Joan Chittister has long been one of my favorite writers and always leads me to new insights and heights of understanding. Her most recent effort centered, of all things, on a bathtub. And what she did was hammer home an important fact of life in this speedway, helter-skelter 21st century. This is the way she put it:
UW System is dealing with an unprecedented budget situation; going from a proposed increase in state funding to a proposed cut in funding.


text:
After a four year history of tax increases, the first municipal budget of the new West New York administration reflects a 1.2 percent drop in residents' tax bills for the 2012 calendar year. Commissioner of Revenue and Finance Caridad Rodriguez says that over the course of those four years, taxes had been raised 51 percent.
"We think of it as a business and a household," Rodriguez says, "except there's no credit cards we can use. We've managed to work the best we can with minimal amounts."
The 2012 $69.9 million budget covers municipal spending from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2012. It is down slightly from the previous year's $71.8 million spending plan, and was presented during a hearing on March 21. It will be voted on after a hearing on April 18.
Residents pay an overall tax rate derived from the budgets of three entities: the town, the schools, and the county. This budget affects only the town portion. With this factored in, the overall tax rate that includes all three entities will drop 1.2 percent from last year's overall rate.
That means that this year, West New York's taxpayers will pay $64.89 for every $1,000 of the assessed valuation of the property they own. So someone who owns a house assessed for $200,000 will pay $12,978 over four quarters.
"We've managed to work the best we can with minimal amounts." – Caridad Rodriguez
Town budgets are often voted on late in the year as towns wait for state aid and other deals to go through, but this year, Rodriguez said, they're able to vote early because they began early. The budget that will be voted on later this month has been presented and amended several times.
Behind the budget
Because state aid to West New York is expected to decrease from $9 million in 2011 to only $6.8 million for 2012, there were several adjustments necessary to produce a tax decrease for residents, Rodriguez explained.
In addition, while expenses paid to North Hudson Regional Fire are anticipated to increase by $190,000, costs were cut elsewhere to compensate.
One seasonal factor was the sparse snowfall this past winter, which will contribute to the anticipated budget surplus of around $5 million. Part of this surplus is a holdover from 2011's surplus of $6.1 million.
Back in January, the police department promoted six officers to a higher rank, but each one deferred a raise for a year in order to help balance the budget. Also, new town officials who are hired will receive a salary that is 30 percent less than what previous new hires were paid, Rodriguez stated.
The town secured $70,785 in Urban Enterprise Zone funds for litter clean up. Urban Enterprise Zone is a designation given by the government to towns who require extra tax relief and aid.
Waterfront ratables (property taxes) are anticipated to account for $14 million in revenue; and alcoholic beverage licensing is anticipated to bring in $115,000, up from $90,000 in 2011.
The town anticipates $1 million in Formula One Race contractual revenue: an amount the town will receive for the construction and preparation necessary for the 2013 Formula One race set to run along Boulevard East and the waterfront in West New York and Weehawken.
"We really focused on money this year as an administration," Rodriguez said. "We took the community's needs to heart and did our best to provide some relief, despite these economic times."
The budget will be voted on during a Board of Commissioners meeting on April 18 at 7 p.m. in the conference room at Town Hall located on 428 60th St.

Copenhagen Roundup
The Copenhagen Climate Conference ended after 2 weeks of intense global negotiations. Although leaders could not agree on a binding climate deal, there was an interim accord. Nations will share information about what they're doing to reduce carbon emissions, fund climate change mitigation for poor countries, and protect rainforests, but there was no target set for specific reductions. While this is a step in the right direction, we have lots of work ahead of us to achieve a binding agreement in the future.

By Michael Collins
(Washington, DC 11/18) Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org. had some tough words for the oil giants at the organization's events in the nation's capital. He announced to a packed house at the Warner Theater, "We're going after the fossil fuel industry" for trying to wreck the future. It's that simple. He argued that we have a choice. Either we take on the oil giants and end their rapacious behavior or we find a way to change the laws of physics to accommodate the insanity of ongoing pollution in the face of calamitous outcomes.
Shell, Exxon, BP, and the others in the fossil fuel industry were portrayed as world killers, rogue corporations whose relentless pursuit of profits threatens the lives and culture of every human being on earth.
The 350.org Do the Math Tour started in Seattle on November 7. The nationwide tour visits 21 cities across the country and culminates in Salt Lake City on December 3. Yesterday's presentation at the Warner Theater was followed by demonstration during which participants encircled the White House to remind President Barack Obama to hold fast on suspending work on the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
The math is simple and painful in its implications: Read the rest of this entry »

County approves bridge project for Jones Road
By JASON PATTERSON
Editor & Publisher
The Yazoo County Board of Supervisors awarded the contract to build a new bridge on Jones Road to NL Carson Construction of Carthage Friday.
NL Carson had the low bid on the state aid project at $572,533.16. The company is currently working in Yazoo County on Ridge Road.
NL Carson's bid came in at over $24,000 cheaper than the next lowest bid, but all bids were above the estimated $509,329 for the project. The low bid was 12.4 percent above estimate. Rising fuel prices were likely a factor in the cost.

I've never beaten myself up over a deer I've shot and I've killed some small racked bucks, broken rack bucks, a button, a shed, etc. Hell the only thing I've never actually killed is a true spike but I still collect all the spike racks I find in the woods. All my bucks are like 200" deer to me. They all are prizes and they're all unique for reasons beyond just being big.
I have, however, had some bit of remorse with does I've shot. I've never wanted to take the shot back, but emotionally I struggle a little bit with killing does. This has created many either-sex days where the safety was off, the crosshairs were placed, and I just wouldn't apply the necessary trigger pressure. I was willing to go home empty handed and happy. I've never felt this way with the smallest of bucks. I will say I feel better once it's in the skinning shed because then it's all work and I don't have the same feelings when a partner shoots a doe. Weird, I know.
I will say I've only regretted bucks I didn't shoot. Quality opportunities and whitetail bucks are not terms that go together often. Normally at the end of the year I look back on one buck or one situation and say "man, I should've done the deed." But as long as this is my regret after the season I feel I'm doing alright. I do have an advantage over some in that I'm not limited to one buck a year. Out of three buck tags I will fill one or two a year but rarely all three.
One other thing about this holding out year after year. I believe success breeds success. The longer you wait for that one opportunity the less experience and confidence you will have in getting the job done when it's time. There's something to be said about becoming proficient in the act of taking a deer from the decisiveness, the brisk pace, the shot placement, the tracking/recovery, and on and on. I'd rather fill my tag yearly with a nice buck than wait 3 years for that one chance at a Joe Nailer that could likely result in a botched go anyway.
My point is to just be happy with the deer you take and if you can't get over the remorse you can wait it out next year, but don't be remorseful while eating tag soup as well. I guess only then you'll know which remorse is worse. Also, it helps to stay realistic and grounded so don't let your standards be twice the size of the biggest buck in your herd. It's pretty hard to hunt a deer that doesn't exist. Personally, this is how I kind of define a shooter on my land. I take the biggest deer I know exists which I determine one of three ways. 1-trail cam pic 2-personal sighting 3-best surviving deer known from last year with a realistic extra year of growth. Then from that particular deer anything that looks 3/4 his size is a possible shooter. Anything his size or larger is a no-doubter. I find this keeps hunting very fun and I have nice resident bucks worth hunting year to year.

SMF Support > SMF 1.1.x Support
How Can I Remove the Forum Tables And Create Links Instead?
Hi, I want to get rid of the forum tables on my board and make them appear as links just like www.nairaland.com [nofollow]. The forums are shown as links at the top instead of tables at on the index page. How can I make my forum display categories and forums like this?
Timely help will be appreciated
What exactly do you mean by "forum" in this context? There is only one forum per SMF installation; it contains categories, which in turn contain boards, which contain topics, which contain posts. If you're talking about the list of links at the top (not the featured links) under "Nigerian Forums", are they separate forums or are they three categories with a dozen or so boards under each?
Rather than trying to modify a SMF theme to display categories and boards as links (if that's what you're after), it might be easier to use SSI.php capability to roll your own "portal" page with hard coded links to SMF categories and boards. Some of the existing portal mods might even do that (have you checked them?). I suppose you could take a theme and modify the front page so that instead of listing categories as sections and boards within them, you could show them as links in that manner.
Since you'll presumably want to put other stuff on the page, I think a custom front page using SSI would be better in the long run, and using a portal mod might be even better than that. I suppose that you're trying to conserve screen space by using links instead of a table, so that you have room for other content?
Arantor Beeblebrox the First:
Um, Nairaland doesn't run SMF any more, if you want to copy their structure you could even go as far as finding out what software they're using...
Thanks Phill for your help. I'm not very experienced in using SSI, so can you recommend any to me? You seem to understand what I want to do. Yes I want to make the categories and forums all appear on the top as links so that I can use the index page only for Hot Forum Links. I wish to get rid of the forums as they appear on SMF site, and want them to be like the one's on Nairaland.com.
Arantor Beeblebrox the First:
Why are you trying to copy Nairaland, exactly? (Even when it used to run SMF it was hard to read. Now they're not using SMF, it's even worse if at all possible)

Backlinks and reconsideration requests
When talking to site owners on Google Webmaster Forums we come across questions on reconsideration requests and how to handle backlink-related issues. Here are some common questions, along with our recommendations.
When should I file a reconsideration request?
If your site violates our Google Quality Guidelines or did in the past, a manual spam action may be applied to your site to prevent spam in our search results. You may learn about this violation from a notification in Google Webmaster Tools, or perhaps from someone else such as a previous owner or SEO of the site. To get this manual action revoked, first make sure that your site no longer violates the quality guidelines. After you've done that, it's time to file a reconsideration request.
Should I file a reconsideration request if I think my site is affected by an algorithmic change?
Reconsideration requests are intended for sites with manual spam actions. If your site's visibility has been solely affected by an algorithmic change, there's no manual action to be revoked, and therefore no need to file a reconsideration request. If you're unsure if it's an algorithmic change or a manual action, and have found issues that you have resolved, then submitting a reconsideration request is fine.
How can I assess the quality of a site's backlinks?
The links to your site section of Google Webmaster Tools is a great starting point for an investigation as it shows a significant amount of your site's inbound links. If you know that you ran an SEO campaign during a particular period of time, downloading the latest links can come handy in slicing links created at that time. Using the links found in Google Webmaster Tools, we recommend looking for patterns that point to general issues that are worth resolving. For example, spammy blog comments, auto generated forum posts or text advertisements with links that pass PageRank are likely to be seen as unnatural links and would violate Google's quality guidelines. For individual examples and hands-on advice we recommend getting help of peers and expert webmasters on the Google Webmaster Forum.
How do I clean a bad backlink profile?
Make sure to identify poor links first, then make a strong effort to get them either removed or nofollowed. Then use the Disavow Links Tool to deal with remaining unnatural backlinks. We recommend using domain-wide operator for sites with a complicated URL structure, very obvious spam sites, such as gibberish content sites or low quality sites with content that shows no editorial value. See our video on common mistakes when using the disavow tool for more information.
How much information do I need to provide?
Detailed documentation submitted along with a reconsideration request can contribute to its success, as it demonstrates the efforts made by the webmaster and helps Googlers with their investigation. If you are including a link to a shared document, make sure that it's accessible to anyone with the link.
How long does it take to process reconsideration requests?
Reconsideration requests for sites affected by a manual spam action are investigated by a Googler. We strive to respond in a timely manner, normally within just a few days. However, the volume of incoming reconsideration requests can vary considerably, hence we don't provide a guaranteed turnaround time.
What are the possible outcomes of a reconsideration request?
Upon submitting a reconsideration request, you will first receive an automated confirmation in Google Webmaster Tools. After your request is processed, we'll send you another message to let you know the outcome of the request. In most cases, this message will either inform you that the manual action has been revoked or that your site still violates our quality guidelines.
Where can I get more guidance?
For more information on reconsideration requests, please visit our Help Center. And as always, the Google Webmaster Forum is a great place for further discussions as well as seeking more advice from experienced webmasters and Google guides.

Thanks for sharing this and giving a great overview resource for backlink analysis, unnatural links, disavow and reconsideration requests. It's good to have some clarification on some industry debates! I'm loving the increased transparency we're seeing from Google now on this, especially in providing example links with unnatural link warnings. Great move :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame you are allowing Negative SEO campaigns to be orchestrated, which are then subsequently reported to google as bad practise, upon which you apply a manual penalty to the innocent party without warning.
Competitor 1 commences a negative SEO campaign against Competitor 2.
Competitor 1 then reports Competitor 2 to google for suspected bad practise and search result manipulation.
Google apply a manual penalty without warning to Competitor 2 (the innocent party).
Google search results are now manipulated and Competitor 1 succeeds in Industrial Sabotage.
Don't believe me this has happened in the UK for on line cash for car buyers. Search "sell my car" all the reputable companies, with good websites and excellent customer service levels have disappeared leaving one man bands. Bad day not only for the companies who have become the victims but also for the consumers.I think there are hundreds of affiliate-only sites with no valuable content that started to report non-fraudulent sites to Google. I do see a number of sh**-links to my site from paid-link sites that I NEVER EVER worked with. Who placed them there? Did I receive a penatly for certain sites? Should I file reconsideration request? Who knows? One of my articles dropped off to pos 6 while the #1 spam-site rised from nowhere to #1. And it is even a commercial site with no content while my article describes the matter (worldwide satellite internet) without any preferrence or judgement whereas the #1 just sells overpriced stuff that doesnt even fit in the category (GSM SIMs claiming to be worldwide which they arent). The kw "weltweit mobiles internet" is used by people looking for information. Now I see people typing more and more the name of my website (more navigational keywords) as they cant find the content I provide. I am very happy I have done far more than looking at my rankings, but I have made quality content. Sad that Google doesnt take this into consideration anymore...
ReplyDeleteThis has only gotten worse with the recent exploits against wordpress sites. If you look at the sites that are giving you bad inbound links, you might see something like this:
(div style="position:absolute;top:-200px;left:-200px;") [I replaced the <> with ()]
It hides the malicious links that follow the code from the viewers, and probably from the webmaster as well. I'm seeing a lot of this.
So in a case like this, it's easy to build thousands of malicious inbound links.Penguin updates = The speed limit was 30mph. The law was changed so it became 20mph. Now speeding tickets are being sent to all those that exceeded 20mph at any point in the past and some drivers are being banned. You can use our disavow tool to tell us of your speeding crimes. You can also report others too as we arent smart enough to catch them with our dumb bots.
ReplyDeleteThank you for having this blog. I have one question:
In google webmaster tools under the tab "links to your website". I notice some websites, that have nothing to do with the content of my website, are actually linking to my pages and I think this is bad for SEO.
how to avoid having such unwanted links. or lets say how to tell google that those links have nothing to do with my website. Thank youThanks Kaspar and Uli for the clear and concise guide for black hat spammers who have broken google's guidelines and have been caught.
What about a clear and concise guide for site owners who have been effected by Panda, the document that John M and other googlers refer to is: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/more-guidance-on-building-high-quality.html
Which is too wooly to be practical for most site owners to use and this is why it is nearly impossible to find any example of a site that successfully escaped from Panda, even though many have tried over the last two years.
It seems like blackhat link builders can get out of penguin by cleaning their links up, but site owners who's quality have been "judged" low quality by google, but havent deliberately broken any of googles guidelines cant recover, sounds a little unfair to me.I have been running my company for 7 years now and last year employed a company to re-brand. They didn't appear to know what they were doing and in March this year we had to shift our hosting to another company. It appears that the site was stored on an unsecured server and to my horror about 8 weeks ago I found that my site had been cloned approximately 4 times. Clearly this meant that we appeared to have duplicate content when in fact we had nothing to do with this. My web designer now tells me that we have site penalties and our rankings have dropped from page 1 to somewhere that we cannot be found. As a very small company this is simply disastrous for us. No-one can tell me exactly what this penalty is and how long it will last for. Our business has been very adversely affected and I simply don't know what to do. It certainly wasn't my fault that someone cloned my site but it seems that there is nothing at all that I can do about the penalties. Please can someone help me? Carrie Larwood, Function Fixers Ltd
ReplyDeleteMy Website, do not perform actions spam. I aim to provide free legal for everyone. But why my keywords ranking lost? 1000% traffic drop. While other websites spamming is not affected? (ex: lamgiayphepnhanh.net, luatsukinhte.vn, luattriminh.vn, icslaw.vn, vistalaw.vn ...), I tried to send a request on the website is not considered spam but is still only get back 1 answer words, but there was no specific effect.
my website: http://coeuslaw.com
Sincere thanks for reading my comment. I hope my website to be reconsidered, because it affects a lot of sense to me.I am the owner of Chat.org Domain.My purpose is to perform a service focused on users.System is in flactuation and filter since I haven't been. able to find for six moths and I could not sort it out whatever I did. I have read many google help articles I started 3 or 4 topics regard to this but I have not been able to figure out the reason for that webmaster tools did not work out on this. This might be a minor reson for that please help me.
ReplyDeleteI admin fro a large media company with 10 different domains. We have multiple blogs for each of the domains and see comment spam all the time. We use akismet on our installs and comments from intensedebate which has its own filters and akismet. We constantly get emails from people who claim to have hired bad seo managers or companies that spammed us and now expect us to comb through 30,000+ comments to find where their comment is at to remove it. Sometimes they are able to provide a link but its mostly to the article and not toe the actual comment which means to remove it I need to carve out time to find it. I usually suggest they use the disavow tool so that I am not penalized for their mistake by costing my company time and resources. I have recently read a little more about the disavow tool and was wondering if there is a penalty on my site for its use by someone else. How is my company to blame for someone else's cutting corners? That doesn't seem very fair.

Located in Fire Station No.1 at Second and Commerce streets, downtown Fort Worth
"150 Years of Fort Worth" traces Fort Worth's development, from its beginning as a frontier outpost, through its rowdy youth as a cattle town, to present day. Created by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, in cooperation with City Center Development Co., the exhibit is housed in the historic Fire Station No. 1, which was built in 1907. It is located in the City Center complex at the northeast corner of Second and Commerce streets.
The exhibit was originally opened in 1984 as part of the Texas Sesquicentennial Celebration and was updated in 1991 and again in 2001. Some of its features include:
An interactive bunkhouse model featuring a video about Charlie Bell, a well-known Texas Cowboy who spent a lifetime working cattle;
A scale model of the original Fort Worth, established in 1849;
A display case containing the uniform and writing desk of Maj. Gen. William Jenkins Worth, Fort Worth's namesake. (Worth, a national hero, died of cholera in San Antonio in 1849, before he could visit or learn about the new fort his men had named for him.);
A display on the prehistoric Clovis people;
A bucking bronco that provides a photo opportunity for Guests.
Fire Station No. 1, the building that houses the exhibit, is also a valuable piece of Fort Worth history. It was the site of the original city hall, which held the mayor's office and other city offices on its second floor. Volunteer firefighters with a hook-and-ladder wagon and Bill, their cougar mascot, occupied the first floor. The present structure replaced the original building in 1907; for more than a century, Fire Station No. 1 was in continuous use as a fire station.
"150 Years of Fort Worth History" is open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Admission is free.

Standing firmly on the middle ground between the quirky, staccato attack of Modest Mouse and the spirited, arena-ready roar of Arcade Fire, Los Angeles-based indie rock outfit Grouplove came to fruition in the late 2000s around the talents of Hannah Hooper, Christian Zucconi, Sean Gadd, Ryan Rabin and Andrew Wessen. New Yorkers Hooper and Zucconi, through sheer kismet, forged a friendship with the latter three members while attending an art residency in Greece on the island of Crete. Before returning to their myriad homelands, the future quintet began hashing out plans to meet up again and put some of the music they had been working on to tape, resulting in whirlwind trips to Rabin's Los Angeles studio, where the five friends decided to make their relationship official. Grouplove's debut EP, Mirrors, was released independently in 2010. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

There have been many recent studies set up to examine the characteristics of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Sleeping Disorders (SDO), some separately and others to determine whether or not there is a link between them. To control behavior, medication is the most frequent method of treatment for ADHD, even though there is not yet an understanding of long-term effects of chemical intervention.
Four essays of unique importance in the field of prenatal and perinatal psychology and health are reprinted here with the permission of Michel Odent, Director of the Primal Health Research Center in London and editor of the newsletter Primal Health Research. Essay No. 1 focuses on the use of sytnthetic oxytocin, called
Shame is a powerful emotion born of implicit mind and with lasting implications. This brief essay explores the source of this experience, including its possible role as an instrument of survival, its relationship to the processes of bonding and attachment, and its developmental aspects.
Key Words: Shame, Attachment, Dysregulation, Mother -
Perinatal clinical psychology deals with infant mental development, primary parent-child relationships, and problems related to nurturing and parenting activities of the woman and the couple during the prenatal and neonatal period. Its aims are promoting positive influences and preventing risk elements for the child's development and for the parents raising the child, thus providing support to primary relationships. Perinatal clinical psychology studies intra-psychic, interpersonal, and trans-generational mental processes.
Autism is currently occurring in one in 10,000 children in Europe. The incidence in the US has been steadily increasing over the last years to a figure at least 4 times as high. It has become an issue of primary importance for modern society. Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the body, which is released in the posterior pituitary gland and controls a number of bodily functions. However, since the 90's, its psychoactive component is being investigated and is becoming very meaningful in diagnosis and therapy of both psychiatry and psychology.
Clinical observations indicated that those psychiatric patients who survived when a preborn sibling died were adversely affected by the experience. It seemed that being a survivor of a pregnancy loss, particularly abortion, contributed to psychiatric illnesses. Data was collected from a sample of 293 adults - 98 patients and 195 counseling trainees. A self-report questionnaire with visual analogue, rating, and descriptive questions was used to ascertain the extent of common psychiatric symptoms.
Part I - Introduction: Prenatal Bonding BA (*Bindungsanalyse by Raffai) provides the possibility of creating an intense bonding between mother and fetus, of being witness to the development of the fetus in the womb, to realize early prenatal traumas as well to have the chance for immediate healing. In this respect the method is at the same time an instrument of pre- and perinatal research, an empowerment of bonding between mother and fetus and a great help for giving birth much more easily.
This article presents an expanded paradigm for understanding the pervasive impact of subtle parent-child interactions that cause experiences of shock, trauma, and stress during the first three years of life. Drawn from quantitative, qualitative, applied evidence-based practice, case formulation research methods, and a comprehensive review of related research, it uses the term "developmental trauma" to describe these early experiences. The article also places shock, trauma, and stress on a continuum and charts their impact on the development of individuals, couples, and families.
The death of a twin in the womb is traumatic for the mother. Pre- and perinatal psychology emphasizes the importance of a calm and stress-free pregnancy for the mother, so that the child will not be badly affected. The loss of one or more fetuses from a twin or multiple conception is unavoidably stressful. However, with full knowledge of the implications of such a death on all the parties involved and the opportunity to mourn the death openly, the stress on the pregnant mother can be reduced. Ways to reduce the stress on the mother are described.
In recent decades perinatal clinical psychology and infant research has shown how neurological maturation of the newborn and infant brain is due to learning from maternal care: properties of baby's mind development are conditioned by maternal care, and the baby's primary mental development conditions the future child and adult mental development. Research has also shown that maternal care may be modulated by childbirth pain. The experience of pain may increase and enrich maternal care, and its suppression may depress the mother's ability in maternal care.

I'm creating a mobile app for small business wholesalers and the alpha will be finished soon.
I have done some face-to-face market research by visiting trade shows they exhibit in and showing them a prototype and asking questions. I get positive reactions and when I ask the question "Would you like to alpha test?" Most of them say "Yes". But I'm finding that when I follow up with these users, I can't get a hold of them. So I'm assuming that maybe they really aren't interested in being an alpha user any more.
Someone suggested that I should be asking for some token amount of money like $20 to show that they are committed. Yet, someone else suggested that I provide incentive by compensate them some how - maybe money or random prize or discount on the software. What is the best approach? I only need about 5-6 businesses for alpha testing.

Our country is insane. Pertussis - Whopping Cough - is in epidemic in Washington State because parents won't get their children vaccinated for it. I keep hearing that many believe vaccinations causes Autism even though this has been disproven. Some children have died from not being vaccinated.
I don't get it. The vaccine is free.

Navarre High School's boys' soccer team followed an outstanding 2-1 upset win Jan. 30 at Tallahassee Chiles with an even better effort Feb. 2 against Niceville. but lost 1-0. (PHOTO: The Niceville goalkeeper secures the ball in a crowd of Raiders.)
Ironically, the Raiders lost in almost the exact circumstances in which they won against Chiles. In both games, there was slightly less than four minutes remaining. The ball was knocked down inside the box and bounced around before a player knocked home the winning goal from close range.
"I am very proud of the boys," Navarre coach Rob Simon said. "They finished the season playing their best soccer of the season. They have absolutely no reason to hang their heads after the loss to Niceville. It was a phenomenal game to be a part of as a coach. Both teams played at a very high level, creating multiple opportunities to score. Both defenses and goal keepers played extremely well. I thought that we were the better team over the course of the match, but unfortunately they were able to convert on a corner kick. We had a couple of goals called back due to offside (calls). We hit the post once and they had a fantastic game-saving play by a defender sliding in on a shot in the second half that was on its way into the back of the net.
Simon said the team's success came despite a degree of uncertainty.
"The boys have overcome so much this year," he said. "They started the year with me as the head coach and being told that we would find them a new coach. One was hired at the end of the summer, and then he quit soon after the school year started. Ken McDonald was hired a week before the season started. Ken and the boys worked so hard this year and improved every day."
Health problems forced McDonald to leave the team after the district tournament. Simon and assistant coach Jeff Knapp coached the Raiders in two regional games.
"The boys didn't flinch," Simon continues. "They executed our game plan for a good win against Chiles in very poor conditions against a difficult team. They continued that by playing a part of – in my estimation – probably the best high school soccer game of the season in our area. Both teams fought their guts out 'til the very end. I do know that from top to bottom this is the most talented team in Navarre high school boys' soccer history and they have a bright future. I hope they continue to work hard in the off season.
"Next year they should be the favorites to be the best team in the area."
Navarre 2, Chiles 1
The start of the game was delayed for 30 minutes because of high winds and a heavy rainstorm.
"We thought the wind was going to be worse than it was," Chandler Moorer said. "It did affect our long passes in the second half with the wind at our back. The wet field often slowed down the ball and made it slick."
Both teams played evenly for the first half. The Timberwolves had the closest scoring opportunity when a wet ball bounced off Raider keeper Amuia Alford. A Timberwolf player kicked the rebound towards the goal. The ball bounced off the right post and rolled in front of the goal. It then bounced off the left post and back out to the field where Moorer cleared it. The game remained scoreless at halftime.
Brendan White scored the game's first goal in the 57th minute.
"Eddy (Layne) moved the ball down the left side of the field," White said. "He saw me making my run and crossed the ball to me about 12 yards out in front of the goal. It was a perfect pass. I beat one defender and shot from eight yards out and put the ball past their keeper."
The Timberwolves came back with a goal by David Hester at the 65th minute to tie the game.
"We knew they were tough on balls in the air and we misjudged one," Moorer said. "He got behind us and tied the game."
The teams battled back and forth until Jordan Supra knocked in the winning goal with less than four minutes left to play.
"Ricardo (Hidalgo) took a direct kick from 30 yards out," Supra said. "The ball was knocked down by (Ryan) Olson inside the box. Two defenders tried to get to the ball, but missed. I picked up the loose ball, beat a defender and shot the ball past the keeper. It was almost easy. It felt just like we do in practice."
The defense of Moorer, Logan Townsend, Corey White and Hidalgo held off the Timberwolves for the rest of the game.
Niceville 1, Navarre 0
It was one of those games destined to be decided by a mistake.
In the first half, the teams played evenly. Navarre had two scoring chances, but the Niceville keeper made diving saves. Navarre keeper Alford came up big with two saves of his own.
Whatever Simon said to the Raiders at halftime, it registered. The Raiders came up big in the second half. They controlled the ball most of the game. Kameron Bethell, the quarterback on the field, was everywhere. He started most of the attacks on the Eagle goal. A Navarre score by Ryan Olson was waived off on an offside call. This was one of several offside calls that did not go the Raiders' way.
With six minutes left in the game, an Eagle player got tangled up with Layne and was ejected from the game with a red card. Unfortunately, the Raiders could not take advantage of the one-man advantage. With four minutes remaining, the Eagles brought the ball into the Raider end of the field and were awarded a corner kick. The ball landed at the feet of several players inside the box and bounced around until the Eagle's Hunter Davis put a solid foot on the ball and scored the game winner.

Is the new pope Latino?
The Catholic Church has elected its first pope from South America, a historic milestone that has some wondering whether he should be considered the first "Latino" pope.
"I'm not quite sure how he is being considered the first Latino pope?" wrote Jeremy Marsh in CNN comments. "I guess the real question is, what is the definition of 'Latino'?"
For Julieta Vitullo, 37, a teacher and filmmaker from Argentina, the thought of calling Pope Francis "Latino" never crossed her mind. To her, he is undoubtedly Argentine.
"In South America, we either use our country of origin or use 'Latin Americans.' We don't define ourselves as Latino. That's more of an American term, " she said.
But, that hasn't stopped many Hispanics from using the word.
"As a Latina and Catholic, I can't explain how excited and happy I am for Pope Francis I -- the first Latino Pope! #latism" tweeted Sasha Monik Moreno.
CNN contributor Ruben Navarrette wrote a CNN piece about the long wait for the "first Latino pope":
"...[T]he news of a Latino papa has sent a jolt of euphoria through Argentina and throughout Latin America. Imagine winning the World Cup Championship times 10. There also will be a lot of excitement among Latinos in the United States, perhaps enough to reignite their passion for the church and bring them back to Mass."
But to understand the range of who is Latino, and if the new pontiff qualifies, one has to first the understand the history of Argentina.
About 480 million of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics live in Latin America. The former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, a city deemed the "Paris of the South." He was born there in 1936, the son of Italian immigrants.
"His origin is very typical ... many of us have Italian (ancestors)," said Vitullo, "In fact, my great-grandparents were Italian."
Between 1857 and 1958, 46% of the immigrants who migrated to Argentina were Italian, and 32% were Spanish.
"His parents were Italian immigrants who moved to Argentina and were quickly embraced because of the government's efforts to 'modernize' and 'whiten' the population," said Renata Keller, an assistant professor of international relations at Boston University. "If the pope were to ever go back to Argentina, he would be both Italian and Argentinian without any hesitation."
In Italian tradition, he would be considered Italian -- similar to the way a child born to an American parent abroad would be considered American, or have dual citizenship.
"Argentines often have multiple passports because many European countries identify citizenship based upon patriarchal concepts rather than just on where someone was born, "said Donna Guy, a history professor at Ohio State University.
However, the new pope's interests and tastes are clearly culled from growing up in Argentina. He is said to favor mate - traditional tea from Yerba mate leaves - and to be a cuervo -- a fan of the country's soccer team. It also has been reported that he once took part in Argentina's national pastime.
"I like the tango a lot, and when I was young I used to dance it," he told the authors of his 2010 biography El Jesuita, according to NBCLatino.
Like Argentina, identity in the United States is multifaceted, influenced by immigration and national history.
A Pew Hispanic Center survey found that the government's system of ethnic and racial labeling doesn't fit easily with Latinos' own sense of identity.
Out of the those surveyed, 51% said they use their family's country of origin to describe their identity, 24% said they use the terms "Latino" or "Hispanic", and 21% say they use "American" most of the time.
Labeling Pope Francis as the "first Latino Pope" may be an attempt to identify with him, since he shares some similarities with Hispanics in the U.S.
"He is also the son of migrants. And for us, Hispanics in the United States, this is very important. ... I think that this topic of migration is going to be very important for him," the Rev. Juan J. Molina, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops associate director for the church in Latin America, told CNN en Espanol. "And we, the Hispanics, the Latinos that now live in the United States ... we can also take some hope and pride that this pope intimately knows and has deeply lived the life of a migrant."
There is comfort in identifying with someone influential or in power.
As Naverrette wrote, "It's human nature to want to see yourself reflected in an organization you belong to. It's why Mormons in the United States were excited at the prospect of electing Mitt Romney president. It's why Jews were just as eager in 2000 to elect Joe Lieberman vice president."
