I wish RIM would just release the BlackBerry PlayBook. BGR has sources stating the BlackBerry PlayBook will be on sale April 10th. What is shocking is the PlayBook may require a software update out of box. The issue is the OS for the PlayBook goes gold master on March 31, only 10 days prior to the rumored release date. Personally, I don't need another commercial or promotional spot, I want a retail location I can go and purchase one of these devices.
The leak comes on the day Apple is preparing to gobble up the news cycle with the iPad 2 announcements. Hopefully the PlayBook is not lost in the Apple hype cycle.

Distionary.com defines 'heirloom' as:
heir·loom /ˈɛərËŒlum/ Pronunciation Key – Show Spelled Pronunciation[air-loom]
|a family possession handed down from generation to generation.
A crochet heirloom is pictured above.
That got me to thinking about crochet and our heritage. Do you have any crochet items made by your predecessors – mom, grandma, auntie? I have only one. It's a small doll sweater crocheted by my mother's mother for my mom when mom was about 5 years old. To my knowledge, my mamaw had no interest in anything domestic. I never saw her sew or crochet or knit. Of course, she cooked every day and kept her huge kitchen garden in her small town in rural Arkansas. She LOVED being outside. The summers I spent there were filled with fishing, picking berries, swimming in the 'hole', visiting neighbors, and eating her exquisitely delicious fried pies made with peach peels leftover from making peach pies. No crochet! So, I cherish even more this single item I have inherited from her. My mom is 84 and I am 58. My mamaw has been gone since 1985. The little doll sweater is a soft pink, moth eaten, and attractive to no one but me!
My mother remembered mamaw participating in quilting bees in my mom's youth. I have some precious quilts composed of fabrics that my mother can readily identify as having come from her brother's shirt, her sister's apron, her grandfather's tie, etc. Some of the patches are signed by women I knew as ancient 'relics' – probably the age I am now – when I was a child.
So, I take these messages, few as they are from my own family, and try to assure that my children and other family members have heirlooms from my hands. I have crocheted an afghan for each of my three kids. I routinely crochet baby afghans for all suitable occasions, but especially for my two cherished grandnephews who are now 4 and 6. Since I have no grandchildren as yet, Dominic and Nicholas are my crochet beneficiaries. I just completed a tiny poncho for the 1 year old daughter of my husband's secretary. My friends and their children now receive baby afghans for each grandchild and something crocheted as a token gift for each birthday. Maybe some day, these will become heirlooms, valued by their owners as the love tokens they are.
So, go make an heirloom!

My grandmother had crocheted my mother and each of the granddaughters a sunburst centerpiece doily. Over the years and many moves, my sister lost hers. While it could never totally replace the one Grandma made. I reproduced that doily for her. The look of gratitude and joy when I gave it to her was awesome.

My husband has an afghan his grandma made, one his mom made, and I'm making one for him. He says they are very special to him and he thinks of the person who made it while he snuggles in them. For some reason, crochet and family go together. Something about making it yourself or home made. We need connections across generations and across distances. I agree, go make an heirloom!

I'm so moved by your brief story! How sweet and thoughtful of you to reproduce that cherished doily for your daughter. It'll always be a memory of both you and her grandmother.

I agree that crochet and friend go hand in hand, across the generations of families and distance. How well stated! I have a few things, few crocheted however, that I cherish from my grandmother and aunts. Your husband is very special to have three afghans made just for him!

I loved your story! I guess I am very lucky. My mom and her mother were both avid crocheters. I have a huge pile of their doilies that I inherited after each passed on. I would give anything if I could spend an afternoon with a good cup of coffee spent crocheting doilies with my mom and gramma! Thanks for the smile. Your "crochet beneficiaries" are lucky indeed!

I never knew my gradparents, my family moved away from them before I was born. I have this big hole in my life. my mother was a advid crocheter. She taught me to crochet when I was about 8yrs. I have lots of her (and my)stuff. I don't crochet much now but I do weave and have a trunk full of weaving for my kids and grandkids probably enough for the greats, also. I have a wooden trunk my great great grandfather made in 1859, which is my pride and joy. All my heirlooms are in it. "In case of fire.. grab that first!!"

Best Fan Series?
There are quite few fan series out now being produced by some very talented trek fans, in your opinion which do you think is the best?
I may have missed out a couple of fan series which you know of, if so tell me and I will add it to the poll.
New Voyages (Recreation of the TOS, the stories continue from where the series left off in the 60's)
Hidden Frontier (Done on a green screen, set in the 24th century)
Farragot (Set on a constitution class ship in the 23rd century)
Star Track (Comedy fan series, set in the USS Idaho)
I like New Voyages, but I think I like Starship Exeter a little more. It has a real original series feel to it, especially in the episode "The Tressaurian Intersection", and a good cast. I also like Starship Farragut, Star Trek Intrepid, and there's a couple of good computer generated series-Borg War and Aurora Trek.
Yeah, I'm always looking for new fan series to watch, some are really enjoyable, especially considering they're doing it out of love for the franchise and not getting any of the cash that the studios have to make episodes. BorgWar is more of a movie than a series, but it runs close to an hour and a half and is pretty good. There's another computer generated one called Star Trek-The Way Back which has some good graphics and alot of the characters from the various series, but on the 2 episodes I've downloaded the actors who are doing the voices are really way off, but it's still got potential.
Hidden Frontier, gotta go with them.
Only seen New Voyages and Hidden Frontier.
New Voyages is alright
but IMHO... Hidden Frontier is awful.
I've only seen the NV stuff, though I like reading the fan series scripts that are available through Virtual Star Trek.
Actually, my favorite "fan series" wasn't in the visual media...it was the "Kraith" series of fanfics written back in the 1970s...
There was an Andorian series of fanfics as well, much of which seems to have influenced the way the Andorians were presented in the Enterprise series...
And for those that don't know, info on the Kraith series.. IRC, I think one of the Kraith writers went on to write profic 'Trek novel-- or a novel.
I've never seen anything but Star Trek: New Voyages, so I have to stick with that.

River Edge voters will see a third referendum question on their ballot as well - should the borough establish a municipal trust fund for recreation and conservation? The Open Space Trust Fund was voted down last November 1,136 to 1,013 after a portion of the funding had been used for the two prior years to cover the salary and wages of three DPW workers who oversee the maintenace of the parks.
There are 5,784 registered voters in Oradell and 7,001 in River Edge. During the last presidential election, Oradell was split 2,245 to 2,491 between Obama supporters and John McCain's. River Edge was likewise a mixed bag with 2,965 voting for Obama and 2,577 in favor of McCain.

How to Floss Your Teeth
You might know the advantages of flossing your teeth, but are your oral hygiene habits actually providing those benefits? Just as your dentist might recommend specific tooth-brushing techniques, he may also advise certain flossing methods to maximize your dental wellbeing. Key to flossing properly is reaching below the gum line in order to remove food debris and bacteria. Flossing under the gums strengthens the gums and makes them more resilient. Moving along the length of your floss is also important; since used floss harbors bacteria, you should avoid using the same section of floss across multiple teeth. By working your floss between your teeth and under the gums, you can rid your mouth of the contaminants that cause plaque and tartar.
Berkshire Family Dental offers comprehensive oral health services for patients in the greater Washington, D.C. area. Our team of dentists and assistants can look after all your dental needs. We provide cleanings, root canal surgery, dental implants, and teeth whitening services. Call (202) 683-8378 to schedule an appointment.

Ex-Mayor Bloomberg Brings 10 Cities Together to Fight Pollution
Mayors from across the country are targeting the nation's largest source of pollution: buildings.
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has brought together the mayors of 10 U.S. cities to help reduce pollution.
Barely three weeks out of office, and Hizzoner's already back in the headlines.
Ex-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who left office after a 12-year stint Dec. 31, is bringing together mayors from 10 cities to announce new efforts to cut pollution.
"Cities will look to the largest single source of climate pollution in the U.S. to achieve these goals: buildings," a statement released Thursday by the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Institute for Market Transformation reads.

Overheard: Clean Up Shop
Bikini season may be nearing its final sunset, but fall's body-conscious silhouette (the minidress! the sculpted corset!) was the perfect mirror of motivation for me to try out the Clean Program, a 21-day detox touted by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Donna Karan. Admittedly, three weeks is a long time to forgo my "necessities" of coffee, wine, bread, etc., but unlike the liquid-only diet craze of late, Clean was created by Alejandro Junger M.D., an integrative-medicine specialist who actually encourages eating on the program. Each day consists of three rounds of vitamins, two meal-replacement shakes, and a lunch from the Elimination Diet List (think coconut milk, wild salmon, and brown rice). Done properly, compliments on your glowing skin and svelte figure are just frosting on the cake; your body's natural healing abilities will be restored, insulin levels regulated, and your liver detoxified. Some advice: Twist up the creativity on your meals. Julienned cucumbers taste much more decadent with a bit of black truffle olive oil, for example. Some agave nectar adds just the right amount of sweetness to the mango-flavored, creamy shakes. And while I sidestepped many of my vices to make this program work, I slipped up a few times (including surreptitious spoonfuls of the Waverly Inn's Bananas Foster and a meatball slider from The Little Owl). If your psychological dexterity is anything like mine and fails to deliver heaping amounts of discipline, just cut yourself a break and move forward. Your body will thank you and, really, you know the white Bordeaux will still be there at the finish line. $350, cleanprogram.com.

FCA Board Adopts Direct Final Rule to Permit Greater Flexibility in Scheduling Board Meetings
McLEAN, Va., August 13, 2009 — The Farm Credit Administration (FCA) Board today adopted a direct final rule to provide greater flexibility in the scheduling of Board meetings.
Currently, FCA regulations provide that the FCA Board must hold its regularly scheduled meetings on the second Thursday of each month. However, since matters sometimes arise that require Board attention between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board needs more flexibility in scheduling when it meets.
The direct final rule amends the regulation to state that the Board will meet in FCA offices on the second Thursday of each month unless the Board fixes a different time and/or place. The time and place of the new meeting must be announced publicly at least one week before the meeting, unless a majority of the Board determines by a recorded vote that agency business requires that a meeting be called on lesser notice.
The amended rule, which is consistent with the scheduling requirement in the Government in Sunshine Act, gives the Board the flexibility it needs in scheduling meetings.
This rule is issued as a direct final rule without notice and comment because it involves an issue of agency procedure. FCA will publish a notice of effective date in the Federal Register following the required congressional waiting period.
Quarterly Report of the Office of Management Services
In other business, the Board received a quarterly report by the Office of Management Services (OMS). The report discussed the agency's budget status through June 30, 2009; provided an update on the FCA Information Resources Plan; and reviewed the agency's Loan Database project. Management also provided an overview of OMS operations, including audit reports and staffing changes within OMS.
Notational Votes
Since the FCA Board meeting on July 9, four notational votes have occurred. Notational votes are actions taken by the FCA Board between Board meetings.
On July 22, the FCA Board determined that it would not object to the issuance by CoBank, ACB, of up to $300 million of Series D noncumulative perpetual preferred stock in exchange for an equivalent amount of outstanding Series A cumulative preferred stock.
On July 22, the FCA Board approved the plan and related disclosure of the Federal Land Bank Association of North Alabama, FLCA, to obtain equalization in 2010 of loan-making powers within its chartered territory in accordance with recent statutory revisions. The Board also approved the chartering of Alabama Farm Credit, PCA, and granted preliminary approval for the consolidation of the North Alabama FLCA with Alabama Farm Credit, PCA, to form Alabama Farm Credit, ACA.

Brown began his coaching career at Severn School in 1931 before becoming the head football coach at Massillon Washington High School in Massillon, Ohio, where he grew up. His high school teams lost only 10 games in 11 seasons. He was then hired at Ohio State University and coached the school to its first national football championship in 1942. After World War II, he became head coach of the Browns, who won four AAFC championships before joining the NFL in 1950. Brown coached the Browns to three NFL championships – in 1950, 1954 and 1955 – but was fired in January 1963 amid a power struggle with team owner Art Modell. Brown in 1968 co-founded and was the first coach of the Bengals. He retired from coaching in 1975 but remained the Bengals' team president until his death in 1991.

Age: 63.
Occupation: Attorney, law professor.
Lived the last 50 years in: Barberton and Norton.
Heritage: White.
Dr. King's message: Martin Luther King said that he was a drum major for justice. He was talking about racial justice.
Accomplished: I think he would be thrilled to see President Obama in the White House and people of color in all levels of government.
Still to be done: If he walked the streets of our major cities, he would be saddened to find hungry children, high infant mortality, lack of preschools and low college graduation rates especially for young black males. People of color also continue to live in poverty in far greater numbers than whites. Public schools have been destroyed by voucher and charter schools and, while Waiting for Superman portrays otherwise, it is poor communities that have been especially hit.
Discrimination in the justice system starts at arrest and continues throughout the process. This basically can be attributed to the discretion officers and courts have at each step in the process.
A couple hours of diversity training isn't the answer to discrimination in the workplace and on the streets. We have to create safe space where people are willing and able to report racial discrimination and know that the issue will be dealt with openly and fairly. ... Discussions about race-related issues must be incorporated into education daily, not talked about once a year. We don't need a Black History Month or Women's History Month. We need black history and women's history.

Maybe it's just because I live in Los Angeles, but I think we can all agree (or at least should all agree) that "Tours to Stars Homes" or "Maps to Stars Homes" are pretty lame. Unless my tour includes a stop at Mel Gibson's Jacuzzi (as a receiver) I'm just not interested. I know some people don't mind shelling out $25 to ride around in a crowded van to take pictures of Tom Cruise's bushes—but not me. For $25, we should be able to sit at the edge of his bed while he gives it to Katie Holmes, and I should get some sort of snack for the ride back.
When I am doing something at the Playboy Mansion (my radio show, casual stalking, etc.) I am almost always run over by some "Star Home Tours" short-bus carrying snap-happy tourists who practically capsize the thing when the driver says "and this is the world famous Playboy Mansion." Don't get me wrong, I understand what all the excitement is about with Hef's house, but isn't it just a waste of gas to swing by Cuba Gooding Jr.'s house (er, well, apartment) for a look-see?
If Kramer could launch a reality tour of J. Peterman on Seinfeld, and if any half-wit with a learner's permit can pack tourists into Ozzy Ozbourne's driveway for $50 a pop, why can't I create a tour that would actually be worth the price of admission? So, if I inherit a van from some creepy uncle I've never met, here are three "tours" that I would operate:
1. Hot Woman Hangouts: This tour would take you to all of the places that really, really beautiful women hang out, and guys like us usually avoid. It would start at a Whole Foods salad bar, and then stop by various frozen yogurt and cupcake stands before ending at a yoga class. This tour would cost $5, and would include your choice of either a cupcake or a pair of very, very dark sunglasses.
2. Girls You've Slept With: Just like A Christmas Carol—but instead of ghosts taking you to different parts of your life, our van will. Looking at your former conquests online may seem like an easier option, but Facebook can be so misleading. Our Girls You've Slept With Tour will take you to check up on everyone, from your former high-school sweetheart to the secretary you banged at your first job's holiday party. Find out who let themselves go and who is worth randomly "bumping into" again. This tour would cost $20 for up to five girls, and additional mileage charges may apply.
3. Watch Strangers Have Sex in Public: (No, it's not wrong, because they want to be seen.) Let's face it, there is a little voyeur inside of us all. Why not satisfy that without risking a visit from the fuzz because your lawsuit-happy neighbor just happens to have a sexy European mistress who never learned the word "bra"? Exactly. This tour would visit popular places that people cross off their fuck-it lists. Beginning at the beach at sundown, this tour would then travel to various parking structures, hotel balconies and nightclub bathrooms before returning to the beach for the post bar "let's do something crazy" crowd. This tour would be free as long as you chip in for gas.
So, there you have it: For less than the price of a Star Map you can find some "LA 10s" in their natural habitat, check in on that sorority girl you took to your formal five years ago and watch strangers gyrate as they avoid getting sand in each other. It sure seems like a better way to spend an afternoon than watching one of Jon Travolta's servants bring his trash to the curb.

Manassas residents will have an opportunity tonight to opine on the city's fiscal year 2013 budget and capital improvement plan, during a public hearing that begins at 7:30 p.m. in .
which begins July 1 and increases by more than $16 million over last year's budget, before council opens it for public opinion.
The total FY 2013 budget recommended by council totals $320,627,368, an increase of 5 percent over last year. The sewer utility fund, electric utility fund and schools, which are seeing $5 million in additional funding from state and city revenue, are big players in the increase, according to a report presented last week by Council Member Marc Aveni.
Residents will see a 2 percent increase in electric rates and a 5 percent increase in solid waste fees. Aveni said the original increases were much larger but the utility commission tapped into a Rate Stabilization Fund to keep the increase lower. Aveni said sewer rates continue to cost more because the city must comply with the requirements of the Sewer Authority and Chesapeake Bay, where the city sends its waste water.
Still, the city's sewer and electric rates are much more competitive than surrounding jurisdictions, Aveni said.
School funds under the FY 2013 recommended council budget total nearly $99 million, an increase of 5.3 percent over last year's funding. The increase of $5 million pays for the school's capital improvement plan, which includes money for new school buses and classroom trailers to deal with an increase in student enrollment; maintenance at existing schools; and $3 million for a new central administrative office.
The remainder of the council's budget provides funding to support their strategic plan, which focuses on the following:
- Postive Growth and economic development
- Public safety
- Neighborhood preservation and community engagement
- Government stewardship and effectiveness
The city council is on track to pass the in May, which will result in a zero percent increase in the average tax bill, according to the recent report.
Real estate assessments were up in January, giving the city a little bit more money to deal with, Aveni said.
As a result, the average real estate tax rate will decrease from $1.395 in 2012 to $1.366 in FY 2013 under the council's proposed budget. This will allow the city to maintain a 13 percent fund balance, increase the fire and rescue levy by half a cent to fund the new fleet plan and use no one-time sources of funding for operating expenditures, according to budget documents.
The average residential bill will go up by about $12 for a total average real estate tax bill of $2,934, and the average commercial tax bill will decrease by about $103 for a total average bill of $16,041, or a 0.6 percent decrease under the proposed budget.
The proposed budget if passed will also carry a nearly $9 million capital program plan to include over a $2 million for street paving and new vehicles for the city. The plan will also include $6 million for the city's Capital Improvement Plan, which includes money for undergrounding power lines, adding playground to schools and parks, Battle Street flooding design work, new sidewalks and an airport runway extension, among other things.
The budget will also continue to fund a Gang Task Force Officer and Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Officer. . New positions being proposed include a full-time communications coordinator, museums programs coordinator, human resources manager and Family Services fraud specialist, among others.
The proposed employee compensation package includesthat's costing the city $248,000.
The public is encouraged to attend tonight's hearing on the council's proposed FY 2013 Annual Operating Budget and Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan, which includes additional expenditures to shared services with neighboring jurisdictions and local nonprofits. View the entire FY 2013 city council proposed budget
The buget public hearing will be followed by a hearing on the proposed effective real property rax rate.

The Valdosta Daily Times

As an informed citizen it is absolutely clear that the city is in dire need of a new waste water treatment plant, which is part of the SPLOST proposal. So, tell me again how you expect to pay the million dollars for the plant to keep our rivers and yards sewage free. It is either SPLOST or increase taxes or fees for water & sewer. Well, I choose SPLOST any day of the week.
How many kids have to be hit by a car on the way to school to get sidewalks and bike paths in this town? Without paths and sidewalks we have to drive everywhere. More cars on the road makes more need for roads and road repair and less money for bike paths and sidewalks. But that circular logic still puts our kids in danger on their way to school.
For the comment about the Brooks County band. Apparently you have not been to our games. So we invite you to see us Friday night at Veterans Stadium. The Empire of Sound rocks. It is sad you have nothing better to do then try and discourage our kids. Our new band directors rock. Go, Empire of Sound!
To the couple at Chili's: your behavior over a steak that was not right gave me a chance to teach my child a life lesson on how not to act. The server and management tried to fix it for you. You just wanted something for free. God will bless your server. She is the one who took the time to try to help and I bet you didn't even tip her! I didn't get her name but in a world of poor customer service she is a rare find! To all servers, thank you!
Absolute great timing on fixing Williams Street next to the Wildcat Stadium. The City Engineering Department couldn't have planned this better if they had tried. I bet I know when it will be completed. Right after the last home game is played! No parking needed then. Thanks.
I'm a huge Vikings football fan, but Friday night's game was something that I am even embarrassed about. It was clearly evident that we were going to beat Windsor Forest, but my team just kept on scoring. Please have somebody with some guts tell me why this had to happen. If I were the other team's coach, I would be highly upset about my opponent taking out their frustrations on my team. Not cool at all.
You are trespassing walking across neighbor's yards. You may be next door, but it is not your property. Don't feel free to walk up when you so desire, either. Privacy is the key to a good neighbor.

Educating Children a Primary Goal of White House Garden
In talking with reporters about the new garden, the first lady got down and dirty about the benefits of good nutrition and the need to educate children, families and whole communities about the importance of a healthful diet, especially at a time when obesity and diabetes have become national health crises.
Twenty-three fifth graders from Bancroft Elementary School in Washington, DC, helped the first lady dig up the 1,100-square-foot garden plot on the south lawn of the White House, which is near the tennis courts and the swing set the Obamas installed for their daughters and can be seen by people passing by on E Street. The plan is to have the students stay involved in planting, tending, harvesting and cooking the presidential produce.
White House Garden to Feed First Family and the Homeless
The Obamas will grow dozens of varieties of vegetables, berries and herbs—a wish list of fresh produce prepared by the White House kitchen staff—and the first lady said that everyone in the first family will help care for the garden. The garden harvest will become part of the Obamas' daily fare, contribute to state dinners, and be shared with Miriam's Kitchen, a nearby soup kitchen for the homeless.
The organic vegetable garden will use only natural fertilizers and pest control methods. Two beehives will be installed and tended by a member of the White House staff. The bees will help pollinate the garden and provide honey for the president's table.
Obamas' White House Garden Part of a Long Tradition
Planting an organic vegetable garden at the White House is a potent symbol, but it is not a new idea. Gardening and agriculture have been part of the White House culture at many times throughout its history.
Eleanor Roosevelt planted a victory garden on the White House lawn in 1943, inspiring millions of Americans to start their own backyard gardens during World War II. President John Adams, a farmer as well as a lawyer, planted a garden soon after taking office and tended it carefully throughout his presidency. Thomas Jefferson grazed cattle on the White House lawn, Woodrow Wilson kept sheep, and some histories claim that George Washington refused a third term as president in part because he missed his garden at Mount Vernon.
White House Garden Intended to Inspire Americans
Planting an organic vegetable garden at the White House in the midst of a serious recession, and at a time when Americans are increasingly concerned about the environment, sends a powerful message of health, sustainability and self-reliance. The first lady encouraged all Americans to take that message to heart, even if they are unable to plant a garden and grow their own vegetables.
"You can begin in your own cupboard," she told the New York Times, "by eliminating processed food, trying to cook a meal a little more often, trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables."

That saucy minx and current reigning Queen of Burlesque, Imogen Kelly, is back in Melbourne after her recent Midsumma show, Bent Burlesque, but this time she's going solo. Herstory is like a raunchy TARDIS trip, as Imogen visits famous women throughout time. From Elizabeth I (let's wait and see her burlesque treatment of this 'Virgin Queen') and Marie Antoinette to more recent glamourpusses Marlene Dietrich and Princess Diana, no one is safe. There'll be stories, dance, even puppetry and short films, but rest assured, you'll never regard these famous women the same way again. Oh, and you get a late night supper as well. Perfect.

Times West Virginian
North Marion had the toughest schedule in the county within the first three weeks of the high school football season.
The Huskies squared off against the likes of Frankfort, Fairmont Senior and Bridgeport, with the latter two teams being ranked among the best in the state in AA play.
Unfortunately, the Huskies are coming into Week 4 with an 0-3 record.
But it only takes one win to get back on track.
This week, with Buckhannon-Upshur coming to town, coach Daran Hays and the Huskies will be looking to put their first three weeks behind them and finish strong.
North Marion's offense has had to switch things around with no timetable on quarterback Drew Harker's return, but with a freshman quarterback in Kyle Elliott, the Huskies could be in business.
With Elliott at the reins, it gives Chase Banker, who has seen a good bit of snaps at quarterback in Harker's absence, a chance to go back to wide receiver, his original position.
Hays has said numerous times he doesn't want to put the team on Elliott's 14-year-old back, but if he can get the ball to his playmakers, that could set the Huskies up to move toward the win column.
East Fairmont has a chance to knock off one of the up-and-coming teams this week in Lincoln.
Lincoln sits just outside the Top 10 rankings, and a win for East Fairmont will surely get rid of the sour taste of last week's defeat.
Coach Bill Haddox is teaching his team to focus on the basics of football going into their third game of the season.
You might be thinking, "Aren't they supposed to know the basics by this point?"
While that could be true, the basics aren't as basic as you might think.
The Bees opened the week of practice by not focusing on their opponent, but by figuring out their own strengths and how to capitalize on them.
East Fairmont is working with a new 6-foot-5 target on the outside, who can catch pretty well but needs to work on a few things. With the passing game opened up, East Fairmont will be able to use its speed guys and play to its strengths at quarterback.
Between Jake Delaney and Sam Swiger, East could have the option of run or pass at any time.
But Swiger will start to prove that he isn't just a passer, but an athlete.
Fairmont Senior, who sits in the No. 3 slot of the rankings in class AA, is sitting pretty in the polls.
But they could be sitting prettier after Week 4.
Though they're off, there's a big matchup one position higher.
Bridgeport, who sits at No. 2, will be taking on Robert C. Byrd. Byrd, who Fairmont Senior already beat, could knock off one of the top teams in the state, paving the way for the Polar Bears to gain ground during their week off.
Fairmont Senior's offense has proven through their first three games that they have big-play ability and can hurt teams with both the run and the pass.
As the season grows, Fairmont Senior has a chance to keep rising. They'll continue that mission against Elkins on Sept. 27.

Samstag's Class of '95
© Ross Wolfe
This publication witnesses the achievement of eleven artists who were awarded Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarships, tenable for twelve-months of study overseas, commencing from 1995.
These nine women and two men are beneficiaries of Gordon Samstag's vision to level the playing field for Australian artists, whom he knew to be as good as their international peers, but restricted unreasonably by geographic isolation. Consequently, this third group of Samstag Scholars will be embarking shortly on enviable creative adventures to New York, Utrecht, London, San Fransisco, Los Angeles, Glasgow and Dundee.
Following the good new of their award, the preparations which "Samstagers" must make to secure their overseas study opportunity are invariably complex and taxing. For example, while under no obligation to enrol in formal degree courses, their project must nevertheless demonstrate a full commitment to studio practice, under the bona fides of an appropriate institution. Negotiations for acceptance into a preferred institution can be arduous and slow.
While concerned primarily with artistic development and enrichment, the Samstag experience is thus also distinguished also by endeavour and self-reliance. Moreover, when confronted directly by the formidable of international contemporary art, scholarship recipients may discover, beneficially, that own indigenous artistic character distinct and viable.
In each of these first three years of the Samstag Program, it has been possible to award a larger number of scholarships than would usually the case. This is because funds accumulated in Mr Samstag's bequest after his death in 1990 and before the program commenced in 1992. From 1995, the number of Samstag Scholarships awarded will stabilise at approximately five, annually.
One final matter. This "Class of '95" Samstag catalogue is intended simply as a document of record and neither accompanies an exhibition, nor aspires an analysis of recipients' work. However, the catalogue does illustrate the selection committee's flexible criteria for art practice and its good judgement, in awarding the scholarships equitably between experienced artists of demonstrated achievement and those at the very beginning of their careers.
The selection committee of artists for the 1995 Samstag Scholarships were Max Lyle (Head of the South Australian School of Art) Barrie Goddard (Senior Lecturer at the school) and, performance and installation artist, Lyndal Jones.

ROCK HILL — A woman wearing only her underwear ran from a Rock Hill hotel room Saturday after her boyfriend tried to keep her confined in their room when he became angry that she poured out the liquor they had been drinking, according to police.
At about 10 p.m., police were sent to the Howard Johnson Inn on Riverview Road where they found a bald-headed man, later identified as Robert Johnston IV, arguing with a man who wielded a baseball bat, according to a Rock Hill police report. Police realized that the man with the bat was trying to help a woman who claimed Johnston, 33, assaulted her.
Johnston told police that his girlfriend flipped out and ran outside so he tried to pull her back in so she would not cause a scene, the report states. He grabbed her wrist and picked her up, putting her back in the room. Thats when the other man, 54, told him to stop attacking the woman.
The woman told police Johnston got mad at her after she poured out his liquor, the report states. She said Johnston jumped on top of her while she was in bed and refused to let her get up. When wriggled free, she ran outside only to realize she was still in her underwear.
She ran back inside to grab her pants and call police, but Johnston hung up the phone. She ran outside again only for Johnston to grab her by her hair as he tried to pull her inside. She grabbed hold of a railing, but Johnston grabbed her wrist until she let go. Back in the room, she told police Johnston stood over her and demanded that she not leave. Johnston walked out the room, during which the woman locked the door.
A witness told officers she saw the woman outside in her underwear and Johnston grab her. The witness husband confronted Johnston, leading to an argument, police said.
According to police, Johnston and the woman never lived together and have only been dating for a few months. The woman was taken to Piedmont Medical Center after suffering injuries to her wrist, which contained pins and plates after injuries she received in a previous accident.
Police charged Johnston, of Stanley, N.C., with kidnapping. He is jailed at the York County Detention Center on a $5,000 bond.

The Shawn Green comparisonBy
Shawn Green, a 14-year veteran, called it quits today, and something David Pinto wrote about him made me think about his career. Let's play the comparison game.
Player A played in 1951 games spanning 15 years. He racked up 2003 hits, 445 doubles, 328 HR, 1070 RBIs and a hitting line of .283/.355/.494. No one is talking about his career as anything close to Hall of Fame-worthy. Nevertheless, during Player A's five best seasons, he was quite the hitter, racking up a .288/.369/.545 line with 192 home runs.
Player B played 1785 games over 14 season and knocked out 2153 hits, 442 doubles, 222 HR, 1099 RBIs and a hitting line of .307/.358/.471. With nine Gold Gloves in tow, fans of Player B love to make his case for the Hall of Fame. During his six best years, he hit .327/.372/.530 with 160 HR.
Both players saw their playing time, power numbers and careers cut short by various injuries.
As you may be able to guess, Player A is of course Shawn Green, and Player B is Yankee fan favorite Don Mattingly. When all is said and done, their career numbers are remarkably similar, but Mattingly seems to enjoy the grassroots Hall of Fame support among die-hard Yankee fans while Green and Cooperstown won't ever end up in the same sentence.
Now, you can look closely at these numbers and see differences. Mattingly was a more prolific hitter and won more Gold Gloves, for whatever those are worth. Green, playing in a power era, had a higher career slugging percentage and launched over 100 more home runs than Mattingly. It all evens out in the end.
So what is it about Donnie Baseball that drives Yankee fans so crazy? To me, it's what he epitomizes. The Yanks in the 1980s and early 1990s were barren wastelands of teams, but Mattingly was a real throwback to the days of Yankee greats. He came to play every day, health-permitting, and he gave it his all. When he called it quits at a young age, New Yorkers didn't embrace Tino Martinez, his replacement, for some time.
This isn't meant to tear down Mattingly. I grew up idolizing Donnie Baseball, and I always wanted Number 23 for whatever after-school team I was on. He was my favorite. But Yankee fans get blinded by their love sometimes. Mattingly was great; he was a real presence on the team. His number deserves its spot in left-center field. But he doesn't really warrant the Cooperstown support he seems to get from a lot of fans. If you don't believe me, just ask Shawn Green.

OK, Donnie Baseball is not HOF material. The comparison with Green is somewhat bogus, however, since it looks only at counting stats without putting them in histoical context. For example, looking at OPS+ (which adjust for league and stadium), Mattingly is much superior:
Peak seasons:
Mattingly (1984-1989)–156, 156, 161, 146, 128, 133, AVE 147
Green (1998-2003)–116, 143, 116, 154, 154, 116, AVE 133
Green played in an era of more inflated offensive numbers. When put in context he only had three outstanding seasons. Neither his peak nor his career was as good Mattingly's.
And no, that is not an endorsement for Mattingly for the HOF.
Let's do a similar comparison and see what happens.
Player A played in 1783 games spanning 12 years. He racked up 2304 hits, 414 doubles, 207 HR, 1085 RBIs and a hitting line of .318/.360/.477. Not only was he talked about as Hall of Fame-worthy, he went in on the first ballot. During Player A's five best seasons, he was quite the hitter, with a line approximately equal to .338/.370/.514 line with 111 home runs.
"Player B played 1785 games over 14 season and knocked out 2153 hits, 442 doubles, 222 HR, 1099 RBIs and a hitting line of .307/.358/.471. With nine Gold Gloves in tow, fans of Player B love to make his case for the Hall of Fame. During his six best years, he hit .327/.372/.530 with 160 HR." (Ben K.)
Both players saw their careers cut short by injuries.
As you probably guessed Player A is Kirby Puckett, who the baseball world universally accepted as a Hall of Famer. Player B is Don Mattingly who has received only marginal support. The Puckett/Mattingly is a far more appropriate comparison because they played in the exact same era, unlike the Green/Mattingly comparison.
Puckett was also a CF for most of his career. and he stole 134 bases (not a ton but hey) and had huge playoff moments. fair or not, playoff moments count, which is one reason why Curt Schilling is a more deserving HOF candidate then Mike Mussina despite nearly identical career.
Puckett is a iffy HOF case, but his case is still a lot stronger then Donnie's
When it comes to Donnie vs. Puckett, I look at it this way -
Outside of Minnesota, nobody cares about Kirby Puckett. They remember him as a short, fat guy.
Donnie Baseball is beloved in many, many circles. Even Red Sox fans (begrudgingly) admit that they respect Don Mattingly, moreso than any other Yankee in the last 25 years.
Plus, Don had the best review in Bill James' Historical book:
"100% ballplayer, 0% bullshit"
This one's tough b/c I'm a Yankee fan….and I'm Jewish…
But Mattingly was a better player in his prime. Look at MVP votes. Mattingly was in the top 20 seven times, with a 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 7th to his credit and 2.22 total MVP shares. Green has a 9th, 5th, and 6th for a total of .69 MVP shares. Mattingly has 6 All-Star appearances, Green had 2.
And while Mattingly was generally regarded as the best place for about a 3-4 year stretch, Green has about 3 years where he was the best player on his team (Delgado in TOR, Sheffield in LA).
I suppose you could argue that Mattingly did better in MVP because he played in New York. Last I checked, though, MVP voters don't do favors for Yankees. Morneau over Jeter? Rice over Guidry?
I agree that Mattingly didn't have an HOF career. But he's at least worthy of the discussion. Can't say that for Green….
Mattingly doesn't belong in the HoF. And besides, it's not like he isn't remembered. Yankees fans remember, and honor him.
The difference between Green and Mattingly, as I see it, is how close they came to greatness. This doesn't explain why Donnie baseball should be in the Hall, but I think it does explain why fans would want him there over someone like Green. Before Mattingly's career was derailed by a series of back injuries, he was great. Hall of Fame great. He was a gold glove in the field, and a triple-crown threat at the plate. It's the lure (and sadness) of "what could have been".
the Puckett vs. Mattingly argument is a little embarrassing.
Puckett played CF. Mattingly played 1B.
would we be calling Jeter a 1st ballot HoFer if he played 1B? that doesn't mean Jeter would NOT have made it, since he could wind up in the top 5 in hits. but if jeter retired tomorrow as a SS, he'd be a HoFer. if he retired tomorrow as a 1Bman, he wouldn't.
Puckett was, at the time of his election, one of the 10-15 best players to ever play his position. he wasn't a slam dunk, but he had a decent case.
Mattingly is simply NOT one of the best to ever play his position.
there are a TON of guys not in the Hall of Fame who all had similar careers to Mattingly and did not play premium defensive positions. Just off the top of my head, i don't see the case for Mattingly over:
Will Clark
John Olerud
Dick Allen
Fred McGriff
Frank Thomas
Joe Torre
Jim Thome
Keith Hernandez
Albert Belle
Jim Rice
etc. etc. etc.
are you going to put all of those guys in the Hall? is John Olerud really a Hall of Famer? what is the OBJECTIVE case for Mattingly over Olerud?
i LOVE mattingly, but we have to let it go. he just didn't play at his highest level long enough. it's that simple. he had 4 HoF seasons. i wish he had more, but he just didn't.
if you guys want to make an argument about Puckett, you should be comparing him to Bernie Williams. then we might have an interesting conversation.
Ehhh there are few guys on your list that should /will get in. Thomas for one is pretty close to a lock, so is Thome and Dick Allen really shoulda gotten in.
right. and the more guys that deserve to be in before Mattingly weakens Mattingly's case.
let's simplify this:
What is the argument for Mattingly over Will Clark?
Steve, I know we differ a lot on opinions, but I respect your ability to look past your yankee bias and bring forth your honest opinion of the issue at hand. I feel Mattingly was a great player, both offensively and defensively. It would have been nice to see what may have been if not for his injuries.
Donnie probably isn't an HOF'er, but he gets the support because he's a HOF person……..so he doesn't get a plaque in Cooperstown, but he's got one with millions of fans……..at some point he will be back with the Yanks…..and will be embraced for the rest of his public life, and remembered with the greats……..
The only one here that really hit the single biggest point was Geno. Now I didn't follow Shawn Green's career, but the important question here is, was his career derailed by injury like Mattingly's ???
Mattingly simply was the best player in the game before the back problems. I don't think you could ever say that about Green.
agreed w/ you and geno: mattingly gets the love not just for his no-bullshit, maximum effort, no ego approach, but the magnitude of his greatness. he was the best player in MLB for 2 or 3 years, and that says something big.
everyone loves to play the "let's compare the cumulative stats" game, but i don't really care if a guy was above average at the plate for 20 years (i.e., harold baines). nice career, but that's not "fame" to me. i look at it as having more to do with greatness. mattingly was great, he just got hurt. shawn green was never really great, once you control for the era he played in, so this post offered the worst kind of stats analysis — add up the numbers and conclude the players are about equal.
and if you don't think defense at 1B is important, tell that to a team that just charged off the field pumped up b/c their 1Bman made a diving stab to save an RBI double and end the inning. yes, yes, defensive stats. but lifting your team doesn't show up in defensive stats.
Steve (different one), some of those guys aren't even finished with their careers. And you know damn well Frank Thomas and Thome will be first ballot hall of famers.
how does that change anything?
they are better players at the same position as Mattingly.
and no, i do not know "damn well" that Thome will be a 1st ballot HoFer.
Green played most of his years in the offensive explosion years, while Mattingly played in much more of a pitcher's era. Their numbers look comparable, but they really aren't.
I think the main difference in the HOF support between Mattingly and Green is motivated by the fact that Mattingly played his entire career for one team as in icon while Green was popular, but not iconic in his stays with several teams.
Therefore, Kirby Puckett is a better comparison for Mattingly, as was already suggested. However, I don't think that Mattingly is a slam dunk for the hall regardless.
Shawn Green is not anywhere close to a Hall of Famer.
he has nothing to do with why Mattingly is or isn't a Hall of Famer.
I don't get the point of this post? Mattingly has only received between 10-15% of the vote, so it seems as if you are creating an easy straw man to tear down. The more relevant issue you raised is why is Mattingly so beloved among Yankee fans, but that answer is simple…he was a great and beloved player who played his entire professional career with one team. What's more, he stood out in era that didn't offer Yankees fans much for which to root. Even if Mattingly didn't seem to possess all of the personal attributes that made him such an endearing figure, he would have enjoyed enormous popularity among Yankee fans.
Even more obvious is why Shawn Green doesn't have a similar following. Throw out performance and personality…the reason Shawn Green's career will fade into more obscurity is partly because of the era in which he played, but mostly because he wore 4 uniforms. You can't have a grass roots campaign when you don't even have a well established base of support.
Mattingly has only received between 10-15% of the vote, so it seems as if you are creating an easy straw man to tear down.
this is what Ben wrote:
But he doesn't really warrant the Cooperstown support he seems to get from a lot of fans.
he wasn't really talking about the actual voting.
but you are right in that the comparison doesn't hold water for one glaring reason:
Mattingly was BETTER than Shawn Green. Yourself, David and others have already pointed out the difference in their offensive environments. superficially they look similar, but when you dig into the numbers, you can see that Mattingly was a better player.
i think Puckett is a good case study against Mattingly for HOF.
but my vote would match the hall – Puckett – Y, Mattingly – N
Puckett had a longer prime period (in the 9 years from 1986-1994, he made top 10 in MVP voting 7 times!). 2 world series. And he played CF – a position with less depth than 1B. what CFs in their prime would you take over Puckett since 1970? the only guy I can put above him is Griffey Jr. Lofton is a consideration. Andruw Jones isn't….
i have no doubt, though, that if mattingly's back doesn't give out, he goes to the HOF….
Thankfully the Hall of Fame isnt strictly about numbers.
Its for the great players. Mattingly was. Green wasnt.
Mattingly will never get in though. Which is a shame. if Kirby is in, Donnie should be.
[...] On the Yankees beat It's early, but Joba needs a real job – Steven Goldman – Pinstriped Blog The Shawn Green comparison – Ben K. – River Ave. [...]
Mattingly was my favorite growing up too. I even starting using my stance like his in little league because I wanted to be just like him. He epitomizes what "class" is all about and handed it down to Jeter when he left.
Pretty interesting comparison.
As for the discussion about "who got more MVP votes" I would venture to say the primary reason Puckett got more MVP votes than Mattingly was because Puckett was on a winning teams. Mattingly was not, for the most part. My opinion, during the prime of each player, Mattingly was better. Donnie was the best hitter in baseball for a handful of years. Can't say that about Puckett.
First I want to respectfully state that I love the blog. However, the Mattingly, Shawn Greene comparison is pretty bogus. And if you're going to suggest that gold gloves mean little then consider this. Ozzie Smith's career numbers .262/.337/.328 with 28 hrs. If not for gold gloves why did he make it to cooperstown. I'm not trying to draw a comparison between the two or even make an arguement that Mattingly should be in the hall. Simply stating the defense all too often does get overlooked and Donnie certainly deserves mention among the all time great first baseman.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
— Two Hounds win awards for October
TRAVERSE CITY — The Traverse City Hounds' David Krejcik and Garrison Sanipass were honored by the Midwest Junior Hockey League with player of the month awards.
Krejcik, a 19-year-old Czech Republic native, was named the Goalie of the Month after going 4-1-0-2, winning his first four starts for the Hounds.
Sanipass, a 19-year-old from Northbrook, Ill., recorded six goals and 10 assists in five games before being called up to the Johnstown Tomahawks of the North American Hockey League.
Other MWJHL award winners for October were: Nick Murphy of the Soo Firehawks, the league's Forward of the Month, and Rob Speer of the Detroit Fighting Irish, the Defenseman of the Month.
Petoskey's Muller honored by MIAA
HOLLAND — Hope College's Jason Muller has been selected as the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week.
The senior from Petoskey scored four goals for the week as the Flying Dutchmen stayed alive in their bid for a share of the MIAA championship with two victories.
Muller scored two goals in a 3-0 shutout of Olivet, then scored just before halftime and again three minutes into the second half in a 4-1 win over Kalamazoo. He is second in the MIAA in goals (12) and points (28) in league play.
Muller is being honored as player of the week for the third time this season and fourth time in his career.
Sources: Incognito sent racist texts
DAVIE, Fla. — In the stadium program sold at the Miami Dolphins' game on Halloween, Richie Incognito was asked who's the easiest teammate to scare. His answer: Jonathan Martin.
The troubled, troubling relationship between the two linemen took an ominous turn Monday with fresh revelations: Incognito sent text messages to his teammate that were racist and threatening, two people familiar with the situation said.
The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins and NFL haven't disclosed the nature of the misconduct that led to Sunday's suspension of Incognito, a veteran with a reputation for dirty play.
Report: A-Rod failed MLB test in 2006
NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez tested positive for a banned stimulant in 2006, The New York Times reported Monday, an accusation denied by a representative of the legal team for the New York Yankees' third baseman.
The newspaper cited two unidentified people involved with baseball's drug-testing program.
Baseball's joint drug agreement specifies the discipline for a first positive test for a banned stimulant is six additional unannounced drug tests over the year following the violation. A second stimulant violation would result in a 25-game suspension.
Rodriguez's legal team accused MLB of leaking the allegation of a positive test, using a statement and making a filing to arbitrator Fredric Horowitz.
Lanny Davis, a former Clinton administration official working for Rodriguez's legal team, denied the player tested positive, the Times said. James McCarroll, a lawyer for the three-time AL MVP, did not address whether Rodriguez had a positive test, only that he was not banned.
ASU's Graham gets a scare on recruiting trip
TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona State coach Todd Graham appeared to still be a bit shaken after a plane he was riding in with his son during a recruiting trip over the weekend plummeted about 25,000 feet before leveling off and making an emergency landing.
"It was really kind of surreal," Graham said on Monday. "It was very, very scary."
Graham and his son Bo, Arizona State's running backs coach, were flying to Dallas to watch a recruit play when they were startled by a loud noise as their small plane hit 35,000 feet.
Father and son awoke to find the plane shaking, sirens going off and the pilots putting on their oxygen masks. Not long after, father and son put their oxygen masks on, the plane went into a dive as the pilots tried to control it.
With the plane still descending and the Grahams not sure of what was happening, Todd Graham climbed out of his seat and went to the cockpit.

FULTON, Miss. —
An agreement between Northeast Itawamba Water Association and Franklin County, Ala., to connect their water systems has been declared invalid.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that the contract was signed in January but little has been done on the $3 million project.
NIWA board president Ralph Burkes told Alabama officials the contract is no good.
Burkes says a former board president signed the pact without board approval — a violation of the bylaws.
"Not a person sitting up here now knew anything about that contract when it was signed," Burkes told the Franklin County representatives. "I was on the board when that contract was signed and by the time I even knew there was a contract, it was already signed."
Burkes says the board has not abandoned the Alabama project but is looking at other options.
Last month, the board voted to hire Cook Coggins Engineering to look into connecting the regional water system to the City of Fulton's water system to provide water for customers in the Salem area.
That study is expected to be completed within the next 30 days.
"You don't have to run away," Burkes told the Franklin County representatives. "We're going to have to get water from somewhere. We're just looking at Fulton, too."
