities at any nearby Honda dealerships as the significant campaign is still ongoing until 31st August 2020. We would also like to thank our customers who purchase the New BR-V, of which a portion of the proceeds from every unit sold will be channeled to the COVID-19 relief programmes," Mr. Ishiyama added.
The ongoing "Honda Dealer Donation Drive" campaign has been receiving favourable response from Malaysians and at the same time, Honda dealers have started to deliver the donations to their surrounding communities which have benefited many individuals and families in the country so far. Honda Malaysia would like to express their sincerest gratitude to all 101 dealerships who are participating in the campaigns to support and give back to community during these trying times.

Q: How to find my own contact on iOS programmatically? I know getting your own device's phone number has been a hot topic in the past, and I've seen some tricks to trying to find it.
In my application, I have already been granted CNContactStore permission, so is it possible to query for my own contact?  I noticed that in newer iOS versions the contact list will show my contact and number at the top of the contact list.  If a user has identified their own contact, is it possible for an application with contact permission to find that entry?
I've seen some hacks of searching the contacts for a name based on the iPhone name, etc, but I was hoping that an application with explicit permission should be able to be smarter about finding owner information.
Is this possible in iOS 9.1+?

Small businesses and contractors are likely familiar with financial budgeting. By using your actual earnings and fiscal information from past years, you can get a good idea of what your expenses will be in the future. Financial forecasting is a little different. Instead of expenses, you are estimating your potential earnings, or even loss of earnings, to get an estimate of what your tax liability will be in the coming year. As a small business owner or independent contractor, you likely have quarterly contributions, so forecasting is important and necessary.
The country's tax system is a "pay as you go" method. Employees on payroll get help from employers who contribute taxes for them through paycheck withholding. If you work for yourself or own a business, you are responsible for your own quarterly contributions. Payments must be made around the 15th of April, June, September, and the 18th of January each year. Since the dates can change, it's important to know the exact date as you can be penalized for missing a quarterly contribution.
How will you know how much to pay quarterly? It's important to project your liability quarterly. Rather than going off of the money you have in the bank currently, you can look at historical performance and profit from quarter to quarter. The IRS provides a sample Schedule C form that you can fill out that will tell you what your tax liability is likely to be for planning purposes. The form considers business expenses, which you can deduct from your yearly income to reduce your tax liability. Once you have your projected tax liability, you can find the average tax for the tax bracket you'll fall into. An accountant at HD Davis can help you research the federal and state tax brackets and work with you to find an accurate tax liability estimate.
Projecting tax liability quarterly is critical when it comes to saving money for your taxes. Going just off of your estimated budget might end up with you not saving enough. Saving more than you think you will contribute is not a problem. This is similar to a payroll employee contributing more than they need to and receiving a refund at tax time. Any excess funds in your tax savings account will be like a refund for you or your business. An accountant can advise ways to invest or save these excess funds in ways that can help reduce your tax liability for the next year.
Forecasting tax liability can be a confusing and tricky thing to do. If you want your quarterly contributions to be as accurate as possible, contact the professionals at HD Davis CPAs to help you get a good estimate of what your tax burden will be.

Florida State women's basketball: Impressive second half sparks 78-71 win at No. 13 UNC
FSU Sports Information
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Down by six at halftime, Florida State Women's Basketball used a strong second half where it out-scored No. 13 North Carolina, 43-30, to pull out a 78-71 victory on the road in front of a raucous Carmichael Arena crowd on Thursday night.
For the first time since the 2019-20 season, the Seminoles (13-2, 2-0) move to 2-0 in ACC play. It was FSU's highest-ranked win since defeating second-ranked Louisville, 68-59, on Feb. 21, 2021, under the guidance of then-Interim Head Coach Brooke Wyckoff.
Like last game vs. Miami, sophomore forward Makayla Timpson had another dominant second half and finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds for her sixth double-double of the season. Timpson made several big buckets in a back-and-forth fourth quarter, often being the go-to player down the stretch. The Edison, Ga., native also had five blocked shots.

Freshman Ta'Niya Latson added 21 points along with six assists and eight rebounds. She paired with Timpson to form a dynamic duo late in the game and was a big part in FSU out-scoring UNC 20-10 in a dominant third quarter.
FSU out-rebounded the Tar Heels (9-3, 0-1), 51-41, on the glass and had 20 offensive rebounds. FSU had 37 second-chance points and out-scored UNC off the bench, 21-4.
Graduate forward Valencia Myers was part of that inner toughness for the Seminoles, making big hustle plays and finishing with seven points and nine rebounds in 13 minutes.
UNC started hot in the second quarter and wound up taking a 41-35 halftime. FSU trailed 32-23 with 4:26 remaining before the half, but the Seminoles responded with a 10-2 run that included several hustle plays by Myers to get FSU extra possessions. Despite some key players battling two-foul situations, FSU hung in right before the half.
Both teams played a highly entertaining first quarter that ended at 22-22, spurred by a late run from the Tar Heels. Timpson proved to be a tough matchup 1-on-1 and had six first-quarter points along with four rebounds. FSU held a 14-8 advantage on the glass and out-scored UNC 12-2 in second-chance points to start. A layup by Mariana Valenzuela gave the Seminoles a 17-10 lead with 4:23 left, but the Tar Heels finished the quarter on a 12-5 run.
FSU came out a different team in the second half, holding UNC to just 4-of-18 from the field in the third quarter. While both teams often traded buckets in the fourth, the Seminoles got the stops they needed late in the game to seal up the program's 31st Top 15 win.
The Seminoles return on Sunday when they face Georgia Tech on the road at 2 p.m. on ACC Network Extra.

Man injured in rollover
Early icy conditions cause numerous accidents
A Hillsboro man was injured Thursday morning after the vehicle he was driving clipped a parked vehicle and rolled over on Walnut Street in Hillsboro.
Ralph Michael, 87, Hillsboro, was driving a Toyota RAV4 westbound on West Walnut Street at 10:37 a.m. when the vehicle drifted to the right side of the road, clipped the left back end of a parked 2008 Subaru Impreza owned by Steve O'Connor, 29, of Hillsboro, with the right front part of the Toyota, causing the vehicle to roll over onto its top, according to the Hillsboro Police Department.
The Toyota came to a rest in the middle of West Walnut Street near South Elm Street.
Michael was transported by the Paint Creek Joint EMS/Fire District to Highland District Hospital.
He was cited for failure to maintain reasonable control.
The police department said weather conditions did not have anything to do with the accident, but both the Highland County Sheriff's Office and Wilmington Ohio State Highway Patrol Post said they were kept busy with early morning accidents due to slick road conditions and black ice.
The sheriff's office said it took reports of five or six accidents, but all the injuries from them were minor. A spokesperson said he was sure there were more accidents that were not reported to the sheriff's office.
"I think it was black ice. It snowed, melted, then froze," the spokesperson said.
The state patrol said it did not investigate any accidents in Highland County.
"We got some calls asking if we were available, but we didn't send anyone down there due to multiple crashes in Clinton County," an OSP spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said there were no serious accidents in Clinton County and that most of them were related to vehicles sliding off the road due to icy conditions and "a lot of black ice."
But there were serious accidents elsewhere is southwestern Ohio.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said two people were killed in a chain reaction crash Thursday morning that shut down northbound Interstate 75 in Butler County's West Chester Township, about 23 miles north of Cincinnati.
The Butler County Coroner's office arrived on scene and the victims were identified as Rodney J. Bartleson Jr., 34, of Cincinnati, and Marvin Eugene Hunter, 43, of Cincinnati.
Accidents caused lane closures in the southbound lanes of the interstate as well.
Roads were being described Thursday morning as sheets of ice.
The Dayton Daily News reported there were closures of roads, freeway ramps and interstates throughout the region.
The state patrol said a passenger in a semi-trailer that collided with another semi early Thursday during whiteout conditions on I-75 died. That accident occurred near Tipp City, 15 miles north of Dayton.

Our Research Commitment
Last year alone, LLS committed $31.7 million in research dedicated to myeloma, spanning the most pioneering science including immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine
"Great progress has been made in multiple myeloma research. I predict soon we will see CAR T-cell immunotherapy approved to treat this disease. LLS continues to support research efforts that will help us better understand multiple myeloma resulting in better and more effective treatments."
Louis J. DeGennaro, Ph.D., LLS President and CEO
ADVANCING THE MOST PROMISING MYELOMA RESEARCH
We are accelerating the most cutting edge research in myeloma to improve outcomes and care for patients.
C. Ola Landgren, MD, PhD. of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
C. Ola Landgren, MD, PhD, is the attending chief of the Myeloma Service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and a professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, NY.
Dr. Landgrenhas designed and conducted a series of studies to define biological mechanisms of transformation from myeloma precursor disease to multiple myeloma. He has launched several early interventional clinical trials for patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma with the aim to delay or prevent transformation. He aims to eradicate minimal residual disease (MRD), small traces of cancer cells that remain after therapy is completed.
LLS funding has allowed him to develop the first studies ever done with targeted immune PET imaging to show pockets of residual disease that would otherwise be missed. He credits LLS for continued funding to develop and support a clinical trial to help move treatments from the lab to patients faster.
Madhav Dhodapkar, MBBS, of Winship Cancer Institute, Emory University
Madhav Dhodapkar, M.D., of Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, Atlanta, leads a multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary LLS Specialized Center of Research team focused on advancing new immunotherapies for patients with multiple myeloma. Their goal is to improve the effectiveness of an investigational treatment called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy, that engineers the patient's T cells to find and kill the cancer cells. The CAR-T they are studying targets a protein called BCMA found on the surface of all myeloma cells. BCMA-targeting therapies are showing tremendous promise for treating myeloma patients in clinical trials but many patients eventually relapse. Dhodapkar's group is trying to undertand the mechanisms that cause some patients to be resistant to the treatment. They are also investigating the use of other immune cells called natural killer T cells as an alternative to T cells in the CARs. His team includes researchers at Emory as well as Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle.
Leading Myeloma Researchers around the U.S.
Dr. Shanmugam is researching an innovative targeted therapy called venetoclax, which is showing promise in multiple myeloma and has already proven to be a game changer for some patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia.
Dr. Ghobrial is focused on transforming the treatment of myeloma through the early detection of precursor blood conditions. Her visionary research aims to uncover treatment strategies that can prevent these conditions from progressing to more serious cancers.
Dr. Yu is developing a novel immunotherapy called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy for myeloma. This revolutionary therapy supercharges a patient's own immune cells to find and attack cancer.
Dr. Orlowski is leading a world-class team of researchers to develop new immunotherapeutic and targeted approaches for the treatment of patients with high-risk subtypes of myeloma.

Chimp attack victim reportedly reaches deal to settle lawsuit seeking $50 million
Nov. 29, 2012, 10:54 PM UTC
By Dave Collins, Associated Press and Dave Collins, Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. -- Lawyers for a woman mauled by a chimpanzee in Connecticut have agreed to a settle a lawsuit against the estate of the primate's now-dead owner, according to court documents obtained Thursday by The Associated Press. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Attack victim Charla Nash's brother filed the lawsuit on her behalf in 2009 in state Superior Court seeking $50 million in damages from chimp owner Sandra Herold, who died in 2010. Nash was blinded, lost both hands and underwent a face transplant after being mauled outside Herold's home in Stamford in February 2009.
Lawyers for Nash's twin brother, Michael Nash, accused executors of Herold's estate earlier this week of withholding information needed to complete the settlement, according to a court document obtained by the AP.
An attorney for Herold's estate said Thursday that his office has since provided the information and the settlement is nearly finalized. He declined to elaborate and said the settlement will be confidential.
"The case is resolved," said Brenden Leydon, a Stamford lawyer representing Herold's estate. "I think it was a fair compromise on all sides."
Leydon had argued that Herold's estate couldn't be sued because Charla Nash was an employee of Herold and any claims were a worker's compensation matter.
Messages were left Thursday for Michael Nash and his lawyer. Charla Nash's other brother, Stephen Nash, declined to comment.
Chimp attack victim speaks about new face, new hopes
Charla Nash, 57, now lives in a nursing home outside of Boston. She had gone to Herold's home on the day of the attack to help lure Herold's 200-pound chimpanzee, Travis, back into her home. But the animal went berserk and ripped off Nash's nose, lips, eyelids and hands before being shot to death by a police officer.
Travis had starred in TV commercials for Old Navy and Coca-Cola when he was younger and made an appearance on the "The Maury Povich Show." The chimpanzee was the constant companion of the widowed Herold and was fed steak, lobster and ice cream. The chimp could eat at the table, drink wine from a stemmed glass, use the toilet and dress and bathe himself.
A month after the mauling, Nash's family sued Herold for alleged negligence and recklessness. The lawsuit alleged Herold knew Travis was dangerous but failed to confine him to a secure area and allowed him to roam her property. It also claimed Herold gave the chimp medication that exacerbated his "violent propensities."
Behind the scenes with the real Charla Nash
Travis had previously bitten another woman's hand and tried to drag her into a car in 1996, bit a man's thumb two years later and escaped from her home and roamed downtown Stamford for hours being captured in 2003, according to the lawsuit.
Nash's family is also trying to sue the state for $150 million but is awaiting permission from the state claims commissioner. The state is immune from lawsuits unless they're allowed by the claims commissioner.
Nash wants to sue the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, which she holds responsible for not seizing the animal before the attack despite a state biologist's warning it was dangerous.
"I hope and pray that the commissioner will give me my day in court," Charla Nash told reporters following a hearing in August before Claims Commissioner J. Paul Vance Jr. She added that she hopes "this never happens to anyone else again. It is not nice."
Court documents obtained by the AP on Thursday show the settlement between Nash's family and Herold's estate was approved Sept. 25 by the Stamford Probate Court and the two sides met Nov. 13 to finalize it.
A lawyer for Michael Nash, Matthew Newman, said in a court document filed Tuesday that since Nov. 13, "executors have failed and refused to provide information necessary to complete the settlement."
Leydon said Thursday that Newman now has the needed information.

Following motions by media groups, an appellate judge ordered the release of transcripts and other documents from the trial of David Westerfield, who was convicted of killing a young girl.
Jan. 17, 2003 — An appellate judge in San Diego last week ordered the release of thousands of pages of documents sealed during the trial of David Westerfield, the man convicted of killing 7-year-old Danielle van Dam.
Some 1,200 pages of documents were subsequently released Jan. 9 and Jan. 13, following the appeal by the Society of Professional Journalists and The San Diego Union-Tribune, which, along with several other media organizations, sought access to the information throughout the case.
Superior Court Judge William Mudd initially refused release the documents, saying it would compromise the defendant's right to a fair trial, but the Court of Appeals in San Diego ruled that Mudd must release the information.
The material released ranged from transcripts of closed-door court hearings to motions regarding potential evidence. Also included was the transcript from an interrogation of Westerfield by police officers who later were accused of misconduct and which was not admitted in court.
"I think it's just important for the public to see the entire trial and how decisions are made," said media attorney Guylin Cummins.
The district attorney was running for office and because of problems with another murder trial, the public understandably was critical of the prosecution, Cummins noted.
"Anytime the public is footing the bill, there's an issue of public importance," Cummins said.
The media organizations did not get all the materials they requested. The judge denied release of information about the cost to taxpayers of proceedings as well as transcripts of bench conferences and side conferences.


On behalf of Law Offices of Keith E. Holloway posted in Child Custody on Monday, June 6, 2016.
Every child in America looks forward to the three months off school they receive during summer vacation. For more than 90 days, families struggle to manage their child's new schedule and the many summer activities that this break brings. For divorced families, this change can create even more challenges. Fortunately, by working together or with an attorney, divorced parents may be able to request a short-term modification to their custody order to help address any scheduling issues summer vacation creates.
For newly divorced parents, managing work, school and their custody schedule may be somewhat overwhelming. Throw in three months of no daytime childcare and you have chaos. What was once a barely manageable schedule now has become completely impossible. This, however, does not always have to be the case. When parents are willing to work together or have an attorney to help them, they may be able to better address summer break scheduling issues by making a modification to their custody arrangement.
Depending on your child custody and placement order, there may be room for improvement over summer vacation. Perhaps one parent's work schedule allows them to be home certain days of the week, while the other parent is available at other times. Making short-term changes to address each parent's availability can alleviate the stress of summer vacation while not imposing too many changes on children.
Not all family court orders are permanent or long-term. However, if you are just beginning the divorce process, working with an experienced attorney may help you develop a parenting plan that adequately addresses a child's ever-evolving schedule to include changes for summer vacation. If you are currently divorced and have a custody arrangement that does not take into account summer break, your attorney may be able to help request a short-term modification to child custody.


As falling prices for LED lighting systems drive up adoption rates of LED lamps in the coming years, the adoption of intelligent lighting controls is also expected to accelerate. Intelligent lighting controls, including occupancy sensors, photosensors, and networked controls, offer building owners and managers the same central monitoring and management capabilities for lighting systems that they are accustomed to having for their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
According to a recent report from Navigant Research, worldwide revenue from occupancy sensors, photosensors, and lighting network control gear will grow from US$ 1.1 billion annually in 2013 to nearly US$ 2.7 billion by 2020.
Helping to drive this transformation are increasingly stringent building codes, which have begun requiring controls for more and more applications. In both the United States and Europe, new regulations will set a high bar for overall lighting energy reduction, according to the report. These reductions will require the adoption of occupancy sensors, photosensors, and other intelligent lighting technologies.
The report, "Intelligent Lighting Controls for Commercial Buildings", analyzes the global market for lighting controls for commercial buildings, including both new construction and retrofits. Sensors, ballasts, drivers, switches, relays, controllers, and communications technologies are examined, with a specific focus on networked lighting controls.
The report details the market drivers for these technologies, as well as barriers to adoption, and includes profiles of select industry players. Market forecasts for unit shipments and revenue for each type of equipment, segmented by region and building type, extend through 2020.
Forecasts are also broken out for control equipment in buildings with networked lighting controls, as well as for wireless lighting controls and LED drivers. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the Navigant Research website.

Construction cases against occupiers and an employer | Thompsons Solicitors
Law Bulletin - September 2007 Liability
Construction cases against occupiers and an employer
The claimant was employed by the first defendant. He was sent to a job in a building leased by the second defendant where they were having a meter installed. It was occupied by the fourth and fifth defendants. When he arrived, the meter was out of reach and he used a ladder kept in a room at the building. He still could not quite reach and fell over and was injured.
The Judge found both his employer and one of the building tenants could be held in breach of different Regulations.
It was held:
1. His employer was in breach of the Construction Regulations 1996 because it was reasonably practicable to provide their employee with a suitable ladder.
2. They had also breached Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998( PUWER 98) . The duty was on them to provide safe access to anywhere their employee went and safe work equipment for his use. Leaving him to choose or obtain work equipment for himself did not absolve them of the consequences of their breaches of regulations.
However, one of the occupiers of the building did have control of the room in which the ladder was housed and must have been aware that the ladder may have been used for access to the meter and, once it was used, it was work equipment over which they had control.
So, they had a duty under the PUWER 1998 regulations to ensure the ladder was suitable for the purpose for which it was used and the occupiers should pay 25 per cent towards the claimant's damages.
The claimant was found one third to blame for the manner in which he had carried out the work.

Illustrating the impasse between the world's two largest economies, a diplomat involved in negotiating an APEC leaders' declaration told Reuters trade was a sticking point, and the host nation was having trouble finding language acceptable to all.
Pence took direct aim at Xi's flagship Belt and Road program, which China has been promoting to Pacific nations at APEC, saying countries should not accept debt that compromised their sovereignty.
"We do not offer constricting belt or a one-way road," Pence told the APEC CEO summit, a precursor to the official leaders' meeting, held on a cruise liner tethered in Port Moresby's Fairfax Harbour.
China's efforts to win friends in the resource-rich Pacific have been watched warily by the traditionally influential powers in the region - Australia and the United States.
"It does not exclude anyone. It is not an exclusive club closed to non-members, nor is it a trap as some people have labeled it."
"Do not accept foreign debt that could compromise your sovereignty. Protect your interest. Preserve your independence. And just like America, always put your country first," he said.
Soon after Pence spoke, Australia said it was joining the United States and Japan in a partnership that would help countries in the region develop infrastructure priorities, a possible alternative to China's Belt and Road.
The plan comes after China emerged as a possible developer of the deep-water port, which analysts say could impact the West's ability to navigate in the Pacific while offering China a site close to U.S. bases in Guam.
"The United States of America will continue to uphold the freedom of the seas and the skies, which are so essential to our prosperity," Pence said.
In a meeting that could irritate Beijing, Pence had talks with Taiwan's envoy to APEC, Morris Chang.
Beijing considers Taiwan a wayward province of "one China", ineligible for state-to-state relations, and has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under its control.
Despite Taiwan's lack of diplomatic recognition by the majority of countries, APEC allows it to participate as an economic, rather than political, entity.
Pence later told reporters traveling with him he would "carry back" a Taiwan proposal for a free trade agreement.
Xi told delegates that the shadow of "protectionism and unilateralism" hung over global growth and erecting barriers and cutting ties was short-sighted and doomed to fail.
"The United States though will not change course until China changes its ways," Pence said.
Sebastián Piñera, the president of Chile, which will host next year's APEC, called on the two powers to find a resolution.
"This is a very good opportunity to ask the U.S. and China to find ways to end their tariff and trade war which benefits no one," he told the forum.
"Both countries will have to change course."
