The hhgregg retail store in Anderson and everywhere else will soon permanently shut their doors.
The store's employees were informed Friday that the Indianapolis-based chain of appliance and electronics stores, which has been struggling financially for more than two years, will close all its remaining 132 stores in the next two months.
All stores are expected to close by the end of May.
"All we know is that we'll close when we've sold everything," said Daniel Ellenburg, manager of the Anderson store.
The company employs 3,700 workers in 19 states, including 11 at the Anderson store on Station Drive.
The store is in the process of liquidating assets, offering 10- to 30-percent discounts. Terms of the store closing sale will be that all sales are final, except in the case of defective merchandise. Such returns must be made within seven days.
In an email to employees Friday, hhgregg President and CEO Bob Riesbeck said "we were unsuccessful in our plan to secure a viable buyer of the business on a going-concern basis within the expedited timeline set by our creditors," forcing an end to the chain after 62 years of business.
The chain also operates stores in Greenville and Spartanburg. A fourth store in the region, in Asheville, was among the 88 stores that closed on March 6, when the company hoped that a restructuring under Chapter 11 bankruptcy would help two years of financial losses.
Until the downsizing of recent months, hhgregg employed about 5,000 workers.
The hhgregg liquidation comes less than a month after another major retail store in Anderson, Kmart, closed its doors.

A.CHAL Infuses His Hypnotic R&B With His South American Roots
Ivan Fernandez June 12, 2017
A.CHAL (aka Alejandro Salazar) is a tall dude who cuts an imposing figure, filling every room he steps into with silent intensity. His voice carries as much weight as the booming bass he produces for his music, but he's soft-spoken during our interview, rarely speaking above a murmur. There's an interesting duality to his persona as a singer, rapper, producer and solo artist, which continues to evolve on his latest release, On GAZ.
On GAZ, A.CHAL's third release and first mixtape, arrived on June 2, four years after his debut EP, Ballroom Riots, and just one year after his first full-length album, Welcome to GAZI. On the latter release, the Peruvian-American artist was the self-aware party boy who sought self-reflection and self-critique after debaucherous nights out on the town. On this new release, which features appearances by French Montana and A$AP Nast, A.CHAL confronts his feelings of guilt after his insecurities convinced him to destroy numerous personal relationships in the months leading up to the release of Welcome to GAZI.
A.CHAL sharpened his skills as a songwriter while living in New York, but friends urged him to head west to Los Angeles. Since moving here, he's been better able to find inspiration and outlets for his creativity, resulting in an album, a mixtape and songwriting credits for the likes of Rita Ora, Max Martin and Jennifer Lopez.

"It's old-school," he says of the way things work in New York. "The music industry out there feels like Wall Street. You got the offices there but they seem disconnected from the creative process. Out here, it's cool. You go into a studio and you run into another creative that's fire and he's going to inspire you. You don't get that in New York. You feel like you live in a computer chip … all these trains and cars passing, just these flashes of electricity just going through the wires. Out here, at least, you have the freedom and option of going to the beach, taking a hike, waterfalls, farms. You can go horseback riding 30 minutes from here."
It's odd to imagine that horseback rides and waterfalls played a part in fueling the creative spark for a mixtape that is darker in tone and sound than its predecessor. Tracks such as "Shadows" and "To the Light" are emblematic of the mixtape's theme and tone as A.CHAL croons about dealing with the karma of his mistakes and sins and learning how to move on from paralyzing guilt, all set to a soundtrack of thumping, hypnotic R&B.
"It has a classic vibe," A.CHAL says of "To the Light," On GAZ's lead single. "That's one of my main goals: to create a classic sound in a modern-sounding environment. I was listening to it through a walkie-talkie when we were shooting the video, and the way it sounded had no low [end] but it felt like it was from the '70s."
The titles to each of his albums refer to "GAZ" or being "GAZI." Though they seem like random words, there's nothing random about what it means to him personally. His debut LP was titled Welcome to GAZI as a way to invite listeners into his world view, and he's made numerous sacrifices to stay true to his vision.
"I rejected a significant amount of money last year," he explains. "My No. 1 priority isn't the money or the status. It's more so building something iconic, legendary, so I know that comes with a lot of risk-taking."
GAZI as a state of mind and consciousness also reflects A.CHAL's Latino upbringing. He was born in Lima and raised in the Peruvian city of Trujillo, further north, where his family lived in a shanty with a roof made of hay. His family made the decision to leave Peru for the United States when he was 4 years old.
"My dad did what he could," he says. "He used to cut out cardboard boxes and carve out animals and hang them on the wall. That would be my toys because he couldn't afford to buy any."
A.CHAL and his family lived in New York for a few years, surrounded by a melting pot of cultures and nationalities, before moving to a suburb in Massachusetts dominated by Irish and Italian families. "They were throwing rocks at my house because we were the only Latin people there," he recalls.
A.CHAL still visits his homeland on a regular basis. He went hiking two years ago in the tiny village of San Jose, where his grandfather owns farmland, and discovered pieces of ancient human remains and Incan writing scattered throughout. On another recent visit, he partook in an ayahuasca ritual with his parents.
Finding a balance between the culture of Peru and his adopted home country is central to the concept of GAZI, whose trajectory he has a clear vision of over the next several years. "With GAZI, we want to attack all areas, not just music," he explains. "Lifestyle, anything visual like creating documentary pieces and doing things that reach out to people and kids like us when we were growing up, who could be kind of confused.
"That is my goal this year, more than having a No. 2 song or being the hottest artist," he concludes. "It all goes back to the youth. Helping kids, helping adults as well. Music is a remedy."

The Book of Beauty
Kate	20thC, fashion history, feminism, middlebrow studies, political / social commentary, sociology, terribly refined, the life of the times, time travel, vaguely horror	 July 30, 2018 July 29, 2018
Many years ago I bought a curiosity in a book sale: The Book of Beauty, published in 1961 by the newspaper magnate George Newnes, and edited by Eileen Allen. It's still available on rare book sites but I've never seen it anywhere else, and it has fascinated me. The photographs are particularly arresting, the kind of thing I gazed at in awe in my first, but still dated Girl Guides' Handbook in the early 1970s, about what hat to wear to a job interview, and how to arrange your hair before you go to bed.
None of the advice was remotely relevant to me, and so I gazed at these pages with the curiosity of an alien species. So many instructions as to how to wash a foundation garment, with many photographs of the types of foundation garments available, all very mysterious to me since even my mother didn't wear such old-fashioned objects. A strange ritual called 'setting your hair', with rows of extraordinary pincurls, looked the most ugly and uncomfortable way to go about your day. 'Home perms' were apparently part of this, but I'd heard of them from a cartoon strip in The Bunty, which was still printing strips from the 1950s. I was boggled by the inference that hair had different categories of viewer: that you might wander around the house, or confine yourself to your bedroom, or reveal your hair to the shops, or a party, or the world, depending on what it looked like. (Couldn't you just, you know, go out?) This chimed with photographs I'd seen in the Radio Times of characters from Coronation Street wearing gauze headscarves to go to the shops, clearly showing the fat rows of rollers underneath, and I do recall an old lady on my street wearing just such rollers out while shopping in the morning, but never in the afternoon.
If nothing else this book is a valuable anthropologist's resource for how young women of the early 60s were expected to dress by a conservative press. But little bits of the approaching Swinging Sixties were allowed in, to show how up to date this volume was, and therefore how necessary. Nan Van den Hoek (perhaps just a journalist's pen-name, as it means 'Nan from the corner') was clearly the up to the minute practitioner in 'Beauty though Mysticism'. Eight pages on yoga, plus illustrations for a couple of poses, were allowed in as long as their use to deal with stress, exercise and fitness was firmly directed towards 'beauty.'
After the opening statement that beauty is really all about naturalness, the book is packed with ways to make that naturalness fit into the fashions and restrictions of the day (gloves and hats every day). Lady Isabel Barnett, a qualified doctor, and a regular 'witty television personality' on What's My Line (but not a peeress in her own right: her title was mis-styled from her husband's knighthood) contributed 40 pages on calorie-counted diets and weight loss. There is also advice and instruction on plastic surgery, make-up for the camera, 'learning to be a model at home', slimming tips, problem legs, how to wear glasses and curl your lashes: nothing in this book isn't being covered today by the fashion magazine industry, so the social imperatives haven't changed very much. But it's the obsession with presenting the right face to the world that this book drives home, and seems so utterly alien.

Hilary Temple says:
How delightful; must fit well with your interest in the mechanics of fashion such as underwear and how they affect women's self-presentation. But I associate Newnes more with children's annuals and Just William! Love the way all their perfect people look like Audrey Hepburn…

Google to begin bribing journalists with cash to parrot establishment news narratives that are often fake news
03/23/2018 / By JD Heyes
They say in the political arena if you can't get good coverage, buy it. Looks like social media giant Google is going into the business of buying favorable political coverage at the 'expense' of drowning out competing ideas (read conservative ideas).
As reported by Breitbart News, Google has decided that it should spend $300 million on a brand-new "news initiative" that aims to turn certain media outlets into real-life presstitutes.
According to details of the plan, Google's money will go towards supporting what it's Marxist editorial staff has determined to be "high quality journalism," while pledging to combat "misinformation" during the upcoming 2018 Midterm elections.
"Google says the News Initiative is focused on three broad goals — strengthening quality journalism, supporting sustainable business models and empowering newsrooms through technological innovation," reported Tech Crunch. "It's also committing to spend $300 million over the next three years on its various journalism-related projects."
Google Chief Business Officer Phillipp Schindler claimed during a press conference, "Our mission is inherently tied to your business… The economics are very clear: If you do not grow, we do not grow."
He added that the social media giant has "two clear business incentives" to support and promote "high quality journalism."
"First, he said Google search 'by its very nature depends on the open web and depends on open access to information and that obviously depends on high quality information.' Second, he noted that Google's DoubleClick ad business is all about splitting revenue with publishers, with $12.6 billion paid out to partners last year," Tech Crunch explained.
"Schindler also announced a partnership with the Harvard Kennedy School's First Draft to launch something called the Disinfo Lab, which will 'use computational tools and journalistic oversight to monitor misinformation during elections.' And there's a separate project called MediaWise, a partnership with the Poynter Institute, Stanford University, and the Local Media Association. Google.org's Jacqueline Fuller described this as a $3 million, two-year media campaign to improve media literacy among teens," the tech site further noted.
Translation: Google is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to completely destroy or, at the least, drown out conservative, independent media and all voices of liberty and freedom. To them, our voices will be "disinfo." Our reporting will be "fake." Our news will be "propaganda."
Am I overreacting? I don't think so.
Remember, this is Google, a company that practically had its own office in Barack Obama's White House. These people aren't 'fair and balanced' when it comes to conservative, pro-American, America-first, pro-Second Amendment, pro-Trump, pro-MAGA voices. This is a blatant effort to 'buy' favorable media coverage for its patrons in the Democratic Party. (Related: Obama's raid of Facebook data OK, but it's a 'scandal' when Team Trump does it?)
This should convince you once and for all that Democrats really are authoritarians and their organs that feed them are all on board with that. How else can you explain the decision by YouTube to completely deep-six all gun-related video content (Google owns YouTube)?
There is pushback to all of this, however. There is a legal effort that seeks to break up the Web's biggest information monopoly after a series of very credible reports have documented how that company — Alphabet Corp.'s Google — has been attempting to control the flow of information that browsers can (and can't) see.
"Google dominates Internet search with over 75 percent of the market. If you disappear on Google, your ability to voice your opinion disappears too. You will be silenced," says StopOnlineCensorship.com, a legal effort sponsored by PragerU.com which has seen more than 40 of its educational videos suppressed by Google-owned YouTube.
"This is not just about PragerU being silenced. It's about another point of view that's being silenced by Google and YouTube," the site continued. "Tomorrow it could be your point of view that is being silenced."
Hence the effort to buy favorable media coverage.
Google and the rest of the Pravda media are waging a full-scale war on the information you are "allowed" to see. But there are ways to fight their attempts to control all information.

When does "retirement" start for most Americans?
Will Inflation make an impact on my retirement?
What special circumstances do women need to keep in mind?
What concerns should I keep in mind for Health Care in Retirement?
Prior to retirement many people have most of their retirement assets in a company-sponsored retirement plan. At retirement, when you arrive at the critical distribution phase an advisor can be helpful in reviewing all of your income streams, making sure that your insurance programs are comprehensive enough to meet future needs and that tax and estate planning are taken into consideration. While this post-retirement checkup is good, starting earlier with an advisor can help you see opportunities to save money, learn about options you may not be familiar with and make the most of what you have to work with.

A: I currently attend Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. Being that it is an HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), the natural scene is somewhat decent (although the majority of girls constantly have relaxers and/or weaves).
A: I have been wearing my hair natural for 3 years now. I first started transitioning when I was in 10th grade. Because my father disapproved, I got it flat-ironed every 2 weeks when my mother took me to the salon. One day after cheering at a basketball game (I was a cheerleader for 6 years), my father saw a few little nappies and forced me to get a relaxer. This was my junior year. I was so distraught, I never let him do it again (and trust me, he tried).
I transitioned for about a year and a half, wearing my hair flat-ironed because of my father. The wednesday before I left for college, I had my left-over relaxed ends trimmed off. As soon as my parents had me situated in my first dorm room, I stuck my head under the faucet so I could see my natural hair in all its glory for the very 1st time. I haven't looked back since.
A: Almost none whatsoever. My father was completely against it and still feels as though I've betrayed him somehow (crazy). My mother wasn't as opposing as my father, but she was not supportive, either. My elder brother was even more distraught than my father… he is an avid "fashionisto" and "divo" and would prefer that I wear 8 pounds of make up, a 14 inch weave, and stilettos every day. My sister was the only semi-support I had, but she lives so far from home.
Lastly, all my life, I've gone to schools where if I wasn't the only black kid in the class, I was one of (at most) 8. So none of my friends (who were all white) even knew what the heck I was talking about, therefore I was basically alone throughout my journey.
A: I love being seen for example the area where my parents live now (a small town in Wisconsin), *everyone* notices my hair. There aren't too many black folks out here, and the few that are seem to all have straight hair. Some people stare, especially kids, but I get a lot of compliments. Also natural hair gives me an edge and gives me confidence (which I lacked previously).
More importantly, having natural hair has given me the strength to stand up for myself. I have to defend my choice against my father's and brother's opinions every time I come home from school.
A: I shampoo every 1-2 weeks and condition as often as possible. In the shower, I first get my hair soaking wet and detangle it with my fingers. Then I repeat this process using lots of conditioner. Then I shampoo and condition it one last time. After I shampoo and condition, I spray in a leave-in conditioner and moisturize my hair with any product that has olive oil and no petroleum. I wear a silk "mushroom" cap to bed every night and keep a silk pillowcase at my boyfriend's place.
As far as styles go, it depends on the season. During the summer, I do a condition-and-go style almost every day because it's quick, simple, and keeps me cool. I do this for as long as I can during the school year as well, but when it gets cold, I change that up (my mother taught me to never go out in the cold with wet hair!) This is when I do twists. Occasionally I'll take my time and do a nice 2-strand twist that'll last for a week or so. Then I take them out and just wear a twist-out until it just doesn't look appealing anymore.
Most of the time, though, I just do a quick and dirty twist before bed, place a scarf on it, and then remove them in the morning for a chunky afro. I'll either leave it as is, pull it back, or (my very recent favorite) pin up the sides for a cute little frohawk.
A: If this is truly what you want to do, don't let anyone talk you out of it. I had absolutely no support system and had to reach out on the internet at sites like MotownGirl.com for support. Be strong in your choice. And when the going gets tough, just think about the reasons why you wanted to go natural in the first place. I posted pictures of girls with beautiful naturally nappy hair all over my bedroom wall for inspiration.


The new web page is in place and all is looking pretty good so far and able to handle a pretty heavy web load so far. We still haven't had to deal with a slashdot scenario so far on the new site (perhaps the ultimate test), but I expect we'd do ok.
This is a radical redesign, so many of the links have changed. We've put some substitute links for the short term, but please make sure to switch over to the new links ASAP. With the new site, we should be able to keep the site up to date much more easily (and thus the site should stay more up to date), which should be a great help for FAH.

Q: Vector notation for sum over elementwise product of 3 vectors If I have an expression for two vectors $A$ and $B$ as below:
$$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^N A_i B_i $$
we can write this as $ A^T B $ or $B^T A$
Now, if I have 3 vectors $A$, $B$ and $C$,
$$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^N A_i B_i C_i$$ how can I show that in vector notation?

A: You can write the above expression in the following way
$$\left(\begin{array}{lll}A_1\\A_2\\ \vdots \\A_N\end{array}\right)^T\left(\begin{array}{llll}B_1\\
& B_2\\
&& \ddots\\ &&&B_N\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{lll}C_1\\C_2\\ \vdots\\C_N\end{array}\right)$$

The Texas Rangers have placed pitcher Joe Saunders on a medical rehabilitation assignment in light of his recent foot injury, and may offer him a position as a reliever once he gets off the disabled list. Saunders has spent his entire career as a starter, but he may have to make the transition if he wants to keep playing for the Rangers.
"The spot right now we have is in the bullpen," said Jon Daniels, the Rangers' GM. "He sees himself as a starter but that's the spot we have open."
Rehabilitation can often effectively supplement the healing process for sports players who have foot or ankle injuries. If you are an athlete recovering from damage to the ankles or feet, visit a podiatrist like Dr. Henry Slomowitz of Paramus and Paterson. Dr. Slomowitz can evaluate your condition and determine if rehabilitation would be right for you.
Recovery is vitally important to injured athletes, for if they cannot recover, they cannot play the sports they love. Podiatrists and physical therapists are essential in the consultation process as well as in developing the best plan of action to return the athlete to the field. However, having a reliable, professional, and dedicated process of rehabilitation is just as serious as the injury itself; a component that cannot be overlooked in the healing process.
Athletes in particular come by with this question all the time---or may not know enough to ask the right questions. A sports therapist is very much athletically-focused, the goal being to return the athlete to the game as quickly as possible. Proper healing is emphasized because if an athlete returns to their game before the injury is healed, they could aggravate or worsen their condition.
Every athlete understands the inherent risk in stepping on to the field of their chosen game. When an injury is incurred, physical therapy attempts to return athlete's to their original level of health—even if it might not be possible. The key is hope. This is the true importance of seeking out rehabilitation as quickly as is humanly possible.

DAD JAILED FOR KILLING TEEN DAUGHTER WHO SNEAKED OUT THE NIGHT
A man from Mberengwa has been jailed for eight years after he was convicted of whipping his 15-year-old daughter to death for sneaking out of the house at night.
Sibehlule Madhibha (43) of Mawire Village, Chief Bankwe in Mberengwa, was found guilty of the murder of her daughter Bekezela Dube in 2015.
He was convicted by High Court Judge Justice Thompson Mabhikwa who is sitting at Gweru Circuit High Court. Mabhikwa however suspended two years on condition of good behavior.
The court heard that on March 2, 2015 at around 8pm the convict discovered that the deceased had sneaked out of her bedroom.
He searched for her in the company of his son Siphosenkosi Dube. The two then met the deceased while she was coming from the business centre and they took her home.
The now deceased was questioned as to why she had sneaked out but failed to give a satisfactory answer. Madhibha assaulted her with an electric power cable all over the body several times.
She collapsed and fell unconscious. Madhibha then alerted a neighbour who rushed her to a nearby hospital where she died upon admission. Masvingo Mirror


This post originally appeared on the IntraHealth VITAL blog.
In Senegal, over a third of postpartum women who want to delay or avoid additional pregnancy do not use a modern method of contraception. This is despite the fact that most Senegalese women know about family planning and have access to services.
To reach these women, the Senegal Ministry of Health and Social Action, with support from IntraHealth International, launched an integrated services pilot program. The idea was simple: since 70% of children are fully vaccinated, and many mothers at immunization sessions want family planning services, why not offer family planning during routine immunization services?
We joined the team at IntraHealth using our behavioral science expertise to uncover situational behavioral factors that may prevent this from being successful. Together, we unpacked the decisions and actions of postpartum women at the immunization clinics to understand how women decide to use contraception (or not), and then follow through on this intention.
1. Help clients come prepared.
The first step to making sure clients are aware of integrated services is to include information about them in outreach activities in the community. This is necessary particularly when additional services cost money and require a longer stay at the health facility (as is the case with family planning services in Senegal).
Clients should be notified beforehand of available services and expected costs so they can plan ahead and budget the time and money required to successfully follow through on their intention while visiting the health facility.
2. Prompt clients with clear, direct questions.
Many of the women we spoke with understood the benefits of, and expressed interest in, using contraceptives. Unfortunately, few of the women had time or the cognitive bandwidth to think concretely about starting a contraceptive method on the day of their child's immunization.
In the clinic, fussy children and neighborhood gossip surrounds women who are primarily focused on the task at hand—immunization. In such a hectic environment, everyone suffers from limited attention. For these women, family planning may not be top of mind. Prompting clients with a direct question—"Would you like to start using a contraceptive method today?"—makes this topic salient, and allows clients to act on it.
Otherwise, the opportunity may slip away unnoticed and unconsidered among the other tasks at hand.
Research has shown that even small hassles require effort to overcome, leading people to put off taking action, or not take it at all.
In Senegal, we noticed women were sometimes required to find the midwife responsible for family planning services in a separate building at their clinic. This seemingly inconsequential hassle prevented many women from using family planning, simply because they were unsure of where to find the service provider.
Eliminating unnecessary small hassles (i.e., any additional steps or wait time) can have a big impact on increasing uptake of integrated services.
4. Strengthen referral systems to help clients plan ahead.
Integrated services in Senegal are primarily designed for same-day service uptake. Unfortunately, many clients aren't ready to take up family planning same-day—they first needed to consult with their husbands or collect the requisite money. Thus, even well-designed integrated service programs need good referral systems.
Behavioral research has shown that simple verbal referrals can be strengthened by providing clients with physical reminders or prompting them to make a plan of action. Committing to an exact day and time for their return allows clients to both block out a convenient time and increases the likelihood they will actually make it happen.
5. Support health workers with appropriate training and materials.
It can be easy to forget that integrated services put additional burdens on already busy health workers. Beyond providing education on the importance of integrated services, effective training should provide clear and actionable processes that allow providers to effectively manage their client flow. Additionally, standardized materials can lessen the burden on providers to prepare their own, freeing up their time and energy to conduct seamless, successful integration services.

Seven months after being injured in a vehicle crash, Windsor's Chris Jones continues to battle the effects of the concussion.
Chris Jones strained to put one foot in front of the other.
His steely stare was laser-focused on an X on a board he held at arms length.
Heel to toe. Heel to toe.
It was as if he were performing a roadside sobriety test.
Jones was unsteady, but not from drinking. Instead, he was intently focused on his physical therapy, still working to recover from an early August car crash in Fort Collins that left him concussed.
Jones has spent seven frustrating months trying to get back to his high-energy self — a beloved member of the Windsor High School family, where his passion for coaching football and teaching math are legendary.
"I'm a little lightheaded,'' Jones said after finishing a 30-minute visual and balance session at Rebound Sports and Physical Therapy in Loveland. "I will sit in my truck for a little bit 10, 15 minutes before I drive. It used to be I couldn't do the exercises and when I would get ready to leave would have headaches and have to sit in my truck 45 minutes before I could drive.
On Aug. 7, Jones and his two children — Ellis,15, and Henry, 13 — were driving in his Toyota Tacoma on the way to a sleepover. Colorado Highway 14 was under construction, and Jones was stopped on the highway just west of Interstate 25.
He was talking to his wife Julie on speaker phone.
"We're about to get hit," he told her.
In his rear-view mirror, Jones saw a Jeep Cherokee Laredo about to crash into the back of his pickup. He turned to warn his kids. As he was turned in his seat, the Laredo rear-ended the pickup, bending the vehicle's frame and totaling it.
Henry complained of a headache and Ellis seemed OK. Neither sustained injuries.
Jones, too, thought he was OK. But the following day he was feeling light-headed and a little nauseous. He went to a hospital emergency room and was diagnosed with a mild concussion, he said.
He was just starting the most stressful part of the school year with football and classes beginning. His determination to coach and teach masked his deterioration until three weeks later.
Windsor principal Michelle Scallon said she went to congratulate Jones at an assembly Aug. 30 in the packed school gym after he won the H.J. Dudley Award, a districtwide excellence in teaching award.
Besides Scallon, assistant football coaches, teachers and Jones' wife were also noticing changes. They asked him to take time off, but he told them he could battle through the increasing headaches, double vision and balance issues.
Jones coached the Aug. 31 home football game against Vista Ridge and road games Sept. 7 at Ponderosa and Sept. 13 at Silver Creek.
The 54-year-old said he has always been able to multitask and think quickly whether he's calling football plays or helping with intricate math questions. But he said he started noticing the concussion was taking a toll on the field and in the classroom.
"Before, I could do 75 things at once, boom, boom, boom. I can see a play and know right away the next three or four plays I want to call," said Jones, the team's head football coach for 12 seasons. "I could be helping one math student and hear a student talking about a question over there and answer it.
"But I started noticing during games that everything was moving so fast and I couldn't keep up. There were times in the first three games that I got really angry about super little things that in the past I would have never blown up about. And in class, it was taking me longer to answer questions. On top of that, I was staying up until midnight grading my AP stats tests."
Despite the physical and mental changes becoming more debilitating, Jones said he kept assuring himself and others that things would get better.
After all, he had seen football players recover from concussions in a week.
Julie said the Silver Creek game on Sept. 13 was the breaking point.
Soon after, Jones greatly reduced his time coaching and went part-time teaching.
Scallon said it was difficult for teachers and students to see a teacher considered by many as the heart and soul of the school slipping right before their eyes.
Finally, Scallon and others convinced Jones he needed to visit the Orthopaedic Center of the Rockies Regional Concussion Center Services in Fort Collins.
Jones saw neuropsychologist Dr. Alissa Wicklund, a sports concussion specialist and director of the center.
He flunked every test they gave him.
Wicklund said concussion education is continuing to grow for doctors and patients. She said the center devises a plan with a patient to give them behavioral, nutritional, physical and mental strategies to help them recover.
Jones has further recovered with the help of Tyler Fosdick, a physical therapist at Rebound, who he has been seeing since September. Jones used to attend physical therapy twice a week for 30 minutes each session but has reduced the frequency of his visits. The sessions primarily work on helping him regain his vision, balance and perspective.
Fosdick said those who suffer a concussion lose the ability to filter out sights and sounds that aren't vital. Without a filter, the brain goes into sensory overload and there isn't enough bandwidth in the brain.
Fosdick said a key to concussion rehabilitation is finding a balance between challenging the impaired systems so the body adapts to the stressors while not challenging the body too much.
Jo Finnegan is a close friend of Jones and a retired Windsor coach and math teacher. She was one of several people who convinced Chris to receive medical help after he tried to work through the concussion.
She said the injury exhausted Jones' sick leave through the school district and despite insurance coverage has cost them thousands of dollars in co-pays. Still, she knows her husband was born to coach and teach and the concussion is one more learning experience he can pass on to his players and students.
Jones, who returned full-time to teaching after the winter holiday break, said he will put to use his newfound concussion knowledge in helping his players and other students in the school who have suffered a concussion.
Scallon said it will only add to why he is one of the school's top teachers.
"I can tell you Chris teaches more than football on the field and more than math in the classroom,'' she said. "He teaches players and students about being a good person. I have gotten to hear what he tells those senior boys when they are holding hands and coming out of the locker room before a football game, and I can tell you he's not talking about winning a football game. He tells them to play for the love of the game, for their grandparents for the people in the stands.


Unstructured metadata fields such as 'description' offer tremendous value for users to understand cultural heritage objects. However, this type of narrative information is of little direct use within a machine-readable context due to its unstructured nature. This paper explores the possibilities and limitations of Named-Entity Recognition (NER) and Term Extraction (TE) to mine such unstructured metadata for meaningful concepts. These concepts can be used to leverage otherwise limited searching and browsing operations, but they can also play an important role to foster Digital Humanities research. In order to catalyze experimentation with NER and TE, the paper proposes an evaluation of the performance of three third-party entity extraction services through a comprehensive case study, based on the descriptive fields of the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York. In order to cover both NER and TE, we first offer a quantitative analysis of named-entities retrieved by the services in terms of precision and recall compared to a manually annotated gold-standard corpus, then complement this approach with a more qualitative assessment of relevant terms extracted. Based on the outcomes of this double analysis, the conclusions present the added value of entity extraction services, but also indicate the dangers of uncritically using NER and/or TE, and by extension Linked Data principles, within the Digital Humanities. All metadata and tools used within the paper are freely available, making it possible for researchers and practitioners to repeat the methodology. By doing so, the paper offers a significant contribution towards understanding the value of entity recognition and disambiguation for the Digital Humanities.

I started attending Lafayette Parish School Board meetings three years ago. I saw a school board that had no complete vision or plan for our schools and major facility problems. And what's so upsetting for me is that, three years later, we still have the same problems and there's no unity between board members and our superintendent.
Pat Cooper, the superintendent of schools, has shared his vision and goal for our school system. I still do not know what vision and goal board members have. And how are they different?
Schools are falling apart and overcrowded; there are discipline and reading comprehension problems; children enter our schools broken in spirit and ill-prepared just to name a few. Instead of working with the superintendent to figure out how they will handle these problems or the $15 million deficit the school system will face, board members choose to focus on the fact that a man was hired for a position without meeting the qualification of having a high school diploma.
Three years ago, a school was almost taken over by the state. School board member Hunter Beasley swore that he would not let that happen again. We still have several D schools and one F school. Instead of working with Cooper to figure out ways to lift up those schools from F and D to higher levels, some board members keep pointing out Cooper's mistakes. Creating a great school district begins with common sense, love of mankind and holding all involved accountable. That starts with our highest authorities in our school system — our superintendent and our school board members.
How unfortunate for our students, school employees and community that our school board members had the opportunity to have an open and honest discussion several times and were offered a mediator for the meeting and, this time, six board members said, "no." They might have their reasons, but their reasons have eliminated any chance the school system had of getting a tax passed. The community was not thrilled about taxes going up, but I feel it would have supported it, because they believed it was going to be a dedicated tax. In the past, taxes failed because there was no complete plan for the future of our schools and the community had trust issues with the board members.
In spite of all the drama that we have witnessed, I believe that the public was going to trust this school board and Cooper to finally do right by our school system. Six board members took that away from us.
Why? To prove who's right and who's wrong? What we care about and want is for board members and Cooper to stop all the drama and pettiness and start working together for the betterment of education and to make our schools a safe and valued place for students and employees.

The Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas has issued its Rule 1925 Opinion in a Post-Koken case that's on its way up the appellate ladder to the Superior Court - Stepanovich v. McGraw and State Farm, No. GD 10-16523 (C.P. Allegh. Co. Dec. 10, 2012).
At trial, both the tortfeasor defendant's defense counsel and the UIM defense counsel defended the case--with two openings, two direct exams, two cross-exams, two closing arguments, etc.--without the jury ever being informed as to the involvement of State Farm as a UIM defendant. A defense verdict was entered by the jury.
The trial court judge granted the Plaintiff a new trial after ruling, on post-trial motions, that, upon further reflection, his decision not to allow an identification of the UIM insurance company defendant at trial while still allowing two defense attorneys to defend the matter violated the Plaintiff's due process rights.
State Farm appealed and the Stepanovich court has now issued its Rule 1925 Opinion outlining its reasoning behind the granting of a new trial in this matter.
I send thanks to Attorney Tim McNair from Erie, PA, as well as to Attorney Tom McDonnell from Pittsburgh PA, for bringing this Opinion to my attention.
