FIRST Robotics Competition in Milwaukee showcases local high school team
Brookfield High School FIRST Robotics Program team, aided by ABB New Berlin, earned the coveted Industrial Design Award in the 2011 FIRST competition.
Screaming fans, loud music, excited high school students, professional mentors, and precision robots all merged at the U.S. Cellular arena March 10 – 12, 2011, Milwaukee, WI. This year's competition challenge - to complete a single task: design a robot to gather inflated rings and place them on pegs at various heights, ranging up to nine feet, and, then, raise the robot itself to 11 feet - a foot higher than a basketball hoop. Easy? No!
For the Brookfield East high school team, the B'Easts, Brookfield, Wisconsin, co-sponsored by the ABB New Berlin campus, the season began in October, with students training on various shop tools and exploring last year's robot. In January, the annual challenge was released and teams had until the end of February to design and build their robots.
The high school is one of 40 Wisconsin Regional teams. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded by Dean Kaman, inventor of the Segway, to encourage engineering and mechatronics among children and young adults. ABB's sponsorship began in 2006, in concert with the support ABB Robotics provides to local teams on which employees work as mentors.
Build from scratch
This year's team was made up of: over 30 high school freshman-through-seniors; seven professional mentors, ranging from engineers to software designers; a faculty sponsor; and two team captains.
Parallel to engineering business
The program closely parallels a real-life engineering business, notes Rick Hepperla, who is leading the integration of ABB and Baldor. "All teams across the country meet at the same date and time to receive and read the specification. They are given parameters -- weights and sizes of equipment, what tasks the equipment needs to achieve to score points. And, then, the team has to decide what they want to excel at – what the trade-offs are to score points. And, all teams are on the same timeline – six weeks – in which to create their robot, and turn it in for testing."
"The students are required to brainstorm, design, fabricate, program and test the robot," said Tim Obermann, Electrical Engineer for ABB Medium Voltage Drives, and a first-time mentor. "The mentors and captains encourage critical thinking and explore the choices the students have made."
From conception to final assembly, 1000 hours were put into this year's design. Students met after school and on weekends to create the final robot. "It becomes a family," said Obermann. "Students come when they can, work together, and create something that they can take pride in."
The competition also reflects the way business partners work in concert, according to Hepperla. This year's regional competition, held near downtown Milwaukee, included over 50 teams competing for the coveted grand prize.
Around a common field, teams are formed in alliances of three each, and compete in a series of heats; each team in the alliance keeps the score the alliance earned. In between these rounds of 2-minute matches, teams rush around in the "pits" to troubleshoot their robots.
Following the heats, the top eight teams compete over a day-and-half, double elimination, to establish the top team. This part of the competition includes teams inviting each other in a "random alliance," focused on combining the best strengths of two teams – for example, one very strong offensively and, the second, defensively.
The general public was allowed to watch the competition and wander in the "pits" to see the robots up close. Although winning was on every team's mind, a spirit of cooperation was encouraged. "Teams want to compete when competitors are at their best," explained Obermann. "Many teams lent each other spare parts and services."
Industrial design award
After days of intensive matches, the B'Easts went undefeated through the qualifying rounds and took third place overall. In addition, the team received the Industrial Design Award, which celebrates form and function in an efficiently designed machine that effectively achieves the game challenge. It is given to the team that best presents and understands the design of their robot. "In some ways, this was the best award to get," stated Obermann. "It shows that we, as mentors, did our job. The students not only completed the task very successfully, but learned a great deal, too.
"I challenge other professionals in the science and technology fields to volunteer in this program," encourages Obermann. "These kids genuinely are interested in what we do; what a great opportunity to invest in the future!" Team mentors are needed for 3-4 hours each week, from January to March, to help focus the students' energy and provide guidance. There are many teams in the Milwaukee area to get involved in.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Updated Dec. 20 at 9:25 a.m
The following is from the City of Carlsbad Police Department emailed to Patch on 12/20/12:
Upon investigation, the City of Carlsbad Police Department found no evidence of an actual threat to the school. The police department did the following:
1. Carlsbad police became aware of the rumors on December 17 at 9:22 a.m.
2. We took the rumors very seriously, met with the school administration and evaluated the situation.
3. We interview numerous students, the student in question and the student's parent.
4. We found no evidence of a threat to the school.
5. We are continually monitoring the situation and will take whatever action is necessary to ensure the safety of the school.
The following is a school messenger message from the Superintendent December 19th
Good Morning Carlsbad Unified Parents. This is Superintendent Suzette Lovely providing you an updated report about recent questions and concerns that have arisen in the aftermath of the CT school shooting.
Last Friday, our world was shattered as we learned of the unthinkable events that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School. As we continue to watch these events unfold in the media, our worries about the safety of our own children have continued to mount.
Rumors, social media chatter, and threats (both real and perceived) all contribute to these growing worries. One recent threat made by a student at Carlsbad High School has been particularly unsettling to us all. This threat was isolated to the high school and has been fully investigated with the assistance of law enforcement and mental health professionals. We have been assured by the Carlsbad Police Department that the student who made the threat has neither the intention nor means to act upon it. The student is not in attendance at school this week.
As your Superintendent, I want to reassure our parents that schools, particularly our schools in Carlsbad, remain some of the safest places in America. Your children's teachers, principals and support staff are trained to react quickly and calmly to even the remotest sign of trouble.
The Carlsbad Police Department continues to maintain a visible presence in and around our campuses, and in particular at Carlsbad High School. We have no reason to believe any of our schools or students are in harm's way. Therefore, all schools within CUSD will stay open for the remainder of the week, including Friday.
We will continue to keep families informed of any new or updated information through our District Webpage, twitter and Facebook.
I appreciate and applaud you as parents for the way you are helping your children process and move past the terrible events that happened in Connecticut.
Happy Holidays to all of you and may we find things to be joyful about in the ensuing Holiday Season.
The following was sent to CHS and CVA families on Dec. 18 at 10:30 a.m.
Dear Carlsbad High School and Carlsbad Village Academy Communities,
I am sending you this message to make our parents and surrounding communities aware that our administration, law enforcement and mental health professionals have been working together to respond to a threat that was made by a CHS student prior to Friday's Sandy Hook school shooting. Specifically, we have received reports the student told others he would cause harm on Friday, December 21st.
First, I want to reassure our CHS and CVA families that this student has not been on campus since last Friday. Second, we continue to remain in close contact with this students' family as well as the local authorities to determine the appropriate next steps, while ensuring our campus continues to remain a safe environment for students. Third, because of Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) laws, we are unable to disclose the identity of this student or release additional information about our investigation.
Our administration will continue to follow the Education Code and work with local authorities, school psychologists and mental health providers to address any additional threats that may surface in the aftermath of this tragedy. We appreciate the vigilance of our students and parents in reporting any suspicious statements or activities they may learn about. All threats or potential threats are taken seriously and investigated by the school administration.
In the wake of this recent threat, we have asked for and been granted a greater security presence from Carlsbad Police Department in the ensuing days to help everyone feel more secure. What occurred last Friday in Connecticut has affected communities across the nation.
Thank you for the reassurances you are provided to your children during these troubling times.
Dr. Steitz
The following is a statement from the Carlsbad Unified School District posted on the district website on Dec. 18:
On the morning of December 14, 2012, prior to the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, Carlsbad High School (CHS) in the Carlsbad Unified School District (CUSD) received a report that a student had threatened to bring a weapon to school on December 21, 2012 and cause harm.
CHS administration, law enforcement and mental health professionals are working together to respond to the threat. There is no reason to believe the student has the means to act on this threat. However, as a precautionary measure, the Carlsbad Police Department has increased its presence on campus to help students, staff, and the community feel a greater sense of security. Carlsbad High School Principal Matt Steitz, Ed.D. has notified CHS families of the threat and assured them that keeping the campus safe and secure is the school's number one priority.
Dr. Steitz explains, "We remain in close contact with this student's family and with local authorities to determine the appropriate next steps while ensuring our campus continues to remain a safe environment for students. Because of Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) laws, we are unable to disclose the identity of the student or release additional information about our investigation.
District Superintendent Suzette Lovely, Ed.D., states, "We appreciate the vigilance of our students and parents in reporting any suspicious statements or activities they may learn about. All threats or potential threats are taken seriously and investigated. The Sandy Hook incident has shaken communities across the nation. Thank you for the reassurances you are providing to your children during these troubling times."
All CUSD schools will continue to remain open this week. For more information on Carlsbad Unified School District, visit carlsbadusd.k12.ca.us, friend CUSD at facebook.com/carlsbadunifiedschooldistrict or follow Superintendent Lovely at twitter.com/suptlovely.

Tessa and Scott are out of Finlandia
Great chance for Bobrova and Soloviev to start the season off with a win. I personally think they are a better team than Capellini and Lanotte.

BS has shown ability to beat CL in some GPs and euros but not the most recent GPfs or worlds. Even chance at winning for both.
I thought they were in w/p's place at the gpf-so only the worlds part Is true
I can't believe I would ever say this, but Im rooting for B/S. I really like their new FD [And I never thought I'd say that either]. Viva Zhulin!
The costume is already dumped.
thank you so much fro the vid of Martiusheva and Rogonov FS.When they land their jumps they will be perfect
its a bit frustrating to root for headcases, but I still love them
still happy Martiusheva/Rogonov won Gold medal over
Berton/Hotarek who were a disaster http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJgItLSTVS8&feature=plcp
Thank you for posting the FS video.

Thanks to Love_Skate2011 for the link.
maybe like the Canadian Ladies, Russian men drought might have an end and a future ?
Kovtun just beat Han Yan
An 80 in TES is just very good and that was with not doing a 3 jump combo and not having another technical element that would be in a senior skate. But it is good that he is repeating JGP success of last season.
Han Yan wont go to JGPF ? :, I think there is still room
Nathan Chen will not be at JGPF also because he withdrew
Brown, Farris , Jin and Kovtun should be at GPF
then there is Ryuju Hino, 2nd and 3rd in his JGP events
and there is Alexander Samarin, 3rd in his first JGP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a04vri1KJCY
Han Yan finished 5th and 2nd but he can make it, so depends on another Russian boy how he will place in Germany JGP,
does Samarin need to not podium for Han Yan to go to GPF ?
Last spot I think can either go to Han Yan but If Alexander Samarin places 2nd, then Han Yan is out correct ?

Let's take a quick look at the campaign finance disclosure reports filed last week by some of the statewide candidates, shall we?
* Bill Brady. The mere $66,104 Brady reported raising during the third quarter was beyond pathetic. But here's how bad the Republican gubernatorial candidate's performance really was: Even Sheila Simon outraised him. The notoriously poor fundraiser Simon pulled in more than $106,000 during the quarter. And if it wasn't for the $200,000 in leftover funds from his 2010 governor's race, Brady would have had just $73,000 at the end of the quarter.
*Kirk Dillard. The burn rate in Dillard's GOP gubernatorial campaign fund is significant. He raised $263,000 but he spent $290,000 and ended the quarter with a mere $205,000 in the bank.
* Bruce Rauner. The multi-gazillionaire Republican candidate for governor spent more than $27,000 on payroll taxes alone during the third quarter, which gives you an idea of the sort of organization he's built. By comparison, Gov. Pat Quinn spent $19,000 on payroll taxes.
Rauner also reported spending $800,000 on advertising, including direct mail, which is slightly less than he spent in the previous quarter. None of his opponents spent more than a handful of dollars on ads. Since he launched his campaign, Rauner has spent $274,000 on consultants. Rauner raised about $1.1 million for his gubernatorial fund, spent the same and ended with $594,000 on hand.
Rauner's legislative term limits PAC, which is seeking to put a constitutional amendment proposal on the ballot next year, has already paid $114,000 to the California firm Arno Petition Consultants Inc. A California petition company called Arno Political Consultants has stirred quite a bit of controversy in the past with its petition-gathering practices, so we should keep an eye on that.
Rauner's term limits PAC has also spent $38,000 in legal fees and is renting space from a group called "Catholic Vote."
* Dan Rutherford. The Republican state treasurer reported raising $66,000 in small, "unitemized" contributions for his governor's race, more than any gubernatorial candidate in either party. Unlike Dillard and Brady, Rutherford has built a solid statewide network to raise money, so Rauner's support by all the big money types hasn't really hurt Rutherford. He raised $337,000 during the quarter, spent $147,000 and had $1.2 million in the bank at the end of the quarter.
* Pat Quinn. The incumbent Democratic governor is sitting on the largest war chest of any gubernatorial candidate at just under $3 million (Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who decided to take a pass on a bid, has $4.8 million in the bank).
Quinn's disclosure report also revealed that he has put Joe Slade White back on the payroll. White designed Quinn's inexpensive-looking but effective 2010 general election ad campaign. White was paid $10,000 on Sept. 10, a week before Bill Daley dropped out of the Democratic primary, so Quinn was obviously gearing up to run some ads against his now erstwhile challenger. Quinn spent $51,000 on consulting services and $34,000 on salaries during the quarter.

Sled Mayhem Tops Charts, Launches Improved Version
Arcade-style snowmobile racing app tops charts, launches new version with improved features
After topping multiple iTunes store categories in
"There is nothing more satisfying than hitting the chord with the players and receiving positive feedback; it makes the hard work worthwhile," said Dejan Cecar, Goldmark Studios CEO. "We've been fortunate enough to gain a large, steady-growing fan base with our app on account of its compelling design and addictive gameplay."
Players are taken on a wild ride through rough terrain and beautiful mountain scenery, whipping through trees and hills while gaining bonus points for tricks and jumps. The game features acceleration and braking buttons on the bottom corners of the screen, and when players find themselves with ample opportunity for a sick backflip or trick, they can simply tilt the device forward or back.
Improved features of the 1.2 version include:
A unique feature of this app is the ability for players to create and share their own tracks. Using the "create" option in the main menu, players can arrange an entire map to their liking, using a finger to draw mountains, hills and other exciting terrain. Users can publish and share new tracks with thousands of other extreme racers and "favorite" the ones they like. If a player is particularly proud of his or her rankings on the worldwide leaderboards, there is a sharing option for Facebook and Twitter in the main menu.
"We recognize the importance of social media and believe it is a fun and necessary feature of the game," said Cecar.
Sled Mayhem reached No.

It's hard to see the improvement at Casino Pier following its destruction at the hands of Hurricane Sandy. But, it's what you don't see that let's you know work is being done.
The Seaside Heights attraction is nearly empty. All of the amusements and rides that remained on the pier following Sandy have been taken down, piece-by-piece, and carted away, some to storage, some to the scrap yard.
The log flume, half of it having fallen into the ocean, is gone. The Wild Mouse rollercoaster has been taken down and hauled away. The buildings that housed concessions and games have been torn down. A few remnants remain, including the Jet Star coaster, still sitting in the water.
Soon, that will be gone too.
It's stark right now; the pier is almost completely empty save for a few scattered piles of debris and equipment. Now is when the rebuilding can begin.
Toby Wolf, marketing director for Jenkinson's, said anywhere from a few to two dozen workers have called the pier and its adjacent Casino Arcade home for the past few months, working on various projects in hopes of getting the pier and arcade open by this summer.
Tentatively, Wolf said ownership is hoping to open the property by May, in line with the expected completion of the Seaside Heights boardwalk reconstruction. A definitive timetable is hard to process, however. In some cases, damage at Casino Pier and Arcade is still being assessed, though progress is still being made.
Soon, crews will start to replace pilings beneath the pier. Then they'll start to replace boards and the portion of the pier that fell into the ocean during Sandy's onslaught. Once the pier is rebuilt and sound, then the amusements will start to roll back in.
For now, the pier is empty, splintered and cracked in spots, with holes scattered throughout its surface. It's ugly, but it's progress.

There was a note on Twitter this afternoon from an agent saying that Bandits' goalie Mike Thompson was retiring. In this day and age, you have to check out every rumor.
I contacted Scott Loffler of the Bandits front office. He replied that Thompson is uncertain whether he'll be back with the team next season. Therefore, he has been placed on the retired list. However, there's nothing that can prevent Thompson from changing his mind and showing up for training camp if he desires.
Thompson missed the late stages of the 2012 season because of a knee injury. If he had told the Bandits at some point early in the year that 2012 might be his last season, then the team's acquisition for Anthony Cosmo for two first-round draft choices might make more sense now than it did at the time.
Buffalo's third-string goalie is Angus Goodleaf, who would move up on the depth chart if Thompson indeed decides to call it a career.
Later in the day, the Bandits announced they had designated Cosmo and Tracey Kelusky as franchise players. Without knowing all of the contract particulars involved, Cosmo's pick obviously makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure Kelusky has a great deal of value at this point, considering age and production, but my guess for now is that we shouldn't read too much into this.

For The Independent
It started simply enough. The middle-aged woman was asked to teach a Sunday school class whose members included an autistic, 9-year-old girl.
She quickly became devoted to the beautiful child who looked perfectly normal but could not speak.
However, sometimes the girl spontaneously sang bits and pieces of children's church songs.
She loved to rub and lightly scratch the surface of various objects. She liked to laugh and cried only when upset but usually was silent.
One Sunday the teacher asked if the young girl could sit with her during the worship service.
She, in effect, would be another grandparent helping the parents who had two other younger children to supervise.
The teacher went home that Sunday and told her husband of the spiritual feeling she had while sitting with the young girl in church.
Later, she commented that the uplifting experience stayed with her throughout the week and she told co-workers about the young girl.
Curious about this special child his wife kept talking about, the teacher's husband came to see her the next Sunday.
In a matter of moments, the young girl laid her head on the man's shoulder and fell fast asleep.
As the couple drove home that Sunday afternoon, the husband agreed that he, too, had sensed something very spiritual about the young girl.
Some weeks passed and the husband was diagnosed with cancer. He underwent surgery and weeks of chemotherapy and radiation.
Throughout the ordeal, he kept telling his family that the little girl's spirit was inspiring him to have faith and to endure.
As he slowly recuperated, he eagerly returned to church to sit with his wife and this special child who had softened his heart and lifted his spirits.
Today, three years later, this once unhappy, discouraged man is a happier, more loving person to his own family and friends.
His own children and grandchildren say they are proud of how he and his wife look after the young girl at church.
He is an active churchgoer because he knows — and others close to him sincerely believe — that he has been touched by an angel.
Many of us are convinced that God often works through other persons to bring about life-altering changes in the lives of those who need His help.
In this case, the divine instrument was a special young girl who didn't need words to convey a message of hope and love.

CHAPEL HILL — A 14-year-old student of East Chapel Hill High School has died of an illness apparently linked to meningitis.
The student, who is not being identified, was in school on Tuesday and passed away Wednesday, according to school and county officials.
The child was believed to be infected by the bacterium meningococcus, which can cause several illnesses, including: meningitis, an infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord; sepsis, an infection of the bloodstream; and other serious illnesses, according to the Orange County Health Department.
Transmission of the disease in a classroom setting is rare, but the bacterium can spread by saliva when people kiss or share drinks, food or cigarettes, the health department told parents in a letter.
The student may have been infectious and in school on Feb. 11, 12, 17 and 18, according to Colleen Bridger, the countys health director. People infected by meningococcus generally show symptoms within three or four days, but onset can take 14 days.
The school notified parents of the death within hours via voice messages and emails.
Health officials recommend preventive antibiotic treatment for members of the deceased students household and others who might have had contact with the students saliva.
The Orange County Health Department is working to identify people who need preventive treatment. The health department requests that anyone with questions call a physician or the health department at 919-245-2400.

Judy Collins, Stephen Lang, André De Shields Will Take Part in Free Performance of The Civil War in Words and Music
By Michael Gioia
A free performance of The Civil War in Words and Music, sponsored by Cooper Union, the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Foundation and the New York State Archives Partnership Trust, will be offered Feb. 13 in the Cooper Union Great Hall in New York.
According to Cooper Union, "Words and music of the Civil War era will fill The Cooper Union's Great Hall, site of Lincoln's 1860 'Right Makes Might' speech, in a celebration of the birthday of our 16th president."
The 6:30 PM event will feature Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Judy Collins, Tony Award nominees Stephen Lang (The Speed of Darkness) and André De Shields (The Wiz, The Full Monty), pop-folk singer-songwriter Dar Williams, members of The Classical Theater of Harlem and nationally renowned Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer.
Collins will perform popular songs of the era, including some of Lincoln's favorites — "Beautiful Dreamer," "Johnny I Hardly Knew You" and The Last Rose of Summer" — as well as composer Aaron Copland's "Lincoln Portrait," featuring excerpts from Lincoln's great documents including the Gettysburg Address. Williams will sing as well.
Lang and De Shields return to The Great Hall to reprise their roles as Lincoln and abolitionist Frederick Douglass, respectively, and engage in a dialogue constructed from historical documents, personal letters and speeches.
Holzer, chairman of the national Lincoln Bicentennial Foundation and a consultant on Steven Spielberg's 2012 film "Lincoln," compiled the dialogue and will serve as master of ceremonies.
The Great Hall in the Foundation Building is located at 7 East 7th Street (between Third and Fourth Avenues). For more information, visit Cooper.edu.

Arlington County has transformed a brownfield north of Crystal City into a massive public park that boasts three full-size, multi-sport fields and will eventually connect to the Mount Vernon Trail with a bicycle and pedestrian bridge.
Long Bridge Park officially opens to the public following a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. Saturday.
"To have the park opening… As you design these things, and you see plans, you wonder what will it really look like?" said Tobin Smith, chairman of the Long Bridge Park Design Advisory Committee.
"What's cool is now to see the pictures that are now being taken compared to what was drawn. So, it's really kind of cool to see the vision, what we thought we were creating, to go out and see it, which is really fulfilling. That really brings it home."
More than 100 public meetings have been held regarding the park, Smith said.
So far, the county has spent about $33 million on the park, which blankets 18 acres of land immediately adjacent to 6th Street South. The county was able to leverage various public and private dollars to help pay for the endeavor.
Another $65 million is anticipated for an aquatics center, which will feature an Olympic-size pool and an indoor fitness area. Later, another $50 million is pegged to expand that into a multi-activity center that will be able to accommodate indoor field sports, bringing the total investment to just under $150 million.
The complete, expanded park will be about 30 acres. Construction is planned through at least 2015, though the final improvements could take another decade beyond that to finish.
The park features two large rain gardens – and several smaller ones – designed to filter stormwater before it flows into the nearby Potomac River.
Spots of contaminated land have been consolidated and capped, allowing for gradual slopes from the park's lowest point – about 9 feet about sea level – to its highest point, which is about 43 feet.
At different points, the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol building can be seen in the distance.
"We took a space that was unusable and turned it into a park," said Amado Fernandez, the project's architect.
"The magic that we've done? That's the magic."
Erik Beach, a planner in the county's Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources and the project manager for Long Bridge Park, said care was taken in the design to sculpt the park, to make it "monumental."
"We're very proud of it," he said. "We're very happy."
Planes, trains and automobiles form an underlying theme to the park, with Interstate 395 on one side, and a rail line and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on the other. Occasionally, airplanes taking off or landing fly directly overhead.
"We decided to embrace that noise," Beach said. "What kid doesn't like to see planes fly overhead?"
Already installed is Wave Arbor, a two-piece public art feature. Each piece suspends a series of wing forms that rock in the breeze, waving at passersby.
"It's meant to be a celebratory piece," said artist Douglas Hollis, who created the sculpture.
The work of art cost $413,000, and the North Tract Lofts and Boeing Co. each contributed $75,000 toward that.
The county's recent negotiations with Boeing to put the company's east coast headquarters on the other side of 6th Street also resulted in the acquisition of the extra land needed to fully expand the park. The Boeing building will replace the dilapidated buildings currently across from the park, and will include a large landscaped area to help it blend in with its surroundings.
Marymount University contributed $2 million to help build one of the fields, and the school will use that field about 500 hours each year – about one-fourth of its available time – for all of its lacrosse and soccer practices and home games.
A few bleachers have been installed, but the county hopes people will use the slopes on the sides of the field for chairs or blankets to watch games.
Cherry trees line and small picnic areas line the esplanade that runs along Roaches Run Waterfowl Sanctuary, which separates the park from George Washington Parkway.
The occasional fossil can be seen in the bluestone-lined walls of the esplanade.
The park's name pays homage to the original name of the 14th Street Bridge.
Educational and interpretative signs are planned for the future.
"That was key in the design – that it be more than a sports complex," said Robert Capper, the county's construction manager and supervisor of Long Bridge Park.
"And it truly is."

By CHRIS MORRIS
When it's unveiled Aug. 14, a new and improved New Albany-Floyd County Public Library emphasizing technology will be much more user friendly, according to library Director Rose Frost.
An integrated computer software system that controls the library's key services will be installed beginning Aug. 12. Library staff use the software to check books in and out, print notices, and the online computer catalog that patrons use to look up books and other materials. The library has been on its current system for more than 20 years.
"This is a huge deal," Frost said. "We will be able to do so much more with this system."
Along with the system, the library will also launch a new website next month which will include more staff blogs and better indexing.
The library budgeted $100,000 for the new system, but Frost said the final cost will likely be less. Along with the system and website, the library will also be getting new, larger computer monitors.
The library will be closed on Sunday, Aug. 11 through Tuesday, Aug. 13 so that the new software can be installed and configured. There will also be staff training for two days.
The new system is called Library Solution 2 and is sold and supported by The Library Corporation (TLC) in Inwood, W.V.
Current library card holders will be able to keep their same library cards. Information about holds, items checked out, addresses and phone numbers will be transferred automatically from the old Horizon system to the new TLC software.
The process of replacing the old system began at the beginning of the year, according to Frost. Several members of the staff were involved in developing criteria for a new system, viewing demonstrations and evaluating features. TLC's Library Solution 2 was selected for the NA-FC Library according to Frost because it offers:
• a user friendly interface.
• email and text message capabilities.
• e-commerce so that patrons can pay their fines with credit and/or debit cards either online from home, using a mobile app, or paying at the library.
• a special graphical card catalog for children.
Library notices will also be able to be emailed or sent by text message instead of mail.
"This system will also allow the staff to do more statewide reports and will allow us to borrow books anywhere in the state that is on this system," Frost said. "Another big advantage is the old system will not allow us to do e-commerce. Now there will be an application where people can pay fines and fees from their home or office."
Frost said when the library reopens Aug. 14, the staff will be prepared to answer questions and help patrons maneuver through the new system. However, during the three days the library is closed, its website will not be available for use.

Here are five things you need to know today in Woburn:
1) Treats For Our Troops
The holiday charity initiative Treats For Our Troops was deemed a success by organizers. The group collected 606 boxes for soldiers! That's about 6,666 pounds of candy donated—more than double the amount from last year.
2) Veterans job program
The Career Place in Woburn will hold a special job program for veterans this Friday from 9 to 11 a.m. The program will focus on building relationships in the workplace and networking. Topics will include: relationship building and the benefits, who to contact for advice and networking, and keeping an open mind when developing a job search strategy.
3) Cooldown expected
According to the National Weather Service's specialized forecast just for Woburn, our summer break is just about over. The NWS says our temperatures will drop from the 70s to the low 50s today and will reach 44 degrees by dinnertime. Expect some rain in the morning before lunch and clouds the rest of the day.
4) In case you missed it
We had a few police-related stories posted yesterday, including a teen who was hospitalized after he was stabbed several times in downtown Woburn; two men who took a 21st birthday party too far and were placed in protective custody (one man was found passed out in a hotel lobby, the other was under several pizza boxes); and an armed robber who hit the DB Mart in Woburn tried to hit a store in Stoneham Sunday night.
5) Headlines in history
Let's take a walk through Woburn's history, shall we? Some headlines in newspapers regarding Nov. 13 events in Woburn were:
- 1896—Caucus Result in Doubt—The Republican Caucus was held in Woburn.
- 1924—Autopsy Today May Set Girl's Father Free—A 50-year-old father may be set free if autopsy proves his 14-year-old daughter committed suicide and was not shot by the man.
- 1925—Winchester Man Crushed Between Freight Cars—Accident occured at Broad and Union streets.
- 1954—Woburn Throws Marblehead for 20-7 Setback—Scoring ace was out three days with flu.

To Tulsa and back - On tour with J.J. Cale
A film by Jörg Bundschuh (2005) 90 min.
He was a legend wrapped in mystery whose records and persona have earned him a devoted cult following worldwide. J.J. Cale has quietly made a major impact on rock music but remains an enigma as perhaps the most unpretentious man in popular music. Although he has written some of the biggest rock hits ever and is regularly offered major concert dates, he lived for years in a trailer away from the public eye taking years off between recordings and performances.
J.J. Cale is credited with creating the Tulsa Sound, a laid back mix of Rock'n' Roll, Country, Blues and Jazz. When Mojo Magazine asked Eric Clapton which other
musician he would most like to be, he answered "Cale", calling him "one of the masters of the last three decades of music." Neil Young is quoted in his biography Shakey as saying "He´s so sensitive. Of all the players I ever heard, it's gotta be Hendrix and J.J. Cale who are the best electric guitar players." Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler also admits to having based their sound on Cale's unique style. Among Cale's devoted fans are musicians of all generations, such as Willie Nelson, Tom Petty and Widespread Panic. J.J.Cale is a musician's musician.
While Clapton had two of his biggest hits with Cale's After Midnight and Cocaine, other artists as varied as Johnny Cash, the Allman Brothers, Brian Ferry, Captain Beefheart, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, Jerry Garcia, Deep Purple and many more have covered Cale songs such as Call Me The Breeze, Anyway The Wind Blows, Cajun Moon, Call the Doctor, Crazy Mama, Magnolia, Sensitive Kind, Travelin Light.
For the first time, Cale has agreed to have a film made about his music, his life and career. The documentary follows him and his band through six American states on his To Tulsa and Back Tour.
JJ Cale passed away in July 2013.

Burnley juniors honour the town's fallen heroes
3:27pm Tuesday 20th September 2011 in Burnley RUFC By Steve Tinniswood, Sports reporter
Burnley Rugby Club's juniors made a poignant trip to Belgium to pay their respect to the town's fallen heroes.
The club's youngsters were experien-cing the first ever tour abroad – taking on two of the country's best young teams.
But not before visiting the cemetery in Flander Fields in a homage to the men that fell in the First World War.
A wreath was laid on one of the graves while vice chairman Bill Dooley read out the names of the 12 Burnley soldiers that could be found in the cemetery, along with a short prayer.
It proved to be a memorable exper-ience both on and off the pitch for the Burnley youngsters.
In their opening game of the mini tour, Burnley played Gent RC on 3G turf – another first for the team – the host team kept Burnley at bay in the opening quarter in very hot, difficult conditions.
In a real see-saw battle, Burnley hit back and dominated Gent up front and scored tries through Lee Ferrier, Declan Hutchinson and James Henderson only to narrowly lose 24-22.
The second game saw Burnley take on Dendermond RC, a team not far from Antwerp who were considered to be one of the strongest in the area.
And so it proved as the home team began to wrack up the points and run away to victories. But Burnley showed their fighting spirit and tries from Dominic Murphy, James Henderson, Lee Ferrier, Matthew Fordley and Declan Hutchinson brought the teams level.
However, the fight back took it out of Burnley and Dendermond, with fresh legs to call upon, ran out 36-27 winners in another superb game.
Player of the tour awards went to Declan Hutchinson, Chris Pickles and Celyn Lennard.
n Burnley First XV had a bad day at the office after losing 43-10 at St Edwards Old Boys – conceding 21 points in the opening six minutes.
Captain Nino Angelone crashed over for a try as Burnley trailed 21-5 at the break.
Substitute Billy Ingham scored a second try for Burnley after the break.

Why She's No.97?
Tina Fey's comedic tongue and inherent cuteness make her intriguingly desirable, and others agree. Maxim previously named the writer and actress one of its Hot 100 Women, while People featured her on its 50 Most Beautiful People list in '03. And now she's made AM's Top 99. Funny is sexy, and no one knows that better than Tina Fey.
In 2009, we'll see Tina Fey on Season 4 of 30 Rock as well as in the ensemble comedy This Side of the Truth with Ricky Gervais and Jason Bateman. She'll also release her first book, which publisher Little, Brown & Co. reportedly paid $5 million for. If Tina Fey can keep making us laugh, our desire for comedy -- and her -- will stay strong. Read more about Tina Fey
Short Bio
Tina Fey started on Saturday Night Live as a writer in 1997. She then joined the main cast, served as the head writer and earned three Emmy nominations between 2001 and 2003. In 2004, she wrote the screenplay for Mean Girls. In 2006, she created 30 Rock, which received the Emmy for Best Comedy Series that same year.
2008 was Tina Fey's time to shine. She won three Emmy Awards and one Golden Globe, all for her acting and writing work on 30 Rock. At election time, her striking resemblance to Sarah Palin made her an SNL fixture once again, and provided the show (and her career) with a gargantuan boost. And 2009 got off with a bang, as Tina took home one Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series and a second for Best Television Series. Read more about Tina Fey

Three years ago Councilman David Marks was highly critical of the fundraising efforts of development attorney David Gildea on behalf of several Baltimore County Council candidates.
Marks now seems more comfortable with what he once called "a Tammany Hall-style political machine." Enough so that Gildea is helping raise up to $4,000 per person for the Perry Hall Republican at a November event in Carney.
Not that Marks is willing to talk about it.
Gildea and Michael Paul Smith, son of former County Executive Jim Smith, were involved in raising tens of thousands of dollars for Democrats Cathy Bevins, Gordon Harden and Tom Quirk. The pair raised the money through house parties where attendees were charged $1,000 per person—at the time an unprecedented amount for a council race, much less for candidates who had never run for office before.
At the time, Marks and other community leaders said they worried that Gildea and Smith were attempting to elect councilmembers who might be friendly to their client's development proposals. Land use and zoning are primarily controlled by individual councilmembers.
In a 2009 story I wrote for the Baltimore Sun, Marks was highly critical of the involvement of the attorneys—specifically Gildea.
"The image of a Tammany Hall-style political machine, selecting candidates to run in open council districts is troubling," said Marks, who was president of the Perry Hall Improvement Association at the time.
Gildea is now part of a host committee that sent out invitations to a fundraiser for Marks that will be held in November at the .
The Towson development attorney in May was responsible for (Marks' words) that benefited clients of Gildea and his law firm. Marks was the lead sponsor of the bill.
I emailed Marks the 2009 statement and asked him to reconcile the 2009 statement with the upcoming fundraiser.
Here is his response in full:
"The people who selected me were the voters of the 5th District from all political persuasions," Marks replied. "I ran with community support and have proven to be an independent member of this County Council, limiting development on more than 400 acres of land and authoring numerous bills that make government more open to the public."
Marks declined Monday to answer questions about whether or not the event in any way conflicted with his statement made months before he announced his candidacy for the County Council.
A day later, Marks avoided the press and at one point left a council work session through a public entrance in order to access a backdoor into the council office suite, rather than use an exit that leads directly to the offices because it meant walking past a reporter.
Marks, through an aide, declined requests to be interviewed Tuesday.

Derry News
Astros are Number One
The Pinkerton boys indoor track team successfully defended the Division I title this weekend in an incredibly close meet with Nashua North.
The meet started with Pinkerton apparently winning the boys 4x800 relay. The excitement was short lived after it was discovered they handed off outside the zone and were disqualified.
But Pinkerton athletes persisted. Mark Franklin and Sam Webber stepped up in the high jump, taking second and fourth place. John Davis also had a personal record in the shot-put to take sixth place.
Pat Chabot ran an awesome 3000, taking third place with a really strong final lap kick. Next up was the 55, with Zach Cicio seeded fifth in the finals. He had a big personal record to take third place.
The combination of Chris Poggi, Joe Poggi and Nate Rees took the 1000 by storm, racking up 17 points placing first, third and sixth.
Connor Kwiecien ran a tough 600, taking second place in a very fast race. In the 300, Zach Cicio would step up again, coming in second place and running one of the fastest times in school history.
The 4x400 was next up, doing what they did all season and taking a commanding victory to give the team a one-point lead going into the 4x200. This meant that whichever 4x200 came out in front would win the meet. In a close race, the Pinkerton boys ran the second fastest time in school history to win the race and the meet.
Complete results are available at lancertiming.com/results/winter13/nhiaa-d1b.htm.
Pinkerton sixth at state meet
The Astros girls placed sixth in the state meet on Sunday with only 11 girls competing. The girls fought hard for every point. There were many personal records and proud moments along the way.
Michaela Blackwell made it to the finals for the dash, where she placed seventh with a 7.71 second run. In the long jump, Michaela was consistent with her new personal record from last week and jumped 16 feet 1 1/2 inches for a fourth-place finish.
Jacqui Wyka ran an excellent 600m race, passing Merrimack in the last 50 meters to take fourth in Division 1 with a 1:42.16. Carli Davis and Ariel Vaillancourt both ran the 1000m after competing in the 4x800. They both moved up two places from where they were ranked in Division 1.
Morgan Sansing took third in the 3000 and set a new personal record with 10:41.56. Siobhan McLaughlin went out hard and moved up in the rankings for the 3000m run. She was only 1 second off her personal record set earlier this season.
Morgan and Siobhan also ran the 1500m race later in the day. Doubling in the distance events is not easy. Morgan showed her tough competitive spirit fighting for a spot and running down Bedford. She was only 3 seconds off her season personal record. Siobhan left everything out on the track.
Kayla Watson stayed consistent with a strong throw in the shot put, earning a fourth-place finish in her first season of track.
In the 4x800, Ariel Vaillancourt, Felicia Dowling, Erin Coutts and Carli Davis took third and missed the school record by one second. Each girl brought her time down by almost 2 seconds to get a personal record for the season of 9:58.54.
In the 4x400, Felicia Dowling, Carli Davis, Jacqui Wyka and Erin Coutts, less than a second off their personal record for the season, ran a 4:24.73. They placed second in their heat and made Merrimack work for the win.
In the 4x200, Andrea Albrecht, Aeriela Thornton, Erin Coutts and Michaela Blackwell were also 1 second off their personal record for the season.

Rossendale players host play reading
2:13pm Tuesday 18th December 2012 in What's on in Lancashire
ROSSENDALE Players are to host a play reading in the new year.
Sleepers Awake will be read on January 10, at 7.30pm, at the society's New Millennium Theatre base in Waterfoot.
The Alan Griffiths comedy sees Ron and Jenny Rainbow and their daughter Sharon settling into their new home – and preparing for their daughter's wedding with the help of neighbour Doreen.
It is then that unexpected visitor, Ivan a KGB agent, arrives to 'activate them', believing they are sleeping agents for the Russians. Luckily, MI5 agent George Phipps-Sanderson steps in to save the day.
A spokesman said: "All are welcome, this not a casting night. We read the play, say what we think and recommend it – or not as the case may be – to the play selection committee, all over a brew."
