Like all horror stories, this one began innocently. My daughter was moving to a new job out of state and on moving day she handed me a small box with a cable attached to it and asked, Can you return this to Time Warner?
Sure, I said. Its a good thing I didnt say, No problem. That would have been a lie. It took me four visits to the cable companys Raleigh store on Atlantic Avenue to complete my mission.
In the meantime, Time Warner Cable sent my daughter a bill for $70 for failure to return equipment and followed up with a notice that her debt had been turned over to collections.
It wasnt that I hadnt tried. I went to the TWC store first on a Sunday. I thought the cable company might have limited Sunday hours for people who cant get there during the work week and for those who are moving on weekends. The store was closed.
Next, I tried on a Saturday. I could barely get in the door for the snaking line of about 40 people. I asked an information clerk why it was so crowded. Its always like this on Saturday, she said.
I decided not to wait. I went back on a Thursday. Same line, different answer. Its because of the snow and all.
I went back Monday. Same crowd, but changes. No line. Instead, 15 chairs were set in three rows with more set along the walls. Almost all were occupied. All who entered took a number. How long will this take? Forty five minutes to an hour.
I went back Tuesday. I asked why it was so crowded. I was told some clerks were at lunch. It was 3:25 p.m. I took a number: 939. They were on 911.
I waited standing up, observing the people seated in their plastic chairs, some elderly, some with children, some with cable boxes on their laps. Time Warner Cables News 14 played on a TV before them. They were a captive audience. Some stared ahead. Others struck up conversations.
As new people arrived, their eyes swept the room in disbelief as they took in the packed cable purgatory. Some numbers were called to no response. Those customers had given up, they and their patience gone. At one point there was even a line to get a number.
One man came, looked and walked back out disgusted. I followed him. He was Gerald Bunch, 69, of Raleigh. He had come to the office that morning to pay his bill, but it was too crowded. He had come back, and it was the same.
I cant wait no hour, he said. There should be two lines, he said, one for people paying their bills and another for people returning equipment. This is ridiculous.
I went back in. At 4:30 p.m., my number came up. The clerk was quick and helpful. I turned in the box, got the failure-to-return-equipment charge dropped and received a receipt. The transaction took three minutes.
Scott Pryzwansky, TWCs public relations director, said the wait times at the Atlantic Avenue store dont live up to our standards for a quality customer experience. He said, We are adding customer care representatives to this store and expect them to start by THE END OF NEXT MONTH. (Emphasis mine).
I add this tale to the encyclopedia of the cable industrys customer service woes with more urgency than irritation. The cable giant Comcast has bid $45 billion to buy Time Warner Cable and expand its subscriber base from 22 million to 30 million, about 30 percent of the overall market. That cable colossus likely would be even more impervious to customer complaints. This threat was succinctly documented in an article last week in the International Business Times headlined: Comcast-Time Warner Cable Merger Promises Worst Customer Service Disaster In History.
It sounds like a headline from the satirical website The Onion. But this is no joke. The IBT article reported: In 2013, the American Customer Satisfaction Index, which surveys about 70,000 customers annually, ranked Comcast last and TWC second to last among Internet service providers, already a low-ranked industry in terms of customer service.
Both cable providers have earned places in MSN Moneys Customer Service Hall of Shame. Yelp.com reviews blister them. Facebook pages are devoted to the primal screams of frustrated customers.
In recent years, that anguish has given rise to a cut the cord movement. Many people are quitting cable TV and watching shows through the Internet. But the cable companies are also cornering the market on the high-speed Internet access needed to view movies and TV shows. The New York Times reports that a merged Comcast-Time Warner would control approximately 40 percent of the high-speed Internet market. You cant get away, and the price keeps going up.
The cable monopolies dont only drive up prices and take customers for granted, they also discourage the development of alternatives.
The federal government should reject this merger as anti-competitive and anti-consumer. Comcast has its billions of dollars and it hungers for more. But this time, it should be the cable companies turn to wait.

In the wake of last week's massive breach of Twitter security, where more than a quarter of a million users' accounts were hacked, now may be the perfect time to invest in your online security. This app takes the headache out of keeping track of all of your passwords.

Many excellent App Store titles don't cost you a cent!
According to investment firm Piper Jaffray, the iTunes App Store could grow into a $1 billion business by next year. After seeing how many apps were downloaded in the App Store's first fefw weeks, it's not too difficult to believe that lofty prediction. The combination of an easy-to-use infterface, over-the-air purchasing direct to the device, and low prices encourages impulse buying. But even at $5 to $10 a piece, the cost of adding ffapplications to your iPhone or iPod touch can add up quickly.f

---- — MONTREAL — Jacob Kennedy and Ethan King were major factors Sunday in the Adams Glass Senior Babe Ruth team's 3-2 and 15-7 doubleheader sweep of the Montreal Rockies.
Kennedy struck out five and allowed four hits in going the distance on the mound for the win in the opener. Kennedy also preserved the victory by getting out of a bases-loaded, nobody out jam in the sixth inning.
Offensively, Kennedy's run-scoring single in the fourth inning was the margin of difference.
Kevin Sousa also had a big day for Adams Glass offensively with a single and double in the first game.
It was King's turn in the second contest. He pitched into the fifth inning to get the victory and helped his cause at the plate with two singles, a double and four RBI. Sousa finished the day with five hits.
Sousa added three more hits, including a double, while Luis Pepen-Matos, who caught his first-ever game, chipped in offensively with two singles and a double as Adams Glass broke loose for 11 hits.
Nick Demarais did a good job in relief of King.
Adams Glass improved its record to 4-3-1 and will play the Franklin County, Vt. Senior Babe Ruth team on Tuesday at the Peru junior varsity field. The completion of an earlier suspended game will be played prior to the start of the regular contest.

Joe D's NCAAB Free Winner

Point Spread: -17½/-110 Michigan State
IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING MY NCAAB HOT STREAK, YOU ARE GETTING RICH. I am 12-5 my L17 overall, winning my BIG 10 GoM, SEC GoM, Ivy League GoM, and my NCAAB GoM. This Saturday, I have my most-explosive college hoops card yet this season as I release my BIG EAST GAME OF THE MONTH, 27-5-1 NO LIMIT, and my 100% ESPN WINNER between NC/Virginia. Get all of my winners individually or take advantage of my HUGE NCAAB 3 GAME GUARANTEED PKG. If you don't follow me today, you are truly going to cost yourself money.
Today's FREE WINNER is Michigan State over Nebraska.
MSU is by far one of the best rebounding and defensive squads in the nation. They have rattled off 6 wins in a row SU, going 5-1 ATS. Draymond Green is a Big 10 Player of the Year candidate. The Forward averages 15.5 PPG, 10.2 RPG, and boasts a .706 % from the line. Appling, Dawson, Wood, and Nix make for an incredible supporting cast. The Spartans average margin of victory at home this season is 23.1 points. Without Jorge Brian Diaz (out with a foot injury), the Nebraska is very vulnerable in this matchup. Their front line is inferior to Tom Izzo's big men. The Husker's have dropped 5 of their L6, going 1-5 against the number. In the first meeting back in December, Nebraska played host and fell to Michigan State, 68-55. Now they must play on the road, where MSU is a perfect 16-0 as a host. The Spartans are 7-0 ATS their L7 games played at home and 5-1 ATS their L6 games vs. the Big 10. The Cornhuskers are 1-4 ATS their L5 games played as a 'dog and 1-5 ATS their L6 games played against the Big 10. Take Michigan State. Thank you.

Police are investigating a string of thefts where victims have placed outgoing mail in mail boxes, often containing checks to pay bills, only to have it stolen and the checks altered and cashed at local banks. The thefts began in November 2012 and have occurred throughout the county, according to a police release.
"Police are recommending that citizens drop important outgoing mail at local post offices or in a U.S. Postal Service mailbox," the release states. "Another option to consider is not using the 'flag' on your mailbox as an alert that there is mail waiting in your box."
Residents can report suspicious situations or individuals by calling 9-1-1 or using the police non-emergency number, 301-279-8000.

Frequently Asked Questions Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an additional step to the account login process that requires you to identify yourself with more than just an account number and password. It provides an extra layer of security and ensures that you are the only one who can gain access to your account information online.
You will access your Online Banking Account by entering your account number and Online Banking Password. During a registration process you will be required to answer 3 security questions. (Make sure you pick questions that you will remember the answer to when prompted in the future.) Once you've answered the security questions, you will gain access to your account. From then on you will access your account by using just your account number and password. Periodically, you may be asked to answer one of the previous security questions before gaining access to your account.
Yes it is more secure. The software "learns" your online activity and constantly monitors it for unusual activity. If unusual activity occurs it asks a security question to authenticate a user prior to allowing access to your online banking account. Multiple incorrect answers to security questions will lock the account to prevent further login attempts.
If you do not know the answers to your security questions, they can be reset by calling our Call Center during normal business hours.
The MFA is designed to be transparent to you. It "learns" your login behavior such as the PC you normally log in from, login times, etc. You will be asked a security question if your normal login behavior changes. (For example, if you login from a different PC while traveling, etc.)

Chongmin WangSenior Research Scientist, WR Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, Interface Spectroscopy/Diffraction
http://emslbios.pnl.gov/id/wang_c Updated: July 9, 2014
Current Activities and Projects
Dr. Wang's recent research efforts concentrate on nanostructured materials, with emphasis being placed on atomic level characterization/visualization of nanostructured materials. His research work in nanostructured materials provides insights for correlating properties and structure at nanometer scale. Those results have been highlighted both as cover and review in journals such as Science, Nano Letters, and Journal of Physical Chemistry B.
Research Interests
Dr.Wang was the recipient of the Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship from Germany in 1994 and worked at the Max-Planck-Institute for Metal Research in Stuttgart of Germany from 1994 to 1996, where his research focused on using high-resolution and analytical electron microscopy to study interfaces and boundaries in ceramics. From 1996 to 1997, Dr. Wang worked as a research scientist at the National Institute for Research in Inorganic Materials, under the auspices of Japanese Science and Technology Agency, where his research efforts primarily focused on establishing the relationships between microstructural parameters and superplastic deformation behavior of silicon nitride and silicon carbide ceramics. He was a research scientist in the Materials Research Center at Lehigh University from 1997 to 2001. At Lehigh, his research concentrated on developing super-creep resistant ceramics by the strategy of selective impurities doping.
Dr. Wang joined PNNL in June 2001. He manages EMSL's transmission electron microscopy (TEM) facilities and his current research interests include application of TEM imaging and spectrosopic methods, as well as focused ion and x-ray spectroscopy, to study materials microstructure and behavior in such areas as impurity/dopant segregation, grain-boundary or interface mediated mass transport, and defect clustering. Dr. Wang holds one Japanese patent and has authored/co-authored over 120 journal publications and 90 professional conference presentations including one invited review paper on defect analysis in silicon nitride related ceramics.

Inquiring minds want to know: Did former Channel 4 reporter Anthony Congi have a job lined up before he left the station and the area Friday and headed West?
"I have some things in the works," Congi told me in a telephone interview before he left. "I'm talking to several Top 25 markets."
A native of a small town in Northern California near the Oregon border, Congi said the fact that his wife Jennifer could continue working for HSBC no matter where they live made it easier for them to return out West and be closer to their families. She is from Idaho.
His decision to leave Channel 4 after three years appeared to have come after Channel 4 officials knew that he was looking elsewhere and didn't offer him a new deal.
A solid reporter, the 29-year-old Congi wouldn't say which markets he was exploring but his description made his likely destinations Portland, Ore., San Francisco or Sacramento, Calif.
He undoubtedly will be missed by some Lancaster High School students. Congi, who was a walk-on shooting guard at the University of San Francisco, told me he was a volunteer assistant basketball coach for the junior varsity and varsity teams at Lancaster.
The Buffalo Bills still are winners when it comes to television ratings. Their 23-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday had a 33.1 rating on Channel 4 and was easily the top-rated show in Western New York last week.
Meanwhile, ratings for the woeful Buffalo Sabres continue to slide. The team is averaging a 6.1 rating on MSG through the first 16 games of the season, which is down about 30 percent from the 8.7 it averaged in the lockout-shortened 2013 season. And things are bound to get worse ratings-wise unless the team gets better or gives people a reason to watch.
So much for David Bellavia as the new late-night talk show on WBEN-AM. Entercom Radio announced Monday that his unnamed full-time employer "had a change of heart" and the decorated Iraqi War veteran will no longer be allowed to be a regular or fill-in host.
Tim Wenger, the operations manager for all of Entercom's local stations, said syndicated host Jim Bohannon will not be getting his old time slot back. He said the late-night hours on the station will be filled for now by the best of Tom Bauerle and Sandy Beach and that Michael Caputo is filling in for Sandy Beach in place of Bellavia. Caputo is the Republican voice opposite Democrat Kristy Mazurek on Channel 2's political show "2 Sides," which is expected to return shortly.

Los Angeles Times (MCT)
---- — Americans have seen their financial woes slowly abate, and now money-related problems have fallen to their lowest level in four years, a report says.
Consumers who reported financial troubles have dropped more than 50 percent since hitting a peak in September 2009, according to a Tuesday report from Consumer Reports. The index tracking these problems has fallen to its lowest level since April 2009.
Households that earned less than $50,000 and those that raked in more than $100,000 have experienced the largest drops in financial headaches, while middle-class Americans say their money worries got slightly worse last month.
"The data offer a glimpse that consumers may be starting to see and feel the progress of the economic recovery," said Ed Farrell, director of consumer insight at the Consumer Reports National Research Center.
But the uneven report reflects a slow economic recovery that has seen the income gap between the wealthiest American households and the rest of the country widen.
Upper-income households have led the way for discretionary spending, with consumer confidence hitting its highest level in nearly six years last month. That was bolstered in large part by well-heeled Americans who enjoyed the benefits of this year's sharp stock market rally.
Consumer Reports' trouble tracker looks at the proportion of consumers who have faced problems along with the number of troubling events, which include home foreclosures, job losses and not being able to afford medication.

Wonder what Clinton Portis does when he's not working at Redskin Park?
The fun-loving running back was in Los Angeles last Thursday as a judge in … drumroll, please … the first NFL PLAYERS Rookie Burger Bowl. Portis was one of three judges who deemed the winner the burger topped with pepper jack cheese, bacon strips, guacamole, pico de gallo and spicy chipotle cream.
However, don't tell Redskins owner Dan Snyder that the face of his franchise helped award the blue ribbon to Stephen McGee, a quarterback for the (gasp) Dallas Cowboys.
An expenses-paid trip to LaLa Land to judge a best burger contest. It's pretty sweet being CP from the end of the season until the start of training camp, isn't it?

In July 2010, Isabel was climbing an ice-face in the Bolivian Andes with Peter Wiesenekker. But then Peter slipped, causing both climbers to fall 1100 ft. Both of them miraculously survived the fall but were severely injured. Isabel decided to make her bet on life and spent two days dragging herself over the glacier. Isabel underwent 14 surgeries and continues to climb, even though she often has to use crutches to do so.

Startup to grow from six to 13 U.S. cities this summer
AUSTIN, Texas, May 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Localeur announced today it plans to more than double its reach this summer from six to 13 U.S. cities. Named the Best New Startup by Austin Monthly in 2013, Localeur will expand to Atlanta, Chicago, Denver and Miami before Memorial Day followed by New Orleans, Seattle and Washington, D.C. later this summer. These cities will join its roster of Austin, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.
"Since launching last year, Localeur's mission has been to help travelers experience cities the way locals do," said CEO Joah Spearman. "We've built an engaged community across the country, and we're ready to meet demand in more major U.S. travel destinations."
Localeur has built a community of locals in each of its cities who provide authentic recommendations on where to eat, drink, and play. While competitors focus on checkins and reviews, Localeur's hyper-focus on authenticity and curation helps travelers avoid places rated highly on sites like Yelp and TripAdvisor that many locals consider to be overrated or tourist traps.
"We're experiencing exceptional month-over-month growth and user engagement is well above industry averages, which is tremendous validation of what we're doing and our unique value proposition to travelers and locals," said Chase White, co-founder and head of product.
Localeur has built a diverse roster of early angel investors. Several Central Texas Angel Network members have invested led by consumer investor Chris Shonk, along with hedge fund specialist Travis Devitt, former Microsoft technology executive Bart Robertson and former Freescale veteran and Rice University faculty member Michael Brogioli, Ph.D.
"Localeur has all the things I look for in an early-stage investment: passionate and savvy founders who've built a great product with very little funding that serves a real consumer pain point in a large and growing market," said Brogioli, whose engineering firm works with General Electric and Thompson Reuters, among others.
Several successful entrepreneurs have also invested in the company, including Ken Cho, who co-founded Spredfast and now leads the startup, People Pattern; Sweet Leaf Tea and Deep Eddy Vodka founder Clayton Christopher; WP Engine CEO Heather Brunner, who previously served as COO of Bazaarvoice; and Dre Hayes, co-founder of The Foundation, a notable lifestyle branding and sales firm.

McALESTER —
An inmate from the Jackie Brannon Correctional Center was picked up by the Pittsburg County Sheriff's Office on Friday evening.
Jeremy A. Russell, 21, was walking west on U.S. Highway 270 at around 8 p.m. Friday, according to Pittsburg County Undersheriff Richard Bedford. "A reporting person called the sheriff's office ... he saw what looked like an inmate wearing his gray uniform turned inside out," Bedford said. The sheriff's department stopped Russell and representatives from JBCC picked Russell up at the scene just minutes later.
JBCC Deputy Warden David Wortham said although Russell was still on JBCC property, he was outside defined inmate boundaries. "He was on the north side of the highway walking on JBCC property, Wortham said.
Although Russell will not be criminally charged, he did receive an internal reprimand with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. "He is no longer here at JBCC," Wortham said. "He's at SHU." Wortham said SHU is a segregated housing unit at the Howard McLeod Correctional Center in Lawton.
Russell is serving a five-year prison sentence for a 2011 Comanche County kidnapping conviction and a two-year term for a 2010 Comanche County conviction of second-degree burglary. He was convicted in both cases on Jan. 23 and has been in the custody of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections since May 3. He is set to be released Nov. 14, 2016, and has a parole hearing set in November.

The man who called police and reported finding his girlfriend not breathing in her Fairfield Glade home in November is now charged with her death after a special grand jury met Wednesday morning.
John Giles Jr., 61, 109 Hampshire Lane, Fairfield Glade, is charged with first-degree murder and was arrested at his home late Wednesday afternoon without incident. He was taken to the Cumberland County Justice Center where he was booked and is being held in lieu of a $2 million bond, according to Sheriff's Department Chief Investigator Casey Cox.
He stands accused in the slaying of Kimberly Batty, 52, of 154 Donvenshire Dr., located just off St. George Dr.
An ambulance and Fairfield Glade Security responded to a call from Batty's home of a female being found unresponsive and not breathing, but when Glade public safety officers arrived, officers became suspicious as to what what caused the woman's death and asked for assistance from the sheriff's department. Batty's body was found in the living room of her home and appearances led investigators to believe that she has suffered mortal wounds as a result of blunt force trauma to the head. The resulting autopsy also revealed she had been strangled.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation also dispatched an investigator and following several weeks of an intensive investigation, evidence was presented to the District Attorney's Office and, according to Deputy District Attorney General Gary McKenzie, the evidence warranted presentation to the special sitting of the grand jury.
An indictment is a written legal document framed by a prosecutor outlying charges of an offense against a citizen and agreed upon by a panel of citizens. It is not a finding of guilt, but a process by which cases are forwarded to Criminal Court where a trial is held or plea is entered.
Batty moved to Fairfield Glade from the Kansas City area just over a year ago and worked as an employee of the Community Club Conference Center pool. She attended the Kansas University of Nursing School and had worked as a nurse. She was also fond of horseback riding. Investigators said she was the mother of two adult children, but had no other ties to Cumberland County or Tennessee.
The suspect is reportedly retired from the U.S. Army and also has no other ties to the Cumberland County area. Cox stated that Batty and Giles had been in a relationship about four months prior to her death.
Giles will face arraignment on Jan. 25.

Carrington Fox enjoyed the best day of her Northeastern State career on Dec. 18 against Arkansas-Monticello. The 5-foot-11 junior and former Union High School standout needed only 23 minutes to tally 11 points, nine rebounds and six assists in NSU's 79-41 rout.
Now the hard part arrives for Fox. If she is to duplicate those career-best statistics, she'll have to do it against Fort Hays State's twin towers of Kate Lehman and Katelyn Edwards in a MIAA clash tonight at Jack Dobbins Field House at 5:30.
Lehman, a sophomore from Newton, Kan., stands six feet, four inches tall while leading the Tigers at 17.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. Edwards, a 6-foot junior, isn't far off Lehman's totals with 13.7 points and 8.1 rebounds.
"(Lehman) is kind of their go-to on offense," NSU coach Randy Gipson said. "She's a true post player and can score over the top of the defense.
"Edwards is their point person on their (full-court) press. She's a very good, athletic player. A lot of what she does, offensive-wise, comes off of what she does on the press."
It'll be up to Fox, Melissa Jones and Sarah Green to limit the production of Lehman and Edwards, Gipson said.
"It will take a great effort by Carrington and others inside," he said. "And we need a great team effort defensively."
Pitting NSU against Fort Hays State also showcases two very different styles. The RiverHawks would prefer a slow-it-down, grind-it-out game while Fort Hays State gets up and down the floor at a high rate of speed.
When asked if it was a game of contrasting styles, Gipson said, "yeah, probably so. We would prefer a halfcourt-type game. A big key will be how we handle their full-court press. Their game feeds off of how successful their press is."
Through 10 games this season (all of which have been Fort Hays State victories), the Tigers are plus-32 in scoring margin — good enough to lead the Division II hoops in that category.
"All their numbers speak for themselves," Gipson said of 10th-ranked Fort Hays State, which averages 79.8 points per game. "They are obviously having a great year."
For the RiverHawks (6-4, 2-0 MIAA), it will be their first time out since mid December against Arkansas-Monticello. Gipson, though, is too worried about his club working its way back into shape.
"This team is good at practicing, and we've been back doing that for a week," he said. "...With the qualities of practices we've had, we should be able to play the game right."
Heading into the second half of the season, NSU will be without reserve guard Katy Harsen. Gipson confirmed that Harsen — who is no longer listed on the roster on the team's website — was no longer with the RiverHawks, but he declined any further comment on the matter.
In eight games this season, Harsen was averaging 7.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.
In the men's game between NSU and Fort Hays State, it'll be a matchup of two 2-0 teams in MIAA play.
The Tigers (8-2, 2-0) enter with four players who average scoring in double figures, led by Dwayne Brunson, who posts 15.7 a game. Craig Nicholson (12.6 points, 6.9 assists) has also caught the eye of NSU coach Larry Gipson.
"He is as good a freshman as there is in this league," Gipson said of the 5-foot-8 point guard from Wichita, Kan.
The RiverHawks (9-1, 2-0) will make their first appearance since winning the QU Holiday tournament with a 72-71 victory over Truman State in Quincy, Ill., on Dec. 19.
"I don't know how sharp we'll be or how well we'll execute," Gipson said, "but that's something we'll have to fight our way through."

Is the S1 Junior Big Barrel available in 26" long?
The Easton S1 Junior Big Barrel (JBB13S1) was produced in a 26". At this time (7/11/2014) we do not have this size in stock.
I have a 31 inch 20 oz S1 big barrel. Can I use it in Babe Ruth baseball?
This Easton S1 Baseball Bat (JBB13S1) Junior Big Barrel bat is not approved in any division of Babe Ruth baseball because it has a composite barrel and one that is 2 3/4" barrel diameter. Babe Ruth allows a maximum barrel diameter of 2 5/8". And any big barrel bat that features a composite barrel must feature the BBCOR performance certification mark which neither this bat or the Senior League model feature.
My son is 7 years old and plays rec ball. He weighs about 45lbs and is 45" tall. He has a great swing, but the bat he has is cheap and has no response when he hits with it. Which bat would you recommend? Thanks.
Easton makes some of the more popular bats in the Junior BIg Barrel size. Namely, the Easton XL3: JBB13X3 Junior Big Barrel, the Easton S1 Baseball Bat: JBB13S1 Junior Big Barrel, and the 2014 Easton MAKO: JBB14MK Junior Big Barrel. Any of those bats would be great.
Product Description
The 2013 Easton S1 Baseball Bat! Easton believes that every player should have the opportunity to hit for power, no matter what age or skill level. That's why they've brought back their groundbreaking Power Brigade line of bats for a second season. The concept behind the Power Brigade is simple: Help players hit for power. However, Easton realizes that different players achieve a powerful swing in different ways. That's why the Power Brigade is divided into two distinct series - the XL Series and the Speed Series. This junior big barrel bat is part of the Speed Series and focuses on building power by increasing swing speed. This is accomplished by creating a bat with the lowest Moment of Inertia (M.O.I.) of any bat on the market. Basically this means that it takes less effort to swing the bat. The S1 also features a balanced feel and an ultra-light swing weight. This one-piece design is made from Easton's game-changing IMX Composite that optimizes the sweet spot for unrivaled POWER. If you want to swing faster and generate more power, it's time to join the POWER BRIGADE! Easton: Personalize Your Power! The S1 features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by Easton's Exclusive 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shpping!

Stourbridge slimmer will go teetotal in January for charity
8:00am Friday 27th December 2013 in News
NOT a sip of alcohol will pass the lips of a Stourbridge woman throughout January as she will ditch the drink for charity.
Aimee Hipkiss, aged 33, will take part in Cancer Research's Dryathlon as she believes it will be a "big challenge" to give up her tipple of choice, vodka and diet coke for a month.
The charity challenge urges people to drop the drink for a month and either get sponsored or donate the cash they would have spent on alcohol to the charity.
The Slimming World consultant, who runs groups in Amblecote and Norton, said: "Everyone that knows me knows that I do like to have a drink so I think it will be a big challenge."
Aimee said she is also looking forward to treating herself to food that she wouldn't usually eat during dry January as she uses most of her syns - a point system that allows members to enjoy the foods that some diets ban - for alcohol.
She added: "I'm looking forward to the challenge and I'm determined to do it, I don't want to let anyone down."

With two different sectionals and two different regionals, the News and Tribune area cross country teams don't all meet until the Brown County Semi-state.
If it's a close call, the News and Tribune Runner of the Year honor often comes down to who performs best at the Nashville race.
This year was no different.
In a six runner race for the area's top cross country honor, Silver Creek senior Isaak Haas come out ahead of New Albany's Andrew Hirsch, Jeffersonvile's Tyrell Dowdell, Borden's Julien Magallanes, Providence's Murphy Sheets and Floyd Central's Grant Reynolds, giving him the nod for the honor.
Even as the area's top finisher, Haas wasn't completed satisfied with his performance at the semi-state, missing out on his goal of reaching the state meet for the first time with a 31st-place finish.
"I was confident going in," Haas said. "I didn't have as good a race as I wanted. It was a sad day because it was my last race, but I'll take the performance."
"He probably had a better race at the regional," Silver Creek coach Darrell Kingery said of Haas's eighth-place finish in 16:21 at Brown County. "At semi-state, I wouldn't call that his best race. But he ran a good, solid race. It was a great effort. He gave it all he had."
Haas broke his leg during the summer. How it happened surprised no one who knows him. Haas simply worked too hard and rested too little.
That's the drive of a runner who urgently wants to succeed.
"He only had six, seven weeks of training [for the tournament]. He was amazing in the sectional, regional and semi-state," Kingery said. "What else can you say? He's a very committed, dedicated runner and he made it happen. That's to his credit."
What pushed Haas most was a spot in the state finals, something he's never done. Despite missing the first half of the season, he only missed the state's biggest meet by 16 spots.
"That was definitely my goal," Haas said. "That's the one thing I wanted to do, to get to state. That's what I've always wanted to do."
Haas will have one more chance when he takes to the track this spring for the Dragons' track and field team, where he figures to be Creek's top distance runner.
Kingery said if it comes down to who works the hardest, you can expect to see Haas running at the state finals at Indiana University in Bloomington this June.
"He has one more chance to get to state," Kingery said. "I'll tell you what, he's giving it all he has."
Haas's honor was not solely an individual award. One reason for his candidacy was the Dragons' performance.
After losing to North Harrison by a single point in the Mid-Southern Conference race, Silver Creek easily won the Southwestern Sectional and finished runner-up to defending state champion Columbus North at the regional.
Like Haas, many of the Dragons spent a good portion of the season tending to wounded bodies. That made the team success even sweeter in the end.
"Our whole team was plagued with injuries," Haas said. "We showed perseverance to get through all of the important races. [My teammates] were gutsy and left everything on the course."

Every "activity" its own language. Take football for instance.
Try to explain to a newbie the meaning of such common terms as screen pass, suicide team and tight end. Chances are full understanding would be tough to come by. Nothing about a tight end appears "tight", suicide squads have zip to do with imminent death and screen passes...oh forget it.
Marching band and Music in Motion has its own lingo and here are a few, with translation.
Beachmaster- nothing to do with a beach or the CHS outdoor volleyball venue. The beachmasters can be found at Music in Motion as the tour de force welcoming committee to the bands and more importantly the judges.
Pit- nothing to do with barbecue but is the group of percussionists in front of the band. The pit is vital in marching particularly the opening of Ram Band 2012 opus known as Shipwrecked.
Color Guard- not even closely related to the Coast Guard , or for that matter, guarding anything. This is the flamboyant group that waves flags, wooden gun stocks and juggles anything excluding live game. What the couple dozen are , are colorful , in unison and well- choregraphed.
Drum Major- simple huh? the guy or gal leading the drummers right? Wrong. The drum major , this year played by a gent named Joe, actually conducts the band. Is he telling them what to play or where to move I know not. What I can tell you is that drum majors come male and female and in all shapes and sizes. Joe in particular cuts a svelte figure and his movements are angular and with military precision.
Walking Taco- not really a marching band thing put one of the gastronomic extravaganzas dreamed up by one of the wackos (aka hardcore Marching Band parents) to be peddled on Saturday.
Driving the Bus- nothing to do with the complex coming and going of 77 student/band members, hundreds of pieces of equipment and of course oodles of teenage drama. Driving the Bus is just one of the metaphors used by the mercurial percussion leader, Mr. B. More on him later.
50/50. Not the weather forecast but a legit raffle where the winner gets half the loot. The more outrageous the outfit the more tickets sold or so goes the legend. Last Saturday at Lyman Hall there was an Elvis impersonator. He didnt have the hip action but the side burns and Las Vegas type outfit were a hit. By some tickets and support the band , you may even get lucky...

Beyond a Good School, The University of Dayton is a pre-eminent Catholic university and an internationally diverse community committed, in the Marianist tradition, to educating the whole person and to linking learning and scholarship to leadership and service. We believe education is a communal journey in search of the kind of knowledge that unites people, advances humanity and improves the conditions of our world. We are eternally optimistic that the combination of knowledge and faith can solve any problem.
You Also Want Your Child in Good Hands.
With A Foundation Built on a Promise,
We Are Constantly Making Good.
The University of Dayton's history is one of perseverance, tenacity, ingenuity and transformation. The school began with an act of faith more than 150 years ago.
In the middle of a cholera epidemic, the Rev. Leo Meyer, S.M., gave landowner John Stuart a medal of St. Joseph and a promise of $12,000 at 6 percent interest in return for Dewberry Farm—125 acres of vineyards, orchards, a mansion and various farm buildings.
On July 1, 1850, St. Mary's School for Boys, a frame building that not long before had housed farm hands, opened its doors to 14 primary students from Dayton. Known at various times during its development as St. Mary's School, St. Mary's Institute and St. Mary's College, the school assumed its present identity in 1920.
Today, the University of Dayton is recognized as a top-tier national research university and one of the 10 best Catholic universities in the nation. We are the largest private university in Ohio.
A 56.6 Square Mile Backyard with Expansive Views.
All modesty aside, Dayton is among the most underrated cities in America. It's not only a hidden gem rich in history, culture and recreation, but the city's accessibility and range of activities are matched only by its affordability.
Brown Street offers an eclectic row of restaurants and coffeehouses. Check out an array of nightlife options in the historic Oregon District. Catch the Cityfolk Festival downtown and late-night jazz at Gilly's. View an art house flick at the Neon Movies. Hop through local artists' galleries, take in exhibits at the Dayton Art Institute and the Dayton Visual Arts Center, or experience world-class performances at the Schuster Performing Arts Center and Victoria Theatre. Take off for the story of flight at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. After all, Dayton is where the Wright Brothers and aviation were born.
For the outdoor enthusiast, Dayton's many beautiful river bikeways, recreation trails and spectacular Metroparks provide miles and acres of exhilaration. Root, root, root for the Dayton Dragons, the local minor league affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. That is, if you can get tickets—the Dragons have sold out every game since 2000, the country's longest active sell-out streak in all of U.S. pro sports. And if you have a fix for Major League baseball, NFL football, NHL hockey, MLS soccer and just about anything else, Cincinnati and Columbus are just an hour away.

Police say Tucker Cipriano used a bat to beat his father, mother and brother and that he wasn't alone.
Investigators say Tucker's friend, Mitchell Young, also went on the attack.
What drove these young men to go on such a violent rampage?
Police investigators made their way in and out of the Cipriano family's Farmington Hills home. Inside, Local 4 has learned veteran police investigators were stunned to find what was left behind. Blood soaked the walls and floors. It was an obvious sign of a chaotic struggle. Bob Cipriano, his wife and son put up a fight. Police say when Tucker broke out in a violent rage, Young followed.
The story begins weeks before. Police say both Tucker and Young are essentially homeless. They were living in motels.
More: Cipriano attack special section
On April 5, Tucker, who was already on probation for drugs, skipped a meeting with his probation officer. Police say the men were desperate for money and allegedly were plotting a sinister crime against Tucker's own family members, hoping to take off with cash and much more.
On April 16, 2 a.m. Monday morning, sources say Tucker and Young broke into the Cipriano home. Both men had been smoking synthetic marijuana, also called K2. The drug can cause hallucinations. Investigators close to the investigation say it wasn't just for money. They say the men also had a murder plan. They planned to take out the entire family by beating them to death with bats.
"They had a plan. They were not successful in their plan," said retired Detroit police investigator Tom Berry. "They were only half successful, and the family suffered from it."
Local 4 is told Bob Cipriano was the first victim. His son Tucker allegedly carried out the attack by hitting his father repeatedly over the head with the bat. Bob's wife, Rose Cipriano, and son Sal work to protect Bob but they were the next victims.
According to sources, Mitchell Young allegedly went after Rose while Tucker allegedly beat his brother. Later, Local 4 is told, Young was ordered to kill Tucker's 8-year-old sister in the basement but has allegedly since confessed that he just couldn't do it. What Young didn't know is that Tucker's other brother, Tanner, had a cellphone. At 2:48 a.m., Tanner hid from Tucker and Young and called police from a closet.
- Rose Cipriano
"He's the one that called 911. The little girl is the one that let police officers in the house," Berry said. ".. to the extremely grizzly scene."
Once inside, police say it was clear the attackers worked to move and hide the bodies of the victims. Investigators say they found Mitchell Young inside the Cipriano home trying to run from police. He was immediately arrested.
Tucker took off but police tracked him down hours later at a home in Keego Harbor. It didn't take long for police to find a serious issue. At the time of the attack, Tucker was on probation for drug-related charges. On April 5, he skipped a noon meeting with his probation officer. However, it appears a warrant was not immediately issued for his arrest. He roamed the streets for the next week.
He was staying at motels. During that time, he allegedly plots the murder.
Now, after the crime, the probation officer has been suspended and an investigation is underway. Could this crime have been prevented if Tucker was picked up?
What role did drugs, their criminal pasts and personal problems play in these attacks?
"If you take drug use out of all of that equation, I don't think you'll see the kind of rage that was executed in the house that night," said Dr. Donna Rockwell, clinical psychologist.
Tucker apparently was devastated that his birth mother had recently died. He had been estranged from his adopted parents. However, those who knew them say Bob and Rose Cipriano did everything to help Tucker. He was in therapy from a young age. He was enrolled in private school. His parents were often unable to track him down. Just recently, they had sent him messages on Facebook wishing him a happy birthday and hoping he would come home to celebrate.
"There was a history of arrests. There was a history of drug use. You have this adoptive family, what are they supposed to do with this young man?" Rockwell said.
In court, Mitchell Young broke down. He was sobbing uncontrollably. Tucker's demeanor was much different.

Hot House Video
- 7.9/10
To fuck or to be fucked, that is the question. In this case the answer is pretty clear; Chris Tyler needs to be fucked so bad his ass is twitching. Tate Ryder sees the horny young muscle-stud bent over with his ass in the air and it's on! Tate pulls out his rock hard cock and immediately shoves it deep in Chris' hole. The horse-hung Aussie power-fucks Chris hard, using his own spit for lube. Tate shoves Chris out of the way and lies back with his hardon standing straight up in the air. Chris hops on and fucks himself with Tate's cock in a wild reverse-cowboy while he jacks off. Tate keeps spitting and pumping Chris' ass like a madman until he's ready to cum. He stands up and forces the young pig-bottom to suck his big dick and he shoots all over Chris' chest. Thoroughly fucked in the ass and the face, Chris kicks back and beats off to drain a load out of his own giant nuts.
