Bronson, McCormick Down Dragons, 2-0
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 09/28/2012
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Second half goals from Stephanie Bronson and Maddie McCormick sparked UNCW to a 2-0 win over visiting Drexel in Colonial Athletic Association women's soccer action Friday at the UNCW Soccer Stadium.
The Seahawks improved to 7-4-1 overall with the shutout win and to 2-1 in the CAA. Drexel, who entered the match unbeaten in conference play, saw its record dip to 7-2-2 overall and 1-1-1 in the league.
Both side battled to a stalemate for the first 50 minutes of the match, but Bronson notched her first goal of the season, coming in the 51st minute when she chipped in a shot from 16 yards out on the leftside. Amanda Holmes started the play with a sharp cross from the right side that found an unmarked Bronson.
McCormick, who led UNCW with six shots, including three on target, gave the Seahawks some breathing room in the 85th minute when she punched home her own rebound off the post for her second goal of the season. McCormick settled a loose ball in the penalty area and curled a shot to the back post. That shot caromed off the woodwork to the front of the goal where she knocked it through a crowd in front.
Prior to McCormick's strike, Drexel had been pushing for the equalizer, but UNCW goalkeeper Caitlin Hunter kept the Dragons at bay for her fourth clean sheet. In the 78th minute, Hunter snared a header by DU's Civanni Moss to keep it a 1-0 Seahawk advantage.
Hunter finished with six saves on the night while the Seahawks held a 15-12 advantage in shots.
DU goalkeeper Eve Badana made four saves on the evening.
The Seahawks close out their weekend action on Sunday with a 1 p.m. start against visiting Delaware.

Dave Thier, Contributor
I write about video games and technology.
It's November, and that means that next next-gen consoles are finally on their way. Both consoles have their strengths and weaknesses, and both consoles are going to appeal to different kinds of gamers. In that spirit, I'm running a mini-series on whether you should by the Xbox One, the PS4, or neither. Check out yesterday's post on the argument for the PS4, and check back tomorrow for why you might be better off with neither.
Cloud: Sony Sony may have bought Gaikai, but Microsoft Microsoft is Microsoft. As this generation continues, we're going to see the true benefits of having the resources of one of the largest tech companies in the world backing your console. "Project Mountain" is a $700 million data center built for Xbox One and Office 365, and more games will take advantage of that computing power as time goes on. In the early days, expect to see the full benefits of Microsoft's cloud services in games like Titanfall — the developer explains what they're capable of here.
A lot of gamers would argue that Xbox Live was the more reliable multiplayer service in the last generation, so Sony's got some catching up to do. The fact that PSN is now a paid service suggest that it's working on it, but for right now I'd bank on Xbox Live for better matchmaking and more reliable multiplayer.
Kinect: The Kinect never quite found its footing on the Xbox 360, but Microsoft believes in this technology. It's a fully-featured depth sensing camera that, in my limited time with it so far, appears to be a huge improvement over the previous generation. If you want to do P90x with your Xbox, you can do that. If you want to use dragon shouts by actually shouting or command your squad with your voice, you can do that too. And I've got a feeling that the best uses of the Kinect are yet to come. It's odd, new, and still brimming with potential. Why not take a chance on the future?
Next-gen shouldn't just be about playing the same old games with fancy new graphics. This is hardware that can really change the way we interact with games, and that's worth exploring.
Controller: The Dualshock 4 is a big improvement over the Dualshock 3, but the Xbox controller is still a beautiful little piece of industrial design. The Xbox One controller doesn't fix what isn't broken, but it builds on the now classic design in every way. Offset analog sticks remain a great way to game, and rumbling triggers actually make the experience feel different. It's also better balanced, and has an improved d-pad. We've come a long way since the dinner plates.
For shooter fans especially — a giant chunk of the gaming public — the Xbox controller design is tested, successful, and worth sticking with. In an industry dominated by cross-platform titles, some of the biggest differences between these two consoles are not on the screen, but in your hand. Controller preference is a bigger deal than it appears.
Exclusives: Software sells hardware. Titanfall is probably the next-gen game that has generated more buzz than any other, and it's not coming to PS4. On day one we get Lococycle, Ryse, Dead Rising, Forza, Fighter Within and Crimson Dragon. Quantity-wise, that's a little more to play with than on the PS4. In the future, I'm very curious to see what Project Spark can bring to the table — it looks something like Microsoft's answer to Littlebigplanet.
On top of that, Halo fans around the world have likely already made their decision based on that franchise alone. Exclusives come down to a matter of taste, and Sony performed very well towards the end of last generation. This, however, is a whole new ball game, and Microsoft is coming out swinging.
Entertainment: Much to the chagrin of gamers everywhere, Microsoft chose to focus on TV and entertainment options in its Xbox One reveal rather than games. But by now, we know that the system has games and, exclusives aside, they're a lot of the same games the PS4 has. A wealth of entertainment options, complete with Kinect controls, represent a valuable expansion to the capabilities that Microsoft slowly added to the Xbox 360 over the course of the previous generation. Microsoft's partnerships with the likes of Time Warner Cable Time Warner Cable, Verizon Fios, Comcast Comcast Xfinity and the NFL make this a very attractive option to gamers with cable. Plus, a Halo series produced by Spielberg is hard to argue with.
Add in MP3 support, DLNA streaming and audio CDs, and Xbox One can handily serve as an entertainment hub for the whole living room. I play games as much as anyone, but I still use my console for a whole lot of other things. It's worth making those things a priority as well.
There are more reasons to like the Xbox One, and other reasons to dislike it (again, covered in the PS4 post). An honorable mention goes to the little noise the Xbox makes when you get an achievement.
-Don't get mad at 'Dave' everything he said is true. Just because you like the PS4 and believe it's more powerful. Xbox is just behind- not for long though-> it's not easy pioneering new tech.
~After the cloud catches on im guessing SP campaigns will too take advantage of it by raising the texture detail. IE w/o cloud enabled will be like running a PC game @ MED settings and if using the cloud the game will use High/Ultra High setting. Argue if you want but it's where the future is heading. PS4 has no room for improvement system wise- Xbox has the cloud with a supposed pwr of 3x X1s 4every X1 sold. Maybe BS, but doubt it time will tell.
~Also Sony is just breaking even $wise per/PS4 sold – MS is making $100.00 per X1 sold… so who is going to have the money for System updates, better SDKs, $ for Securing Exclusives(doubt MS will ever let Sony have TitanFall)… we already get map packs for BF4 and COD before PS4… the 2 best sellers for both systems.
MS is swinging better hope they don't Kinect.
welcome to the world of crappy journalism, there nearly all the same.
Obviously your a butthurt Sony fan that gets mad whenever something positive is said about the Xbox One. I have a PS2/PS3 and a PS4. I also own every Xbox console including Xbox One. My PS4 is the least played console. All of my friends are on Xbox Live so multi's go to xbox. That leaves me with Killzone SF and that game is LAME!!! Im so mad I bought it but I had no idea what else to get with my PS4. Stop hating on the console thats currently PAWNING the PS4 just like the 360 did to PS3.
Could not agree more, I tried X1, and am HUGELY impressed, i already own 360+Kinect, but am going to get XBOX one on day one :)
Msft totally nailed this one, loved the bing search integration as well as the smooth flow of the UI.
I *HATE* bing – it is horrible and 10x worse than Google. Microsoft is NOT a 'search engine company,' and should stop pretending. Google rules in that regard. I took all the Bing/Google challenges and EVERY SINGLE TIME, Google found what I wanted, and I picked Google results from the blind tests. Go figure.
I already have several multimedia hub boxes in my living room , I am a gamer and the PS4 has the better game performance so far, Sony has the exclusives I want asides from Halo and Titanfall is not exclusive to the Xbox One, Its on the 360 and PC. I'll get both but PS4 first, I canceled my preorders on both nothing at launch I want to play Destiny and The Order1866 are the games I'm wanting to play and I think Destiny will play better on the PS4 than on Xbox 1
I wondEred about destiny too but destiny is An online Persistent shooter. so far the servers thing ms has down pat. Not sure PS is used to having so many people on line. Especially since games are getting their own free servers On xbl.
I expect Destiny to play MUCH better on Xbox. Bungie has much more of a familiarity with Xbox and had to hire in a bunch of employees that knew how to work with Sonys system.
Considering all of the information leaked so far has revealed Destiny is more than likely going to play as some type of MMOFPS (probably similar to Defiance) I think this would be a perfect opportunity for the MS cloud to show what it's capable of… Guess we'll see

> CWLA Calls on President Barack Obama to Convene a White House Conference on Children and Youth in 2010
> Send a Letter to President Obama
Latest CWLA Letter to President Barack Obama
October 11, 2010
President Barack Obama
The White House
Washington, DC
Dear Mr. President,
These are tough times for vulnerable children. The burgeoning poverty levels are adding to the woes of children born in need. That�s why the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) has written several times urging you to show bold leadership on behalf of the nation�s most vulnerable children by reconvening the White House Conference on Children and Youth. We are still awaiting a response and were surprised to learn that the administration backed a White House Community College Summit this week. We recognize that education is an important element to helping vulnerable children succeed; however, a more comprehensive approach is needed, as was the case with previous conferences for children. Larger systemic issues must be addressed to make meaningful, lasting changes.
Just over four decades have passed since a White House Conference convened to define a national policy agenda and advance the well-being of our nation�s children. While much has changed since 1970, too many children are struggling to access and benefit from the economic, social, and scientific gains that we as a nation have made. We continue to see alarming unmet needs among our poorest and most vulnerable children particularly those who must be served by the child welfare system.
Since it was first convened in 1909, the White House Conference for Children and Youth has helped bring the nation�s focus to the issues of safety, health and homelessness facing children and their families. That first conference articulated a set of values and goals that guide our children�s policy even today. Still the nation has struggled to achieve the goal�s articulated 100 years ago even as new challenges emerge, including the current deep recession which has devastated many families.
For this reason CWLA, and its nationwide network of public and private child serving member agencies, have called for the re-establishment of this conference. We believe that it provides a vital and inclusive approach to establishing a robust, knowledge driven, yet realistic national agenda for vulnerable children.
We were pleased that you cosponsored the legislation supporting the conference during your tenure as a U.S. Senator. We are also encouraged that this year both the House and Senate have reintroduced authorizing legislation. Many of our members and supporters have sent post cards and letters to you urging you to signal your support as President. Perhaps most notable among these is a letter from former U.S. Representative Patricia Schroeder, who wrote to you about the importance of this conference, the nationwide engagement leading up to it, and the opportunity the conference provides for historic impact as it transforms the lives of our most vulnerable children.
President Harry Truman said it best, �The White House Conferences have done much, over the years, to make our people and our Government conscious of the social problems, as they affect children, and to help solve those problems. These Conferences have made our democracy work better.� It is my hope that you can continue this valuable legacy.
You have shown your support now for a White House summit on community colleges. Will you now stand up for our children and families by reconvening the White House Conference on Children and Youth, and therefore assisting us with ensuring that children and families remain a national priority?

TIMBUKTU, Mali (AP) — The love story in this fabled desert outpost began over the phone, when he dialed the wrong number. It nearly ended with the couple's death at the hands of Islamic extremists who considered their romance "haram" — forbidden.
What happened in between is a study in how al-Qaida-linked militants terrorized a population, whipping women and girls in northern Mali almost every day for not adhering to their interpretation of the strict moral code known as Shariah. It is also a testament to the violent clash between the brutal, unyielding Islam of the invaders and the moderate version of the religion that has long prevailed in Timbuktu, once a center for Islamic learning.
Salaka Djicke is a round-faced, big-boned girl with the wide thighs still fashionable in the desert, an unforgiving terrain that leaves many women without curves. Until the Islamists came and upended her world, the 24-year-old lived a relatively free life.
During the day, she helped her mother bake bread in a mud oven, selling each puffy piece for 50 francs (10 cents). In the afternoon, she grilled meat on an open fire and sold brochettes on the side of the road. She saved the money she earned to buy herself makeup and get her hair styled.
Like her sisters and friends, she spoke openly with men — including the stranger who called her by mistake more than a year ago.
The man thought he was calling his cousin. When he heard Salaka's voice, he apologized. His voice was polite but firm, with the authoritative cadence of a man in his prime. Hers was flirtatious, and her laugh betrayed her youth.
They started talking.
A few days later, he called her again. For two weeks, they spoke nearly every day, until he asked for directions to her house.

Walzel Courts, Corbin J. Robertson Center
The Corbin J. Robertson Center offers students a comprehensive, multipurpose resource for wellness, health, recreational and intramural activities and intercollegiate athletic competition.
The $8.2 million facility opened in 1995. The 95,000 square foot building is designed to meet the needs of the more than 90 percent of SU's student body who participate in individual, recreational, club, intramural or varsity athletics programs, plus faculty, staff, alumni and local community members.
The facility includes the Robertson Performance Court with seating for 1,750 during athletic competition, a 1/8th mile indoor track, four cardiovascular workout areas along the track with stairsteppers and stationary bicycles, a weight room with Cybex and free weight equipment, an exercise/aerobic room, the Walzel Courts, an athletic training center, a state-of-the-art human performance lab, the Walzel Natatorium (an indoor swimming pool), racquetball courts, locker rooms, Southwestern's Athletic Hall of Fame, classrooms and faculty offices for the Department of Kinesiology, and the offices of Athletics, Intramurals & Recreational Activities, Health Services and Counseling Services.
The Walzel Courts and Walzel Natatorium are named in honor of James V. and Pat Walzel, who contributed funds for the construction in honor of their daughters, Penny Walzel Alfry and Sunday Walzel Coffman, Class of 1983. James V. Walzel currently chairs Southwestern's Board of Trustees.
The entire center was named for the late Corbin J. Robertson, a Houston businessman and philanthropist. His widow, Wilhelmina Cullen Robertson Smith, has long been involved with Southwestern. Her late parents, Hugh Roy and Lillie Cullen established the Cullen Foundation in 1947. The foundation and the Cullen Trust for Higher Education have provided major grants for scholarships and facilities at Southwestern.

July 12, 1992: Most Tornadoes in One Day
The July 12, 1992, F-2 Tornado struck the Village of Whitehouse and Waterville Township in Lucas County. This photos show some of the damage to Anthony Wayne Middle School. Despite the apparent destruction, this storm did not warrant a disaster declaration as there were no injuries nor fatalities and all the home and business losses were covered by insurance. The school did ask for assistance from the State of Ohio Department of Education and received $240,000 for emergency repairs and replacement of supplies to restart the school year, which began on schedule the following August.

and appeared before the state's Public Safety and Security Committee in Hartford on Tuesday to show support for proposed legislation that would require all homes in Connecticut to have smoke and carbon detectors, according to the Connecticut Post.
The bill, which seeks to fine homeownwers up to $1,000 and up to six months of imprisonment, is in reaction to the .
A state law requiring carbon monoxide detectors in new residential buildings already exists, according to the Connecticut Post, but this bill would require them in one- and two-family homes as well. It would also require smoke detectors in existing buildings. Previously, only new buildings were required to have them.
Pavia described the December fire as "the most tragic Christmas in the history of Stamford" and stressed that a properly installed smoke alarm is "the only thing that the homeowner has that can alert individuals and families" to a fire.

Relatively recently at the Coppermine Pub's 2nd anniversary party (over a month ago), in North Arlington, NJ. Into a snifter, it poured a deep black with a thin brown head; very little retention or lacing, and expectedly no carbonation. Certainly very 'scotchy' in the nose; caramel and peat. For an American weaned on bourbon-barrel aged fare resulting in cherry/vanilla aromas, this was definitely a change of pace. The taste mirrored the nose, with no additional insight, save the fact that the alcohol content was VERY apparent, particularly in the finish. Thick, yet smooth due to the lack of carbonation. Very different yet good imperial stout, but I guess I've grown more accustomed and biased to bourbon barrel nuances.

330ml bottle cellared for 3+ years and served in a snifter. bottled on 5/12/2009
Pours a very dark brown with almost no noticeable head. Smell is strong scotch-whiskey. extremely pleasant aroma to my personal senses. Taste is a bit less than the smell. Scotch up front with a tad of smoke/bitterness on the finish. Not too complex but fairly enjoyable for what it is. Lighter side of medium bodied (if you can believe it) with low (no) carbonation. Its very very easy to drink despite the high ABV. However, the extremely light body does not fit the style profile.
Overall this is a pretty enjoyable brew. The cellaring helped it out, but the body profile really hurts this one. Still, I'm glad to have tried it.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of July 2011, so it's well out of date. Given to me for my birthday 3 or 4 years ago - thanks bro! Stored in my garage since then; hopefully without suffering major deterioration. I thought it would be a suitable libation for my 900th review.
Poured into a Duvel tulip. A very dark brown hue that appears pitch black in the glass. Yields a small head of light brown foam that lasts for a few minutes before subsiding. Aroma of dark, fruity malt with strong whisky overtones. Notes of sherry, whisky, prunes, dried fruit, brown sugar, faint roasted malt, subtle spice and warming alcohol. Some initial metallic hints but these fade away. Seriously boozy and possibly somewhat oxidised, though this is hard to judge.
Tastes of roasted malt with a pronounced whisky character and a lingering, boozy finish. Notes of roasted grain, prunes, dried fruit, faint burnt notes, brown sugar/caramel, sherry, whisky, mild wood, a hint of smoke and a twinge of cardboard. A slightly hot, alcoholic quality upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and warm, but rather flat and insipid. Lacks carbonation and the body is watery. Aftertaste of dark malt and boozy whisky notes.
Decent but not mind-blowing. Perhaps I allowed this to sit around for too long. Looks OK - I didn't expect much head for a 10% brew. The aroma is intensely spirit-laden; whisky and sherry come across strongly but suggest a lack of depth. The flavour is more rounded, with roasted malt and whisky notes reaching an amicable accord. The body is unimpressive - should be thicker and more substantial for such a strong brew. Increased carbonation would also be nice. The sherry/cardboard notes imply a degree of oxidation, though it's difficult to know to what extent this has affected the brew (or whether such flavours were present to begin with). Overall it's an interesting effort, but I feel that the malt character is rather superficial and the beer as a whole misses it's mark. Glad I tried it but not an experience to be repeated.

Bottle given to me at a beer bar in Stowe. Last one they had. It was chilled so I let it warm.
Almost black, poured hard and fast, head was gone in an instant!
Very light head that stayed on the edge of the Chimay glass for a little while.
S: Stout nose with Scotch that didn't stay for too long. Bananas, cat pee (yes!)
T: Slight Scotch and stout.
M: Very, very thin.
O: Damn, I was hoping for more than this, just like their Macallan, way too thin.

Botled 5/12/09
A: Dark brown, almost black with a small light khaki head. Spotty lacing left behind.
S: Boozy, mainly whisky with a slight twang to it. A bit of roasted malt and honey like sweetness.
T: Much less scotch whisky on the palate, it is there and does add to the stout, but behind that is a pretty mediocre, at best, stout. Lots of coffee undertones, bittersweet bakers chocolate and a hint of dark fruits. Finishes a bit roasty with a bit of lingering alcohol.
M: Medium to lighter body. Very thin for the style. Moderate carbonation.
O: Pretty disappointed in this since I love Scotch and imperial stouts... It's got a really think mouthfeel, not the greatest nose and it's still pretty boozy and one dimensional.

Poured from a bottle to a snifter.
Pours black with dark brown edges. Leaves a finger and a half of khaki head that fades quickly.
Strong scent of oaky bourbon. Chocolate and sweet malt, as well.
Much less bourbon than in the nose. There are deeper chocolate and sweet caramel flavors here.
It is a bit thin for the style with light carbonation.
This beer starts off with a good smell, but has a fairly one dimensional taste. I would make it a bit creamier and add some complexity to the taste. Perhaps vanilla?

Served from the bottle at room temp. Not sure why but thats what they told me when it was brought to me. Didn't bother me at all. I finished pouring the bottle into the snifter glass and looked it over. Black colored body, thin head retention not much lacing. The smell was boozy and roasted. The nose was full of barrel aged aromas and smoke. The flavor of the beer has a massive roasted taste and plenty of scotch in there left over from the barrels. The mouthfeel is full of heat, leaves an intense warmth down the chest as you drink it. Overall this beer was strong but if you take it in over a good amount of time, it's pretty good.

This beer is about as complex as I expected. I'm a big fan of single malt scotch, so the mingling of flavors is quite intriguing.
First off, the nose is a lot more Wee-Heavy than I was expecting. The sweet malt dominates the front of the smell, and there is definitely a barrel aged presence, the end of the draw reveals the scotch whiskey and alcohol notes.
The flavor brings on oaky vanilla tinged malt, sweet at first and then transitions to a dry single malt finish with a lingering taste of the malt. A really fantastic blend of beer and whiskey, but without the intense strength of a single malt.
A real treat of a beer, I'm looking forward to trying the other Paradox variations.

Body is a translucent dark brown/black. Poured to a half inch head produces lots of large round bubbles, which settle to a ring, with slight lacing.
Aromas of charred malt, chocolate, and Springbank single malt.
Taste is charred malt, dark chocolate, dark fruit, and Springbank whiskey. It is a bit sour and smokey (due to the Springbank).
Body is light and carbonation is low, giving this a flat mouthfeel.
This is a good tasting stout, and the Springbank barrel aging adds to the taste. It is a bit light in mouthfeel for a stout. One to have as a late night sipper.

In a one-sentence summary, The BrewDog Springbank is a scotch hidden in a beer.
It's color is dark and rich brown.
It smells like a stout with additional straight alcohol added and that's about how it tastes.
Only for the serious stout lover. . . I'll avoid.

Poured from a 33cL bottle into a wine glass.
A: Oh-so-dark brown, with a fizzy tan head that sticks around the edges for ages.
S: Chocolate malts, vanilla/molasses overtones, and an alcoholic base. A small whiff of peat is probably just my wishful thinking.
T: Much lighter than expected. As recommended, I poured this at room temperature, but I'm not sure it did the beer any favours. The weakly carbonated body isn't very robust, nor is the flavour. Bitter chocolate dominates the taste until the end, when a glimmer of whisky shines through. Honestly, I expected more whisky character from six months in the barrel. I know and like Springbank, but I can only detect its presence right around the edges. Following a welcome warmth, the aftertaste is dry, pleasantly bitter, slightly smoky, and of medium duration.
M: Thin, but what is present is good.
D: Not the best effort, and not recommended at room temperature (next time I'll try around 50 degrees Fahrenheit). But still, an enjoyable experience. I think I will try other bottlings of the Paradox to see if I can find a batch more suited to my tastes. Springbank whisky is recommended, but its charm has not passed on to its namesake stout.

Pours a one finger light tan head that fades quickly to a ring leaving a little lace. Black color, no highlights. Medium carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Molasses nose. Flavor is molasses, smokey, hints of alcohol. Best by Mar 31, 2011. Try once. Expensive at $11.99 for a 330ml bottle from Beverage Warehouse Winooski, VT.

Grabbed this off the cask at Churchkey in DC, and its definitely a beer worth a shot, but doesnt live up to the use of one of my favorite scotches. Served in a snifter.
Pours a dark brown, perhaps a full black. Head is very thin, dark tan, and lingers throughout the drink. Nose is particularly peat smoky, really reminds me of a good scotch here. I get a good deal of barley and definitely the barrel.
Taste has a bit of smokiness, balanced with a subtle sweetness. Thick body, fully coats the mouth. A bit of chocolate in there too, really balances things out nicely. Hard to say this is really drinkable, perhaps as more of an after-dinner drink in smaller servings.

I can't help but compare this to bourbon county stout. In any case, having recently had sprinbank scotch, I have a unique perspective.
It poured a light espresso head which vanished. This was after I opened it on a cabinet handle (the hotel hasn't figured out that people open bottles with bottle openers. I'm in London). It is british beer, so its probably not going to be super carbonated anyway.
As soon as i cracked it open on said cabinet handle, the room smelled like springbank.
Two things strike me. One, the mouthfeel. Very light, for a 10% RIS. Pleasant. If you're looking for a big drippy affair, this isn't it, but its a nice sipper all the same. I could drink this more readily than raison d'etre
Taste- you can taste the springbank, I think. There's a hit of peat in there, it's smokier than a bourbon stout. Like a smoky scotch, it isn't necessarily heavy. There's a hint of oatmeal in the underlying stout, too.
Overall, I like it. Will it replace BCS as my favorite? No. But its a more drinkable, different animal. I feel like its a lighter stout base.

The "Hold":
The hold is not an official statistic, but it was created as a way to
credit middle relief pitchers for a job well done. Starting pitchers get wins, and closers -- the relief pitchers who come in at the end of the game -- get saves, but the guys who pitch in between the two rarely get either statistic. So what's the most important thing one of these middle relievers can do? "Hold" a lead. If a reliever comes into a game to protect a lead, gets at least one out and leaves without giving up that lead, he gets a hold. But you can't get a save and a hold at the same time.

PONTIAC — Three hundred, twenty-two thousand, six hundred and nine.
Activist LuAnne Kozma won't deny that it's a lot of signatures required to get her favored proposal for a statewide ban on hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," on the Nov. 2014 ballot, but after a special town hall meeting on the subject, she feels optimistic.
"I don't think we can rely on the current state government, or frankly, the future government to do this. It's a power that we, the people, have, and we need to do this for ourselves and future generations," said Kozma, the campaign director of the Committee to Ban Fracking in Michigan.
Approximately 100 turned out to the Oakland County Commissioners Auditorium Wednesday night to learn more on the subject and to network with others in the crowd, the vast majority of whom who seemed to be strongly against the controversial practice of collecting natural gas from underwater sources, currently taking place in several counties in Michigan.
According to organizers and county commissioners Jim Nash (D-Farmington Hills), a candidate for and Craig Covey (D-Ferndale), the process of fracking involves using a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals to break apart energy-rich rocks.
Erik Bauss, of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, said that he frequently works with the energy industry and state regulators to safely drill in order to take advantage of home-grown resources. However, in Kozma's view and the view of many in attendance, the industry is in bed with state legislators, blind to local concerns.
"Our state regulators pretty much repeat industry talking points. They say, 'We have no plans for this county,' but they really do. It's actually surprising to me that it's an issue here, because of the high population. I'm hoping county residents will use this to make others in the state aware of what's happening," said Kozma, a Charlevoix resident.
The issue became local in large part after a state mineral rights auction in May during which Jordan Development of Traverse City purchased much of the available 18,347 acres in Oakland County. West Bloomfield resident Kathy Chiaravalli, who attended that auction as well as the meeting in May, pointed out that rights to .
"In Michigan, there's absolutely no relationship between the starting bid of the land and the potential economic benefit. No relationship between the starting bid of the land and the potential impact. It could be on a lake with many people," Chiaravalli said Wednesday during public comment.
Chiaravalli successfully lobbied officials in her township to pass a resolution banning oil and gas drilling. However, Kozma pointed out, that may not be enough to protect the entirety of Oakland County from potential harm.
"Locally, local community after local community can band together, but at the end of the day it still sets up a situation in which some communities are protected while others are not," she said.

Subaru Forester Passenger Air Bag Occupancy Sensor
jwmoorman Posts: 1I bought a 2008 Subaru Impreza in July. After taking it back to the dealer 3 times they said that the front seat passenger air bag was designed not to activate with less than about 125 pounds on the seat. My wife is 5'4" and between 120 and 130 pounds. She is not petite or child sized. The air bag sometimes is on and sometimes is off. It changes randomly and unpredictably. I have complained to NHTSA (complaint # 10245216), Subaru Customer Service (complaint# 1-112807041) , the dealer, the president of Subaru America (Mr. Kunio Ishigami) and have sent a letter to the President of Fuji Heavy Industries (Mr. Ikuo Mori). I would not have bought the car if I had known it would not be safe. The air bag in the 2009 Forester I tested worked perfectly so I know Subaru can design a safe airbag system. If you consider passenger air bags important for safety, don't buy an Impreza.
sildog Posts: 50We just realized that our Impreza has the same issue. My wife normally drives the car, but recently, she spent some time in the passenger seat - and the airbag light indicates "off" most of the time. She is 5-4, 110 pounds. Our dealer is planning to "re-program" the system, but I have little hope that this is going to resolve it - unless this involves putting a weight on her seat.
I guess I'll keep you posted.
alphie1 Posts: 3About 24 months back our '06 Forester was problem for us bigtime. Dealer made extraordinary efforts, zone rep got involved, a generous offer was made to trade the car which I refused since the '08 had same system. Ended up trading the '06 for an early '09. After 18 months and about 16,000 miles the '09 has no problem. Interesting to note that '09 owners manual spends a few pages talking about pax air bag arming while the '06 manual gave the subject short shrift. IMHO this is a very unfortunate situation and I am really sorry to hear folks are still having the problem. Good luck, but based on my experience, I doubt Subaru will be willing/able to correct if it is same situation that existed before.

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is kicking off a year-long State Parks Centennial 2013 celebration of statewide events, beginning with First Day Hikes on Jan. 1.
Hikers are encouraged to get out and ring in the new year and help State Parks celebrate its 100th birthday, with a bracing hike in any of the 13 parks participating in the program. The event offers participants a chance to start the year off with a healthy hike, "walk off" their holiday feasting and get a taste of the diverse natural resources and recreation opportunities found in state parks all over Washington.
The First Day Hikes scheduled as part of the day range from interpretive strolls through Pacific Northwest old-growth forests, snowshoe walks over snowy hillsides in Eastern Washington and family-friendly treks around the waters of Western Washington. The Discover Pass is required for vehicle access to the events.
Hikes offered in Washington state parks include:
• Olallie State Park and Iron Horse State Park in North Bend: A moderate three-mile interpretive hike begins at 11 a.m. at the Cedar Falls Trailhead in Iron Horse State Park. Participants will hike to Cedar Butte, crossing into Olallie State Park by way of the old Milwaukee Railroad. Visitors will learn about the Boxley Blowout, a pre-Christmas flood in 1918 that permanently wiped the nearby town of Edgewick out of existence. The hike is open to participants 10 years of age and older. Visitors are asked to leave pets at home.
• Cama Beach State Park on Camano Island: An easy mile-and-a-half-mile hike runs from 1:30 to 3 p.m. beginning at the Marine View Trailhead. Participants will explore the wooded areas of the park and hike along Saratoga Passage, concluding at Cama Center. The hike is open to visitors of all ages and on-leash dogs are welcome.
• Camano Island State Park on Camano Island: A moderate two-and-a-half-mile hike runs from 1 to 3 p.m. beginning at the Bluff Trailhead near the Lowell Point parking area. Participants will transverse the trail between Cama Beach and Camano Island state parks, with the hike ending at Cama Center. The hike is open to participants of all ages. A shuttle is available to return hikers to the Lowell Point parking area.
• Deception Pass State Park on Whidbey Island: A moderate mile-and-a-half-mile hike runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. beginning at Bowman Bay. Participants will walk along the shore of the Salish Sea at Rosario Beach, then up Rosario Head for views of Deception Island and the Puget Sound. The hike is open to visitors of all ages.

Texas A&M football player faces shoplifting charges
Rosenberg police arrested Aggie defensive back Victor Davis for shoplifting at a Kohl's Department Store.

Rosenberg police arrested Aggie defensive back Victor Davis for shoplifting at a Kohl's Department Store.
ESPN and Comcast Cable have reached an agreement for carriage of the SEC Network, which will begin rolling out to fans and followers of the Southeastern Conference across Comcast markets at the start of the SEC college football season.
Alabama receiver Amari Cooper has been through the offseasons filled with talk of repeat national championships, and now he's endured one that began with sour memories not celebratory confetti showers.
After withstanding more criticism late last season amid a two-game losing streak than at any time in several years, Alabama coach Nick Saban said Thursday he is turning a critical eye to the media.
Media members at SEC Media Days picked Alabama to win the Southeastern Conference football championship.
Bret Bielema didn't bite this time. Not really.
Missouri made a surprising run to the top of the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division in just its second year in the league.
Alabama and Southern California are set for their first regular-season matchup since some storied games in the 1970s.
A horde of media surrounded Mississippi State's quarterback Dak Prescott. He's no AJ McCarron or Johnny Manziel, but he's perhaps a star in the making.
You can learn a lot about a man when he you stick a microphone in his face and pepper him with questions at rapid-fire pace.
Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin started his SEC Media Days opening statement by saying that he did not come to the Wynfrey ballroom to tell everybody who would be his starting quarterback -- and therefore all questions of that kind should be eliminated.
Dan Mullen didn't shy away from the expectations. He's told Mississippi State to do the same.
South Carolina head football coach met the media on Tuesday.
New Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason wants plenty of competition among the quarterbacks as he tries to keep the good times going for the Commodores, and he's getting it.
Florida coach Will Muschamp is confident he has the remedy for questions about his job security: Winning a lot of football games.
Auburn coach Gus Malzahn says quarterback Nick Marshall will "suffer the consequences" but isn't elaborating on what punishment he'll face after being cited for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana following a traffic stop in Georgia.
Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive is confident the NCAA reform he's been pushing for years will take a big step toward becoming a reality in August.
Four days. Fourteen coaches. Forty-two players. And ESPN.
The Southeastern Conference announced the players who will be participating in SEC Media Days Monday-Thursday in Birmingham:
DirecTV has made a statement regarding the SEC Network, arguing it is fighting for non-sports fans while still hoping to carry the network when it launches next month.
Alabama junior running back Kenyan Drake was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with one misdemeanor count of "obstructing government operations," the Tuscaloosa County Jail confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.
In a recent interview with The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C., Steve Spurrier suggested that Nick Saban has underachieved yes, underachieved during his tenure at Alabama.
John Norwood's home run in the top of the eighth inning gave Vanderbilt the lead, and the Commodores beat Virginia 3-2 on Wednesday night for their first national championship.
USA TODAY Sports' Paul Myerberg, Dan Wolken and George Shroeder preview the SEC.
Vanderbilt capitalized on Virginia starter Nathan Kirby's sudden loss of control to score nine runs in the third inning, then held off the Cavaliers to win 9-8 in Game 1 of the College World Series finals Monday night.
Brian O'Connor has done just about everything at the College World Series except win a national championship.
Sports personality Tim Fletcher is working with The Times and offers his commentary and videos.

Flight center trains pilots in memory of Scott City family
By ANGIE HAFLICH
By ANGIE HAFLICH
Las Vegas looks just like Las Vegas and Garden City Regional Airport looks just like the Garden City Regional Airport on the flight simulator at the Spencer Flight and Education Center in Scott City.
"You can see Garden City airport right off to the right, the tower there," SFEC Chairman Brian Vulgamore said as he pointed to a monitor outside of the simulation room.
The full-motion flight simulator, the Redbird FMX, is located at the SFEC at the Scott City Municipal Airport. The SFEC opened its doors on Sept. 14, and is something Vulgamore and Vice Chairman Andy Hineman hope will prevent tragedies like the one that claimed the lives of the Spencer family in 2011. Richard Spencer, 35, his wife Amy, 34, and their daughters Chase, 7, and Ansley, 5, were killed in a small plane crash near Topeka.
This prompted Vulgamore, a longtime friend of Spencer, along with their flight instructor Weston Thompson, to create a place where pilots in western Kansas can hone their skills and be exposed to a variety of conditions.
The computer program, Flight Simulator X, provides superior graphics of real world locations, such as Las Vegas or Garden City.
The simulator's full-motion capabilities recreates the feeling of falling after a stall, for instance, extremely realistic. The motion is so realistic that Hineman said it almost made him airsick the first time he tried it.
The program and simulator combined allow pilots to train in conditions they might face when flying an actual airplane. The program also allows an instructor, outside of the simulator, to add different types of weather conditions to the simulated flight, forcing the pilot to adapt and adjust.
Vulgamore demonstrated Tuesday this as Hineman was flying.
"I'll throw a real strong wind at him and then I'll change directions of the wind and watch him rock in there in the simulator," Vulgamore said.
Hineman's view inside the simulator depicted the perspective from the cockpit complete with the sound of a humming airplane engine.
The simulator is configured for a Beechcraft A36, Beechcraft BE58, Cessna 172 and Cessna 206, allowing for pilots to practice with each type of plane's instrument panel. An instructor can disable the pilot's engine or otherwise manipulate the instruments in the simulator, forcing the pilot to draw upon his or her training to deal with any situation.
When Vulgamore disabled Hineman's engine, he said that in order for him to be able to land it, the most important thing is that he maintain his air speed.
"If he gets too slow, he'll just fall like a rock — he'll stall out," Vulgamore said.
He said one of the biggest benefits of having the simulator is that it allows pilots to experience conditions that can't be replicated in the air.
"For instance, I'm going to the K-State/KU game in Manhattan on Saturday. There's a 30 to 40 percent chance of rain. So there's a good chance I'm going to be having to fly into Manhattan in the clouds. So probably on Thursday or Friday I'll come out here and practice doing that half a dozen times," he said.
The hopes are to attract certified flight instructors to use the facility. Vulgamore said that the ratio of instructors to pilots is 11 to 1 in western Kansas.
"It's four or five to one in eastern Kansas," he said. "If we could generate enough interest in aviation to get some instructors out here and know that there's a pipeline of people to teach, it's easier to keep them around."
Some of the ways they have been doing this is by working with area schools, such as Garden City Community College, to encourage adding aviation courses to their curricula.
"(We) encouraged them to reintroduce aviation, and so they're offering that this fall semester. The ground school, and their plan is to expand on that and offer more courses down the road, maybe an instrument course and so forth, and then send the students up here to use the simulator," Hineman said.
There has also been coordination between SFEC and Scott Community High School.
"We've got a couple (of students) right now who are wanting to get their private pilots licenses and go on to K-State Aviation school, and we're hoping we can offer a scholarship down the road and send a student to K-State Aviation in Salina. And then in the summers, they could come back and instruct," Vulgamore said.
Vulgamore and Hineman said that the money generated from the charges for using the simulator is going to be put directly back into SFEC, a nonprofit organization.
"The way we're going to fund this thing going forward is selling hours in the simulator," Vulgamore said. "We're a not for profit organization, so all we want to do is make enough money to keep the doors open. We want to have this thing to be the cheapest simulator anywhere that people can use."

The Journal Express
---- — To the Editor:
Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds has publicly assured Iowans that the suspension of the state worker who alerted the Highway Patrol to a speeding car occupied by the governor and herself was "absolutely unrelated" to the speeding incident.
Gov. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds know "absolutely" what is going on in places afar in which they are not, but the two of them are totally unaware of what is going on in a car in which they are both backseat rider (but obviously not drivers).
Hum . . . clear enough; it was just a matter of schedule timing and counting on some sympathy due because the rest of us don't know the time of day.
Anyway, if perchance any of us ever gets caught out of time and speeding from one place to another, just inform the trooper that your speed is "absolutely unrelated" to what he ought to be doing and that is to be enforcing the law where he is not.
And whoosh . . . it's a bird . . . it's a plane . . . what was that that went flashing by as you were pulled to the side of the road? That was SPEEDY BRANSTAD, and SIDEKICK, and faster than Law & Order because they are willing to cut corners.

Race Preview: Fresh back from the Tour de France; Ed Hood gives us his thoughts on this Saturday's San Sebastian Classic. The winner could be a rider with fitness from the Tour or one building up for the Vuelta. Whichever, there is always a tough fight in the Basque Country.
The Tour of America's Dairyland presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board concluded Sunday night at the East Tosa Gran Prix, a neighborhood overfloweth with fans' physical and emotional presence from Start/Finish to house parties all around the four-corner rectangular course.
The penultimate race day of the 11-venue Tour of America's Dairyland presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board was celebrated Saturday on Milwaukee's Eastside for the highly anticipated ISCorp Downer Classic presented by Intelligentsia.
The 11-day Tour of America's Dairyland presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board continued Friday in Downtown Fond du Lac with the fan-friendly Commonwealth Classic.
Sunshine showered riders throughout Day 8 of the Tour of America's Dairyland presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. A new venue, the Oshkosh Criterium de Titan was a flat, 4-corner course across the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh campus and along the tranquil Fox River.
Day 7 of the Tour of America's Dairyland presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board is reminiscent of the Annual Family Reunion. Racers show up in maxx-field force then hang out all day, catching up with old friends in the parking lot, throwing a dance party in the Feed Zone, and picnicking in the grass atop the hill. A day of rest for many.
The super technical Schlitz Park Criterium, Day 6 of the Tour of America's Dairyland presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, brought forth some new faces on the podium, interesting figurative and literal twists along the course, and an exchanging of Overall jerseys.
Day 5 of the Tour of America's Dairyland presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board took riders south along the Fox River for a new ToAD race venue, the Beloit Bike Classic presented by Beloit Health System.
Downtown Waukesha, Wisconsin, was the backdrop for Day 4 of the Tour of America's Dairyland presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. Salt of the Earth fans and incredibly generous support from the City and title sponsor are mainstays of the Carl Zach Cycling Classic presented by Couri Insurance. Waukesha did not disappoint and was a cordial host to ToAD's second of two USA Cycling National Criterium Calendar (NCC) dates.
Race Analysis: The Tour de Suisse finished with a bang yesterday as the GC got turned inside out on the very last stage. Attacking riding, a brave GC defense and some simply spectacular scenery - the 2014 Tour de Suisse sure put on a good show. Lee Rodgers takes a look back at the action.
Passionate cycling fans in Grafton lined the streets early then poured into the streets late for photographs and autographs at the Giro d' Grafton, Day 3 of the Tour of America's Dairyland presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. Historically, they have donated their heart, soul and vocal cords to the racers, and Saturday night, the Pro Men and Women USA Cycling National Criterium Calendar (NCC) contests were a way of giving back. A phenomenal show was put on, and it was standing room only, nearly ten deep in sections along the boards.
Sheer power dominated Day 2 of the Tour of America's Dairyland presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. In between raindrops falling prior to the day's first race and resuming post-Pro Men podium, racers throughout the day exhibited true grit and determination 'til the Finish. Whether or not $4,500 in primes served as a motivator, spectators were treated to a solid day of athletics.
Whereas just a day prior when some rain-blanketed streets were better suited for canoes than bikes, Tour of America's Dairyland (ToAD) presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board got off to a thunderous start Thursday evening, thanks to the loud boom of applause and board banging.
Race Analysis: After the fireworks of the GC battle at the Dauphiné of last week the Tour de Suisse has so far been dominated by the sprinters. It's been a far from boring affair though as Lee Rodgers explains in his latest look at the action before the expected GC showdown this weekend.
Race Analysis: With more action than most GrandTours squeeze into 3 weeks this year's Dauphiné was an absolute cracker. Lee Rodgers looks back at the big events of Froome imploding, the resurgence of Alberto Contador and the simply superb performance of Andrew Talansky. What a race!
Photo Report: After the action of the 2014 Clarendon Cup was over on Saturday it was time for the men's and women's peloton to roll into Arlington and on to the demanding Crystal Cup the very next day. Darrell Parks was there once again for PEZ to capture all the best images.
The Air Force Cycling Classic's Clarendon Cup is part of USA Cycling's National Criterium Circuit and has been one of the Washington DC region's premier Pro/Am races since 1998. It's known as one of the most difficult criterium races in the U.S. due to the technical course and big fields and always provides a great show for spectators. Ace photographer Darrell Parks was there for PEZ to take it all in.
Photo Report: The Philadelphia Cycling Classic is always one of the best races of the year on the North American Cycling Calendar. The sights, sounds and party atmosphere of the famous Manayunk wall have given the race legendary status amongst riders and fans alike and once again ace photographer Darrell Parks was in the middle of it all taking the best pics for PEZ.
Competition Continues in Huntsville, Alabama for Amateur and Elite Cyclists for the Southeast Regional Series
Pro Cyclist and Cancer Survivor Jackie Crowell Returns to Cycling as Race Announcer. Huntsville, Alabama is renowned for the high-velocity missiles and space orbiters that are part of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center®, the official NASA Visitor Information Center for the Marshall Space Flight Center. The weekend of June 14-15, the Rocket City will be the showcase for high-velocity, two-wheeled vehicles on the ground.

I was not thrilled with your building. It was neat and clean but the doorways are very narrow requiring many trips to unload. The available carts are second rate- have no siderails and are hard to push. Combined with small doors-hard to unload.Steve from Bel Air, MD

Consistent with much of the recent literature on cognition and working memory, as well as visual and auditory stimuli, humans apportion finite cognitive resources to process auditory and visual stimuli on an "as needed" basis. However, as the demands increase, reaction time increases and accuracy decreases. Indeed, cognitive resources are limited, as is processing speed, working memory and individual ability.Kemker et al (2009) report cognitive attention theory is based on a multidimensional attention-based system that allocates processing resources from a finite supply. Some tasks require minimal resources which can involve nearly or actually automatic processing (i.e., minimal) while others demand significant processing (i.e., controlled processing). The authors note that previous research has revealed the most demanding require the most attention capacity. Further, three key variables impact both types of processing: (1) memory-load, (2) the nature of stimulus-response mapping, and (3) the amount of practice.Kemker et al examined the effects of an ongoing cell phone conversation across a battery of cognitive tests with regard to response time and accuracy across auditory and visual cognitive arenas. Not surprisingly, when complex tasks are introduced involving working memory, lexical and form discrimination, controlled processing is required. Specifically, they determined that visual cognitive performance is degraded with simultaneous cell phone use. For example, while the visual cognitive task is simple, auditory distraction causes little impact. However, as the visual cognitive task becomes increasingly complicated, the effect of the auditory distraction increases.For More Information, References, and RecommendationsCalifornia Department of Motor Vehicles (retrieved Nov 28, 2009) Driver Distractions – Don't Be a Statistic.http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffdl28.htmKemker BE, Stierwalt JAG, LaPointe LL, Heald, GR (2009) Effects of a Call Phone Conversation on Cognitive Processing Performances.
