We received this bedding very quickly. The quality of the set is very good. The actual fabric was a bit of a surprise as it is more satiny than I expected. It looks beautiful, however. The brown doesn't appear to be as rich as it shows in the picture. I would not recommend it if you have pets that go on to the bed. I think it would snag easily.
The pictures really do not do this bedding justice. It is jacquard, and the paisley pattern is stitched. It's absolutely gorgeous. The blues are a pale blue and st. tropez blue the latter of which appears silver in the light. But it's still true to the picture's colors. I'm very happy with this purchase. It looks like a premium bed set one would find at Neiman Marcus. Thanks Overstock for a great product for a great price.
I found this set at *** for $60 more, only the set at *** was a 7-piece rather than 12 pieces. The quality of the comforter and pillows is great, the sheets are okay. I received my order in just a few days as compared to the two-weeks it would have taken from ***. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
The quality is great. The sheets are very soft, as is the comforter. The design on the comforter is actually a stitched design which surprised me as I expected a printed design but it is still very soft. We have a cat that gets on the bed occasionally and so far, no snags. Everything is well made and is very nice quality. The picture on the site brings out a little more blue in the comforter than is normally seen but the colors are so beautiful anyway. The comforter length is just fine for our Queen size, when the top of the comforter is pulled to the top of the mattress it hangs down to the dust ruffle. Overall a very good investment for the price. We are very happy with our purchase
I needed something with blue to keep my husband happy. He loves the way it makes the bedroom look which is saying a lot for someone who really doesn't care about these things. The quality is very good and we have not had any issues with the pulled threads from our cat or use. (I purchased this 5 months ago.) Bed sheets are very smooth and so far no signs of pilling. This is just a really beautiful, serviceable set. Colors are true to the photo. Sheen mentioned by others is not distracting.
Really liked the quality of this until I had to wash the comforter frequently. The stitching on the inside of the perimeter pulled and bunched up. Had to snap the stitching to try and reshape. Unfortunately, because I have dogs I tend to wash the comforter every week and it is not up to that kind of wear. Would definitely recommend if you do not have pets!
Very nice comforter bedding set. Is all machine washable and very nice set up. I didn't like how thin the bed sheets were but they work and the color blue is so relaxing. Threads in comforter can pull if you have a dog but is still great quality. No regrets here. Love it.
WOW!!! This bedding set is awesome. It's very stylish and chic makes my guestroom look like a spa retreat. Everyone who has stayed with us since I've purchased it has been in awe of how the room looks and feels. I'm now looking at similar products from this maker to redo the master suite.
Product of good quality. It was a good purchase. Good quality.
Pattern on this set was beautiful, however the material felt "cheap" and if you have a bit of roughness to your skin, was just that type of material that stuck to your skin. Comforter was very cheap feeling, not a good weight for all purpose use. Very dissapointing and also when shipping back was charged *** for shipping back, even though the terms said free returns when I ordered it!

Fixed lens cameras typically offer very large zoom lenses, and they usually cost more than point and shoot, beginner models. Some fixed lens cameras can slightly add to their zoom and wide angle capabilities through the use of conversion lenses.
Even though fixed lens cameras don't fit the exact definition of a DSLR model, some people refer to fixed lens cameras as "beginner" DSLR cameras or DSLR-style cameras and include them in the DSLR class. Such cameras can serve as a bridge for an intermediate photographer looking to migrate from a beginner camera to a DSLR.

Public campaign financing deserves a vote
Sen. Jim Seward has called public financing of campaigns "Dead on arrival in the Senate." This is not true. It isn't dead, it is still knocking on the Senate door. The Republican caucus won't let it in.
Mr. Seward and other members of the GOP caucus are afraid of public financing. They like how hard it is for challengers to raise money to run against them. They are afraid of challengers with enough money to get their message to the people.
Public financing is not a gift. Candidates still need to show that they have genuine support across their district. They must raise a large amount of money, from real people making small donations. Only then can a candidate qualify for matching funds.
Opponents say that the public should foot the bill for politician's campaigns, but the truth is, we are already paying for not doing so. Politicians, particularly career politicians like Mr. Seward, know who their contributors are, and know how to give them special attention, and special favors. Seventy-five percent of Mr. Seward's donations in the last election came from corporations, especially those in the insurance industry. Mr. Seward is chair of the Senate's Insurance Committee. Coincidence? Not likely.
We can create a system that allows regular people, people like you and me, to run a credible campaign against corporate and other special-interest money, indeed we must. Opposition to public campaign financing from incumbents is not a principled stand, it is just a bunch of politicians trying to protect their own jobs. Let your representatives know that public campaign financing deserves a vote in the Senate.
Howard Leib
Leib was the Democratic Party candidate against Sen. James Seward in the 51st state Senate district in 2012.

North view from Kleiber Hall
The awkwardly titled Sciences Laboratory Building (SCILAB) is actually a pair of buildings identical in architecture to the Life Sciences Building, sandwiched between Briggs and Haring on the central UC Davis campus.
The main Sciences Laboratory Building, on the east, houses many biological science departments, as well as the Chemistry 2 series labs. The smaller building to the west is 123 Sciences Lecture Hall, a giant lecture hall on the same scale as 194 Chemistry.
The Sciences Laboratory Building is the most modern sciences teaching facility in California since its 2004 opening in the campus' Life Sciences District near the Life Sciences Addition and Briggs and Storer halls. In addition to laboratory classrooms, the project includes student discussion rooms, learning centers, offices and a computer laboratory. An adjacent 511-seat lecture hall is the largest of its kind on campus.
The Haring Barn was dismantled to make way for its construction, and the mysterious yellow bat-filled barn will likely live on only as a legend to future students of the University.
Most funding for the $57 million project came from a voter-approved state bond. A Division of Biological Sciences fund-raising campaign attempted to raise more than $10 million to fund instructional enhancements not covered by state funding, including new facilities for the UC Davis Herbarium, office space for Undergraduate Educational Enrichment and Outreach Programs, and a computer laboratory that will be devoted to training in bioinformatics." SOURCE
The very first lecture in 123 Sciences Lecture Hall was Winter Quarter 2004 at 8:00am with Jay Helms teaching Econ 1. Some people came and said a few words to the effect of, "...this has been a long time in the making...(confused applause)"
Inside the Sciences Laboratory Building on the first floor in the entrance across from Kleiber Hall is Bio Brew, a coffee shop that serves faculty, staff, and students.
Construction Information
Status Winter Quarter 2005
Back when it was under construction, there was a sign there that looks like this.
Some minor touch-ups are still ongoing, but it's done and people are using it. Stuff below this line may eventually be added to Sciences Laboratory Buildings:Construction or Construction:Sciences Laboratory Buildings, or something like that.
Sciences Laboratory Buildings:Construction sounds cool.
Status 12/31/2004:
This tree in a box was found on the construction site. Rumor has it that it's going to be planted.
This construction area is now sufficiently complete that students can bike/walk through it, and touch the buildings with their bare hands if they so desire.
The building seems to be nearly done at this point. The main area had lights on in it and looked as if it was being used. The lecture hall looked nearly completed, with only a bit of landscaping to be finished.
Status 08/05/2004:
Laboratory Building, north side.
Laboratory Building, south side.
Not pictured: The 500-student lecture hall. Look at the concept art and imagine a couple piles of dirt around it. Dirt and heavy machinery.

College basketball coaches are apt to bemoan their nonconference schedule almost as often as they lament a squad's youth. Of course this glosses over the fact that scheduling opponents outside the league is one of the few areas over which a coach has significant control.
The way a schedule is fashioned, and the amount of risk undertaken, usually says a lot about a coach's regard for a team's talent and experience. But a heightened emphasis on caution also seems evident in a newly invigorated ACC.
"The changing face of the ACC is just off the charts," said North Carolina coach Roy Williams. "I just sit back and say, 'Why should we be playing anybody that can dribble and chew gum at the same time out of conference?'"
That's a question the vast majority of ACC clubs confront as they seek a viable path to earning an NCAA bid.
"If my goal is to somehow find a way to get into the NCAA tournament, you've got to have a schedule that's going to challenge your team, will make you better but it's also going to look good to the selection committee," said N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried.
Gottfried's summary could speak for most ACC men's coaches, other than those at programs with near-automatic NCAA bids such as Duke, North Carolina and Syracuse.
Boston College's Steve Donahue certainly took note when Boise State got an NCAA bid in 2013 with a 9-7 record in the Mountain West Conference, while Virginia was excluded despite an 11-7 ACC mark. "The mid-majors have all figured it out," said Donahue. "We have to play as many teams that we can to better ourselves each and every game. We can't afford to play bad teams. That's the only way."
Donahue reports a road game is more than twice as valuable as a victory in boosting a team's RPI, a key formula used in awarding NCAA tournament berths. So Boston College plays five games away from home this year, easily more than any team in the ACC.
When 14 of 15 ACC squads open the 2013-14 season this Friday, only Boston College will do so at a hostile arena, traveling to Providence College, a member of the reconstituted Big East.
The Eagles host a measly four nonconference home contests, a factor no doubt influenced by having the league's lowest per-game attendance in 2013 (4,244). "I can't buy 13 games and get sellouts," said Donahue. Forward Ryan Anderson said the Boston College basketball squad must win with regularity to earn the same level of passionate home support accorded the school's hockey team – which has five NCAA titles to its credit.
"I think it's a challenge," B.C. guard Olivier Hanlan, the 2013 ACC freshman of the year, said bravely of the heavy dose of roadwork. "Coach, he likes putting out challenges. Obviously a road game is a lot harder, whoever you play. A bottom team or a top team, you never know."
Most ACC coaches prefer a more circumspect path to prosperity. Only five other league schools scheduled as many as three games on hostile courts – Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, N.C. State and Virginia.
Duke and Pittsburgh entirely avoid playing on opponents' home floors this season. For the Blue Devils this seems reasonable given a predominantly underclass roster. Yet Mike Krzyzewski pulled the same trick last year with a veteran unit, managing 13 nonconference games without visiting an unfriendly venue.
Duke's schedule does have its challenges. The Blue Devils potentially play three of the country's top seven teams in the preseason Associated Press poll – No. 5 Kansas on a neutral floor in Chicago, No. 7 Michigan at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and No. 6 Arizona should both advance to the finals of the Preseason NIT at Madison Square Garden. The No. 4 Devils also face 2013 NCAA entrants Davidson and UCLA, the Bruins back at Madison Square Garden, which recently underwent a $1billion renovation.
Maryland, Notre Dame, Syracuse, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest each undertake a single true road test in 2013-14. The Terrapins and Fighting Irish drew away games in the annual challenge series with the Big Ten.
Williams' Tar Heels similarly picked up a road trip in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, traveling to Michigan State, No. 2 in the preseason AP poll. UNC also faces No. 1 Kentucky at Chapel Hill and could play No. 3 Louisville in the championship game of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament.
But UNC's schedule is less bruising than it appears. The only other nonconference road game is at Alabama-Birmingham. Just three certain non-ACC opponents made last year's NCAAs. And Williams arranged an especially comfy respite prior to starting the conference season, with six straight games at the Smith Center from Dec. 14-31.
The only ACC coaches who stick close to home for a comparable stretch are Notre Dame's Mike Brey and Gottfried, whose inexperienced squad plays eight of its first nine at Raleigh, including seven straight.
Gottfried knows how narrow the margin can be between NCAA inclusion and disappointment; just two years ago N.C. State was perhaps the last team invited to the tournament, where it mounted a surprising advance to the Sweet 16. Consequently the coach crafted a modestly daring schedule for his rebuilding program.
The Wolfpack travels to Cincinnati and Tennessee; hosts a pair of 2013 NCAA teams, Florida Gulf Coast and Missouri; and gets visits from Detroit-Mercy, East Carolina and Eastern Kentucky, each a 20-game winner last year. In keeping with the athletic program's "Our State" theme – a particular favorite of UNC football coach Larry Fedora – five of the Wolfpack's non-ACC opponents come from within North Carolina.
"You want to become at the end of the year the best possible team you can be, and I think playing an aggressive schedule helps you do that, helps you get there," Gottfried said.
But no one is as aggressive as Donahue, with an up-and-coming program, a sketchy home court edge, and a carefully calibrated formula for success.
"Now, we're not going to have a pretty record," warned the fourth-year B.C. coach. "I don't care honestly what people think. We care that people value our program and will separate us from those other monster programs that (have folks saying), 'Look who they play.'"

August 2, 2014
A state House committee examining a fix for an underfunded coastal insurance program has rejected a bid to keep the current coverage maximum at $1.5 million per home.
The House Finance Committee on Thursday approved a complex, multi-level patch on the Beach Plan, a vital insurance provider for homes in 18 coastal counties.
The Beach Plan has promised insurance coverage to properties valued at nearly $74 billion, but its resources top out at about $2.4 billion. Beyond that, the reform bill would turn to all of the state's property owners to pay claims.
Lawmakers are considering capping how much insurers would be
assessed after a bad hurricane and shifting the remaining rebuilding costs to all North Carolina policyholders.

INDEPENDENCE: When the Cavaliers began winning with Dion Waiters in the starting lineup, coach Byron Scott stuck with it. Now after a brief stint on the bench, Waiters is entrenched again as the team's starting shooting guard — despite posting better numbers as a reserve.
Waiters averaged 17.1 points and shot 44 percent in nine games off the bench, compared to averaging 13.5 points and shooting 37 percent as a starter. Scott believes there is a simple explanation for the discrepancy.
When Waiters was coming off the bench, Scott immediately put the ball in his hands and told him to be aggressive. When he's in the starting lineup, that role still belongs to Kyrie Irving.
"He probably gets into a better rhythm coming off the bench because I put the ball in his hands," Scott said. "Off the bench, he comes out there and it's like, 'I'm going to give you the ball, this is what we're going to run, put you in pick and rolls and be in attack mode.' Whereas at the beginning of the game with Ky, I'm telling him to be in attack mode and with Dion it's, 'Hey, we'll find you a way.' Trying to create some things for him is a little bit different."
The chemistry between Waiters and Irving has been a work in progress. It has been fluent at times and clunky at others. The Cavs are at their best when the ball is in Irving's hands, but that means it is out of Waiters' for the first time in his life.
"We talk to each other on the court almost every possession trying to figure out spacing, when it's time for one another to take over," Waiters said. "Just [try] to give him enough space to operate and do what he's doing on the floor and vice versa for me and knowing where to be on the floor."
Scott thinks Waiters has adapted better in recent weeks to playing without the ball. He made his first five shots and six of his first seven in the big win Wednesday over the Charlotte Bobcats. He is attacking the basket and driving the lane more frequently, which is where he is at his best.
"In the last two to four weeks he's really starting to grow just from a maturity standpoint," Scott said. "He's really starting to understand what being a pro is all about. He's really starting to put in the work before and after practice and it's really starting to pay off. He's playing with a lot more confidence right now. He understands what his role is, even as a starter."
The Cavs believe the formula for a championship team includes two players who can create and an All-Star caliber big man. Irving has already proven capable of filling one of those slots, and the team remains confident Waiters could evolve into the other playmaker.
"When I was bringing him off the bench, it was just basically, 'I need you to be aggressive and score,'" Scott said. "Right now he's sharing the ball, getting to the basket and making some good decisions. I think right now he's really starting to grow and hopefully he can continue to play this way for the rest of the season."
Irving in 3-point shootout
Kyrie Irving was one of six players selected for the 3-point shootout during All-Star weekend. In a bit of a surprise, he was selected third overall in the draft between Team Shaq and Team Chuck for the Rising Stars game.
Irving will participate in the Rising Stars game on Friday, the 3-point shootout on Saturday and the All-Star Game on Sunday.
Irving is shooting .429 on 3-pointers this season, tied for ninth in the league. He will compete against the Knicks' Steve Novak, the Pacers' Paul George, the Hornets' Ryan Anderson, the Spurs' Matt Bonner and the Warriors' Stephen Curry.
Irving falling to third in the Rising Stars draft behind Portland's Damian Lillard and New Orleans' Anthony Davis was a bit of a surprise, but the possibility he may not play heavy minutes due to his obligations on Sunday may have played a role.
Irving played for Team Chuck last year when he won the MVP award. He will be joined on Team Shaq by teammates Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller. Waiters was selected 13th overall, while Zeller went undrafted and was assigned to Team Shaq on a blind draw. Tristan Thompson was the 12th overall pick to Team Charles.
The full rosters for the Rising Stars game are:
Team Shaq — Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving, Andre Drummond, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Chandler Parsons, Dion Waiters, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Tyler Zeller, Kemba Walker.
Team Chuck — Anthony Davis, Kenneth Faried, Kawhi Leonard, Bradley Beal, Ricky Rubio, Tristan Thompson, Nikola Vucevic, Brandon Knight, Isaiah Thomas, Alexy Shved
Magic number
The Cavs are 8-9 since the start of January and 6-3 over the past three weeks. After a miserable November and December, Scott is beginning to see light.
"It's way down there, but it's getting a little closer," he said. "I can see it without squinting."
The Cavs are enjoying a six-game homestand to close the first half of the season before the All-Star break. Scott met with the team before the homestand to give them a number of victories he thought they should reach during this stretch. He won't share that number until the break, but the Cavs are already 2-0 with four to go.
"We have [six] games before the All-Star break, let's focus on that," Scott said. "This is a number we feel we should hit as far as wins and losses before the All-Star break, and right now I think that number is directly on their minds. Every single day I bring that number up."

Bishop Carroll couldn't quite complete its championship dream on Saturday.
The underdog Huskies (15-6), seeded fifth and making their first-ever appearance in the title game, fell in straight sets to No. 2 Penns Manor 25-18, 25-22, 25-21 in the Class A final.
"This team had a lot of heart to get here," said Bishop Carroll coach Joe Skura, whose team will play District 5 champ North Star on Tuesday at Somerset High School in the PIAA playoffs. "They wanted this more than anything. I'm honestly still the proudest coach in the world that we got here. We all feel a little bit that we didn't finish the job at the end. To play a team like Penns Manor, I thought we were right with them, but we made too many unforced errors. The swept us. They are a great team and a great program. We played a little timid. I think my team was a little bit intimidated by what Penns Manor had to bring in. It showed a lot about the seedings. Single-A volleyball in District 6 is absolutely tremendous."
The Comets' senior outside hitters Jen Knezovich and Meghan Jarvie gave the Huskies trouble.
"We didn't get many blocks on their outside hitters," Skura said. "Our coverage in the back, we were a little off. They were getting into the heads of my passers. We moved one way and they went the other way. They were able to read the holes in the court very well. They played well all around. When we had them down, they came back and flipped it around fairly quickly."
Penns Manor coach Erika Talmadge said her team set its goals at the start of the year.
"Our goals were to win the conference and then districts and then some," the Comets coach said. "To come through today and actually make those goals a reality just feels the best.
"We have some great competitors at the net and I thought they really made the difference."
The Huskies led most of the first game before the Comets tied the game at 13 and Penns Manor finished on a 12-5 run.
In the second game, the Indiana County squad never trailed, rolling to the win.
Bishop Carroll started strong in the third game, but again the Comets came roaring back. After a tie at 16, Penns Manor never looked back.
Junior Sarah Gomish finished with 17 kills for the Huskies while freshman Ellie Yahner added 15.
"Our goal was to get through the Bellwood match and get here (to the championship) and everything from there was sugar on top," said Skura, whose team knocked off the top-seeded Blue Devils 3-1 in the semifinals. "These girls have worked hard. I wanted more than anything for them to get that medal around their neck, but I feel that it will give them more to be hungry for next year."

Four people were charged with burglary on Oct. 27 after breaking into a house on the 200 block of Clyde Ave. in Landowne in order to "look around," according to a police report.
At 3:37 a.m., police K9 units were deployed to help apprehend the suspects in the house, the report said.
A bathroom door inside the house was destroyed, according to police.

MOUNT PLEASANT, N.C. -- Parents and friends of three kids burned at a bonfire are demanding criminal charges against the man who poured an accelerant into a barrel and caused the injuries, but investigators say for now there is no evidence of a crime.
That has parent Donnalee Parkin flat out ticked. Her son Brad attended the bonfire Saturday on Barrier Store Road in Mount Pleasant.
"My son Brad was also on fire. The only thing that saved him was his coat," Parkin said.
Parkin wrote a letter to Cabarrus County Sheriff Brad Riley demanding action.
"You know in your heart there is a person responsible for the injury to all those people disfigured for life," Parkin said, reading the letter.
"I understand at least 50 people came forward and identified the adult male that threw the substance into the fire that resulted in the explosion. Somehow, that is reckless endangerment on that man's part."
"Right now we have no evidence of a crime from the fire marshal's office that has been committed," said Cabarrus County Emergency Management Director Bobby Smith. He reviewed the case Tuesday with the county fire marshal and Sheriff Riley.
Smith says their investigation isn't over and they're still looking into the intent of the man who poured the accelerant, but not saying if they've already talked to him.
"You don't pour a flammable fuel over a flaming fire and not expect anything to happen. That's intent, and you're intending to hurt somebody," Parkin said.
Investigators aren't saying what accelerant was used or what evidence they found at the bottom of the barrel.
"To see if it contributed in any way," Smith said.
Smith says the property owner faces code enforcement violations for failing to the appropriate burn permits.
Meanwhile, hospital officials confirm burn victims Kendall Bolton, Nathan Honeycutt and Chris Holland are in good condition at the Chapel Hill Burn Center.
Parkin's son, who is Bolton's boyfriend, hasn't left her bedside.
"She has a long road of recovery ahead of her and so do the other two boys," Parkin said.
Investigators say if their findings change, the man who poured the accelerant could be charged.
Friends say even if nothing happens criminally, they expect civil lawsuits to be filed against the property owner and the man who poured the accelerant.
Friends are setting up donation funds to help victims and their families pay medical bills and other expenses.

Konawa —
The host Konawa Lady Tigers made short work of the Ada Lady Cougars during a Thursday afternoon matchup at the Byng-Konawa Back to School Classic fast-pitch softball tournament.
It just wasn't quite as short as some of the Ada coaches thought.
After Konawa's Brittany Lancaster scored her team's fifth run in the bottom of the third inning to put the Lady Tigers on top 4-2, the umpire signaled that the game was over due to the time limit. Some Ada coaches believed they had five more minutes of playing time, but that turned out not to be the case.
According to Byng athletic director Bruce Plunk, the time limit is 60 minutes, but no new inning is supposed to start after the 55-minute mark. Technically, the game should have lasted two minutes longer after getting started at 1:47 p.m. and being called off at 2:40 p.m. (53 minutes).
"These time limit games are pretty fast," Konawa coach Doug Isaacs said following the game.
Ada led 2-1 heading into the bottom of the third before the Lady Tigers staged a rally.
Konawa scored three times in the Tigers' half of the inning, with leadoff hitter Tarah Madron igniting the uprising by clubbing a leadoff double to the fence in left-center field. Madron stole second on ball four to Shelby Campbell, putting runners at the corners with no outs. Madron would steal home on a pitch to Rachael Sharp, who later popped up to first base for out No. 1 to put Konawa ahead 3-2.
Lancaster singled to put runners at first and second before Campbell came around to score on a wild pitch and a passed ball. It was after Chesa Coon reached on an error, allowing Lancaster to score, that the game was ruled over about 180 seconds too early.
"There was nothing about 55 minutes and no new inning on the sheet we got, but it wasn't looking very good for us anyway right there," said Ada head coach Scott Simpson.
Ada wasted a golden opportunity to score in the top of the first, when Brittany Lee reached safely on a dropped third strike and Lindi Robinson followed with a base hit to left field. The runners advanced on a double steal, leaving runners at first and second with no outs.
However, Madron, Konawa's pitcher, got her teammates out of that jam all by herself by striking out the next three batters she faced. She finished with seven strikeouts in three innings of work to earn her second mound win of the young season.
"We put ourselves in a hole by striking out three times with runners at second and third," Simpson said. "To me, you're not going to beat anybody in any class by doing that. That was pretty frustrating."
Madron scored Konawa's first run of the game when she led off with a single, went to second on a groundout, stole third and raced home on an infield hit by Sharp.
Ada grabbed its 2-1 lead with a pair of runs in the top of the third. Lee again led off the frame by reaching on a dropped third strike and was safe at second on a fielder's choice ground ball off Robinson's bat. A double steal put runners at second and third — again with no outs. But this time, four-hole hitter Stevona Gilbert poked a single to right field, driving in a pair of runs and putting Ada on top.
Isaacs wasn't thrilled with his team's three errors in just three innings, but he was glad the Tigers came out on top.
"The girls know when to step up, it seems like. You expect that (a few errors) early, but we'll take the win," he said.
Simpson said he expects his team to improve from here on out.
"We got a couple of passed balls and wild pitches that hurt us there at the end. We didn't play very good. But it was the first time out. We'll get better," he said.
Thursday's remaining tournament games at Konawa and Byng will appear in Sunday's edition of The Ada News.

Raw Japan
Slices of Japanese business, politics and life
Cherry blossoms cheer up Japan
The season is back and so is the nation's obsession. The map of Japan has turned pink on TV, with anchors and weather forecasters speculating when the day will be.
The stores are filling up their shelves with pink products, ranging from stickers to salt. And soon, people will start lining up for hours to get the best spots, so that they can appreciate its ephemeral beauty while gorging on bento (box meals) and booze.
The cherry blossoms are about to bloom.
While there are some 300 varieties of cherry blossoms, called "sakura"in Japanese, the main three in Japan are the somei yoshino (often seen in parks and riverbanks), yamazakura (which means "mountain sakuras" and are planted in mountainous areas, and shidarezakura (often seen in temples).
The delicate, pink flowers have been around for centuries in Japan, and the ancient national obsession can be seen in poems and literature from more than one thousand years ago.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

A twisting, breakneck tale of spy craft and betrayal, "The Berlin File" is an action-oriented contemporary espionage thriller in which agents from North Korea and South Korea attempt to outwit and overmatch each other in Berlin while dodging the CIA, Mossad and Arab agents.
Written and directed by Ryoo Seung-wan, the film is somehow both nimble and a bit lumbering, as crack set pieces are placed against dense plotting and moments of languorous character development. As an agent from the North (Ha Jung-woo) goes head-to-head with an agent from the South (Han Suk-kyu), they are both thrown by a North Korean operative (Ryoo Seung-bum) with a taste for mayhem and an agenda of his own.

Guide to New Provisions in State Law
On April 1, 2014, New York State lawmakers approved a package of legislation that changed the legal landscape for New York City charter schools.
This webinar, conducted by NYC food service expert, Geoffrey Ramsey, and a charter school Director of Operations who has gone through the process of becoming a School Food Authority, was originally presented to new school teams as part of the 2013 Start Right program. It provides an overview of food service options that are available to charter schools as well as the steps for schools to follow to become their own School Food Author

Part of the funding to pay for a watershed study related to the Cane Run and Mill Creek pump stations was approved at the Jeffersonville Drainage Board meeting Wednesday night.
Before Jeffersonville and Clarksville agreed to move forward on a plan to replace or rehabilitate the two pump stations, an agreement was reached to do a more in-depth watershed study in order to refine the construction plans.
At a Jeffersonville-Clarksville Flood Control District meeting in late-October, the board chose Strand Associates to complete the watershed study. Along with agreeing to pay a portion of the costs, the joint flood control board planned to ask both the town of Clarksville and the Jeffersonville Drainage Board to pay a portion of the watershed study expenses. The district also agreed to issue bonds for the project at an amount of up to $7.5 million at an August meeting.
But when the initial estimate of the costs were offered to the flood control district at its October meeting, Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore offered concern over the estimated costs of $120,000 to $150,000.
At the drainage board meeting Wednesday, Roddy Williams, senior vice president at Strand Associates, explained the purpose of the study and a revise goal for the costs.
"Our goal will to be evaluate where they should be located, elevation and size of those pump stations," he said. "We met with the mayor, the chairman of the board and the attorney last week and defined some goals and how we're going to proceed with this project. The mayor had made a statement the budget that we're shooting for the overall project study will be $90,000. So, that's what we're shooting for."
Subsequently, the Jeffersonville board approved a not-to-exceed amount of $30,000 to pay for the watershed study.
The remaining costs are expected to be split between Clarksville and the flood control district.
The drainage board also approved the drainage plan for a Taco Bell restaurant to be located in a parking lot off of 10th Street, near Allison Lane.
City Engineer Andy Crouch explained it will actually reduce drainage as the plan is to construct the fast food restaurant in a paved parking lot in front of Rural King and Kroger. The plan, which has also already received approvals from the city's Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council, was unanimously approved.
A drainage plan on Veterans Parkway, north of Charlestown-New Albany Pike, for planned office space also was approved. The plan calls for the office building on just under one acre with about 40 parking spots on the site. No tenant for the office space has been named.

David B. Bresette Jr., 24, allegedly robbed a woman at about 6:15 p.m. in the parking lot of Plattsburgh Wholesale Homes on July 13, State Police said in a press release.
The woman came to the State Police barracks in Plattsburgh to report the robbery, Bureau of Criminal Investigation Investigator Matthew Dandrow told the Press-Republican earlier this week.
A State Police blotter entry lists the time the incident was reported to police as 9:54 on July 13.
The woman who was allegedly robbed was not injured, Dandrow said, although force not attributed to a weapon was used in the strong-arm robbery.
The investigator said Bresette stole undisclosed items during the robbery, but Dandrow would not say what they were.
"Anything else at this point, I think would compromise the investigation."
On Tuesday, State Police had asked media outlets to distribute Bresette's photo and a description of the robbery in the hopes they would get a tip.
At that point, Dandrow said, Bresette wasn't a suspect; police were just interested in talking with him.
The investigator said Bresette did not tell police why he surrendered himself at the State Police barracks in Plattsburgh at about 11:30 Wednesday night.
Bresette was charged with second-degree robbery, a felony.
He was arraigned before Judge Kevin Patnode in Plattsburgh Town Court and was sent to Clinton County Jail without bail due to three prior felony convictions, Dandrow said.
Bresette was arrested in October 2011 and charged with second-degree burglary and fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, both felonies, as well as possession a hypodermic instrument, a misdemeanor.
The stolen property taken from the Peru residence was valued at more than $1,000, State Police said soon after the arrest.
The burglary was reported to police in February 2011, and two other men in their early 20s were also arrested in connection with that crime.
In April 2012, Bresette was sentenced to six months in jail and five years probation after he pleaded guilty to third-degree burglary, a felony.
Then in October 2012, Bresette was arrested in connection with a January 2012 burglary on Highlands Road in the Town of Chesterfield.
He was charged with third-degree burglary. Police said an assortment of scrap metal and scrap-type items were stolen from a barn, and a parts truck was taken from outside the residence.
Then in November 2012, Plattsburgh-based State Police told the Press-Republican that Bresette and a Peru man had burglarized a bar in Chesterfield several times between June 2011 and January 2012.
The two men stole washing machines, old radiators, bed frames, scaffolding, mowers, miscellaneous tools and other materials, police said.
Bresette was scheduled to appear back in Plattsburgh Town Court Thursday evening on the robbery charge.
The investigation is ongoing, said Troop B Bureau of Criminal Investigation Lt. Brent Davison.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — To the editor:
There was once a country called the United States of America, when an entire planet respected our "nation of laws" status. The people abided by the rule of law set before them that was once a cornerstone of our existence, slowly shaped for over 200 years in order to bring justice and liberty to all Americans equally. Upon watching Sen. Rand Paul having to filibuster on behalf all Americans, in the interest of justice and liberty under the United States Constitution, specifically "due process", the days of a nation of laws are now behind us.
For well over a decade, we have seen two tiers of justice. There's one justice given to those who have power and influence, and then another system relegated to everyone else. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has defined himself recently as a facilitator of this so called two-tiered justice system. Holder apparently wants to usurp Americans' "due process" on American soil judging by his reluctance to answer outright questions regarding the constitutionality of drone strikes within our borders. Anyone who has followed Holder should know his contempt for the rule of law.
Holder also believes that executives at "too big to fail" banks are now "too big to go to jail." He believes, like ex-Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner, that prosecution of these banks would destabilize the economy and they are therefore free to commit further crimes upon the citizenry. These crimes include laundering money for drug cartels, foreclosure fraud, securities fraud and a host of other crimes they are not prosecuted for. Imagine if you, the average citizen attempted any of the aforementioned crimes?
Holder of course is not alone in this. Our own Congress, state attorneys general, and the Federal Reserve have enabled such criminal activity through legislation or policies, yet Americans keep electing the same crony politicians who enable the injustice committed upon them. Why do voters support this behavior? When these crimes are committed, they are intentional acts, to do harm to your fellow American. The rule of law was supposed to be equal for all. What kind of society do you have when those empowered to enforce the law willfully ignore it?
The American people have been under siege for far too long by too few. We have seen so much injustice inflicted upon us, our liberty stolen, and our children's futures robbed through financial socialism, and somehow Americans vote for more of it. It matters not whether you're a Democrat or Republican; they are both at fault and injustices upon the American people will continue until Americans wake up and realize what their own government is doing to them. Or, more injustice will continue, and until it happens to you it won't be realized, which of course by then, it will be too late.
Your banana republic is here. Now what are you going to do about it?

This week in rock history, Chuck Berry's novelty song reached Number One, the Band taped The Last Waltz, Mick Jagger married Jerry Hall, Freddie Mercury passed away and the Zombies reunited briefly.
November 25, 1972: Chuck Berry reaches Number One with "My Ding-a-Ling"
Chuck Berry's first and only Number One single was a pyrrhic victory, to be sure: a cornball novelty song called "My Ding-a-Ling," a far cry from his pioneering rock & roll tracks of the 1950s and 1960s. The entire track was essentially one long, drawn-out double entendre: Berry sang about a childhood toy of silver bells dangling from a string, taking clear glee in the overt sexual innuendo.
Despite going to Number One on the Billboard charts, critics and DJs loathed "My Ding-a-Ling." Indeed, it was a confounding effort from the rhythm and blues innovator who offered "Maybellene" and "Johnny B. Goode" to the world. The middle-aged Berry mockingly singing, "My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling/I want to play with my ding-a-ling" was seen as a direct affront by some, including the powerful British DJ Alan Freeman, who took to ranting against it on air; others, such as the writing staff of The Simpsons, would go on to parody its inanity.
November 25, 1976: The Band tapes The Last Waltz
The Band's farewell concert was an exceptional end to their 16-year career: a Thanksgiving day spectacle that included such friends as Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Joni Mitchell, filmed by Martin Scorsese. It is widely considered to be one of the greatest music documentaries ever made.
The Last Waltz was a visibly emotional send-off to the Band. Filmed at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, it captured the roots rockers' remarkable five-hour set, beginning with "Up on Cripple Creek" and concluding with "Don't Do It," their encore cover of the Marvin Gaye hit. In between, the Band welcomed a rotating roster of famous guest artists and jammed loosely before their sold-out crowd, who had been treated to turkey dinners prior to the show.
Scorsese later interspersed the concert footage with artist interviews; his final cut, released in 1978, influenced scores of music documentaries to follow.
November 21, 1990: Mick Jagger marries Jerry Hall
The Rolling Stones playboy and the Texan supermodel were already common-law married with two children when they formally tied the knot in 1990. Their high-profile affair had begun over a decade earlier in 1977, while Jagger was still married to his first wife, Bianca, and Hall was in a relationship with Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music.
In 1990, the globe-trotting pair flew to Bali with their son and daughter for an intimate wedding ceremony; per Indonesian tradition, it lasted several hours and called for the bride to offer her new spouse honey and yogurt. The Stones' tour director, Alan Dunn, served as best man.
After they married, rumors of Jagger's infidelities continued to plague the relationship; Jagger's alleged tryst with the model and future first lady of France, Carla Bruni, created a press fervor in 1992. In 1998, after the Brazilian model Luciana Morad named Jagger as the father of her unborn child, Hall filed for divorce; to evade the costly alimony payments, Jagger insisted that the Bali ceremony had never been legal. A British court, unable to find documentation of the ceremony, agreed with him, and Hall received an out-of-court settlement instead.

A coming storm could impact the already battered Jersey Shore, but the state Department of Environmental Protection is coordinating dumping emergency sand to help protect the shorefront.
DEP Commissioner Bob Martin said his office is in contact with shore towns establishing who has protecting berms in place and who may need emergency sand on their beaches.
Another anticipated storm surge in places without established dunes, wiped out by Hurricane Sandy, could become an issue in the forecast. Martin said his office is closely monitoring the storm.
If needed, emergency sand could be dispatched to at-risk beaches from the DEP and other agencies, Martin said.
"Whether through us, through FEMA, through the army corps of engineers, we're looking at emergency sand," Martin said at a Gov. Chris Christie press conference at Sea Girt Wednesday.
The forecast out of the Belmar-Farmingdale weather station of the National Weather Service:
Thursday: Partly sunny in the morning then mostly cloudy with a chance of flurries in the afternoon. Highs in the lower 30s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph becoming east in the afternoon.
Thursday Night: Cloudy. A chance of flurries in the evening. Then rain likely after midnight. Lows in the lower 30s. East winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation 70 percent.
Friday: Rain. Windy with highs in the mid 40s. Northeast winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent.
Friday Night: Rain in the evening then rain likely with a chance of snow after midnight. Moderate snow accumulation. Very windy with lows in the upper 20s. North winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.

The Obama administration responded to years of pressure from immigrants rights groups a few weeks ago with an announcement that it will stop deportations and begin granting work permits for some Dream Act-eligible students, the Huffington Post reported.
Some 800,000 people are expected to come forward to receive deferred action from deportation, as first reported by the Associated Press. The policy change will apply to young undocumented immigrants who entered the United States as children, along the same lines as the Dream Act, a decade-old bill that passed in the House of Representatives but failed in the Senate in 2010.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told reporters that the policy change is part of a general shift by the Obama administration to focus on deporting high-priority undocumented immigrants.
"This grant of deferred action is not immunity," Napolitano said. "It is not amnesty."
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), in a released statement, called the action "a politically-motivated power grab that does nothing to further the debate but instead adds additional confusion and uncertainty to our broken immigration system."
Novato, do you agree with President Obama's new immigration policy? Why or why not? Tell us in a comment below.

By SUZANNE MOORE News Editor
---- — ROUSES POINT — Tricia Guay and her daughter, Karissa, pounded on Paul Rowe's door just before 8 a.m. Monday, sobbing, bleeding and asking for help.
Mrs. Guay told him her husband, Randy, "'was bleeding, but I don't know where he is,'" Rowe said.
An apparent domestic incident set off the chain of events at the Guay home at 30 Priscilla Lane, two doors down from Rowe's residence.
He ushered the mother and daughter to his pickup truck and took them to North Country Medical Group in Champlain; it would be quicker than calling the ambulance, he figured.
Unaware of that situation, another neighbor, Dan Carey, spotted smoke rolling from the Guay home minutes later and hollered to his wife, Gail.
Running down the street, phone in his hand as he called 911, Mr. Carey hammered on the doors of the burning home. His wife joined him, fearing the cars in the driveway meant the family was inside.
"We wanted to go in, but it was full of smoke," Mrs. Carey said. "For a few minutes, we were very terrified.
"'Oh, my God, what if they're in there?'" was the thought repeating itself in her mind.
The normally quiet neighborhood became chaotic as others rushed from their homes, wanting to help, and as Rouses Point Volunteer Fire Department firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke rising from the garage and eaves of the house.
"We knocked it down in a hurry," Rouses Point Assistant Chief Walt Laramie said of the fire at about 9:30 a.m., while behind him firefighters worked on the porch, strips of blackened, melted siding hanging about their heads.
Fire hoses snaked down the street; yellow crime-scene tape stretched from the Guay home past Rose Deso's house next door and across the front of Rowe's home at 26 Priscilla Lane.
Laramie said he could give no other details; State Police were investigating the fire.
Suddenly a shout went up, and firefighters hustled between the Guay and Deso homes.
"Bring the ambulance," someone hollered.
Fire officials herded bystanders far up the street as the rescue truck moved slowly past. A stretcher rolled between the two homes came back with a person, swathed in white, slightly reclined on it.
"There are no indications that anybody is fatally injured," State Police Sgt. Todd St. Louis said shortly afterward.
Police wouldn't say whether the person on the stretcher was Mr. Guay.
The investigation would get moving once the fire companies were finished their work, St. Louis said.
"Safety first."
"It's so shocking," said Mary Shaughnessy, who is Rowe's girlfriend. "I like both Randy and Tricia."
She had received a call at work — the Post Office in Plattsburgh — saying Rowe's home was on fire and had sped to Rouses Point in just about 16 minutes, she said.
Relieved to find that report incorrect, she worried about Karissa, who is 12.
The girl's dog had died, Rowe said Mrs. Guay had told him.
"A little pug," Shaughnessy said. "So heartbreaking — that little girl loved that dog."
And she had heard the Guays' two cats didn't survive the fire.
A police officer took Rowe into his home through a back entrance to get his cellphone and wallet.
The house would likely remain off limits all day, the trooper told him.
Rouses Point Code Enforcement Officer Clifford Sterling filled out an order to post on the Guays' door saying the home was unsafe and that entrance was forbidden.
The house itself, he said, mostly suffered smoke damage, with the fire wreaking havoc in the basement and garage.
Quiet returned briefly to the street, broken by a rekindle at the home at about 11:30 a.m., again knocked down by firefighters.
Besides Rouses Point, fire crews responded to the first call from Champlain, Mooers, Alburgh, Vt., and Lacolle, Quebec.
According to CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh on Monday afternoon, the Guays had not been treated there.
State Police Troop B Bureau of Criminal Investigation Lt. John Coryea said no further information was available as the investigation was continuing.

From Business Today:
Citadel Broadcasting, the radio giant that owns four stations in the Buffalo Niagara region, has been sold for $2.4 billion to another radio giant, Cumulus Media. Does it mean anything if one mega-media corporation buys another mega-media corporation? Let's hope not. The four stations here are not cookie-cutter chain stations. They all have their own local flavor and style and let's hope they keep it that way. The four stations are: WGRF-FM 97 Rock, WEDG-FM 103.3 The Edge, WHTT-FM 104.1 Classic Hits and WHLD-AM Swing 1270.
National Fuel Gas Co. continues to draw protests from activists who want the company to put more money into weatherizing homes of low income customers. The protestors also want to limit the pay of company executives. The company counters that the protestors are trying to "erode the public's trust" in its conservation programs. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania officials are struggling to figure out how much "frack water" from natural gas wells is actually being recycled after Seneca Resources Corp., a National Fuel Gas subsidiary, made a mistake in telling the state how much water it recycled. The state misinterpreted the volume, and assumed 42 times the water was being recycled.
Buffalo Niagara home prices have been rising at a time when prices across the country have been falling. That's a nice feeling.
Who is getting hired, promoted and honored?
On the radio? You bet!
Radio heads, gas again, home prices rise...

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolinas three-year home unbeaten streak in soccer ended Friday night, and the stakes couldnt have been higher.
Indiana got a 60th-minute goal from Eriq Zavaleta, and the 16th-seeded Hoosiers weathered a furious late-game rally by the ninth-seeded Tar Heels to post a 1-0 victory in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Mens Soccer Championship.
The loss to Indiana, before a raucous crowd of 4,352, ended a 40-game unbeaten streak at home for the Tar Heels, who hadnt lost at Fetzer Field since a 3-0 defeat by Akron on Sept. 3, 2010. Akron won the NCAA championship that year.
The Hoosiers (14-5-3) will advance to the College Cup, soccers final four, at Hoover, Ala., where they will play in Fridays semifinals against either Creighton or Connecticut.
The Tar Heels (16-4-3), who won the 2011 championship, were denied their fifth straight College Cup trip. This was the third meeting in four years for the Tar Heels and Hoosiers in the NCAA tournament. Indianas victory snapped a three-game losing streak in the series, all in NCAA tournament play in 2001, 2009 and 2011.
It feels great to finally get over that hump, said Indiana senior goalkeeper Luis Soffner, who played in all of those games. Being here in 09 and last year, we know this is not an easy place to play.
To go on the road and beat (No. 1 seed) Notre Dame and UNC, they certainly deserve it, Tar Heels coach Carlos Somoano said. We played a pretty good game. We did most of the things we wanted to do. But in the end the plays that matter are in the box.
We know it hasnt been easy for us to score goals. It caught us tonight, but it wasnt for lack of trying.
The Tar Heels actually outshot the Hoosiers 13-6, 4-0 in the first half. It took Indiana 55 minutes before it even registered a shot, and the Hoosiers didnt have any in the final 27 minutes. But Zavaleta, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound sophomore, made one count for his 18th goal of the season.
UNC lost possession at the top of the penalty area, and Patrick Doody won the ball for the Hoosiers and got in a cross from the left side. Zavaletas header was initially saved by a sprawling Tar Heels goalkeeper Scott Goodwin, but the rebound went right back to Zavaleta, who headed it into an open net at 59:17.
Theyve given up six goals, now seven goals, all year, Zavaleta said. We knew maybe one goal wins this game.
The goal ended a lengthy dry spell for the Hoosiers. They hadnt scored against UNC since the second half of their 2000 meeting, a span of five games and 366 minutes.
It looked to me like the cross was going over Jonathan Campbell and their guy (Zavaleta), Goodwin said. I misread it it was a bad decision on my part. I was backtracking, got my hand on the first (header), but it went right back to him.
The Tar Heels stepped up the pressure late, when they peppered the goal area with eight of their shots in the final 12 minutes.
Somoano even added 6-1 Josh Rice to the front-line mix as a target player, trying to create a scoring opportunity.
However, Soffner had to make only one soft second-half save en route to his 10th shutout of the season. He finished with three saves, as did Goodwin.
In the last 15 minutes we were going a little more direct, Somoano said. We went with a bigger guy who can do that. We literally put everybody who scored a goal this season on the field at the end.
