Installing Metal Shingles, continued
Vent stacks. I use oversized 18-inch aluminum vent flashings because the extra material provides more overlap and makes it easier to provide a waterproof installation. The first step is to form a right-angle bend at each side of the flashing to act as a barrier to wind-driven rain. If the lower edge of the vent flashing extends beyond the locking flange of the course of shingles below, we notch the corners of the flashing and form a back bend that hooks over the lower course of shingles.
If flashing isn't long enough to permit that, we bend a piece of coil stock to engage the lock, coat it with sealant, and press the flashing down over it. We then install an additional 4-foot-wide strip of underlayment on top of the flashing to act as a supplementary weather barrier. Finally, we cut the shingle or shingles around the vent stack with aviation snips and fasten them in place.
The edges of vent-stack flashings are turned up with a hand seamer to channel any wind-driven rain that gets past the surrounding shingles back to the outside.
Sometimes the vent flashing is not long enough to wrap around the bottom edge of the shingles below the stack. In that case, to effectively bond the lower edge of the vent flashing to the shingles, a site-bent piece of coil stock is hooked over the top flange of the full course below.
This is coated with sealant, and the flashing is pressed into place.
An additional sheet of underlayment adds protection. Finally, the vent flashing is covered by a notched shingle.
Our preferred sealant for this and all other flashing applications is a UV-protected terpolymer product called Solar Seal, from NPC Colored Sealants (708/681-1040, www.npcsealants.com). Once the vent flashing is in place, I like to prevent leaks between the neoprene sleeve and the pipe by inserting the nozzle of the caulking cartridge between them and squeezing out a bead of sealant all the way around.
Valley flashing. Like gable-edge trim, starter strips, and other special purpose flashings, Classic's valley flashing is fastened to the deck with clips. The central, open portion of the valley is defined by two parallel ridges or channels, depending on the style of shingle. Each border shingle is cut at the correct angle; the cut edge is bent down to create a shallow flange that laps over the ridge or engages the channel on that side of the valley.
Shingles that adjoin a valley are cut with tin snips.
A flange is formed with a hand seamer or portable 2-foot brake.
The valley flashing, like the shingles themselves, is fastened to the deck with metal clips.
Sidewall flashing. Most sidewall applications use a preformed flashing that has a vertical leg and a horizontal channel sized to accept the edges of the shingles. In reroofing applications, the lower courses of wood, vinyl, or fiber-cement siding are removed to allow the vertical leg to lie flat against the sheathing before the siding is replaced. (Ideally, the sheathing will be covered with felt or housewrap that can be lapped over the flashing. If there are signs of moisture between sheathing and siding, it may be necessary to remove the existing siding, nail up correctly lapped felt or housewrap to direct water past the flashing, and re-side.)
Like other special purpose flashings, sidewall flashing is fastened to the deck with clips; the vertical leg extends behind the siding and felt or housewrap.
In reroofing applications, wood or vinyl siding is removed to install the flashing and replaced afterward.
With three-coat stucco, the flashing channel, minus the vertical leg, is tucked into a slot cut in the stucco.
Traditional three-coat stucco calls for a different approach. We usually clip the vertical leg from the sidewall flashing and cut a slot in the stucco just wide enough to accept the remaining aluminum channel. We then apply a heavy bead of Solar Seal to the back of the cut-down flashing, push it into the slot, and fasten it to the deck with nailing clips.
With brick siding, we use a masonry blade to cut a 1/2-inch groove in the brick along a line 5 inches above the roof deck. We form a right-angle bend in the flashing, tuck it into this slot, and caulk with Solar Seal. When doing this, we run underlayment up the wall as far as the cut line to prevent the aluminum flashing from touching the masonry.

With the City Council last month approving plans for a York Boulevard parklet, Council District 14 and Living Streets LA are planning to celebrate the city's support on Saturday, Sept. 29 with a community gathering at the project's proposed location.
Community members are invited to attend the celebration of the on Saturday, Sept. 29 from 9-10 a.m. at 5040 York Blvd. in front of Do it Best Hardware.
In addition to serving light refreshments, attendees will also be able to get their hands on final copies of the street porch plan.
Though the city council voted last month to direct the Planning, Transportation and Public Works Departments to support the construction of the parklet, Living Streets LA--the design firm hired by Councilman José Huizar to help facilitate the "new York" Vision Plan--said that there are still some finals tweaks to be made in design to ensure safety and portability.
From Living Streets:
The refinements include: designing a modular wooden deck so that the project could be moved for utility and road work; replacing the concrete bench seats with wooden seats, so they would not be too heavy to move; and adding mosaic tile to the bench backs and the sitting rounds, so we can maintain the artful character of the project.
The parklet will be constructed in an area currently designated as a no park zone on York Boulevard, next to a crosswalk. Proponents hope it will create a community gathering space and promote shopping at nearby local businesses.

Children's Family Trust opens office in Basingstoke
2:00pm Monday 15th October 2012 in News By Helen Morton, Senior Reporter
Buy this photo Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane Cllr Martin Biermann opens the Children's Family Trust office at Worting House, Basingstoke
A CHARITY which finds foster homes for vulnerable children has opened its first office in the south of England in Basingstoke.
Basingstoke and Deane Borough Mayor Councillor Martin Biermann officially opened the Children's Family Trust (CFT) office at Worting House, Church Lane, last Tuesday.
Jon Dudley, development manager for the trust, said: "It is a very exciting time for us.
"We have been very active in the north-east and in the midlands, and there is a high level of need down here in the south central region.
"We would like to recruit about 20 to 25 carers in this area, but we are looking for special people who have got particular skills."
Karen Blackman, supervising social worker for the trust in the south central region, said: "Foster care can make a real difference to troubled young people and give them a sound pathway to adulthood.
"There are hundreds of children in the area already benefiting from the loving care that a good foster home can offer."
Cllr Biermann cut the ribbon at the grand opening, attended by the chief executive of CFT Tom Gormley and many of the charity's trustees.
The trust aims to provide a 'family for life' for children and young people, and also works to make sure that siblings can stay together in a foster family.
Mr Dudley said: "As a charity, we don't have to make a profit, and any money we make can be put back into benefiting the children."
The trust will soon be holding a series of informal open evenings and open days for people who might be interested to go along and find out what fostering entails.
To find out more about fostering and the open days, call 01256 345635 or visit thecft.org.uk.

Banuelos strong in return from DLBy
Got some more minor league notes than usual, so let's break out the bullet points…
- Remember Juan Carlos Paniagua? The Yankees signed him for $1.1M last year but the deal was later voided due to falsified documents. The 22-year-old will be eligible to sign again this July, and Conor Glassey got a fresh look at his live arm yesterday. Paniagua will be subject to the new spending restrictions and it'll be interesting to see if the Yanks pursue a new deal.
- Local columnist Gene Sapakoff says the current Low-A Charleston team is the best in franchise history. The River Dogs came into today leading their division with a 16-7 record.
- D.J. Mitchell's two-hit gem last month was the second best pitching performance in all of Triple-A during April. By Game Score (84), it was the sixth best performance in all of minor league baseball during the season's first month.
- Pat Venditte was placed on the DL with right arm soreness, which explains why he had been pitching exclusively left-handed of late. Triple-A Empire State also activated two players following last night's game: OF Cole Garner (DL) and RHP Cody Eppley (demotion).
And now to the games…
Triple-A Empire State (2-1 win over Rochester)
LF Kevin Russo, CF Dewayne Wise & DH Jack Cust: all 0-4 — Wise and Cust each struck out twice

RHP Jason Bulger: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 4/2 GB/FB — 26 of 39 pitches were strikes (66.7%)
RHP Cody Eppley: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 20 of 38 pitches were strikes (52.6%)

RHP Craig Heyer: 6 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 8/1 GB/FB — 58 of 88 pitches were strikes (28.4%) … hooray for strikeouts and grounders

RHP Preston Claiborne: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K — 20 of 33 pitches were strikes (60.6%)
RHP Ryan Flannery: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1/0 GB/FB – 12 of 21 pitches were strikes (57.1%)
High-A Tampa (3-2 win over Brevard County in 11 innings, walk-off style)
CF Eduardo Sosa: 3-6, 1 R, 1 K, 1 SB
2B Kelvin Castro: 2-5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 CS, 2 E (interference, fielding)

DH Tyson Blaser: 1-3, 2 BB, 1 K
C Hector Rabago: 0-3, 2 BB, 1 K
3B Garrison Lassiter & SS Jose Mojica: both 1-5, 2 K, 1 E — Lassiter's error was a fielding error … Mojica stole a base, scored a run, and threw a ball away
LHP Nik Turley: 5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 8/2 GB/FB — 35 K in 36.1 IP
LHP Kramer Sneed: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1/1 GB/FB
RHP Manny Barreda: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 4/2 GB/FB
LHP Rigoberto Arrebato: 2 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 3/2 GB/FB — picked a runner off first

2B Angelo Gumbs & SS Anderson Feliz: both 1-3, 1 2B, 1 BB – Gumbs stole a base and scored a run … Feliz struck out
3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 0-3, 1 BB — boy those few days on the shelf really took the wind out of his sails
RF Tyler Austin: 1-2, 2 R, 1 2B, 2 BB — 11 for his last 38 (.289) with three doubles and six homers
C Gary Sanchez: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 K — 12 for his last 38 (.316) with seven doubles
1BRey Nunez & DH Casey Stevenson: both 1-4, 1 K
CF Ben Gamel: 0-2, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 SB — no Mason Williams today, he's a little banged up after making a diving catch three days ago
LF Kelvin DeLeon: 1-3, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 1 E (fielding) — doubled in the two go-ahead runs in the bottom of the eighth
RHP Scottie Allen: 5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 5 BB, 4 K, 6/2 GB/FB — 49 of 88 pitches were strikes (55.7%)

You have to call up Wise now. No excuse.
Laird makes much more sense with Chavez down. He can play all 4 corners AND has options.
No way Brian, Wise struck out twice today.
Please call up Adam Warren, Cashmoney.
Bread & Water back on the table.
Good one. +1
I feel like everyone is getting injured. Sportsprobz.
Yay for ManBan!
Yay for Turley!
I don't think he's had a bad outing this year, has he? And to think he was taken in the final round [50th] of the draft! Some 1,500 players were taken before him. Incredible so far!
What happened to the sky falling with Manny?
It's a relief to see a good stat line from Banuelos. It's been a while. Hopefully he can pitch well the rest of the way.
Agreed. I like the zero in the BB column.
3 and 2/3 innings is encouraging . Let´s wait until he´s pitching 6-7 innings on average with good control over 120-130 innings and with a relatively low ERA . To much to ask ?
With Chavez injured a call up is happening tomorrow. I feel the candidates ar: Laird,Pena,Russo,Nix. Laird and Pena have the obvious advantage of being on the 40 but have had pretty cold starts to the season. Nix just came off the DL and hasn't hit much. Russo has had a very nice start to the season .296Avg,.370OBP has more walks then K's and played 2B,3B,LF,RF but is not on the 40. Laird plays 3B/1B and some OF(not to the ability of Russo). It will be interesting who they call up. They have 3 guys they could put on the 60day DL to clear a spot. IMO Laird and Russo should come up this bench is paper thin.
I'm curious to see how they approach Paniagua.
This is exciting stuff. I'm anxious to see what his new name might be. He tried Juan Carlos Collado, but that didn't work. Then he tried Juan Carlos Paniagua but was suspended for a second time. They say that the third time's the charm. I can't wait 'til July 19th for the suspense to end. Any guesses out there?
Happy to know ManBan is back pitching and doing it well.
With the Pineda news and the recent Yankee offensive woes, some good news was needed.
Glad to see Manny get back on the right track. Hopefully he'll keep it up the next time around.
Have a day Ramon. Have a day.
boy those few days on the shelf really took the wind out of his sails
Hopefully he's not playing through something
LHP Rigoberto Arrebato: 2 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 3/2 GB/FB — picked a runner off first
Domo Arrebato, Mr. Rigoberto
The Charleston article is a quick fun read. I wonder how many of them get promoted together?
The weird thing about Austin is that he appears to have solid size and athleticism. I'd imagine a kid who had it in him to hit like he's been hitting and could move around a bit would have had more "projectability" hype. I know that he's gone above and beyond, but it doesn't sound like he's doing that much more than what his natural skillset would allow.
This isn't some small guy jacking XBH's (Pedroia) or some rotund guys showing speed and agility (Pedroia). He's a 6'2″ 200 lb. guy with an athletic build. If he keeps producing like this, people have to start looking at his size, athleticism, and production and see a big time prospect, no?
Sorry, the second (Pedroia) was meant to be (Kirby Puckett)
Wetherell is quietly having a nice start to the year for Charleston.
Wow – and Venditte was still getting really good results throwing multiple innings left-handed against opposite-side batters while his other arm hurt.
Venditte to the rotation?

Have you ever been diagnosed with asthma or do you experience asthma symptoms?
If so, you may be at risk for serious respiratory complications during the flu season. Fortunately, preventive measures can be taken to minimize the risk of contracting influenza and experiencing flu related asthma flare-ups.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes swelling, constriction and increased mucus production in the airways. It can make breathing very difficult.
Triggers, such as influenza or other viral illnesses, increase inflammation and cause the airways to narrow even more. Breathing becomes even harder and medications designed to relax and open the airways are not as effective.
Oftentimes, this leads to acute respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia. Asthma is the most common health condition among children and adults hospitalized with the flu, according to www.flu.gov.
Flu season typically begins in January or February, but it can start as early as October and last through May. Taking measures to avoid the virus is particularly crucial for those who have asthma or other respiratory illnesses. Getting an annual flu vaccine is the best defense.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends the vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older for whom there are no contraindications. According to the CDC, each year the vaccine is designed to protect against the three main virus strains expected to cause the most illness during the flu season.
The vaccine will be effective against those viruses during the entire flu season. It is typically offered at doctors offices and pharmacies. Some schools and places of employment may offer the vaccine, as well.
If you have asthma, be sure to get the flu shot, not the nasal spray. The nasal spray is unsafe for people with asthma.

Kokomo Tribune
---- — When Eastern put out notice that it needed a new girls basketball coach, the school found the right candidate in its own backyard.
Lapel boys basketball assistant Justin Coomer stood out among the applicants, and was already familiar with the team. He's lived in Greentown since 2010, having moved there with his wife, who is a Greentown native.
"Greentown is a great small-town community kind of like where I'm from," said Coomer. "[Eastern has] really nice kids and me living in the area I thought it'd be a good chance for me to be a head coach.
"I feel like I've paid my dues and my time being under a future Hall of Fame coach like coach [Jimmy] Howell. I felt like I'd learned quite a bit and maybe it'd be a good time to try it on my own."
Eastern athletic director Brad Wilson agreed. Coomer, a 2001 Lapel graduate, has been an assistant with the Bulldogs for 11 seasons, the last nine under Howell. Coomer was on Howell's staff for the 2004-05 Bulldog squad that won the Class 2 state title. Wilson said Coomer's experience stood out.
"He's been around basketball for the last nine years under one of the state's best basketball coaches," Wilson said. "I think Jimmy Howell is as knowledgeable in the game of basketball as anybody I've ever been around. To be under him for nine years, you've got to know something about basketball to stay with Jimmy.
"I think we were very fortunate to have somebody with his knowledge of the game. We didn't have that many people apply. I thought we'd have more people apply than we did. Of all the candidates that we interviewed, he was far and away above the people we talked to. Finding coaches is getting harder, and I feel like we got very lucky. We got a very good one."
It was a bonus that Coomer lived in the district and had already watched a lot of the Eastern squad's games, including the Comets' run to the Class 2A state final game.
"I was familiar with quite a few of the players," Coomer said. "Even coaching at Lapel, I'd assume that me and my wife went to at least half the Eastern games last year, and obviously through the tournament, so I was pretty familiar. I saw every game of the tournament."
Coomer has a style of play in mind though he doesn't know that he can implement it immediately.
"I'd like to play a more uptempo style, pressure-style of defense," Coomer said. "I'm not sure that we'll be able to do that from the start, but that's my goal. Half the kids we have are freshmen, so they're still learning what they need to be doing."
The new coach is grateful to Wilson, superintendent Tracy Caddell and principal Keith Richie for the chance to be a head coach. This was the first year he'd looked for an opening.
"[I'm] extremely excited," he said. "I'd like to thank Dr. Caddell and Mr. Wilson, Dr. Richie for giving me the chance to have a head coaching job in Indiana. I feel blessed to have one and feel really excited to get going."
Coomer replaces Jeremy Dexter, who went 75-35 in five seasons leading Eastern's girls program. The Comets went 22-4 in the 2012-13 campaign, falling 62-42 to Evansville Mater Dei in the IHSAA Class 2A championship game. Dexter announced following the school year that he had accepted the athletic director's position at Churubusco High School.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence poses for photographers at the 66th international film festival, in Cannes, southern France, Saturday, May 18, 2013.
Jennifer Lawrence says growing up in Kentucky she always knew she would be famous.
The best-actress Oscar winner for "Silver Linings Playbook" tells the September issue of Vogue magazine that she used to "lie in bed and wonder" about what would make her well-known.
She says, "It wasn't a vision. But as it's kind of happening, you have this buried understanding: of course."
The 22-year-old also says her childhood was "unhappy" because she was "anxious" and her parents sent her to a therapist.
It was when she was cast in 2007 in the TV series "The Bill Engvall Show" that her mother realized she no longer needed counseling because when she was acting, it made her happy.
Vogue's September issue goes on sale Aug. 20.

This cast-on method is worked with a crochet hook and can be
used in one of two ways: as a decorative cast-on that forms a tidy chain and
perfectly matches the bind-off row, or as a provisional cast-on. If the
decorative cast-on is desired, use the working yarn for the crochet chain. For
a provisional cast-on, use waste yarn for the chain and then knit a plain row
with the working yarn (the provisional cast-on is not complete until there is a
row of working yarn stitches on the needle).
Place a slipknot on crochet hook. Hold knitting needle and
yarn in your left hand and hook in your right hand, with yarn under needle.
Place hook over needle, wrap yarn around hook and pull loop through loop on
hook (Figure 1). *Bring yarn to back under needle, wrap yarn around hook, and
pull it through loop on hook (Figure 2). Repeat from *until there is one fewer
than the desired number of stitches on needle. Slip loop from hook to needle
for last stitch.

South Boston Speedway unveils schedule for '12
- Last Updated on 12:22 PM 04/23/12
- BY Joe Chandler
South Boston Speedway officials unveiled the track's 2012 season schedule Saturday, a schedule that contains a full compliment of races for the track's three divisions within 16 dates. The track will host six special events next season, starting with the track's annual NASCAR Whelen Late Model 300 Presented By Danville Toyota on Saturday, March 10.
That event has been the track's season finale for several seasons. Track officials announced a couple of weeks ago that the event would be moved to the start of the season to avoid a conflict with Martinsville Speedway's big NASCAR Late Model Stock Car race which will be held next season on the October weekend on which the South Boston event has traditionally been staged.
South Boston Speedway will host its annual pre-Fourth of July 200-lap NASCAR Late Model Stock Car race on Tuesday night, July 3, with a 100-lap Limited Sportsman Division race, a 50-lap Pure Stock Division race, and a huge fireworks display on tap.
The NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour will return to South Boston Speedway next season with a 150-lap event on Saturday, April 14.
Also returning to South Boston Speedway next season is the PASS South Super Late Model series. The series will make three appearances at South Boston Speedway next season, with races on March 24, June 9 and August 18.
Twin races for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model Stock Cars will be included on the card with the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour race and the three PASS South Super Late Model races.
South Boston Speedway officials are also looking at including a Monster Truck Show at the end of the season.
Next season's schedule includes 16 race dates, with its NASCAR points season starting on March 10 and ending on Sept. 15.
The schedule includes a total of 22 races for the NASCAR Whelen All-
American Series Late Model Stock Car Division, 16 races for the Limited Sportsman Division and 15 races for the track's Pure Stock Division.
South Boston Speedway's first two events of the season will be day races on Saturday afternoon, with the track moving to night races starting on April 7.
The track will tentatively hold its annual pre-season Open Practice and Media Day on Saturday, March 3.

"This is an easy recipe for homemade wine. You can choose whatever flavor you like but my favorite is the red. You will need a sterile milk jug, a large latex balloon and a rubber band to complete the project. This Wine is a bit stronger than regular table wine. Its great for cooking as well as drinking."

Original recipe yields 1 gallon
- Combine the yeast, sugar and juice concentrate in a gallon jug. Fill the jug the rest of the way with cold water. Rinse out a large balloon, and fit it over the opening of the jug. Secure the balloon with a rubber band.
- Place jug in a cool dark place. Within a day you will notice the balloon starting to expand. As the sugar turns to alcohol the gasses released will fill up the balloon. When the balloon is deflated back to size the wine is ready to drink. It takes about 6 weeks total.

Although this recipe is a good one IT FAILS TO MENTION SOME VERY IMPORTANT FACTORS, which i find my be the reason to some of the reviews saying it taste horrible and such, the first thing the recipe fails to mention is that you have to poke holes into your ballon so that the carbondixocide being produced can excape yet keep air from getting in the second and most important is that the recipe ends on the note "then after 5 weeks or the ballon is not getting bigger anymore its ready to drink" WRONG!! well kinda.. it is ready to drink but with the exception it will be nasty like most reviews said.. see you need to ethier siphon the stuff out or filter it.. you dont want the dead yeast and suger on the bottom of the bottle that has settled or you will probly give it the bad review like others did.. all you want is the yeasts (aka alcohol) oh yeah alcohol is just yeast pee pee incase you didnt know hehe so enjoy ;) anyways do that and expect it to be GREAT!!!
I made this using white grape raspberry, white grape peach, and grape. The grape raspberry and grape peach are really good (and strong!) but the grape is by far the best. I used 6 cups of sugar and the result is a very sweet wine, which is what we like. I used yeast made especially for wine and I boiled my water and sugar to make sure all the sugar dissolved. After 5 weeks I poured through coffee filters and transferred wine to another container for a couple of weeks before bottling. This is the perfect wine to use to make Sangria.
There is a reason that wineries possess expensive, specialized equipment to produce their product: making good-tasting wine is a delicate process. Needless to say, this recipes covers the essentials of the process and produces a product that does indeed suggest wine. I must make one suggestion though, dissolve most of the sugar in boiled water. At the beginning of my experience with this recipe, most of the sugar fell to the bottom and did not react as well with the yeast as when I'd boiled it.

The fourth of five posts taking an absurdly early look at the 2013 lacrosse season based on the information at hand today
10. DENVER (9-7 in 2012)
Last seen: Nearly forcing overtime with eventual national champion Loyola in the NCAA quarterfinals thanks to a frantic fourth quarter rally.
Senior starts lost: 36 of 160 (22.5 percent)
Scoring departing: 123 of 320 points (38.4 percent)
100ish-word lookahead: The Pioneers won't find it as easy to roll up a dozen goals without Mark Matthews, the school's career leader in goals and points. They should, however, be improved on defense after utilizing an incredibly young group at that end of the field (freshman goalie, freshman pole, and a freshman, sophomore and junior on close defense) as the season wound to a close. Goalie Jamie Faus should be back from ACL surgery as well. Offensively, Jeremy Noble will be the centerpiece of an imposing midfield, and ECAC rookie of the year Wes Berg will assume an even greater role as a sophomore. Count on this: Bill Tierney will find a way to have this group in the hunt for the final four.
Last seen: Getting shredded in the NCAA quarterfinals by Duke to end probably the best year in program history. Less than two weeks later, Peter Baum was honored for his sublime season with the Tewaaraton Award.
Senior starts lost: 37 of 180 (20.6 percent)
Scoring departing: 76 of 365 points (20.8 percent)
100ish-word lookahead: Baum will be back and, by extension, so will the Raiders. It was good for the sport for another program to take a step into the quarterfinals for the first time, and it was also a strong development that the consensus best player in the game hailed from Portland, Ore. – not exactly a traditional hotbed. Few teams are as much fun to watch as Colgate, but eight of its last 10 opponents scored at least 10 goals. How much of that is a function of the Raiders pushing the pace and surrendering opportunities as a side effect, and how much of it just being an average defense? It's probably a mix of both. Nonetheless, Colgate will score in bunches next season; if it can improve at the other end, it will be a sneaky final four pick.
Last seen: Capping an inconsistent second half of the season with a 12-10 loss to Notre Dame – but not before Steele Stanwick tossed up seven points as his impressive career came to a close.
Senior starts lost: 80 of 160 (50 percent)
Scoring departing: 167 of 306 points (54.6 percent)
100ish-word lookahead: There are unknowns all over the place for the Cavaliers, who lose their three 35-point players (Stanwick, Chris Bocklet and Colin Briggs), their top defenseman (Matt Lovejoy) and a one-year goalie who worked out better than anyone could have imagined (Rob Fortunato). It's a scary spot for a team that never did piece together things on the offensive end. Virginia stockpiles talent as well as anyone in the game and chances are the Cavaliers will be solid enough when the tournament arrives next spring, but don't discount the possibility of more severe (albeit temporary) slippage in Charlottesville. Dom Starsia and Co. rarely face a season when the window to winning a national title is shut almost from the start, but that might be the case in 2013.
Last seen: Unable to stop Deron Dempster and Yale in the Ivy League semifinals, a setback that ultimately squashed the Big Red's NCAA tournament hopes and left Cornell with its first three-game losing streak since 2001.
Senior starts lost: 27 of 130 (20.8 percent)
Scoring departing: 74 of 229 points (32.3 percent)
100ish-word lookahead: This ranking (and the starts lost and departing scoring stats) are contingent on the return of attackman Rob Pannell for a fifth year. Pannell's immense value was understood before this season, but the Big Red's evolution from national title contender to bubble team underscored just what he could do for Cornell. Consider: Pannell's nine assists ranked third on the team even though he only played in two of 13 games thanks to a foot injury. The Big Red will struggle to replace do-everything midfielder Roy Lang, and Chris Langton (18 goals, two assists) also departs. But just as Cornell's greatest aspirations rested upon a healthy Pannell this spring, they very well may again next year.
Last seen: Losing at home in the first round of the NCAA tournament for the third time in five years, dropping the Tar Heels' postseason record since 1994 to 4-11.
Senior starts lost: 28 of 170 (16.5 percent)
Scoring departing: 51 of 347 points (14.7 percent)
100ish-word lookahead: No program in the sport warrants as much skepticism as the Tar Heels, who for the better part of a decade have consistently dazzled on paper with oodles of talent only to fall short in May (and sometimes even earlier). North Carolina has figured out the regular season portion of things under Joe Breschi, averaging 11.5 victories and even winning a couple ACC semifinals over the last four years. The NCAA tournament? That's another story. It's tempting to nudge the Tar Heels into the top five, especially with so many young guys developing as the spring unfolded (three freshmen and two sophomores started on offense at the end of the season). There's a real chance the Tar Heels finally reach the final four for the first time since 1993 – but how often have we heard that? Carolina fans could be left muttering "Next time" yet again in a year.

One of the big questions coming into the 2013 Greenbrier Classic was whether or not Phil Mickelson would play into the weekend. In two previous appearances at The Old White, Mickelson's time on the fame course came to an end on Fridays.
Would 2013 be different?
In Thursday's first round Lefty shot a four-over 72. Friday he started well on the back nine but went flat on the front nine and finished with a 2-under 68, leaving him at two over par 142 and once again failing to make the cut for the third consecutive year.
"I played really well today," Mickelson said. "I hit a lot of good shots and I think I've figured out why I've struggled here. It's my distance control with my irons I haven't figured out yet.
"We're a couple thousand feet, we've been practicing at sea level, so obviously it's going to go longer. It's the same altitude as Phoenix, but it goes different yardage and I haven't quite figured it out."
Despite his lack of success in White Sulphur Springs, Lefty made it sound like he thinks highly of the course and will be back.
"I think it's one of the best architecturally designed golf courses that we've played," Mickelson commented. "I'm looking at every hole, studying it, learning from it. I thought the course set-up was fabulous this year. I just think it's a great track. It's a wonderful golf course and hotel experience."
There were struggles and successes by some of the game's big names on day two of the Classic.
Greenbrier Golf Pro Emeritus Tom Watson will be playing into the weekend. Watson, 63 years old, followed his first round two-under 68 with a second round one-under 69 and stands at three-under 137.
"I played very well from tee to green," Watson said. "My putter was very balky today. I did make one good one on the last hole. I changed my stroke and that gives me some confidence about maybe what I did with that stroke is maybe what I need to do because I was struggling on the greens today.
"I hit the ball very, very well and like yesterday, I missed a lot of putts. I three-putted three times today and it was kind of an ugly day on the greens, but a real good day for the ball striking category."
Another Watson, Bubba, who won last year's Masters, finished with the same score as the legendary Watson. Bubba, after a two-under par round on Thursday, finished one under Friday and like Tom Watson, checked in at 137, three under par. Bubba was not pleased with his overall game.
"I hit the ball great again, just made no putts, only made two birdies, one bogey. Just not making the putts," Bubba Watson said. "To share the lead or to move up the leaderboard you've got to make putts and I'm just not making putts. I had a lot of good iron shots, lot of good tee shots but not making putts in two days."
Another tour leader who did not fare well and did not make the cut was Vijay Singh. Singh was three-over in Thursday's opening round and shot an even par 70 on Friday to finish at a 3-over 143.
Last year's winner, Ted Potter Jr., fired a four-under 66 on Friday. Coupled with his one-under 69 on Thursday, Potter sits at 4-under 135 headed into the weekend.
"I got off to a good start on No. 10, bounced back on 11, made a birdie there. I birdied 18. Eighteen, I guess I like a lot," Potter said. "Hit a pretty good shot in there both days now, hit a couple good shots on eight and nine, chipped in on No. 7 to make birdie there and come back and hit it close on eight to get another nice birdie coming in. All in all it was a good day for me."
Potter was paired with Mickelson the first two rounds and spoke of his fellow golfer.
"I just said thanks," Potter said. "That's the first time I ever played with him. I don't know what to say to him like that. I know I guess it's the third time he missed the cut, but I'm sure he'll be all right, he'll get over it and be back next year and try to break the curse."
Scott Stallings, winner of the 2011 Greenbrier Classic, along with Davis Love III were with the Watsons at 137.
John Daly withdrew after the first round, having shot a five-over 75 on Thursday.

the swiss figure Skater Karin Iten died in Winterthur.
She was bronze medailist at 1973 european championships in cologne.
Does anyone know why she died?
the swiss figure Skater Karin Iten died in Winterthur.
She was bronze medailist at 1973 european championships in cologne.
Does anyone know why she died?
Shocking! Too young to die. Iten had good figures but her freeskating was considered to be very sub-par. At 75 worlds I think she went something like 2-27-27 and there were 27 girls in the competition. Ouch!
I'd be curious to hear what she died of as well.
According to the article, she started performing the Biellmann spin before Denise. I saw a few other articles that mentioned she actually taught Denise the Biellmann spin.
I've found some more now, unfortunately in german.
Her bad results in free skating 75 were because she was diagnosed with diabetes in 1970 and 5 years later she had problems with her eyes and power. She had problems to train jumps because lack of energy. She had big problems with her health. 20 years ago she had a kidney transplantation and transplantation of pancreas. In summer 09 she had a surgery at her heart (sorry for my english).
here are some pictures
Best regards

Moved to GSD as it's news and tragic at that. RIP Karin. Gone way too young. I have seen clips of her free skating and spinning was definitely her strength in free skating rather than jumps, but her figures by all accounts were something else.
oh sorry, I was not aware of the Folder I was posting in. (The trash can)
Thank you for moving .
Here is a bit more about her:
Would someone translate the main points, please?
Very sad news. I remember her from the days when I started following figure skating in earnest.
RIP, Karen.
Dick Button Historical Quote of the Month: "Good for you, Lucinda Ruh!"
translating the main points.... It's not easy, because she is speaking swiss german, very strange for me. But the comment are in german.
The video starts with a ring, her father gave to her in 1970. She tells, she loves it, because it's sparkles and glitters. We see her on the podium of the europeans 1973 and we are told that she quit skating 2 years later. What happened, asks the speaker.
She answered, she was told to quit. She did not know why at that point. It sounds angry.
The speaker comment: Coach Gershwiler knew very well, why she couldn't skate, she had diabetes...
Karin shows her skates down in the cellar. She tells, she live on her own, never was married. She watched old videos and told, she was always angry, when she heard "Biellmann spin". "I know, it is my spin".
She was working for 3 hours a day at Panalpina. We see her in the office. It was important for her having a team.
At the end of the video we see the ring again.
I've watched the video again now.

Newburyport Daily News
---- — NEWBURYPORT — Starting today, the city's Health Department is extending it hours to accommodate anyone seeking a flu shot.
Department hours this week will be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and tomorrow and 8 a.m. to noon Wednesday through Friday.
City health officials are recommending everyone become vaccinated against the influenza virus due to the high levels of "influenza-like illness" across the region. They especially urge flu shots for people at high risk, including children under 5 years old, but especially younger than 2 and adults 65 and older. People with medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, chronic lung disease, heart disease, neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions, blood disorders, kidney or liver disorders and people with weak immune systems are also at increased risk for the flu.
The Centers for Disease Control and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health have identified a Type A influenza known as H3N2 as the predominant strain reported so far this season. The strain, historically associated with more serious illnesses, is among those covered by the current vaccine.
Officials said while no vaccine is 100 percent effective, some people might get vaccinated and get the flu in the 10 days to two weeks it takes for the immunity to take hold. The Influenza vaccine produced this season is 91 percent effective, officials report.
Massachusetts is one out 29 states reporting high levels of influenza-like illness this season, with at least 18 related deaths reported. The CDC reports that the proportion of people visiting health care providers and hospitals with flu-like symptoms climbed from 2.8 percent to 5.6 percent within the last four weeks. At this time last flu season, that spike was only at 2.2 percent. The estimated rate of flu-related hospitalizations in the U.S. was 8.1 per 100,000 people, which is high for this time of year.
For more information on the vaccine virus selection, visit the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/vaccine-selection.htm. For a complete list of people at risk, visit www.cdc.gov/flu/swineflu/h3n2v-cases.htm. For more on tracking and surveillance of the influenza virus visit, www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/fluactivitysurv.htm.
To reach the city's Health Department, call 978-465-4410.

Who else has come on board since you began marketing this product?
Customers like Merrill Lynch have moved over to using the software themselves. The software has only been available since early summer. We'll [start adding new customers] as we compete longer in the marketplace. Why would anyone take the risk to invest in this product?
If you look at our financials, we have $250 million in gross cash. We have a lot of people that know storage. If you look at is as a pure start-up, it's the most well-funded company you've every seen.
We have staying power. We're investing in the right technology. We're building a sales management team with a strong emphasis on software. We also have very strong financial leadership.
Where is StorageNetworks taking this product?
Everyone is looking to create this type of utility model in their business. [They're looking to do] chargeback, data protection, provisioning management, etc. They're looking for capacity-based, performance information. StorageNetworks [because of its service business] is managing a petabyte of storage [with this product]. We have a lot of insight to do that effectively. We're maintaining that business, but it's no longer a growth area, so we're using the software in that business [to build a new one].
This is a huge piece of intellectual property that we have. That's a big advantage for us -- a large proving ground -- managing 40 data centers. We're
There's a lot of businesses out there with good product but, unfortunately, [they] won't see the light of day simply because they don't have the resources. We'll be looking at those companies. What other areas will you focus on?
Storage resource management. At this point, what's your biggest obstacle?
It's time-to-market. We have to have the right product for the customer at the right time. Nobody in this space is sitting still. There are other products that are getting stronger and stronger. Customers will buy a product that will solve their problem. They don't have the appetite for buying suites of products. We're going to take a different tack. We're going to focus on our core competency. That's why you see products like TrelliSoft [an SRM vendor] making sales in this product. They address a specific problem. StorageNetworks has always had an incestuous relationship with EMC. Are you still competing with EMC?
You're always going to compete with them. EMC's solutions are very good -- for a shop that's all EMC. EMC is going to say they're heterogeneous, but the solution isn't going to be as good as if a shop was using all EMC products. There's always going to be a layer of proprietary management software. We're not going to try to displace that.
There's a lot of room in this market for the products that solve the problem. It's hard to master that when you have that huge breadth of product like EMC. We're going to go deeper.
Who are your customers?
EDS is a major customer. We've packaged the storage for external use so they can create their own utility. What are some of the companies you're looking at?
We're going to focus on what our customers are buying today. They're buying lots of backup solutions-- products that are insurance-based. We're going to be [looking at companies that focus on] replication and management of that recovery process. Users are also looking to cut costs, so we're focusing on that basic labor level.

A inmate remains on the loose after escaping from custody more than a week ago. Now, the police are asking for your help in their search.
On Sunday, Feb. 25 shortly after 10 p.m., Sean McKenzie, who was incarcerated in the Sedgwick County Detention Facility, was working as a trustee. McKenzie, two other trustees and three deputies were taking out the trash when he made a run for it. Two deputies chased McKenzie but he was able to get away.
McKenzie was in custody facing theft, burglary and drug charges. He is 33 years old, 5'11 tall and weighs 175 pounds. He has brown hair that's usually kept shaved and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a tan jumpsuit.
McKenzie has several tattoos, including symbols for alpha and omega on the backs of his calves, the English lion on his right biceps, a large cross with circle on the left biceps and the words "Never, Never, Never Give Up" across his upper chest.
Anyone with information about McKenzie's whereabouts should call Crime Stoppers at 267-2111. You can also submit a tip by texting TIP217, then your message to CRIMES (274637). All ways are secure and anonymous.
If your tip leads to an arrest you may be eligible for a cash reward up to $1,000 and Crime Stoppers will never ask your name.

The downfall of American culture and the decline of the
Sexual immorality has created the welfare state, the abortion industry,
the porn machine, the STD epidemic, the normalization and legitimization of
sexual perversion, the attack on the nuclear family, and the erosion of the
sanctity of marriage. Nudity, profanity,
and intense sexual situations are routinely portrayed on television, in movies,
and on video and computer games. Sex
crimes in the military are at an all-time high.
Sexual infidelity is a leading cause of divorce. Graphic sex education is beginning as early
as kindergarten in some areas and schools.
The more our culture breaks down sexual barriers the more grief abounds
in wrecked lives. The hippies of the sixties
and seventies who touted sexual freedom and revolution are now in charge of the
government and universities and have led our nation to become a cesspool of
selfishness and sexual self-gratification at any cost. To the point that we've now got Boy Scouts
marching in gay pride events.
And where has the voice of organized Christianity been? Arguing with itself about whether or not
there even is such a thing as sexual immorality! Entire Christian denominations have split and
splintered over the ordination of homosexual clergy. The divorce rate in the Church is pretty much
the same as it is in the culture and for the same reason:
infidelity. One recent study conducted
by Christianity Today
revealed that an incredible 40% of pastors are addicted to pornography. And because sex has become a hot button issue
in politics many Christians refuse to discuss anything about sex claiming it is
politics and politics should not be discussed in church. So when was the last time you heard either a
Sunday School lesson or a sermon on the topic of sexual purity?
Is the Church unclear about what the Bible says regarding
sexual purity or does it just not care?
There is no gray area on the topic of sex in the Bible. First Thessalonians 4:3 probably says it most
succinctly: "God's will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual
sin" (NLT). There is not a book in the New Testament that
doesn't address sexual purity either directly or indirectly. To the Corinthians Paul cries out, "Run from
sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For
sexual immorality is a sin against your own body" (1 Corinthians 6:18). Peter writes, "Supplement your faith with a
generous provision of moral excellence" (2 Peter 1:5) and warns that God "is
especially hard on those who follow their own twisted sexual desire…" (2 Peter
American society is crumbling before our eyes and the Church
is either too embarrassed to address the issue of sexual purity or deceived
into believing that the only kind of sexual immorality is to say that another's
sexual desires are unholy and therefore wrong.
If the Church claims to care so much about the impoverished,
downtrodden, and emasculated why isn't it shouting to society the message of
holiness through sexual purity? I am not
talking about a message of condemnation aimed at people engaging in unholy
sexual behavior. I am talking about
proclaiming a message of deliverance from guilt, shame, disease, broken
families, and shattered lives through sexual purity! Why are we not getting it?
It is pretty obvious is it not? The Church of modernity cares more about
being accepted by the elites than it does in helping the sinner. It cares more about "marriage equality" than
it does about sexual purity. It has
chosen progressivism over Biblicism.
America can forget about a sweeping spiritual revival if it cannot count
on the Church to extol holiness through sexual purity. There was no condemnation from Jesus to the
woman caught in the act of adultery. But
neither was there accommodation: "Go and sin no more" (John 8:11).
If the Church refuses to forgive sinners as well as admonish
them to practice holiness…how can it believe it is faithful to God? Then, the cryptic question of Christ begs an
answer: "when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who
have faith?" (Luke 18:8). You see, there
is more to faith than believing in the deity of Christ. Hebrews 12:14 says that no one can expect to
see God who isn't holy. And what did
Paul tie holiness to in 1 Thessalonians 4:3?

Court Says "No" to Net Neutrality
Washington - Apr 6, 2010 - In March, the FCC released its National Broadband Plan. Many of the details in that plan are now in trouble following a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C.

Empty Nest
With the norm nowadays being one child (or none) per family, it's unusual, or unheard of, for there to be 12 children in one family. And when they all get together for a family reunion — watch out! But Felix and Lupe Reyes of Floris had 12 children — six girls and six boys! And they were all raised in a three-bedroom home in Flores with no running water. The kids hand carried water from a well for drinking, cooking, laundry and bathing. You can pretty much bet more than one kid used the same bath water! The kids also chopped wood for the wood-burning stove.
On Saturday night, Nov. 9, the Reyes family all got together in Bloomfield for a tamale dinner, because that's what mom always fixed. On Sunday, they were back for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. The Reyes family knows how to have a reunion! Why not? Whenever you can get all 12 of the children together at one time to honor the loving, Christian, hard working family they came from, it's an event worth pulling out all the stops!
The 12 kids came from all over the country, as far away as California and Florida. The oldest was born in 1945 and the youngest in 1963. That's an 18-year spread for 12 children!
Mom and Pop Reyes are both passed away, but what they taught their children is as ingrained as a knot in a hedge post: hard work, trust in God, help others and the family is everything.
When the father, Felix Reyes was 35, and working for the railroad, he rented a sleeping room from the man who was to be his father-in-law, although he didn't know it at the time. All he knew was that there was a pretty daughter who he couldn't keep his eyes off of at the dinner table. Lupe was 23. Without ever dating, or even kissing, he asked Lupe to marry him. She said no. He asked her a second time. She still put him off. On the third try, she relented, but Felix would have to ask her father, and the priest. Gulp.
