As if it wasn't already, it's officially a rivalry now.
Summerville softball had dealt Wando three playoff losses the past two seasons. Reunited in the playoffs for the third straight season Saturday, the Warriors began evening the score.
Wando defeated Summerville, 3-2, in the opening round of the AAAA Lower State tournament Saturday in Mount Pleasant. The Warriors advance to face the winner of the Stratford-Bluffton game, while Summerville will play the loser.
The Green Wave moved the tying run to third base with two outs in the top of the seventh inning. Freshman right-hander Alyssa Heinrich (19-9) sealed the win for the Warriors with her sixth strikeout of the day.
Heinrich scattered seven hits, allowed one earned run with no walks through seven innings in the win. More than 70 percent of her 103 pitches went for strikes.
"Rivalries like this are one of the great parts of high school," Wando head coach Steve Legette said. "(Heinrich) is a great up-and-coming pitcher. We thought it could be a duel today. We told her to just attack. Trust her defense, trust her fundamentals and mechanics and that was the secret."
Summerville (24-5) picked up two runs in the first inning with a sacrifice bunt from Sarah Windham to score Taylor Powell, and a single from Taylor Belfiore to drive in Anna Gluhosky.
Kendall Schweers put Wando (19-9) on top in the second, driving the first pitch she saw to the wall in center field for a bases-clearing, two-out double to score Morgan Howard, Brooke Aden and Katelyn Cribb.
Summerville pitcher Summer Jenkins (18-4) allowed the Warriors just two hits the rest of the day. While Jenkins cruised, the Green Wave offense left a runner stranded in scoring position each of the final three innings.
Jenkins tallied six strikeouts while allowing three earned runs off four hits and three walks. Powell led the Green Wave at the plate, hitting 3 for 4 with a run scored. Howard finished 2 for 3 with a run scored, hitting in the five slot for Wando.
"A little disappointed in our offensive production today," Summerville head coach Heather Tucker said. "We didn't do a great job of adjusting at the plate. Close ball game, you get a runner in scoring position, you just need that one hit and unfortunately we couldn't find it."

Beyonce used the MTV stage yet again to put rumors to rest. Although she confirmed her pregnancy with a belly rub a few years back, this time she used a kiss with her husband Jay Z to perhaps squash reports that the couple is heading for divorce.
On hand to receive the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award, the 32-year-old diva performed a 16-minute set (watch it here) that included "Drunk in Love," "Mine" and "Jealous" as Jay watched from the audience with the couple's daughter Blue Ivy on his lap. After the performance, Jay and Blue came onstage to present a tearful Queen Bey with the award as the adorable 2-year-old said, "Good job, Mommy." Jay Z and Beyonce kissed after he handed her the statuette.

Charleston Southern made the first night game in school history a memorable one. The Bucs scored touchdowns on their first nine possessions, rolled up 502 yards of offense and pitched a shutout on defense to rout Point, 61-9, at Buccaneer Field on Thursday night.
"This was a great night for this school, for this campus," CSU head coach Jamey Chadwell said. "We had so many students come out tonight they had to have them sit in the visitor's section- that's never happened before."
Junior Austin Brown directed seven touchdown drives in an excellent debut as CSU starting quarterback. Brown completed 9-of-12 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for 41 yards and two more scores. Senior Christian Reyes led a 336-yard rushing effort with 81 yards on 10 carries, all in the first half. Sophomore Ben Robinson turned in some highlight reel plays in the first half and added 32 yards and a touchdown on three carries. He also caught three passes for 68 yards, highlighted by a 45-yard grab on a wheel route down the right sideline.
Defensively, the Bucs held Point to 152 yards of offense and forced three-and-outs on two of the Skyhawks' first three drives. Senior safety Demaris Freeman led the charge with seven tackles, and classmate Gabe Middlebrook returned a second quarter fumble 85 yards for a touchdown. Middlebrook's return was the fourth longest in Big South history.
CSU wasted no time in setting the tone after forcing a three-and-out on Point's opening possession. Robinson ripped off a 19-yard run to highlight a four-play, 45-yard drive that Brown capped with a one-yard touchdown keeper.
Mike Holloway added a touchdown on his first carry of the game, taking an option pitch from Danny Croghan III around the right end to put CSU up 14-0 with 6:38 remaining in the first quarter.
The onslaught continued after a short yardage third down stuff by Zac Johnston and Isaac Lowrance, as Brown added his second touchdown of the quarter on a nine-yard punishing run up the middle to put the Bucs ahead 21-0 with 4:02 left in the first quarter.
Point then put together its first extended drive of the game, moving to the CSU 15-yard line with Fortis finding three different receivers. Facing 2nd-and-7, Rufus Mason III took the handoff and was met at the line of scrimmage by Caleb Batchelor, with the CSU sophomore defensive tackle jarring the ball loose. Middlebrook caught the fumble in the air and went untouched down the right sideline for 85 yards to put the Bucs ahead 28-0 with 13:10 remaining in the half.
Robinson capped the Bucs first extended drive of the game midway through the second quarter, carrying the ball in from five yards out to cap an 11-play, 78-yard drive to put CSU ahead 35-0 with 5:16 remaining in the half. Reyes set up the score with five carries for 46 yards on the drive, before turning it over to Robinson inside the red zone.
CSU then executed a two-minute drill right before intermission, traveling 76 yards on five plays, with Brown targeting four different receivers before finding Kenny Dinkins just inside the goal line with 33 seconds remaining to put CSU ahead 42-0 at the break. Brown hit Alex Cruz for 35 yards down the right sideline and connected with Jared Scotland for 22 yards on back-to-back plays during the drive to set up the score.
The Buccaneers remain at home next weekend, hosting Newberry College on Saturday, September 6th. Kickoff at Buccaneer Field is set for 6 p.m.
"They've got unbelievable athletes, coaches who have done a good job there," said Chadwell of Newberry. "They are going to come in here and give us a challenge. They've had three or four weeks now to prepare for us. We'll be their Division I game for the season. They want to put themselves on the map, so they are going to come down here and play well. We are going to have to play well and be more focused than what we were tonight."

Penn State has landed one of the top high school football recruits in the class of 2014.
Thomas Holley, a defensive lineman from New York City rated as one of top 100 prospects in the country by all four major recruiting services, announced a commitment to Penn State on Tuesday morning. The 6-foot-4, 299-pounder also was considering Florida at the end and had made an official visit to Ohio State, as well.
Notre Dame, Alabama, Florida State, USC and Miami were among the other top programs that had offered Holley a scholarship. He had more than 20 scholarship offers and has been selected to play in the Under-Armour All-American Game in January.
Holley figures to play defensive tackle for the Nittany Lions, but internet sites reported that he also could see time at defensive end - attempts to reach Holley were unsuccessful by press deadline. Holley made 67 tackles this season for Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn as the Railsplitters went 13-0 and won the New York Public Schools Athletic League championship.
Holley had seven tackles in a 28-27 victory over Tottenville in the PSAL final.
"There's big-time recruits across the country that are his size and run well and that. But I think [college coaches see that this is a kid that has only played 21 football games in his life. You can see improvement in every game. He hasn't even scratched the surface of what he can be," Lincoln coach Shawn O'Connor said. "This year he was double- and triple-teamed, and he still was able to have a very successful year."
For the season, Holley also made seven sacks and had 24 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, along with a fumble recovery.
"For me, I like a school to have the total package," Holley told the New York Daily News in an article focusing on his college choice. "Do they have what I want to major in - for me that's business - how is the environment, because it's a place I'll have to live the next three or four years, and then the football program . . .does it have what I need to be successful?"
Nittany Lion defensive line coach Larry Johnson's track record of turning out NFL-caliber players got Holley's attention.
"I think he can do that for me," Holley told the New York Post. "I have an opportunity to make a difference. With Coach Johnson being my defensive coach, I think I can accomplish a lot."
Holley joins New Jersey's Antoine White and junior college transfer Tarow Barney as defensive tackles in this Penn State recruiting class. The Nittany Lions also have been involved with Virginia four-star prospect Derrick Nnadi.
The Nittany Lions graduate starters DaQuan Jones and Kyle Baublitz, so they needed to replenish the ranks on the interior of the defensive line. They won't have a senior defensive tackle who came to the college on scholarship next fall.
Holley's commitment gives Penn State 17 recruits in a class expected to eventually include 23 or 24 players. There have been conflicting reports that the Lions also might have gotten a commitment from Rahway, N.J. linebacker/running back Donte Raymond - Raymond, who had committed to Delaware, had denied those reports.
Penn State is in contention to receive another commitment today. Highly regarded junior college offensive lineman Kareem Are is to make an announcement and is looking at Florida State and Mississippi along with the Lions.

Ongoing gun violence generates fear, frustration
A bullet hole scars a window on the west side of Frank Soboleski's white and yellow-green, two-story house on East 24th Street.
The bullet, fired from a block away, went through the window and the drywall and across the living room before exiting his house and piercing the downspout of his neighbor's house, Soboleski explained in a tone alternating between disbelief and exasperation.
The shot was fired about two years ago.
It was nothing unusual, he said.
Since purchasing the house in the 500 block of East 24th Street, near Wallace Street, in 1972, Soboleski, 55, said the place has been struck by many bullets.
He stared at the second-floor front windows and pointed at each pane of glass that was shattered. He motioned to the west side of the house, which features new windows, and explained that some of those were shot out not long after he installed them a year ago.
Soboleski then gestured toward an occupied house on the next block. All of its front windows have been shot out in the past, he said.
Police were most recently called to Soboleski's block to investigate shots-fired reports on April 13 and 14.
"People walk around here like this, 'Boom! Boom!' People got nothing to do," Soboleski said.
Soboleski said he isn't scared.
"You can live here, like everywhere else. It's the same," he said.
But he admitted to being frustrated.
"Look around. Do you see anyone around? These people are afraid. They stay in their houses. They're afraid they're going to get shot," Soboleski said.
He then paused, and took another look around the deserted neighborhood.
"They're hiding from these bullets," he said.
Soboleski isn't the only one frustrated.
Erie Police Chief Randy Bowers said he senses that many in the city are fed up with a rash of shootings and other gun violence that has picked up since the start of the year.
Erie's 173 officers have responded to 77 shots-fired calls since Jan. 1, through Thursday, an 85 percent increase over the number of shots-fired calls officers responded to at this point in 2013.
Police responded to their 77th call on Thursday night, when someone reported hearing two gunshots fired in the 400 block of East 23rd Street -- about a block away from Soboleski's house -- shortly after 8 p.m.
Shootings that injured or killed someone in the city are also up this year, about 80 percent over the first four months of 2013. All of Erie's four homicide victims this year died of gunshot wounds. Four of the city's five homicide victims in 2013 were gunshot victims, according to the Erie County Coroner's Office.
"We need to work together to get it stopped," Bowers said.
Trying to 'step up'
Erie police and others have been trying to silence the shootings and other gun crimes. The bureau has targeted chronically violent offenders and pushed to get guns off the streets, seizing more than 100 weapons each in 2012 and 2013.
Police have recovered 31 handguns, two rifles and two shotguns so far this year, Bowers said.
Efforts by federal, county and local officials led to the development in 2011 of the Erie Unified Youth Violence Reduction Initiative, aimed at apprehending fugitives, targeting violent offenders, and driving community initiatives to combat violence and develop programs, mainly for youth.
Two steps to further the initiative were taken recently. Erie City Council signed off in February on a consulting contract with the Mercyhurst University Civic Institute to analyze violent crime data in the city to help police determine where and how resources should be used. Earlier this month, organizers of the anti-violence initiative launched the Neighborhood Resource Organization, a nonprofit designed to aid area neighborhood watch groups and similar organizations in developing programs and combating violence.
John Villa, coordinator of Snoops Neighborhood Watch Association, which covers a portion of the city between East 12th and East 15th streets from French to Wayne streets, said he thinks there is a lot of frustration in the community.
City police are doing what they can, but "they're like the little kid sticking his finger in the dike," he said.
"I think some neighborhood people get fed up and frustrated. On the other hand, I think we need to get some other neighborhood people to step up, notice what's going on in their neighborhoods and report it," Villa said. "That helps police, who can't be everywhere. That's why we have neighborhood watch groups, to help these guys out and be their eyes and ears."
One challenge for Erie police is having extra officers out at the right times to catch those firing guns. There has been a "randomness" to the recent shots-fired calls, with shootings reported on different days of the week and at different times, Bowers said.
"They don't fit with the typical busy nights of Friday and Saturday," he said. "Part of the challenge is the randomness of nights. We're going to make adjustments in that regard to have patrols out in force for quick response."
Another "mysterious" part to the recent shootings is that police aren't sure what the shooters are firing at, Bowers said. Investigators don't have information from anyone who believed they were being targeted, and no one has called the police to report being chased by someone shooting a gun, he said.
"We're not sure of the motive for the gunfire. That's part of our investigation," Bowers said.
Looking for community
Joe Holden, of Erie, was sitting inside the Mighty Fine Donuts on Parade Street on April 14 when an occupied minivan, sitting at the red light on East 26th Street, had a driver's side window shattered by a bullet. A 5-year-old boy was seated next to the window but was not injured.
Holden was back at the doughnut shop last week, chatting with friends about topics that included the recent gun violence.
"That kid could have gotten killed so easily," said Richard Smith, who sat next to Holden at a large table. "Kids think it's fun to shoot guns."
The group in Mighty Fine Donuts didn't say they were scared by the gun violence, but they expressed concern about the incidents, what was driving them and how to stop them.
"If you're old enough to pull the trigger, you should be old enough to be charged as an adult," Smith said.
What those committing crimes need, Mike Case added, is a sense of hope that they can accomplish something positive.
"If you want it to stop, you've got to have a sense of community, ... that life has meaning," Case said.
Paul Gambill wonders where the guns are coming from.
Gambill, a member of the Central City Neighborhood Alliance and community resource specialist for the U.S. probation office in Erie, said young people have told him that a lot of people in his neighborhood carry guns, "and that's pretty sad."
"You're tired of these young people walking around here carrying guns, resorting to settling conflicts by shooting each other," Gambill said. "It's sad, but most of it is black-on-black crime. It's very difficult for the authorities to prosecute people, because you have this wall of silence and no-snitch attitude. That empowers the cowards who want to continue to harm others."
Gambill said his eastside neighborhood has a small number of businesses, very little services and pockets of deep poverty, "and that's where you find most of the violence." He said he supports efforts by some community leaders to develop a summer jobs program for inner-city youth as a way to help curb the violence.
"We know economic opportunity is the key to success, and that's what these kids need," Gambill said.
Preaching hope
Members of the Bethel Apostolic Church are taking steps to find young people work. It's an effort born out of two recent meetings that church officials held with local teenagers, to gauge what adults can do to better help them, Pastor John Crosby said.
He said he thinks there is fear in the community over the recent gun violence, which included a shooting near Bethel Apostolic Church about an hour after it had hosted an Easter egg hunt on April 19. People are also troubled, Crosby said, and they want to know what can be done to alleviate the violence.
"I've really changed my preaching and teaching at church to try to address some of the issues," he said.
A few teenagers showed up for the church's first meeting. The second meeting, on Wednesday, drew 15, Crosby said.
"Our thought is, let's show them some caring, concern and love and see what that does. It's something we're trying right now that seems to be working out," he said.
Frank Soboleski said he doesn't think anyone is going to stop the shootings on his street or any other street in Erie. The police "just ride around," he said.
He said he thinks if a person has a gun and fires it within city limits, that person should get a life sentence in jail.
Then he shook his head.
"I'll probably die before anything happens," he said.

Tink Wallace fell from a utility poll when she was working for Santee Cooper 18 years ago and hasn't been able to walk since then.
She's not completely paralyzed - Wallace says she retained about 30 percent feeling in her legs - but the spinal cord injury was severe enough that's she bound to a manual wheelchair for mobility.
Until recently, that is. In January, the 48-year-old North Charleston resident was the first patient in South Carolina to use a ReWalk Exoskeleton at Roper Hospital. The $80,000 machine allows her to walk around the hospital floor and up and down steps using her own legs during twice-a-week physical therapy appointments.
"They call me Robo-Tink," she said. "I call it robot legs."
The machine is powered by a black backpack that Wallace wears as she walks. Two grey supports, which bend near the knee, run down the sides of her legs and her feet rest on top of metal plates. It takes about 20 minutes for a physical therapist to strap Wallace into the Exoskeleton before she's ready to move. It takes an hour for the therapist to readjust the machine for the next patient.
"It was really a good feeling to stand up and take steps like a normal person," Wallace said on Wednesday during an appointment at the hospital. She used the Exoskeleton for the first time in early January and has tried it about a dozen times since then.
"My neck is always like this, looking up," she said from her wheelchair.
But when she used the Exoskeleton for the first time, "I actually had to look down on a couple of people. It was pretty cool. It was really a unique experience to do it for the first time."
Katherine Bennett, a physical therapist at Roper Hospital who works with Wallace and two other patients who used the new Exoskeleton, said there are physical and psychological benefits associated with the therapy. Patients use muscles that they normally don't, especially in their trunk, she said.
"Just the psychological benefit of walking - we take it for granted," Bennett said. "To see people walk again and talk to them - it's just wonderful."
The technology is not brand-new, but it is new to South Carolina, said Dr. Jeff Tubbs, a physical therapy and rehabilitation physician at Roper St. Francis Healthcare. He said Roper Hospital is the first in the state to purchase a machine, which was paid for by a grant from the South Carolina Spinal Cord Injury Research Fund. The Exoskeleton is not approved by the FDA for home use. The hospital will primarily use the machine for research, he said.
"Regardless of everything else we'd like to accomplish, just the fact of being able to stand up and look somebody eye-to-eye is just psychologically pretty, you know, it's a big event, definitely," Tubbs said.
The hospital will demonstrate how the ReWalk Exoskeleton works for the general public at 10 a.m. Friday in the Irene Dixon Auditorium at Roper Hospital. The event is free.

Thanks Steph for your thought provoking post. I've linked you today and added some thoughts of my own. Be blessed today as you "slow down!"
Words fail me when I read a story like this.
I've always said that there isn't ANYWHERE or ANYTHING worth dying over. It can wait. If you miss it, so be it. You will get a chance to do something else. NOTHING is important enough to die over. Not a job. Not an outing. Not someone waiting for you. Such a tragedy... I feel for the whole community. Hope the children that survived recover physically, so that they can begin to recover emotionally. My heart to the father... and prayers for the mother that she can live with her horrible decision...ReplyDelete
Well put Steph, it was a horrible thing that happened to that family.ReplyDelete
what a tragedy. :( thanks for the important reminder.ReplyDelete
What a powerful post stph! Wow I can't imagine, what was she thinking or not thinking!ReplyDelete

Senior Monique Russell picked up 18 digs including her 500th of the season but Stetson fell 3-1 (25-15, 23-25, 25-13, 25-14) to visiting Lipscomb in the 2012 season finale Saturday afternoon at the Edmunds Center.
The Hatters finished the year with a record of 4-31 overall, 0-18 in the Atlantic Sun.
"Even though our record didn't necessarily show it, I liked the fact that we were competitive this year," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "We had some five-game losses, and some other really close sets where we might have lost 25-23, or 25-22. So the girls got some good experience playing at a pretty high level. We just have to find a way to play more consistent, and to execute under pressure in order to win the close sets like we did in set two today."
The Hatters played a challenging schedule and a long schedule – Stetson was the only team in Division I to play 35 regular season matches.
"Hopefully playing the tough schedule that we did and the number of matches that we played will give our younger players the experience needed so we come up on the winning end of those close matches," Loesch said.
Several Hatter freshmen played key roles during the season. Stetson averaged better than two freshmen in the starting line-up per match this season.
"The freshmen got a lot of experience, they kind of got thrown into the fire, but I think we saw some of them really mature this year," Loesch said. "I was very pleased with Kayla Weller, Cailyn Prewitt and Alexa Drost. They really stepped up and were dependable players for us as a freshman, and I often considered them upperclassmen. We had other freshmen contribute in spots, and some of our sophomore class stepped in and contributed as well. Morgan Pautch is kind of in-between as a redshirt freshman but she did some good things as well."
Stetson honored its four seniors, Madison Anderson, Kelli Carneal, Samantha Freeman, and Russell prior to their final match.
"All four all great young ladies, and I would say they are all overachievers," Loesch said. "I think that they are all talented players, but they kept working hard to get better, and they found ways to contribute and overcome injuries and illnesses to play. That's a tribute to their determination, and I think that is going to serve them well in life."
Despite the record, the Hatters managed to stay a tight-knit group throughout the season.
"Our junior class, Mel Melville and Ellen Hawks, who we are going to rely on a lot next year, were key components to that as captains," Loesch said. "We are definitely going to miss the seniors, but I am confident that those two will pick up the leadership and keep our team moving forward."
Russell finished the year with 509 digs to become the only Hatter in school history to record 500 digs in a single-season. She also leaves as Stetson's career digs leader (1448), and she did not miss a match in her four years, playing 117 contests in a row.
Carneal and Freeman also surpassed 100 matches played during their Hatter careers. Freeman compiled 235 blocks, the fourth highest total in school history since 2001. Carneal, meanwhile, dished out 2269 assists, marking the sixth highest total for a Hatter all-time, and the second-most since 2001.
Madison Anderson tallied 71 kills and 62 digs in her 68 matches played.
Other Season Notes: Kaley Melville became the first Hatter in 10 years to record over 300 kills and 300 digs in a single-season … Ellen Hawks set the single-season blocks record (rally scoring era) with 115 blocks … Cailyn Prewitt the recorded the third-highest kill total all-time for a Hatter freshman (248).

Is your child growing enough?
Most of the time when parents ask if their child is growing enough the answer is yes. Still, it's a question worth asking, experts told me. "We don't worry because a child is short," says Dr. Heidi Chamberlain Shea, a pediatric endocrinologist at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. "We worry because it can be a sign of a serious disease. A child can have brain tumors, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, Crohn's disease or hypothyroidism."
And sometimes, as in the case of Maggie Butterfield, 11 , of Plano, it's a case of growth hormone deficiency. With the help of growth hormone shots, administered six days a week, Maggie is catching up to her peers. You can read all about Maggie and the questions experts encourage parents to ask in my story here.

Cost-price squeeze getting tighter
Cost-price squeeze getting tighter
This Tuesday, USDA released its monthly Milk-Feed Price Ratio, which was 2.22 for November, down notably from October's 2.4o. The ratio was 2.26 last November. (The Milk-Feed Price Ratio reflects the pounds of a 16 percent-mixed dairy ration equal to the value of 1 pound of milk.) The drop in the ratio for November came as a result of a lower milk price and higher feed costs.
The All-Milk Price used for November was $17.90, which was down 60 cents from October. Feed costs used in the calculations were corn at $4.59 a bushel (up 27 cents from October), soybeans at $11.20 (up $1), and alfalfa at $117 a ton, down a tad from $118. The corn price at $4.59 was highest since September 2008, according to the CME Group's Daily Dairy Report. Authors of that report also calculate an "implied income over feed cost" using the milk price and feed costs. That value was $9.84 for November, down 95 cents from October.
The graph shows Milk-Feed Price Ratios for the past three years. At last month's 2.22, we still were higher than any month during 2009, except November. Unfortunately, it looks as if we can expect milk prices to continue to move lower in the months ahead, while feed prices stay strong or even move higher.


text: Competition law developments in East Asia Publication | March 2012 Introduction Information exchanges and cartel law in Asia MOFCOM conditionally approves proposed acquisition of Hitachi's hard disk drive business by Western Digital Table of contents of the full report Introduction This month's editors: Maxime Vanhollebeke, Julienne Chang, Zhao Jingjing, Christina Jeong and Lydia Fung.Below is an excerpt from our monthly Competition Report. More detailed commentary on these issues and other recent competition law developments in the Asian region is to be found in this month's edition of our report available on a free subscription basis (see further below). Information exchanges and cartel law in Asia Perhaps one of the most controversial aspects of EU competition law is the very broad interpretation of the notion of concerted practices to include exchanges of certain information among competitors. In certain circumstances, communication of strategic information among competitors will be considered as an agreement or a concerted practice that has the object of fixing prices or quantities. This even applies where the information is provided unprompted. According to the European Commission's Guidelines on horizontal cooperation agreements, "when one undertaking alone reveals to its competitors strategic information concerning its future commercial policy, that reduces strategic uncertainty as to the future operation of the market for all the competitors involved and increases the risk of limiting competition and of collusive behaviour." This explains why such types of information exchanges will normally be considered and fined as cartels under EU competition law.This very stringent interpretation has led to the application of many fines in Europe on Asian companies which had engaged in information sharing. Until recently, it was unclear whether competition authorities in East Asia would follow a similarly broad interpretation.In Singapore, the wording of the Competition Commission's Guidelines on the section 34 prohibition may have indicated that a more effects-based approach would be adopted. However the Competition Commission's decision fining employment agencies in September of last year very much reflected the broad interpretation under EU law. This month the Commission confirmed this stringent approach when it announced its intention to fine ferry operators for having exchanged sensitive and confidential price informationKorea's Fair Trade Commission seems to be willing to follow suit. In a decision adopted this month, it imposed significant fines on instant noodle producers for having exchanged information about future price increases. In China, there have to our knowledge not yet been any decisions on the point, but the National Development and Reform Commission's Regulation on Monopolistic Pricing Practices indicates that the exchange of information about pricing intentions may lead to the establishment of an illegal concerted practice in breach of the Antimonopoly Law.If this trend is confirmed, companies active in the region may have to reconsider their business practices as risks associated with information exchanges will no longer be a risk specific to the EU. MOFCOM conditionally approves proposed acquisition of Hitachi's hard disk drive business by Western Digital On 2 March, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) conditionally approved Western Digital's proposed acquisition of Viviti, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi that controls all of Hitachi's hard disk drive business.MOFCOM received Western Digital's initial notification on 2 April 2011 and initiated merger review on 10 May 2011. On 1 November 2011, Western Digital withdrew its notification on the ground of material changes of facts five days before the expiry of the extended review period; it submitted a fresh notification on 7 November 2011 which was accepted by MOFCOM for review on the same day. On 7 December 2011, the second notification entered into an in-depth review stage which was set to expire on 6 March 2012.Identifying the global hard disk drive market as the relevant market, MOFCOM reached the same conclusion as it did in its decision to impose conditions on Seagate's acquisition of Samsung's hard disk drive business last December. Namely, the transaction is likely to eliminate or restrict competition because the market is highly concentrated with only five suppliers that are subject to little competitive pressure from their customers and their competitors.In its analysis, MOFCOM took into account the fact that Western Digital had already committed to divest itself of Viviti's 3.5-inch hard disk drive business as part of the conditional clearance obtained from the European Commission when it reviewed the same transaction. MOFCOM however considered that this divestment was not enough to address all of the anticompetitive effects of the transaction, and went on to impose additional behavioural conditions. Most importantly, and in line with what MOFCOM had decided in the parallel Seagate/Samsung transaction, Western Digital is required to maintain Viviti's independence so that it remains a separate competitor in the market (this condition will apply for a period of at least two years, contrary to what was the case in the other transaction, where the minimum period of application is of one year). Western Digital and Viviti are also required not to force any exclusive arrangements upon their customers and to maintain their normal pace of innovation after the concentration.

Q: Will my financial aid cover the cost of books, tuition and fees, plus living expenses?
A: You will be awarded the amount of financial aid you qualify for based on need and availability of funds. If your award does not cover the 9 month cost of education, a grad plus may be required, which is credit based (up to the COE). Relying on financial aid without any personal resources will make your financial situation very difficult.
Q: What if I miss the April 1st priority date that financial aid has been emphasizing?
A: Missing the priority date of April 1st means you will not have first consideration for grants or Perkins loans. It also means you may not have your financial aid processed by the time tuition and fees are due. (see question above for details)
Q: What if my financial aid is not in when my tuition and fees are due?
A: If your financial aid has been processed, the aid will show up as "pending financial aid" and should be reflected on your fee bill as such. If you have not yet been awarded or you have not completed the financial aid process, you will need to make payment by check, credit card or take out the 90 day deferment emergency tuition loan through PeopleSoft under Student Financial to cover tuition and fees until your financial aid is processed.
Q: How does the university refund the remainder of any financial
aid after the tuition/fee bill is paid?
A: Refunds due to financial aid disbursements are sent to Higher One who will send the refund to you either by ACH to the bank of your choice or deposit the funds on your Higher One Card to be used as a debit card.
Q: What is the Higher One Card?
A: The Higher One Card will be mailed to accepted students to the address in PeopleSoft beginning mid August. Once you receive the card there will be instructions on how to activate the card and make a refund selection. Choices include direct deposit to a 3rd party bank (recommended) or instant refund to your Higher One Card (this allows you to use the Higher One Card like a debit card). The University of Houston has gone green and no longer mails paper checks.
Q: If I only qualify for a loan, why does it take so long to get the money?
A: The government has many regulations with which the financial aid office must comply. To ensure we are in compliance with each regulation, the process of approving a loan is broken down into stages performed by different departments. The money you borrow is government guaranteed and must go thorough the process which the University has established.
Q: Is there financial aid for foreign students?
A: To receive financial aid benefits you must be an eligible non-citizen or U.S. citizen. Some private loans may permit borrowing with a credit worthy U. S. citizen as a cosigner.
Q: Do I need to apply for financial aid once or do I reapply each year?
A: When you apply for financial aid, you are applying for funds during that academic year only (fall, spring, summer). If you wish to receive financial aid each year, you must file a renewal FAFSA each year after February1.
Q: Will my financial aid transfer with me to another school?
A: NO - Regulations will not allow aid to transfer from one institution to another. You will have to start the process over with the school you intend on transferring to. Each school will determine your eligibility.
Q: What is the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized Direct Loans?
A: Subsidized loans are based on financial need. This loan was discontinued to graduate and professional students beginning July 1, 2012 due to the Budget Control Act signed in August 2011.
A: Unsubsidized loans are a non-need based form of aid. The interest rate on this type of loan is set by the federal government. The borrower is responsible for all interest accrued on the loan. Interest payment can be made while in school or deferred until graduation or when the student drops below half time (6 hours). At the end of the 6 month grace period, the interest will capitalize and be added to the principal of the loan. Effective July 1, 2012 the federal Stafford loan will be Unsubsidized in the amount of $20,500 per academic year, but not to exceed COE, whichever is less, for professional students.

Well Color Effect on Signal Strength

Sealer Effect on Signal Strength
Optical flat cap strips:
Microseal® 'B' adhesive seals, optically clear:
Clear Chill-out™ liquid wax:
There are two common well heights for PCR tubes and plates:
Instruments with adjustable lids can usually use both high-profile and low-profile wells. These instruments include Bio-Rad's 1000-series and DNA Engine® series thermal cyclers.
Low-profile 0.2 ml thin-wall polypropylene PCR tube strips are recommended for reaction volumes of 5–125 µl (200 µl maximum). The lower overall height (15.48 mm) of low-profile 0.2 ml tube strips reduces the potential for condensate formation and offers advantages for fast PCR, low-volume reactions, and light capture in fluorescence assays such as real-time PCR. The low-profile V-well tubes can be supported in a 96-place PCR-tube rack and still provide the low clearance needed to fit in some microplate readers. Overall height, including flat optical caps and 96-place rack, is 18.3 mm. Low-profile 0.2 ml tubes can be centrifuged if supported in a 96-place rack, which is also useful for reaction setup and storage.
Low-profile tubes are available in strips of 8 and come in natural and opaque white (white tube strips are useful for optical assays in which increased signal is desired). The tube strips are without caps; use the strip cap tool for quick seating of cap strips on tubes.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - In another free Locals Showcase music extravaganza at the Crystal Bay Club, Tahoe funk/rock favorite Mama's Cookin' figures to kick off February in style Saturday night.
According to the band's website, Mama's Cookin' singer and guitarist Zebuel Early is an accomplished front man who is charismatic and articulate.
Hailing from the musical center of America's Southern Delta, Early came by his blues guitar work honestly. Songs of true beauty and deep intention, crafted with unique and timely lyrics, leave a lasting impression.
"Mama's Cookin' is positive roots rock at its finest. Taking a dose of down home Mississippi blues and throw it into a roots rock and roll stew and you have a little of what Mama's Cookin' is made of," reads one review at www.mamascookin.net.
The now-five-member band also features Steven LaBella on bass, Mike Adamo on drums and Todd Holway and Eric Matlock on keys.
Hailing from North Tahoe, Drop Theory's infectious, high-energy music fuses the classic solid gold sounds of past decades with a modern funky twist, according to the band's Facebook page.
With influences that range from hip hop, jazz and of course, funk, Drop Theory has played hundreds of shows around California/Nevada area and is showing no signs of slowing down.
According to the band's bio, since 2008 Drop Theory has played a dynamic mix of carefully selected covers (ranging from afro-beat and 90s acid jazz to straight up funk and soul) and originals.
The band features J Pinard, sax and vocals; Alex Dobbs, drums; Peter Kowalczyk, guitar; Mike Zucker, guitar; and Isaac Freed, bass.

|Taiwanese Hot Pot
This will be the second of my two part picture series of what I ate in Taiwan on my past trip back.
|Tasty Sukiyaki From Momo Paradise
One of my friends took me out for some Taiwanese cuisine at Aoba.
|Tasty Hibiscus Drink @ Aoba
|Everybody's Favorite: Pork Belly
|Mentaiko Fried Rice
|Fried Squid Balls
|Vegetarian Buffet @ Spring Day
I did dine at one of my mom's favorite stops: Spring Day. I don't think vegetarian buffet is really my cup of tea....
|Fresh Squid and Fish Ball Paste
|One Can't Have Too Much Ma-La Hot Pot, Right?
|Neighborhood Taiwanese Breakfast Stand
Although I love my fan-tuan and soymilk, this was my idea of a Taiwanese breakfast. During my two week stay, I stopped by about 5 times. Even in the hot and humid weather, I loved sweating through a steaming bowl of rice noodle soup and accompaniments.
|Rice Noodle Soup
|Fried Tofu
|Various Cuts of Meat
|Offal Plate
|Tofu and Seaweed
|Pork Skin
|Taiwanese Oden
|Oyster Vermicelli
|Ba Wan (Taiwanese Meatball)
|I love Vitali!
|More Taiwanese Oden
|More Road Side Eats
|Oyster Vermicelli
|Stinky Tofu
|Stewed Pork Rice
|O Ah Jian (Oyster Pancake)
And I'll save the best for last. Dessert!
|Mango Shaved Snow
After having this shaved snow, I thought the ones served at Class 302 in Rowland Heights were quite similar.
|Almond Tofu Shaved Snow @ Yu's Almond Tofu
Thanks to a recommendation from Joan, I visited Yu's Almond Tofu for some almond tofu shaved snow. I absolutely loved it. The flavor of the almond was subtle yet remained quite fragrant. On a warm day in Taipei, this absolutely hit the spot.
|Tsai's Mi Tai Mu Ice
This was something I've never had before. My friends took me to Tsai's, which was located near their home in Linkou County, outside Taipei. Basically, it's Taiwanese shaved ice, but the key ingredient was the (米苔目) or this rice noodle. Strange? Yes it was, but it added a nice texture to the shaved ice. There's a reason why this place has been around for many years in the area. It's always packed!
|Mi Tai Mu Bing
|Pineapple Ice @ Cheng Du Ice Shop in Ximending
I went back to Cheng Du Ice Shop for some pineapple ice this time around.
I'll close out my Taiwan picture post with one of my favorite things to eat!
|Mister Donut
For those that know me, I absolutely hate fried dough. I can't get the oily texture out of my head I guess. But...the two exceptions are Donut Plant in New York City and Mister Donut in Asia. I almost always get their green tea donuts. Dericious! :)
That's all folk, starting tomorrow, more posts in the good ol' U S of A!

Girl Scouts aren't what they used to be. They may have magenta stripes in their hair. They might even be changing the world.
Greensboro -- School is back in session and many kids have had to give up their care-free summers. While some kids were hanging out at the pool, at least one was hanging out at a homeless shelter.
Cameron McClellan, a high school junior, is an artist at heart. She even attends a school which lets her focus on playing the piano. According to her, "art is her world."
When it came time to choose a Gold Award project for Girl Scouts, she decided to combine art with her other passion... the homeless. No, she's not your typical teenager.
She has been taking art supplies to the Interactive Resource Center twice a week the whole summer. She has created quite a following. According to her mother, the clients at the center tend to have the tables set up and they are waiting for her when she gets there. While the people there enjoy art as an emotional outlet, they enjoy McClellan's company even more. She says the relationships are even more important than the art she loves so much.
Girl Scouting has made a huge impact on McClellan's life. The girls do much more than sell cookies and go camping. They are really making a difference in the world around them. If you would like to give Girl Scouting another try, check out their website. No uniform required!

Your eye has two parts that focus images, the cornea and the lens. In a perfectly shaped eye, each of these focusing elements has a perfectly smooth curvature, like the surface of a smooth ball.
A cornea or lens with such a surface curvature bends (refracts) all incoming light the same way and makes a sharply focused image on the back of your eye (retina).
However, if your cornea or lens isn't evenly and smoothly curved, then it causes light rays to be unevenly focused. This causes a refractive error. Astigmatism is a type of refractive error.
In astigmatism, your cornea or lens is curved more steeply in one direction than in another. You have corneal astigmatism if your cornea has a distorted shape. You have lenticular astigmatism if your lens is distorted.
Either type of astigmatism can cause blurred vision. Blurred vision may occur more in one direction, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
Astigmatism may occur in combination with other refractive errors, which include:
Astigmatism may be present from birth, or it may develop after an eye injury, disease or surgery. Astigmatism isn't caused or made worse by reading in poor light, sitting too close to the television or squinting.

on December 4, 2012 - 12:22 AM
, updated December 4, 2012 at 12:30 AM
Margaret Rogers was a slight figure standing in the middle of Williamsville's Main Street in her hand-knit scarf and pink mittens. Four lanes of traffic zoomed behind and before her. Standing in the center turning lane with two bags of hotdogs, cookies and other groceries, she gingerly made her way across to the Village Square Apartments.
"I used to have a car, but I'll be 90 years old in March, and I didn't think it was safe to drive anymore," she said.
It's questionable whether she's truly safer walking.
That's why the village is pushing a new initiative called Picture Main Street that officials hope will significantly improve the pedestrian experience at a relatively modest cost.
Among the proposed changes:
• "Bulb out" protruding curb extensions at intersections.
• A new pedestrian island.
• A designated, mid-block pedestrian traffic signal in the village center.
• Plans for more trees and benches.
• Improved parking behind buildings.
• More welcoming landmark entrances into the village on the east and west ends of Main.
There also are related plans to transform a glorified driveway between the Williamsville Library and Village Hall into a grassy pocket park and remake Spring Street and the property around the historic Williamsville Water Mill into a true village square.
Main Street is a major east-west artery for Amherst. It sees competing traffic from people trying to get to and from office parks, schools and homes. Many drivers use Main Street as a non-toll Thruway bypass between the mainline Thruway and Transit Road. Tractor-trailers and oversized vehicles occasionally rumble by Williamsville's boutique shops and salons.
On Oct. 1, a tractor-trailer rolling down Main Street clipped a town platform lift truck, sending two town workers to the hospital with multiple fractures.
Past village leaders have made repeated attempts to calm traffic and make Main Street more pedestrian-friendly since the road was widened in the 1990s, but to little avail.
Mayor Brian Kulpa said he knows there's no way to "unwiden" Main Street, but there are ways to make it more physically attractive to walkers and to make the road-crossing experience a little less death-defying.
"The countdown is funny," said Kulpa, quickly crossing Main as the walk-don't walk pedestrian signal counted down 20 seconds. "If you see someone with a stroller, it's almost like a dare: Are they going to make it?"
Williamsville would be easier to compare to other charming comercial districts that dot the region if it weren't for the fact that it looks like a five-lane highway is running down the middle of it. Route 5 runs through both the village and the town and carries from 35,000 to nearly 50,000 vehicles a day.
The changes proposed in Picture Main Street would be good news for Rogers, who walks from her senior apartment building to shop and eat several times a week. She said she's regularly scolded for her midblock street crossings, but she counts on her sense of timing and her willingness to "live dangerously."
"God is with me," she said.
Village resident Amy Colvin, who walks bulldogs Lily and Lola down the street nearly every day, expressed similar thoughts.
"The only thing I hate is that it's just so busy," she said.
The Picture Main Street effort has been in the works since the village's community plan was adopted in 2010, Kulpa said. Committees and subcommittees have been meeting monthly to move different aspects of the project along, with some folks focusing on what village residents want and need, and some focusing on how the village is going to find ways to pay for it.
If all goes as hoped, Kulpa said, the plan will be finalized next month and will receive Village Board approval in January.
Committee member Maria McPeak, manager of the Irishman Pub and Eatery between Cayuga and Mill streets, said people who sit on her restaurant patio occasionally get prime seats for viewing accidents and near-accidents with both cars and walkers.
This year's Halloween costume parade in Williamsville was even delayed 20 minutes because it took that long for families to get from one side of the street to the other.
"Which is ridiculous," she said.
Seven lanes of cars separate pedestrians from one sidewalk and the next – four lanes of moving traffic, one center turning lane and two parking lanes that are regularly and illegally used by drivers as right-turn lanes.
Rounded curb extensions, which would extend into the shoulder parking lanes and reduce the pedestrian walking path curb-to-curb by about 10 feet, are one way to make crossing safer and easier, Kulpa said. The village also would like to narrow the existing lanes so drivers feel less free to travel down Main at near-highway speeds during nonpeak hours.
Curb extensions and lane narrowing won't ease existing congestion on Main Street. Just the opposite, and that's likely to create headaches for commuters who already find driving on Main Street difficult.
But if reducing traffic flow by 5 percent or so makes it easier for people to live, shop, work and eat in the village, Kulpa said, that's a reasonable trade-off.
Curb extensions, the most expensive aspect of the Picture Main Street project, would cost about $3 million and require some kind of state or federal matching grant.
The village also would hope for state assistance in installing a pedestrian-activated traffic signal and crosswalk. The device would be the first of its kind to be installed in the state, Kulpa said.
The signal would be placed on the roadway in front of the Williamsville Library and be accompanied by a dedicated pedestrian "refuge" island where the center turn lane exists now. The state Department of Transportation offered to conduct a study on placement of this type of signal, and Kulpa said he hopes to have the signal installed by the end of next year.
Though Kulpa expects it to take much of next year to line up the funding required to get Picture Main Street fully implemented, he and others pointed out that the village already has successfully undertaken some work on its own.
The village spent about $10,000 and added 56 sidewalk trees through the Main Street core in September. More will be planted with the help of a state grant in the spring.
New design standards to preserve village character and encourage mixed use and pedestrian access on Main Street were also adopted by the board in October.
"We're not just going to stand by and see this traffic short-circuit our pedestrian traffic," he said, "and short-circuit our businesses."

Like most of those in Argentina, he is a soccer fan, his favorite team being the underdog San Lorenzo squad. Known for his outreach to the country's poor, he gave up a palace for a small apartment, rode public transportation instead of a chauffeur-driven car and cooked his own meals.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 76, who was chosen as the new pope on Wednesday by a gathering of Catholic cardinals, is a history-making pontiff, the first from the Jesuit order and the first non-European to fill the job in more than 1,200 years.
But he is also a conventional choice, a theological conservative of Italian ancestry who vigorously backs Vatican positions on abortion, gay marriage, the ordination of women and other leading issues of the day.
He was less energetic, however, in urging the Argentine church to examine its own behavior during the 1970s, when the country was consumed by a conflict between right and left that became known as the Dirty War, during which as many as 30,000 people were disappeared, tortured or killed by a military dictatorship that seized power in March 1976.
Despite his aversion to liberation theology, which he views as hopelessly tainted with Marxist ideology, Bergoglio has emphasized social outreach to the poor, and as cardinal of Buenos Aires has overseen increased social services and evangelization efforts in the slums that ring Argentina's capital.
"I am encouraged by this choice, viewing it as a pledge for a church of simplicity and of ecological ideals," said Leonardo Boff, a prominent founder of liberation theology from Brazil. What is more, Boff said in a telephone interview, Bergoglio comes from the developing world, "outside the walls of Rome."
Jorge Mario Bergoglio was born in Buenos Aires on Dec. 17, 1936, to Mario Bergoglio, an immigrant from northern Italy, and Regina Bergoglio, a housewife. He came relatively late to the priesthood, enrolling in a seminary only at the age of 21, after earning a degree in chemistry.
By all accounts, he was a brilliant student who relished the study not just of theology but also of secular subjects such as psychology and literature. He was ordained a priest a few days short of turning 33, and from that point on, his ascent within the church was rapid: By 1973, he had been named the Jesuit provincial for Argentina, the church official in charge of supervising the order's activities in the country.
He remained in that post through 1979, and his performance during the Dirty War has been the subject of considerable controversy in Argentina. In 2005, shortly before the Vatican conclave that elevated Joseph Ratzinger to the papacy, Bergoglio, considered a potential candidate, was formally accused by an Argentine lawyer in a lawsuit of being complicit in the military's kidnapping of two Jesuit priests whose antigovernment views he considered dangerously unorthodox.
The priests, who he had dismissed from the order a week before they disappeared, were discovered weeks later on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, drugged and partially undressed. At the time the lawsuit was filed, the cardinal's spokesman dismissed the accusations as "old slander" in statements to news organizations.
The lawsuit was eventually dismissed, but the debate about the case has continued, with Argentine journalists publishing newspaper articles and books that appear to contradict Bergoglio's account of his actions. These accounts draw not only on documents from the period, of both the government and the church, but also statements by priests and lay workers who clashed with Bergoglio in the 1970s.
After the church had denied for years any involvement with the dictatorship, he testified in 2010 that he had met secretly with Gen. Jorge Videla, the former head of the military junta, and Adm. Emilio Massera, the commander of the navy, to ask for the release of the priests. The following year, prosecutors called him to the witness stand to testify on the military junta's systematic kidnapping of children, a subject he was also accused of knowing about but failing to prevent.
In a long interview with an Argentine newspaper in 2010, he defended his behavior during the dictatorship. He said that he had helped hide people being sought for arrest or disappearance by the military because of their political views, had helped others leave Argentina and had lobbied the country's military rulers directly for the release and protection of others.
Faithful hold up a sign Wednesday with the writing in Italian reading "Hail to the Pope" after the election of Pope Francis, the 266th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican.×
