Green Bullard was a pioneer settler of Berrien county. He came to the area of present day Ray City, GA with his parents some time before 1850. They settled on 490 acres of land acquired by his father, Amos Bullard, in the 10th Land District, then in Lowndes county, GA (cut into Berrien County in 1856).
Following the commencement of the Civil War Green Bullard, and his nephew, Alfred Anderson, went to Nashville, GA and signed up on March 4, 1862 with the Berrien Light Infantry, which was being formed at that time. The company traveled to Camp Davis, a temporary training camp that had been established two miles north of present day Guyton, GA (then known as Whitesville, GA). There they received medical examinations and were mustered in as Company I, 50th Georgia Regiment on March 30, 1862.
For many of the men in the 50th Regiment, this was the farthest they had ever been from home and the largest congregation of people they had ever seen. Coming from the relative isolation of their rural farms and small south Georgia communities, many received their first exposure to communicable diseases such as Dysentery, Chicken Pox, Mumps, Measles, or Typhoid fever. The first cases of Measles were reported within days of the men's arrival and at times nearly two-thirds of the regiment were unfit for duty due to illness. On April 7, 1862 Bullard's nephew, Alfred Anderson, reported sick with "Brain Fever" [probably either encephalitis or meningitis] while at Camp Davis, with no further records of his service. With so many down sick, the Regiment could barely drill or even put on guard duty. As the summer wore on, those that were fit participated in the barricading of the Savannah River and in coastal defenses.
"In May 1862 the Confederate Government established a General Hospital in Guyton, GA," near Camp Davis. "This hospital was located on a nine acre tract of land adjacent to the Central Railroad… From May 1862 to December 1864, this hospital provided medical care, food, clothing, and lodging for thousands of sick and wounded Confederate soldiers." – Historical Marker, Guyton Confederate General Hospital.
Finally, in mid-July the 50th Regiment moved out via train to Richmond, VA where they joined Drayton's Brigade in the CSA Army of Northern Virginia. The Regiment bivouacked first at Camp Lee. Camp Lee was a Confederate training camp that had been converted from the Hermitage Fair Grounds near Richmond, with the exhibit halls converted into barracks and hospitals. The grounds were filled with the tents of infantry and artillery companies. The men bathed in a shallow creek, "but it is doubtful if their ablutions in that stream are productive of cleanliness," opined the Richmond Whig in August of 1862.
On August 20, 1863 the 50th Georgia Regiment moved out to see their first real action. but by that time company muster rolls show that Green Bullard was absent from the unit, with the note "Left at Lee's Camp, Va. sick Aug 21st." On September 7, 1862 Bullard was admitted to the Confederate hospital at Huguenot Springs, VA. Company mate Pvt William W. Fulford was also attached to the convalescent hospital at that time. The hospital muster roll of October 31, 1862 marks him "present: Bounty Paid". He remained "absent, sick" from Company I at least through February, 1863.
On June 19, 1863 Bullard was admitted to Chimborazo Hospital Division No. 2, Richmond, VA this time with typhoid pneumonia. Typhoid fever was a major killer during the war. At that same time, James A. Fogle was a Steward at Chimborazo Division No. 3. Fogle was later promoted to Assistant Surgeon, and after the war came to Berrien County to open a medical practice at Alapaha, GA.
Sometime before February of 1864 Green Bullard returned to his unit. Records show he drew pay on February 29, 1864 and again on August 31 of that year. By October, 1864 he was again sick, but remained with his company. He continued fighting through his illness through November and December,1864. It was during this period (1864) that the 50th Georgia Regiment was engaged in battles at The Wilderness (May 5–6, 1864), Spotsylvania Court House (May 8–21, 1864), North Anna (May 23–26, 1864), Cold Harbor (June 1–3, 1864, Petersburg Siege (June 1864-April 1865, and Cedar Creek (October 19, 1864.)
At Cedar Creek, it is estimated that the Georgia 50th Regiment suffered more than 50% casualties. Among those captured was Jesse Bostick of Company G, the Clinch Volunteers. Bostick was sent to Point Lookout, Maryland, one of the largest Union POW camps. (see Jesse Bostick and the Battle of Cedar Creek.)
By January, 1865 Bullard was too weak to continue fighting. He was sent to Receiving and Wayside Hospital (General Hospital No. 9), Richmond, VA. From there he was transferred to Jackson Hospital, Richmond, VA where he was admitted with dysentery, which was perhaps the leading cause of death during the Civil War. Two months later, March 14, 1865 Bullard was furloughed from Jackson Hospital. No further service records were found. Following less than one month, on April 9, 1865, Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, VA ending the War.
Twice as many Civil War soldiers died from disease as from battle wounds, the result in considerable measure of poor sanitation in an era that created mass armies that did not yet understand the transmission of infectious diseases like typhoid, typhus, and dysentery… Confederate men died at a rate three times that of their Yankee counterparts; one in five white southern men of military age did not survive the Civil War. http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/travel/national_cemeteries/death.html
Despite the odds and repeated bouts of serious illness, Green Bullard survived the war and returned to home and farm in Berrien County, GA.

Hunger No More: Leader's Guide
Hunger No More is designed to help parishes open up a discussion of long-term issues related to hunger, poverty and powerlessness in the United States and the developing world. The study engages people in a conversation about their faith–with prayerful reflection, dialogue and response–to understand how we can move closer to the promise of Revelation 7:16: "They shall hunger no more."
The Hunger No More kit includes a six-session leader's guide for adults and youth. Six separate handouts support each session and feature stories from scripture and from life, references for further study, and complementary activities for children. All materials can be photocopied.
Biblical passages introduce key discussion themes, including: wealth and poverty–its causes and solutions the impact of hunger on children in the world; and balancing personal and social responsibility for helping hungry people.
Suggested use for:
- Lenten series

Ready or not, UConn football hits prime time this week.
Ready or not, UConn football hits prime time this week.
UConn (0-2) hosts No. 15 Michigan (3-0) on Saturday night in a game that will be televised nationally.
While it may be just another road game for Michigan, It is being billed as a milestone for the UConn program, on par with the Huskies' 2009 upset win at Notre Dame or their 2011 appearance in the Fiesta Bowl.
The school has added 2,300 temporary seats to Rentschler Field and expects to have more than 42,000 people inside the stadium, the largest crowd in school history.
"What the seniors are going to soon start figuring out is, it doesn't get any better than this," UConn coach Paul Pasqualoni said. "Being at home for my senior year, playing against a quality opponent on TV. I don't know how or when it gets better than that for a football player."
The start of the season couldn't have gone much worse. The Huskies were booed at home during their first two games. They lost their opener by more than two touchdowns to Towson, a school from the Football Championship Subdivision; and then gave up more than 500 yards in a 32-21 loss to Maryland, a team coached by Randy Edsall, who left UConn to take that job.
Wide receiver Geremy Davis said the best part about playing Michigan, is that all those negatives can be washed away with one win.
"A lot of us have been, I won't say necessarily down, but we're amped to play Michigan," he said. "Beating them would be a huge step in overcoming the first two games that we had."
But there is also the bigger picture for the UConn program. Michigan is the biggest out-of-conference name ever to visit East Hartford, with all due respect to North Carolina State, Vanderbilt and Baylor. The Wolverines will be followed by BYU, Boise State and Tennessee over the next three seasons.
"For our program — from a recruiting standpoint, from an excitement standpoint, from a notion that you come to UConn, you're going to have a chance to compete against the best and be the best — I think it's important," Pasqualoni said. "So, I'm pretty excited."
It's not clear the fan base feels the same way. The temporary seats were added to accommodate Michigan fans, who were guaranteed 5,000 tickets and are expected to have thousands more in the stands. The game didn't sell out until Monday.
"It will give our fans motivation to be louder than the Michigan fans," Pasqualoni said.
This is the second half of a home-and-home series. Michigan hosted UConn in 2010, beating the Huskies, 30-10, before 113,090 fans in a game that marked the reopening of the newly renovated Michigan Stadium. Michigan had talked to UConn about moving the return game out of East Hartford to a larger stadium to accommodate its alumni in the Northeast.
But because the game is the marquee matchup on UConn's home schedule, the Huskies declined.
This will be the Wolverines' first road trip of the year, and first trip to New England since a 1995 visit to Boston College.
Michigan's sports information department said this will be the smallest stadium the Wolverines have played in since 1991, when the capacity at Boston College was just over 32,000. It will be the smallest crowd they have played in front of since 2007, when 40,604 watched Michigan play at Northwestern.
Any chance that the Wolverines might be taking the Huskies lightly was wiped out this weekend, when Michigan escaped a scare at home with a 28-24 win over Akron, making two defensive stops inside the 5-yard line to hang on.
"It doesn't matter who is there watching it," Michigan coach Brady Hoke said. "It really matters about how we prepare, how we get ready and how we play."

I'm suffering from a spam hack where my site periodically starts to show Viagra spam to Google and other spiders. The method of the hack is basically that my .htaccess file gets modified to route all requests through a file called "common.php", which is a big chunk of base64 encoded evilness.
I've noticed it happening on a weekly basis: every time I remove the hacked files, it pops back up a few days later. These are the steps I've already taken to secure things:
Changed my FTP password
Scanned my (shared hosting) directories for world-writable (777) files/folders and changed them to 755 or something more appropriate
Removed old copies of Wordpress from unused directories (the site itself is a custom-written PHP CodeIgniter app)
Downloaded the entire site to my local box and scanned the directories for occurences of strings like "base64" and ".ru" (spam domains?).
I'm a little uncertain what to do next as the problem still seems to be there. Is there some smart shell command I can run to figure out how these files are being uploaded? When I last checked, the .htaccess file was edited today by my own FTP user despite me changing the password a week ago and logging out any logged-in users. I don't leave it logged in on public machines, and a few other administrators of the site haven't been given the new password yet.
Any tips / ideas gratefully received. I'm happy to provide the output of any specific commands as needed.

Potts experimented with a few players..Dobson-from centre forward to Centre midfield to name one
Afterwards..Brennan-from forward to left back..
Docherty-from midfield to right back..
all tried and tested competetively..
Quote:BBC 2
Its not brain surgery, he is using the last few games to try out players in different positions,
Maybe he's not planning on playing him primarily up front next season? Maybe he feels Austin and Ings might not have the height/strengh/hold up play required?
Maybe he's planning on bringing another striker in with some of the money raised for Jay?
Maybe thats why he's trying him in different positions in meaningless games?
Who knows. Plenty of possibilities.
I guess McCann was shifted left for a bit of cover. He did cut his teeth at left-midfield I seem to remember.
Maybe aggi, but I'm not sure why, McQuoid normally plays wide, he could have provided the cover, it wouldn't be anything he doesn't usually do.
Listening to the radio (5 live) they had us with a 4-5-1 in the first half and Ings moving up to make it 4-4-2 in the second.
They never keep to a rigid formation though do they, for the most part Marney was just in front of the back four, with Bartley, Ings and McCann in front of him. Charlie was up front with McQuoid playing off him and sometimes dropping deep into midfield. If you had to put it into numbers I'd say it was, 4-1-3-1-1 for the most part.
When Marney went off it was 4-4-2, with McQuoid, Bartley, McCann, Stanislas in midfield, and Charlie and Ings up front. Suddenly everyone seemed to know what they were doing and for half an hour we looked a decent team again. And to be fair to him, I've not been over-impressed with Stanislas so far, but he looked a class act when he came on.

A DRIVER who knocked down and killed a pensioner in a Blackburn street tried to stop as soon as he saw her appear from between to stationary cars, his defence barrister has said.
Hussain Ali, 29, appeared in court charged with causing 79-year-old Maria Parkinson's death by driving his Volkswagen Golf carelessly.
The defendant, of St Silas' Road, Blackburn, admitted he was driving above the 30mph speed limit before the crash.
But his barrister Mark Stuart said had his client not been involved in the collision, he might have only been punished with points on his license if he had been stopped by the police.
Mr Stuart said: "The defendant is mortified that he caused the death of Mrs Parkinson.
"Nobody is suggesting that when Mr Ali set out from his home address, which is probably half a mile away from the scene of the accident, he was setting off with any intention whatsoever of committing any criminal offences.
"The length of time of reacting is very important in this particular case. It is a very short period of time.
"He quite simply failed to see her and as soon as he did, he applied the brakes and stopped as soon as he could."
Preston Crown Court heard how Ali, who admits causing death by careless driving, had no previous convictions and 'not a blemish' on his driving record.
Great-grandmother Mrs Parkinson, who was also known as Marie, was killed as she crossed Spring Lane in July 2012. A coroner ruled last year that her death was 'accidental'.
Mr Stuart said it had taken the Crown Prosecution Service some time to decide to bring a case against Ali because of its complexity.
He said: "It is two years since the time of this incident. Whilst the defendant was spoken to at a very early stage, it was only after well over a year that the crown decided to charge the defendant with any criminal offence arising out if this matter."
Ali was in India when he heard a prosecution was being brought and he returned voluntarily soon after.
Judge Michael Byrne had warned Ali at a previous hearing that he faced a 'substantial period' of disqualification from driving and that he could be sent to prison.
He will be sentenced on Friday.

Since 1 September 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emissions. As of 1 September 2018 the WLTP replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. This may lead to corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from 1 September 2018. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp.
Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, regardless of the type approval process used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. As far as new cars (which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP) are concerned, the NEDC values will, therefore, be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period. To the extent that NEDC values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer.

CJ Entertainment's historical drama Masquerade [pictured] has clocked up over 10 million admissions, becoming the seventh Korean film to pass that benchmark at the local box office.
Directed by Choo Chang-min, the film stars crossover actor Lee Byung-hun from films such as Kim Jee-woon's I Saw The Devil and the Hollywood G.I. Joe franchise.
Lee plays dual roles as a paranoid, womanising monarch who finds a doppelganger to avoid assassination and a commoner who looks like the king. When the real king is poisoned, the imposter is forced to take his place temporarily and starts implementing new policies that focus on the people instead of politics.
Released Sept 13, the film had made it to 10,041,566 admissions and grossed $66.1m by Oct 20, according to KOFIC's ticketing system. CJ is touting this as the same rate as all-time box office hit Avatar in Korea.
This year has been a busy one for local hits, with Showbox's heist film The Thieves going over 13 million admissions on Oct 2, displacing Bong Joon-ho's 2006 film The Host (also distributed by Showbox at the time) as Korea's top local film at the box office.

Mumbai BMC skilled workers to get Sixth Pay Commission BenefitsHow much money will it cost the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) for implementing the Sixth Pay Commission implementations?
It is estimated that around 1500 Crores of Rs. will be required to implement the 6th Pay Commission for Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) staff. The good news is that it will benefit the BMC staff employees, but the problem is that it will leave very little amount for the Civic Body to provide facilitites in the metro city.
General Sixth Pay Commission Salary Hike & Arrears Calculator (Indicative)
Salary Calculator for Pension calculations for Sixth Pay Commission Salary Hike (Indicative)
What are the sources of income for Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC)?
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) earns its money from multiple sources - from Property taxes, water charges, sewage charges, Octroi collection and so on. The funds collected from these sources and mediums are the sources for money for BMC.
Now that the implementation of Sixth Pay Commission will require extra 1500 Crores to the BMC, it will mean that no new projects can be taken up by the BMC for the next 2-4 year period. It will again depend upon how and when is the BMC able to pay for the arrears of the salary hike to its staff, depending upon the fund availability.
Which projects are going to take a hit if the Sixth Pay Commission salary hike implemetation is made?
There are many projects which will be halted - some of them include construction work for Crawford Market underground parking lots, Mumbai Eye Project, Many projects for road concretisation and reconstruction of hospitals. In fact, many of these have already been put on hold, as per the media reports.
How has this decision of Sixth Pay Commission salary hike implemetation come through for BMC?
This decision has seen the light of the day because of threat of indefinite strike by the BMC employees. Although projects and construction work will be halted or put on hold for fund requriements, it is the time to rejoice for the BMC employees.
As of now, no dates are confirmed about the exact implementation dates, and the dates of payment of arrears for BMC employees, but atleast the decision has come through

In the biogas process you often measure Volatile solid and Total solids. Can any one explain these concepts more accurately and why it is interesting to look at these properties.
The biogas process I refer to is a process of fermenting waste food materials and slaugther house waste in to bio fuels, consisting largely of methane. The fermentation is conducted in anaerobic milieu in large plants.
Total solids and Volatile solid are measurements on the sludge the currently fermented waste,(the gooey stuff that is in the bio-reactor).

Here we go, here we go! We're getting into the big categories now, here are the Best Actor Nominees for 2012! The five actors in leading roles who made the most memorable impressions this last year!
Click through to see who the nominees are!
Bradley Cooper
"Silver Linings Playbook"
"Silver Linings Playbook" is the story of a man with impulse control issues, fresh out of the psychiatric ward, obsessed with reuniting with his wife. Cooper plays him as edgy, antsy and unstable. As he gets involved with Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), you're rooting for him to realize what a good thing he has in front of him, and let go of his obsessions. Manic, funny and sweet, Cooper's performance deserves all the praise it's getting.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Day-Lewis takes our collective vision of Abraham Lincoln and embodies it on the silver screen. From there, he proceeds to put on an energetic, humorous, impassioned performance. It's immersive… you'll never once question you're watching an actor and not Lincoln, he's that authentic. It's bound to be a legendary role, and will add another jewel to his already formidable filmography.
Hugh Jackman
"Les Miserables"
Jackman puts his soul on display here, singing and emoting with everything he's got. In order to play Jean Valjean, he lost a considerable amount of weight to reflect the character's gaunt condition as a prisoner. But it's his impassioned, heartfelt singing that makes the role so memorable. Jackman reaches down deep and belts it out, while acting at the same time. It's an impressive performance to watch… and to listen to.
Ewan McGregor
"The Impossible"
McGregor stars as a husband who is separated from his wife and eldest son during the Indian Ocean Tsunami. Frightened and grief-stricken, but resolute, he treks through the desolation searching for his loved ones, even though there's little actual reason to hope. McGregor conveys all of that, the fear, the sorrow, the blind hope… it's the type of performance that will put you through the wringer, in the best of ways.
Joaquin Phoenix
"The Master"
You won't run across characters like Freddie Quell everyday, that's for certain. He's unstable, unlikable, and a touch dangerous. Literally, he's a basket case. When he gets involved with "The Master", he slowly begins to settle down, but a hint of danger always lurks beneath. Phoenix gives an incredible, transformative, mildly crazed, unforgettable performance here. The best word I can think of is "Edgy".
There they are people! The five nominees for the 2012 FMR MAJOR Award for Best Actor!
What do YOU think? Did Denzel get snubbed? How about anyone else, think I omitted someone unfairly? Do any of these guys not deserve the praise, in your opinion? Which one do you think should win?
Let us hear it!!

Tournament Information
All players participating in this tournament must do so on their PC or PlayStation 4 console only. Any player(s) found competing on their Xbox One will be forfeited and immediately removed from the tournament with NO REFUND.
Proof For Wrong Platform
You can show this by using the in-game system in the lobby before starting to see if you can view their profile on ps4 then they are on the correct console. If you are unable to view their profile then it would show that they are in fact not on the right console. This proof MUST be in video form to have this be a valid form of a forfeit.
Teaming is allowed. however, teams that have queued up together are NOT ALLOWED to contribute/cause the death of the player(s) they're competing against within that queued game session. This includes but is not limited to, destroying structures, causing a fall, etc. Players caught doing so will be forfeited from their match. Any claims of this happening must be submitted in video form in a match dispute ticket. We will not accept screenshots in this case. There will be no exceptions.
Example: You will party up as a SQUAD or DUOS with your opponent based on the type of match (1v1, 2v2). Any player inside of that queued session MAY NOT destroy any bases made by their opponent, make them fall, or any other actions that may help lead to that person's death.
Examples of sabotage include but are not limited to:
Breaking or weakening opponent's built or non built structures or cover by any means.
Causing opponents to miss shots or miss opportunities for advancing their scores in any way shape or form.
Building in front of your opponent.

Savoy Tavern in Merrick: Disappointing changes
Barely a month after it opened in the former home of Brooks & Porter, Savoy Tavern has a new chef and a revised menu. Kenneth Pulomena, who saw the kitchen through its opening, has been replaced by Alexis Trolf, formerly of Caffe Laguna and Swingbelly's in Long Beach.
Our first bites of the new set up were not promising. Panelle, the great Sicilian chickpea fritters, appear here as both bar snacks and slider fillings. When the restaurant opened, the sliders were made with rolls from Spiga Bakery in Bellmore. Those rolls have been replaced with cottony, characterless mini burger buns. The panelle themselves were too small, rendering them more redolent of "fry" than of "chickpea." Sicily should sue. "Tuscan" pork buns labored under the same bun handicap.
A chopped salad made with "select vegetables" and "market greens" was nothing more than chopped mesclun with some segments of blanched green beans, asparagus and carrots. A request that the chef dress the salad with lemon and olive oil was ignored; the salad was served with a dish of olive oil on the side. (Chefs: If you want me to dress my own salad, please provide a large-enough bowl, a pepper mill and a pair of tongs.)
An iceberg wedge was actually a slab, topped with a gloppy mixture of tomato, bacon and Gorgonzola-buttermilk dressing.
Meatloaf was dense and inedibly salty. A pan-seared veal chop ($30) was actually butterflied, breaded and pan fried. It held none of the juicy promise that made us order it. I liked the chewy texture of the cavatelli in the mac & cheese (my companions did not) but we all agreed that the cheese was too soupy. We also all agreed that our friendly, efficient server was the best part of the meal.
I understand that sometimes the market demands that a restaurant scale back its ambitions. Polenta is replaced by mashed potatoes. A Berkshire pork chop is replaced by less exalted meat. A wines-by-the-glass list gives varietals but not winemakers. But there's no market for food that doesn't taste good.
The Savoy Tavern is at 16 Merrick Ave., Merrick, 516-506-7717.

Today's post is from Morris Proctor, certified and authorized trainer for Logos Bible Software. Morris has trained thousands of Logos users at his two-day Camp Logos training seminars.
A Logos user recently e-mailed me asking how to limit a Bible search to just the words of Christ. For example, he wanted to locate the word servant in the red lettered words of his Bible. Here's what I told him:
- Click the Search icon to open the Search panel
- Select Bible as the search type
- On the Search line containing numerous drop down lists, click the last list and select an English Bible like the English Standard Version (ESV)
- Click the second drop down list if using a PC, or the first for Mac users, and select Words of Christ (Words of Christ is a field in most English Bibles much like Name, Address, Zip Code, etc are fields on an application form. With this selection you're indicating you only want to search the Words of Christ field in your designated Bible. Default is set to All Bible Text.)
- In the Find box, type your desired word or phrase, such as servant or fear not
- Click the search arrow in the Find box
Now you'll see whereyour word or phrase only appears in the red lettered text of the Bible!

Record 18 countries already entered in PBA World Series of Bowling V
The fifth edition of the PBA World Series of Bowling, set for Oct. 25-Nov. 3 at South Point Bowling Center in Las Vegas, has already set a record for international representation with 18 countries entered.
For the first time, one or more PBA members from Argentina, Bermuda, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Ireland and Puerto Rico will compete in a field along with representatives from Australia, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, England, Finland, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Sweden, Venezuela and the United States. Additional international players are expected as the premier showcase for professional bowlers continues to expand its world-wide appeal.
PBA World Series of Bowling V will award five PBA Tour titles: Cheetah, Chameleon, Scorpion and Viper Championships plus the PBA World Championship. The field is limited to 240 PBA members on a first-come basis. Fewer than 85 spots are still available (PBA members can enter through pba.com or by calling the PBA office: 206-654-6025).
"One of the most exciting sporting events I ever attended was the 2008 WTBA World Championships in Bangkok, Thailand," PBA Commissioner Tom Clark said. "The final team match between the USA and Korea ended in a remarkable tie in regulation, forcing a pulsating roll-off. The pressure to perform – for teammates, for country – under difficult conditions was palpable. It's what makes bowling an incredible sport. The USA, featuring for the first time a 'Dream Team' group of PBA pros, won that day, but bowling was the true victor.
"The PBA prides itself on featuring the greatest players in the world, and witnessing the talent on display that entire week in Thailand made it clear to me all of the best players in the world were not regular participants in the PBA," he continued. "I needed to make a greater effort to bring these players from around the globe to compete on our stage. From discussions that week with young international players such as Jason Belmonte, Osku Palermaa, Dom Barrett, Martin Larsen and pioneers such as Mika Koivuniemi and Tim Mack, the PBA forged ahead with a plan to create an environment more conducive and inviting.
"The PBA World Series of Bowling was born. In the previous 50-year history of the PBA only three international players had won titles, but at the WSOB the past four years we have seen players from over 20 countries compete and new PBA champions emerge from Korea, Colombia, England, Australia and Finland. WSOB-V, featuring the PBA World Championship, returns this October in Las Vegas.
"The PBA also partnered with the WTBA's ambitious World Bowling Tour," Clark added. "We work together to make a schedule for the world's best players, to refine rules and regulations, and to grow the talent pools, fan bases and prestige of great events. The WBT Finals, featuring WBT men's and women's points leaders has become a highlight of the WSOB, with huge ESPN television audiences watching.
"The PBA is better for embracing the global game. It is more colorful, diverse, with more talent than ever before. The respect for players from around the world has soared in the USA, and we are proud of our players traveling to international events, spreading the PBA's message. I hope you watch the PBA on TV and if not available, go to pba.com and subscribe to XtraFrame.tv where all of our events are webcast.
"I want to thank the WTBA and its players for showing us the way and for your dedication to the sport," he concluded. "We all know that bowling provides some of the most compelling, thrilling moments in all of athletics. I know the international players will add excitement to the World Series again in 2013, and I hope all of the players enjoy the competition in Las Vegas."
PBA champion Chris Barnes and partner John Szczerbinski gave Team USA the gold medal in men's doubles in the WTBA World Championships at Strike Zone Bowling Center inside Sunset Station in Henderson, Nev., on Wednesday, Aug. 21, when they defeated Finland's Pasi Uotila and PBA titlist Osku Palermaa, 569-473, in the two-game title match.
Amateur John Janawicz and PBA titlist Mike Fagan claimed a bronze medal after losing in the semifinal round to Szczerbinski and Barnes, 472-458.
On Sunday, Aug. 25, PBA member Patrick Girard helped Team Canada claim its second WTBA World Championships gold medal ever in men's trios when he teamed with Mark Buffa and Francois Lavoie for a 721-602 victory over Korea. The Canadians knocked out Team USA's Barnes, Tommy Jones and singles gold medalist Bill O'Neill in the semifinal round, 601-579. Semifinal round losers earned bronze medals.
Team USA's Stefanie Nation and Shannon O'Keefe, both former PBA Women's Series competitors, defeated teammates and current PBA members Missy Parkin and Kelly Kulick, 482-438, in women's doubles, giving the U.S. a gold-silver sweep in that event.
The World Tenpin Bowling Association Men's and Women's World Championships continue through Friday, Aug. 30, at Sunset Station.
● The PBA Midwest Region's top players will head to Peru, Ill., over Labor Day weekend for the PBA Midwest Regional Players Invitational atSuper Bowl in Peru, Ill., Aug. 31-Sept. 2. The second of six PBA RPIs will be webcast live, from start to finish, Sunday and Monday on PBA's Xtra Frame online bowling channel. To subscribe to Xtra Frame, visit pba.com and click on the Xtra Frame logo for more information.
● In his fourth regional appearance since withdrawing from the PBA Tournament of Champions last March due to a painful plantar faciitis issue, eight-time PBA Tour winner Mike Scroggins of Amarillo, Texas, defeated Andy Patterson of Fort Worth, Texas, 178-172, to win his 39th PBA Regional title Sunday in the 8th annual PBA Greenville Southwest Open at Shananiganz in Greenville, Texas.
Scroggins said a change from 16-pound equipment to 15 pounds has made a huge difference in recovering from his foot injury. The 49-year-old lefthander led qualifying, earned two byes in the single-elimination match play finals, and then defeated Mike Bailey of Allen, Texas, 2-1, in their best-of-three-game Round of 8 match before eliminating David Anthony of Austin, Texas, 226-200, in the semifinal round.
● Ryan Shafer of Horseheads, N.Y., outscored Johnathan Bower of Middletown, Pa. by 104 pins over 17 games to win his third consecutive Professional Bowlers Association Mil-Ray Foods Eastern Open presented by Ebonite title at Brunswick Zone Deptford (N.J.) Sunday.
After leading the tournament field following Saturday's qualifying round, Shafer remained atop the field as it was reduced following each round on Sunday. Saturday's top 16 advanced to Sunday's first round of four games. The field was then cut to eight based on 12-game pinfall totals. After three more games, the field was cut to the final four who bowled two additional games to determine the final standings.
● Kyle Troup of Taylorsville, N.C., defeated Scott Newell of Deland, Fla., 236-203, to win the PBA Fayetteville (N.C.) Southern Open at Lafayette Lanes Sunday for a $2,500 payday and his fifth PBA Regional title.
● Dave Beres of Waukesha, Wis., defeated Brad Miller of St. Charles, Mo., 214-181, to win the PBA Bowlerama Lanes Midwest Open in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sunday. Along with his fifth career regional title, Beres took home $2,700.
● In a PBA50 doubleheader weekend at Pro Bowl West in Ft. Wayne, Ind., Harry Sullins of Chesterfield, Twp., Mich. defeated Kenny Parks of Hammond, Ind., 224-216, to win Saturday's joint PBA50 Central/Midwest Shark Open presented by BowlingGift.com on Saturday and Tom Baker of King, N.C., defeated Jeff Richgels of Madison, Wis., 290-190, to win the Central/Midwest Chameleon Open on Sunday. The win for Baker was his 30th overall PBA Regional title and netted him a $1,400 first prize.
● Other Labor Day holiday weekend events round the country include the PBA West Region's Tony Reyes Memorial Member/Non-Member Doubles presented by Brunswick at Fourth Street Bowl in San Jose, Calif.; the PBA50 Strike Zone Hammer Eastern Open in Pottsville, Pa., and the PBA and PBA50 Budweiser Victory Lanes South Opens in Mooresville, N.C.

● Parker Bohn III's 13th annual scholarship tournament is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 1, at Howell Lanes in Howell, N.J. There will be four average divisions. Entry fee is $50 if paid by Aug. 24, $55 thereafter. For an entry form and complete tournament rules, visit parkerbohn.com. Since its inception, the PBA Hall of Famer's event has awarded more than $55,000 in scholarships.
● PBA charter member Carl Richard of Joplin, Mo., will turn 90 on Sept. 29 and will likely celebrate the same way he spends his other days – going to work at one of the three bowling centers operated by his sons. During his prime, Richard bowled with and again Dick Weber, Billy Welu and the other stars of that era. He was member of the Falstaff team during the golden age of "beer teams."

Huge crowds of Muslims protested in the streets of Kashmir's capital Thursday for independence from India. At least one participant was shot dead by police; seven others were wounded in an effort to disperse the demonstrators. The latter retaliated by torching and overturning a police car (above) and hoisting green flags symbolizing neighboring Pakistan. Analysts saw the growing trouble as one of the greatest challenges to date of India's hold on the disputed region as well as to efforts to forge a peace with Pakistan. India's leaders reacted angrily to a Pakistani call for the UN to curb "gross violations of human rights" in Kashmir.
All remaining issues between the US and Libya over the 1988 bombing of a Pan American Airlines jet were resolved Thursday, clearing the way for full restoration of diplomatic relations. The deal provides for reopening of the US Embassy in Tripoli, resumption of direct US financial aid, and an official visit by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice by year's end. Twenty-six lawsuits filed against Libya by American citizens as a result of the bombing of Flight 103 had been pending, as were three by Libyans over US airstrikes in 1986.
Visiting Lebanese government leaders agreed with Syria's government Thursday to "define and draw" their common border. But Syria said the effort, long demanded by the international community, would not cover the disputed Shebaa Farms. That "cannot happen under occupation," Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem (above, l., with his Lebanese counterpart, Fawzi Saloukh) told a news briefing. Lebanon considers the farms its territory. But Israel regards them as part of the Golan Heights, which it took over in 1967.
Iraqi President Jalal Talibani will be released from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota Saturday following surgery on his heart, senior officials from his Kurdish political party said. He is expected to return home after a stop in Washington for consultations with US officials, they said. Talabani left Iraq Aug. 2 for what his office announced would be an operation on one of his knees.
Amid tight security, senior Nigerian officials formally transferred the 1,200-square-mile Bakassi Peninsula to neighboring Cameroon Thursday. The step ends a long-running territorial dispute that has led to sporadic clashes between the two countries. On appeal, the peninsula was awarded to Cameroon in 2002 by the International Court of Justice. It has a flourishing fishing industry and its offshore waters are thought to contain significant oil deposits.
Most of the soldiers ordered to a disputed section of border between Cambodia and Thailand will "redeploy" beginning this weekend, both sides said. The pullout will leave "the lowest possible number" of lightly armed troops at the scene. It is to precede new negotiations Monday on the dispute. Eight hundred Cambodian and 400 Thai soldiers have been confronting each other at a historic Buddhist temple since shortly after it was declared a UN World Heritage site last month.
Six alleged "snitches" from the Attorney General's Office in Mexico were arrested Wed-nesday for passing sensitive information to narcotics cartels that the government is investigating. If the antidrug unit is found to have been infiltrated by traffickers, analysts said, it would be seen as a black eye for President Felipe Calderón's 20-month crackdown on organized crime.
Another US military deserter, the second in a month, was ordered out of Canada Wednesday. Army Spc. Jeremy Hinzman must leave by Sept. 23 and will be handed over to US authorities for a possible court-martial. Hinzman fled there in late 2003 rather than accept deployment to Iraq. His application for refugee status was denied as were his appeals all the way to the Supreme Court. Fellow US deserter Robin Long was deported July 15 and is awaiting a court-martial.


text: Jews' Temporary Shelter Deed Box Description This deed box belonged to the Jews' Temporary Shelter, an institution in the East End of London, which helped newly arrived Jewish immigrants from the late 19th century until the late 20th century. The deed box was used to provide a safe place for residents of the shelter to keep their valuables and personal belongings. The shelter was founded in 1885 as the Poor Jews' Temporary Shelter to deal with the large number of Jewish immigrants arriving in London's East End from Eastern Europe. Many of these immigrants were fleeing persecution in their native countries while others chose to come to Britain for economic reasons. The shelter's representatives met boats as they docked, combating con men who preyed on the new arrivals. People were allowed to stay in the shelter for up to two weeks and given help in finding jobs and housing. Throughout the 20th century, the shelter continued to help migrants and refugees. These include Belgian refugees during World War I, those fleeing persecution in Nazi Germany during the 1930s, and those who faced persecution in countries such as Iraq, Egypt and Iran following the declaration of the State of Israel in 1948.

I'm thinking I will offer kites to IKE members first so you will have first pick, then sell others on other forums later. Here's a link to a web album with some examples. I want to give you some idea what's going to be for sale.
There will be . . . .
- Probably three to five Roks, ranging from 40 inches (Skyburner) up to 9.5 feet tall (Premier Reza Ragreb eagle of paradox - blue). Shari got one of the Skyburner ones, so that (small) one has been spoken for already. Sold
- Two premier Rainbow Double Delta Conynes with white keel boxes - I think these are about 10 ft across.
- G-Kites Single French military & G-Kites Double french military (sold to KV)
- Sold - GFAK 20ft Joel Scholz Signature Raptor Delta - Note - This kite did a "nose plant" at the retreat. As a result, it needs a small repair to the strap that keeps the center vertical spar in place. Other than that, there are no issues with the kite. I'll probably get it fixed before it's sold. I think it really wants a tail or a drogue to keep it stable, but it might have just been the funky wind on that Saturday (the wind died to nothing, then shifted 180 degrees when it came back).
- Kevin Shannon rollers - I'm probably going to sell a couple of these. Not sure what they are worth yet as I can only find a link to a G-Kites (Chinese factory) version and a link to images from a kite building retreat. These are (for sure) custom made, not factory, and are signed by Kevin.
- Sun Oaks Deltas - One that I've opened up so far is (I believe) 10ft across. Another is 12 ft. I will probably have 5-6 of these for sale, including kites that are brand new / never flown. I'm thinking maybe some are custom, since 10 ft is not a standard delta size on the Sun Oaks web site. Update: Several pictures posted on the photo link.
- Dan Leigh Deltas - I have a bunch of these deltas for sale. I think there is only one factory made (ITW) and the rest are from Dan Leigh, and many are signed. Some are unopened / never flown, so I don't know if they are signed, but I suspect they are. Quite a few are custom colors. I will be selling Little Bears, XFS deltas, and maybe some custom Clippers (they might be Troopers). I'm going to try to find out more information about ones where I'm not sure which model I have, but here's a link to Dan's catalog web site. Note - Say has asked me for the ITW one. Not 100% certain if I'm selling that one yet, but he gets it if I do sell it.
In addition, I have braided dacron line that I'll be selling, in strengths from 50lb up to 200lb. I don't have yo-yo winders though, so you might have to buy a LOT of line if you are interested (it's on spools ranging up to 1000 yards).
I'm open to trades for quads (Revs, Decas) or other interesting items like lifter kites & cool line laundry. However, my wife has made it clear that I need to sell a bunch of these SLK kites . . .
P.S. - Note to Jynx and KiteVoice if you want to cross post - IKE members includes interested WKS and HKS members, as far as I'm concerned (and I hope they sign up for IKE, if they haven't already)

Replay – Mutant League Football
We take a look back at EA's grisly gridiron classic.
By now, you may have heard the news that Michael Mendheim, the creator of Mutant League Football, is launching a Kickstarter to create a spiritual successor to the Genesis-era cult classic. We have all the news about that in the new issue of Game Informer (announced today). To celebrate, host Andy Reiner welcomes Matt Helgeson, Ben Reeves, Kim Wallace, and Jason Oestreicher to the Replay studio to see how the original holds up. The results are a bit ugly at times – to hilarious results. Also, without spoiling anything, in the Replay Roulette segment, Ben Reeves pulls off one of the most pathetic "feats" in Replay history, to Kim's chagrin.
Check out more episodes at our Replay hub.

Me too! GREAT flick.
Loved that scarecrow!

Really great flick. Had to check it out along with "I Saw the Devil" after reading last month's Rue Morgue and loved both of them. The inspiration the director received from "Aguirre" was so clear in "Black Death"...in fact, I'm not certain I didn't see Kinski lurking around in a few scenes, or at least someone who looked JUST like him. Very surreal!

We're planning on seeing I SAW THE DEVIL...cool to hear you dug it.
Jon, the scarecrow was a great part...I saw it and gasped to Bean: "DID YOU SEE THAT?!!!"
I actually did some searching online for it...nada.

"New carbon taxes and levies on air travel could have dramatic influences on the flow of tourists to the islands"
At a recent conference in London, a number of "experts" have discussed how to respond to climate change in the Caribbean. Judging from this report in AlertNet, the the London conference was an almost exact copy of all other similar climate alarmist conferences - the "experts" were competing with each other about who could present the worst possible doomsday scenario.
Here are just a couple of examples:
- With 70 percent of the region's population and an equal share of its infrastructure along threatened coastlines, Caribbean nations could be spending close to a fifth of their GDP just to cope with climate impacts by 2080, said Murray Simpson, a University of Oxford researcher who has worked with the U.N. Development Programme in Barbados.
- If the Caribbean fails to adequately prepare, it faces "perpetual recession under these conditions", Leslie warned, calling adaptation to the ongoing changes "an imperative". (Kenrick Leslie, executive director of the Belize-based Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre)
- Most countries in the region are feeling the pressure already. Farmers in Jamaica are seeing an unusual combination of increasingly severe droughts and hurricanes, leading to a gradual depletion of their financial resources. (David Barker, University of West Indies)
- Shifting temperature and rainfall patterns also are likely to drive increases in tropical diseases like dengue and malaria, and worsen problems with heat stress and water-related diseases like cholera, said David Dodman of the London-based International Institute for Environment and Development.
However, Mr. Dodman must have amazed all the gathered alarmists with this statement:
New carbon taxes and levies on air travel, for instance, could have dramatic influences on the flow of tourists to the islands, he said.
"Regulations around trade and carbon are going to create very large shifts in our economies," he predicted.
Dodman´s statement was a unique breeze of fresh air at a gathering of climate alarmists. But he will probably regret having said it. His fellow alarmists will never forgive him for having committed the mortal sin of pointing out the negative effects of carbon taxes and levies.

July 24th, 2006
Stoneham, MA (July 2006). Adimec announced that they provided the high-resolution cameras which were utilized on the orbital boom sensor system (OBSS) of the Discovery Space Shuttle mission STS-121. "Adimec's cameras are known for their image quality, reliability and durability, and we were happy to be involved with such a mission-critical application with NASA," said Jay Rice, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Adimec in North America.
Adimec provided multiple high-performance cameras to NASA which were coupled to a Pleora iPort IP™ engine to enable high-resolution images to be streamed to a laptop inside the shuttle over a standard Ethernet link. The imaging system was mounted at the end of the space shuttle's 50-foot robotic arm. The crew were able to control the camera via the engine as they carefully inspected the shuttle's thermal protection system. These images were analyzed for fine details such as the gap filler between tiles, to assess potential damage and overall shuttle safety. The Discovery flight was the most photographed shuttle mission ever, with more than 100 high-definition, digital, video, and film cameras documenting the launch and climb to orbit.
The selection of the high-resolution cameras required that the products be commercialoff-the-shelf (COTS). However, the cameras also needed to offer enough durability and performance to provide flawless images in the void of space and on the space shuttle, the most complex machine ever built. "Adimec has a long history supporting the US military and demanding medical and machine vision applications so we were quite pleased to be selected as the camera supplier for NASA's most advanced shuttle imager and to have our product performance satisfy the rigorous requirements of NASA," said Jay Rice.
The Space Shuttle Discovery and its crew landed on July 17, 2006 after a 13-day, five million-mile journey in space. The mission succeeded in testing shuttle safety
improvements, repairing a rail car on the International Space Station and producing never-before-seen, detailed images of the shuttle during and after its July 4th launch.
About Adimec
Adimec has specialized in development and manufacturing of high-performance
cameras and partnering with major OEMs around the world since 1992. The company has the distinction of serving industry leading companies in three application areas; machine vision, medical, and defense imaging.

What a Difference a Day Makes: The First Day of Class
Colleen Kennedy, Joel Schwartz, and Heather Macdonald, from the College of William and Mary.
The authors advocate teaching the first day of class just as you teach every day of class: by engaging the students in learning. They argue that this is the best way to introduce your students to the learning environment and to communicate your teaching style. They explain that how you interact with your students the first day of class sets the stage - and creates student expectations - for the rest of the course.

So I've been working on improving my sewing skills lately. I sewed a few things this summer for my classroom and now I'm improving my gypsy clutch. This is my third one to sew so far and probably the best. This is a birthday gift for a very close friend of mine who purchased her Gypsy this summer. I made my own pattern. It is very basic. I used the quilted fabric for the outside and a pretty red, black, and ivory print for the inside. I did use fusible batting between the layers for added protection.
Thanks for looking! If you have any questions, please let me know.

The tie for third place in the women's 100 meters at the U.S. track trials will be decided by a runoff Monday.
Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh will race to determine the third member of the Olympic team for London, officials confirmed Sunday.
Felix and Tarmoh finished in a dead heat for third in the 100 more than a week ago. Track officials had no policy in place to resolve it but devised a tiebreaker that included the options of a runoff or a coin flip.
U.S. & World
The resolution of the race was delayed because the coach for both athletes said they wanted to wait to make a decision until after Saturday night's 200 meters so they could focus on that race.
The runoff will be held at 5 p.m. local time — 8 p.m. EDT — at Hayward Field. It's not something Tarmoh is looking forward to.
"In my heart of hearts, I just feel like I earned the third spot. I almost feel like I was kind of robbed," Tarmoh said.
Originally, Tarmoh was declared the third-place finisher behind winner Carmelita Jeter and runner-up Tianna Madison. The official scoring said she had edged training partner Felix by 0.0001 seconds. But the photo finish was reviewed and the dead heat was announced.
In swimming, ties are settled with swim-offs between the two deadlocked opponents. Track has tiebreaking procedures for many of its events, as well, but this was a special case for which there is no written solution — a tie for the last spot on the Olympic team.
A day after the disputed race, USATF announced the tiebreaking options. Scenarios included a runoff, a coin flip, or one athlete could concede the race to the other.
Bobby Kersee, coach for both of the women, proclaimed soon thereafter that he did not want to distract his runners from the 200 on Saturday night, which Felix handily won. Tarmoh failed to qualify for London in the 200, finishing fifth. She could run in the 400 relay at the Olympics.
A meeting among the athletes, their agents and USATF representatives was held at a hotel in Eugene on Sunday morning.
"They both feel they deserve a spot on the team and they're willing to do it in a competitive manner and a competitive fashion," said Stephanie Hightower, president of USA Track and Field. "I think it's good for the sport and it's good for them to show their level of competitiveness and passion and drive for what they've been working so hard to accomplish.
"The bottom line is that this is, in my opinion, the best way to be able to resolve this issue."

The United States Soccer Development Academy Finals Week began in Houston, Texas last weekend with the Crew Soccer Academy Wolves U-16 squad from Livonia, Mich. representing the Black & Gold. The Wolves kicked off group play with a 2-1 defeat against Solar Chelsea SC from Dallas. Kalenga Selemani scored the Wolves' lone goal in the opener. In their second match of the week on Tuesday, Ahinga Selemani and Hunter Barone found the net for CSA against De Anza Force, but the Force scored an 80th-minute winner to defeat the Wolves.
The CSA Wolves round-out group play on Thursday against the Colorado Rapids.
For the Wolves' regular season efforts, U.S. Soccer named Lars Richters the U-15/16 Development Academy Coach of the Year for the Central Conference.
Richters led the CSA Wolves to the top of the Mid-America Division of the Central Conference with a 22-4-4 overall record. His team finished the season with 70 points and allowed a Conference low 19 goals for the season. The Wolves then won a berth in the Finals Week of the U.S. Soccer Development Playoffs when they defeated Seattle Sounders FC U-15/16 2-0 in Dallas.
Development Academy players and coaches have received postseason recognition since the Academy's inaugural 2007-08 season, and the end-of-year awards are voted upon by U.S. Soccer Technical Advisors.
