The Mount Gilead Barracudas continued their busy season with meets against Tiffin and Colonel Crawford. The MG swimmers were victorious by a narrow margin over Tiffin: 314-292.
Highlights of the meet included Michael Snopik setting the 50 backstroke record for the 13-14 boys as well as many of the team members achieving personal bests.
"Abby Kincaid dropped over 30 seconds in her backstroke, so the whole team had fun cheering for her," said coach Dina Snow.
Earning first place relay finishes finishes for the team were the 9-10 boys medley relay (Kasey Fiant, Niles Bush, Hawke Littell and Griffin McClelland); the 13-14 girls medley relay (Syntyche Black, Kyndra Irwin, Taylor Robinson and Tatum Neal); the 13-14 boys medley relay (Michael Snopik, Wesley Bush, Joel Conrad and Mason Kidwell); the 15-18 girls medley relay (Keana Littell, Cassandra Snopik, Madison Hack and Michaela McGill) and the 15-18 boys medley relay (Eric Mowery, Gavin Robinson, Casey Conrad and Tyler Knight); the 8-under girls free relay (Gabby Brinkman, Avery McClelland, Makayla Carlisle and Alina VanHorn); the 9-10 boys free relay (Niles Bush, Kasey Fiant, Anthony Bump and Griffin McClelland); the 11-12 boys free relay (Brice Haughn, Carson Mowery, Hayden McClelland and Hawke Littell); the 13-14 girls free relay (McGill, Taylor Robinson, Skye Shipman and Tatum Neal); the 13-14 boys free relay (Joel Conrad, William West, Mason Kidwell and Michael Snopik) and the 15-18 girls free relay (Madison Hack, Keana Littell, Kyndra Irwin and Cassandra Snopik).
Earning second place relay finishes were the 11-12 boys medley relay (Nathan Rabun, Luke Frazier, Brice Haughn and Carson Mowery); the 11-12 girls free relay (Kamry Grandstaff, Ryann Brinkman, Abigail Griffith and Shyla Pruden); the 13-14 boys 'B' free relay (Nathan Rabun, Bradley West, Wesley Bush and Luke Frazier); and the 15-18 boys free relay (Casey Conrad, Eric Mowery, Gavin Robinson and Tyler Knight).
Scoring first place in their individual events were Kyndra Irwin, 100 IM; Tyler Knight, 200 IM; Connor Robinson, 25 breast; Shyla Pruden, 25 free and 25 back; Luke Frazier 50 free and 50 breast ; Madison Hack, 50 free; Michael Snopik, 50 free, 50 back and 100 free; Casey Conrad, 100 fly, 50 free and 100 back; Cassandra Snopik, 200 free and 100 breast; Hawke Littell, 25 breast and 50 free; Keana Littell, 50 back; Nate Rabun, 100 free; and Gavin Robinson, 100 breast.
Bringing in second place points were Alina VanHorn, 25 free and 50 free; Connor Robinson, 25 free and 25 back; Kendall Neal, 25 free; Nathan Rabun, 50 free and 50 back ; Kyndra Irwin, 50 free; Mason Kidwell, 50 free; Taylor Robinson, 50 fly and 100 back; Joel Conrad, 50 fly, 100 free and 50 breast; Hawke Littell, 25 fly; Luke Frazier, 100 free; Gavin Robinson, 200 free; Gabby Brinkman, 25 back; Connor Robinson, 25 back; Ryann Brinkman, 25 back and 25 breast; Anthony Bump, 25 back; Madison Hack, 50 back and 50 breast; Mason Kidwell, 50 back; and Tyler Knight, 100 breast.
Adding additional points were Natalie Rose, Niles Bush, Michaela McGill, William West, Eric Mowery, Griffin McClelland, Abigail Griffith, and Brice Haughn.
"I was proud of the team," said Snow. "It is a long way to travel to Tiffin on a weeknight! Due to some absences, we also had some creative relay combinations with younger swimmers moving up to fill spots. Everyone did a great job!"
The team then traveled to Colonel Crawford for a meet on June 30.
"It goes without saying that we didn't win this meet!" said Snow. "They have a huge team with a lot of younger swimmers filling all the events. Even so, I was proud of how the kids did. Our older age groups measured up well, and at least our team is large enough to make it competitive. Just by having someone in the race, we at least get the third place mercy point!"
Colonel Crawford won with a score of 549-174.
First place finishes were earned by the 11-12 boys medley relay (Nathan Rabun, Luke Fraizer, Carson Mowery, Brice Haughn) and free relay (Haughn, Mowery, Hayden McClelland and Hawke Littell); the 13-14 boys medley relay (Mason Kidwell, Wesley Bush, Joel Conrad and Michael Snopik); Joel Conrad, 100 IM and 50 fly; Michael Snopik, 50 free and 50 back; Luke Fraizer, 50 breast; Casey Conrad, 100 fly; Gavin Robinson, 200 free; Evan Zmuda, 100 breast, and the 15-18 boys free relay (Casey Conrad, Evan Zmuda, Gavin Robinson and Tyler Knight).

Individual Super-Veggie Pot Pies
Categories: Children's Recipes Lunch Main Meals Recipes
Indulge on comfort food with this recipe for individual gluten-free and dairy-free duper-veggie pot pies from YumUniverse by Heather Crosby.
Visit the YumUniverse website
Top Tip: Use 6 x 4 inches ramekins or 1 x 9 inch glass pie pan if you prefer to make 1 large pot pie – children will love the fun of having their own individual pie to eat!!
Psst! Roll out dough onto parchment, cut, then slide onto a cookie sheet and freeze for 5 minutes. Use an offset spatula to easily lift up crust "disks" to lay on top of ramekins. The heat will compromise the probiotic benefits of the miso a bit — it's used in this recipe mainly as a tasty seasoning.

Changes in the federal Common Rule governing research with human participants go into effect on January 21, 2019. To prepare for these changes, there will be a temporary freeze imposed on new study submissions (initial IRB and Exempt applications) between Wednesday, January 16th at 4 p.m. and Sunday, January 20th at 8 p.m. Other submission types will be accepted during this interval. Buck-IRB will be briefly offline on Sunday, January 20th beginning at 6 p.m. while the system is updated to comply with revised Common Rule changes.
What the Final Common Rule Changes Mean for Your Research
As we approach the end of the year and the upcoming general compliance date of January 21, 2019, here is what you need to know:
- There is no phase-in period. Any study approved on or before January 20, 2019, must comply with the current Rule, and any study approved on or after January 21, 2019, must comply with the new Final Rule.
- Buck-IRB will be briefly offline on January 20th while the system is updated. In addition, there will be a temporary freeze imposed on new study submissions between Wednesday, January 16th and Sunday, January 20th. This freeze is to ensure that investigators do not get caught between versions of the rule, and to avoid having to modify submissions to meet the new rule.
- Initial IRB submissions submitted on or after January 1, 2019, will likely be approved after January 21, 2019 based on typical review timelines. Further, you may experience a temporary increase in IRB approval timelines during this period while our office implements Common Rule changes.
What you can do:
Currently Approved Studies
- ANNUAL REVIEW: If your study will expire before February 15, 2019, submit your continuing review/annual status report as soon as possible. As noted above, approval timelines may be slightly longer than normal; allowing ample time for screening and review will decrease the likelihood of study expiration.
- AMENDMENTS: Please note in Buck IRB once a continuing review is submitted an amendment cannot be submitted until the continuing review has been approved, please prioritize accordingly. If your study expires in the next 60 days, you may wish to submit your continuing review/annual status report prior to submitting new amendments, since approval timelines may be slightly longer than normal.
New Initial Submissions
- MODIFY QUICKLY: If your initial submission is currently in the review process, respond to modifications as quickly as possible to ensure review and approval will be completed by January 20, 2019, under the current Common Rule regulations. Otherwise, application and consent form revisions may require additional (in some instances significant) modifications to comply with the Final Rule.
- HOLD or WITHDRAW/RESUBMIT: You may want to wait until after the Final Rule compliance date to submit your initial IRB application. Under the Final Rule, some types of research will no longer require IRB review and instead will qualify for exemption. If your initial submission is received after December 31, 2018, it will be screened for possible review options consistent with the Final Rule.
- PLAN AHEAD: If you are currently in the process of preparing an initial submission, ensure your study documents include the updated consent templates that are located on the ORRP website at http://orrp.osu.edu/irb/investigator-guidance/consent/.

Do you own a computer that is more than a year old? If so, then you may be running out of disk space. In the same way that closets and attics have a way of filling up and overflowing, so do hard drives. Maybe your 8-megapixel camera needs a gigabyte of disk space every time you unload the camera's memory card. Or your MP3 collection grows by 10 songs every day. Perhaps you are trying to edit videos of the kids, and every 5 minutes of tape consumes a gigabyte of disk space. Or maybe you would like to add a TV tuner card to your machine and turn your computer into a DVR.
Digital cameras, video cameras, MP3 players and TV tuner cards all consume lots of disk space. If you use any of these gadgets, chances are that you need more space. In this article, we will show you how easy it is to add a new hard drive to your existing machine.
1: Research your machine
Before we start the process of adding a drive, we need to do a small amount of research inside your machine. The goal of the research is to find out if it will be easy or not so easy to add the new hard drive. We also need to find out what kind of drive you need to buy. You may be able to do this research by reading through your computer's manuals, but it is far easier to simply open the case and look inside.
The first question to answer is: How many hard disk drives have already been installed inside the case? In the majority of machines, the answer to this question is "one." Having only one hard disk drive installed makes it easy to install another one. After you open up your computer's case and look inside, you will probably find one optical drive (a CD or DVD drive), a single hard disk drive and perhaps a floppy disk drive. The optical and floppy drives will be easy to find because you can see them on the outside of the case. The hard drive may take a little searching. If you have no idea what a hard drive looks like, look at the photo above.
If there are already two drives installed inside your case, then adding a new one is more difficult.
2: Check how much space is available
Is there space available to add another hard-disk drive? Your current hard disk is probably mounted in a small metal cage or rack inside the machine. Make sure there is space available in the cage for another drive. If not, adding an external drive is an option.
An external drive connects to your computer through either a USB 2.0 connection or a FireWire connection, so your computer needs to have USB 2.0 or FireWire connectors. Once you buy the drive, all you have to do is connect it and fire up your computer. The drive will come with configuration instructions, but on Windows XP it will likely be plug-and-play. You can start saving files on your new drive immediately.
There is one big advantage to an external drive: you can plug it into multiple machines and move files around. You can take it with you anywhere you go. The only real disadvantage is that it will be slower than an internal drive. If it takes a minute to copy a gigabyte of data on an internal drive, it might take two minutes on an external drive. That may or may not be important depending on what you want to do. For most applications, the slower speed is irrelevant.
3: See what type of cable system is used
Find out what type of cable system is used to connect drives to the motherboard. There are two systems in common use: IDE drives (also known as PATA, or Parallel ATA), and SATA (Serial ATA) drives. PATA drives have wide, flat cables or thick cables as wide as your finger, while SATA drives have thin cables about the diameter of a pencil. You will need to know whether to buy an IDE or SATA drive, and you should be able to tell by looking at the cables.
Now that you have confirmed that there is space to install a new drive in your machine and you know what type of drive you need (PATA or SATA), you can buy a new drive.
4: Buy a new hard drive
You can buy a new hard drive from many different places: a retail store, a large computer store, a local computer parts store or by mail order. Wherever you go to buy it buy it, keep three things in mind:
- Buy a "normal" 3.5-inch wide hard drive. They're sold everywhere, but you want to avoid the smaller hard disk drives made for laptops.
- Make sure the new drive has the correct cable system (SATA or PATA) to match your machine.
- Make sure the drive is big. Buy the biggest drive you can afford, because it will probably fill up before you know it.
Now that you have your new drive, you are ready to install it.
5: Eliminate static electricity
Before we start working with the drive, we need to talk about static electricity. Your computer is highly sensitive to static shocks. This means that if you build up static electricity on your body and a shock passes from your body to something like a hard drive, that hard drive is dead and you will have to buy another one.
The way to eliminate static electricity is by grounding yourself. There are lots of ways to do this, but probably the easiest way is to wear a grounding bracelet on your wrist. Then you connect the bracelet to something grounded (like a copper pipe or the center screw on a wall outlet's face plate). By connecting yourself to ground, you eliminate the possibility of static shock. You can get a bracelet for a few dollars.
6: Set the jumpers
First, set the jumpers (if it is an IDE drive). Let's talk about this in more detail, because most people have IDE drives.
In the IDE system, most motherboards allow you to have two IDE cables. Each cable can connect to two drives. Usually you use one cable to connect one or two optical drives to your machine. The other cable is used to connect one or two hard drives to your machine.
You want both hard drives to be on the same cable. The two drives on the cable are called "master" and "slave." You want your existing hard drive (which contains the operating system and all of your current data) to be the "master" and the new hard drive to be the "slave." The drive should have instructions on them that tell you how to set the jumpers for master and slave. So read the instructions and set the jumpers. If you are using SATA drives, you do not need to set jumpers for master and slave because each drive gets its own cable. Check out How IDE Controllers Work to learn more about the master and slave configuration.
7: Mount the drive and connect
Now that the jumpers are set correctly, mount the new drive in your drive cage and screw it into place.
Next, plug in the drive's power connector to the power supply. If it fits, then it's a match.
Connect the IDE or SATA cable to the drive.
8: Format the new drive
Close the machine, power it up and configure your new drive using the Windows XP drive administration tool. To do this, click the Start button, open the Control Panel, Switch to Classic View, click on Administrative Tools, click on Computer Management, click on Disk Management. (For Windows Vista instructions, click here.)
Look at the graphical area in the bottom right of this display. Disk 0 is your original hard drive. Disk 1 is the new hard drive. Chances are that the new drive will not be initialized , or formatted. Click the small button to initialize the drive, and then format it as an NTFS volume (right click on the new drive, then click "Format..."). Formatting may take an hour or more, so be patient.
When the formatting is done, you are ready to use your new drive.

Puzzle 4: Smullyanic Dynasty
It started with the name. I have always admired Raymond M. Smullyan, and one day the thought flashed across my mind: there should be a high-quality logic-based pencil puzzle named "Smullyanic Dynasty". I sort of let the idea just sit and brew in my head, bouncing around a few ideas as to what such a puzzle would look like, what sort of rules it would employ. I knew it needed to have something to do with either binary logic on a grand scale or functional string manipulation. With nothing else better to concentrate on than the sidewalk when walking from a parking lot to an arcade recently, I gave it careful consideration, and I had the gist of it just before I entered the front door. What I had was obviously inspired by all the Nikoli puzzles I'd been solving recently as well as Smullyan's works; I had a grid of numbers and a binary-logic rule for determining which are to be shaded in. However, when I started experimenting with the puzzle, I found that it didn't really work. It was missing something; it needed another rule to make uniquely solvable puzzles.
I came to realize that my unintended inspiration provided the perfect answer. Nikoli has no fewer than three different puzzles that all have one ruleset in common (no, not the single, uncrossed loop); Hitori, Heyawake, and (the atrociously-named) Where is Black Cells have different mechanics but one unifying concept that they all adhere to. I tried applying it to my puzzle design, and it did the trick - it worked beautifully. It was purely an afterthought that I found 'Dynasty' is an ideal name for this concept, bringing the design process full circle.
The result is part Hitori, part Smullyan, part Minesweeper, and part something-all-its-own. It is my great pleasure to debut this original puzzle design. I would like to think Mr. Smullyan himself would be honored by this.
You guessed it - before and after. Puzzle on the left, unique solution on the right.
Each cell of the grid is either a "knight" or a "knave". The objective is to determine which for all cells. Knaves never share a side, and all knights are orthogonally contiguous - that's the "Dynasty". A number in a knight is the number of adjacent knaves, including diagonally; a number in a knave is not the number of adjacent knaves, including diagonally and itself - that's the "Smullyanic".
...Okay, fine, be that way - I'll give you a numbered list:
1) Each cell (unit square) is either a "knight" or a "knave". Mark them all to solve the puzzle. (Rather than colored pencils, I recommend simply shading in knaves and putting a circle in knights. For cells with numbers, either circle the number or shade lightly - you'll probably need that number to stay legible!)
2) The Knaves Stand Alone Rule: Knaves are never orthogonally adjacent - that is, they are never side-by-side. They can touch at a corner, but can never share a side in common. (This means that whenever you find a knave, you know all orthogonally adjacent cells are knights.)
3) The Dynasty Rule: All knights are orthogonally contiguous - just like the water squares in Islands in the Stream [see rule 6].
4) The Smullyanic Rules: Each cell is said to have a "domain", consisting of itself and all adjacent cells, including diagonally. When a cell has a number in it...
- 4a) Knights always tell the truth: ...and the cell is a knight, the number MUST correctly state how many knaves are in its domain.
- 4b) Knaves always lie: ...and the cell is a knave, the number MUST incorrectly state how many knaves are in its domain. (Remember that this includes the knave itself.)
So how can one even start a puzzle where none of the given information can apparently be trusted? Well, there are a few ways. I'll give you two of them in my walkthrough of the sample problem:
( Collapse )
Neither of those two rules will help you with the puzzle below. You should be able to find another rule or two to give you a place to start, however. This puzzle is actually rather straightforward, although I've put a little bit of trickiness into its endgame. For this first challenge, I decided to simply be kind and put a number into every cell; don't expect this to always be the case in the future. I hope you enjoy solving this; as always, tell me what you think on the comment page, and email me the solution if you solve it. - ZM

Gram, Telegram's token, will be made available to retail investors through a limited listing on July 10, TechCrunch has reported today.
The token sale will be made on cryptocurrency exchange Liquid. Telegram will not offer the tokens directly, instead, they will be sold by Gram Asia, a Korea-based organization which claims to be the largest holder of Gram tokens in Asia. The number of tokens as well as their price has not been disclosed yet.
This sale is a limited offering before the actual public sale, which will take place in October.
The press release that announces the token sale does not include any quote by Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO. It looks like the company is trying to avoid being involved in the token sale. Some people say it might have adopted this strategy in an attempt to avoid problems with the law.
Buyers will not be able to exchange their tokens since they will be held in USDC until the tokens are released in October.

This new range of furnishings for the home springs from colours and textures. Recalling sky and earth, colours draw on blues toned with greys and charcoal, yellows and a soft brown, a shimmer of metallic thread. Silk has been quilted in waves, velvet smocked and hand worked, cushions embellished with a discreet embroidery. The look is luxurious but casual.
Morning Dew
Enjoy the calm and the freshness of the colours. A light blue has been lightly fused with charcoal in the hand-quilted silk bedcover. Blue and charcoal are again picked up in the throw where organza, silk and tussar have been hand-knotted to give a casual overlay. A decorative cushion has been added in a textured embroidery of charcoal brown.
Stones in the Earth
Here the colours draw deep on nature with charcoal and brown recalling the richness of the soil. The silk bedcover quilted in waves has been made reversible to reflect both sky and stone. Velvet has been used for a cushion which has been smocked and textured.
A Chinese Garden
The inspiration is porcelain and willow. The yellow of the hand stitched throw has been contrasted with the light grey of the quilt. A velvet cushion completes the bed and beside it lies another embellished with metallic thread.

SYDNEY • Australian banking giant ANZ's chief executive Mike Smith, who oversaw a big push into Asia, said he was stepping down yesterday after eight years in the top job.
England-born Mr Smith will be replaced by chief financial officer Shayne Elliott on Jan 1 next year but will serve as a non-executive adviser to the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group's board for at least a year due to his "invaluable understanding of and connections in Asia", the bank said.
Chairman David Gonski praised Mr Smith for his efforts in steering the company - which has a market capitalisation of A$78.1 billion (S$78.2 billion) - through the global financial crisis and for transforming "ANZ into one of Asia-Pacific's leading banks".
"Mike has been a champion of ANZ and of Australia globally but particularly in Asia," Mr Gonski said in a statement.
New Zealander Mr Elliott, who previously held senior positions at Egypt-headquartered investment bank EFG-Hermes and American firm Citibank, was chosen after a detailed review of candidates.
The incoming CEO said the bank was committed to seeking growth in Asia but flagged more discipline in implementing its strategy - one that has come under fire for its low returns.
Mr Smith started the bank's "super regional" strategy in 2007, making it the only major Australian bank to focus on Asia. Although he initially gained plaudits, investors have become impatient with the region's high costs and weak returns, especially when compared with a lucrative domestic market.
"The opportunity remains valid, but the way we operate has to change," Mr Elliott told an investor briefing. "We need to kind of re-address our focus on capital discipline and allocation of resources."
The appointment saw ANZ shares climb 1.6 per cent, in line with the broader market. The stock has, however, underperformed this year, falling 15 per cent compared with 9 per cent declines each for Westpac Banking Corp and National Australia Bank.
"(Elliott's comment) shows a commitment to fix the issue but Asia is a difficult market, so it's questionable what can actually be done and at what cost," said Mr Omkar Joshi from Watermark Funds Management.
ANZ has invested in 15 Asian countries where it focuses on cash management, foreign exchange and debt markets.
Last month, it opened a new branch in China and will open its first branch in Myanmar today.

With you, it's virtually non-stop haywire? Then maybe it could be because you astrologically do not fit together.
Even those who are not so convinced of astrology must admit that people of a zodiac sign are already similar in certain peculiarities, behaviors or attitudes. And it is crystal clear that certain constellations do not work at all – and in everyday life, instead of passion, one often cooks with anger.
XpoFeed astrologer Bella Warren has examined all the Zodiac Signs. These three do not get away well:
Virgo Woman & Leo Man
Bella Warren: Spontaneous, real attraction can hardly be mentioned here. The two are really different. The fish-woman, who propagates more being instead of appearance and the self-confident, the self-esteem perfect staging lion, that does not work without relationship stress If, however, the fish-woman their ascendant or Mars in Leo, has the relationship dynamics quite different. Then a wonderful affinity will bring together and hold, complementing each other, admiration, fascination make life a feast.
Cancer Woman & Sagittarius Man
Bella Warren: The enthusiasm for each other is certainly limited. Differences are inevitable in so many different ways of looking at life. The cancer woman is one of the introverted beings, is more interested in inner worlds and psychological structures than in the outer glow. The Sagittarius man's strong self-confidence, his enthusiasm, his unshakable belief in his own magic, can stress and confuse the Cancer woman, So they will need a lot of love, patience, understanding, unless the cancer has her moon or Mars in Sagittarius. Or he his ascendant in cancer. Then the love life sparkles like stardust.
Scorpio Woman and Aries Man
Bella Warren: Two extremely combative natures, who are unlikely to coexist without harder bandages. But difficult does not mean impossible. Because the thrill that is promised here, of course, also has a high appeal. But: The highly emotional Scorpio woman usually sees in love other content and a mystical dimension, which often seems rather threatening to Aries men.
There is always hope
Apart from the Ascendants, who can still save you, the question is always: How do you deal with the differences? Are you ready to work on the relationship? Then these are good conditions, that it still works.
You are not among the "disaster pairs"?
Then maybe you still want to know how well you fit together. A look into our partner horoscope is enough.

Tycho "Spectre" (Bibio remix)
Published Aug 12, 2014Ghostly International experimenter Tycho recently issued his Awake LP. Those of you who are still awake are in for a treat, as the album's "Spectre" has been remixed by Warp Records mainstay Bibio.
While the original was already a playful delight, Bibio ups the charm significantly with multi-layered guitar samples, many of which are treated to wonderfully warm, backmasked guitar samples. Simply put, it's a fantastic remix that warrants repeat listens.
Listen to Bibio's take on Tycho below [via Stereogum].

The Bad News Bears is a 1976 American sports comedy film directed by Michael Ritchie and written by Bill Lancaster. It stars Walter Matthau and Tatum O'Neal. The film was followed by two sequels, The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training in 1977 and The Bad News Bears Go to Japan in 1978, a short-lived 1979–80 CBS television series, and a 2005 remake.
Notable was the score by Jerry Fielding, which is an adaptation of the principal themes of Bizet's opera Carmen.
Morris Buttermaker, an alcoholic and former minor-league baseball pitcher, is recruited by Bob Whitewood, a city councilman and attorney who filed a lawsuit against an ultra-competitive Southern California Youth Baseball League which excluded the least skilled athletes (including his son) from playing. In order to settle the lawsuit, the league agrees to add an additional team - the Bears - which is composed of the worst players. Buttermaker becomes the coach of the unlikely team, which includes (among others) a near-sighted pitcher, an overweight catcher, a foulmouthed shortstop with a Napoleon complex, an outfielder who dreams of emulating his idol Hank Aaron, two non-English-speaking Mexican immigrants, a withdrawn and bullied boy named Timmy Lupus, and a motley collection of other "talent". Shunned by the more competitive teams (and competitive parents), the Bears are the outsiders. They play their opening game, and do not even record an out, giving up 26 runs before Buttermaker forfeits the game.
Realizing the team is nearly hopeless, he recruits a couple of unlikely prospects: sharp-tongued Amanda Whurlitzer, a skilled pitcher (trained by Buttermaker when she was younger) who is the 11-year-old daughter of one of Buttermaker's ex-girlfriends. At first, she tries to convince Buttermaker that she has given up baseball, but then she reveals that she had been practicing "on the sly". Before agreeing to join the team, Amanda makes a number of outlandish demands (such as imported jeans, modeling school, ballet lessons, etc.) as conditions for joining. Upon hearing her demands, Buttermaker asks, "Who do you think you are, Catfish Hunter?" Amanda responds by asking, "Who's he?" Rounding out the team, Buttermaker recruits the "best athlete in the area," who also happens to be the local cigarette-smoking, loan-sharking, Harley-Davidson-riding troublemaker, Kelly Leak. With Amanda and Kelly on board, the team starts gaining more confidence, and the Bears start winning games.
Eventually, the unlikely Bears make it to the championship game opposite the top-notch Yankees, who are coached by aggressive, competitive Roy Turner. As the game progresses, tensions are ratcheted up as Buttermaker and Roy engage in shouting matches, directing their players to become increasingly more ruthless and competitive against each other, going as far as fighting, spiking on slide, or the batter getting hit on purpose.
The turnaround point of the game comes after a heated exchange between Roy's son (and Yankees pitcher) Joey and the Bears at-bat catcher Engelberg. Roy orders his son to walk Engelberg, the only Bears hitter he cannot overcome, despite Joey's wish to give it a try. In response, Joey intentionally throws a wild beanball nearly striking Engelberg in the head. Horrified, Roy goes to the mound and slaps his son. On the next pitch, Engelberg hits a routine ground ball back to Joey who exacts revenge against his father by holding the ball until Engelberg has an inside the park home run. Joey then leaves the game, dropping the ball at his father's feet.
Buttermaker, realizing that he has become as competitive as Roy, puts the benchwarmers on the field, thus giving everyone a chance to play. In spite of this, the finish-up brings up the best team-play from the Bears. After loading the bases with smart tactics (two walks and a bunt) they nearly recover a four run difference, with the last runner getting taken out at the last moment.
After having narrowly lost the game 7 to 6, Buttermaker gives the team free rein of his beer cooler. Although they did not win the championship, they have the satisfaction of having come a long way. The condescending Yankees congratulate the Bears telling them that although they are still not that good, they have "guts." Tanner, the shortstop, replies by telling the Yankees where they can put their trophy. The Bears cheer and Timmy Lupus overcomes his chronic shyness enough to yell "Wait 'til next year!", then they spray their beers all over each other. The movie ends with a field celebration that makes it look as if they won the game.
- Walter Matthau as Morris Buttermaker, coach of the Bears: A drunken, loud, ex-professional baseball pitcher and part-time pool cleaner, who drives a rundown blue Cadillac convertible
- Vic Morrow as Roy Turner, coach of the Yankees who is competitive and aggressive
- Joyce Van Patten as Cleveland, league manager who favors Roy and the Yankees
- Ben Piazza as Bob Whitewood, city councilman and lawyer who sued the league to allow the Bears (in particular, his son) to play and who convinces (and pays) Buttermaker to coach the team
- Tatum O'Neal as Amanda Whurlitzer, the 11-year-old pitcher who feels insecure about her tomboy image. She is recruited by Buttermaker to help the team start winning. She is no-nonsense and a great pitcher who was taught by Buttermaker when she was young. The boys grow to be very protective of her, picking a fight with their rivals during a game when Amanda is kicked in the chest. Her mother is Buttermaker's ex-girlfriend and she looks to him as a father figure. Amanda and Tanner butt heads a lot, but respect each other. She also has a secret crush on Kelly.
- Chris Barnes as Tanner Boyle, the short-tempered shortstop with a Napoleon complex; after suffering a horrible loss on their first game, he picks a fight with the entire seventh grade from his school (and loses). He tends to curse more than the others, and initially insults and bullies Timmy before realizing he's treating Timmy no better than the kids from their rival team and becomes protective of him, leading to an unlikely friendship between them. He is also close friends with Ahmad.
- Jackie Earle Haley as Kelly Leak, the local troublemaker who smokes and rides a mini Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Kelly is also the best athlete in the neighborhood. At first, he doesn't want to join when Amanda attempts to recruit him, but he changes his mind when Coach Turner threatens him. He alternates between left- and center-field and has a crush on Amanda. After joining the team, he forms close friendships with Tanner, Ahmad and Ogilvie.
- Erin Blunt as Ahmad Abdul-Rahim, a black Muslim boy who plays in the outfield, is liked by everyone on the team and adores Hank Aaron; Ahmad strips off his uniform in shame after committing several errors in the Bears' first game, but is convinced to return to the team by Buttermaker and is used for bunts in games due to his speed. He is shown to be close friends with Tanner.
- Gary Lee Cavagnaro as Mike Engelberg, an overweight boy who plays catcher; a great hitter, he frequently teases Tanner about his size. He breaks Buttermaker's windshield with a baseball at the first practice. He has a deep rivalry with Yankee pitcher Joey causing them to throw insults at each other.
- Alfred W. Lutter as Alfred Ogilvie, a bookworm who memorizes baseball statistics. He's mostly a bench-warmer who assists the coach with defensive strategy. A backup outfielder/first baseman, but reluctant to play because he feels he's one of the lesser-skilled players on the team.
- David Stambaugh as Toby Whitewood, an unassuming boy who plays first base. He knows about the other players' personalities, is intelligent and well-spoken, and at times speaks on behalf of the team. He is the son of councilman Bob Whitewood, who secretly paid Buttermaker to coach the team.
- Quinn Smith as Timmy Lupus, initially described by Tanner as a "booger-eating spaz;" plays right-field and is considered to be the worst player on the team — if not the entire league — but he surprises everyone in the final game by making a key play to keep the Bears in the game. He is the most quiet and shy player, but shows the odd ability to properly prepare a martini for Coach Buttermaker while the team was assisting the coach with pool cleaning.
- Jaime Escobedo as Jose Aguilar, Miguel's older brother who plays second base; doesn't speak English.
- George Gonzales as Miguel Aguilar, Jose's younger brother; mostly plays right-field. He does not speak English. He is so short that the strike zone is practically non-existent.
- David Pollock as Rudi Stein, a nervous relief pitcher with glasses who is a terrible hitter; at times he is asked by Coach Buttermaker to purposely get hit by pitches in order to get on base. Also a backup outfielder.
- Brett Marx as Jimmy Feldman, a fairly quiet third baseman with curly blond hair.
- Scott Firestone as Regi Tower, a fairly quiet, red-headed third baseman whose dad vocally attends practices and games. Also plays first base.
- Brandon Cruz as Joey Turner, the star pitcher for the Yankees. Coach Roy Turner's son. He has a rivalry with Engleberg and regularly bullies Tanner and Timmy. Allows Engleberg an inside-the-park home run, then quits the team after Roy slaps him in anger for almost beaning the Bears' catcher.
The Bad News Bears was filmed in and around Los Angeles, primarily in the San Fernando Valley. The field where they played is in Mason Park on Mason Avenue in Chatsworth. In the film, the Bears were sponsored by an actual company, Chico's Bail Bonds. One scene was filmed in the council chamber at Los Angeles City Hall.
Matthau was paid $750,000 plus over 10% of the theatrical rentals.[3] Tatum O'Neal was paid $350,000 plus a percentage of the profits.[4] These were later estimated to be $1.9 million.[5]
Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 97% based on reviews from 30 critics and an average rating of 7.6/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "The Bad News Bears is rude, profane, and cynical, but shot through with honest, unforced humor, and held together by a deft, understated performance from Walter Matthau."[6]
In his 1976 review, critic Roger Ebert gave the film three stars out of four and called it "an unblinking, scathing look at competition in American society".[7] Gene Siskel awarded two-and-a-half stars out of four, calling the film's characters "more types than people" and the kids' foul-mouth dialogue "overdone," though he found O'Neal's performance "genuinely affecting."[8] Variety called it "the funniest adult-child comedy film since 'Paper Moon'," and lauded the "excellent" script.[9] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times declared it "the best American screen comedy of the year to date," adding, "Bright, pugnacious and utterly realistic as most children seem to be today, these kids are drawn with much accuracy and are played beautifully."[10] Vincent Canby of The New York Times found the film only "occasionally funny" but praised screenwriter Bill Lancaster for "the talent and discipline to tell the story of 'The Bad News Bears' almost completely in terms of what happens on the baseball diamond or in the dugout."[11] Gary Arnold of The Washington Post praised it as "a lively, spontaneously funny entertainment" that "could rally a large parallel audience seeking less innocuous and stereotyped pictures with and about children."[12] Tom Milne of The Monthly Film Bulletin called it "miraculously funny and entirely delightful."[13]
Walter Matthau was nominated for a BAFTA award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Comedy. The screenplay by Bill Lancaster, son of actor Burt Lancaster, was winner of a Writers Guild of America award.
Saturday Night Live did a parody of the film with Matthau as the guest host called The Bad News Bees with John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and the rest in their recurring bee costumes for what would be their final time. This subtly referenced masturbation which was alluded to as "buzzing-off".

Optimization of eradication treatment for chronic gastroduodenitis associated with Helicobacter pylori in children using spore recombinant probiotic based on Bacillus subtilis
Background. The relevance is associated with a significant spread of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) in children in Ukraine. Chronic gastroduodenitis is the main nosology in children associated with Hp, which requires comprehensive treatment, first of all eradication one. To optimize the effective use of eradication schemes, current international recommendations provide for the possibility of prescribing probiotics. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of Subalin probiotic on eradication efficacy and tolerability of anti-Helicobacter therapy in children aged 12–18 years with Hp-positive chronic gastroduodenitis. Materials and methods. Design: a single-center open comparative study. The study included 50 children with Hp-associated chronic gastroduodenitis aged 12 to 18 years. Patients are divided into 2 groups depending on the probiotic administration. The diagnosis was verified using fibrogastroscopy, endoscopic pH-metry, determination of Hp infection. The results were recorded in a specially developed individual patient's chart and statistically processed. Results. The results of using Subalin probiotic in patients of the main group concomitantly with the standard first-line pediatric schemes of Hp eradication in children and adolescents with Hp-positive forms of chronic gastroduodenitis indicate the advisability, effectiveness and prospects of such treatment. This is confirmed by the positive dynamics of complaints, the absence of side effects (including antibiotic-associated diarrhea), and good tolerability of drugs in triple or quadruple therapy regimens against the background of receiving spore recombinant probiotic in the vast majority of patients. Patients from the comparison group also had a positive dynamics in the main complaints, but less pronounced. However, the worsening of tolerability and side effects from standard eradication schemes were significantly more frequent (on average 35–40 %) compared with main group. In addition, administration of Subalin increases by 5 % the efficiency of eradication of standard first-line anti-Hp regimens. Conclusions. The use of spore recombinant probiotic Subalin together with standard eradication schemes in children from 12 years of age is advisable, since it allows increasing the eradication efficiency by 5 %, improving the tolerability of anti-Hp drugs and, accordingly, the adherence of patients to the treatment and recommendations. The possibility of using Bacillus subtilis already at the first stage of treatment helps to optimize therapeutic measures in older children with Hp-positive variants of chronic gastroduodenitis.

The Records Of The Human Emperor Chapter 1452
Translated by: Hypersheep325
Edited by: Michyrr
"Warning! User has encountered an ancient Dragonbeast, a powerful creature left behind from the era of the Yellow Emperor1. These ancient beings are hidden within the obscure riddle of the world. If user escapes the Dragonbeast's attack, user will be rewarded with 10000 points of Destiny Energy. If user kills a Dragonbeast, user will be rewarded with 100000 points of Destiny Energy. If user tames a Dragonbeast, user will be rewarded with 500000 points of Destiny Energy!"
There was a brilliant light in Wang Chong's mind as the Stone of Destiny caught Wang Chong off guard with a mission.
"What? The era of the Yellow Emperor?"
Wang Chong was shocked by these words. He could tell that the beast had an unusual background, but he had never expected it to be connected to the Yellow Emperor.
A beast that could survive for so long was far beyond his imagination.
Wang Chong had no time for deep thoughts, as death was imminent. Although he couldn't see the Dragonbeast, he was well aware that, given its speed, it was probably right in front of him already.
Just as Wang Chong was about to die to the Dragonbeast's foot, in an explosion of debris, Wang Chong vanished like a ghost.
Even the Dragonbeast, a creature with little intelligence, was startled by this sight. Its feet slammed into the ground to stop its forward inertia, and it swiftly turned around and saw that there was now a human-sized hole in the ground where Wang Chong had been standing, leading deeper into the caves.
The Dragonbeast instantly understood what had happened and let out a furious roar.
The cave network here was incredibly extensive. The moment the Dragonbeast had attacked, Wang Chong had gathered up all his energy and blasted apart the rock beneath him, entering the cave down below.
It was a simple idea, but it was not that easy to pull off. One would need to have an accurate understanding of how the caves were laid out in order to succeed.
There were some areas where the rock was so thick that trying to blast through it was suicidal. Attempting to burrow into the ground would just render one motionless.
With its herculean strength, the enormous Dragonbeast copied Wang Chong and blasted through the rocks to pursue.
Dragonbeasts were extremely sensitive to Stellar Energy, and anyone being hunted by one was essentially doomed. But just as the Dragonbeast was about to restart its pursuit of Wang Chong
Boom! As the Dragonbeast, a creature that weighed six to seven thousand tons, emerged in the cave where Wang Chong was located, it suddenly lost its footing. The ground beneath it collapsed, dropping the Dragonbeast straight into the next level of caves.
Wang Chong reacted very quickly and immediately began to flee, at the same time sending one of his clones in another direction to draw the Dragonbeast away. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. That brief moment of exertion had used almost all of Wang Chong's strength.
Wang Chong was constantly adjusting his position in the caves, moving from one to the next to escape the pursuit of the Dragonbeast. But Wang Chong was only treating the symptoms, and a problem would crop up eventually.
I have to find a way to escape the Dragonbeast! The injuries in my body are only getting worse! I can't go on much longer! Wang Chong exclaimed to himself.
The roars, cries of panic, and screams were endless, but it seemed like that Dragonbeast had locked onto his Stellar Energy and had sworn to not rest until it had caught him.
There was a thunderous explosion from the distance as the Dragonbeast finally caught and pulverized Wang Chong's clone.
And Wang Chong sensed that the storm of energy that was the Dragonbeast was now running through the caves and coming at him.
The Dragonbeast, relying purely on its sense of smell and perception of Stellar Energy, had a much greater understanding of this complicated cave network than the martial artists here.
Just where should I go?
Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil. The injuries in his body were getting worse, and if he didn't escape the battle and get a chance to rest, his condition would continue to worsen. But as the Dragonbeast and the vast cloud of Stellar-Piercing Beetles were constantly getting closer, Wang Chong could not afford to stop.
Panicked voices continued to ring out around him, and Wang Chong continued to use these sound waves to fill out the cave network in his mind.
That's the place!
Upon receiving a sound wave, Wang Chong suddenly became elated and began to rush toward an unnoticed side cave.
"We're here!"
A few moments later, Wang Chong saw that the cave around him began to narrow, terminating around twenty meters up ahead in a cave entrance about 1.6 meters tall. Although this was a pitch-black cave like all the rest, it looked like a beacon of hope to Wang Chong.
The Dragonbeast was simply enormous, standing at six to seven meters in height, but this cave was only 1.6 meters tall. It wasn't that small, but for the Dragonbeast, it might as well have been a mouse hole.
The Dragonbeast's body had no way of squeezing through such a small hole. Wang Chong could use it to immediately escape the Dragonbeast's pursuit.
His eyes shining, he rushed into the cave.
Suddenly, crssssh! Rocks and dirt showered down in front of him, and then a massive figure descended and stood between Wang Chong and the cave.
Those crimson eyes were ice-cold and radiating a chill that could freeze even the marrow in one's bones. Wang Chong's eyes instantly went dark.
He had been so close to freedom, but then this Dragonbeast had extinguished his hopes.
Wang Chong's Stellar Energy flow was in utter chaos and he could no longer flee with as much strength as before. And that small cave he wouldn't even be able to reach it unless he killed the Dragonbeast.
Rumble! The Dragonbeast squatted down and then blasted off the ground like a cannonball.
While still in the air, it opened its mouth and unleashed a sea of fire.
Just when it seemed like he was about to die to the Dragonbeast, Wang Chong's eyes suddenly hardened with resolve.
Not only did he not retreat in the face of the Dragonbeast's flame, he lunged forward, pressing himself against the ground and streaking toward the Dragonbeast like a python.
A violet flame suddenly erupted from Wang Chong's body, transforming into a protective barrier around him. Like a thin sheet of paper, he got under the Dragonbeast's belly.
Shwick! Wang Chong had taken something in his hand and cut open the Dragonbeast's stomach.
With a boom, Wang Chong harrowingly shot out from beneath the Dragonbeast and slid into the small cave.
Wang Chong immediately stood up and looked at the Wootz Steel dagger in his hand. The less-than-one-foot blade was dripping with blood.
The Dragonbeast's blood!
When Wang Chong had fallen unconscious in the estate from his cultivation defect flare-up and had been taken away by his master, he had not been able to take his Wootz Steel armor or weapons. Only this dagger, thrust in its ebony sheath and tied to his thigh, had been able to escape this 'disaster'.
But Wang Chong had never liked using daggers, so even though he had it with him, he never used it.
If the Dragonbeast hadn't forced him into desperate straits, he might have never used it.
Kabooom! The Dragonbeast, its stomach cut open, left a thick trail of viscous blood in its wake as it crashed into the cave wall some thirty meters away. Even its head ended up being deeply buried into the rock.
Wang Chong ecstatically stared at the Dragonbeast's 'corpse'. As expected, Wootz Steel weapons lived up to their reputation as the sharpest weapons. Not even the Dragonbeast had been able to stop its edge.
But Wang Chong's happiness did not last for long. A second later, the ground trembled as the enormous body of the Dragonbeast slowly stood back up, and intense flames of energy erupted from its body.
As Wang Chong watched, the Dragonbeast slowly turned around, its savage and dreadful head staring at Wang Chong from a distance of thirty-some meters.
For the first time, Wang Chong felt an overwhelming hatred from this beast.
But what Wang Chong paid more attention to was the Dragonbeast's belly.
Wang Chong's move truly had been effective. A wound more than half a foot deep had been cut across the softest part of the Dragonbeast's belly, and even now, blood was still flowing out from it.
But Wang Chong could find nothing to be happy about, despite the pungent scent of blood in the air.
He could see that the deep wound cut out by the Wootz Steel dagger was closing over. A few seconds later, the wound had completely healed, not even leaving a scar.
"How could this be?!"
Wang Chong's mind was reeling.
The power of Rebirth!
This massive beast not only possessed astonishing strength and the ability to resist Stellar Energy, it also possessed the heaven-defying power of Rebirth. With this power, no matter what sort of tricks Wang Chong pulled or how much effort he put in, he would never be able to hurt this beast.
And it wasn't every day one had a chance to get beneath the belly of a Dragonbeast!
1. The Yellow Emperor is a mythical Chinese figure usually included in a group known as the 'Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors'. He was a tamer of beasts and supposedly taught the early Chinese people how to build shelters and tame beasts, and also apparently invented things like the cart, the calendar, astronomy, and other such things. His given name was 'Xuanyuan'. His reign supposedly lasted for one hundred years, from 2697 BC to 2597 BC.

Another step towards removing digital trade barriers
InfoPowa readers will recall the European Commission (EC) publishing a much-anticipated strategy for a Digital Single Market back in May last year.
Today (Tuesday) the report was approved by MEP's of the European Parliament (EP) 551 to 88, with 39 abstentions, who called on the European Union (EU) to become a leader in the digital economy, fostering jobs, innovation and consumer welfare.
The European Parliament went on to task the European Commission for delivery of concrete proposals on 16 initiatives designed to improve the functioning of the existing Digital Market by the end of 2016, saying a unified European market would bring benefits of Euro 5.6 billion per annum.
Parliament will also co-legislate on equal footing with the EU Council of Ministers on the legislative proposals to boost the Digital Single Market.
Maarten Haijer, secretary general of the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) welcomed the adoption of the report saying: "We applaud that both the European Parliament and Commission have invested significant political attention in the Digital Single Market over the last 12 months.
"We are now looking forward to a swift legislative process that will take away national barriers and ensure that the EU's 500 million consumers have access to European digital products."
The EC has its work cut out and faces substantial challenges in dealing with the current state of national regulation rather than one licence across EU member states.

After a woman is discovered in the Mill House Hotel, strangled with a silver necklace beside a bag filled with faux silver, gold and pearls, costume jewelry dealer Donald Black seems like the obvious suspect. But Lois knows Donald's wife, who runs a baker's shop near the hotel, and can't believe her husband could be a killer. Plus, Donald has an airtight alibi.
Nevertheless, Donald is no angel. It appears he's running a pyramid scheme, and Lois's mother is getting sucked in. Could the murder have anything to do with his unscrupulous business practices?
As Inspector Cowgill and Lois hope the bling may shine a light on the killer, the discovery of a second body on the old waterwheel in the hotel may be grist for the mill in solving the murder—if they can manage to catch the culprit without getting the runaround.
Suspicion at Seven is the latest in my Lois Meade Mystery series, and involves another murder hunt alongside Detective Inspector Hunter Cowgill. The inspiration for this story came to me one day when I was lunching in a restaurant in a converted water mill. I remembered as a child seeing the mill and all its workings and work people were covered with a layer of white. It looked then as if a gigantic flour sprinkler had dusted it ready for the oven!
During lunch, I watched the huge millwheel, glassed in for safety, an attraction for customers, going heavily round and round, dripping slimy green weed..... A plot, surely?
One for Lois Meade, who has become friendly with Aurora Black, an attractive baker from her shop opposite the mill, and it is on a pleasant summer day that the pair decide on lunch after a walk with Jemima, Lois's small terrier, across the water meadows.
Aurora is not entirely happily married to her husband Donald, since he has a wandering eye, and a mistress who helps him with his pyramid jewelery selling and other less innocent occupations. Aurora is also part of the business, and they have one precious daughter, Millie.
A recipe for disaster? The death of a woman in bed in the Mill Hotel is the start of a grim journey through suspicion and finally justice.
For this story, I had ready-made memories of childhood holidays with my Great Aunt Eliza in her village bakehouse in Lincolnshire. I can smell again the heavenly scent of bread baking and feel the heat of the big old stone oven!
