FAIRMOUNT, Ind. —
The Frankton softball team came out landing haymakers Monday night at Madison-Grant, but it was the jabs of the host Argylls that proved to be the difference in a 6-3 Central Indiana Conference win.
"We came out blazing, and then the bats just shut down," Frankton coach Jeremy Parker said afterward.
Shortstop Natalie McGuire led off the game with a no-doubt shot to left field on an 0-1 count to give Frankton the early edge. Sydney Smith came to the plate and doubled, advancing to third on a passed ball. After a walk to Lexi Gray, Kaylee Irwin hit a double to center field to score both Smith and Gray. Madison-Grant starter Rose Perry settled down and retired the next three batters to end the inning.
The Argylls began their comeback in the bottom of the first and continued it through the next three innings. Madison-Grant scored a run in the second, another in the third and two more in the fourth to take a 5-3 lead.
"It was a real nice win for us," Madison-Grant coach Jay Dunlap said. "We told them to just 'get one run, get one run' and it worked."
Perry helped her cause by driving in a run with a single in the first and another on a sacrifice fly in the third. After a shaky start, Perry settled in and retired 14 of the next 15 batters to pick up the win.
Perry received plenty of help as six of the 10 Argylls batters picked up hits, and all hitters reached base at least once.
"A total team win," Dunlap said.
The Argylls added a run in the bottom of the sixth after the Eagles missed big opportunities to either tie the game or take the lead. Cierra Liddick relieved Perry at the start of the fifth inning and walked McGuire, the first batter she faced.
McGuire advanced to second on a wild pitch, and Smith hit a single to left. Both runners advanced on a wild pitch, but Liddick was able to strike out Gray and induce two infield popouts to end the threat.
In the sixth, Frankton loaded the bases with two outs, but Liddick struck out Smith to get out of the jam. While Frankton left eight runners on base, the Argylls left more runs on the bases by stranding 10 in six innings.
Taylor Ryan took the loss for Frankton (5-5, 2-2 CIC), going four innings giving up seven hits and five runs with one walk and one strikeout.
Perry went four innings for Madison-Grant (13-6, 3-1 CIC), giving up three runs on four hits with one walk and one strikeout.
Frankton travels to Wapahani on Thursday in a potential sectional match-up while Madison-Grant continues CIC play with a trip to Eastbrook on Wednesday.

PORTLAND -- The TriMet bus driver stabbed during a violent rampage in October, 2012 said he forgives his attacker.
Video just released Thursday shows Austin Vanhagen, then 19, pushing his way onto the bus and up stabbing several passengers and the driver, Leonard James.
"He only stabbed me once, but he made it count," James recalled. "He cut my lower intestine."
Other passengers grabbed Vanhagen and held him until police showed up. He was arrested and this week was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
James said he feels sorry for the young man.
"I just want this kid to get help," he said. "He's obviously really disturbed. Something has to be done for this guy. He's just young."
And he said he plans to continue driving for TriMet.
"I learned a long time ago to do what makes me happy," he said. "So when I'm not happy doing this anymore, I'll move on."

As part of the global day of action campaigners around the world are directing a targeted lobbying offensive towards UK, German and French embassies in over 20 countries. Activists visited local branches of the world's biggest banks and called on them to pay their fair share.
France is the country most in favour of the Financial Transaction Tax so their presidency of the G8 and G20 this year makes this a pivotal time for the campaign.
"Its time for governments to take a stand against the banks and introduce a Financial Transaction Tax this year", says Anton Kerr, Head of Policy at the Alliance. "Our efforts to reach universal access to HIV prevention treatment and care is under threat because of the global financial crisis the greedy banks have caused. They can afford to contribute more."
You can sign the petition to implement a Financial Transaction Tax in 2011 below.
A free panel debate on the Robin Hood Tax is taking place on Tuesday 29th March at St. Paul's Cathedral. Click here for more details.
Check out the photos of the day of action from the UK and around the world.
Learn more about the Robin Hood Tax campaign and what it could mean for health and HIV funding.
Robin Hood Campaign activists believe that twenty-five per cent of the revenues should be directed towards fighting global poverty. While the problems of the financial crisis felt at home are painful, they have been amplified in poorer countries. As a direct result of the crisis, developing and emerging country output, exports, migrant remittances, capital inflows, and foreign aid have all been lower than expected over the last three years. On the ground, this has had a devastating effect on the lives and livelihoods of the most vulnerable. Revenue raised by a Robin Hood Tax could be used, for example, to build primary healthcare and education systems in developing countries, and to extend microcredit to local businesses.

Nissan Murano CVT Transmission
...sorry I disagree with Jayrider, yes he is right if the maintenance does not call for it, but in my opinion and due to many instances of CVT failures, the fact that you are almost 5 years old and most importantly to have the benefit of the doubt on your side, I would do it.
Lets not forget that we always need the "dealer" on our side in all claims, that is the easy way to handle problems with Nissan in most instances...save your receipts always.
I would do it...cheap insurance..my 2 cents and good luck
It might be insurance but I'm not sure I would say it was cheap insurance. I have an 03 jeep that has one year left on warranty. I've gone a bit beyond in service because it will be my financial responsibility soon. For warrantied parts I go by the book. The book says change trans fluid optional at 60k and 120k miles. If you plan to keep the vehicle that long I guess you could spring. I might wait til 100k. It will be warrantied no matter so choose as you see fit. My lease is up in 22 months and then it's adios.
..of course I agree if the Murano is leased....but if you own it a fluid change on the tranny should nopt that expensive,just my opinion,and by having it no one dealer or Nissan cab even begin to suggest negligense on the part of the owner..besides if a lawsuit follows always more is better than less..it will show your willingness to "really" maintain your vehicles..
barbh2 Posts: 1My 2003 Murano transmission was replaced in Sept of '06. I was driving home from a vacation in Maine and the problem occurred in stop and go traffic on the Mass Turnpike. Thankfully was able to get car, cat and two kayaks off the turnpike before being hit. Car towed 12 miles to closest Nissan dealer. Had to rent car to drive back to Ohio. My car was there from Sept 4 through Oct 1. Had to have friend fly back to pick up car and drive back to Cincinnati. The dealership was fabulous and babysat kayaks for almost a month! Nissan would do nothing to help. I was at 99,734 miles and the transmission cost $5949.47. I just submitted my paperwork for the reimbursement. If this is just a ploy I am going to be so angry. I had to have the power steering hose replaced recently and just had to have tie rod and tailpipe replaced. The repairs are adding up. I have loved the car and have had other Nissans but will think seriously about purchasing again. Will let you know the outcome. If it bucks and looses power, I'd say, don't wait. The stop and go traffic and heat appears to take it down everytime.
No it's not. I still encourage you to send your paperwork in for reimburement and make them call you to explain it's not covered as they did to me. I also encourage you to email the Vice President at email@example.com and voice your concern of the extention not covering the transfer case.
whitall Posts: 187So, you had 99,000 miles 3 years ago and now you are complaining that repairs are adding up...how many miles now? 150,000? (you seem to do at least 20k a year it seems like). Not to offend you, but if you have that kind of mileage don't you expect to do repairs such as tie rods and hoses??
My 2004 Murano SE CVT failed at 110000 km, and they replaced it under the extended warranty. Took the car home and the transfer case failed a couple of days later and was told it would cost $4000 and Nissan would not cover. How can both CVT & Transfer case fail? Was also told a couple of reasons that the transfer case could fail if the car was driven on dry pavement, or if towed and the car was in 4 wheel mode. Car has never been towed, but the first reason sounds stupid to me. Who hasn't driven the car in 4 wheel mode on a dry paved road? Every Murano SE out there is destined to fail. I'm trying too.
In Aug I had to replace the transmission in my 2005 Murano. Of course at that time by CVT trans was an out of pocket expense. I did send Nissan all the paperwork they required. The repairs were done at an independent licensed repair shop and not at the Nissan dealer. Do you think that makes a difference for the refund?
They did ask this questions so I hate to say I believe they are going to state because it wasn't done at a Authorized dealership they are not going to cover it. I recommend going to your closest dealership and getting an estimate and at least request Nissan to refund you the difference if it is less or at least refund you what it would have costed at the Nissan Dealer. Not saying it's going to work but it's worth a shot. Also find out if the independent licensed repair shop used genuine Nissan Parts. This may also determine if you will be refund. How many miles were on the 05 Murano when the CVT needed to be replaced? It's sad but I really enjoy driving the Murano and I think it's a sharp looking vehicle. I also thought the kinks were worked out on the CVT after the 04 model which is what I have. Except my transfer case went out in my murano, which isn't covered under the extended warranty or refund just issued by Nissan.
The licensed repair shop was $1500 less on the repair than the Nissan dealer. This is why I chose to use this shop. The trans went our at 84000 miles. The used transmission that was put in my vehicle was also under warranty the ticket I sent in to Nissan for refund had the Vin of the used transmission. Do you think that would make a difference? Plus since the trans that is in my murano now is used and was replaced. Does that mean that until I reach 120k this trans is under warranty too? I agree with you on a Murano, I enjoy driving mine and I like the style but I was very upset with the repair cost of this transmission.
so if the transfer case is repaired how long will it last? Should i fix it and then just get rid of it? The car is nice otherwise. A new transmission and a new transfer case at only 70000 miles sounds like it is just the beginning of a whole bunch of problems? Once these things are fixed is the car going to last or is there other problems coming? Does anyone know of any other probs?
I had 2-3 times in the past during hot weather when the car simply won't move at stop and go, when I hit the gas pedal hard, it would jerks forward dangerously, but I cannot reproduce it now when the weather is cold..
I have 117k miles on my 2003 murano, can I get Nissan to replace the transmission before it's out of warranty?
Based on the extended warranty of 100,000 or 10 years (whichever comes first) I believe your Murano is out of warranty already. Have your local dealer confirm this. With my situation I found Nissan relies on the dealer's recommendation and diagnostic. If you can talk with your local dealer and get them to deem the transmission faulty Nissan will replace it if it's still under warranty.
vanessaesq Posts: 10The warranty extension is to 120,000 miles or ten years. Your car is still under warranty under the extension. Also, you don't have to be able to reproduce the problem for Nissan. If it's done it in the past, it will show up when Nissan does the computer diagnostic on it. That's what happened with mine. Just had a new CVT put in last week. My car has 102,000 miles on it.
I don't think its the cvt transmission. It sounds like the transfer case is going. if it is grabbing or hesitating when either just stopping or just starting to move. It would feel like something is causing a brake to grab. (hate to say it but its not covered by extended warranty.
kbianculli Posts: 3Actually it sounds like you have a bad throttle position sensor. It has been a very common problem on the Muranos. I had the exact same thing occur to me on my '05 and it would only happen when it was hot. If you think about when it happened to you I would bet that you will probably remember when you stepped on the gas the engine didn't even rev up but then as you pressed harder on the gas suddenly the engine revs way up (because you have now pressed the gas peddle half way to the floor and the TPS suddenly starts to register) causing the car to jerk forward. If it was the transfer case or the CVT then the engine would have reved up in response to you pressing the gas pedal down.
snelson3 Posts: 1I'm coming to this late. The Nissan letter started me on a quest to discover why they would do such a thing. I actually had no idea CVTs were dying. In fact, I bought a 2009 Murano because we are quite satisfied with my wife's 2008 Altima. I also just purchased a new Rogue for my company.
All that said, my wife and I are low mileage people. When I got my Murano, I traded in a 5 year old CRV with 29k miles.
I know and understand what Nissan is doing now. But, I'm wondering..... since I also purchased an extended warranty on the Murano from Nissan when I closed the deal... wouldn't the (pro-rated) cost of transmission repair have been calculated into that price, and would it behoove me (and others) to pursue a partial refund?
did you have to pay a diagnostics fee for nissan dealer to diagnostic it?
can their computer find the problem with CVT even when the check engine light is not on and no reproducible symptom?
Also, does anyone know what's the cost of repairing the TPS for an out of warranty murano?

I'll prelude this review with a confession that many of you have likely voiced recently: these days I'm almost totally burned out on Japanese horror - at least as far as new product is concerned. You know how it is: when you discover a particular source of art or entertainment so far outside the realm of conventional, mass-produced fare that you feel like you found a hidden vein of gold... to horror fans, Far-East finds like Audition or Ringu had that kind of rare value. Then, over about a decade, big corporate conglomerates got their talons on the latest trend that ?the kids seem to like? and suddenly your rare treasure that was once only available in gray-market bootlegs with Dutch subtitles is in the hands of just about everyone. So when everyone's got tons of gold, it isn't really worth much anymore, is it?
Given the above situation, when this DVD set arrived, my expectations were a mite low, and I girded my loins in bitter anticipation of four-plus hours of crawling black-haired ghost girls and cursed electronic gizmos that I'd seen a hundred times before.
So imagine my surprise when I discovered this slick Asian spin on the horror anthology TV series is ten tons o' fun. Sure, it's more than a bit cheesy, and yes, there's the occasional drippy ghost woman, haunted cell phone and teenage girls in sailor uniforms (actually, I'm totally fine with that part). But most of the episodes in this nine-chapter series benefit from an enthusiastic approach, some truly stunning visuals (shot-on-video format notwithstanding) and some unique twists on old material.
The nine episodes are not thematically linked, and the stories are not connected either (except for the final episode... well, kinda... more on that below). After a bouncy animated title sequence (set to music that reminds me of Amazing Stories), each story is introduced by the individual prayer bead which corresponds to it. Not being familiar with the spiritual or allegorical significance of these beads, I saw no thematic connection (other than each is given a number), and every chapter has a unique stylistic signature.
The first episode, oddly enough titled ?Prayer Beads? (for reasons I never quite figured out), adheres closest to the basic tenets of what we now consider ?conventional? J-Horror, and involves a pregnant woman whose creepy best friend is tormented by the disappearance of her husband... or is she? The standard supernatural revenge plot ? complete with black hair creeping out of bathtubs and text messages from beyond ? is carried out with lots of gloomy-doomy atmosphere and builds to a gruesome climax, but I still felt like I'd seen it all before.
The next installment, ?Vending Machine Woman,? kicks the series back into high gear with the tale of a bickering young couple whose wilderness getaway turns from inconvenient to comically horrible in the time it takes to finish a can of questionable fruit juice. It's a Cronenbergian nightmare which culminates in a sticky-gross ending that'll make you think twice before kicking that defective snack machine in your office break area.
Episode three, ?It's Me,? is a so-so tale of a scam gone bad when two con-men pick the wrong old lady as their next victim. It's basically wasabi-flavored Tales from the Crypt material, but it does contain one of the series' biggest shock moments...
?Real? is a nearly plotless tale of a surgeon who seeks unconventional help for chronic headaches and winds up addicted to a hallucinogenic substance (it makes him see worms crawling out of people's body cavities) which leads him down the path to madness. With a little work, this tale could have taken on a certain Lovecraftian edge, but it's so under-written that it falls flat.
?Mushroom Hunting? is a decent supernatural fairytale with a twist, about a trio of teens who meet online and, oddly, decide their first outing will be a mushroom hunt in a remote forest. Ignoring the warnings of a blind hermit (as kids usually do in these tales), they visit the cottage of an old lady who seems a mite too hospitable... and whose resemblance to the witch from Hansel and Gretel is entirely coincidental. Anyone who saw Attack of the Mushroom People knows you really shouldn't accept fungi from strangers.
Chapter six, ?Eddie,? revolves around a boy whose paranormal abilities are akin to the kid in The Twilight Zone who kept sending people he didn't like to the cornfield. In short, don't piss him off - especially if you are a cute seal-like creature named Eddie who may in fact be something much more dangerous. Bad CGI aside, this is one of the more touching tales in the series, and the central dynamic of the boy and his grandfather feels heartbreakingly real.
Almost out of place in its subtlety (that is, until the blood-drenched climax) is ?Echoes,? a moody piece with limited dialogue and a slow, tension-filled pace. The writing and performances are superb in this tale of an elderly couple who use their psychic powers to solve their granddaughter's murder ? and exact revenge on her killer. It's definitely the standout in the series, and would actually have worked well expanded to feature-length.
My second favorite, ?Cat's Paw,? gets high marks for sheer audacity in adapting the classic horror tale ?The Monkey's Paw? with the modern twist of an obnoxious cutesy-poo anime character named Nyanta, who grants a persecuted boy three wishes in the cartoon world... wishes which take much grislier form in reality. Anyone who thinks those squeaky-voiced anthropomorphic animals in Japanese cartoons are kinda creepy will see their nightmares come alive here, and the result is grim and hilarious at the same time.
The final chapter, ?Apartment,? works well for a while: its seemingly mundane tale of tensions within a middle-class family escalates to a violent climax and the usual twist ending... but the filmmakers unwisely chose not to end it there. Instead, they attempt to tie all the threads from each of the preceding episodes into one big apocalyptic knot, which ultimately serves no purpose other than to heighten the sense of doom that most of the episodes achieve just fine on their own.
Overall, Prayer Beads is more hit than miss, and well worth a look. Dark Sky packages the entire series in a two-disc set: presented in letterboxed widescreen, the transfer is a bit on the wonky side, with some pretty blocky artifacts during some of the low-lit scenes and some digital drop-outs that look like they may have existed on the source tape. The stereo soundtrack is serviceable, but a bit muddy in some of the quieter scenes; removable English subtitles are available, and are well-done. Nothing much in the way of extras ? a trailer and still gallery is the extent of it.
While some of the material needs a bit of polish, the colorful imagery, inventive direction and effective editing make Prayer Beads a fun spook-show experience, and over its 4? hour span, it's seldom boring ? which for a TV show is saying a lot.

Multifocal lenses are lenses that have two or more lens powers allowing you to see objects at all distances! They can be separated into two groups: bifocals and progressives.
Bifocal lenses contain two fields of vision that are separated with a line between the two lenses. Progressive lenses, often called multifocal lenses or "no-line bifocals", provide multiple fields of vision in one lens because they gradually change in power starting from the top half of the lens and changing in strength as your eye progresses downward.
If your prescription has an additional value (ADD) or numbers in the near vision (N.V.) section, you may want to consider purchasing either progressive or bifocal lenses. Not every frame in our collection is suitable for multifocal lenses. A multifocal compatible frame must have a certain lens height in order for us to produce a multifocal lens.
The easiest way to know if a certain frame is eligible for mulifocal lenses is to look for the symbols that appear next to the frame itself, as seen in the pictures below:
The easiest way to look for frames that are eligible for multifocal lenses is to use our "Multifocal Glasses" menu from the top horizontal menu or by narrowing down any search that you are doing bye selecting "Bifocal/Progressive" in the the "Lens Type" option on the left hand side menu.
Once you've found your desired frame, ordering your glasses is easy! Click on the "Select Lens" button and scroll down where you'll see a section entitled "what do you use your glasses for?" Then select "progressive" or "bifocal" depending on your preference.
Your prescription may come in a few different formats - but your bifocal or progressive prescription will always contain a set of numbers in the additional value (ADD), near vision (N.V.) or the progressive additive lens (PAL) if you're ordering progressives.
Adding your prescription online is easy! It's just like inserting your single vision prescription but you will be adding your additional value as well! Remember to add your PD in the appropriate fields.Need Help?

What Tropical Storm Irene didn't destroy, Tropical Storm Sandy ripped to shreds.
There are few stretches of the Point Beach boardwalk that were not ravaged by Sandy, which changed status from "hurricane" to "tropical storm" when it hit the Atlantic City area at about 8 p.m. Monday. Irene's status had been similarly downgraded when it made landfall in August 2011.
The town had already been grappling with how to repair and maintain the famed boardwalk, which was deteriorating and had been partially fixed and patched in bits and pieces long before Sandy ever made its destructive visit. Now local officials have to figure out how and when to go about replacing a much greater percentage of the entire stretch.
And even those few stretches that do not immediately appear as significantly damaged may not be stable and no one should be walking there, said Mayor Vincent Barrella on Thursday afternoon.
"No one should be on the boardwalk now unless they're workers or they really have to be," Barrella said. "It may not be safe."
Early Thursday morning, the curious began walking on the beach and boardwalk in Point Beach, the first full day the town was opened up east of the NJ Transit train tracks.
Much of the boardwalk was badly damaged or completely destroyed. On the south end, the new boardwalk was either destroyed, thrown around like a piece of thin cardboard, or pushed into oceanfront homes.
Oddly, there are a few short stretches here and there, such as from Kohr's custard to Joey Tomatoes and heading north, just north of the police substation on the boardwalk and Arnold Avenue, that folks can still walk on.
But a question remains about how stable the less damaged sections of boardwalk may be, considering that many business owners and local officials had felt the boardwalk needed considerable renovation long before Sandy tore through much of it like tissue paper.
Barrella has said for months, long before Sandy ever came to town, that truly repairing the boardwalk the right way would cost about $3 million, a price tag he said the town could not afford.
Now the town stands to recoup at least a significant portion of that cost through FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Association). However, the town would still have to borrow to pay for the massive amount of renovation the boardwalk would need and then apply for FEMA reimbursement, which is likely to not arrive anywhere from 10 to 12 months later, based on municipalities' past experience.
And it could take a lot longer considering that FEMA is already getting flooded with phone calls and claims from multiple states impacted by Sandy.
The southern section of boardwalk, which had been destroyed by Tropical Storm Irene and replaced early this summer, was destroyed again by Sandy. Sections of it lie in New Jersey Avenue, including a few pieces across the street on Ocean Avenue.
Just a bit north, the miniature golf area and building in front of it are destroyed.
The pier from Martell's Tiki Bar is gone.
The boardwalk in front of Lucky's Arcade was also badly damaged, which isn't surprising considering it had already been damaged by Irene. The town recently received bids for repair work, which would have been reimbursed in part by FEMA.
Barrella, whose house on Niblick Street was one of many flooded in the Sandy-ravaged resort town, said he hopes that government officials on every level will work with Point Beach to get the boardwalk rebuilt by Memorial Day.
As devastating as Sandy was, it actually left a few bits and pieces of boardwalk and wooden railing untouched.
Inside the Risden's building on the south end, which was rented this summer by Surf Taco for the first time, Sandy ripped off the building's facade, knocked over a refrigerator, started ripping at one of the counter stools, and wrecked nearly everything else that had been on the floor. And yet paper lanterns still hang by clothespins to a cord strung from one wall to the other and the menu board still hangs on the wall.
Early Thursday morning, police had barricades up at the end of Broadway, preventing motorists from driving onto Inlet Drive. From Broadway, one can see the Shrimp Box, clearly still standing, but there is no information yet on how much water damage was sustained by that restaurant or other businesses on the popular strip along the Manasquan Inlet.
Barrella and the Point Beach council are scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday at Borough Hall on New Jersey Avenue.

I recently scored a Mac 2105 of Craigslist here in Pittsburgh. The price was right at $400. I gave it to my friend and fellow Polkie falcon377 (Mike) to check out.
Mike powered up the unit, played it and said that it sounded pretty good. The plan at that point was to clean the chassis, controls, contacts, replace bulbs, repair some bubbles on the faceplate, etc.
Mike opened the unit and to our surprise, non of the caps matched the parts listed in the service manual. After several emails to Mac and additional research Mike concluded that someone has been isnide the amp and must have rebuild it using a 2505 schematic, at least that's our theory because of the values of some of the caps he found on the boards. Why the tech wouldn't replace a like for like component is beyond all logical comprehension. For example, the big power output caps were 50V, 25,000 uF made by GE (see pic)
Any email to McIntosh confirmed that they never used this part or value in the 2105.
I won't detail the differences in the boards cap by cap, but here is a view of the chassis as found:
I ordered some replacement parts according to the 2105 Service manual. Most of the caps I ordered were various radial and axial varieties of Nichicon. The large output caps that we ordered were Mallory 50V, 58,000 uF. Mike meticulously cleaned the chassis, controls, soaked the pots in DeOxit, replaced all the lights and polished the chassis to a very good condition. The apparent "bubbles on the front galss panel were actually deposits on the outside of the glass. These were removed and the unit looks and sounds fabulous. It is paired very nicely with my MX-113. Here are some pics of the rebuild chassis:
The resulting change in performance and sound was striking!!:yes: The unit was much more dynamic and had a better or lower bass response. Overall, I put about $300 into the unit, the total project cost about $700. This compares very favorably to the cost of what some of these untis are selling for.
Kudos to Falcon377 (Mike) and his expert restoration work. I can't thank you enough.

Watch a video on aquatic animals around ponds including alligators.
Alligators are becoming increasingly abundant in Alabama, and occasionally they may take up residence in a fish pond. Since alligators do not eat enough fish to adversely affect bass-bream balance, they should just be left alone. Do not feed or harass alligators. If they do become a nuisance by attacking ducks or pets, then a local conservation officer should be contacted for removal of the alligator.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — MSU gets fundsfor food security
EAST LANSING — Michigan State University Extension is part of a network of university Extension services that were awarded $4 million to tackle food security challenges and help enhance nutritious food choices in rural communities.
For the next five years, six states — Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio and South Dakota — will be working to identify solutions to address food security challenges and nutritious food choices in rural communities.
Select communities in each of the states will receive assistance in forming or enhancing food policy councils that will increase accessibility and availability of nutritious food. The councils may set up food pantries or change the way that existing food pantries operate, Henne said..
Conservation Districtspring egg hunt
TRAVERSE CITY— The Grand Traverse Conservation District will put a new spin on a springtime favorite when it hosts an egg hunt Saturday, March 30, at Kids Creek Park.
Kids up to 13 and their parents will be sent on a mission to find five colored eggs that correspond to Michigan creatures that really lay eggs. Once they find an egg of a certain color, participants will put it in their basket, mark it off on their scorecard, and move on to find the next colored egg.
When they collect all five colored eggs, they'll return to the starting point to exchange their eggs and scorecard for candy and to be entered in a chance to win prizes.
Two time slots are available and kids will be grouped by age to different areas of the park.
The grand prize is a one-night stay at the Great Wolf Lodge. Other prizes include enrollment in a week-long summer camp at the Conservation District.
Registration for the egg hunt is $5 per child. Pre-registration is encouraged but is only open to Friends of the Conservation District. Walk-ins are welcome on the day of the event, space provided.
To pre-register or to become a Friend, visit natureiscalling.org or call 941-0960.,

A service outage that hit AT&T customers in Kansas and Missouri has apparently been restored.
Wireless customers in both states reported the outages around 9:00 a.m.
AT&T released the following statement:
"Earlier today, some customers in Kansas and Western Missouri may have experienced issues with 3G wireless services. AT&T technicians quickly worked to resolve the issue, and service is currently running normally. We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers."
Many AT&T customers in the area have been hit with a double whammy this week, with outages impacting U-verse and now wireless services.
The company's U-verse service, a fiber optic technology that combines digital TV, internet and land line phone service, experienced a server problem earlier this week. That issue created a headache for several U-verse customers in parts of the U.S., including Kansas, with some losing partial or complete internet service.
The company's Twitter account says the problem has been isolated, and most customers have been restored as of this morning.
In a separate problem, Thursday morning some AT&T wireless customers in Wichita and other parts of the state, unable to make or receive calls.
AT&T reports major tower outages have impacted mobile phone users in Kansas and Missouri. The trouble began for most around 9 a.m.
KAKE News has contacted company representatives about the current problem to see if they have an estimated repair time. We're waiting on a response.
Have you been affected by either outage? How has it impacted you personally, or your business? Let us know by commenting below.

In a move rumored for months, Brooks Reed confirms in an interview that he is moving inside from OLB. What will this mean for the Texans?
They say it's "who you know" that matters most. Right now I think Brooks Reed considers himself lucky to know J.J. Watt who took Reed with him to train in Wisconsin.
After rewatching five of the first seven games of the season, I share my observations on the Texans to this point.
The news that Arian Foster and Brooks Reed are game-time decisions for Sunday's opener against the Dolphins is freaking people out. See what Gary Kubiak and Arian Foster had to say.
The final chapter of Checkdown has Scott as the object of everybody's eye; the fans want his head, the media want his story. Will he disappear? Will he tell his story? You'll only know by reading...
In Chapter 19 of Checkdown, we finally learn who ordered the death of Eliot Nash. I'll give you a hint: the butler did not do it. But once Scott makes the big reveal, will he regret doing it?
Carlos has finally been arrested, but will he talk? Will he spill his guts to Carlyle and Scott? And did he kill Nash and Belgreave? You'll only find out if you read this week's Checkdown.
The investigation is close to finding Eliot Nash's killer. Scott goes on a ridealong with Detective Carlyle and discovers something truly frightening about himself. What is that, you ask? You'll...
Podolski is under arrest, and the investigation turns to the big prize; finding and arresting the man who seems to be in the middle of everything: Carlos Guerrero. Will they bring him to justice?...

For a minute today, Buzz thought we were in Rome. That was because we stopped into Jimmie's Shoe Repair.
It is the coolest store on Hertel.
This tiny storefront attached to a house, and you walk in, and Jimmie -- well, come to think of it, we are not sure that is his name -- is behind this narrow counter with shoes packed in behind him as far as the eye can see. He is a handsome man. There is this aroma of leather and old tools.
An Italian opera was playing. Perhaps it was whatever opera was being beamed from the Met. The music went well with the timeless scene.
It is worth bringing your shoes in just so you can sit and read the magazines.
That is better than our branch library!
It gets us thinking. There is at least one opera about a cobbler and that is Wagner's "Die Meistersinger."
Next time the Met broadcasts it, we will have to send flowers to Jimmie's.

CHAMPLAIN — Shawn McCambridge knew something wasn't quite right when his niece, Amelia Brennock, walked in the door last November.
The child was normally eager to greet his golden retriever, Rudy, when she came to visit relatives at the home in Ellenburg.
"She didn't run and see the dog the very first day she came," McCambridge said.
An annual checkup three weeks earlier had given Amelia a clean bill of health.
But then, in Ellenburg, "she just woke up with a fever, and then it just never went away over the weekend, and we thought she was getting dehydrated so we brought her over to CVPH (Medical Center)," said mother Jennifer Brennock."
At the Plattsburgh hospital, the family learned Amelia's condition was more severe than they had thought. But with no pediatric oncologist available, the staff was unable to fully diagnose it.
Amelia was transferred by ambulance to the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital in Westchester County, where the 9-year-old is still being treated today.
Amelia, who lives in Carmel, located in Putnam County, took a brief break from treatment over the weekend. She was guest of honor at the "A Day for Amelia" fundraiser held Saturday afternoon at Twin Bridges Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1418 in Champlain.
At least 200 guests gathered to welcome her as she returned to the area almost a year after her diagnosis.
The event featured a chicken dinner, music and a raffle with numerous items and gift certificates donated by local residents and businesses.
Both the Ridgerunners and Adirondack Riders motorcycle clubs donated hundreds of dollars, while student members of the Northern Adirondack Central School FFA helped with food service at the event.
"I think it was nice," Amelia said about the gathering.
By late afternoon, donations for her and family totaled about $4,100.
Amelia's treatment will be a roughly three-year process, said Jennifer Brennock, who grew up in Ellenburg Depot.
Still undergoing active chemotherapy, the child is moving toward a maintenance period, when she will begin a schedule of low-dose treatments twice a month.
"If the cancer stays away during that time, then they consider it gone," Brennock said.
Amelia's mom had been hesitant about the fundraiser at first, but family friend Danielle Coon, who organized it, said she had insisted that they hold it.
"When Amelia's an adult and she looks back, I want her to remember all the people who loved her — and not the sickness and the doctors and the nurses," Coon said.
Coon and Brennock were classmates at Northern Adirondack Central School, and Coon gathered other members of the class to help organize the event.
McCambridge said seeing so many North Country residents gather to support Amelia and her family spoke to the charity of the region.
"Your roots are still here, and you can move miles away or countries away, but the people who care about you most are still close to home," he said.
To make a donation to help with the costs of Amelia Brennock's medical treatment, contact Brenda Brown at (904)303-8664 or firstname.lastname@example.com; Danielle Fuller at 563-5358 or email@example.com; or Stephanie Winner at 593-4879 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Put cereal and walnuts into a zip-top plastic bag. Press air out of bag and zip closed.
- Using a rolling pin or heavy food can, press and roll over ingredients in the bag until cereal is finely crushed and walnuts are in pieces as small as grains of rice. Add garlic powder, salt and pepper to bag. Shake to mix.
- Crack egg into medium-size bowl. Beat with a fork until yolk and white are mixed together.
- If using chicken breasts, place chicken on cutting board. Cut into 1/2-inch wide strips across the short direction of each piece of chicken. Add sliced chicken (or tenders) to the egg and stir. Immediately wash hands, knife and cutting board with warm soapy water.
- With a fork, remove chicken pieces letting extra egg drip off. Put chicken into bag with walnut mixture.
- Close bag. Gently shake bag back and forth, and press walnuts onto chicken. Pour chicken onto prepared pan and use a fork to separate pieces so they aren't touching each other. Wash hands again if you touched the chicken.
- Bake 10 minutes until crumbs are golden brown and chicken is cooked through. To check if chicken is done, remove one piece and cut in half. It should be white all the way through, not pink.

Fantastic recipe! I used chicken tenders and didn't change a thing. My kids loved it, my husband and I loved it. We all went for seconds! It's already printed and in my personal "tried and true" recipe binder. Thanks so much :)

DELICIOUS! EASY! Added a shake of garlic salt, but other than that followed recipe exactly...and will again.
I made this as written using chicken tenders. They were easy to make and turned out well.

Coreboot at Your Service!
Both coreboot v2 and v3 allow you to use the QEMU emulator for doing all the above steps without worrying about bricking your hardware. Using an emulator also is handy when you want to develop a new payload or re-implement some feature of coreboot.
The steps for configuring and compiling coreboot for an emulated system are similar to those for the EPIA-M:
$ cd coreboot-v2/ $ ./buildtarget emulation/qemu-x86 $ cd emulation/qemu-x86/qemu-x86/ $ make
Before you can run the emulator, you need to to have a copy of a Video ROM/BIOS patched for use with QEMU, such as the one for Cirrus Logic card (www.coreboot.org/images/0/0d/Vgabios-cirrus.zip). Download the file, unzip it in the current directory and then run QEMU:
$ qemu -L . -hda /dev/zero
The latest version of coreboot (v3) doesn't include support for many motherboards yet, but anyone can evaluate coreboot v3 with an emulated system (Figure 4).
So, what are the major differences that distinguish coreboot v3 from the previous releases? First, the configuration mechanism is greatly revised. In previous releases, you had to edit configuration files manually. Now, you configure coreboot just as you configure the Linux kernel—using make menuconfig or make xconfig. Second, the coreboot image itself is nothing but a LAR archive. LAR is a coreboot-specific archiver. It allows you to add, edit and delete payloads in a single step; there's no need to recompile the entire image. Third, the process for producing the code has been simplified and is much more elegant than before. Fourth, the use of ROMCC has been dropped, and all C code now is compiled with gcc. Fifth, there is a growing community and improved documentation on the Web site, as well as feedback from some silicon companies.
So, let's take a look at coreboot v3. Get the source code from the repository and configure it:
$ svn co svn://coreboot.org/repos/trunk/coreboot-v3 $ make menuconfig ... $ make
Once this completes, the coreboot image is ready and can be found in build/coreboot.rom. To view the contents of coreboot.rom, you can use the LAR archiver (Listing 6):
$ build/util/lar/lar -l build/coreboot.rom
Listing 6. Output of LAR Archiver (Coreboot Image Contents)
normal/option_table (932 bytes @ 0x50); loadaddress 0x0 entry 0x0 normal/initram/segment0 (420 bytes @ 0x450); loadaddress 0x0 entry 0x0x40 normal/stage2/segment0 (194,780 bytes, zeroes compressed to 1 bytes @ 0x650); loadaddress 0x0xd7b0 entry 0x0x2000 normal/stage2/segment1 (34560 bytes, lzma compressed to 18320 bytes @ 0x6b0); loadaddress 0x0x2000 entry 0x0x2000 normal/stage2/segment2 (6076 bytes, lzma compressed to 356 bytes @ 0x4e90); loadaddress 0x0xbff4 entry 0x0x2000 normal/payload/segment0 (183,984 bytes, zeroes compressed to 1 bytes @ 0x5050); loadaddress 0x0x318e0 entry 0x0x19000 normal/payload/segment1 (100,552 bytes, lzma compressed to 78196 bytes @ 0x50b0); loadaddress 0x0x19000 entry 0x0x19000 bootblock (20480 bytes @ 0x3b000) Total size = 119314B 116KB (0x1d212)
As you can see, coreboot.rom is really just an archive file, so it can be "disassembled" and "reassembled". Compiling from scratch is not required.
Most contemporary, proprietary BIOSes contain a BIOS setup program, where you can configure different settings, ranging from RAM parameters to the boot strategy. Currently, there is no such thing available for coreboot, but to illustrate the flexibility of coreboot, let's examine bayou.
Bayou was developed by AMD and contributed to the coreboot project last year. Bayou is a payload that itself is a container for further payloads, thereby allowing coreboot to choose among payloads at boot time via a menu. For instance, you could include a memtest payload, a FILO payload and even a tint payload (tint is a Tetris clone). As an example, let's build bayou with a tint payload.
To build tint, get the source and patch it:
$ wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/tint/ ↪tint_0.03b.tar.gz $ tar xfvz tint_0.03b.tar.gz $ cd tint-0.03b $ svn export svn://coreboot.org/repos/trunk/payloads/ ↪external/tint/libpayload_tint.patch $ patch -p1 < libpayload_tint.patch $ make
Then, get the bayou payload:
$ svn co svn://coreboot.org/repos/trunk/payloads/bayou $ cd bayou
Edit the bayou configuration file (bayou.xml), and add the required payloads (Listing 7).
Some clarifications
Hi there,
@Anonymous: there's a list of supported hardware. Basically if your motherboard's components are already supported, the motherboard shouldn't be very hard to get working, but if this isn't the case, the needed work can be quite consistent.
@Boris: The v3 was dropped in favor of v2 and is now unmaintained (except for Via Epia targets). Many of v3's features were backported to v2, which still has much better hardware support than v3.
The coreboot wiki page is a good reading, and the people from the IRC channel or from the mailinglist are a great source of help also.
Thank you for the
Thank you for the article.
Could you try to boot the latest trunk version? I've tried to boot trunk svn revision 4974 but can't get even serial output from my epia-m.
Does it work on my box?
How the heck can I find out whether coreboot will work on my machine? I'm using Linux, of course.

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.

text: I thought they skated it really well and I didn't mind the changes, although the ending wasn't my favourite. I thought Scott messed up his twizzle and replay showed he had a bit of a problem, and when two teams are as good as these two, I guess that makes a difference. 2points different? Hmmm, I don't think so, that was a big shocker for me, but still a season's best for them.

USAID responds to all types of natural disasters including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, droughts, fires, pest infestations, and disease outbreaks. USAID also provides assistance when lives or livelihoods are threatened by catastrophes such as civil conflict, acts of terrorism, or individual accidents. LEARN MORE
crises addressed in 54 countries
million people affected by
natural disasters in 2001
Typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda
The sheer destruction caused by Typhoon Haiyan (known locally in the Philippines as Yolanda) is mind-boggling. Thousands have been killed, countless homes have been destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of Filipinos left homeless. Americans, and indeed people all over the world, have been shocked by arresting images of a destroyed landscape and desperate people whose lives have been ruptured. While nothing can undo the damage wrought by the storm, the U.S. Government has mounted a swift, large, and coordinated relief effort using all of the tools at our disposal, with USAID leading that humanitarian response.
The already dire humanitarian situation in Syria continues to worsen because of increasing violence and Government of Syria restrictions on access for aid workers. U.S. humanitarian assistance is being provided when and where possible, and we have reached every conflict area in Syria. We are not able to reach everyone, but heroic efforts are happening every day to help those caught in the middle of the crisis.
More than 15 million people are affected by a worsening food crisis in the Sahel, which is the result of drought, poor harvests, conflict, and rising food prices in the region. Families cannot make ends meet, food is in short supply, and malnutrition rates are on the rise. The United States, working in partnership with the international community, heeded early warnings, immediately took action, and continues to help alleviate suffering in the region. Our assistance is saving lives.
Crisis Response
USAID responds to all types of natural disasters, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, droughts, fires, pest infestations, and disease outbreaks. OFDA also provides assistance when lives or livelihoods are threatened by catastrophes such as civil conflict, acts of terrorism, or industrial accidents.

RALEIGH — Lawmakers heard from election experts Wednesday who said there was little evidence of voter fraud in North Carolina, but that voter ID laws in other states had not led to voter suppression as critics have predicted.
Of the 21 million votes cast in North Carolina since 2000, the State Board of Elections only turned over one case of voter impersonation for prosecution – the sort of fraud that requiring a photo ID is designed to stop.
"Voter fraud is rare and cases of voter impersonation even more uncommon," Keesha Gaskins, senior counsel for the Brennan Center for Justice, a New York think tank that has opposed voter ID laws, told a House committee considering legislation to require a photo voter ID.
"There is no evidence of coordinated or systemic voter fraud anywhere in the country and there is certainly no evidence here in North Carolina," Gaskins said. "A voter ID law would not improve North Carolina's elections, but what we do know is that many North Carolina voters lack the kind of identification required by such a law."
But supporters of a voter ID law were buttressed by testimony that similar tough laws passed in Georgia and Indiana had not lead to a decline in voter participation.
In fact, voter participation in states such as Georgia and Indiana – including those in the African-American communities – has continued to do better than the national average even after passing voter ID bills in 2005 and 2006, said Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow with the Washington-based Heritage Foundation, a think tank which supports voter ID laws.
"This is not Jim Crow," von Spakovsky said. "This is not police dogs. This is not a fire hose. To say that it is, does a disservice to those who fought in the civil rights movement of the 1950s."
Georgia's experience
Since Georgia implemented the voter photo ID bill, the number of African-Americans voting in presidential elections jumped from 834,000 in 2004 to 1.2 million in 2008, the first time Barack Obama ran for president, according to information provided by the Georgia Secretary of State's office. (Opponents noted black participation declined slightly in 2012.)
Georgia, which is roughly the same size as North Carolina, has provided 29,611 free voter photo ID cards since 2006, according to the secretary of state's office. That is far fewer than warnings that hundreds of thousands could be disenfranchised in North Carolina if a photo ID bill passed.
The Georgia effort, including efforts to publicize free voter ID cards, has cost the state $1.7 million.
Francis De Luca, president of the Civitas Institute, an advocacy group in Raleigh, argued that as North Carolina is no longer a rural state where precinct workers know most voters. He said increased mobility and the widespread use of one-stop voting sites has increased the need for voter security.
"We need to update our ballot access and ballot protection just as we have updated our ability to register to vote and to vote," De Luca said.
But Bob Hall, the director of Democracy North Carolina, said the legislature has not even defined voter fraud. He urged the legislature to appoint any governmental agency it trusted to determine whether there is any real evidence of voter fraud.
Laying legal groundwork
Opponents of the law, such as Allison Riggs, an attorney with the Southern Coalition for Justice, a Durham group, seemed to be laying the ground work for a lawsuit, by noting that North Carolina's constitution requires that "all elections shall be free" but that would not be the case if persons are required to go to the expense of obtaining birth certificates or other documents to obtain photo Ids. They also noted there would be constitutional questions if persons are required to show ID if they voted at the polls, but not if they voted by absentee ballot.
Lawyers for multiple groups that have challenged voter ID bills in other states have watched the House proceedings this week. Spokesmen have suggested to lawmakers that they should consider the cost of lengthy court battles in calculating the cost of the voter ID bill.
Von Spakovsky noted that Indiana, which has the most restrictive voter photo ID law in the country, had its law upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in an opinion written by then Justice John Paul Stevens, who was considered one of court's liberals.
Some voter ID bill is almost certain to pass the Republican-led legislature, which passed a voter ID bill in 2011 only to have it vetoed by Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue. Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, however, campaigned for a voter ID bill and has said he would sign it.

The big day is here and you've handled it before—juggling cooking times and corralling kids with when your favorite Thanksgiving Day special or football game comes on TV.
Here's the 411—a brief television guide that may help you plan your day. All times Pacific.
Please note this list is far from complete. There is such a thing as too much television.
8 a.m. Top Chef Thanksgiving on Bravo Contestants prepare for Thanksgiving, according to Bravo. For further inspiration, see THANKSGIVING RECIPES: How to Cook a Turkey Five Different Ways and Thanksgiving Recipes: How to Make Stuffing and Other Favorite Side Dishes.
9 a.m. The 86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC The parade starts in real time at 6 a.m. in New York City, but is broadcast in California on a three-hour delay, according to NBC. So expect to find the parade on television from 9 a.m. to noon.
9:30 a.m. Houston Texans at Detroit Lions on CBS The first of three NFL games this Thanksgiving Day. The Texans are 9-1 and the Lions are 4-6 so far in 2012. Detroit started hosting games on Thanksgiving in 1934 and the Lions have a Turkey Day record of 33-37-2, according to the NFL.
Pop Quiz: Which is the oldest—the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade or the Detroit Lions' traditional Thanksgiving Day home game? The answer is below.
11:30 a.m. "Thanksgiving with Your Godfather" Marathon on AMC Back-to-back broadcasts of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II. Hollywood.com notes it was best to leave The Godfather Part III for another day, "considering how that movie has been known to ruin appetites."
1:15 p.m. Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys on FOX The Redskins are 4-6 and the Cowboys are 5-5. Dallas started hosting Thanksgiving Day games in 1966 and the Cowboys are 28-15-1 on Turkey Day, according to the NFL.
4 p.m. A Family Thanksgiving on Hallmark This movie features an attorney striving to become partner at her New York law firm, according to Hallmark. She bumps her head and wakes up as a wife and mother of two. With Daphne Zuniga and Faye Dunaway.
4:30 p.m. Texas Christian University at Texas on ESPN The Horned Frogs are 6-4 and the Longhorns are 8-2, according to the NCAA.
5:20 p.m. New England Patriots at New York Jets on NBC The Patriots are 7-3 and the Jets are 4-6. In previous Thanksgiving Day games, the Jets are 4-3 and the Patriots are 2-2, according to the NFL.
8 p.m. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on ABC This holiday special first aired in 1973, according to ABC.
9:30 p.m. Bad 25 on ABC Filmmaker Spike Lee examines the legacy of Michael Jackson's 1987 album Bad, according to ABC.
Pop Quiz Answer: The first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was in 1924, a decade before the Detroit Lions began hosting Thanksgiving Day football games.
OK, if that's not enough television for Thanksgiving you can always rent a video. Enjoy the day—and the leftovers.
(Psst! Looking for just football? Check out Your Guide to NFL Football on Thanksgiving Day.)

Tribune-Star Correspondent
Nine teams competed in the 20th Terre Haute Bowling Center Shootout last weekend (Oct. 30-31) with Team Drake emerging as the champion by a slim nine-pin margin.
Team members Chris Drake, Rick Fugate, Sean Pepper and Trevor Monroney had a score of 8,663. Second place went to Team Nichols (Ryan Nichols, David Paulin, David Monroney, Mike Gambill) at 8,554.
This was an A-B-C-D format tournament. Bowlers were placed in four divisions based on average, with teams picked at random — one from each division.
Overall high individual average in the 10-game tournament was turned in by Brian Taylor (234.1). Other high averages were Nichols 227, Paulin 223, Pepper 220, Fugate 220, Drake 219, Guy Johnson 215, Josh Snowden 215, Doug Weaver 214, Jason Hiddle 214, Darrell Davis 213, Trey Minett 213 and David Monroney 212.
By division, high average leaders were Taylor (A/234.1), Paulin (B/223.6), Pepper (C/220.9) and Kyle Eades (D/205.6). Top money winner was Pepper at $640.
If you didn't compete in this tournament, bowlers have another opportunity to "Shootout" — this time at Vigo Bowl.
Vigo's Team Shootout is Nov. 20-21, with basically the same format. Entry fee is $70. Five games will be rolled on Nov. 21 (1 p.m.) and five more on Nov. 22 (noon).
Teams will be randomly drawn prior to bowling on Nov. 20.
The Josh Combs Memorial Adult/Youth No-Tap Tournament returns for a second year at 1 p.m. on Dec. 12 at the Terre Haute Bowling Center. Check-in time is noon.
These are two-person teams, rolling three games (handicap) in four average divisions. If you're not familiar with bowling parlance, "no-tap" means if you knock down nine pins or more on your first shot, that is scored as a strike.
All prizes awarded to junior bowlers are in the form of scholarships.
For more information, go to www.terrehautebowlingcenter.com or call (812) 238-2911.

SEATTLE - Prosecutors in Italy have filed an appeal, asking to toughen the sentence against Amanda Knox to life in prison.
Trial rules in Italy are unlike anything you'd see in the United States. Prosecutors won their murder case, but they feel Knox got too light a sentence. So, they're using their right to appeal.
Knox and her family were devastated when the Italian jury convicted her and sentenced her to 26 years in prison. Knox's former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, received a 25 year sentence.
In a 15 page request filed in Perugia, Italy Thursday, prosecutors say the murder of Knox's British roommate, Meredith Kercher, was particularly brutal and horrendous, a callous sex murder caused by drinking and drugs. Prosecutors say the punishment of life in prison fits the crime.
During closing arguments in December, lead prosecutor Giuliano Mignini portrayed Knox as a ruthless sex killer with the face of an angel and the heart of the devil.
But in the 400-plus page written explanation for a lesser sentence, jurors cited Knox's clean record and young age. They also noted that Knox and Sollecito showed remorse by covering the body after the murder.
Knox, a University of Washington student, arrived in the fortress hilltown of Perugia in the fall of 2007 to study languages. In November, Kercher was found murdered and sexually assaulted in the house the women shared.
Knox , Sollecito and a third man were convicted of killing Kercher. But Knox says she is innocent and was forced to confess to crime she did not commit.
Her defense team is preparing a lengthy challenge to her conviction, arguing that she should be freed.
Knox's parents say they're not surprised, but they are disappointed at the prosecutor's decision. A family spokesman says they are planning to file their appeal this weekend seeking to have Knox's conviction overturned. They will have more to say once that's done.
It's expected to be 200-plus pages, challenging some of the jury's assumptions and pointing out contradictions in the jury's written explanation.
All of the appeals must be submitted by next Tuesday. Then the court will set hearing dates and pick a jury.
The appeal will take place in Perugia and the jurors will be selected from that town as well. It probably won't get underway until late September. It could be 2011 before there's a decision.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- Lawmakers says a tug-of-war between bills in the Senate is standing in the way of early voting.
Senators on of both sides of the aisle have called for changes to make true early voting a reality in South Carolina, but the senate bill could face some setbacks if nothing happens soon.
If early voting does not pass Tuesday, another piece of legislation will take the front seat, pushing the bill back on the calendar.
"I thought we had it very close to being resolved, every close, but it just fell apart," said Senate President John Courson.
The last few days in session senators have struggled to advance the bill that would allow South Carolinians to head to the polls and cast their ballots early, but failed deals have stalled that process.
"Early voting is on the contested calendar first, nullification is second. We thought we had a deal to go ahead and get early voting and then come back and do nullification, but they changed the deal on us," said Sen. John Scott, a Richland County Democrat.
Democrats say a Republican sponsored nullification bill is standing in the way of early voting.
The bill in question would allow South Carolina agencies and employees to not participate if the federal government tried to deny a citizen their civil rights by detaining them without a trial.
Beaufort County Senator Tom Davis says it would protect South Carolinians, but does not agree that his nullification bill is standing in the way of early voting.
"I don't get the sense that it's holding it up, I don't think so," said Davis.
Last week lawmakers tried to place both bills to special order, creating a set date for the bill to be taken up, but both of those attempts failed and the senate ended for the week.
Still no matter what is preventing the bill from advancing, if nothing happens Tuesday, both pieces of legislation will have to take a back seat.
"Wednesday, we've got the Department of Administration bill, that the governor's pushing," said Courson. "We've got to start debating it, and we'll probably be on it for a few days."
Still, Richland County Senators Courson and Scott, who both support early voting, remain confident that it will happen, they just can't say when.
