Lyanna Mormont may not be a main character, but she's a Game of Thrones fan favorite — and for good reason. She doesn't take crap from anyone. While chatting with The Cut about what she'll miss most about playing the feisty character, 15-year-old Bella Ramsey answer sounds like something her Lady of Bear Island character might say.
"I think the opportunity to stand up in front of a load of grown men and shame them," the young actress said. "I think playing confident characters also helps with your own confidence. Say you're in a situation where you're feeling anxious or nervous — you can become a character and work through it that way. I'll miss that about her."
As far as her character's popularity, Ramsey wasn't expecting the praise she's received. "I just turned up, did my filming, and would see what happens," she admitted. "I wasn't sure whether people would like her or not, because she's quite a unique character. But I'm very glad and very grateful that people do like her."
Before being cast, Ramsey confessed that she hadn't even watched the whole series and "didn't really have a clue what was going on" when they began shooting; however, she's rooting for the scrappy Arya Stark (Maisie Williams).
"She's little and powerful," she said. "There's this great line from the show Matilda: 'Even if you're little, you can do a lot. You mustn't let a little thing like this stop you.'"
She is also a fan of Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie). "They're kind of kindred spirits," she said of Brienne and Lyanna. "They're both these females who are sticking up for what they believe in and proving that girls can be just as strong as boys, women can be just as strong as men."
Lyanna made an appearance in last week's Season 8 premiere. Hopefully we'll see more of her as the final season presses on.

Bomb Explodes At Funeral In Pakistan
At least 31 people, including three children, were killed Thursday in an attack at a funeral service in a Pakistani village near the Afghan border; 75 others were wounded.
According to Police Chief Saleem Khan, a suicide bomber walked up to the crowd of about 200 mourners in the northwest village of Lower Dir and detonated his explosives.
Police say the funeral was for Bakhat Khan, a member of the Mashwani tribe, which is reputed to be rabidly anti-Taliban. Residents near the scene of the bombing have raised volunteer militias against the Taliban.
Most of the people killed in the attack were from the tribe, whose members reside in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. The tribe's chief, who reportedly held great influence on both sides of the border, was killed in a suicide attack in the Afghan province of Kunar in April.
Recent cross-border raids into Lower Dir by militants who have found sanctuary in Afghanistan have aggravated tensions between the two countries.
Earlier this week, Taliban gunmen killed four children as they were returning from school near the main northwestern city of Peshawar. The insurgents said the attack was aimed at locals who support a tribal militia fighting the Taliban.
There was no claim of responsibility for Thursday's attack.

FIFA 14: next-gen trailer discusses Ignite engine's crowd and stadium tech
FIFA 14 publisher EA Sports has released a new video that explains how the next-gen Ignite engine has been used to create more believable crowds, detailed stadiums and various visual effects on PS4 and Xbox One.
David Rutter headlines
FIFA 14 executive producer details building and breaking EA Sports' annual juggernaut
FIFA 14 is out now on current-gen consoles and PC, and to find out what it takes to create, let alone innovate, a new entry in the series each year, VG247's Sam Clay had a chat with executive producer David Rutter.
FIFA 14 AI is more powerful on next-gen consoles
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of FIFA 14 draws on the increased grunt of next-gen consoles to power improved AI.
FIFA 14: data capture could allow for player-specific AI in future editions, suggests Rutter
FIFA 14's AI goes a long way from previous instalments in that all 11 positions on the pitch come with their own AI and behavioural traits, but executive producer David Rutter wants to go one step further and use the game's stat-capture tech to give every single player their own unique AI in future games.
FIFA 14 is "huge": will go big on connectivity, but retain single-player fun
FIFA 14's enhanced online features have been discussed in a new interview with the series' executive producer David Rutter. However, EA Sports won't forget about the joys of solo play.
FIFA 13 dev on Metacritic: 'not listening to your fans is a dumb thing to do'
FIFA 13 producer David Rutter has discussed how his team has grown over the years, and shed light on the way the studio strives for excellence in a tell-all interview. Fan opinion is still number one, even if Metacritic is fast becoming the industry's barometer of quality.
FIFA 13 dev can't see 'cross play between formats happening'
FIFA 13 has a number of cross format profile features that allow players to interact – be they on PS3, Xbox 360, PC and more – but actually being able to play matches across those formats in future is wishful thinking, FIFA's executive producer has said.
FIFA 13 video: new gameplay, Rutter, all the balls
FIFA 13 was looking hotter than ever at gamescom last week, where dev boss David Rutter showed new features and gameplay. VG247's Sam Clay caught everything on camera.
FIFA 13 Matchday replicates the drama of football
David Rutter showed the Matchday feature by replicating Sergio Aguero's dramatic winner in last season's Premier League.
FIFA's UI usability "is something we need to look at quite hard," says Rutter

FIFA 11 chief: Online Pass offsets the "human cost" of multiplayer
The first inclusion of Online Pass functionality in a FIFA game doesn't have the team "worried," producer David Rutter has assured VG247, adding that making additional charges to those playing online with a secondhand copy is necessary to justify both the "human cost" of online development and improvements in the game's multiplay service.
FIFA 11: No online Manager Mode this year, says producer
FIFA 11 producer David Rutter has told Eurogamer that this year's edition in the series won't have an online manager mode.
FIFA 11 could use Natal or Sony controller, but not because it "should"
FIFA 11 could end up using Natal and Sony's motion controller, says series producer David Rutter, but not because people think it should be used."It's funny. He (Peter Moore) said that and John Riccitiello said you'd never want Natal to control FIFA," Rutter told Videogamer. "There are a few things we could do, which we're […]
Don't "bad-mouth EA", says FIFA producer
FIFA producer David Rutter is sick of the EA hating. He wants it to stop, goshdarnit."It does upset me that people bad-mouth EA, and I used to be one of those people," he told MCV."But the fact that I am allowed to spend so much money on making good gameplay, without having to do anything […]

For the Blogging From A to Z Challenge I'm doing you all a huge favor and filling you in on the 26 Things To Hate About Writing.** I'm hoping by the end of April, I will have convinced all of you not to indulge in the wild insanity of becoming a writer. If I can save even one person from offering themselves up in sacrifice to the mad and fickle word gods, I will have done some good in this world.
Check out each letter's post here.
Let's face it: the worst thing about writing is rewriting and editing. It's like, I already did this once, now I have to go back and fix all my mistakes, make sure the story flows, and that there's no plot holes or inconsistencies? What kind of masochist do you think I am? I already put up with this awful story this long, now you want me to invest more time polishing it up and making it perfect?
Unfortunately, there's these awful creatures called 'editors' and they seem to believe that you can't do anything right the first time, like they're sooooo much smarter than you. If you write a book and expect to publish it, they're going to make you fix it up, and here's the awful things you're going to find when you look at that terrible steaming heap of story you chose to write against all my warnings:
– You thought you connected point A to point B, only to find you veered so far off the path you somehow ended up in the next state over at a rural county fair eating funnel cakes, and this is a sci-fi story. You gotta fix it now. Like there's no frickin' funnel cakes in space or something.
– You wrote whole scenes that were pointless and didn't do anything for the story. That's why the story ended up being 200,000 words long. But you're a writer, right? Why are you being punished for writing?!
– You created a gaping plot hole big enough to swallow a bus. Maybe you should just turn this into a story about disappearing busses.
– It becomes plainly obvious you never learned how to spell, use homophones, or apply basic grammar skills. It's freeform art. These editors are clearly trying to cramp your creativity.
If you write a story, and expect to sell it to people, you might as well do the editing thing. I mean, you've been dumb up until this point, why break a streak? And then you know what's gonna happen? You're going to have a polished, well-constructed, coherent story with concise writing and no mistakes or typohs. You're going to learn from all those mistakes you made and not make so many the next time. And you know what that makes you? A better writer. And that means you're gonna end up writing more stuff. Fool! It's a vicious cycle!
**Disclaimer: If you haven't figured it out, these posts are pure satire and simply a humorous way to vent my writing frustrations. No offense is intended to anyone. Please, become or continue being a writer. It's awesome, I swear. It's super…duper, awesome…heh heh.

A man convicted of defrauding Caltrans out of nearly $1.9 million to pay for a lavish lifestyle, which included $10,000 in Star Wars collectibles, was sentenced to nine years in state prison, officials said.
Eric Hodgson, 43, of Elk Grove agreed to a plea deal Tuesday that in addition to prison time, he would forfeit property such as two houses, two cars, retirement savings and a Star Wars collection, which included a 3-foot-tall Yoda statue, according to a statement issued by the California Attorney General's Office.
Caltrans hired Hodgson and his company, Phenix Print & Image, to advertise new construction contracts to potential bidders, but soon discovered that he used fake invoices for ads that were never published in local newspapers as promised, according to the statement.
Local news from across Southern California
An investigation conducted by the California Department of Justice determined the stolen money was used to pay off a mortgage, buy comics and toys and fund trips for him and his company's staff.

Foreword to Rev. 16
UN Model Regulations
UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Model Regulations
Foreword to the 16th revised edition
The Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods are addressed to governments and to the international organizations concerned with safety in the transport of dangerous goods.
The first version, prepared by the United Nations Economic and Social Council's Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, was published in 1956 (ST/ECA/43-E/CN.2/170).
In response to developments in technology and the changing needs of users, they have been regularly amended and updated at succeeding sessions of the Committee of Experts pursuant to Resolution 645 G (XXIII) of 26 April 1957 of the Economic and Social Council and subsequent resolutions.
At its nineteenth session (2-10 December 1996), the Committee adopted a first version of the "Model Regulations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods", which were annexed to the tenth revised edition of the Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. This was done to facilitate the direct integration of the Model Regulations into all modal, national and international regulations and thereby enhance harmonization, facilitate regular up-dating of all legal instruments concerned, and result in overall considerable resource savings for the Governments of the Member States, the United Nations, the specialized agencies and other international organizations.
By resolution 1999/65 of 26 October 1999, the Economic and Social Council extended the mandate of the Committee to the global harmonization of the various systems of classification and labelling of chemicals which are applicable under various regulatory regimes, e.g.: transport; workplace safety; consumer protection; environment protection, etc.
The Committee was reconfigured and renamed "Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals", supported with one sub-committee specialized in transport of dangerous goods and another one addressing the global harmonization of classification and labelling of chemicals.
At its fourth session (12 December 2008), the Committee adopted a set of amendments to the Model Regulations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, concerning, inter alia, the inclusion of new provisions (e.g. transport of substances which are toxic by inhalation, requirements for metal hydride storage systems, provisions for fuel cell engines, use of open cryogenic receptacles ) or revision of existing provisions (e.g. transport of dangerous goods packed in limited quantities, classification criteria for environmentally hazardous substances, use of electronic data interchange transmission techniques and special provisions for fumigated cargo transport units ).
Close cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also continued and resulted in amended provisions concerning the transport of radioactive material.
This sixteenth revised edition of the Recommendations takes account of all amendments which were adopted in December 2008 and consolidated in documents ST/SG/AC.10/36/Add.1, -/Corr.1, -/Corr.2 and -/Corr.3.
At its fourth session, the Committee adopted also amendments to the "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria" (ST/SG/AC.10/36/Add.2 and -/Corr.1 ), which will be reflected in the fifth revised edition of the Manual (ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.5), as well as amendments to the "Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals" (GHS) (ST/SG/AC.10/36/Add.3), which are reflected in the third revised edition of the GHS published as document ST/SG/AC.10/30/Rev.3.
This publication has been prepared by the secretariat of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) which provides secretariat services to the Economic and Social Council's Committee of Experts.

Department of Justice
For Immediate Release
Jury Trial Cancelled as the Last of 39 Defendants Plead Guilty in Investigations of the Nuestra Familia Drug Trafficking Organization
FRESNO, Calif. — The last five pending defendants in a series of huge cases targeting the Nuestra Familia organization pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court this week, U.S. Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced. Calixtro Israel Sanchez, aka Cali Killa, aka Cali, 26, of Hanford, pleaded guilty today to a drug trafficking offense. Jose Velez, aka Cisco, 31, of Delano; Felipe Ramirez, aka Casper, 33, of Visalia; Christopher Medrano, aka Bob, 32, of Hanford; and Florentino Acosta, of Mexico, all pleaded guilty earlier this week to drug trafficking offenses.
These five defendants are the last of 39 defendants to plead guilty to federal offenses in these coordinated cases. A jury trial that had been scheduled for March 11, 2014, has been vacated. All defendants were members or associates of the Nuestra Familia (NF). NF is a violent Hispanic prison gang based within the California prison system whose members exert control over street-level Norteño gang members engaged in drug trafficking and violent crime throughout the Central Valley.
According to court documents, during 2009 and 2010, the NF trafficked in methamphetamine, distributing the drugs and collecting debts in Kings, Tulare, Kern, Stanislaus, Merced, Madera and Fresno Counties. The NF obtained large shipments of methamphetamine from Mexico and distributed it among NF regiments throughout California and elsewhere. Some of the profits of the trafficking funded NF members in prison in order to maintain the NF's power structure within the prison system.
"Numerous federal, state and local law enforcement agencies in this region came together to take on one of the most dangerous gangs in California," said U.S. Attorney Wagner. "That battle will continue, but the guilty pleas taken this week are a major step forward in protecting the communities of the Central Valley from the violent drug traffickers of the Nuestra Familia."
"Organized prison gangs and other criminals who traffic drugs are responsible for increased violence in our communities," stated Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Special Agent in Charge Joseph M. Riehl. "This investigation is a prime example of teamwork and superior collaboration among many law enforcement agencies with a successful investigative conclusion and prosecution."
Twenty-six of the defendants who have pleaded guilty have already been sentenced to prison. Nine of them received sentences of between 10 and 16 years in prison, while the remaining 17 have received sentences of between four and 10 years in prison. Parole has been abolished in the federal system, and all defendants will be required to serve at least 85 percent of the prison time imposed.
This case is the product of an extensive series of investigations by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the FBI; the DEA; Kings County Narcotic Task Force; the California Department of Justice; and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Numerous local law enforcement agencies played key roles in the investigations, including the Police Departments of Hanford, Lemoore, Visalia, Los Banos, and Corcoran, the Kings County Sheriff's Office, the California Highway Patrol, and the U.S. Marshals Service. Assistant United States Attorneys Kimberly A. Sanchez, Kathleen A. Servatius, and Melanie L. Alsworth are prosecuting the cases.
Calixtro Sanchez is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge O'Neill on April 21, 2014. Jose Velez is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge O'Neill on April 28, 2014. Felipe Ramirez, Christopher Medrano, and Florentino Acosta are scheduled to be sentenced by Judge O'Neill on April 21, 2014. The defendants face a maximum statutory penalty of life in prison and a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and a $4 million fine. The actual sentences, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.

Gibson sticks with same lineup against Rays
PHOENIX -- For the first time since July 5-6, a span of 24 games, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson penciled in the same lineup for consecutive games on Wednesday.
When asked if he'll be giving certain players more consistent playing time moving forward, the skipper maintained that he'd still like to keep everyone involved. The D-backs have used 96 different batting orders this season in 113 games.
"There are so many things that go into whether or not you play somebody, I just left it the same today," Gibson said. "All in all though, everybody plays. We're in the middle of August and everybody has the chance to do good for the team."
While Gibson didn't want to look too deep into how he constructs his lineups, D-backs third baseman Eric Chavez voiced his desire to keep the batting order more constant.
"We have a deep bench and a lot of good players, but I think it's that time of the year where we have to start running guys out there regularly," he said. "Hopefully we can run out a consistent lineup and guys can get comfortable."
Cody Ross, who entered Wednesday batting .451 with three long balls and eight RBIs over his last eight games, understands the tough balancing act Gibson has to deal with, but he also said being in the lineup every day recently has helped his performance.
"Obviously, anybody will tell you that getting consistent at-bats, going out there every day, you're going to put up better numbers," he said. "But we have five [outfielders] that are everyday players and it's tough for Gibby to get us all in there. He's been doing the best he can."

With Kym Pine's political endorsement of her employee Tom Berg in the December 2010 special election to the City Council, corrupt state official and Tea Party Republican Pine-Ryglowski of Ewa Beach wanted something valuable in return just hours after the votes were counted and Berg's victory was announced . . . something she was willing to obtain illegally: Tens of thousands of dollars in City taxpayer funds for her friend and for her relative. Pine would stop at nothing to get paid City jobs for her campaign chairman John Gollner and for her unemployed cousin Celeste Lacuesta; even using extortion, bribery, harassment, money laundering and a host of other criminal acts to get her way. Frankly, the evidence against Pine is overwhelming, thanks to Pine putting many of her threats and her bribes in writing, since she frequently uses her computer in the commission of her crimes. While these crimes represent just a fraction of Pine's wrongdoing, law enforcement already has all the evidence it needs to arrest, prosecute and imprison cyber-criminal and corrupt politician Pine-Ryglowski for many, many years. The F.B.I., the U.S. Attorney, the State Attorney General, and the City Prosecutor all have custody of this evidence against Pine. Now members of the public, for the first time, are in a position to see the overwhelming evidence for themselves right here at this website www.KymPineIsACrook.com. In addition, the severe and lasting consequences of Pine's lawbreaking have directly led to a massive pattern of continued lawbreaking by Councilman Berg at City Hall, as documented at our other website www.ImpeachBerg.com.

I haven't worked on any restoration projects in a while, and I was starting to get in a slump. So I was excited to learn that my generous stepsister (who gifted me the barn windows I worked with earlier) had some cabinet doors and old frames that she wasn't going to use. After I find out what I can and can't paint with during my pregnancy, I'm excited to get to work on them!
I searched for some projects on Pinterest to get some inspiration, and I found a couple of really cool tutorials!
First, there is this repurposed cabinet door art table for the kiddos, which I love. I don't think it will work for the cabinets I have, but it's definitely something I want to try in the future! The tutorial is written by Autie from iCandy on U Create, and it's complete with instructions and photos!
Sometimes I think I'm over all the chalkboard stuff, but then I find beautiful designs like this, and I decide that I love it all over again. I've seen cabinet doors turned into chalkboards before, but I really just like how nice it looks when it's done. I wanted to put up a little chalkboard in the corner by our dinner table and this would be perfect! The entire tutorial with photos is written by Lia on The Elli Blog, a beautiful blog that focuses on weddings but also has tutorials for everyday living!
And finally, a beautiful jewelry organizer from Dinah on DIY Inspired. Now, I don't wear jewelry a lot. I don't go out very often, and the my daughter broke the necklace that my boyfriend got me literally days after I got it. But I do have a lot of jewelry (and not all of it is costume) and when I do go out, I like to get all gussied up since it probably won't happen again for another year. So this repurposed cabinet door would be nice to put up in our room or bathroom!
Have you restored a cabinet door and want to share your project? Did you follow one of these tutorials and want to share? Post in the comments and connect with me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google + and Pinterest! I'm always up for new ideas and inspiration so share em if you got em!
Stay thrifty, my friends.

DEFIANCE, Ohio (AP) — Mitt Romney is trying to close the deal with voters by promising to revitalize the economy, an area where polling shows the Republican presidential nominee has an edge heading into the final days of the campaign.
As President Barack Obama takes a break from the campaign trail, Romney was promoting an economic address in swing state Iowa to help win the dwindling number of voters yet to make up their minds. While the speech was not expected to break new ground, Romney's campaign said he would use it to help crystalize the differences between his and Obama's economic approaches.
"If Paul Ryan and I are elected as your president and vice president, we will endeavor with all our hearts and energy to restore America," Romney said in prepared excerpts his campaign released hours before he was scheduled to deliver the speech. "Instead of more spending, more borrowing from China and higher taxes from Washington, we'll renew our faith in the power of free people pursuing their dreams."
Romney argues in the speech that Obama has no proposals that can meet "the challenges of the times." He dismisses the president's signature legislative achievement as "his vaunted Obamacare" and says he would instead focus on saving Medicare and Social Security. He repeats many of his standard campaign themes: that Obama is focusing on small issues like "characters on Sesame Street and silly word games" and that Romney will improve kitchen-table concerns like health care, job creation and school choice. His signature refrain is that America can't afford another four years like the last four years.
The speech comes the same day the government reported a slight pickup in economic growth in the final such report before the Nov. 6 election.
The pickup to 2 percent from July to September from the 1.3 percent in the second quarter may help Obama's message that the economy is improving. Still, growth remains too weak to rapidly boost hiring. And the 1.74 percent rate for 2012 trails last year's 1.8 percent growth. Romney called the news "discouraging."
"Slow economic growth means slow job growth and declining take-home pay," Romney said in a statement. "This is what four years of President Obama's policies have produced."
The White House had a more positive take on the news in a blog post by Alan Krueger, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. "While we have more work to do, together with other economic indicators, this report provides further evidence that the economy is moving in the right direction," he wrote.
An Associated Press-GfK poll out this week shows Romney overtaking Obama as the candidate that likely voters trust more to handle the economy. The poll found 51 percent of those voters surveyed Oct. 19-23 picking Romney, compared to 44 percent for Obama. The two candidates were tied among likely voters on that issue in the previous poll in mid-September.
Still, the two are locked in a dead heat in the nationwide poll. Other surveys show a tight race in the swing states that will decide the election, with the winning candidate needing 270 Electoral College votes.
Obama was pushing back on Romney's criticism on another front — relations with Israel, which could have an impact particularly with Jewish voters in swing state Florida. The Republican has repeatedly criticized Obama for not traveling to Israel as president. Obama visited as a candidate in 2008.
A new ad shows images of Obama's trip and video of his pledge during his final debate with Romney that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon while he's president and that "our bond with Israel will be unbreakable."
Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg responded that Obama's Middle East policy "has been a failure."
"As president, Mitt Romney's first overseas trip will be to Jerusalem, and under a Romney Administration, the world will never question America's solidarity with Israel," she said in a statement.
The AP-GfK poll shows Romney has made particular gains among women after making the case that he's more qualified to make sure their families and the country are on a solid financial footing. A month ago, women favored Obama over Romney on the economy 56 percent to 40 percent. Now, the split has shifted to 49 percent for Romney and 45 percent for Obama.
Obama has tried this week to win over women on a social concern, abortion. On Thursday, the president made repeated, though indirect, references to Indiana Republican Richard Mourdock's comment that any pregnancy resulting from rape is "something God intended."
"We've seen again this week, I don't think any male politicians should be making health care decisions for women," Obama told a crowd in Richmond, Va. The president's aides pressed further, using a Web video to highlight Romney's endorsement of Mourdock and to accuse the GOP nominee of kowtowing to his party's extreme elements.
Romney, who appears in a television advertisement declaring his support for Mourdock, has ignored repeated questions on the matter.
Romney also has ignored the criticism and is instead accusing Obama of playing partisan politics in an "incredibly shrinking campaign."
"This campaign is growing. The momentum is building. We're taking back America," Romney told 12,000 supporters in Ohio late Thursday, the same night that media trackers confirmed his campaign was expanding its TV advertising into Minnesota.
The investment is described as a small buy that Democrats suggest is simply intended to generate media coverage and force Obama's campaign to invest there as well. President Richard Nixon was the last Republican to carry the state, in 1972.
Romney's running mate Paul Ryan also was spending time in states not expected to affect the race's outcome, with fundraisers in South Carolina and Alabama. Ryan was scheduled to join Romney for a rally Friday evening in North Canton, Ohio, before the vice presidential candidate embarks on a two-day, 400-mile bus tour of the state.
Vice President Joe Biden, campaigning Friday in Wisconsin, said Romney "meant what he said" when he was caught on tape saying that 47 percent of the nation considers themselves victims.
"Romney talks about victims. I don't know where the hell he lives," Biden told about 1,000 people at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. "I don't recognize the country he's talking about." The Obama campaign has a radio ad playing heavily in Wisconsin keying off of Romney's 47 percent line and using it to question the Republican's priorities.
Obama arrived back in Washington late Thursday following a 40-hour battleground state blitz of eight states. He was taking a brief break from the campaign trail Friday and spending much of the day at the White House, with a trip to Democratic Party headquarters to film a live appearance on MTV. Turning out young voters who tend to vote Democratic is a key strategy for the Obama campaign.
The president also planned Oval Office interviews Friday with American Urban Radio Networks, which has a largely black audience, and Michael Smerconish, the conservative-leaning radio host who backed him in the 2008 election.
Obama also planned to talk to local television stations in swing states. And the campaign announced Friday that the president will travel next week to Colorado, Wisconsin and Ohio for a series of campaign rallies and events.

Flooding situation settles in Gladstone as rain heads south
4.08pm: WATER levels at Awoonga dam are decreasing according to Gladstone Area Water Board CEO Jim Grayson.
"The levels have been going down for a few hours," Mr Grayson said.
The dam is designed to reach water levels of between 43.45m and 47.9m.
Today water levels peaked at 48.3m which is the highest level ever recorded.
At 4pm the water levels were around 47.6m.
Despite the record high water level, the saddle dam wall managed to stay intact.
Mr Grayson said an inspection of the saddle dam wall is currently underway.
4.01pm: RESIDENTS affected by flooding caused by ex-Tropical Cyclone Oswald in the Gladstone Regional Council, Banana Shire Council and Bundaberg Regional Council areas can now access assistance from the Queensland Government to aid in their recovery.
Communities Minister Tracy Davis said disaster relief arrangements had now been activated in these affected areas.
"Personal Hardship Assistance Scheme (PHAS) grants are now available to support those families experiencing personal hardship, by covering the immediate, unexpected basic costs of essential items such as food, clothing and accommodation due to the extreme weather," Ms Davis said.
"A grant of up to $180 per person, up to a maximum of $900 for a family of five or more, is available to eligible people experiencing genuine hardship."
For more phone the Department of Communities on 1800 173 349.
3.20pm: Authorities have confirmed risks of the Awoonga saddle dam spilling over have now passed.
Mayor Gail Sellers said water levels remain high but the dam is safe and working as it should.
2.15pm: The body of an elderly man has been retrieved from water at Burnett Heads, Police Commissioner Ian Stewart has told the press conference.
2.08pm: Premier Campbell Newman is currently holding a press conference in Brisbane regarding flooding in Queensland.
Mr Newman said Deputy Premier Tim Nicholls and Local Government Minister David Crisafulli would visit Gladstone this afternoon to see first hand how the flood relief effort was going.
He said 20 houses had been inundated at Tannum Sands and 20 at Benaraby.
"Awoonga Dam has seen very dramatic levels of water in the dam - 8.5m above normal water level," Mr Newman told the press conference.
"The saddle dam has been overtopped. It is eroding as it is meant to, with water going down that flow path.
"The dam at this stage is all holding up well."
Mr Newman said a decision would be made tomorrow about the first day of school on Tuesday, and parents should keep an ear out for announcements.
1.45pm: Emergency services personnel are assessing the damage caused by flooding throughout the Gladstone region ahead of expected fall in water levels this afternoon.
Gladstone Mayor Gail Sellers said the end to heavy rainfall caused by ex Tropical Cyclone Oswald and a drop in flood water levels was encouraging, but cautioned against people moving back into damaged areas prematurely.
"All emergency services have personnel assessing damage as they gain access to new areas, many of which are still isolated by high water," Cr Sellers said.
"All agencies, coordinated by the Gladstone Region Local Disaster Management Group, are working through the situation and are assessing the flood related issues on a priority basis.
"I can understand those who have evacuated their homes are desperate to get back to their properties, but I can only ask them to be patient as emergency personnel need to assess the affected areas for potential risks before residents can be allowed to return."
1.15pm: Woolworths has assured customers it is working hard to get new stock to stores currently impacted by severe weather conditions.
Despite delayed transport due to road closures and flooded rail lines, stock is getting through and is on its way to most impacted stores.
Gladstone (Boyne Island) and Biloela stores remain open at this stage but Woolworths will continue to monitor the situation closely.
Biloela is experiencing some stock shortages because trucks were not able to get through overnight due to road closures.
Operations and logistics teams have escalated the issue and are currently working through options to get stock to the store.
1.10pm: Optus reports there has been minimal impact to Optus mobile infrastructure in Gladstone, with 3G and 2G voice, data and fixed line services including broadband all still available to customers.
Optus engineers are in the area and are monitoring the situation closely, with generators available if needed.
11.50am: Sunwater has advised that floodwater releases from Callide and Kroombit Dams are continuing.
An additional rise in floodwater is expected over the next few hours at Jambin and Goovigen. Residents in these areas should prepare for increased flood levels.
Sunwater said flood levels may be higher than those experienced over the past 24 hours. Residents should not assume the reduction in flood levels will be maintained.
11.44am: Observer reader Noel Harvey reports at least 1350mm of rain has fallen at Siding Rd, Beecher.
He said the the total could be higher because the gauge overflowed three times and fell off once.
"We Beecher residents are thankful to Lowtian P/L who opened a third way into Beecher from Brendonna end via Jim Whyte Way a few weeks ago," he said.
"Clyde Creek at Jeffries Rd was closed until this morning and Clyde Creek at Wyndham Rd was closed Friday night and part of Saturday, so everyone who knew about the new way got home.
"All in all, the area coped very well compared to other areas," Mr Harvey said.
"And the ants knew. From six months ago until the event, just about everyone has had problems with the ants recently. They should settle down now.
11.10am: The Gladstone Harbour has re-opened to shipping, according to Gladstone regional harbor master Mike Lutze.
"But there is a lot of debris floating around the harbor still so I urge extreme caution to small vessels who decide to go out," Captain Lutze said.
Small craft vessels are restricted to daylight navigation only.
"All the debris can be very dangerous to small boats," Captain Lutze said.
10.45am: LAKE AWOONGA's saddle dam has the potential to break at any time after rainfall sent water toppling over the maximum spillway early this morning.
Around 1am the rising water level tipped 8.3m over the auxiliary spillway.
Yesterday the dam reached 6m over the spillway, and authorities were expecting it to reach 7.5m by today.
Gladstone Area Water Board CEO Jim Grayson said a part of the dam's infrastructure was designed to break away if it accumulated too much water.
At this stage the dam is designed to reach water levels of between 43.45m and 47.9m.
"The release will not have any adverse effects on the surrounding waterways, but there is a chance the South Trees Inlet and Boyne River could rise as a result," Mr Grayson said.
If the saddle dam does break then the possibility of rising flood waters in the Boyne Island, Tannum Sands and Benaraby area is very likely. More here.
9.48am: Further south, motorists are urged to take care due to widespread flooding in the Gympie and South Burnett regions.
Many major arterial roads are now cut off due to floodwater including the Mary Valley Highway, Bruce Highway, Tin Can Bay Road, Cooloola Coast Road, Rainbow Beach Road as well as many other smaller roads.
Many of these roads are unsigned and motorists are urged to limit all non-essential travel and to stay away from flooded roads.
9.43am: Ergon Energy has reported 550 customers in the Gladstone and Central area are without power.
9.30am: Premier Campbell Newman intends to visit Gladstone this week.
A representative from the Premier's office said Mr Newman would visit tornado-stricken Bargara today.
He will then travel back to Brisbane to attend a Cabinet disaster sub-committee meeting ahead of a press conference at 2pm.
It's uncertain what day Mr Newman will arrive in Gladstone, but a spokesperson assured The Observer Mr Newman fully intended to be here.
9.20am: Evacuation centres at Gladstone and Boyne-Tannum filled up overnight. Full story here.
9.08am: Queensland Fire and Rescue Service is asking people to stay well away from Awoonga Dam.
Water levels are very high and it's not a day for sightseeing.
9am: Motorists have been advised to avoid heading south to Miriam Vale because the Bruce Highway is closed between Miriam Vale and Gin Gin, and there are long delays of 6-8 hours expected. The closure is expected to last several days while repair work continues.
8.45am: Queensland Fire and Rescue Service crews attended four swift water rescues in the Gladstone region overnight. Full story here.
8.40am: Gladstone Region Local Disaster Management Group reports the flood level at Awoonga Dam has peaked. It's believed this level will hold for a number of hours.
8.05am: Floodwaters at Awoonga Dam are reported to be 8.26m above the dam wall.
Power is set to be turned off in streets in low-lying areas along the Boyne River.
7.55am: Weatherzone forecaster Josh Fisher has told News Ltd conditions are easing around Gladstone as Ex-Tropical Cyclone Oswald tracks south.
"In the past 24 hours we saw 176mm of rainfall but today there will be isolated showers in the area," he said.
The heaviest rain for today is predicted to hit the Wide Bay Burnett, south of Bundaberg, and south-east Queensland, including Brisbane and the eastern parts of the Darling Downs.
There is also the risk of more tornadoes developing.
7.20am: The Bruce Highway between Rockhampton and Gladstone is now open.
6.30am: Boyne Tannum residents in the RL 7 areas and below are being advised to urgently evacuate their homes in the next hour.
Gladstone Regional Council says the threat of inundation to these properties is likely as the high tide at 9am approaches.
Some exits may be cut off, so residents should consider leaving now.
Residents should prepare their property to be inundated, move to friends or family on higher ground or alternatively move to an evacuation centre at Tanyalla Conference Centre in Caledon St, which is providing refuge with food being provided by the Salvation Army, or the Boyne Island Community Centre.
Click here for a list of affected streets.
6.15am: Gladstone Mayor Gail Sellers says 400 properties were contacted yesterday about evacuating, with another 300 last night and a further 500 homes this morning.
The homes are in Boyne-Tannum, Pikes Crossing, South Trees and Benaraby.
Another evacuation centre will soon open at Boyne Island Community Centre.
5.20am: Gladstone Mayor Gail Sellers has urged everyone living in low lying areas along the length of the Boyne River from the dam wall to the mouth to self-evacuate.
"At around 7am in the morning there will be 7.9m of water going over the dam and this is the biggest we have ever seen," Cr Sellers said.
Properties which may be affected include: 48717-49151 Bruce Highway, Awoonga Dam Road, Barklya Court, Baruby Boulevard, Rainer Court, Ronald Crescent, Stockman Drive, Thring Street, Wynard Avenue, Marrawing Road, McCarthy Road, O'Connor Road, Panorama Circuit, Protea Court, Dedekind Avenue, Denaid Court, Harbottle Road, Hennie Drive, Hoad Road, Irma Court, Jillaroo Close, Leferink Road, Manning Road, 5-23 Gladstone-Benaraby Road.
"This means the saddle dam will operate shortly increasing the outflow from the dam. This will result in localised flooding on Awoonga Dam Rd, Pikes Crossing and nearby South Trees Inlet," Cr Sellers said.
An emergency alert has been issued for Benaraby, following further releases from Awoonga Dam, which is now at 47.2m and rising.
Boyne Island and Tannum Sands are now isolated, with both roads cut.
An evacuation centre has been opened at the PCYC in Gladstone. About 150 residents have arrived there from Benaraby Caravan Park.
The official evacuation centre for the Boyne-Tannum area is Tanyalla Conference Centre.
Cr Sellers said there was no historical data for this event, because it had never happened before.
A disaster management meeting will be held at 7am.
A flooding emergency alert also has been issued for Biloela.
The Banana Regional Shire Council is urging people in the low-lying areas of Biloela to evacuate to higher ground or to the Biloela Civic Centre.
Residents are asked to take bedding and essential supplies. Very few resources are currently available to assist.
People are also urged to keep roads clear.
The Bureau of Meterorology said at 3am the centre of ex-Tropical Cyclone Oswald was about 20km east of Baralaba and 130km west-southwest of Gladstone.
The system was moving south-east at about 15km/h and was expected to accelerate south south-east during today.
Damaging winds with peak gusts of around 110km/h are possible over the south-eastern Capricornia district, particularly near the coast.
These winds should ease within the next few hours as the system moves south.
Heavy rainfall may lead to flash flooding and worsen the existing flood situation over the south-eastern Capricornia district.
Locations that may be affected include Gladstone and Tannum Sands.
Six hour rainfall accumulations of more than 100mm are possible, potentially leading to further rapid river and stream rises in the area.

Food processors beware: Salmonella biofilms incredibly resistant to powerful disinfectants
Researchers from National University of Ireland, Galway conducted a study in which they attempted to kill Salmonella biofilms on a variety of hard surfaces, using three types of disinfectant.
"We found that it was not possible to kill the Salmonella cells using any of the three disinfectants, if the biofilm was allowed to grow for seven days before the disinfectant was applied," says Mary Corcoran, a researcher on the study. Even soaking the biofilms in disinfectant for an hour and a half failed to kill them
The impetus for the study was a European outbreak in which 160 people in 10 countries became ill with gastroenteritis (vomiting and diarrhea) from the Agona serotype of Salmonella, says Corcoran. That outbreak was traced to meat from a major food-processing facility.
"It seems that Salmonella Agona entered into the environment in the part of the facility where meat that was already cooked was being handled, and it had survived and contaminated the cooked meat," says Corcoran. "We were interested in determining if this particular Salmonella, that caused the outbreak, might have something special about it that makes it better at surviving in the environment of a food processing facility. Was it better at forming a dense biofilm or was it more resistant to disinfectants than other Salmonella?"
The research uncovered nothing special about that specific strain.
"We found that all of the types of Salmonella we looked at were able to adopt the specialized biofilm lifestyle on all of the surfaces we looked at, including glass, stainless steel, glazed tile, and plastic, and that the biofilm of Salmonella gets more dense over time, and becomes more firmly attached to the surface," she says.
Corcoran warns that food processing facilities must take strict care to keep Salmonella out of the clean areas where cooked foods get further processing and packaged
"People need to question whether disinfectants that are promoted as killing various types of bacteria are really as effective in real life situations where biofilms can form as they are claimed to be based on experiments that do not use biofilms. A lot of the time, the disinfectant may add very little, if anything, to good cleaning and appropriate food handling practices," says Corcoran. "There is a need for more research to define better methods for killing Salmonella biofilms."
In the US, an estimated million-plus cases of Salmonella occur annually, with 23,000 hospitalizations and 450 fatalities reported each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Ryan's defensive legacy to stay with Seattle
SEATTLE -- As Kyle Seager headed to the field for routine stretches before an unremarkable September game between two regular teams that will not be making the playoffs, he saw a decidedly unordinary sight. Shortstop Brendan Ryan, a Mariners mainstay since 2011, was packing his bags, having just been traded to the Yankees.
"It was definitely a surprise," Seager said. "I wish him nothing but the best; I was actually running in to head up to the field and everything, and I saw people around him, and he said he was going to the Yankees. It was definitely a shock, and hopefully it'll be a good opportunity for him there."
As inconsistent as Ryan was at the plate -- he has been below the Mendoza line for two seasons now -- he was consistently excellent in the field. The 31-year-old will leave behind a legacy of exceptional infield defense, one he has imparted on Seattle's younger players.
"That's why I was excited to come into Spring Training and get to be around those guys for the first time and try and pick up and then use it," Brad Miller said. "He was a great teammate, and he even said, 'Hey, keep working on the stuff we've been talking about,' and that's awesome. That really is the sign of a pretty good teammate."
The arrival of Miller from Triple-A relegated Ryan to a part-time role early in the summer. The rookie shortstop entered Wednesday's game batting .259 with 31 RBIs, and he has played well enough defensively to be the club's everyday shortstop. Ryan impressed teammates and coaches alike with his mature reaction to the demotion as he sought to help Miller improve.
"I thought that Brendan Ryan handled it like a pro," manager Eric Wedge said. "When you talk about young kids coming up and taking playing time from you, it's something that you've got to handle one way or the other, and I thought he handled it the right way -- like a pro. Not only that but he was working to try to help those guys, and that says a lot for him."
Now Ryan will have a chance to make an impact for a contender. Although he will be ineligible for postseason play, Ryan can provide clutch defensive play for the Yankees, who are in thick of the Wild Card race.

Listen to Maroon 5's 'Moves Like Jagger' - As a Lullaby
The track has been reworked to include xylophones, marimbas, wood blocks, and bells.
Sure, Maroon 5's hit song, "Moves Like Jagger," was completely addicting, but most parents weren't putting it on their child's bedtime playlist.
But then Rockabye Baby stepped in, worked their musical magic and Adam Levine's tune was transformed into a sweet and soothing lullaby.
The track, which is featured on Rockabye Baby's Maroon 5 album, out Aug. 19, has been reworked to include xylophones, marimbas, wood blocks, and bells.
Even cuter? The song's music video (see an exclusive first look below!), which plays homage to the band's lead singer with a too-cute teddy bear that walks the red carpet, spins around in his own version of The Voice's red captain chair and delivers an adorable performance on stage.

Although Levine and his newlywed wife Behati Prinsloo aren't parents quite yet — she recently revealed they are "definitely" planning to have a baby — we think we just found the perfect nighttime lullaby for their little one when the time is right.

Three up, three down: Scherzer dealing a big year
Tigers right-hander improves record to 16-1, while Kimbrel and Price are hot, too
UP: Max Scherzer
Step aside, Miguel Cabrera. Max Scherzer is moving to center stage for the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers extended their current winning streak to eight games on Sunday, giving them 12 wins in 13 games, with Cabrera having played in only four of them, and they have taken a three-game lead on Cleveland in the American League Central. Scherzer ran his record to 16-1 with a weekend victory, the first pitcher to open a season 16-1 since Roger Clemens in 2001.
Scherzer, however, would seem to actually have an edge on Clemens. Not only does he have a lower ERA with his 16-1 start (2.85 compared to 3.46), but Clemens earned his 16th win in his 25th start, finishing the season 20-3. Scherzer earned No. 16 on Friday, 12 days earlier than Clemens did in 2001. What's more, he has as many as 10 starts remaining, while Clemens made only seven more starts. That means Scherzer could actually win as many as 26 games. No pitcher has won that many since Bob Welch of Oakland won 27 in 1990. John Smoltz won 24 with Atlanta in 1996 and Randy Johnson had 24 wins for Arizona in 2002.
Scherzer's record is not a matter of home-field advantage, either. He is 6-0 in 10 road starts, and has allowed a .174 batting average while compiling a 2.21 ERA outside Comerica Park. And to think, it was in December 2009 when then-Arizona general manager Josh Byrnes dealt Scherzer to Detroit in a three-team deal that brought the Diamondbacks Ian Kennedy, who was traded last week to San Diego (where Byrnes is now the GM) and Edwin Jackson, who was dealt to the White Sox in July 2010 for David Holmberg and Daniel Hudson.
DOWN: Charlie Manuel
He brought continued success to the Phillies, managing the team to five consecutive postseason appearances, the highlight being the second World Series championship in franchise history in 2008. But it's a what-have-you-done-lately world for big league managers, and given that Manuel is in the final year of his contract, he has been getting extra attention during the Phillies' fade.
Having lost 13 of 14 -- their worst 14-game stretch since a 1-18 slide in 1999 -- they go into the week 50-61, having gone from 6 1/2 games out of first place to 15 1/2 back in the past two weeks. The Phillies are feeling the pains of aging and injuries. Dominic Brown (24 home runs, 69 RBIs) is only player with more than 15 home runs or 43 RBIs, and there isn't a regular on the active roster hitting .275. It's been even worse in the past 14 games, during which Darin Ruf (.273) and John Mayberry (.255) are the only regulars hitting above .241, and the team has had a Major League-worst .198 average while scoring just 33 runs.
UP: Craig Kimbrel
Kimbrel has been perfect since May 9, having converted 24 of 24 save opportunities while allowing one run in 30 innings over 30 appearances. The Braves open a series at Washington on Monday with a 12 1/2-game lead on the secon- place Nationals in the National League East and their second 10-game winning streak of the season. It's the Braves' biggest division lead since Sept. 2, 2003, and their bullpen has been critical to their success.
The seven current members of the Atlanta bullpen have a combined 1.87 ERA since May 8, including Kimbrel at 0.30 and left-handed specialist Luis Avilan at 0.52. In sandwiching three-game sweeps of St. Louis and Philadelphia around a four-game sweep of the Rockies, the Braves have seen their bullpen allow only two earned runs in its past 31 innings, while the offense has outscored the opposition, 66-25, including 14 runs scored by newly installed leadoff hitter Jason Heyward, who also has driven in 10 runs during the streak. The Braves scored five or more runs in an inning in a record five consecutive games, too.
DOWN: The Windy City
OK, the Cubs are struggling, but that was expected. They are undergoing a major rebuilding plan. But the White Sox? This is a team that was in the AL Central race until the final days last season. But not this season. Having extended their losing streak to 10 games on Sunday, they find themselves 8 1/2 games out of fourth place and 24 games behind the Tigers. The 10-game losing streak is the longest for the team since June 11-20, 1976 and equals the sixth-longest losing streak in franchise history. The Sox lost 13 in a row in 1924, 12 in a row in 1927 and 11 in a row in 1910, 1921 and 1956.
The problem has been the offense -- or a lack thereof. While Adam Dunn, of all people, has hit .342 during the past 10 games, the White Sox have scored only 18 runs, being held to two or fewer in eight of the games. Adding to the agony, the Sox have had only two save opportunities, both against Cleveland, during that time -- July 30 when Matt Lindstrom let a 4-3 lead in the eighth turn into a 7-4 loss, and July 31 when Addison Reed was unable to protect a 5-4 ninth-inning lead.
UP: David Price
End the debate. Price was hurting early, but he is healthy now. Price is 5-1 with a 1.57 ERA in seven starts since coming off the disabled list. He has issued one walk and struck out 40 in 57 1/3 innings and has been a key part of Tampa Bay's 25-6 surge, during which the Rays have climbed from fourth place in the AL East to just a game back of Boston. And don't overlook Chris Archer, who has gone 4-1 with a 1.84 ERA during the Rays' rise, and Matt Moore, who is 4-0 with a 2.08 ERA. Not surprisingly, the Rays have an AL-best 2.50 ERA during the past 31 games. And they also are hitting .272, less than a percentage point behind Detroit, which leads the AL in hitting during that stretch. The Rays haven't lost a series during the 31 games, and are 11-3 against teams with winning records.
DOWN: Hanley Ramirez
OK, the Dodgers are hot. They extended their club-record road winning streak to 14 games with a 1-0 victory at over the Cubs on Sunday. All, however, is not well.
Outfielder Matt Kemp has been out since July 22. The hope is Yaisel Puig, who tweaked a wrist when he dove for a ball on Saturday and was out of the lineup on Sunday, will return as early as Monday night in St. Louis. The Dodgers are confident enough about Puig's health that outfielder Scott Van Slyke was sent to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room for starting pitcher Stephen Fife. And then there is Hanley Ramirez, who came out of Sunday's game with what was described as a jammed right shoulder, sustained when he fell into the stands catching a foul ball. Ramirez has been a catalyst in the Dodgers' resurgence. They are 37-17 since he came off the disabled list on June 4, and he has teamed with Puig to provide the push for a Dodgers team that has hit .272 since June 4 (second in the National League only to St. Louis' .279). Puig has hit .373 with 11 home runs and 25 RBIs, appearing in 52 of the games, and Ramirez, who has played in 50 of them, has hit .356 with 10 home runs and a team-best 36 RBIs. Without Ramirez, the Dodgers on Sunday turned to Nick Punto, who has one home run and 14 RBIs in 213 at-bats.

Students have 'new outlook on life' after Out Back program
Students describe 11 days in NH without phones, computers
Holderness School student Jason Nunez of New York City said he has a new outlook on life after completing an 11-day hike across the White Mountains, including three days of being alone in the cold and snowy woods.
"I appreciate everything more," said the 17-year-old, after getting off a mini-bus which delivered him to an enthusiastic crowd of parents, students and supporters gathered on the campus Thursday morning.
"I missed my bed, yeah I missed the bed the most," he said.
Leaving cellphones, laptops, watches and every high-tech gadget teens are used to, the students left pavement on Monday, March 3 and hiked over 25 miles over 4,000-foot peaks on snowshoes, wearing 70-pound packs. There were no tents, only tarps to protect them from the cold, rain and snow.
To make matters worse, last Friday, they were given rations and sent out for a three-day solo experience, in which they were asked to write themselves a letter.
Susan Levin Paine of New York City, whose son, Sam, was also on the quest, said initially her son's best friend Jason was not going to go and had no interest in going on Out Back. But in the end, when other students said that it was an accomplishment he would miss out on, he decided reluctantly to go.
"It's an incredible accomplishment," said Paine, who herself went as a student in 1981.
Even her son was not looking forward to it but "was resigned to it" knowing it was an essential part of the Holderness School experience.
While there was some gorgeous weather during that period, this past Tuesday's rain was dispiriting for many of the students.
"It was dumping," said Parker Weekes, 17, of Sun Valley, Idaho. "I am terrified of being alone," but he survived the solo and found it "life-changing."
Ann Rasmussen of Plymouth was joyfully there to welcome her daughter, Emily.
"I couldn't believe how happy she is. I am in awe of this whole thing," she said.
Jesse Ross of Gilford said he missed light shoes the most. He had to wear rubber boots on his snowshoes. And he said the one thing he learned was "group dynamics." They were placed in groups of about eight students and had to work together to get through.
His mother, Sue, said she began to worry about Out Back from the day he became a freshman.
"I worried that he would have adequate food," she said. "But he looks great."
She said, "It was a test for me, too."
One family had three generations who have now all accomplished the Out Back experience.
Loli Hammond, a faculty spouse, went out at age 51 to help. She said she was in good shape and it was hard but not awful. She was there to see her grandson, Chase O'Connor, return with her daughter and son-in-law, who also went to the school and experienced Out Back in the 1980s.
Chase said Tuesday was a test.
"It was freezing," he said of the rain.
The students get a few weeks to relax with their family and friends on break and take in the experience but what seemed a constant was that everyone was proud they did it, happy to be back to creature comforts, and that they had a lifetime experience in the outdoors that they will never forget.

30 Pounds Lost
It feels kind of surreal to be at my 55 day mark with 30 pounds of weight lost. It's strange because the last time I did this I started september 15 and this year I started september 10… so it feels almost like deja vu. Living the same stuff over again. I can't wait to get down to 238. That was the weight I was when I met the love of my life. And it took two years, but I put the weight back on. I focused on love and indulging in wine and going out instead of eating right and exercising. What's great is he is 100% supportive. He even does workout videos with me, goes hiking with me, and doesn't keep bad food in the house. We both are looking at this as a good life style change. We want to get married and have a family and we want to be an active healthy couple. So I have no excuse. I have a lot of loving support and the motivation. It's just hard to live the same weight loss journey over again at the same time only 2 years later. It's kind of discouraging. I believe though that when I get down to that 238, I will feel motivated again….and I will only be 40 pounds from the 100's. Oh to be under 200! I haven't been under 200 since I was in high school. Onderland is truly a motivation. I have started and stopped dieting so many times. I can't wait to finally hit my goal. The one I keep writing down over and over again…but giving up to soon to reach it. Talk about surreal. I just need to reach it this time. I need to do it. I need to know that I can and I need to know what it feels like. It's going to be amazing. 🙂

Alvin Hewitt was the first baby born at Kiowa County Memorial Hospital after it opened in 1950.
Today, the hospital is gone. So are the red brick high school, the single-screen movie theater, the soda shop, City Hall, the county courthouse. Like 95 percent of this little town on the prairies of southwest Kansas, they were destroyed by a tornado that struck a year ago Sunday.
Mr. Hewitt could have taken his insurance check and moved away, as about half the town's residents did. He didn't.
On the first anniversary of the storm, President Bush returned to Greensburg to celebrate its "year-long journey from tragedy to triumph" as exemplified by the stubborn determination of a town full of Alvin Hewitts: hundreds of people who refused to simply salvage what they could and then drive away from the rubble.
By the estimate of state Democratic House leader Dennis McKinney, at least half of the 1,400 residents remained. They are rebuilding the town, turning the town green – figuratively and literally.
The town, founded in 1886 and named for a 19th-century stagecoach driver, D.R. "Cannonball" Green, is rising again, built this time with a raft of energy-saving measures incorporated in the designs. Wind turbines and solar panels are contributing power. Native grasses are being planted to reduce the need for water.
The goal is to rebuild every public structure to the highest standards of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification program. If successful, Greensburg will be the first US town to achieve the "platinum" level in the building industry program.
A quick ride through Greensburg suggests the distance it still has to travel. Entire city blocks are barren but for an occasional elm. The schools are a collection of double-wide trailers used as classrooms. Where the theater stood, there's a jumble of bricks. But a few blocks beyond, single-story townhouses are taking shape.
School and church define much of the life here. Before the tornado leveled all but one of the 11 churches, rush hour was Sunday morning. With its own power plant, hospital, John Deere and GM dealerships, Greensburg was largely self-sufficient. But when a tornado with winds of 200 m.p.h. struck on May 4, 2007, it took only 10 minutes to level the 1-1/2-square-mile town, the National Weather Service estimated.
"I was leery about building back. It was so devastating. There was so much cleanup. There was just no hope of getting things back to normal," Mr. Hewitt said. But, he recalled, his son, Steve, the town administrator, "said this is a total opportunity for us to start over."
And so Hewitt used his insurance settlement to replace his destroyed two-story home with a one-story house with extra insulation in the walls, windows built to resist the prairie winds, and heating pipes using recycled water and built into the foundation's concrete to keep the basement warm.
"There's a sense we can make good things happen," said wheat farmer Dennis McKinney. After the storm, when asked by outsiders whether the town would rebuild, he says, "We'd pause, because we never thought of that question. It was a given. This is our home."
