Rapid technological advancements in the 20th century led to a major increase in global trade among nations. With the formation of World Trade Organization (WTO), most countries have been forced to reduce trade barriers, resulting in substantial international business opportunities. Large multi-national corporations from the developed countries have made direct and indirect investments in the emerging economies of the world to expand their business horizons internationally. The inherent advantages of business organizations to enter international markets include growth of sales revenues, global economies of scale to improve business efficiencies and attractive profit potential in new markets.
However, a number of challenges still exist in achieving success in international markets. The global corporations are exposed to greater financial risk in new and untested markets. The local laws and government regulations are usually complex and foreign businesses may find it more difficult to operate under such conditions. Foreign currency fluctuations and unpredictability of the financial markets is also key challenge for global corporations. Cultural and linguistic barriers may also pose difficulties for an international firm to establish its business and achieve success against local competition.
Growth in a Global Economy
International business allows an enterprise to have a global vision and achieve the maximum possible sales potential with its innovative goods and services. The business does not have to keep a narrow vision and restrict itself to its native market as long as its products or services have a global appeal and a global demand. If the local market is nearing saturation, it makes good business sense for a company to explore new and unexploited markets where large demand exists for its products and services.
Global Economies of Scale
Operating at a global level allows a company to source its raw materials, components and products from the world's cheapest destinations. At the same time, global production and sales volumes help to bring down the cost per unit due to economies of scale. This enables a business to become globally competitive and achieve domination in the world markets by producing the best quality products at the lowest cost in the world. As per the WTO data, top 500 multinational corporations alone account for more than 70 percent of the global trade.
Increased Profitability
New and untapped markets allow the scope for higher profit margins for a business organization. Instead of fight stiff price wars in a saturated market, international business allows a company to reach out to new markets where the demand is exploding and the domestic supply is unable to match the aspirations of the consumers. It eventually helps to improve the profit bottom line of a global corporation.
Technology Partnerships
International business enables a multinational corporation to make full utilization of its investments in technology and intellectual property. It can license the intellectual property or enter into technology transfer agreements with companies in various parts of the world that need such technology. Therefore, the global corporation can maximize its revenues from the technology on an international scale. In an era of rapidly advancing technologies, it is useful to exploit the technology to the fullest before it becomes outdated.
Risk of Political Instability
Companies that operate in an international business environment are constantly exposed to the risk of political, social and economic instability in the foreign markets. Political instability makes it more difficult for multinational companies to do business in a foreign country. If the company has already made large financial investments in the country, it may risk losing the investments in the wake of unexpected political, social or economic events.
Complex Local Laws and Regulations
International business exposes a multinational corporation to a complex web of laws and government regulations in each country of its operation. It can be more difficult for a foreign entity to understand and interpret the local laws, and the chances of legal disputes may increase. Rapidly changing government regulations may also make it more challenging for a global business to operate smoothly in a foreign market.
Fluctuations in Financial Markets and Currency
Global companies face the inherent risk of operating in diverse markets where foreign currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly. Instability in the financial markets or frequent fluctuations in the interest rates, stock markets and real estate may also pose challenges for a foreign company to invest and run the business in such markets.
Cultural Barriers
International business organizations face the challenge of cultural, ethnic and linguistic barriers in various world markets. They need to comprehend the cultural sensitivities of the local consumers and business associates. Linguistic challenges can also make it more difficult for a multinational company to operate in such markets.
Multinational companies usually hire international business consultants when they plan to enter, operate or expand in foreign markets. Such consulting firms are experts in the local market, but they charge a hefty fee for their services to enable the company to set up its business in the local market. Some global consultants work on a commission basis, which may be a percentage of the total investment made in the foreign country, or a percentage of the sales or export revenues achieved.
Despite the inherent risks and costs involved in international business, it is critical for any large business organization to think in terms of global business. In an increasingly globalized economy, business competencies may not be achieved by confining the business to the native market alone.
Are you looking to globalize your business? International business growth requires considerable effort, time, and persistence. Expanding your business outside of the country can be difficult and quite expensive, but it can also have many benefits for your company. If you do signification research, follow careful strategies, and consider international laws and regulations, your globalization can be very successful.
In order to begin the process of expanding your company on an international level, you will need to analyze other countries' markets. Some countries offer incentives to entice foreign companies because they will benefit from the technology, jobs, and capital that the company will bring. This can be a major advantage to choosing one country over another as a location; however, you need to look at political policies, cultural factors, and geographic influences as well.
When globalizing your business, be sure to protect your brand and worldwide reputation by adhering to labor and human rights standards. Maintaining high ethical standards will translate into good business, strong international partnerships, and positive relations with foreign associates and government officials.

Enid News and Eagle
The list of pastimes for a high school basketball player in bantam-sized Burlington isn't long.
"Go to the gym, pretty much," said senior Brandon Gosselin, the Elks' best player at 19 points and 12 rebounds per game and likely the best in a town of 153 Burlington-ites. "That's pretty much all we do."
Before Saturday's third-place game in the Cherokee Strip Tournament at the Chisholm Trail Expo Center, the payoff from countless, nothing-better-to-do hours on a basketball court showed. Warm-up jumpers obediently dove through the net with relentless efficiency regardless of the shooter — not that there were many to choose from, which is the downside to Burlington's small stature.
Fully stocked, the No. 12 Elks field seven players.
Never legion in number — the Lady Elks have 13 players, and the Elks themselves typically have about 15 — this year's team was hamstrung early, when 2012-13's incoming freshman basketball class included only girls.
With no new blood to fill a departing party of five seniors and one foreign exchange student whose stateside tour had expired, the boys basketball team in Burlington was the smallest it's ever been in years, a coincidence that has presented its share of problems in games.
Foul trouble is even nearer and dearer to the Elks, a further bench-thinning disqualification potentially meaning the difference in a close game.
Already this season, Burlington has played without a full deck, utilizing just six players when senior guard Tyler Flackman missed time with an injury.
Out of habit, the Elks made due.
"It's the same as playing with seven people," Gosselin said. "You've just got to play hard and forget about everything else."
Not that they didn't take advantage of the odd chance to sneak in a breather.
"Wait for a timeout, wait for a ball to go out of bounds," sophomore forward Kyle Ellerbeck said.
The short staff has more regularly hindered the team in preparation for games rather than during them, with many sessions limited to four, or even three players when their teammates had other obligations.
"It's hard to practice," said Gosselin, whose next smallest team had 13 players. "We've only got seven guys, and sometimes coach is out there trying to help us. He'll be an eighth guy out there passing the ball trying to move us on defense."
On the floor, the results have remained consistent with a town that's grown to expect court consistency. Burlington is 339-115 in head coach Randy Turney's 16-year tenure, and this season's girls team is 20-3 and ranked fourth in Class B.
After finishing 27-3 a season ago, Burlington's boys are 18-5 and ranked 12th in OKrankings.com's latest poll.
Again on Saturday, Burlington hurdled its numbers disadvantage with relative ease, routing Lomega 62-29 to secure Cherokee Strip bronze.
"It's because of coach," Gosselin said. "He's always on us. He has a gameplan for every game. He always makes sure that we know what we're doing, who we need to guard, he's on us in practice, working hard all the time. He's the reason we're always successful."
Burlington visits Timberlake at 8 p.m. Friday. After a first-round bye in the playoffs, the Elks will host Prue in the District 5 finals at 8 p.m. Feb. 9, and already are guaranteed a spot in the regional bracket.
Four seniors will graduate after this season, which might produce an even more complicated roster situation for 2013-14's team. Next season's freshman class of players, though it could grow, is so far comparably robust — two.

Rappers Rick Ross and Jay-Z have collaborated again on an upcoming track for Rozay. The new song will appear on Ross's new album, "God Forgives, I Don't," which will see its release date sometime in early 2012.
In a recent interview with MTV's Sucker Free show, Rick Ross and his protegé Meek Mill of MMG were there to talk about the new project and Rick's health. Previously, Ross and Jay-Z have hooked up on the tracks "Free Mason" and "Maybach Music." Rick said of his collaboration with Jigga:
"You know, whenever me and the homie come together to collaborate, we gotta make it something special for Hip Hop. We always make sure we have fun with it, but this record right here, this is our biggest collaboration ever. It will be featured on God Forgives, I Don't."
This sounds like it could be quite an album, and based on previous comments from Drake, it could be a classic. Among the guests in addition to Jay are Nicki Minaj and Drake on confirmed songs. Having rappers including Jay-Z on your songs don't hurt one bit, as many hip hop fans never tire of listening to Jigga on tracks. Meanwhile, there are those who continue to question Rick Ross's street credibility, but he continues to sell records. Will he find this latest album to be his biggest success to date, or will not enough fans buy into it?

Even though FiveThirtyEight.com has PPP as a little better than average, there are things that just don't seem right about this poll.
Can't draw any conclusions from the crosstabs because, as fwiffo3 points out, the numbers are astoundingly small.

I didn't know that posting easily accessible public information (by clicking on "Who Recommended This Diary") is considered bullying.
It's obvious, isn't it? Her opinion on who to vote for don't count among her supporters
I'd amend that to say, "Very few Democratic Clinton supporters are voting for McCain."
And you could even put 'Democratic' in quotations.
The fact that any Democrat or, indeed, non party-hack Republican can say this is disturbing.
See why Democrats and progressives should never trust Fox.
I have noticed this in New Mexico. I'll write a post about the latest SUSA poll, then the next day, a Rasmussen poll.
But I thought this wasn't true and only sexists would dare even bring it up...
I'm confused.
Wait. The only widespread use of "bitch" that I have seen is when Clinton supporters took to heart the "Bitch is the new black" comment from Tina Fey.
Is this what this post is referring to?
So let me turn this question on you: if you believe Kos is a concern troll, then do you believe Jerome Armstrong is one as well?
He even backed Richardson for a while... then realized he wasn't a good candidate.
horrible metaphor on a number of levels.
Number one, Obama has already addressed this issue a number of times. Everyone here, as the political junkies we are, know this. We've read this.
However, Jerome chooses to ignore this. Does your doctor choose to ignore mentioning what he has done to help fight the problem?
Or does he just not say anything at all about what can possibly be done, just say, "it's effective" and praise the problem?
She ran into a candidate who was just better than her at campaigning, and didn't change her campaign strategy until it was too late.
To say she lost because of her sniper comments is ridiculous; the Jeremiah Wright story got much more play in the media than the sniper story did.
I refuse to rec what anyone named "smith" says because someone named smith was a jerk to me in the past.
dramatic, are we?
Unfortunately in your case, you only seem concerned with accountability on the Democratic side, ignoring any Republican transgressions to jump to the head of the line to criticize Democrats.
And I used the word concern deliberately.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Ivanhoe Newswire) - It's being called the plague of the twenty-first century. Sixty million adults are now obese. It costs $147-billion to treat it annually. Now, a new less invasive procedure is helping people who have tried everything, to finally get control of their weight.
It doesn't take long for costume designer Courtney Gileo to help actors transform.
"I'm altering a vintage dress for a dance piece for west side story," Courtney told Ivanhoe.
Now, Courtney is working to transform herself. Yo-yoing from 120 to 330 pounds, Courtney tried a new procedure at UC San Diego called stomach plication—think of it as stomach origami.
"Instead of dividing the stomach, in gastric plication, we take the stomach and we fold it in upon itself," Garth r. Jacobsen, M.D., FACS, a bariatric surgeon at UC San Diego, explained.
Unlike gastric bypass, it's reversible. Surgeons don't use permanent staples to decrease the size of the stomach and they don't reroute the small intestine.
"What we are seeking to do is to minimize that risk," Dr. Jacobsen said.
It's the most minimally invasive procedure to reduce the stomach's size by as much as 70 percent. After stomach plication, Courtney lost 40 pounds in five weeks.
"I'm not hungry. I don't have the same hunger signals," Courtney said.
She's happy and so is her husband.
"He's just really happy for me, so it's amazing," Courtney Gileo
There are some downsides to the procedure, like gastric reflux, but the doctor says it decreases over time. Doctors said most patients can expect to lose two pounds per week with stomach plication.
BACKGROUND: Obesity means having too much body fat and also that a person's weight is higher than what is considered to be healthy for their height. Biology plays a big role in why some people become obese, but not getting enough exercise, eating more food than the body can use, and drinking too much alcohol also contributes to people becoming obese. Obesity is a major health threat because excess weight puts more stress on every part of the body and puts people at risk of several health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. (Source: www.nih.gov)
SIGNS: How do you know if you are obese? The two common ways to determine your weight and the health risks associated with that weight are body mass index (aka BMI) and waist circumference. Both of these measurements can estimate how much body fat you have. BMI is calculated using height and weight, so different people will have different BMIs that are considered healthy. Waist circumference is the size of a person's waist (the area right about the hip bones) and extra weight around the waist and stomach has been linked to several health problems. A good rule of thumb for waist circumference is to maintain a waist size that is smaller than hip circumference. For people who naturally have body shapes where their hips are larger than their waist, they still have an increased risk for the diseases linked to extra weight around the waist.
TREATMENT: For some people, lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly can help them drop body fat and stop being obese. For others though, it can be extremely difficult to lose the body fat and keep it off. Medications for losing weight fast are all over the market, but some can have serious side effects and may not actually be effective. For obese people who can't lower their amount of body fat through lifestyle changes, surgery is an option. These are three common weight-loss surgeries:
Laparoscopic gastric banding – A band is placed around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch to hold food; limiting the amount of food a person can eat.
Gastric bypass surgery – The stomach is made smaller with staples and then a small part of the small intestine is connected to the stomach pouch left to hold food so the body will absorb fewer calories.
Sleeve gastrectomy – This surgery is less common and parts of the stomach are actually removed to make it smaller. (Source: www.nih.gov)
STOMACH PLICATION: Stomach plication is a minimally invasive surgery where the stomach is folded into a smaller size, and the doctors can even reduce the volume of the stomach by 70 percent. Stomach plication is possibly reversible and is performed laparoscopically, which means only one to five small incisions are made in the abdomen to reach the stomach. Another benefit of stomach plication is that the patient will not have any severe food restrictions. Currently, stomach plication is a clinical trial option at the University of California San Diego Health System. (Source: www.ucsd.edu)
Dr. Garth Jacobsen, Assistant Professor of Surgery, Bariatric Surgery at the University of California San Diego, talks about a new alternative to gastric bypass surgery that's helping patients lose weights.
How long have you been doing this type of surgery?
Dr. Jacobsen: I'm about four years out of my training and I've seen a lot of change over the last four years.
When you first started was gastric bypass the norm?
Dr. Jacobsen: Yes, throughout my residency and fellowship training gastric bypass was the standard of care for surgery in the United States and then came on the Intestinal gastric band, and more recently sleeve plication is one of the more investigational procedures that we have.
They tend to be less and less invasive right?
Dr. Jacobsen: Right. That's one of the pushes that we have here at the Center for Future of Surgery is to try to minimize the impact on the patient. So each of the surgeries we perform sequentially becomes less invasive as the progress continues.
Can you talk about the gastric plication?
Dr. Jacobsen: Essentially what that is, is stomach folding, or essentially folding the stomach upon itself to reduce the volume.
Why is that better than the lap band?
Dr. Jacobsen: One of the main risks in gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy is leak from the staple lines. Any time you divide the stomach or have to reattach intestines there's an increased risk of surgical mishaps or problems. So what we're seeking to do is to minimize those risks, and by not dividing the stomach and not having to reroute intestines, we're trying to minimize that risk.
You would think with folding there would be leakage?
Dr. Jacobsen: Well since we're not actually dividing the stomach we don't have to worry about a staple and that's usually where we worry about the leakage occurring. We're not saying the risk is zero percent, but it's certainly less than with a conventional gastric bypass.
A man was in here and he had gastric bypass years ago. I don't think people realize that your stomach can again grow and you would need it again if you started to gain weight. Is that true?
Dr. Jacobsen: Absolutely, a small portion of patients that undergo gastric bypass will experience weight gain and we're still trying to discover what the reasons for that are. We don't have it from my understanding, but one of the things that can lead to that is stretching of the gastric pouch or stretching of the attachment point between the gastric pouch and the valve. We've pioneered some techniques here at UCSD to shrink the stomach back down again. This, however, is an attempt to take that concept into the neighbor stomach and take a patient that hasn't had bariatric surgery and give them some restriction to their food intake.
Does that mean with the plication it won't stretch again?
Dr. Jacobsen: It's still investigational, we're not sure what the ten year outcomes of this procedure are going to be, but certainly earlier results have been encouraging.
What do you like better about this procedure?
Dr. Jacobsen: Well I'm not sure that this procedure is going to be a replacement for most standard procedures, but it could be. We're still early on in the investigation, but we like the option of leaving the patient's native anatomy intact. It's kind of just rearranging it to give them that restriction without having to take part of their intestines out or reroute the intestines.
What patients would this not be good for?
Dr. Jacobsen: Well I think, again, that's still a population we're trying to define, but we're using this procedure in any patient that would be a candidate for conventional gastric bypass. We're following those patients very carefully to see how they do, to see if they do succeed like patients with bypass and see what the long-term consequences are. Certainly we're seeing weight loss; that's very encouraging.
Are there any risks to this?
Dr. Jacobsen: Yes, as with any surgery. Especially with bariatric surgery there are risks. There are risks with just the general anesthesia from the procedure and, as you astutely pointed out earlier, there's a small risk of leak. Just from where we take the stomach sutures and do the folding the stomach can tear, though we haven't seen that in our practice.
Is it any riskier than gastric bypass?
Dr. Jacobsen: I don't think that it would be riskier than gastric bypass. Certainly gastric bypass is one of the standard operations in the United States and most of the morbidity comes from the rerouting of the intestines and the division of the stomach, neither of which are part of this operation.
So traditionally you would staple.
Dr. Jacobsen: So a traditional gastric bypass involves stomach stapling and stomach stapling is just that. We use this device that implants two rows of staples and cuts between it. This is a cutting staple that we use, an everyday tool in the OR. What it does, this is a model of our stomach, we put the stapler across the stomach and we clamp it down, then we essentially automatically deploy these rows of staples, and then a knife blade cuts in between. So what you can see is the end result; this is a vision of the stomach with the staples on the top and the bottom. Gastric plication follows approximately the same principles that we utilize in our bariatric surgery where ours is reduction in stomach volume. Instead of dividing the stomach, in gastric plication we take the stomach and fold it in upon itself. In that folding you can see that you dramatically reduce the volume of the stomach making it harder to eat large quantities of food. This is a reversible procedure which can be undone by undoing the sutures.
Do you like this is better because there's no outside object being put in and you're not changing forever?
Dr. Jacobsen: Sure. Some of the potential advantages of this surgery are the lack of implanting the device. So unlike the gastric band you don't have to implant a device the patient has to wear the rest of their life. Again, as was mentioned before, we don't have to divide the stomach and we don't have to reroute the intestines. The simplicity is the beauty and we're really excited about the potential of this surgery.

FPD quarterback Brooks Stroud is one of those high school football players who hopes to play at the next level, but how high that next level is still to be determined.
Stroud is 6 feet tall, 185 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.65 seconds, which is comparable to Aaron Murrays time at Georgia.
As a two-year starting quarterback at FPD (he also started as a cornerback his sophomore season), he led the Vikings to a 15-8 record and back-to-back appearances in the GHSA Class A playoffs, where they were eliminated by Bremen last year and Landmark Christian this year.
In two years as the Vikings signal caller, Stroud rushed for 1,830 yards and 31 touchdowns while also passing for 2,234 yards and 23 scores with only nine interceptions. He was also the teams punter, averaging 32 yards per kick. Stroud missed the Vikings final two regular season games this season after suffering a concussion in a game against Wilkinson County. Stroud was an honorable mention all-state selection as a junior.
Stroud attended the Nike Sparq Combine last summer in Atlanta along with 1,400 other players and caught the eye of several college coaches. While he has yet to receive a firm scholarship offer, he has drawn interest from the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy, Wofford and Georgia Tech and has visited all four institutions.
There is one constant in the four schools that have shown interest in Stroud, and that is they all utilize a option-type offensive scheme. Stroud is also considering Mercers non-scholarship program that begins play next fall.
Even if a scholarship offer doesnt come, Stroud could get a preferred walk-on designation. He wants to attend a college that is good academically and operates from a run-based offense. His academic qualifications will get him into most schools. He has a 4.0 GPA that includes advanced placement courses and already has scored a 1,200 on the SAT (the NCAA counts only the reading and math portions when determining eligibility).
Although he has been playing football since he was in the second grade, starting at Gilead before transferring to FPD as a sixth grader, Stroud said he didnt think about playing collegiately until last year. In fact, basketball was originally his favorite sport, but not now.
I have always loved football, and there is nothing like Friday nights, Stroud said. Playing in the Georgia High School Association has provided some really good competition. The type (of) offense a school runs will influence my decision where I go, but I am also looking for a good academic institution.
One of Strouds biggest fans is his high school head coach, Greg Moore, who just completed his 13th season in that position at FPD.
Brooks can play at the next level, Moore said. He is incredibly athletic, very strong and very intelligent. He is an instinctive and reactive football player. He is very comfortable running the option. Any team that gives him a shot wont regret it. Not only will they be getting a great person and player, they also get a great family for their program.
In addition to playing football and basketball for the Vikings, Stroud is also a member of the schools baseball and golf teams.
There are a lot of Brooks Stroud type players in the Macon and Middle Georgia area that would like to play college football, and hopefully they will get the opportunity.

By RUSTY EBERT
Courier correspondent
---- — KEOSAUQUA - At Friday night's homecoming, Van Buren recognized a team that made its mark on the football tradition at the school, which dates back to 1898.
The 2013 squad is contributing its chapter to the story.
Van Buren trounced New London, 40-6, uncorking several big plays to make a statement in District 5 of Class 1A. Van Buren took advantage of five New London turnovers, including four interceptions.
The win gave the Warriors a 2-1 record in the district and 3-2 overall. Van Buren is in a three-way tie for second place.
Coach Mike Hurley said it was a good win for the Warriors, which now has several road games ahead.
"We came out flat, but once we started passing, that opened up the running game and we were eventually able to do it at will. We have some big senior linemen and a good group of talented juniors. We like to ground and pound it," Hurley said.
Hurley said the team was moved by the presence of several members of the 1969 football team, the last undefeated team at Van Buren, which was recognized during halftime. Before the game, the 1969 team spoke to the 2013 squad.
"They really motivated the kids and the team responded well," Hurley said.
Last week, Van Buren beat WACO for the first time since the 1969 team beat them, and Friday's win was the first homecoming victory since 2004.
Van Buren spotted New London an early touchdown, with 4:06 left in the first quarter. The Warrior special teams made a mistake on a punt, and New London took advantage, returning it from the 30 to the three-yard line. Van Buren punted, but no one touched the ball, which was still live. A New London player saw his opportunity and then scooped it up and scampered 27 yards. The Tigers scored soon after, but that was their only foray into paydirt.
"I think with homecoming, we weren't that focused in the first quarter," said quarterback Garrett Saunders. "That touchdown woke everybody up."
Brayden Starnes and Wyatt Cole intercepted New London pass attempts in the second quarter, which helped propel Van Buren to three touchdowns in the second 12 minutes of action.
The biggest play came with 11:05 remaining in the half when Saunders connected with Casey Jones on a 70-yard slant-in pass. That score tied things at six.
Sheldon DeWitt scored on a four-yard run with 3:30 on the clock and Saunders hit Brandon Plecker on a 24-yard touchdown pass with 1:16 remaining. The last two 2-point conversions were good and Van Buren had a commanding 22-6 lead at halftime. The only scoring in the third quarter was a 15-yard run by Vaughn Helling, capping a 93-yard drive. Helling had a 52-yard run on the drive.
Van Buren scored two touchdowns in the final 68 seconds of the game. Clemens had a one-yard run and then in the final seconds, Plecker returned a 90 yard interception for six points. On that score, Plecker showed his speed, outracing the entire New London (1-4, 0-3) team, taking only 10 seconds to run the distance.
Saunders helped his cause with an interception and fumble recovery.
Helling led Van Buren with 136 yards on 12 carries. Clemens had 83 yards on 16 attempts. Jones, Plecker and Noah Whitten each had two receptions and Starnes and Clemens each had one. Saunders was eight for 15 passing and 164 yards and two touchdowns. Jones had 10 tackles, while Mitch Garrels, Wyatt Cole and Hunter Coffman totaled eight each.
Van Buren travels to Highland Friday for a critical matchup in Class A, District 5. "We know we have a chance in the remaining games," Saunders said. "They will be tough, but we have an opportunity to make the playoffs, something we've never done before. Everybody is involved in practice. We just need to remain focused, listen to the coaches and take one game at a time."

Appraisals Coming in Low? Pendulum Swings But Fails to Hit Some People in the Head
In last Friday's article at "The Real Deal," http://therealdeal.com/blog/2012/06/22/are-too-low-appraisals-preventing-some-markets-from-recovering/, they ask if appraisers are "scared" to value homes at higher prices in hot markets like Las Vegas.
My answer is "yes" in many cases. They are not reflecting the market conditions. In Las Vegas, most reasonable properties under $200k have multiple offers with many contract prices above the latest comparable sold homes. And in Las Vegas, a slight majority of purchases are all cash. Appraisers seem to be ignoring the cash closed sales or putting little weight on them. So using just the latest financed comps is causing closed-loop feedback where values are remaining study even though the market is speaking volumes that prices should be rising. We have some of the highest demand in history, lowest inventory, mulitple offers over list, and yet prices are just barely ticking up? I guess my economics professor was incorrect.

By Meghann Wilhoite
Whenever I tell people I'm an organist, I usually get one of two reactions. The person I'm talking to hunches over and sings the formidable opening notes of J.S. Bach's D minor Prelude; or, the person relates the organ's slumberous effect during seemingly interminable church services.
Why the disparity in reactions? Why would the pipe organ signify something scary for some people (cue the organ-accompanied Vincent Price monologue in "Thriller"), and something sleepy for others (cue "Nearer, My God, to Thee" played at half speed)?
When you think about it, the pipe organ is simultaneously pew-shakingly powerful and geographically limited. The organ can produce a wide range of sounds. As a composer friend said when I was showing him around the instrument: "The combinations almost seem limitless…" Nonetheless, I will only be able to play the composition he's writing for me at the mostly religious, somber venues that house pipe organs — to the exclusion of the more hip New York City contemporary music venues.
Of course, adventurous composers like Bach (an organist practically from the time his feet could reach the pedal-board) have chosen to channel the unearthliness of reverberant religious locales into their music, composing powerful — at times, shocking — pieces of music.
Case in point, another composer friend wrote a piece for my Master's recital several years ago, based on the hymn tune "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland." He had worked this composition so that when the music reached the point at which the hymn text mentions Hell, the piece would reach its apex with an extremely loud and reverberant chord. When I played the Hell chord in my performance, an elderly woman jumped so violently she nearly fell out of the pew (and left my recital directly thereafter).
This recording of György Ligeti's Volumina is also an excellent example of the organ's potential for shattering the sobriety of its locale. (N.B. This is a somewhat abbreviated version of Volumina, which is usually around nine minutes long. I just couldn't resist this particular monk's interpretation.)
Whatever you think of when you think of the pipe organ (if you think of it at all), remember this: There's a person behind that instrument! Very few of us live in church basements plotting evil schemes, and even fewer of us purposely set out to bore you to sleep. We're just in love with the king of instruments.

2 Responses to "The king of instruments: Scary or sleepy?"
Thank you for a thoughtful post. I think the phenomenon you describe (wildly different associations among audience members) is not limited to organ music. For example, it gets my hackles up when a radio station plays an intricate work of Baroque music, and then a somnolent announcer tells us that the station provides "tracks to relax". It goes to show that the meaning of music is very dependent on context.
I think it would be a shame if the organ were relegated only to the most "somber" religious venues. A hundred years ago, the culture of the organ was found in small spaces as well as grand, secular as well as sacred, and vulgar as well as refined. Perhaps with digital approximations of the pipe organ we can continue this multiplicity of venues for hearing organ music. I had my first experience of organ playing on a Conn theater organ (with one octave of pedals, drum machine, and banjo stop) in my grandmother's living room, but I fear today's young musicians and audiences do not have such humble introductions to the culture of the organ.
Thanks for the thought-provoking comment, Duncan! My first organ experience was also with a small electronic organ owned by my grandmother, which she gave to me as a child so I could learn to play. It would be nice to see more of these types of instruments (or even just small pipe organs) in smaller/more secular venues.

It is common knowledge that your car requires essential maintenance to continue running smoothly and efficiently. One of the most common forms of maintenance your car can need is an oil change, which is recommended every three months, or every 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. These types of services are best handled by a professional auto repair shop. Our Grapevine TX auto repair experts at Family Tire & Service can complete this repair service for you in an efficient manner, getting you back on the road in no time.
As routine as this service can be, many people are not aware as to why our vehicles require them. Over time, the oil in our cars will chemically break down, making it necessary to add new oil into your car to keep it running smoothly. As oil gets older, it loses its greasing tendency and can become harmful to your engine and transmission. This is why it is crucial that we replace the oil in our vehicles regularly, as a simple repair service can prevent a much larger problem.
To check the oil level in your vehicle, simply park on level ground and find the oil dipstick under your front hood. Allow the oil to settle for a minute or two, then pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean. After inserting and removing the dipstick again, you should be able to see your current oil levels on the end of the stick. If your oil reading looks lower than it should be, a professional oil change is necessary for your vehicle to maintain peak performance.
For additional information regarding an oil change in your area, contact our Grapevine TX auto repair experts at 817-488-5520 or contact us online.

What makes a cardigan stand out? Attention to detail, sumptuous knits, and of-the-moment colors, to name a few. This group of cardis has all that and more!
We call them Fall's Fabulous Four, but you'll call them your newest favorites.
Four cardis so perfect, you can't possibly choose just one. The Silk*Cotton, Merino Mix, Dream Cardigan, and EveryWear™ Cardigan. Each one with its own unique charm, in a kaleidoscope of color.
When the forecast calls for a cardi with real elegance, Silk*Cotton is just the thing. Delicate pleats shape the neckline and a velvet ribbon embellishes the button placket. Truly a three-season piece, it tops off everything from crops to jeans to dresses in a lightweight, silky-fine fabric.
Our new Merino Mix Cardigan is a fashion statement you'll want to make now and in seasons to come. The crescent-cutaway hem adds a little flair, and the luxe blend of Merino and acrylic is soft but so forgiving.
The Dream Cardigan earns its name. It drapes beautifully, with an oh-so-feminine sweep along the hem for a touch of dramatic movement. Sweater weather just got a lot more sophisticated!
The EveryWear™ Cardigan is just that – amazingly versatile and endlessly wearable. Go anywhere, do anything in easy-wear, easy-care fabric. A gently scooped neckline and button front make it an everyday wardrobe staple you'll turn to time and time again.
The best part? All our cardis and matching shells not only go great in sets, they mix perfectly with our entire vivid fall spectrum, so pick a color to match every mood!
See all our great styles at the Cardi Shop

Mitt Romney has turbo-charged his support for Big Oil by selecting Paul Ryan as his running mate. The House-passed Ryan budget would retain $40 billion in tax breaks over a decade for Big Oil while demanding huge cuts in the budget for innovation and clean energy. In addition, the Romney-Ryan budget would provide $2.3 billion in new tax breaks for the five largest oil companies. Here's a reprint of a 2011 post that ran after Ryan first introduced his radical plan.
House Budget Committee Chair Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) proposed fiscal year 2012 budget resolution [PDF] is a backward-looking plan that would benefit Big Oil companies at the expense of middle-class Americans. It retains $40 billion in Big Oil tax loopholes while completely eliminating investments in the clean energy technologies of the future that are essential for long-term economic growth.
This budget would lock Americans into paying high, volatile energy prices. It would ensure that millions of clean energy jobs are created overseas -- not here in the United States. It is a path backward to Bush-Cheney Big Oil energy policies that cost jobs and harm American competitiveness. In short, the Ryan plan ensures that we lose the high-stakes competition for the $2 trillion worldwide cleantech market.

Researchers have discovered a method for simultaneously visualizing gene number and protein expression in individual cells. The fluorescence microscopy technique could permit a detailed analysis of the relationship between gene status and expression of the corresponding protein in cells and tissues, and bring a clearer understanding of cancer and other complex diseases, according to researchers who led the study.
The new technique is called the fluorescent in situ gene protein assay. It combines traditional fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with the in situ proximity ligation assay, which is capable of resolving individual protein molecules.

BRADENTON -- As the school year ends and graduations begin, the state attorney's office is still investigating allegations that a Manatee High School administrator, who also is a well-known assistant football coach, had an inappropriate relationship with at least one female student.
The girl, now a senior, has left Manatee High and eventually became an online student -- because, her mother says, of the incidents. She is seeing a psychologist, struggling with her grades, and doesn't know if she'll receive a diploma.
Rod Frazier, a Manatee alum who has served as a parent liaison and coached the Hurricanes' running backs, is under investigation that he touched the girl inappropriately, sent her sexually explicit text messages and arranged after-school meetings in a nearby park. The teenager made the accusations in a letter delivered in January to Manatee High, addressed "To whom it may concern."
The case involves a football dynasty in a year when the team was working to repeat a state championship win, raising questions about whether allegations against an assistant coach went ignored to protect the team's morale.
But the case also appears based on much hearsay and rumors about a coach who was too friendly with female students. Text messages that might have been able to show the extent of a relationship between the coach and a student disappeared. The investigation includes former students who have been reluctant to testify and people who heard complaints about Frazier but didn't witness events.
In the meantime, spring football began without Fra
zier on the sidelines as he remains on paid administrative leave.
Frazier was questioned months before the girl's letter appeared. Manatee High Principal Don Sauer first raised questions last November after hearing rumors the assistant coach was too close to students. Frazier was suspended for a day, but was back on the football field the same week.
In January, the case was picked up by Bradenton police detectives after the girl delivered the letter. The district put Frazier on paid administrative leave in February, and detectives turned their case over to the State Attorney's Office in April.
Frazier's attorney, Edwin T. Mulock, said the case is based on rumors. He is waiting on the state attorney's office to decide whether it will go forward with charges.
"Right now I have some evidence I would like to present to the state attorney's office and I have not been able to do so yet," Mulock said last week. "The assistant state attorney has told me she will inform when she decides to take action so that I can present exculpatory evidence."
Steve Gulash, an assistant coach who shared an office with Frazier, agreed to discuss the case with the Bradenton Herald. The girl's mother also discussed the case at length with the Herald, who is not naming the family at this time. Both came forward with concerns and accusations against Frazier, and have been cooperating in the investigation.
Gulash said he and others at Manatee High have been concerned for some time about Frazier and how he behaved with students.
Gulash admits he never actually saw Frazier do anything illegal with a student, but said things occasionally looked "odd."
"If we believe a fellow member of our school is putting a student in danger, we immediately report it to administration. That's what we did," he told the Herald. "None of us saw anything sexual in nature. You saw over-friendliness, a little too close."
In one instance, Gulash said, a girl told him that Frazier sent her a friend request on Skype. Gulash told the student to report it to the principal, but he never followed up to see what happened.
Now, Gulash says, he feels like he is being watched for any misstep since he talked with investigators.
Gulash questions timing
When questions surfaced in November, Manatee's football team was undefeated, ranked No. 1 in three national polls and in the middle of the Class 7A playoffs.
During the second week of November, Sauer asked Steve Rinder, a counselor at the school, to find out whether anyone had heard rumblings about Frazier in connection with inappropriate relationships with students. Rinder approached Gulash, who then went to the principal with five specific incidents.
According to school policy, the district investigates any allegations that an employee has violated School Board Policy, the Code of Ethics and the Principles of Professional Conduct of the Education Profession in Florida, the State Board of Education Rule, or state or federal statute.
At that time, Debra Horne was the district's only investigator. She has since transferred to another position.
Gulash said the five incidents he reported included two he knew about personally: the girl who said Frazier tried to friend her on Skype and another rumor involving a former female student who had an inappropriate relationship with Frazier.
The other three incidents were from teachers, Gulash said, including a teacher who had seen the girl who wrote the letter sitting on Frazier's lap in his office, and a teacher who showed him text messages sent to the girl who wrote the letter. Gulash declined to name the other teachers. In both cases, he said he told the teachers to report the incidents to the principal.
When Gulash met with Horne, he asked about the scope of the investigation.
"'You're interviewing us, but did you talk to any of the kids?'" he recalled asking Horne. "She didn't say anything. The next day, it's closed out. It's done. There's no way in hell they could have talked to all those kids and closed out that investigation. And 24 hours later, he's back on campus? That's scary."
Frazier was suspended for one day during that week -- but returned to school the following day and coached the game Friday night.
Gulash said he told Manatee coach Joe Kinnan that he had been questioned about alleged improprieties involving Frazier and students. Gulash said Kinnan knew nothing about Frazier's behavior off the football field.
"He said, 'Steve, you tell the truth, you do what's right, and if you have any information, you need to tell them what has occurred. You have to do the right thing,'" said Gulash, who also played under Kinnan and was a member of Manatee's 1992 state championship team.
Still, Gulash said he believes Manatee High's administration didn't want the Frazier case to get in the way of the football team's attempt at winning state and national titles.
Gulash recalled telling Matt Kane, an assistant principal at Manatee High, that he told Horne about the rumors involving Frazier, including what he saw as Frazier being "overfriendly" with students.
"I said, I told the truth in there, just so you're aware of it,'" Gulash recalled telling Kane, the day Frazier returned to work. "And he said, 'Well, that's fine, but we just need to get this cleared up and resolved because we've got a game tomorrow night.' "
When contacted by the Herald, Kane and Horne declined to comment on the case, which is still under investigation.
The investigation
The girl's mother dropped off the three-page letter from her daughter dated Jan. 9, 2013, at Manatee High. In that letter, the teenager gave explicit details of her contact with Frazier, saying she met him two years earlier during her sophomore year when she was sent to his office for not having her school identification during lunch.
Parent liaisons supervise behavior in the school hallways and cafeteria, handle routine discipline referrals and refer serious offenses to the assistant principal. Their duties also include monitoring student attendance, contacting parents as needed, and supervising students during the arrival and departures of buses.
When Bradenton police launched their investigation, the girl's mother said the police came to see her and asked why she had not gone to them directly.
"Because I have no proof. I have absolutely no proof," the mother said she told police. "This is my daughter's word against Frazier's word."
The Bradenton Police Department completed its investigation into the accusations against Frazier after interviewing more than 50 people. It was forwarded in April to the State Attorney's office, which will decide whether to file any charges.
"They are still actively investigating it," Bradenton Police Chief Michael Radzilowski said. "The time the state attorney's office is taking is perfectly normal. They want to make sure every 'i' is dotted and every 't' is crossed.
"We don't want to press them," the chief added. "Let them decide what they need to decide."
Assistant State Attorney Dawn Buff is overseeing the case for the state attorney's office but would not comment on the allegations because it is an open investigation.
"If law enforcement hands over a case, we review it," Buff said. "We may talk to additional witnesses, the same witnesses they have talked to, review documentation, listen to tapes."
The accusations
In her letter delivered to Manatee High, Frazier's accuser said that at first Frazier was very nice to her and never acted "weird or strange," and that she trusted him -- even after a classmate, another sophomore, told her that Frazier had asked her for a photo.
"I actually met a girl my sophomore year in gym class who was a senior and she told me and showed me a picture of her naked that she sent Frazier because he asked for it," the girl wrote in her letter to school officials.
According to the girl's letter, Frazier got her cell phone number when she was a sophomore from one of Manatee High's football players and he began texting her during and after school.
After that the girl began spending more time in Frazier's office. When she broke school rules, Frazier did not call her parents or report her to the assistant principal.
"He would tell me I owed him for keeping me out of trouble while looking down at his pants, laughing and giggling," she wrote. "He would text me to tell me he loves me and misses me. He would even tell me to send naked pictures of myself, which I never did."
The girl also said Frazier touched her in inappropriate ways.
"When we were in his office, he would give me a hug," she wrote, "rub his hand on my upper leg, grab my thigh and butt."
Still the girl said she trusted him and didn't tell her parents anything. But by then, her mother said she began to question her daughter's slipping grades, her absences from class and why she was in Frazier's office so often.
The girl and Frazier apparently met a few times after school during her junior year at Sutton Park, which is near the girl's home.
"One time I met him at the park," she wrote, "when we were leaving he asked for a hug and reached over a(nd) picked me up by my behind. It was very awkward for me but I didn't say anything to him because I didn't know what to say."
It was at that point the girl said she was no longer comfortable around Frazier.
"Whatever happened that night, the realization hit her that he wanted a lot more than just buddy, buddy," her mother said. The teenager stopped meeting him for lunch and at the park, and no longer exchanged text messages with him, she said.
The girl said in her letter that's when her troubles in school began.
"He started getting me in trouble and writing me referrals for things I had never got in trouble for," she wrote, "such as my shorts, leaving campus during lunch, being out of order, the stupidest things."
Over that summer, between her junior and senior year, months before she wrote the letter, the girl's parents transferred her to Palmetto High School. By then, the teenager's grades had dropped, she had become secretive and withdrawn and stopped playing sports, her mother said.
Reports of bullying
Since the letter became public, the girl said she has been the target of harassment and bullying. Her mother said she left Palmetto High and is taking classes at home because rumors followed her from Manatee High.
She contends she has been harassed on her Facebook page. Gulash found out that students were reportedly bullying the girl on Facebook and called the family about it.
Once he confirmed with the family that she believed she was being bullied, he called a detective at the Bradenton Police Department to ask how to handle it. The detective told him to take screen shots of the conversations.
Gulash went to the girl's house and got the screen shots and emailed them to his work account. He said he intended to tell Sauer, his supervisor, about the bullying, but Sauer wasn't at school yet. He forwarded his emails to the police. In the meantime, the girl's parents went to the Palmetto police with the bullying accusations and told them about Gulash's role.
Sauer asked Gulash what was going on. Gulash admitted that he had gone to the police without first notifying Sauer. The principal reported what had happened to the district, and a district official met with Gulash.
Gulash said the meeting was a reprimand, although an official reprimand does not appear in his personnel file. District officials say they met with him to discuss the chain of command and protocol in cases involving students. Sauer did not return calls for comment.
The district has since hired Carol Springer Investigations to examine how the matter was handled. Her report is slated to be released this week. The Palmetto Police Department, which had jurisdiction in the case, determined there was nothing criminal about the Facebook exchanges and no action was taken.
Frazier's history
Frazier, a University of Florida graduate with a degree in sociology, worked at the Manatee Regional Juvenile Detention Center before taking a job at Manatee High School.
He took a job with the Department of Juvenile Justice in October 2001, where he scored well on evaluations and had been promoted to a shift supervisor.
Frazier resigned from the job in August 2006, citing family issues.
"Due to the needs of my family it is no longer in my best interest to continue my employment with the facility," Frazier wrote in his resignation letter.
At home, Frazier was experiencing trouble, records show. In 2007, his wife filed protection orders against him twice.
In her filing, Frazier's wife claimed he said inappropriate things to his children and had begun drinking excessively and occasionally abusing drugs.
"I believe my husband is severely depressed, as he cries on a daily basis. He states that he wishes he were dead, and that no one loves him," Janet Frazier wrote.
The couple was in financial trouble with two mortgages and credit cards bills stacking up, according to records filed with the clerk of court.
"On another occasion approximately 6 weeks ago I had to call 911 because he swallowed about seven ambien," Janet Frazier wrote in 2007. "On another night a week before this I left our home because we continued to argue. About an hour later his friend called to tell me he had swallowed several ambiens and he was incoherent. This was done while he was home alone with our 4-year-old and 2-year-old children."
In one report, Janet Frazier stated that her husband also admitted that he had used cocaine.
According to court records, the two are separated but have not divorced.

Even with a program, it's hard to tell the players in Amherst's tricky Town Board races this year.
On the surface, party labels might suggest Democrats support Democrats and Republicans are working for their own.
But since the the arrival of Supervisor Satish Mohan two years ago, the political cross currents are running strong.
* Council Member Bill Kindel, a veteran six-term Republican, is challenging his party in the primary election, saying his values "are in direct conflict" with [fellow Republican] Mohan. Kindel also talked about becoming a Democrat and courted Democratic County Elections Commissioner and Amherst Town Democratic Chairman Dennis Ward, brother of Amherst Council Member Dan Ward.
The party switch didn't happen, but indications are that Kindel and the Democrats would be comfortable if he wins one of the three open seats on the board.
* Mohan, who complains that he needs a board that will help enact his agenda, backs two of the endorsed Republican candidates, but has decided to support a newcomer, nursing home
administrator Mark Klyczek instead of a third party candidate, Guy R. Marlette.
And, this week, Amherst Republicans released a letter to the press accusing Mohan of violating campaign financing rules.
What's going on?
According to Mohan, both Democrats and Republicans are now opposing him.

Cutoff wall to prevent erosion at Wolf Creek
Project unrelated to repairs on dam
by Bill Mardis
Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
Construction of a cutoff wall is under way to prevent erosion from undermining the electrical switchyard near the base of Wolf Creek Dam.
Don B. Getty, manager of the Wolf Creek Dam Rehabilitation Project, said the contract with Treviicos-Soletanche JV, general contractor for the rehabilitation project, has been modified to include the cutoff wall work.
This project is actually an extension of the cutoff wall installed during the 1970s when serious leaks developed in the dam during the late 1960s. Two large sinkholes developed in the switchyard area and muddy water was observed in the tailrace.
Many believe the condition of Wolf Creek Dam during the late 1960s was more serious than in 2005 when the dam was declared in high risk of failure. Intensive grouting slowed the seepage, and a cutoff wall, not long enough and not deep enough, was installed during the 1970s. A just-completed, $594 million rehabilitation of the dam is believed to be a permanent fix for the uncontrolled seepage problem.
The new section of cutoff wall will be 180 feet long and constructed by drilling 50-inch overlapping holes, same as the 4,000-foot-long permanent concrete barrier wall was inserted in the dam during the past six years. The cutoff wall near the switchyard won't be as deep as the 275-foot-deep wall in the dam, Getty noted.
Engineers believe there is a connection between fluctuation of tailwaters and undermining the switchyard area, Getty said. "This extended cutoff wall near the switchyard has absolutely nothing to do with the lake," Getty emphasized.
The second barrier wall in the earthen section of the dam was completed in March and the lake was allowed to rise 20 feet above the target operational level during the six-year rehabilitation of the dam. The lake, pending another safety review, is scheduled to return to historical operation next year.
Getty said current work on the cutoff wall is near the powerhouse and is not affecting fishing immediately below the dam. Efforts by the Corps of Engineers earlier this year to ban fishing within 500 feet of Wolf Creek and other Corps-operated dams created a brouhaha that reached the halls of Congress. Eventually the U.S. House and Senate placed a two-year moratorium on the Corps' plans to keep fishing boats in the tailwaters from getting close to the dam.
"That still doesn't mean it's not dangerous to get up close to the dam," said Getty. However, he indicated construction of the cutoff wall extension is not likely to interfere with fishing in what would have been a restricted area.

Wort double sends Sholing through to last 16 of FA Vase
Updated 11:36pm Tuesday 21st January 2014 in Sport By Peter Howard, Sports Reporter
Sholing are through to the fifth round of FA Vase after beating Essex side Hullbridge Sports 3-1 at the Silverlake Arena tonight.
The Boatmen, who are now the only Sydenhams Premier Division side left in the competition after Blackfield & Langley and Alresford lost their respective matches, cruised to victory - never looking out of their comfort zone against youthful opposition.
It was men against boys from the off, as Lee Wort's brace put Dave Diaper's Wessex high fliers 2-1 up at the break before Byron Mason's effort sealed the win to set up a tie with Blackfield's conquerors, Larkhall Athletic, in the last 16. Rob Hodgson scored for the away side.
The game set off at blistering pace with the Boatmen looking much sharper than Hullbridge, who hadn't played in six weeks.
Mike Carter and Marvin McLean whipped dangerous crosses into the box that Sports were finding difficult to clear, struggling to cope with the pace that the Boatmen had set. On ten minutes Sholing had the ball in the net as Ashley Jarvis connected with Marc Diaper's ball into the area.
The forward slotted home with aplomb but was flagged for offside. That set the tone for the attacker who had a frustrating game.
On 15 minutes, though, Sholing took the lead through Wort. McLean picked the ball up on the left flank and, with a shuffle, he lost his marker. He then beat a second man with a dummy creating space to run.
The tricky winger took the ball deep into the box and squared. Jarvis failed to connect but Wort was waiting to pounce at the back post, rifling the ball into the roof of the net as he slid in unmarked.
Hullbridge had barely been in the tie when they equalised. Finally linking up a couple of passes, the ball was swung heavily to the back post from the left.
Matt Brown in the Sholing net screamed "'keeper's!!" but completely misjudged allowing Hodgson to loop a header into an empty net.
Frustrated by the mistake, Sholing were temporarily paralysed allowing Sports to move the ball around and attempt to take the lead.
That, however, was shortlived as Wort again fired the Silverlake Arena side ahead.
This time Barry Mason chipped him through. He travelled to the edge of the box unchallenged, thrashing home from 10 yards with his right foot – top right.
The Sholing frontman was in buoyant form and should have completed his hat-trick on several occasions.
Jarvis, first, knocked to him with time and space in the box but his shot sailed well wide.
A great touch set him up another effort but he was denied again as stopper Bobby Mason pulled of a reaction save.
Sholing took a narrow lead into the break and it was widely expected that the Essex side would come out battling.
Instead, the Boatmen continued to dominate and were further ahead on the hour as Byron Mason lashed in as he found time and space in the box after the ball came loose from a melee.
Wort was searching hard for his hat-trick but it never came as he shot over from 18 yards and missed an inviting one-on-one after coming off the right wing, chipping well wide.
"Lee could have five or six tonight," said Diaper. "He was creating chances for himself and others, but it just didn't come in the end.
"They were a hard-working bunch of lads. They'd be a mid-table team in the Wessex and they came here not really knowing what we're about and we were too much for them.
"The lads were really good, I was very frustrated to concede the goal and we should have scored more, but the important thing is we got the result and we're through to the next round."

The retailer began accepting applications during the last week of July.
Officials say the store plans to hire about 200 employees, with about half of the positions being full time.
Wages begin at $11 for starting cashiers and benefits will be available after six months.
No applications are taken on-site, but applications can be found online at costco.com by searching for the term "jobs," scrolling down to "Warehouses, Depots and Other Businesses," and clicking the first link.
Despite the disproportionate amount of applicants to available positions, Cobb said he hasn't heard any negative feedback on the project.
"The process can be a little complex, but everything I've heard has been positive," Cobb said.
Cobb has said he hopes the retailer will have a "snowball" effect, drawing other large retailers to the area.
