Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com John Doyle: Another winter to remember is in the books
Sunday, March 17, 2013
Editor's note: Staff sports writer John Doyle pens his annual column on the best of the winter-sports tournament season, as seen through his own eyes.
BEST INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE BY A NON-LOCAL ATHLETE: Pembroke's Patrick Welch, who torched Coe-Brown for 28 points in its rout of the Bears in the D-II semis. Welch must have seen something on Twitter or Facebook earlier in the day that made him awfully mad, because he played like he was angry. Welch went 9 for 10 from the field in the first half of that game for 21 points, which included a fast-break 3-pointer that was devastating to Coe-Brown. Honorable mention in this category goes to Memorial's Pollock, who scored three goals in less than four minutes of the third period to erase a 3-0 St. Thomas Aquinas lead in the D-I hockey semifinals. No.1 Memorial went on to win in overtime, and beat Manchester Central in overtime in the final.
Besides, Dover a year earlier was the No. 15 seed and won at No. 2 Salem, so first-round upsets are nothing new for this group. BEST PERFORMANCE BY A LOCAL TEAM GOING UP AGAINST A JUGGERNAUT: Oyster River girls hockey in the D-I final. They had very little chance to upset undefeated Hanover, which is the class of girls hockey in New Hampshire. Once the Bobcats fell into a 2-0 hole early in the second period, it was pretty much over. But Oyster River stood tough, scoring midway through the second period and trailing 2-1 throughout most of the third. There was hope. Not a lot, but some. Unfortunately for the Bobcats, they couldn't get the equalizer and the Marauders held on for their fifth title in the six-year history of NHIAA girls hockey tournaments. Hanover outshot Oyster River 36-10.
BEST COMEBACK: Somersworth in the D-III boys basketball prelims. The seventh-seeded Hilltoppers trailed No. 10 Prospect throughout most of the fourth quarter. Hunter Kretschmar converted two key free throws in the final seconds to give Somersworth the lead and Josh Ream came down with a big rebound as time expired to give the Hilltoppers a 43-42 win.
FINAL NOTE: Congratulations to the Dover and Oyster River girls swimming teams for winning the Division I and II state championships, respectively. It was the Green Wave's fourth title in five years. The Marshwood wrestling team won the Maine Class A state title for the second straight year, and last but not least, the Coe-Brown girls took home the D-II indoor track crown? |

quote:How do you get his lines? Or are you betting them when they are already 1-2 points in the opposite direction?
quote:sbrforum. On opening night I did lose like 1-2 points, but it didn't make a difference, still went 4-2.
quote:It may be working, but in the long run, the value is already gone when lines move that much. half points are fine, but once the line is a point or more off, the value is gone

An absolute eosinophil count is a blood test that measures the number of white blood cells called eosinophils. Eosinophils become active when you have certain allergic diseases, infections, and other medical conditions.
Eosinophils; Absolute eosinophil count
Most of the time blood is drawn from a vein on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The site is cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). The health care provider wraps an elastic band around your upper arm to make the vein swell with blood.
Next, the heath care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm. The needle is then removed and the site is covered to stop bleeding.
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to prick the skin. The blood collects in a small glass tube, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage is put on the spot to stop bleeding.
In the lab, the blood is placed on a microscope slide. A stain is added to the sample. This causes eosinophils to show up as orange-red granules. The technician then counts how many eosinophils are present per 100 cells. The percentage of eosinophils is multiplied by the white blood cell count to give the absolute eosinophil count.
Most of the time adults do not need to take special steps before this test. Tell your doctor the medicines you are taking, including ones you buy without a prescription. Some drugs may change the test results.
Medicines that may cause you to have an increase in eosinophils include:
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted. You may also feel some throbbing at the site after the blood is drawn.
You will have this test to see if you have abnormal results from a blood differential test. This test may also be done if the doctor thinks you may have a specific disease.
This test may help diagnose:
Less than 350 cells per microliter (cells/mcL).
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The example above shows the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
A high number of eosinophils (eosinophilia) is often linked to allergic diseases and infections from parasites such as worms. A high eosinophil count may be due to:
A lower-than-normal eosinophil count may be due to:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size so it may be harder to take a blood sample in some people.
Other slight risks from having blood drawn are slight but may include:
The eosinophil count is used to help confirm a diagnosis. The test cannot tell if the higher number of cells is caused by allergy or parasite infection.

US always accuse other countries and international hackers attacking the internet. Recently, news revealed that US created virus "Stuxnet" and "flame" and attacked the other country with them. The criminal style is familiar. US had tried to frame Iraq to be the perpetrator of anthrax attack and finally scientists found it came from US own secret lab. So is Internet attack.
Confirmed: US and Israel created Stuxnet, lost control of it
by Nate Anderson- June 1 2012
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012 ... rol-of-it/
As a matter of fact, internet attack is a popular tactic used by the Feds. My computer is harassed by the Feds. The window screen I watch frequently missing. The written article lost paragraph function and being sectioned with different fonts and size, made it hard to read. Recently, some information stored in UBS is lost. Sometimes when I clicked up for a file, a pop up would say,
File in use
False flag and framed case.rtf is locked for editing by 'another user'.
Another user is editing my file? Obviously it's the surveillance team. That's an open intimidation.
Moreover, I have been blocked to access some web sites last month. They are:
*Contra Coast Times.
* The TribTalk Message Boards have been taken offline indefinitely. A server move a few weeks ago corrupted the database, which would mean starting over with the boards. Considering the resources available to do that, and the relatively small amount of traffic the boards get, the decision was made to simply close them. We thank you for your participation and invite you to join in our story comments at sltrib.com or interact with us on Twitter (@sltrib) or Facebook (www.facebook.com/saltlaketribune). If you have any questions or concerns please email email@example.com
*The forum you selected has been retired.
http://forums.seattletimes.nwsource.com ... um.php?f=6
All these web sites were set up by media. Media, though controlled by the Feds, have their own opinion on free speech. For most time, they would rather close the board than to censor the speech. So I think the problem to block me to access these web sites were created by the Feds through the surveillance server.
724. Frame a case of Chinese intelligence link(6/20/2012)
C.Y. is a brother of my sister in law. He and his wife W.S.had borrowed my wife's mini van in last May. Since then I alleged them tried to frame a relationship between my family and the Chinese secret police (or maybe "drug gang"? who knows.). (see "668. Chinese secret police (5/5/2011)") The tactic repeated three times, two in his brothers' name - C.Y. has two brothers.
In later February, for the third time in eight months, they asked to borrow the mini van again. The justification were same: they had to pick up their friends in air port with large amount of luggage. Since last May, I turned a cold shoulder to them. They let my brother and sister in law to pick up the car. I refused. I told my sister in law that I thought her brother couple were the Chinese agents and worked for the Feds. They had evil purpose to link my family to the Chinese secret police. I wish such a plain revelation would prevent C.Y. couple from harassing us any more.
One month ago, I trimmed the yard tree with a ladder. At night, the couple called my wife to borrow that ladder. Of course, I refused. I was surprised that even for the revealed snitch, the Feds would try to squeeze them for every bit of it.
Then early this month, I refused a dinner invitation. It was a family meal for my daughter's birthday. The reason I declined to go was I think the owner of that restaurant is a Chinese agent.
In 2000, I returned to the US from drift in South-east Asia. The travel company my wife worked for was moving to Milpitas. That restaurant opened a little bit later was in same shopping center - not far away from the entrance to that travel company. The restaurant supplies Shanghai dishes. The boss - G.X.B of R. was a woman came from Shanghai.
My wife soon became friend of G.X.B of R.. When my relatives came to San Jose, they used to go to that restaurant for the food of homeland taste.
I never go to that restaurant. I am too familiar with Feds' style. They put their snitches as close as possible and fit everything from food, clothes, languages to the targets. That restaurant could be viewed as a liaison spot of Chinese intelligence - though it was established under the will of the Feds. How easy it is to apply for a FISA warrant by just sending the targets to that restaurant.
There is also other reason I won't go to that kind of the shop.

Yeah, I did it this year as well. Needless to say I cancelled the auto renewal for next year.
There's an auto renewal? Shit.
On the other hand, living in Virginia, I have no access to FSMW, and GameCenter is cheaper than ordering NHL Network on Cox cable.

It was only a few weeks ago that Global Telecom & Technology closed its acquisition of WBS Connect and now it jumps into 2010 with a new acquisition target – this time it's certain assets of Global Capacity, a Chicago-based company. This deal provides GTT with an additional revenue stream of up to $25 million annually as they buy over 100 customers for up to $8 million in cash.
This is a great way for a company to immediately increase its revenue, profitably, while staying true to its strategy of rapidly scaling its business. What's interesting about this acquisition is that many of the customers to be acquired are already existing customers of GTT. No doubt this familiarity will help retain customers through the transition.
Of course the deal is predicated on proper customer and supplier consent as well as approval by the Federal Communications Commission as GTT is publicly traded – OTCBB: GTLT. With this news, just five calendar days into the New Year, I anticipate 2010 will be a truly exciting year for the Telecommunications sector.
Please continue reading for the full press release:
Company Further Advances Strategy to Scale Business
McLean, VA, January 5, 2010 — Global Telecom & Technology, Inc. ("GTT") (OTCBB: GTLT), a leading global network integrator that provides its clients with a broad portfolio of wide-area network, IP transit and mobility services, today announces it has signed an agreement to acquire certain customers and assets from Chicago-based Global Capacity.
Under the terms of the agreement, GTT will pay up to $8 million in cash for contracts with over 100 data transport customers generating up to $25 million in annualized revenue. GTT expects the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2010, subject to customer and other supplier consents and approval by the Federal Communications Commission.
Structured as a simple transfer of customer contract agreements, this asset acquisition complements GTT's existing business as many of the affected customers are also existing customers of GTT. GTT expects to rapidly integrate these customers into its proprietary operational platform through its Circuit Management Database (CMD), resulting in virtually no service interruptions, minimal incremental support costs, and high quality service assurance for customers.
"Following on the heels of the acquisition of WBS Connect, the addition of Global Capacity's customer base advances GTT's strategy to rapidly scale our global telecom business. With this transaction, we will further leverage our unique intellectual capital and enhance our established reputation for providing reliable telecom services to our global customer base," said Rick Calder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Global Telecom & Technology.
"This is another significant step forward in building cash flow through prudent M&A activity," said Eric Swank, Chief Financial Officer of GTT. "This acquisition provides a great opportunity to leverage our CMD platform, by essentially porting the new circuits into our business, expanding our adjusted EBITDA in the process by layering on contract revenue from a very similar customer base. Due to these synergies, we expect the transaction to be immediately accretive."
This is the second acquisition in less than 60 days for GTT. The company closed its acquisition of WBS Connect on December 16, 2009. The WBS Connect acquisition provides GTT the opportunity to expand its portfolio of IP transit and Ethernet services, and adds over 60 points of presence in major metro markets throughout North America, Asia and Europe.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."- St. John Paul II

(CNN) -- — Editor's note: Antonio Villaraigosa is the 41st mayor of the city of Los Angeles.
My story began like far too many people across this country. My father left when I was 5 years old. My mother, sometimes working two jobs, raised four children on her own in East Los Angeles. She was always my touchstone, the person who taught me my core values. It was her quiet grace, strength in the face of adversity and unflinching will that served me so well in life.
However, despite everything she poured into our family, we kids didn't always make it easy for her. By age 16, I was kicked out of the Catholic school she had worked so hard to send me to.
I found myself at the local public high school, Roosevelt. It was a "drop-out factory." I was put into remedial classes, which I found boring and unchallenging after my previous education. But even worse than that, I felt like the school had given up on me. So, I gave up on myself and dropped out.
My story could have ended there.
I could have become one of my many peers who didn't graduate. But my mother would not accept that fate for me, and a Roosevelt teacher named Herman Katz took an interest in me. They saw my potential and fought for me. They pushed me back into school. They pushed me to finish what I started - and I did, graduating in 1971.
From there, I went to East Los Angeles Community College and transferred to UCLA, one of the finest institutions in the world. At UCLA, I was the beneficiary of affirmative action. Some would say I walked in through the back door. But one thing's for sure, I went out the front. I had a diploma in hand, a future ahead of me and my head held high.
For me, public education really was the great equalizer.
That's why I believe education is the civil rights issue of our time. As a high school dropout, I see a part of myself in every kid who wants to give up because they think the system has failed them. Sadly, the United States now enjoys less economic mobility than Canada and most of Western Europe. Those born into poverty in America lack genuine opportunities to change their fate because they lack access to great public schools.
Now, more than ever, the American dream is linked to our education system. So, as mayor of Los Angeles, I chose to make education a priority. Soon after I took office, we fought to take control of our school district. We were defeated in the court, but we did not give up on improving education for our kids. We worked to elect pro-reform members to the school board, we fought to turn around struggling schools, we expanded school choice and we dedicated ourselves to demanding accountability at every level, from the classroom to the administration. Now, we have a Los Angeles Unified School District that gives parents more power, that works harder to lift every child out of poverty and that strives to offer the same opportunity to every family.
We have not accomplished everything we set out to do, but we have made real progress. Notably, we have doubled the number of Los Angeles schools that meet California's academic performance goal, nearly doubled the percentage of our third graders who are reading proficiently and made double-digit gains in our graduation rate.
How did we do it? First, we knew we had to expand access to better schools in order to serve our most disadvantaged children. So we passed an initiative that allowed charter organizations, teacher teams and other similar groups to run new and failing schools. One-hundred-sixty-four Los Angeles schools have undergone aggressive turnaround efforts. We have also tripled the number of charter schools in Los Angeles, increasing ninefold the number of successful ones - those scoring 800 or more on the state's Academic Performance Index.
Second, we created the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools, an innovative nonprofit that runs 22 of our worst schools, including Roosevelt High School. The Partnership allows us to implement new and creative solutions to our most difficult educational challenges and then export these practices to all district schools. We launched a school report card, increased access to gifted programs and established a Parent College to directly engage parents in their kids' education. This year, if the Partnership were its own school district, it would be the most improved in California.
Third, we are building a system of empowerment and accountability. Every student deserves a great teacher, and our teachers deserve a system that values their contributions and supports their development. We negotiated a contract that places teachers at the forefront of school improvement efforts. We developed a stronger evaluation system and focused on changing broken tenure and layoff policies. And we worked to keep good teachers at struggling schools during the depths of the Great Recession.
Over the last eight years, we've taken important steps forward. We've made a difference in Los Angeles, and the policies and practices I've mentioned here can be emulated across the United States - as long as educators, parents, community members and government leaders all come together to make education a priority and enact change.
However, so much work remains ahead of us. We owe it to every child - no matter the color of their skin or the money in their family's pocket - to build a world-class education system in this country. Because when we fall short of the promise of our schools, we fall short of the promise of our nation. This is simply a future we cannot permit.
The opinions expressed are solely those of Antonio R. Villaraigosa.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — As Republicans nationwide reconsider the party's direction, nowhere is their challenge more daunting than in California.
The state that produced Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon and the "Orange County conservative" has banished the GOP to the margins, with the party now accounting for less than 30 percent of all registered voters.
In an attempt to restore their relevance, Republican delegates are expected to elect Jim Brulte as their new chairman this weekend, a former state lawmaker who is widely seen as a pragmatist and a political moderate.
Brulte says the party's fortunes cannot be reversed overnight, but his plan is to focus on what he calls the GOP's core values, "smaller government, less taxes, greater parental control and more local control."
It remains unclear, however, whether he or anyone else can turn the party around.

Thy_Obsessive_Freak wrote:I agree with Blood lord, if no one minds me being an echo (What? I really wanted to say what he was going to say...)
Anyways. The shading an the shining here is just brilliant Koriku (Like look at how you've used shadow to assist with the perspective of pillow fallen off the bed). I don't care for the way you do folds, but I must admit it does work (I prefer folds with lines).
But anyways, I'm not sure if you intentionally make your characters femine or something. But you certainly do. For one that sleepwear the character's wearing is very skimpy as we can see his legs. Yes guys wear stuff like that to, but it's more associated with women. Plus the hood with ears is more associated with girls, as well as the headband. You also have him blushing as he's folding his leg up, again more asssociated with women. I'm probably being sexiest here, but I'll only stop at that part. You could thicken the eyebrows more and the eye lashes less as well as a longer mouth to make him more manly. That's my suggestion anyways.
As for anything else, those cords of his hood could use some shade to make them look more 3D, unless they're those flat cords. Also I appreciate the way you do hands, but the one with folded fingers also don't look 3D enough, the upper tips look so flat. For example I can only see one shape. This could be nitpicking as the art does look fine, but I'm just hoping to come up with ways that do help you improve Koriku.

Height and weight chart
Growth charts are used to compare your child's height, weight, and head size against children of the same age.
Growth charts can help both you and your health care provider follow your child as he or she grows. These charts may provide an early warning that your child has a medical problem.
Growth charts were developed from information gained by measuring and weighing thousands of children. From these numbers, the national average weight and height for each age and gender were established.
The lines or curves on growth charts tell how many other children in the United States weigh a certain amount at a certain age. For example, the weight on the 50th percentile line means that half of the children in the United States weigh more than that number and half of the children weigh less.
Your child's health care provider will measure the following during each well-child visit:
Beginning at age 2, a child's body mass index (BMI) can be calculated. Height and weight are used to figure out the BMI. A BMI measurement can estimate a child's body fat.
Each of your child's measurements is placed on the growth chart. These measurements are then compared with the standard (normal) range for children of the same gender and age. The same chart will be used as your child grows older.
Many parents worry if they learn that their child's height, weight, or head size is smaller than those of most other children the same age. They worry about whether their child will do well in school, or be able to keep up in sports.
Learning a few important facts can make it easier for parents to understand what different measurements mean:
Some changes to your child's growth chart may worry your health care provider more than others:
Abonormal growth on the growth charts is only a sign of a possible problem. Your doctor will determine whether it is an actual medical problem, or whether your child's growth just needs to be watched carefully.

The reason she doesnt have hands is because HIM chopped them off to make her look more like her father.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common lung diseases. Having COPD makes it hard to breathe.
There are two main forms of COPD:
Most people with COPD have a combination of both conditions.
COPD; Chronic obstructive airways disease; Chronic obstructive lung disease; Chronic bronchitis; Emphysema; Bronchitis - chronic
Smoking is the main cause of COPD. The more a person smokes, the more likely that person will develop COPD. But some people smoke for years and never get COPD.
In rare cases, nonsmokers who lack a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin can develop emphysema.
Other risk factors for COPD are:
Because the symptoms develop slowly, some people may not know that they have COPD.
The best test for COPD is a lung function test called spirometry . This involves blowing out as hard as possible into a small machine that tests lung capacity. The results can be checked right away.
Using a stethoscope to listen to the lungs can also be helpful. But sometimes the lungs sound normal even when a person has COPD.
Imaging tests of the lungs, such as x-rays and CT scans , can be helpful. But sometimes the lungs look normal even when a person has COPD and a chest x-ray has been taken.
Some patients may need to have a blood test called arterial blood gas to measure the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood.
There is no cure for COPD. But there are many things you can do to relieve symptoms and keep the disease from getting worse.
If you smoke, now is the time to quit. This is the best way to slow lung damage.
Medicines used to treat COPD include:
In severe cases or during flare-ups, you may need to receive:
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics during symptom flare-ups, because infections can make COPD worse.
You may need oxygen therapy at home if you have a low level of oxygen in your blood.
Pulmonary rehabilitation does not cure COPD. But it can teach you to breathe in a different way so you can stay active.
You can do things every day to keep COPD from getting worse, protect your lungs, and stay healthy.
Walk to build up strength:
Things you can do to make it easier for yourself around the home include:
Eat healthy foods, including fish, poultry, or lean meat, as well as fruits and vegetables. If it is hard to keep your weight up, talk to a doctor or dietitian about eating foods with more calories.
Surgery may be used to treat COPD, but only a few patients benefit from these surgical treatments:
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
COPD is a long-term (chronic) illness. The disease will get worse more quickly if you do not stop smoking.
If you have severe COPD, you will be short of breath with most activities. You may be admitted to the hospital more often.
Talk with your doctor about breathing machines and end-of-life care.
With COPD, you may have other health problems such as:
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have a rapid increase in shortness of breath .
Not smoking prevents most COPD. Ask your health care provider about quit-smoking programs. Medicines are also available to help you stop smoking.
