While Cherokee County pitcher Tori Davis and Haleyville pitcher Holly Ward both cruised the first five innings, the Lions ((42-12) got to Davis immediately in the sixth.
Third-ranked Cherokee County (40-8) will face top-ranked Alabama Christian at 7 tonight.
Haleyville's sixth inning began with a double, single and two more doubles consecutively, scoring three runs. Although Ward also singled before Cherokee County recorded an out, Davis was able to hold Haleyville off the board the remainder of the inning. However, the Lions did add an insurance run in the seventh.
Cherokee County was never able to get its bats going against Ward, who allowed only one hit over seven innings. The lone hit came from Jessen Burk.

N.C. firm to pitch pay-per-throw in Manchester
Waste Zero, a company that profits from running pay-as-you-throw rubbish disposal programs in cities and towns around the country, pitched an aldermanic committee on the idea of a trash collection program that would force residents to buy official trash bags at a cost that would include a trash collection fee on top of the cost of the bag.
The committee decided to set up a series of meetings in different sections of the city to allow the company to make its pitch directly to residents.
"You could use that argument for schools or for police or fire, whatever, where people would say, 'We don't use them,'" Shea said. "That's not a very sound type of judgment because you're equating one type of usage in a society in lieu of the others."
There was no public comment period at the committee meeting. But a few minutes later, one resident took advantage of the public comment period at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen.
Another sort of trash fee could be imposed much sooner in Manchester. Last year, the city began charging for bulk items picked up at curbside. Now, health officials have floated the possibility of extending the charge to items brought to the Dunbarton Road drop-off center. Mark Gomez, who recently took over as environmental programs manager for the city Health Department, told aldermen that charging for dropped-off bulk waste items could raise $25,000 a year for the city.
The Health Department has also suggested charging fees for old televisions, monitors and computers — a category of rubbish now known as E-waste.

Said Dolphins G.M. Dennis Hickey of his draft philosophy, "You work according to best player available. There's always variables when it comes to the draft, whether it's the player evaluation part and there's always the medical aspect. Then there's evaluating the character and the makeup of the player. There's so many variables. But we feel like it's a good draft and we're excited about it. We continue every day to try to build the best 53-man roster and of course the offensive line is part of that."

Houston schools stop using "Redskins" and other insensitive names
As the NFL team in Washington continues to defend its use of the name Redskins, the franchise often points out that many high schools use the name. What the team doesn't point out is that many schools are dropping the name, too.
Despite the team's claim that "70 different high schools" use the name Redskins, several reports have indicated that the number is actually lower than that, and the Redskins are counting high schools that have already stopped using the name. The latest school to drop the name is Lamar High School in Houston, which announced this week that it will stop going by the name Redskins and start calling its teams the Texans.
That decision was part of a new policy announced by the Houston school district, preventing schools from using team names that are viewed as insensitive. Teams called the Indians, Warriors and Rebels are also changing their names.
The Washington Redskins, however, say they will never change.
Blake Bortles in Houston for meeting with Texans
Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles has long been connected as a possibly fit for the Houston Texans with the No.1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
The Texans need a quarterback. Bortles is a quarterback. It kind of makes sense, right?
After meeting with the Oakland Raiders on Monday, Bortles arrived in Houston Tuesday night for a meeting with the Texans on Wednesday.
Bortles met with Texans' brass at the combine and general manager Rick Smith and head coach Bill O'Brien were both on hand for Bortles' pro day workout as well.
"They've been great," Bortles said from the William P. Hobby Airport in Houston, via James Palmer of CSNHouston.com "He's a great guy and a great coach. I'm just excited to get here, meet everybody and sit down and talk with everybody again. So I'm really looking forward to it."
Bortles, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel and Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater are the three likely selections the Texans have to choose between if they want to take a quarterback with their top selection in the draft. Houston also has scheduled a pre-draft visit with Manziel set for next week.
The Texans know they are taking a quarterback at some point in the draft. If it will be at No. 1, Bortles and Manziel seem to have become the two options Houston is focusing on the most.
Report: Pair of South Carolina prospects wanted for police questioning
A pair of prospects from the University of South Carolina is apparently wanted for questioning by police in relation to an incident at a New York City nightclub last week.
According to TMZ, defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles and cornerback Victor Hampton are "wanted for questioning at the very least" stemming from an alleged attack at Greenhouse nightclub.
A club promoter allegedly suffered "extensive facial injuries" after being allegedly attacked by three men. No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
With less than four weeks to go until the NFL Draft, college prospects are still directly under the spotlight of teams as they continue to adjust and tweak their draft boards. While the investigation is still in its preliminary stages, it likely won't benefit Quarles and Hampton to have their names tied to a police investigation.
Both players are expected to be drafted based on projections. However, if they are found to be involved in this incident it could affect just when teams decided to take a chance on the,.
Chris Johnson says Jets visit went well but no decision yet
Free agent running back Chris Johnson visited with the New York Jets on Tuesday. It was his first visit since being released by the Tennessee Titans earlier this month.
After visiting with the Jets, Johnson decided to take in Tuesday night's game between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets. While at the game, he spoke with multiple reporters regarding his visit.
Per Josina Anderson of ESPN, Johnson said "I had a great visit with the Jets. I'm just taking it one day at a time."
Johnson reiterated those thoughts to Peter Botte of the New York Daily News but added he's "not ready to make my decision."
Johnson had a down year in 2013 for Tennessee but still posted his sixth straight 1,000-yard season. However, the 3.9 yards per carry were the lowest mark of his career.
The Jets ranked sixth in the league in rushing last season with Bilal Powell and Chris Ivory as the primary options out of the backfield. Johnson would likely work in as part of a rotation alongside Powell and Ivory should he elect to sign with the Jets. But, Johnson is also a home run threat whose speed could be a real addition to the lineup.
For now, Johnson isn't ready to make a decision as he's possibly holding out for a better offer from the Jets or another team. However, if he doesn't make a decision soon, teams may elect to wait until after the draft to re-evaluate their needs and Johnson may have to wait to find a new home.
Lions intend to split the running back role between Bush and Bell
The Lions have a pair of potent tailbacks. And they plan to use both of them. Perhaps equally.
According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said Tuesday that Reggie Bush and Joique Bell will share the load.
"[T]his game is a violent game anymore and it's hard for one running back to get all the carries," Lombardi said. "So much like they did last year, I see these guys kind of having a split role and both being very productive."
Last year, Bush and Bell became the first teammates in league history to rack up both 500 yards rushing and 500 yards receiving in the same season.
Based on salaries, Bush likely is in line to be the starter. But Bell will get plenty of opportunities, and the shared role will help both guys stay healthy deeper into the season — and to play deeper into the decade.
Derek Carr isn't lacking in confidence
When it comes to the 2014 crop of rookie quarterbacks, most consider three of them to be at the top of the heap: Teddy Bridgewater, Blake Bortles, and Johnny Manziel.
There's a fourth guy who believes he's better than all of them.
Appearing on NFL Network on Tuesday, Fresno State's Derek Carr was asked whether he's the best quarterback in the draft.
"Absolutely," Carr said. "And I say that with respect to all of the other guys because they are great competitors and all of those good things. Of course it's not easy for me to answer a question like that but I absolutely think so. There is no doubt in my mind and we can turn the film on, sit down and watch it, and we'll talk about it and I'll convince you."
Plenty of franchises are interested in having that conversation with a potential franchise quarterback. In a separate appearance on the league-owned broadcast channel, Carr rattled off a list of teams with which he has met.
"Jacksonville, Cleveland, Oakland, Tampa, Minnesota – just the first that come off the top of my head," Carr said. "Tennessee. I've been with them, working out with them, visiting with them, talking to them, the whole process. Those have been the initial ones so far."
Carr's brother, David, was the first pick in the 2002 draft. After five years as the starter in Houston, Carr has served as a backup with the Panthers, Giants, 49ers, and Giants again.
Trump has realistic shot of being approved
Despite the bluster, the bravado, and the convenient revisions to the history of his antagonism of the NFL, billionaire Donald Trump would have a good chance of being approved as owner of the Bills, if the family of Ralph Wilson decides to sell the team to him.
"I don't see why not," a source with direct knowledge of the dynamics of team ownership told PFT on Tuesday. "He's the only one saying it will stay in Buffalo."
But what of Trump's thirst for attention, his potential inability to put the greater good above his own interests, his tendency to be belligerent and combative with real or imagined enemies?
"I don't think there are nine people to stop him," the source said, in reference to the fact that nine "no" votes from other owners can block the sale.
Of course, a vote of the owners won't matter unless the Wilson family chooses to sell the team to Trump. It's one thing for Trump to talk publicly about buying the franchise. It's quite another to put the cash and financing together to make the purchase.
Anthony Barr intrigued by playing in Dallas
The Cowboys need defensive linemen. And multiple defensive linemen in the draft pool would like to play for the Cowboys. The question is whether they'll be there when the Cowboys are on the clock.
And whether the Cowboys will move up the board to get them.
A day after Pitt's Aaron Donald visited Big D, UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr arrived. And he talked about his interest in the Cowboys.
"There's pros and cons to every team and everywhere you go, but if I were a Cowboy, that would be really a blessing, truly a dream come true – a team I watched growing up," Barr said, via the team's official website. "It would just be surreal. I would be really appreciative to be here."
During his visit, Barr spent time with defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli.
"He showed me a lot of tape of [Julius] Peppers and Simeon Rice and [Warren] Sapp, so I think he wants me playing that defensive right end position to go after the quarterback, and that's something I'm all for," Barr said.
Barr also was a little star struck by the folks from the team with the blue star.
"I met Jerry Jones last night, and I couldn't believe it," Barr said. "I couldn't even talk at first, like, 'This is Jerry Jones.' It was a pretty cool experience, so these guys get my respect right off the bat."
He'll get their respect if he becomes a Cowboy, and if he helps lead the team back to the days of glory.
Report: 49ers "very unlikely" to pick up option on Aldon Smith
The 49ers have until May 3 to decide whether to extend the contract of linebacker Aldon Smith from four years to five. In the wake of his latest off-field incident, we reported that the 49ers haven't made a decision on whether to pick up the option.
Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News reports that the team is "very unlikely" to extend the deal.
Kawakami also believes that Smith "probably" won't play for the 49ers in 2014. The mechanism for Smith's unavailability is unclear. He could be suspended by the league under multiple policies and/or he could be placed on the non-football injury/illness list by the team if he has had a relapse of his alcohol issues.
The decision not to exercise the option reinforces the notion that the 49ers may indeed be done with Smith, at least for now. Exercising the option would guarantee his 2015 salary of $9.75 million for injury only. As of next March, it would be fully guaranteed.
For now, Smith's 2014 salary also is guaranteed. A suspension would wipe out the guarantee, however. Likewise, if the 49ers were to place Smith on the NFI list, they wouldn't have to pay him.
The risk of owing him $9.75 million in 2015 remains small. Which would make a decision not to pick up the option confusing. If the 49ers are done with Smith, why not trade him? He'd be more attractive in trade if his new team would control his rights for two years.
Regardless of how the situation plays out, the 49ers clearly are exploring their options. And those options include Smith never suiting up for the 49ers again.
Report: Rolando McClain's workout with Ravens "not a roaring success"
In a recent interview with the Carroll County Times, linebacker Rolando McClain indicated he wanted to restart his NFL career with the Ravens, who hold his rights after his retirement last spring.
Well, McClain reportedly had a workout with the Ravens, and the first accounts of that meeting are not flattering for the 2010 first-round pick.
According to Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network, McClain's workout, from what she was told, "was NOT [her emphasis] a roaring success," with the linebacker not completing the conditioning part of the exercise.
According to Matt Zenitz of the Carroll County Times, the workout was conducted Tuesday, and it "did not go well."
Speaking at the NFL meetings in March, Ravens coach John Harbaugh made it clear the club would welcome back McClain, but only if he were diligent about his craft.
"If he's working his rear end off, then I'm kind of excited about him," Harbaugh said, via ESPN.com. "If he's not, then I've got no interest in him being on our team."
The 24-year-old McClain last appeared in an NFL game in 2012 with Oakland.
Falcons waive Saeed Lee, Adam Nissley
The Falcons waived defensive back Saeed Lee and tight end Adam Nissley on Tuesday, the club said.
Lee and Nissley spent the 2013 season on injured reserve.
The 23-year-old Lee signed with the Falcons last May after going undrafted out of Alabama State. He reportedly suffered a leg injury in training camp.
Nissley, 25, also spent the 2012 season on injured reserve. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Nissley suffered two ACL tears in his time with the Falcons. A UCF product, Nissley signed with Atlanta in April 2012.
Source: Schedule release planned for April 22
When it comes to the 2014 schedule, the NFL has said that the target for the release is mid-April, but that the schedule won't be released this week.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the NFL currently plans to release the schedule on Tuesday, April 22.
The unveiling of the schedule could be shifted to Wednesday, April 23 or Thursday, April 24. For now, though, the plan is to pull the sheet off the 256-game slate on Tuesday.
Look for the schedule to be announced in prime-time, with a multi-hour event on NFL Network and something similar to that on ESPN, complete with (if last year's trend holds) an effort to make preliminary picks for games to be played in December.
NCAA begins circling the wagons, starting with food
The NCAA has done plenty of huffing and puffing in the wake of the effort of Northwestern's football team to unionize. The NCAA will now try to blow their house down.
With food.
On Tuesday, the NCAA's Legislative Council determined that student-athletes "can receive unlimited meals and snacks in conjunction with their athletics participation."
So now college football coaches can punctuate meetings by saying, "Let's go eat a goddamn snack."
The move won't become official until April 24, if/when the NCAA Board of Directors approves the move. It would be a shock if they nix it, since preventing something that many assumed already was available to student-athletes could be the moment that the push to secure significantly better treatment for them fully crystallizes.
Then again, that may have already happened.
NFL could discipline Aldon Smith without resolution of pending charges
The NFL's Personal Conduct Policy gives a player the benefit of the doubt when he finds himself in one wrong-place/wrong-time situation. The policy isn't as forgiving when it happens two or more times.
With 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith now involved in a second incident that falls under the Personal Conduct Policy, he could be disciplined before either or both situations are resolved in court.
"With respect to repeat offenders, the Commissioner may impose discipline on an enhanced and/or expedited basis," the league's Personal Conduct Policy states. "In such cases, the timing and nature of the discipline will be determined by the Commissioner based on several factors including, but not limited to: the severity of the initial charge and the later charge, the facts underlying the later charge; the length of time between the initial offense and later charge; and the player or employee's compliance with counseling and other programs."
Last year, Smith was charged with multiple felony counts arising from the alleged possession of illegal weapons. He now faces an eventual felony charge arising from the allegation that he made a false claim of having a bomb while in an airport security line.
With a pair of pending felony incidents, that could be enough to prompt the NFL to move against Smith sooner rather than later.
Multiple players have been suspended by the NFL while charges were still pending. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was suspended six games (reduced to four) without ever being even arrested or charged.
Smith's multiple alcohol-related arrests fall under the substance-abuse policy. The NFL could be influenced by those incidents when deciding whether to discipline Smith before either of the two non-alcohol charges has been resolved.

For Instructors
WSSC. Are you going?
03/12/2011 8:20 am
I?ll answer my own question. No. I?m not going. Not this year anyway. I know, for all the reasons not to go, there are dozens of reasons TO go. But, its just not gonna happen. So, I tell myself, get over it and see what else you can do. I have friends and co-instructors who are already packing their bags. Plan #1 is to pick their brains when they get back. Have you ever talked with anyone who has gone to WSSC? If you have, you know the look. They come back with a glow. They are pumped, full of new ideas, renewed energy, sparked creativity and having had lots of fun. When groups go together, there is always that wonderful sense of familiarity ? of shared experiences. Plan #2 is to take advantage of all the hype and information that will be liberally distributed both before and after WSSC. I look forward to reading blog posts, forum comments, announcements and recaps. If you are like me and won?t be able to physically attend WSSC, we can be sure to ?tune in? ? be aware of what is happening many states away during that first week in June and experience second and third-hand some of the event?s highlights or pick up on some of the valuable tidbits that will be floating in cyberspace. As instructors we run the risk of depletion. We put huge effort and energy into designing, planning and then teaching our classes. We are human. We fatigue. We run out of ideas. BUT, we don?t need to reinvent the wheel. As instructors, we share a bond. We share goals and we test means to reach those goals. We support, sustain and encourage each other through words and actions. We do not need to be sitting on a bike next to another instructor to realize the benefits of being part of the Spinning® community. Yes, you?ve felt it. You?ve been in a huge venue with hundreds of bikes and felt the surge of power that comes from unity ? multiple and miscellaneous riders all trying to reach similar goals. If not, you?ve been in a class that ?clicks? ? a class in which the focus is on and the participants ?get it.? These are memorable moments ? moments that remind us to keep going. Moments that provide a taste of that which we want to devour. If you have read my previous blog posts, you know that my event is Boston Balance. I have attended two and will probably continue to refuel in Boston every fall until I can no longer remain upright on a Spinner®! Boston is manageable for me and the size is perfect ? not too big and not too small. There?s an intimacy to Boston that touches me. Each year I have connected with Master Instructors who have continued to be a part of my Spinning® life through email and phone conversations since I have had the privilege of meeting them. Each year I enhance my understanding of Spinning® training and experience powerful rides and intense learning. This past year, for example, I was staggered by Josh Taylor?s ride, ?300?, deeply moved by Donna Minotti?s ?Healing Journey?, and exhilarated by Caroline Dawson?s RDEZ session. Now, this is the space in which WSSC comes into my personal picture. Merely contemplating WSSC, even though I will not be able to attend, rekindles the fires from Boston. Considering the sessions at WSSC reminds me of the many continuing education workshops in which we can participate throughout the year. Simply pondering WSSC makes me appreciate anew the depth of what we are trying to accomplish and the wealth of tools with which we are supplied to work on our tasks. Wow, I?m excited just thinking about it! So ? if you are going to WSSC, ride one for me, will you? Bring home some good stuff to share. And, have a blast!

Lady GaGa asked Boy George to sign her vagina.
I guess Lady GaGa feels she has something to prove, because at a recent concert, she asked the ambiguously-gendered Boy George to sign her vagina. Boy George declined the offer.
She made it a point to prove her womanhood in the "Telephone" video.
During the "Telephone" music video, GaGa is stripped naked, and a female guard can be heard saying "I told you she didn't have a dick". She then leaps up onto the bars and proves she's all woman.
GaGa's vagina is offended.
When asked about what was happening in her pants by an Australian newspaper, Lady Gaga said "My beautiful vagina is very offended. I'm not offended; my vagina is offended."
Then there's this.
Lady GaGa's already ostentatious outfits have become a lot more revealing as of late, making it clear that she is not hiding and extra genitalia.
Lady Gaga's alleged vagina is getting a lot of attention these days, probably because some immature jerks claimed she had a penis, and she's deperate to prove otherwise. Here's the scoop on what GaGa's bits have been up to. posted on

Shapley wrote:My wife and I had the pleasure of attending the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra's concert here in Cape Girardeau last night. Ward Stare conducted.
The performance opened with Berlioz' Roman Carnival Overture, which was quite enjoyable. This was followed by Strauss' tone poem, Don Juan. It was well executed, but I'm still not a fan of Strauss.
Following a brief intermission, the concert resumed with Brahm's 2nd Symphony. It was a very enjoyable performance. However, since my wife complains that classical music puts her to sleep, a selection which begins with variations on a lullaby was probably not the best choice. She did, however, stay awake throughout the performance, and seemed to enjoy the performance. We were in the front row which, unfortunately, prevents seeing most of the orchestra, but it does afford an excellent view of the strings and the conductor.
All in all, a pleasant evening, and a refreshing respite from the headaches brought about by the continuing weather woes here. The respite, alas, only lasted until we reached the parking lot, where we slipped and slid our way back to the vehicle to head home.

E:60 just celebrated their 5th anniversary this week, and it's hard to think the newsmagazine show has had a finer moment than this Steve Smith interview with Chris Connelly. After Connelly asks Smith a question about his fight with former teammate Ken Lucas, the Carolina Panthers wide receiver gives him a blank stare and awkward pause that seems to last as long as a Yankees-Red Sox game. Ok, so it was really just 9 seconds, but it felt like an eternity.

In today's maintenance and reliability community, two types of facility managers exist: those who already use computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) to run their day-to-day operations, and those who will in the near future. CMMS has proven to be an indispensable tool in the management of manufacturing, institutional, and commercial facilities.
CMMS allows scheduling of maintenance tasks, tracking work orders, and managing parts inventory. The resulting benefits include reduced downtime, increased equipment life, and lower overall maintenance costs.
The real problem associated with CMMS is selecting the right package. With literally hundreds of packages available, how does a CMMS novice find the right one? First, understand how CMMS operates. Next, ask what you want CMMS to do for you. Finally, evaluate the features offered by different CMMS packages and compare them to your needs.
How CMMS works
Most CMMS packages contain four components: entry screens, reporting screens, administrative tools, and a database.
In entry screens, you record equipment information, including identification number and maintenance schedule. You also input the maintenance tasks associated with equipment, including labor (in-house or contract), parts and tools (consumable vs. nonconsumable), and procedures.
Once that information is entered, reporting screens display it in a logical, user-friendly format. For example, work order due reports give detailed lists of maintenance due on specific days. Preformatted financial reports and graphs also help you analyze and manage your operation.
Administrative tools allow you to configure the software to meet your specific needs. With most packages, you can assign user passwords and rights. Also, you can set up most packages to skip weekends and holidays when calculating maintenance due dates, moving due dates to the previous or next day.
The database stores the records you enter. Popular database formats include Access, FoxPro, dBase, and Paradox. Some organizations might use client/server databases, such as Oracle or MS SQL Server, to handle multiple users and large volumes of data more efficiently.
Your needs
All maintenance managers share the same goal: minimizing maintenance costs while maximizing equipment uptime. However, different managers use different approaches to accomplish this goal. Therefore, determining your specific needs is the logical starting place when selecting a CMMS package. Answer the following questions.
By clearly defining your needs, you will be better able to evaluate the features found in CMMS packages.
CMMS features
Most CMMS packages offer the following standard features:
Database. As discussed earlier, CMMS packages store information in a database, which should be in an industry-standard format, like those mentioned earlier. If you want to use the software in a PC environment, choose a package compatible with your current setup. If you are purchasing the client/server system, choose a mainstream database program such as Oracle, MS SQL Server, IBM DB2, Informix, or Sybase.
User interface. Many CMMS packages use a graphical interface that operates under Windows 95, 98, or NT (few Macintosh or character-mode applications are available). The interface should conform to industry design standards so users can learn the program quickly and efficiently. It should look and function like your word processing and spreadsheet programs; it also should use peripheral devices without needing application-specific configurations.
Record types. CMMS packages should include, at minimum, master equipment records, including detailed maintenance history, along with equipment tracking and maintenance procedure records. Many packages also include records for parts, tools, and suppliers, along with employee and purchase order records.
Functions. The software should be able to automatically calculate maintenance due dates based on maintenance schedules. It also should easily sort and filter records by ID, location, description, and due date. To save record entry time and ensure accuracy, the software should allow you to copy records and use list boxes, which let you select entries from lists of specific items.
Reporting. Good CMMS packages offer a variety of sorting and filtering options for reports and let you preview reports before printing them. Advanced packages let you e-mail reports, export them to word processing or spreadsheet programs, and publish them as HTML pages on your web site.
Standard reports should include equipment records, maintenance due notices, and maintenance history. Work orders and label printing are also useful. If a package does not support custom reports, you might be able to use an external report-writing utility, such as Access, Excel, or Seagate's Crystal Reports, to design the reports you need. Remember, though, this program must be compatible with the CMMS database.
Security. Database security is an important CMMS issue. Look for a package that uses multilevel security (users have different access levels). You should be able to control each user's right to view, add, change, and delete records. Some packages let you vary these rights by program area, so that, for example, a user can create new equipment records but not new purchase orders. Advanced security systems can even maintain an audit trail log—a running history of user names and actions, including date performed.
Options. Helpful options to enhance the system are available with many packages:
As you look at various CMMS packages, ask yourself how each one meets your specific needs. Maintaining this focused approach is the best way to select a package that is right for your facility. By taking the time now to thoroughly research and evaluate your options, you avoid regretting hasty decisions later. MT

Loved by customers, loved by colleagues; it has a special place in the Kiddicare heritage as it's named after the children of the founding Weavers family.
bought this for space saver cot which is only going to be used when grandson comes to stay,so needed something that was not too expensive this is great value for the price i paid.
The mattress fits my 11 year old Kiddicare cot perfectly and is ideal for when the grandchildren come to stay
This mattress was bought as a cot for visiting granddaughter. It seems of good quality and I must compliment Kiddicare on the efficiency of their delivery system. We were kept updated on delivery down the very hour of arrival and even the name of the person who was delivering. Really useful near Christmas when you need to be out and about more. The mattress was the recommended one for the cot, but my only initial worry was that the seemed to have quite a gap at the edges of the cot. However, on checking online, this seemed to be 1 cm within the safety guidelines, so I was reassured. The cot is an unusual size so I can understand why it doesn't fit really snugly, though I would have preferred a tighter fit.
The delivery service was excellent. I was notified of an hour slot when the mattress would be delivered and it arrived within that timescale.
Mattress was very firm,would consider spending abit more if I had known this however it's just for the temporary cot whilst little un still in our room. Still an excellent service & delivery.

ROCKFORD, Ill. – The Regents took to the field on Sunday afternoon looking to knock off rival Concordia Chicago for the first time since the 2010 season. The Cougars entered the day with a 13-4 record and ranked 19th in the country. After a slow start to the season, the Regents have really turned it around recently and were up to task on Sunday.
Game one was a low scoring pitchers dual where the team that made the fewest mistakes was going to leave with the victory. Junior pitcher Daryn Streed (Belvidere, Ill./North) was sensational on the mound for Rockford. Streed held the Cougars scoreless through the first 4 innings while allowing just 1 hit. The Rockford offense would provide him with some run support in the bottom of the fourth scoring 3 runs to break a 0-0 tie. Kevin Miller (Elk Grove, Ill./Elk Grove) would get things going as he led off the inning with a single into right field. Streed would follow up Miller's single with a single of his own to put runners on 1st and 2nd with no one out. Two batters later Ryne Billesbach (Belvidere, Ill./North) would single through the right side of the infield loading the bases with one out. Rockford would take the lead when Ryan Lesner (Algonquin, Ill./Harry D. Jacobs) ripped a 2-run double past the first baseman scoring Miller and Streed. After a fielder's choice and an error the Regents would add one more run on an RBI walk. The Cougars would answer right back in the top of the fifth scoring 2 runs and threatening for more with runners on second and third and only one out. Streed would buckle down striking out the next batter and get the following batter to groundout to hold onto the 3-2 lead. Rockford would get one of the two runs back in the bottom of the 5th. Again it was Kevin Miller who got the Regents started with a lead off single to right center field. Streed again followed suite with single to right field placing runners once again on first and second with no outs. After a sacrifice bunt and a walk loaded the bases, catcher Terry Wiltshire (Elizabeth, Ill./River Ridge) would hit a high chopper to third base for an RBI single giving Rockford a 4-2 lead. Streed would take care of the rest working in and out of trouble and stranding 6 Cougar base runners over the final 4 innings to preserve the 4-2 win.
Game two had a very similar feel of pitchers dual where runs would be difficult to come by. Rockford would take a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a double play ball with the bases loaded. The Regents would manufacture a run in the bottom of the second to make it a 2-0 lead. With runners on first and third with two outs Matt Grimes (O'Fallon, Mo./Fort Zumwalt West ) got in and stayed in a rundown just long enough for Ryan Lesner to score before being tagged out to end the inning. Sophomore pitcher Kaleb Rich (Washington, Iowa/Washington) followed up Streed's excellent outing with solid outing of his own. Rich held the Cougars scoreless for the first three innings but gave up a run in the fourth inning making it just a 2-1 lead. The offense would get that run back in the bottom of the sixth inning. With one out in the inning, Ryne Billesbach smoked a triple of the wall in left field. Billesbach would score two batters later on a throwing error to make it 3-1 lead. It would remain a two run lead for the Regents as Rich continued to shut down the Cougar offense threw the first 7 innings of the game. The top of the eighth inning would be a different story as the Cougars would take advantage of a few Rockford miscues and score 6 runs to take a 7-3 lead. The Regents were unable to answer over the final two innings and lost game two by a final of 7-3. The loss dropped Rockford to 2-2 in conference play.
The starting pitching was the main story in both games. Coming of his previous appearance where he allowed just 2 hits over 6.2 innings to pick up his first win of the year, Streed picked up right where he left off. Streed threw his first complete game of the year allowing just two runs to the highest scoring team in the Northern Athletics Conference. The junior struck out 6 Cougars and was able to get out of jams with strikeouts at key moments in the game. Kaleb Rich gave Rockford 7 strong innings of work in game two but was unable to overcome some mishaps in the field and get through the eighth inning.
The baseball team will be off until Saturday, April 7th when they travel to Mequon, Wis. to play Concordia University Wisconsin. First pitch is scheduled for 12:00 p.m.

Packers Playbook (aka Hobbjective Analysis): Week 14 vs. Detroit Lions
If they did that thing they do ESPN where they track how many yards that you actually run, and the speed…I hope they wouldn't put the speed up on there but maybe the distance that I ran; had to be close to 50 yards, that's a long sprint, I haven't been doing a lot of those lately. – Aaron Rodgers, Tuesday's with Aaron 2012/11/12
Challenge accepted! But first the hobbjective analysis.
The Situation: The Packers are trailing the Lions 14 to 10 with 12 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. The Packers offense has been a little off, while Rodgers and company have managed to move the ball fairly well against the Lions, they haven't had many opportunities, several 3 and outs, a fumble and some clock-killing drives from the Lions means that the offense hasn't had much of a chance of getting settled.
The Formation: The Packers come out in a 3-1-1 formation (3WR-1TE-1RB) with WR James Jones (89) split out wide left followed by WR Randall Cobb (18) in the left slot. WR Greg Jennings (85) is split out wide right while TE Jermicheal Finley (88) is about a yard outside of the offensive line to the right tackle. Finally, QB Aaron Rodgers (12) is in the shotgun with FB John Kuhn (30) to the right of him. The offensive line is composed of LT Marshall Newhouse (74), LG Evan Dietrich-Smith (62), C Jeff Saturday (63), RG Josh Sitton (71) and RT Don Barclay (67). In response the Lions come out with a 4-3 cover-2 defense that everyone has been playing against the Packers offense. Take a notice of how far back the Lions safeties are set, a good 20 yards away from the line of scrimmage. In this case, it looks like the mike linebacker is going to rush through A gap instead of dropping into coverage.
The Snap: Things don't go smoothly for the Packers. Needing only 4 yards for a 1st down, QB Rodgers first read is probably TE Finley who is running a flat pattern (1), but either trips or gets caught up with the defender which causes the play to fall apart. Both DEs manage to get great penetration into the backfield and at this point, Rodgers is getting ready to take a hit. Take note of what the secondary is doing, no one has left their man and the safeties are still covering their halves.

Rally to support Oakland City Council Resolution for Peace with IranNovember 6, 2007
CODEPINK Oakland
Oakland, CA
Oakland City Council passed a resolution for peace with Iran!
About 40 concerned Oakland residents and activists from CODEPINK Women for Peace, Global Exchange, Women of Color Resource Center, and many other groups gathered outside the Oakland City Hall this evening to support a resolution against a military attack on Iran. Oakland City Councilwomen Jane Brunner and Nancy Nadel introduced a resolution condemning US efforts to bomb Iran and interfere in Iran's internal affairs that was then unanimously passed at tonights city council meeting. Activists organized a rally before the meeting began to show support for this resolution from anti-war groups, Iranian community organizations, and Oakland residents concerned about the threat of a war with Iran. City councilmember Jane Brunner addressed the community rally before the meeting began. Concerned residents and activists, including Sanaz Meshkinpour, spoke in favor of the resolution during the City Council meeting.
Directly to and with our locally elected officials, we are raising our voices to demand support for in-need communities at home AND not for greater war and violence abroad, said Sanaz Meshkinpour, Middle East Reality Tours coordinator at Global Exchange. The $460 billion dollars the US has spent occupying and destroying the country of Iraq could instead be going education, healthcare, and stopping the violence at home. Were working with local governments, peace groups, Iranian organizations, Jewish congregations, and concerned citizens to send a clear message to Congress: Dont authorize an attack on Iran! said Rae Abileah, national organizer with CODEPINK and Oakland resident.
City resolutions for peace with Iran allow local governments to support peace and diplomacy, and express opposition to further US military aggression, stated Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK and Global exchange. One of CODEPINKs best-known mottos (and the title of the groups 2005 book) is Stop the Next War Now! In light of ongoing belligerent remarks of US officials and presidential candidates toward Iran, CODEPINK, Global Exchange and Cities for Progress launched a campaign to encourage cities to pass resolutions calling for diplomacy with Iran, not war. San Francisco and Berkeley have already passed resolutions against a military attack of Iran. In Richmond, Mayor Gayle McLaughlin and Councilmembers Tony Thurmond and Maria Viramontes of the Richmond City Council also introduced a similar resolution for peace with Iran.

Barcelona has been chosen as the venue for the 17th European Incentive, Business Travel & Meetings Exhibition, to take place November 30 to December 2, 2004, and for the following four years. EIBTM has been held at the Palexpo in Geneva in May since its inception in 1988. Ray Bloom and Paul Flackett launched EIBTM and sold the show to Reed Travel Exhibitions in the late 1990s.
The EIBTM announcement came on the heels of another by Meeting Professionals International, which says that it has joined forces with Bloom, who is launching a new European travel and meetings show, IMEX, premiering in April in Frankfurt. MPI and IMEX will co-market their European events, with the goal of driving attendance to the MPI 2003 Professional Education Conference-Europe, slated for April 4 to 6 in Berlin, and to IMEX, April 8 to 10 in Frankfurt.
Under the agreement, all MPI members preregistered for the PEC-E and IMEX will receive complimentary train transfer from Berlin to Frankfurt and a hosted dinner at the newly renovated Sheraton Frankfurt Hotel and Towers. Additionally, the Sheraton Frankfurt will provide all preregistered MPI planners with a two-night complimentary stay (April 7 and 8). MPI will host one educational session at IMEX, while IMEX will sponsor the attendance of 50 European students at the PEC-E. IMEX will feature 2,000 exhibitors and is projecting 5,500 attendees, including 2,500 hosted buyers.
EIBTM will hold its final Geneva show May 20 to 22, 2003. EIBTM studied detailed submissions from 10 European cities before coming up with a list of five that it considered for future shows: Barcelona, Geneva, Lisbon, Madrid, and Vienna. Barcelona was chosen because it was the most preferred choice of exhibitors, group coordinators, hosted buyers, and other trade visitors in independent research carried out on behalf of EIBTM.
EIBTM has confirmed that the show will move to a new venue every five years.
And Tecnomeeting, a three-day annual business exhibition catering to the congress, convention, and incentive industry and held in June at Fira de Barcelona, will be incorporated into EIBTM 2004.
