Protect-A-Child Is Your Best Choice for Pool Fence
Protect-A-Child Pool Fence Company has been protecting children with our quality removable mesh pool fencing for over 26 years. With a Protect-A-Child Pool Safety Fence installed your backyard patio becomes a play area for your child – not a danger zone.
Our pool safety barrier is top quality, strong, UV resistant invisible mesh supported by either unbreakable composite fiberglass posts in our PREMIER LINE POOL FENCE or double wall aluminum support posts in our SILVER SERIES POOL FENCE.Our pool fence is a time tested, proven safety system backed by a lifetime warranty from one of the oldest, largest, and most respected companies in the industry.
Many people make the mistake of assuming all mesh pool fences are basically alike.They don't find out until later that there are major differences. Support post strength and features that prevent removal make the difference between a reliable safety fence and a maintenance headache or worse yet, tragedy. We highly recommend that you view our pool fence videos to understand our safety features and how our fence performs when children interact with it.
Below is detailed information about our fences quality and patented safety features. Thanks for visiting, we're glad you're here.
Two Lines Of Pool Fences
Our fences are differentiated by the posts that support the mesh. The support posts provide all the strength to the fence and are the most important component. We use the same top quality UV resistant, transparent mesh and stainless steel fasteners in both fences.
PREMIER LINE POOL FENCE - Solid Core Composite Fiberglass Support Posts
SILVER SERIES POOL FENCE - Reinforced Aluminum Support Posts
If we were going to offer a mesh pool fence with aluminum support posts - it had to be strong enough to keep customers children safe and our distributors happy. So we developed new fence posts that are double walled at the critical fulcrum point where aluminum pool fence posts always break. We don't want customers needing constant replacement of their aluminum posts nor do we want our distributors frequently returning to homes replacing broken poles. Our SILVER SERIES POOL FENCE with aluminum support posts offers a "post within a post" for superior strength to all competing "X" and "Y" extrusion posts. We start with a thick wall .063" aluminum tube (already 23% thicker than competing X and Y posts) and reinforce it with a second thick wall (.063") aluminum tube insert inside the first one. This doubles the strength and ridgidity of our pool fence posts at the critical fulcrum point where the post extends out of the patio and where all aluminum posts fail. Available in black, brown, and tan.
Two Exclusive Patented Safety Features Prevent Unauthorized Removal And Set Us Apart As The Safest!
1. Prevent Unlatching Of The Fence Sections:
Patented "Point Lock Secure" Latch
Our patented Point-Lock Secure Latch prevents anyone from unlatching the pool fence sections and gaining access to the pool. They are lockable, easier to use, can adjust for fence tension, and are safer than all other latches. They represent a major safety advantage over gate hook type latches found on most mesh pool fences. Such gate hook latches are easily defeated by a child. Watch our patented pool safety fence features video that shows the performance and safety of this patented feature.
2. Prevent Anyone From Lifting The Fence Out:
"Lock in Deck" Feature Locks Each Fence Post Into The Patio Preventing Unauthorized Removal.
Our patented Lock-in-Deck feature makes Protect-A-Child the only mesh pool fence that "twist locks" into the patio. This completely prevents a child or babysitter from lifting the fence posts out and gaining access to the pool. No tool is required for this feature making it simple to operate yet totally safe. This feature completely eliminates the reliance upon inconsistent fence tension as the sole means of keeping the fence in place. Watch our Lock In Deck feature video that shows the safety provided by this feature.
Mesh and Pool Fence Components

2 Types of Pool Fence Gates
(Move your cursur over the picture to see how the manual gate works.)
Quite simple. We offer a lifetime warranty against any defect in our materials or workmanship. Our solid core composite fiberglass support posts are unconditionally guaranteed unbreakable and can never become bent. This is how a 26 year industry leading company that you can count on confidently backs its fencing.
As you can see, Protect-A-Child is the only mesh pool fence company to offer unique patented safety features and exceptional strength characteristics with the industry's best warranty backing it up.
As good as our product's engineering is it is vital that no child be left unattended on the patio. Remember, only adult supervision can prevent a child from pulling a chair up next to a fence and climbing over.
Be An Educated Consumer
Your choice of pool fence is important. Don't assume that because fences may look a like they are alike. After your child has knocked the fence down and gained access to the pool is the wrong time to realize you bought the wrong fence. Those searching out the cheapest prices will typically find a fence with weak support posts and mesh susceptible to UV degradation that could fail you when you need them to do their job. We see many ridiculous claims of product and component superiority when exactly the opposite is true. For these reasons, let common sense be your guide as your fence decision should not be taken lightly. Consider the four primary ways a child may defeat a mesh pool fence: Climbing over it, knocking it down, unlatching a section, and lifting the posts out. Also consider longevity of the fence itself. Only Protect-A-Child Pool Fence offers superior strength fencing and patented safety features that prevent all 4 weaknesses and have a 26 year track record that backs it up.
- The strongest pool fence posts to prevent a child from knocking the pool fence down.
- Climb resistant mesh.
- Patented Point Lock Secure latches that prevent a child from unlatching the pool fence sections.
- Our Patented Lock-In-Deck feature which prevents the child from lifting the post out and removing the fence from the patio.
If you're interested in placing a pool fence between your child and your swimming pool, make sure you get the one that does the best job protecting your child - choose Protect-A-Child.
Do You Need a Pool Safety Barrier Fence?
Parents today must be aware of the potential danger their backyard swimming pool poses to their young children. Statistics show that drowning is the leading cause of accidental death among children under age 5. We can't imagine the traumatic circumstance of losing one's child to drowning in their home swimming pool - despite several customers telling us of close calls - especially when such an occurrence is so easily preventable. Due to the severity of the pool drowning problem, parents need to be aware of their options for preventing their child from reaching their swimming pool. Most experts including the American Academy of Pediatrics agree that a barrier fence around the swimming pool (pool fence) represents the safest option for keeping your little ones safe. Using a pool fence as the necessary pool barrier to prevent access to the swimming pool provides the following advantages:
- A pool fence prevents your child from reaching the pool.
- A barrier pool fence allows others to use the swimming pool while keeping younger children safe and away from the pool.
- You are still able to enjoy the beauty of the water.
- Cleaning of the pool is easier compared with swimming pool covers
Pool Fence vs. Pool Alarm?
- Alarms don't prevent your child from reaching the pool.
- When relying upon an alarm you assume 3 things: 1. The alarm will work. 2. That you'll hear it. 3. That you will respond quickly enough - all the while -- your child is in the pool drowning!
Options abound for ways to prevent a child from reaching a swimming pool undetected. Most experts agree that pool fencing is the safest option available for swimming pool safety. But what about alternative pool safety options? Options typically fall into 3 categories, swimming pool fencing, swimming pool alarms, and swimming pool covers.
While pool alarms may seem convenient they may not be your best choice for pool safety. First, pool alarms do not physically prevent your child from reaching the pool edge and falling into the pool. You are fully relying on several things happening to prevent a tragic drowning - namely a tragic drowning of your child. 1. You are relying on the electronics of the pool alarm working correctly. Many sensors are outdoors around the pool where corrosion and weather can play a factor. 2. You are assuming that you will hear the alarm once it sounds. So many distractions can prevent this. Walking to the mailbox, a hair dryer, TV, being in the garage, etc. can all distract you long enough to allow a few minutes to pass. When it comes to pool safety and pool drowning – those minutes are critical. 3. If the alarm goes off and if you hear it, you are also assuming that you will react quickly enough to get to the pool, locate your child, and retrieve them from the water prior to significant damage taking place. For us, there are too many variables at play here to rely upon a pool alarm as the sole means of pool protection in place of a pool fence.
Pool fencing on the other hand stands on guard 24/7 preventing your child from reaching the swimming pool. Such a barrier around the pool may not be the perfect solution (a pool fence is no substitute for adult supervision) but it does offer significant advantages over pool alarms that can save your child's life.
Pool Fence vs. Pool Cover or Pool Net?
- A pool fence prevents your child from ever reaching the pool.
- A fence can allow older children and adults to use the pool while keeping little ones protected.
- Covers can be too difficult to remove and reattach.
- Automatic covers are extremely expensive, may not work on your pool, and hide your beautiful pool water.
Pool fencing offers the swimming pool owner many advantages over pool covers or pool nets. A pool fence provides a physical barrier to your child ever reaching the swimming pool. Such a barrier around the pool allows others to use the swimming pool even while the pool fence is in place. Pool covers and nets must be completely removed prior to pool use. Pool fencing also allows easier access to the pool by adults. Simply unlatch the gate, walk through, and jump into the pool. When you are done swimming, you can lounge near the water or simply walk back out the gate and head for the house. The fence never moves and keeps the pool area protected.Pool covers and pool nets on the other hand will require extensive effort if you want to use the pool. First, you need to unlatch or unhook the cover around the full perimeter of the pool. You must then, gather up this large cover or roll it up onto a large spool that occupies most of one end of the pool making that end of the pool unsightly. Only then you can have access to the pool.
Done swimming? Wait a minute! Don't plan on just walking away from that uncovered pool regardless of your time schedule. The whole ordeal of removing the cover must be replayed (with more time and effort this time) by reinstalling the pool cover over the entire swimming pool. This involves rolling out the cover or net, finding the correct starting point on the patio and bending over and rehooking the pool cover or net all the way around the pool. With pool nets this will also require tensioning the center pulley system of the net to make sure it is tight enough to prevent a child from falling through the hole and drowning. You must also make sure the water level in the pool is low enough to prevent the net from sagging under weight of a child and allowing them to drown on top of the net. With solid covers you need to make sure the cover pump is installed to pump standing rain water off the cover - otherwise a child could drown in the puddle on the cover. WHEW! ALL THAT TROUBLE – JUST TO USE THE SWIMMING POOL?
As you can see, this is why pool fencing is a far better option than pool covers or pool nets when it comes to preventing children from reaching the pool.
You could opt to purchase an automatic swimming pool cover rather than a manual safety cover or pool net. Such covers are easier to use as you can simply turn a key and have them open or close. However they require extensive installation, permits, electrical work, etc. These covers can cost several thousand (if not tens of thousands) of dollars. In areas where water cost is extremely high and evaporation a major issue, sometimes automatic covers are a good option. Nonetheless, if you are dreaming about owning a swimming pool it is likely you are hoping to be able to enjoy the beauty of the sparkling water as much as possible rather than looking at a piece of plastic over the pool. While pool covers are great for keeping pools clean, mesh pool fences also prevent leaves, debris and animals from entering the pool helping keep them cleaner.

Creating a fairer Britain
The Commission has intervened and made representations on public sector duty points in a number of cases. Below are some examples of these cases.
X, a wheelchair user, experienced inaccessible prison facilities and has also had problems accessing prison services. He took action against the Secretary of State for Justice using the DDA and HRA.
The Commission made representations concerning the need under the Disability Equality Duties for the responsible public authorities to plan and take pro-active steps to improve the accessibility of prison services and facilities - something the authorities had failed to do - and to improve access to services and delivery of public functions without unlawful discrimination against disabled prisoners. The positive obligations of public authorities were also supplemented by HRA rights that X has - particularly under articles 3, 8 and 14.
The MOJ conceded the claims, and they agreed terms of settlement with X and the Commission. The settlement terms included action to revise the Ministry of Justice Disability Equality Scheme to identify and address disabled prisoner issues. A new prison service order would also be created to cover their responsibilities under the public functions duties contained in the DDA.
The case concerned the impact of proposed funding changes which threatened the survival of domestic violence support group Southall Black Sisters. The case explored the question of compliance with equality duties - specifically an alleged failure to comply with the Race Equality Duty by failing to carrying out an impact assessment.
The Commission argued that Ealing Council had failed to discharge their obligations under the race equality duties to assess the impact of changes in funding criteria. It was also argued that Ealing had failed to understand the correct interpretation of s35 of the Race Relations Act 1976, which allowed for the targeting of domestic violence services to particular 'hard to reach' communities as a form of lawful positive action to achieve equality and encourage integration. The Commission submitted to the court that funders must recognise that the drive to promote community cohesion and integration was not in conflict with the equality duties if both were considered properly, at the right stage, to reach balanced conclusions.
Ealing conceded the claims during the hearing, accepting that the Commission's position on relevant law was, in fact, correct. The effect of this is that Ealing will need to go back to the drawing board to re-consider the funding criteria and the process for inviting competitive bids for domestic violence services. In addition to the direct significance that this outcome has for the parties involved - and for the service users that the dispute affected - the case also provides a lever to achieve broader change. So, following the hearing, we have been working collaboratively with Ealing Council and the Local Government Association to disseminate the implications of the case for funders, including local authorities. Our follow-up work should help funders improve equality outcomes.
This case challenged the use of restraint in Secure Training Centres (STCs) following the deaths of two young people in separate centres in 2004. The MoJ, without undertaking an impact assessment, had changed rules concerning the circumstances in which restraint could be used on children in custody. The High Court said that MoJ should have conducted an Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) but did not quash the Order bringing about the new rule.
The restraint rules violated Article 3 of the HRA, prohibiting "inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment," and the MoJ had failed to determine the impact of the rule change for ethnic minority STC residents via an EIA, in breach of s71(1) of the Race Relations Act 1976. Although the High Court had found that the race equality duty had been breached it did not quash the rules, and should have done so in the circumstances.
The Court of Appeal agreed with the Commission's argument that restraint rules violated Art 3 and that the MoJ had failed to determine the impact of the rule change for ethnic minority STC residents via an EIA. Following the judgment, the Commission demanded that the MoJ overhaul its child restraint rules.
The case concerned a decision of the Secretary of State's Inspector to dismiss appeals against the refusal by the London Borough of Bromley to grant applications for planning permission for the retention of a number of touring caravans and mobile homes on a site near Orpington. The appellants appeal points included that the Inspector failed to have due regard to the need "to promote equality of opportunity......between persons of different racial groups".
While the Appellant relied on a breach of the race equality duty, the Commission submitted that the full range of the equality duties should be considered, where relevant, on the basis that they provide a framework within which Parliament intends public authorities to ensure that equality has substantive, not merely formal, effect. The Commission assisted the Court by informing it not only of the statutory requirements in relation to the equality duties, but also the relevant best practice which the legacy Commissions developed in relation to these requirements. The Court was taken through the relevant parts of the various Codes of Practice and other guidance and reports published by the former Commissions.
The Court made specific mention of the Commission's role as intervener and said, at the outset of its judgment, that it had been assisted by the intervention. The Court found that the failure by the planning inspector to make explicit reference to section 71(1) of the RRA was not determinative of the question whether she had performed her duty under the Act. However, the Court judged that it was good practice to make such reference to the Act and to all other relevant material including the Code of Practice, observing: "In this way, the decision maker is more likely to ensure that the relevant factors are taken into account and the scope for argument as to whether the duty has been performed will be reduced." It found that there had been no breach of the duty as the inspector had had due regard to the need to promote equality of opportunity. It was "immaterial" whether or not she was aware of the existence of the s71(1) duty. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal and leave to appeal to House of Lord was refused.

I've noticed that IGS is using .php pages as the download pages. Unfortunately, these aren't compatible with most (if any) download managers. I understand that a direct link would be very easy to pass around and share with friends, so that's kind of out of the question.
(My source is the error message that comes up if I try it while logged out)
Error: You cannot download this file because you are not logged in.
I tend to aim for games on IGS that also come with Desura keys because it allows me to download the game over an extended period if necessary. Because of this, not having a 3rd party key is potentially a dealbreaker for me, especially with big games.
I would therefore like to propose a thing:
An (optional) IndieGameStand downloader application.
An application you can log into, which pulls the games from your wallet and lets you download them that way. Here are some ideal features:
- Pausing and resuming downloads
- Bandwidth throttling
- Download queue
An android app similar to Humble's would be nice as well, but that's a whole other thing.
Here are some examples:
IndieCity (sorry for the tiny image):
Or Shinyloot (which is really ugly):

If all things were equal, I'd take Swisher over Duda every day of the week and thrice on Sundays. But all things aren't equal. Swisher will be looking for a ton of money. As good as he is, he's just worth it, even before you consider his post season numbers.

Is same-sex marriage really in conflict with scripture?by Opinion Staff
In Tuesday's Post, several pastors were quoted as disagreeing with President Obama's comments on same-sex marriage. Though Mr. Obama characterized his "evolution" on the issue as a faith-based journey, the pastors objected. "What the Bible says," one commented, "is not in line with what the president says."
Presumably, his comment is based on the notion that the Bible sets out the idea of the traditional family. But in a recent column for The Washington Post's "On Faith" section, author Lisa Miller argued that the Bible "offers no examples of what might be called the 'traditional family.' " She notes that leading figures in the Bible were polygamists, and that King David seduced his neighbor's wife. Jesus, of course, was unmarried. The apostle Paul considered marriage something only for those who could control their sexual desire.
For centuries, of course, people have cherry-picked the Bible to support their views, for good or ill. A literal interpretation can make for contradictions. Clergy offer prayers before National Football League, Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association games and NASCAR races on Sundays. Are those organizations keeping the Sabbath holy, as the Fourth Commandment decrees?
Making the case that same-sex marriage violates biblical teaching might be harder than some pastors think. What do you think? Is same-sex marriage really in conflict with scripture?

Borges problems might prompt opponent for GOP chairman
The Columbus Dispatch - April 23, 2013 10:04 AM
A potential opponent to Matt Borges might be in the offing for chairman of the Ohio Republican Party.
Dale Fellows, chairman of the Lake County Republican Party and a member of the 66-member state central committee poised to elect a new chairman Friday in Columbus, is being pushed as an alternative to Borges, the state party's executive director, who has the support of Gov. John Kasich.
Ashtabula County GOP Chairman Charlie Frye sent an email Tuesday to GOP leaders around the state urging that they support Fellows for chairman, while retaining Borges in his current position. Fellows could not be immediately reached for comment, but in his letter Frye said Fellows told him "that he would run for state chairman if Matt pulls out of the running."
Once considered a shoo-in to successed Ohio GOP Chairman Robert T. Bennett, who will step down, Borges appears to be loosing support following revelations that he has unpaid federal and state tax liens. Kasich and the four other GOP statewide executive officeholders, along with Sen. Rob Portman, had endorsed Borges for chairman, but last week Attorney General Mike DeWine and Secretary of State Jon Husted expressed concern about Borges' tax liens and asked him to explain them. DeWine and Husted said they were disappointed that Borges had not told them about the liens when he asked for their support.
Borges reportedly owes $168,161 in federal taxes and $4,198 in state taxes, but he told The Plain Dealer that his debts had been reduced to $4,196 to the state and $28,799 to the federal government and he planned to pay them off by Friday.
Borges is being challenged for chairmanship by Tom Zawistowski, leader of the Portage County Tea Party. Frye said he found Zawistowski "to be a good man and patriot," but that Fellows would be an excellent choice for chairman.
"Dale has been a loyal Republican and active in the party for over three decades, including being the former state chairman of the Young Republicans and a state central committee member for over 20 years," Frye wrote. "Dale has one of the best run county parties in the state and knows how to build a party from the ground up. He is respected by many and can unite all the branches of our party. We need unity, not division as we move into 2014."
Frye asked Borges to withdraw as a candidate for chairman.

Owl in Tree Tote Bag
Paper printing is a great way to turn plain, ordinary things like t-shirts, notebooks, tote bags and more into one-of-a-kind creations. And it's fun and easy to do!

Material List
- Hirschberg Black Shoulder Tote
- Tulip® Dimensional Paint (we used): White, Blue, Red
- White Paper
- Pencil

Project Instructions
Step: 1
Paper Printing 101
If printing on a garment, be sure to pre-wash to remove sizing. Do not use fabric softener.
Step: 2
Always put a t-shirt board inside a shirt to keep paint from seeping through.
Step: 3
When drawing or tracing images, remember that lines too close together will connect when pressed, causing smudging to occur.
Step: 4
When printing with multi-colors, be sure to outline with all of the colors at the same time and then print.
Step: 5
Remember when writing words to be printed to reverse and use a mirror image or the printing will be backwards.
Step: 6
Practice on another piece of paper or scrap fabric before attempting the final piece. The paint is permanent so it won't wash out.
Step: 7
Printing can be done on most any surface such as garments, paper, wood, notebooks anything flat.
Step: 8
Recreate a child's favorite drawing on a t-shirt for the perfect gift for dad or grandma.
Step: 9

Draw or trace pattern on white paper.
Step: 10
Refer to directions above for Paper Printing 101 and squeeze Dimensional paint directly from the bottle to outline the design, starting with the tree. The lighter your paint line the smaller the image will transfer. Turn paper over and lay design on tote where desired. Rub hand over the design and transfer the paint to the tote. Carefully lift the paper revealing the design. Discard paper. Let design dry.
Step: 11

Looney Wins 2nd MLRA Feature In A Row, Familiar Face Wins Pure Stock & 3 Features Postponed
Mother Nature can be a very fickle woman from time to time. Last night at HPT.Com Speedway she played a game of cat and mouse with the employees, the fans and the racers. In the end, Mother Nature ended up with the upper hand forcing the postponement of several races.
The day got started with a bright outlook. Local forecasters were calling for partly sunny skies and a high of 75 degrees. Most of the day it was cool and foggy and by the time the races rolled around rain had slowly crept into the picture.
It was a special night at HPT.Com Speedway. The Lucas Oil MLRA brought in over 40 cars to the track looking to compete for the title. One hundred and sixteen cars total checked in to race. All the stars were lining up.
Heat races were completed in all of the regular weekly series classes; Casey's General Store Pure Stocks, Washburn Tech Modifieds, White Line CDL Factory Stocks and the Super 8 at Forbes Landing B Mods.
A couple of classes on the night finished their portion of the event. The Lucas Oil Latemodels and the Casey's General Store Pure Stocks got through their entire portion of the show.
In the MLRA finish it was Brad Looney taking home the win on Friday night at HPT.Com Speedway. Looney battled John Anderson down to the checkered flag and for the 2nd straight week it was Looney who collected the win.
The only other class to complete their portion of the show was the Casey's General Store Pure Stocks.
Nine cars started the A Feature, but only one of them would take home the win.
Steve Stewart appeared to be starting off the way he finished a week ago, with a win. Stewart jumped to the top spot and looked to be pulling away. That is until Henery started closing the gap.
Just as the race was about to hit the halfway point, Henery had caught up to Stewart. The two racers went side by side for a few laps before a bad break would relegate Stewart to the back of the field.
The nose of the car driven by Stewart had fallen off his car on to the track. Having something fall off your car during a race is a bad omen. In this case the bad omen was the fact that he was sent to the rear.
Henery looked to take command of the feature and the yellow flag seemed to be all he needed to win. Randy Kohn might have had a different idea.
Kohn also made most of the opportunity on the restart. He jumped to 2nd place. He would knock on Henery's door, but it just wasn't meant to be. Henery would go on to win. It was the 14th time in victory lane for Henrey's ride since last season.
Kohn held on to finish 2nd, AJ Christian threw another top 5 run with a 3rd place finish, 4th went to Jimmy Millard and rounding out the top 5 was Daniel Canady.
Casey's General Store Pure Stock Heat race was hauled in by Henrey.
Next week the 3 features postponed will be run first and then next Saturday's show will begin after the conclusion of the makeup A Mains.
Next Saturday night the BriggsAuto.Com Super Saturday Showdown Series will continue with the features to be made up and another complete show all in one night.
Tickets for next Saturday's event can be purchased at the track or online at www.hpt.com. At the track ticket prices will be $10 per adult and children 12 and under will be $5. When fans order online they will get tickets at a discount. Online tickets for adults will be $8. and children 12 and under will be $4.
Spectator gates will open at 5:30 p.m. and hot laps are scheduled to start at 6:15 p.m.

Before he played in a major-league game, Evan Longoria signed a long-term contract with the Rays. He entered the 2008 season as the No. 2 prospect in baseball, and he signed a six year, $17.5 million contract, with three team options worth $29 million. The result: The Rays will get nine years of Longoria for the price of about two years of Carl Crawford.
The contract did not start a trend. Top prospects like Mike Trout and Bryce Harper didn't arrive in the majors and wonder where their $17-million commitment was. This is because Evan Longoria's real market value is somewhere between $900 million and Belgium.
It's not a contract you'll see too often anymore, especially for position players. If the White Sox had given the same contract to Gordon Beckham, maybe things would be different -- if Longoria represents the risk of leaving money on the table, Beckham would have represented the reward of going for the guaranteed money when it was offered. Until there's a contract like that, though, the Longoria contract will be an anomaly and something of a cautionary tale for young super-prospects.
Salvador Perez was never a super-prospect. Heading into the 2011 season, he was the Royals' No. 17 prospect according to Baseball America. That was in a ridiculously deep system at the time, so he certainly would have ranked higher in other organizations, but he wasn't a can't-miss, top-100 guy. He was usually young for his leagues, but his career minor-league line is .287/.329/.397 -- he was a raw offensive player, to be kind.
In his first 148 at-bats as a rookie, Perez hit .331/.361/.473. That was welcome and unexpected, but it was still just 148 at-bats. After the season, though, the Royals locked him up. They locked him up for five years and $7 million, with three team options that add up to $14.75 million. That's eight years of Perez for the price of a year of Joe Mauer. And that rookie line for Perez? He's improved upon it, even as the batting average regressed as expected. More importantly, he's still just 22 -- an age when a lot of draftees are playing their first full season in A-ball.
And, perhaps, most importantly, the offensive showing is just gravy. This is the real reason the Royals were confident in locking him up:
It's not just his arm that makes Perez a fantastic defensive catcher, but that's a good place to start. He's already tied a Royals record for pickoffs. Like, for his career.
His overall defense is similar to his offense so far: raw, impressive, and dripping with potential. Add it all up, and you have a catcher who has as much potential as anyone in the league. The Royals bought out his arbitration years, and they have the option of buying out two of his free-agent years.
The Rays gave Longoria a guaranteed contract at solid-regular rates, and his team options were at low-level-star rates. It was team-friendly enough to futz up teams who might have wanted to sign their top prospects to a similar deal, especially after Longoria established himself as a star.
The Royals gave Perez a guaranteed contract at roster-filler rates, and his team options were at solid-regular rates. It would have been team friendly if Perez played like Kurt Suzuki. Instead, he could become a star, too.
The Longoria contract has been held up as model of how small-market franchises needed to do business -- a how-did-they-do-that? deal that was the envy of the league just a couple months after it was signed. There's a chance -- a small, but very real, chance -- the Perez contract will look even better. And it could mess with teams just as much as the Longoria contract. He's becoming another cautionary tale for prospects going for the guaranteed money.
The difference between the two is a matter of scale. Evan Longoria was one of the best prospects in baseball -- a rare creature, even before his first major-league game. Salvador Perez was a lesser prospect with a chance to be a solid regular -- one of scores, if not hundreds. Good luck trying to lock up those types for five years at just over three times the league-minimum salary now. What if I'm the next Salvador Perez?, they'll wonder, possibly while daydreaming and leading off first, about to get picked off by Perez.
The Royals might have found a new way to lock up their young talent. They also might have broken that new way before they had a chance to use it a few more times. If Perez is really this good, though, it would have been worth it.

By Bruce Campbell, Staff Writer Enid News and Eagle — March 2, 2014
ENID, Okla. — Greg Shamburg of Northern Oklahoma College Enid has been named the Region II men's basketball coach of the year.
The Jets rallied back from an 0-3 start to take the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Region II tournament. NOC Enid was 21-6 overall and 12-6 in conference. The Jets had only four returning players from the year before.
"That's the guys who did that,'' Shamburg said. "It's their award, too. They won the games down the stretch (six of last seven). They deserve as much credit as I do.''
Shamburg, the only coach the program has known, has a 254-149 record since taking the reins in 2001-02. It's the second time he's been the region coach-of-the-year.
Shamburg has taken the Jets to the region finals three times in the last six years and has won two Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference championships.
"I don't know how you would judge that,'' he said when asked if this was one of his better coaching jobs. "You probably need to ask someone else.'' . . .
The Northern Oklahoma College Enid Jets basketball teams had three student-athlete's named to the All-Conference team. Rylie Swanson, Breck Clark and Ben Berry received all-conference honors. Rylie Swanson is a sophomore from Alva, OK and was named to the first team all-conference. Breck Clark is a freshman from Shawnee, OK and was named to the second team all-conference. Ben Berry is a sophomore from Mustang, OK and was named to the second team all-conference.
The All-Conference team is voted on by head coaches who are not allowed to vote for their own players.
Jamie Roberts Northern Oklahoma College Enid head softball coach, selected sophomore Aaliyah Sebock, a Carl Albert High School graduate from Midwest City, as the NOC softball player of the week, for the week ended Feb. 16. Sebock plays outfield and is a pre-physical therapy major.
"She batted 6-of-12 in the leadoff position with 10 RBIs, three doubles, and her first homerun of her career in the Lady Jets first four victories. Aaliyah was dynamite in centerfield as well, committing no errors and throwing out two base runners," said Coach Roberts.
The Lady Jets are undefeated after their first four games outscoring their opponents 41 to 14.

He shot 50 percent from the three point line (7-14) and 60 percent from the field. Daryck had been coming off the bench for us up until last week, when he started in all three games and assumed the role very nicely. He has also been taking care of his business off the court, currently maintaining a high grade point average."
Ben Berry has been selected as the Northern Oklahoma College (NOC) Enid men's athlete of the week for Oct. 28 – Nov. 3. Berry is a 6-foot-four-inch sophomore forward/guard from Mustang.

The Northern Oklahoma College Jets Cheerleading Squad attended the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) College Cheerleading Camp this past August at Oklahoma City University. The primary purpose of the camp was to qualify for NCA College Nationals which will be held in Daytona Beach, Fla. in April 2014.
Ten teams attended the two day camp, including Grambling State University, Oklahoma City University, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, Texas Wesleyan, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, and others. Northern was by far the smallest squad at this camp with 14 cheerleaders. Most other schools had between 20 and 30 squad members. The Jets, competing at this camp for the first time in school history, finished tied for third and qualified for the NCA College Nationals.
During the two day camp, the Jets Cheerleaders learned new stunts, chants, and pyramids to bring back to campus. The final day of camp was a competition between all divisions. Camp competition is usually split into Division I, Division II and Junior College. However, the decision was made that all divisions would hold a single competition for the four bids.
The Jets learned and performed their Game Day routine at camp, adding their own crowd leading chants and stunts. Coach Quintero said of the Jets camp performance, "I believe we looked very good. Especially since we have seven freshman on the team, who, at that point, had never taken a college class. We were a very young team going against a lot of older and bigger teams."
The bid winners were:
1. Grambling State University (NCA College National Finals qualifier in 2013)
2. Oklahoma City University (NCA College National Champions in 2013)
3. Tied Northeastern Oklahoma State University (NCA College Nationals 3rd place in 2013)
3. Tied Northern Oklahoma College-Enid (First Year at camp)
The NOC Enid Jets tied for 3rd place against three teams that either won College Nationals or made it to finals. Coach Quintero added, "We had a great showing at camp and had a lot of compliments about how good we looked. Our goal is to make it to Finals at Nationals this year. This will be a tough thing to do because we are looking at having 25 teams in our division. As a squad we are very confident in our ability."
The Jets Cheer squad is currently raising funds to help pay for the NCA College Nationals in April. Anyone interested in supporting their efforts can contact Coach Josh Quintero at email@example.com.
Kori Barrios has been selected as the Northern Oklahoma College Enid softball player of the week for Aug. 19-25. Barrios is a member of both the Jets Softball and Basketball Programs.

Korbin Polston has been selected as the Northern Oklahoma College Enid baseball player of the week for Aug. 19-25. The sophomore outfielder, from Del City, led his summer team to a runner-up finish in the American Legion Mid-South Regionals. Polston led the Jets in four offensive categories and was Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference second team last season. Korbin is majoring in mathematics and is an honor student.

In 2012, more than 700 volunteers came out for KTMB's Truckee River Cleanup and 13 tons of waste and weeds were removed. Christi Cakiroglu, KTMB executive director, said the amount of waste collected along the banks by the hundreds of residents shows how much work needs to be done to keep the river looking clean.
"KTMB's Truckee River Cleanup Day is a great reminder to always make sure your trash gets in a trash can or recycling bin," Cakiroglu said. "We have a beautiful river running right through our community that provides our drinking water and a great place to fish, boat or play, but it's up to us to keep it healthy and beautiful."
A number of this year's cleanup sites included invasive-weed removal; because invasive weeds use more water than the Truckee Meadows' native weeds and are more flammable, they are always a concern in wildfire-prone northern Nevada. KTMB's Truckee River Cleanup Day also included stenciling 502 storm drains this year.
"People don't think much of it when they lose track of a soda bottle or beer can along the river, and they might not realize they are one of hundreds doing the same thing all summer," Cakiroglu said. "When you add fertilizer, car-washing soap, pet waste and other lawn runoff going down the storm drains, our river can get unhealthy really quickly. But through events like this, and the wonderful work of our volunteers, people become aware of how simple, everyday decisions as individuals make a vital contribution to our community's health and economy."
Dozens of local groups and non-profit organizations volunteered for the cleanup, including members of the Reed High School JROTC battalion, members of the Omega Delta Phi fraternity at the University of Nevada, Reno, NV Energy employees and their families, GREENevada. SaveMart volunteers were on hand treating volunteers to a barbecue lunch as they worked in and out of Glendale and Rock parks in Sparks as well as several Reno parks along the Truckee River.
KTMB's Truckee River Cleanup Day was sponsored by the Truckee River Fund, and coordinated in partnership with NV Energy, Waste Management Recycle America, Wells Fargo, YP, the cities of Reno and Sparks, Sun Valley General Improvement District, Washoe County, Washoe County Health District, Allied Nevada Gold, Barrick, IGT, REI, Signature Landscapes, and Whole Foods.
Started in 2004, KTMB's Truckee River Cleanup Day strives to preserve the natural beauty of local recreation areas and remove the dangers to people and wildlife associated with trash, illegal dump sites and invasive weeds, with the help of volunteers.

Seth MacFarlane was a total screw-up as oscar host, all his jokes were terrible and that whole broadcast was painful to watch. Never heard of the guy before, wish I'd never heard of him after.
In case you missed it.

Not much in the way of surprises, really.
I thought Seth MacFarlane was fine and some of his jokes were funny, especially in the beginning when he was actually talking **** about people. He can sing, too, so he was a good host to have for a show doing a tribute to music and musicals.
I really liked a lot of the stage design, too.
Shirley Bassey can still belt it out. Wow.
I watched it on the DVR, as BoobyTrap and I were watching Argo while the show was actually playing out, so I skipped most of the speeches.
That's all I got to say.

Three Golden Eagles medal at Oklahoma Invite
NORMAN, Okla. - Several Oral Roberts track and field members took part in the Oklahoma Invitational on Saturday afternoon in Norman, with a pair of Golden Eagle women bringing home medals from the meet.
Finishing as the top collegiate jumper, and second place overall in the event, was Lauren McFarland in the pole vault, while runner Erin Roberson completed the 800 meter run in third place.
A junior from Rio Vista, Texas, McFarland cleared the bar at a height of 3.96 meters (12-11.75), nearly a half a foot more than the third place finisher from the host Oklahoma. The mark was McFarland's collegiate best.
Outrunning three runners from conference foe Stephen F. Austin, Roberson added the third place time of 2:18.36, for her best time by more than a second in the 800 meter this indoor season.
Adding a medal in the men's long jump at the event was senior Morrie Turner. A transfer from Mississippi State, Turner placed second with a jump of 7.36 meters (24-1.75).
The Golden Eagle teams will return to Norman next weekend as they will compete in the Southland Conference Indoor Championships on Friday and Saturday.
