New Castle News
One postseason journey ended successfully for the New Castle High boys basketball team on Saturday.
A second — and even bigger one — is about to begin for the Red Hurricane.
At 3 p.m. tomorrow, New Castle will embark on a journey toward a PIAA Class AAAA championship against Gateway at North Allegheny High School. The 'Canes have never won a state championship in boys basketball.
Last week, New Castle won its second straight WPIAL championship, capturing gold in Class AAAA. Last year, the 'Canes won the Class AAA title. New Castle became the first WPIAL program to win consecutive basketball championships competing in different classifications as well as going undefeated en route to the crown two years in a row.
"I gave them two days off after the championship game," 'Canes coach Ralph Blundo said. "We had a good practice on Tuesday and a solid scrimmage against West Middlesex on Wednesday.
"The guys know what's at stake and how to address it. I don't think I need to tell them what's in front of us. Their work ethic has been great. The opportunity they have is once in a lifetime. We'll be prepared. We'll work hard and do the best we can."
New Castle has strung together consecutive 26-0 campaigns which spanned the regular season through the WPIAL championship game each of the past two seasons. The 'Canes finished 27-1 last season.
"We haven't spoke about the championship in three days. Everything we do is geared for preparing for Gateway at this point."
New Castle knocked off the Gators (16-6), 87-55, on Feb. 23 at Ambridge in the WPIAL quarterfinals. The win ended Gateway's two-year WPIAL reign as Class AAAA champions.
"They're a great team," said Gators coach Mitch Adams, who is in his eighth season at the helm. "Their record indicates it.
"It's not very easy to win a title, let alone go undefeated. It's a tribute to the program Ralph has built and to the kids. For us, it's an opportunity to win a state playoff game."
This is the Gators' fourth straight trip to the state playoffs.
Adams feels the 'Canes enter the rematch with a decided advantage.
"They're the WPIAL champions," Adams said. "I knew the last two years, because we won the WPIAL title, that the team you beat in the quarterfinals, you'll play them again in the state playoffs.
"There's no question it's a whole new season now. We have expectations here. I really think my guys are hungry after they beat us. There hasn't been too many Quad-A teams in the state playoffs four years in a row."
Deon Cottrell-Baker, a 6-foot-5 senior guard/forward, leads Gateway in scoring at 12.9 points a game. A reserve, Cottrell-Baker was shut down in the quarterfinals against New Castle, netting just six points.
"He's a big, strong, athletic kid," Blundo said. "He's a really good basketball player; he's a load for us. We have to keep him off the glass."
Jordan Landfair, a 6-3 senior lefthanded guard, tossed in a team-high 16 points in the quarterfinals. Landfair averages 6.5 points a game.
"He was really active against us," Blundo said. "He's really long. He catches it on the block and he did a great job of finishing."
Delvon Randall, a 6-1 junior guard, was next behind Landfair with 11 points against the 'Canes.
Dennis Boyce, a 5-11 senior guard, ranks second on the Gators in scoring at 12 markers a contest. Foul trouble limited Boyce against New Castle and he finished with just four points. Boyce tossed in 23 points with eight steals for Gateway in a WPIAL first-round playoff win over Kiski.
"Boyce has been starting at point guard for them for four years," Blundo said. "He's comfortable in big games."
Blundo knows his team will get the Gators' best shot tomorrow.
"I think both teams are understanding the magnitude of this game, he said. "Both teams have the exact same goal and that's to win a state championship. You want to play the best basketball you can this time of year."
Shawn Anderson, a 6-3 senior guard/forward and Navy recruit, paces New Castle in scoring at 20.5 points a game. He's second in the county in scoring behind Neshannock's Ernie Burkes (21.1 ppg.).
"On film, you don't get to see how good that kid is," Adams said. "He's very explosive and dynamic; he's the glue that's held them together."
Anderson tossed in a game-high 26 points in the first meeting against the Gators despite being in foul trouble in the first half.
"He got a lot of putbacks against us," Adams said. "They do a lot of dribble drive and they'll kick it to him. We left him alone and we didn't want to."
Anderson is averaging 8.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.4 steals a game. Blundo recognized the importance of Anderson staying out of foul trouble.
"Our best player needs to be on the floor," Blundo said. "The longer you can keep your best guys on the floor the better.
"Shawn is one of the best players in the WPIAL and we need to keep him on the floor."
Malik Hooker, a 6-2 junior guard/forward, follows Anderson at 16.7 points, 7.9 boards, three steals and 2.7 assists a matchup.
Anthony Richards, a 5-9 junior guard, nets 9.6 points a game to go with a county-best 68 3-pointers. Brandon Domenick, a 5-9 senior point guard and Gannon recruit, chips in nine markers a game to go with 58 3-pointers.
Domenick owns the program's all-time record for 3-pointers made with 196.
"Hooker is a great athlete," Adams said of Hooker. "They have the complete package, especially with their guards. Domenick is a legitimate point guard. He's very good at ballhandling.
"Watching film the past couple of days, it's hard to find a weakness with them."
Four players reached double figures for the 'Canes in their win over Gateway.
"It's hard to defend any one of them," Adams said. "When you try to shut one down, someone else comes alive.
"We would like to try to limit that balance. But you try to stop one, and another one lights it up. And then another one. That was very difficult for us. They had hands in their face and they still were lighting it up against us."
New Castle's 32-point win over Gateway was typical of how the team has finished off opponents all season long. The 'Canes forced 17 turnovers, while turning it over just seven times. And New Castle shot 52.5 percent (32 of 61) from the field compared to 42.6 percent (23 of 54) for the Gators.
"We have to take care of the ball," Adams said. "We must limit their shooting by challenging each and every shot. We have to play good defense."
New Castle held just a 28-26 advantage on the glass in the prior meeting with Gateway.
"We have to keep them off the glass. That can be their best offense," Blundo said. "We have to guard them well and contest every shot; we need to execute on the offensive end, too."
The winner moves on to the second round and will meet the survivor of the State College-North Allegheny matchup Wednesday.

The Meridian Star
Picking the Golden Apple Teacher of the Month from numerous nominations is never easy, but the task in November was made a little easier when 20 students nominated the same teacher.
As Michael Reed, owner of the Meridian Family of TV Stations, addressed an assembly of seventh and eighth grade students at Northeast Lauderdale County Middle School recently, he told them to guess who was being honored by listening to some of the nominations he read aloud.
Applause erupted as soon as Reed mentioned that this teacher uses songs in her classroom. Students of Kathy Moody, a pre-algebra teacher, knew she had been selected as teacher of the month.
One student wrote: "She makes the classwork and homework much easier for her students. When someone doesn't understand what she is doing ... she makes up stories and tells us, make songs, and she even tells real stories about her life as a child to help us understand what could happen if we didn't pay attention in class ... She is very nice patient and gentle."
Another student wrote: "She made learning fun. She would help us memorize things by making them into a song and she would dance to them. (She) would make us do a lot of work but it was simple things that made it easy, but we were learning a lot. That is how I got to be in the honors math."
That student has observed another very important thing about Moody: "She loves what she is doing too."
That's exactly what Moody said during an interview following the presentation of the Golden Apple Award, which comes with a trophy, a check for $300, and a voucher for $1,000 in school supplies.
"I was just shocked and overwhelmed and full of emotion," Moody said of the moment she realized she was getting the award. She knew it was her when they mentioned singing in the classroom.
"I felt like that had to be me when the singing was mentioned and I was really humbled by it and overwhelmed by it. I'm truly not one who likes attention, believe it or not. I like to go in my classroom and do my job," Moody said. "It was just very touching to think that that many students thought enough of me to nominate me. I truly can't put it into words. I never would have dreamed that."
As her former student noted, Moody enjoys what she's doing and she was shocked to realize that so many of her students and former students had nominated her.
"I teach because I love it. This is my 36th year and I still enjoy coming to school every day. It's my passion. It's my love," Moody said. "You can ask my family. They'll tell you that I don't do anything else very well, but I love teaching and I hope I do a good job because it is my passion. I feel like it's my calling and my God-given gift."
She said she chose the teaching profession because she loves being around children and because it's different every year.
"You get a new group of students to work with and it changes every year," she said. "Young people are so eager to learn. I love teaching math."
Moody started out as an elementary education teacher, but later learned that she loved teaching children in seventh and eighth grades.
"I like to make it interesting. I can't stand for it to be boring. That's why I like to put the songs into it and make it fun," Moody said. "They have told me that they like coming in there because it is fun. I like to throw the songs in and make it to where they like coming to class. I think if they like coming in there, they'll listen and learn better."
Moody said she has been told that her background as an elementary school teacher has contributed to her ability to explain math to her students. Singing, dancing, telling stories — anything to add a little life to pre-algebra — is what Moody aims for.
"They're middle-schoolers and I have a lot to compete with, video games, technology, so anything that can make it more interesting to them. It has evolved over the years," she said.
Moody said she remembers the best teachers she had and the worst teachers she had.
"Both the best and the worst have made me the teacher I am today."
Moody said her philosophy can be summed up very simply.
"An older teacher told me one thing one time that I have kept with me and it's true," Moody said. "Students don't care what you know unless they know that you care. Forget all the singing, dancing whatever. If they don't know that you care about them, they don't care what you know. That's true."
Although many things have changed over the last three decades of her teaching career, many things are the same.
"Basically, kids are still kids. Just like when I started teaching. I think that's true more than anything," Moody said. "We do have to compete with more things like video games and all, but we might as well deal with it and do what we can to be successful."
Billy Burnham, principal of Northeast Lauderdale Middle School, had high praise for his award-winning teacher.
"Mrs. Moody is successful because of what would make any person successful at their job," Burnham said. "She has a great skill set for teaching, she has a passion for it. She knows her outcome — in this case — student achievement. She will do absolutely anything to make it happen."
Test results bear that out, Burnham said.
"Mrs. Moody had the highest growth rate in our school this year on the state tests and the highest growth rate in the district in middle schools," he said.

For local builder Aaron Grenchik, old newspapers aren't something to toss out, particularly if they've lain flat under a Ninth Street house's floor boards for at least 70 years.
"They're so interesting and a hoot to read because of the writing style and the way people talked then," he said. "Each story in them could be an article in itself today."
That's why Grenchik, owner of Williamsburg Construction & Design Group, never discarded four 1920s Record-Eagles and five Detroit Free Press editions he found a decade ago while remodeling a local house.
Front page headlines from four 1928 Record-Eagle editions still lure:
"Boardman River Menacing Today"
"Beulah Awaits Annual Smelt Hordes in Creek."
"Easter Travel Tough"
"Reveals Gruesome Tale of Ku Klux Krimes: Rottenness related "¦ ."
The stories offer glimpses into the life, politics and vernacular of the 1920s, an era when cars and radio changed the face and speech patterns of America, when Prohibition, bootlegging and gangsters danced full swing, and people left farms for jobs in the nation's factory cities.
Saturday, April 7, 1928 was a busy news day for the Record-Eagle.
Heavy spring rainstorms stomped across the state, churning Michigan's gravel state highways into impassable Easter weekend mud bogs for drivers of cars and trucks built in Detroit.
In Traverse City, sand bags had been piled along the sides of the old Hannah Lay dam, now known as Union Street Dam.
—¦ (B)ut ever should the water overflow the parapet, it would do no immediate harm," the Record-Eagle told readers.
Silver treasure from Crystal Lake
In Beulah, about 355 people from many towns and cities as far away as Chicago, Dayton and Detroit gathered along Cold Creek on Friday night in a chilling downpour for the village's smelt run, already in its eighth day. About 10 p.m. someone turned on lights strung over Cold Creek and the public smelt dipping began, the Record-Eagle reported. In the morning, conservation officers divvied up about 1,400 pounds of the little silver fish to give to the faithful.
"A few thousand smelt will probably shiver past the ice floe at the mouth of the creek, but hundreds of thousands more may forego the nightly migration until assured of warmer water," the paper reported.
The Atlantic smelt was not native to Cold Creek. Smelt were introduced into the Great Lakes on April 6, 1912, when 16.4 million eggs were planted in Crystal Lake. The first run into Cold Creek occurred in 1918. By 1927, smelt enthusiasts "left $10,000 with Beulah businesses."
The second rise of the "100 percent American" Ku Klux Klan in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan during the early 1920s was losing steam, thanks to the 1928 Pulitzer prize-winning reporting of the Indianapolis Tribune.
The Klan was not dead, though. A grisly murder trial for one-time Indiana Grand Dragon D.C. Stephenson still grabbed headlines.
Grenchik's five 1925 Detroit papers mirrored other signs of the times in 1920s Michigan.
"Is America becoming Woman Ruled?" a headline on a 1925 women's rights story asked. Women had won the right to vote in national and state elections only five years before.
Among Grenchik's collection is an almost perfectly preserved supplement advertising Graham-Paige cars. The company was founded in 1927 and was a competitor with Ford and other car producers. It ceased car production in 1940.
Love of history, items from the past
Grenchik learned about the Graham Brothers and their car company from a Michigan history book his parents kept on a living room table when he was young.
He attributed his interest in history — as well as tools and machines of the past — to that book and stories he heard as a boy from his grandparents, great-grandparents and neighbor Bud Lauterhahn, who died in 2000 at age 89.
Bud had played stand-up bass at the Park Place in Traverse City, Detroit, Grand Rapids and other places around the state. He knew Les Paul, the American jazz, country and blues guitarist/songwriter who invented the solid-body electric guitar, that made the sound of rock and roll possible. He had an old Victrola and records.
"I liked talking to him," Grenchik said. "He knew so much and I always learned a lot."
Grenchik stored the newspapers in his office for many years but now wants to preserve them, possibly by framing them, and also determine whether there is any outside interest in them.
He said he knew as soon as he saw them — packed away as insulation under sub flooring — that they were important.
"They easily could have ended up in the garbage," he said. "I'm thankful I found them and that someone put them there so carefully."
What has he learned from history?
"It puts things into perspective," Grenchik said. "Progress and evolution happened throughout the past and they're still happening today. So it doesn't hurt to be a dreamer. You're the one who makes the decisions today. The best thing to do is not to repeat the mistakes of the past."

We booked on-line several days before, Unfortunately, when we arrived at the restaurant we were informed (in a rude and very snooty fashion) that the afternoon tea was not available... When we informed the staff that we had booked in advance on line, we were told that on-line doesn't count!!! Only by phoning in advance can one book the afternoon tea.... If on-line doesn't count why do you have that option on your site??? If you aren't interested in serving tourists and visitors who come to your fair city-mention this specifically on your site "Tourists aren't welcome" We most definitely will never, EVER even try to eat at your restaurant!!

A new state of the art research scanner has made it's way to the UVA Medical Center. The $2 million MRI machine will aid doctors researching cardiovascular disease. Doctors hope the machine will better help them diagnose and treat research patients experiencing chest pains or heart failure.
The MRI uses parallel imaging, which allows information to be taken from different areas at the same time. That makes it faster than other machines. Doctors hope it will shed more light on conditions like heart failure.
"This allows us to do research studies with patients during working hours and allows us to really push the field," said director of cardiac MRI at UVA, Dr. Christopher Kramer.
The new machine is believed to be the only MRI dedicated to cardiovascular research in Virginia.

Strong Pitching, 25-Hit Attack Propel Valpo To Doubleheader Sweep of Chicago State
Friday, May 21, 2004Valparaiso, Ind. - Eric Brauer tossed a complete-game, three-hit victory in the second game and Tom Starck and Adam Knobel combined for a victory in the first game as Valpo swept a doubleheader from Chicago State by scores of 5-2 and 8-3.
Jeff Rickert, who had four hits in the first game, went 5-for-9 with two RBIs in the twinbill. Kevin Kutansky went 3-for-4 in the nightcap and finished the day 4-for-7 with two RBIs. Mike Arensdorf (two RBIs) and Brian Rzepka (one RBI) had three hits in the doubleheader. Kevin Perri belted a solo homer in the second game - his fourth of the season.
In the first game, Valpo took a 2-0 lead in the second when Rzepka tripled home Tyler Lowell, who had singled with two outs. Rickert then plated Rzepka with a single.
Starck (5-8) held Chicago State scoreless until the fifth when the Cougars pushed across two runs on Bryan Packard's single.
Valpo (19-33, 10-12 Mid-Con) regained the lead in the bottom of the fifth. Perri and Kutansky singled to lead off the frame and Colin Reynolds hit an RBI groundout, scoring Perri.
The Crusaders, who had 14 hits in the game, added two insurance runs in the seventh. Kutansky hammered an RBI double, scoring Arensdorff who had doubled. Eddie Hannan delivered a two-out, RBI single to give Valpo a 5-2 lead.
Starck, who pitched 7 1/3 innings, allowed two runs and four hits, while striking out 10 and yielding four walks. Knobel hurled the final 1 2/3 innings to earn his sixth save.
In the second game, Brauer's pitching and the Crusaders' offense set the tone. A junior righthander, Brauer shut out the Cougars through five innings.
Valpo scored two in the first on Kutansky's RBI double and Matt Augustine's sacrifice fly. Hannan's two-run single in the third and Perri's solo shot to left in the fifth increased the lead to 5-0.
After Chicago State (7-51, 4-18) scored one run in the sixth, Valpo added three more in the bottom of the frame. Rickert singled home one run and Arensdorff added a two-run single.
The Cougars, who loaded the bases in the seventh, scored one run on a hit-by-pitch and another on a double-play ball to pull within 8-3.
Brauer (4-1) allowed three runs and three hits, while fanning two and walking two in 7 innings.
Valpo hosts Chicago State in another doubleheader on Saturday beginning at noon. The result could determine whether Valpo will qualify for the Mid-Con Tournament May 27-29 in Shreveport, La.
Prior to Saturday's first game, seniors Eddie Hannan, Troy Garrett, Adam Paeztnick and Tom Starck will be recognized.

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) are nurses specially trained to provide care to people who have been sexually assaulted. They are also specially trained to collect evidence that may be used in a prosecution of the assault, if the victim chooses to have evidence collected and chooses to go forward with a prosecution.
SANE Sites are hospitals that can request a SANE nurse when a person reports in the Emergency Department that they have been sexually assaulted. Upon entering the ED, a SANE exam is offered to patients who have been assaulted within the previous 5 days or 120 hours.

Residents of Parker County are invited to participate in the Parker County Courthouse Christmas Lighting Ceremony set for 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 30.
In an effort to help fundraising for this year's courthouse Christmas decorations, Parker County Judge Mark Riley is offering residents the opportunity to sponsor a battery-operated candle for $20 to be placed in the courthouse windows in honor or memory of a loved one.
Each candle sponsor, along with the name of the person the candle is dedicated to, will be listed in the program for the lighting ceremony.
In addition, all names will be placed in the Commissioners Court minutes for permanent record and the candles will be used for years to come in honor or memory of your loved one. "The courthouse is special to me and to this community," Riley said. "The response to the lighting of the courthouse with stars and a 30-foot tree has been exciting. The citizens committee I appointed to lead this project has done an excellent job."
Those who would like to sponsor a candle can do so by contacting Judge Riley at email@example.com or by calling his office at 817-598-6148 and speaking with any member of his staff.
Riley has been working with a local citizens committee to bring back the beautiful Christmas look of the Parker County Courthouse that was once a common theme for this historic building during the Christmas holiday season.
"Throughout Texas and especially here in Parker County our courthouses are a direct window into our heritage," Riley said. "Our courthouse, the crown jewel as I like to call it, is a reminder to everyone who sees it of not only who we were as a community, but who we are as a community. What we do today with our courthouse will help shape what we will become in the future."

May Pitchers Report
0 Reply | 283 ViewsOn 05/07/2013 07:51 AM in MLB
May 1, 2013
By Marc Lawrence
The running of the Kentucky Derby each year signals the fact that MLB enters its 2nd month of play. And with it a handful of surprise teams take center stage. The key to sustaining will be the success, or lack of it, from the pitching staffs. With that thought in mind, let's zero in on pitchers that will look to keep their team in the race and those that may pull up before they hit the wire.
Listed below are hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team starts the last three seasons during the month of May. On the flip side, we've also listed pitchers that struggle in May team starts, winning 33% percent or less of their efforts. To qualify pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each May over the last three years.
I'll be back next month with June's Good Month Pitchers. Until then, it's batter up!
Buchholz, Clay (12-5)
The Boston right-hander has gotten off to the best start of his career, averaging better than a strikeout per inning and opponents are hitting under .200 against him. Being united with former pitching coach and now skipper of Boston John Farrell has sharpened his focus, added sink to his fastball and made his changeup downright filthy.
Buehrle, Mark (11-4)
For the second year in a row, the veteran left-hander is on a new club with big expectations who has not gotten out of the gate. Buehrle has been a part of the problem in Toronto, since he has to spot his pitches to make up for the lack of velocity and right-handed hitters are batting well over .300 against him. If the Blue Jays are going to turn their season around, Buehrle has to pitch like he has in the past this month.
Cueto, Johnny (11-5)
Cueto suffered a strained right lat muscle on April 13 and went on the DL. At the end of April, he began tossing from distances up to 75 feet. No official word has been given when he will return. The Reds ace had gotten off to a very strong start.
Gonzalez, Gio (13-3)
After winning 21 games in 2012, the Washington lefty started this season slowly, but appears to be rounding into form. Gonzalez is a sturdy strikeout pitcher with a mid-to-low 90's fastball that tails away from right-hand hitters and he likes to go up in the zone with this pitch when ahead in the count. He will freeze LH batters with a tightly spun curve, which drops from above the belt to below the knees.
Hamels, Cole (15-2)
The Phillies best pitcher recorded his first win of the season on Apr. 28 and brighter days are ahead for Hamels. His low-90's heater is almost always down in the zone and his changeup is a true swing and miss pitch, baffling opposing hitters. His walks are up so far in 2013 and if he improves his overall command, this May should be like many others of the past.
Johnson, Josh (12-3)
JJ was a scratched from his last April start because of tightness in his right triceps muscle. An MRI did not reveal any structural damage. Johnson has annually been a fast starter and Toronto need the 6'7 Minneapolis native to be the dominant pitcher he was from 2008-10, not the one everyone has seen since.
Lester, Jon (12-6)
Here is another BoSox hurler who has battled back from a mediocre campaign to help Boston's surprisingly effective start. Opposing hitters are scuffling to hit .214 against Lester's tosses and the familiar two and four-seam fastballs have the plus and minus effect in the range of five miles per hour, leaving batters uncomfortable. The biggest change is the curveball has the snap back and he could have another sparkling May.
Peavy, Jake (11-4)
No question the 31-year old Peavy is all the way back. The former San Diego chucker has lost velocity from his blazing fastball of a few years ago; however, he's made the complete transition to the second part of career. His K-rate is phenomenal and his ability to spot pitches is a thing of beauty. Some might complain he is taken deep too often, but are their two more different parks than Petco and U.S. Cellular for fly-ball pitchers?
Fister, Doug (4-12)
Fister played on a number of bad Seattle clubs before joining Detroit in 2011. Since taking residence in Mo-Town, the 6'8 hurlerr with a clean delivery has quit nibbling and gained confidence in his curve, which has become his main swing and miss pitch. It is worth watching to see if he breaks his past tendencies in baseball's second month.
Garza, Matt (3-10)
Garza was supposed to be one of the fixtures in the Cubs starting rotation, but was hurt in Spring Training and is only now throwing on flat ground. The earliest he is expected to return is at the end of this month and some in the Chicago organization think this is optimistic.
Hernandez, Felix (5-12)
In the years we have been doing this article, it has always been a head-scratcher why King Felix struggles in May. But every year like most pitchers, Hernandez has a rough patch and more often than not it is this month. With Seattle only having nine home games in May, we could see another repeat from Felix.
Jackson, Edwin (5-13)
This much-traveled hurler, who was born in Germany, has never found a home and settled in. Jackson "stuff" has always been good enough to make somebody's big league roster, yet even when he threw a no-hitter in 2010 for Arizona against Tampa Bay (who else?), he walked eight batters. On a subpar Cubs crew, victories will again be a challenge to find.
Masterson, Justin (5-13)
Though Masterson was lit up in his final April appearance, he's gotten off a solid start this campaign. The question for the side-arm thrower is can he keep it going? Typically, walks are Masterson's undoing and opponents start patiently lying off pitches and force him to throw strikes and belt him around. This was the year Cleveland was to start showing promise and the Tribe needs their ace to have a chance.
Richard, Clayton (5-10)
Richard has always been a tease who never delivered. The port-sider will put together two or three starts and his coaches will think "he's finally figured it out" and then he will be rocked for the next trio of starts, taking him back to square one. With a 7.94 ERA this season and more walks than punch-outs (13 vs. 10), possibly the most damning aspect of his season to date is left-handed hitters are batting a ridiculous .364 against the Padres starter.

This news comes as a surprise to no one; in fact, even though it wasn't yet official, I was tempted to go ahead and state it as a fact in my postgame report earlier today. The Bulldogs earned the No. 6 national seed and went 3-0 through their regional. If that isn't enough to earn you the right to be one of eight super regional hosts, I don't know what is. The 11th-seeded Baylor Bears will visit the Classic City for the best-of-three series starting next Saturday. Go 'Dawgs!
This one comes from the other side of the aisle. Go 'Dawgs!
Congratulations to the Georgia women's softball team! Go 'Dawgs!
Sixth-seeded Georgia will host eleventh-seeded California in Athens for next weekend's NCAA softball super regional. Go 'Dawgs!

This event has been marked mature level 1 due to the following, "weeds".
Champion monkeyface eeler, and star intertidal tour guide, Kirk Lombard leads an entertaining and educational low-tide fishing class along San Francisco's shoreline. Lombard will let you in on the tricks of the urban fishing trade, like catching rock crabs, throwing a Hawaiian casting net, poke poling for flavorful eels, and where to find the best mussel beds and edible sea weeds. This tour will last approximately two-and-a-half-hour tour, and will combine science, history and gastronomy.
It is important to note that this is a class/tour not a guided fishing/foraging trip. No one in the class is allowed to forage or fish while the class is in session.
The meet location is at the stone lighthouse on the St. Francis Jetty. The nearest physical address is 1 Yacht Rd., 94123. But the meet location is not at that address. It's at the lighthouse. To get there enter the St Francis parking area (Yacht Road off of Marina Blvd), and keep bearing to the right. Ignore the signs that say "No parking beyond this point." And to drive right up to the lighthouse to park. Kirk will meet you there.

I know ALOT of furians will be SO FREAKING EXCITED to come to teefury today. holy smurf this might cause a riot how sweet this shirt is. for those that were neglected as children, this is a Zelda design. the pyramids are a triforce, the Triforce of Wisdom, Triforce of Power and Triforce of Courage. Each possessing their own goddess. Im sure someone walking down the street wouldnt get this design just by walking by you, unless they were familiar with it.
regardless, that does not make this design MOOT. its a GREAT design, so well done, and very exciting! i know alot of people that have been waiting for a Zelda shirt, and this delivers. its nice to see the guys getting the light brown colour as well! i see teefury has really been branching out on its colour choices, and you dont see me complaining about this!

lazytulip said 216 weeks agoVery nice, love the colors!
But I have to say that the side-art is amazzzzzing!
'Grats on the print Mathijs! \(^_^)/
ddiabolical said 216 weeks agoi hate girls shirts but i definitely will be getting it in girls since banana is a much better colour choice for the design, imo

camig86 said 216 weeks agoLove love love LOVE! OoT is just about my favorite game ever and I just started windwaker again for kicks last week. Brilliant "link to the past" play.

Shlomo Carlebach: What's Wrong With This Picture
3 comments:
What are you talking about that his music was banned? I'm not a fan of his or follower, but I know his music was not "banned".
- September 20, 2012
- The Awareness Center, Inc. said...
Shlomo Carlebach's music was banned by Rav Moshe Feinstein back in 1959 as a way of hopefully prevent Carlebach from offending any more women.

Orange County educators were directing parents and guardians to information on how to talk to their children about the mass killing Friday at a Connecticut elementary school, and some school officials were beefing up counseling to prepare students when they return to classes Monday.
Orange County Department of Education officials coached school officials to help parents find information on websites that will assist them when children inquire about the Connecticut rampage.
"Most districts are pushing folks to our websites,'' said Arthur Cummins, administrator of safe and healthy schools for the Orange County Department of Education.
The fast-moving nature of the violence in Connecticut did not give
educators time to put together handouts for parents, many school districts sent emails to parents.
"Although there is no absolute guarantee that something bad will never happen, it is important to understand the difference between the possibility of something happening and probability that it will affect our school community," Laguna Beach Unified Superintendent Sherine Smith said in a message to parents.
"Senseless violence is hard for everyone to understand. Doing things that you enjoy, sticking to your normal routine and being with friends and family help make children feel better and keep them from worrying about the event," she advised.
Capistrano Unified School District Superintendent Joseph Farley said the district is sending emails to parents that direct them to online information.
"First and foremost, it expresses our sympathy to those who have been impacted by the events in Connecticut, but it also gives parents a website where they can find information and coaching on what to talk to their kids about and some things they can think about in terms of kids safety," Farley said.
That conversation is critical, Cummins said.
"The message to parents, and this comes from research, is to really limit the viewing of television about this, especially for younger children," Cummins said. "This is what we learned from Columbine and 9/11."
Parents should also reassure their children that "they're in a safe place'' and then ask "probing questions" about they feel, Cummins said.
"From there, let the children know those are normal reactions to these kinds of abnormal events and they can expect to get better over time,'' Cummins said.
At Los Alamitos Unified, which serves Los Al and Seal Beach students, counselors are standing by to help parents with the conversation, reported Superintendent Sherri Kroop.
School administrators, staff and teachers are sharing in the students' pain, being "deeply saddened" by the events, Kroop said.
Laguna Beach's Smith had these words for parents:
"Sometimes people do horrible things and hurt others. They may be unable to handle their anger, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or suffering from mental illness. It is important to share with your children that parents, teachers, police officers, doctors and faith leaders work very hard to get those people help and keep them from hurting others."
Meanwhile, Orange County school officials were preparing for the days
ahead as more news about the shooting unfolds, Cummins said.
"Monday morning and through next week, schools will be meeting about
hosting conversations so children can continue to ventilate,'' Cummins said.
Throughout the last 10 years, school officials in Orange County have trained thousands of nurses, counselors and psychologists on how to handle these types of crises, Cummins said.
"There's a lot of expertise out there across Orange County,'' Cummins said.
At Capistrano Unified, school officials regularly go through simulation drills to prepare for a campus shooting, Farley said.
Those types of drills have become a priority in Orange County schools,
Cummins said.
"Those schools that have active, simulated-emergency drills, whether it's an earthquake or an active shooter, the adults become more proficient and,
from a psychological standpoint, they become responders instead of victims
because they've practiced,'' Cummins said.
For more tips on how to talk to children about the shooting, see this Patch story. venice.patch.com/articles/elementary-school-shooting

Snow cones bring me full circle
Maybe this is simply a nostalgia piece from a guy over 60 who grew up in a small Southern town with not very many stoplights. Maybe these are modest reflections from a son with an almost 99-year-old mother. How can I talk about the good old days of the 1950s when her razor-sharp memory still channels the 1920s as though they were yesterday?
But I want to try, so here's my story.
In my day, there were two sources of snow cones: In a Southern summer without soccer, basketball, lacrosse and every other sport claiming a spot on the calendar, there was baseball. I attended more than a few popular semi-professional games: more-than-makeshift stadiums, uniformed players, and not a legal beer anywhere to be had. I also played Little League and watched Little League games when not playing. Snow cones were what both had in common.
Besides baseball, the other snow cone venue was the county fair, or if you had a 4-H or farmer relative, the State Fair. For a kid on those hot, sultry nights at the fair with the fragrance of grease in the air, the music and buzz of the midway, and the whirling lights of the merry-go-round and Ferris wheel, nothing satisfied more than a snow cone. Grape, cherry, orange, lime: those were the choices.
The other evening, a couple of minutes from my house, I encountered a modern festival of folks of all ages. There was an airy, almost carnival-like feeling moving through the crowd. No one fussed. The reward was clearly worth the wait. Decisions came easily and with gasps of enthusiasm and anticipation. Patiently, a slow line moved to its inevitable result: a shaved ice rendition of a former snow cone in more than 100 flavor options.
The hour for closing came and went. If the employees were wishing the customers to disappear into the heat of the night, the owners were surely celebrating. How many places have you been to lately where friendly hordes were still sipping and slushing non-alcoholic treats well past the appointed hour?
I may not have been the oldest one in the crowd, although I didn't spot any peers. I am sure that many present, young and old of different races and ethnicities, have had snow cone or shaved ice experiences at Myrtle Beach or at other vacation venues. Yet, here we were in Fort Mill, still a Southern town with not that many stoplights, and I wondered to myself: does anyone know that snow cones were once a great treat in a less air-conditioned world, and that they came in only a very few flavors?

The Energy Detective TED 5000 Home Electricty Monitor Kits
What is TED?
When you want to lose weight, you track your changes with a scale. When you ride in a taxi, you monitor your ride with the taxi meter. When you want to track electricity, you save with The Energy Detective (TED). TED is an in-home electricity monitor that provides real-time data in an easy-to-understand manner. TED permanently installs in your breaker panel and gives you instant feedback on your electricity usage.
How does TED work?
TED quickly and easily installs in your home's breaker panel. By connecting two sensor clamps around the incoming power conductors that feed your panel, TED measures the flow of electricity within your home. Information is sent over existing electrical wiring in the home to the compact wall-plug Gateway. You can then view real-time data on the wireless display or via a computer and/or smartphone.
How Does TED Save?
The Energy Detective has a variety of features to help consumers save electricity around the home.
Wireless Display
Use the optional wireless handheld display (available with all "C-model" units) to instantly discover phantom loads, check usage of individual appliances, and see the difference turning a switch on/off really makes. Instantly and conveniently view real-time electricity usage, voltage, and your projected monthly bill.
Text/Email Alerts
Use TED Advisor, a Footprints Software-based program that allows you to receive instant text message/email alerts, based on user-defined parameters. Whether you want to receive one text message a month when you are about to exceed your budget, or a daily text message stating your highest voltage reading for the day, you have the power to set what you want, when you want it.
Footprints Software
Use TED's interactive Footprints Software (embedded in all TED units) to chart and graph usage, view historical data and trends, set up TED Advisor text messaging/e-mail alerts, enter local utility-rate information, and create load profiles for individual appliances. Easily export data!

Product brochures
Product manuals
Really accurate
The Bad:
The Bottom Line:
Would recommend to others
This unit does everything it promises.
The Bad:
After an electricity outing I could not get my footprints back and had to look for a new link.
The Bottom Line:
Highly recommended
Instalation was relatively easy to follow. I had 3 MTU on my system. One main, one solar and one on seperate meter for hot water
The Bad:
Getting the signal to the gateway was a little hard. I ended up connecting the gateway on directly to a plug mounted under the main box and runnibg a cable to my router
The Bottom Line:
Relatively smooth installation
I can view the usage from any where as long as I am logged on to google. I like how the report tells me if I am going over budget or under.
The Bad:
The display units is not in sync with current data. If I am watching the usage on the computer it changes as I turn on appliances but display is delayed at least 5 minutes.
The Bottom Line:
Excellent Product. The first month I reduced my electricity bill by $100 and heading to next month even more.
The data collection is accurate and frequent, and the software works well enough.
The Bad:
The installation can be trying. Line noise and other problems took me a couple weeks to work out fully.
The Bottom Line:
As others have noted, this is the only product like this that I am aware of. If you want real time monitoring of your electrical use (or, like me, your solar array), this is the product you need to get and you need to work through the installation headaches.
Very easy, no problems encountered following all directions.
The Bad:
Had a few problems with noisy circuits but also corrected easily. Gateway unit failed a week after flawless use.
The Bottom Line:
Worked as advertised and connected to Google Power meter without any problem.
Allows you to monitor your energy usage/generation in ways that is not otherwise possible. Probably the best on the market. Very feature rich for the cost.
The Bad:
Lots of software bugs. Expect to have to apply new firmware releases for awhile until they get all the bugs worked out.
The Bottom Line:
It's a great product and worth the money for anybody trying to be conscious of their energy usage
TED collects far more frequent data from my PV system than is possible "by hand" and makes it possible to diagnose system performance and catch problems (of which, I have had none that weren't caused by my utility's poor line voltage control).
The Bad:
The Footprints software has internal calculational errors (bad PF and occasional inconsistencies between short-term data and daily summaries). The Google powermeter is not useful for me because it requires 24/7 Internet connection(!) even though TED maintains a local data store that could transmit missing data during network uptimes.
The Bottom Line:
This appears to be the most cost-effective method at present for collecting household energy usage information. It will doubtless improve as the manufacturer (and Google?) gains experience and revises its software.
1. Ease of monitering my energy consumption. 2. Having downloadable records of energy consumption. 3. Ability to test Hard Wired items with the hand held display. 4. With the ability to monitor hardwired items instantly for consumption I have cut my power bill by 1/2 in the first month. 5. Ability to determine if my power meter is accurate.
The Bad:
The Bottom Line:
Excellent energy saving product everyone should have one.
user interface on PC, data hisorian, LAN accessable, small footprint, easy to install
The Bad:
Problem with noice immunity of AC power lines to comunicate with gateway from AC panel interface (MCU)
The Bottom Line:
Great prodyct that will allow people to determine the actual cost to run or not run specific appliances. Even more beneficial if you have time of day usage rates that are favourable on off ours.
See your electric consumption in real time and see how different products use energy See your electric usage history without having to run a computer Good tool to find energy vampires if you combine it with a kill-a-watt tool or similar Software has many features API is open enough for other people to write software that work with TED Active s
The Bad:
The installation might be more complicated that you first think. Software has bugs I had interference problems
The Bottom Line:
Having long term history with high granularity without having to run a computer to get it; was more important to me than the installation and communication interference that you might get instead
Seems fairly accurate, WEB page dashboard is cool. Easy hardware installation. The dashboard can be set up to read negative easily for those of uswho occasionally generate more power than we use.
The Bad:
Hard to set up communications, google meter doesn't work. Need better instructions, had to find solutions for Apple set ups buried in blogs and user groups. Power Bill Tiers not reset daily PG&E E7 TOU metering) Idle Power from mains to solar inverter reads negative at night. (It's only 20 watts though).
The Bottom Line:
Hardware installation easy, network installation daunting. Needs more customization features for measurements and data collection.
Love this little gadget. Easy to set up. Had some noise problem with the gateway being by my computer, but I picked up a noise filter and it fixed the problem. The ap for the iPhone is a great way to monitor what your house is doing while you are away.
The Bad:
The display is a little weak. Short battery life and all the info I can get on my iPhone.
The Bottom Line:
A must have for anyone looking to reduce their electric bills. I've found out some of the hidden power hogs and turn them off when not being used. Not much individually, but the cumulative effect can be quite a savings.
