CNHI News Service
DUNCAN, Okla. — The lawyer for a teen accused of first-degree murder in the Aug. 16 drive-by shooting of a college student says the charge is based solely on the flimsy statement of another teen.
Jim Berry, appointed to represent Chancey Luna, 16, said he doubts his client can get a fair trial in Oklahoma given the publicity surrounding the case that has drawn international attention, in part because the victim was an Australian citizen.
"I don't think he can get a fair trial anywhere in the state of Oklahoma," said Berry, "and because of the national publicity, it's going to be hard to get any venue" that is fair.
Prosecutors say Luna fired the .22-caliber revolver that shot Christopher Lane, 22, as he was jogging. Lane, 22, would have been a senior at East Central University in Ada and was visiting his girlfriend in Duncan.
James Edwards Jr., 15, whom prosecutors say was riding in the front passenger seat as Luna fired from the back seat, also faces a first-degree murder charge.
Prosecutors say Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, was driving and tried to cover up the crime. Prosecutors say Jones is the only one who has cooperated in their investigation. He is charged as an accessory.
Albert Hoch Jr., the Oklahoma City attorney appointed to represent Edwards, declined comment because a judge is considering a "gag order" to prohibit prosecutors and defense attorneys from talking publicly about the case. But Berry, interviewed Monday, said the only evidence is Jones' "suspect" statements.
"Just getting them on camera and calling them thugs is not evidence," Berry said in reference to Stephens County District Attorney Jason Hicks' descriptions. "That's as far as they have got it, and that is not evidence. It's totally uncorroborated testimony of an alleged accomplice — that of Jones — and that's not credible."
Berry also questioned police reports that Jones said the teens acted out of boredom when they targeted Lane at random. That's not mentioned in an affidavit filed in connection with the charges, he said.
Berry is planning to ask for the case to be moved from Stephens County to another courtroom in Oklahoma. He said the teens have been convicted "even before they've had their day in court."
"I certainly express my condolences to the Lane family, and this is a tragedy," he said. "But it seems like the media and the prosecutors and the police personnel have swept the presumption of evidence under the rug."

Cub power
Hi All,
Well, yesterday I bought a 1951 Cub. It is in very nice condition. It was said it had been restored about 5 years ago. I'm not sure if the engine are anything else was rebuilt. I did discover that the gen isn't puting out.
A couple of questions I have is:
1. It has been many years since I operated a Cub, but this one seems to not have the power I remember. When running the belly mower in first gear it will barely go up a small grade without bogging down.
2.Also, since the gen dosen't seem to work, I was thinking of converting it to a 12 volt.
What is involved in this? Are there kits out there to do this in a simple way?
1951 Farmall Cub
I bought a '49 last year and had some problems myself with power. Perhaps all you need is a good tune-up. Check compression, timing and also a well tuned and adjusted carb will save you lots of grief. I am very pleased with the '49's ability to push snow. As far as mowing goes, someone else will have to respond as I have never tried to use a belly mower, but I'd love to try.
Just Do It !
EZ is right, you need to go over the tractor and do a tune-up etc. Check the governor to make sure it is working as well.
As far as the 12 volt conversion goes - it's your choice. But most cubs have functioned quite well with 6 volt systems for over 50 years. It is a very basic system and routine maintenance will correct a lot of issues. Good clean connections on the cables and perhaps polarizing the system may be all that is necessary to restore it to a functional system. I'd try that first before considering a conversion.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Try cleaning your main Jet in the carburetor. You can screw it out easily and spray some carburetor cleaner through the small hole in the middle of the screw. My cub was losing power and this cured the problem.
I had the same problem ,
when I first used my Cub with a 59"Woods deck mower ! Not enough power. Go thru the fundamental tuneup, check out proceedure, then make sure the PTO is working properly and "sit back" and be satisified with what you got .That used engine isn't putting out the new power as it used too, so you have to understand that it has limitations. My sole belief is, after mowing with one for 5years , the Cub isn't strong enough to run a mower like it should , espically if you'r lawn is hilly. The newer one , the International, is much better because of it's increased hp.
Pushing snow vs mowing
Pushing snow , with wheel weights and chains is a snap ! It's much easier than mowing espically in high grass. My 6 volt system works fine , a little lazy in starting but once going OK I have a SA with a 12 volt system , it kicks right like "now" , the Cub "growls" a little first before she starts . Leave it original .
Maybe you need to look at the mower as well as the tractor. How much power the mower requires will depend on the grass (height and type), how sharp the blades are and adjustment of the mower. Check into all those items as well as the tractor itself.
Cub Power
Thanks to all for the replies!!
I will try some of the things suggested.
When I was a young teen the Cub I operated didn't have a mower deck, so I'm not familar with what is normal. At only 8.9 hp it seems as asking a lot out it.
It sure is nice to have my hands on a Cub again.
Jusy driving it around the yard brings back a lot of good memories.
1951 Farmall Cub
I forgot to say..........Congratulations on your purchase of a '51 Cub!
These little tractors can give you fits at times but for the most part they are very reliable. I really enjoy mine. Hey, they are not the fastest off the lot, but in my eyes they are the best looking. I just spent a couple hours on mine pushing snow off my and my neighbors driveways. Does a real nice job, smooth as a pooltable.
Get yourself a good manual for service, and good luck with getting it top shape. Any pictures?
Just Do It !
Ron, I bought my Cud about 7yrs ago. Brought it home with a woods 59 mounted underneath it. backed off the trailer and went straight to the yard a mowin in 2nd gear no problem. I know others who said they had to mow in 1st because of the lack of power. Mowing is probably what will extract the most power from it and if anything is marginal like compression, fuel, or tuning it will show up there. Don't worry much about the HP rating. That engine has already outlasted generations of other equipment and will serv for many years to come.
Good choice for a tractor there! Won't send ya to the poor house to get one.....maybe the nut house by owning one though!! There's lots of great tips in the previous posts. I'd say it's best to do them all and then you can be sure each area is working to potential. One or two things off a bit will give poor perfomance for sure. Once you have fuel and electrical gone over; timing is crucial. (new spark plugs are worth their weight in gold too) My Loboy didn't have much UMPH for the 60" belly mower when I first got it. My IH EXPERT down the road came over and adjusted the timing. Mine has the distributer. He adjusted the timing by ear with the tractor at full throttle and the mower engaged. What a difference! I was then able to mow (lawn) in 2nd gear no problem. I totally rebuilt each of the 3 spindles and put on fresh blades and it even did better! I got the bearing races; bearings and seals from Applied ?????Whatever Bearings Inc turned into, and the blades were available directly from Case IH for about 14$ each.
It will be a bit of a challenge to get her purring but after that it's all smiles
Congratulations on your '51. My 1947 is primarily a mower. It has a 4 foot belly mower. Once the tractor is warmed up, it pulls the mower fairly easy in 1st gear. After I get her going in 1st and need to go to 2nd, I just speed shift her. I cut about 2 -1/2 acres of flat lawn. I try to keep the blades sharp and make sure that all of the grease fittings are checked regularly. Last summer after mowing in 2nd for an hour or so, it started to rain slightly. I only had a couple of passes left and wondered what she would do mowing in 3rd. Shifted her up and she took it fine. Would not do this regulary because it is really too fast for mowing and I could see where you could tip easily if you cut a corner too fast.
I did all of the things the other guys have mentioned here and recommend them. I have new plugs, wires, distributor, coil, etc.
Good luck,
That is one of the reasons there is a good market for used transmission gears.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
Some what suprised at the reaction. I am sure not everyone does this, but I have seen it done many times. Even saw a lot of it at the Cubarama last year in the obstacle course competition. I have done it on different tractors when needed. Even got used to double clutching our old 1967 International Pumper in our local fire department. This is not ramming it into second with grinding of gears. It is tapping the clutch and going form 1st to 2nd with the engine, transmission and PTO all going. Usually slides right in and I keep right on going along. If you are grinding a lot of gears then you are doing some damage. I might be doing some too, but it seems to work for me. I would like to hear more from you guys out there who have torn into the transmissions and learn what you have found.
May have to rethink the way I shift

Visiting India is always an interesting experience no matter how frequently one travels there. My first trip to Bangalore was almost 40 years back, as a summer trainee during my undergraduate years. Now the same city looks so different! Concrete jungle is everywhere and the long ride from the airport is a reminder of the growth also. On the flight from London, the Indian gentleman next to me lives in Tampa, but travels to India every 3 months. He runs an empire of Indian companies (distillery, hospitality,..) worth Rupees 6000 Million ($120 Million) with over four thousand employees.
The American lady sitting next to me on the flight back to London says she is with Ernst and Young and will move to Bangalore in January for two years. She grew up in the mid-west and currently lives in Dallas. She will move there with her dog. The rental apartment charges Rs.80,000 per month ($1600) which is exorbitant and higher for foreigners, something I fail to understand. The rental does not include any appliances nor utilities which means it will cost her more than $2000 per month. But she was looking forward to her two years in the E&Y's Bangalore office. India seems so expensive these days, gone are the cost advantage of hiring programming skills. The ratio used to be 4:1 (four programmers for the cost of one in USA). Now it will be less than 2:1, more like 1.5:1.
I saw iPads and iPhones all over the place. Free wi-fi in hotels is expected and service is quite good. In Bangalore the USA does not feel far. Anyone you see at work, travels frequently to US and Europe. IBM India has over 100,000 employees, more than the number in the USA. During my IBM years in Canada and USA, the company had left India (due to its archaic rule of majority ownership by a local company), subsequently started operating the India business out of Singapore. After the 1991 change of policy, IBM re-entered India and has been growing ever since. Even there is an IBM research unit in New Delhi. Oracle started its India operations in 1993 and has big off-shore development groups in Hyderabad.
I had breakfast with a friend who had moved to Bangalore from the bay area two years back. He complained about small day-to-day hassles of living in that city such as – getting a broadband line at home, or getting a credit card at a local bank. These activities which are simple and straightforward in the US, are non-trivial tasks there. Wherever the government bureaucracy gets involved, inefficiency rises quickly. India continues to struggle between the march towards modernity vs the pullback by the old-school politicians and the bureaucrats. My friend plans to head back to the bay area in a year or two.
Getting top-quality skills are as hard there as it is here. The state of Andhra Pradesh produces 200,000 engineers per year, but only 15% get employment. The quality is really bad. It's mass production without depth of knowledge. Some of these youngsters are without jobs for two years after graduation. There seems to be a general slowdown in hiring. The well known services companies are facing a hard time with growth. The start-up culture is quite feeble compared to what we see here in Silicon Valley. Some friends were not very complimentary in their comments on the local VC's and their attitude towards funding early-stage product companies.
Still there was lots of interest in the latest trends – cloud computing, big data, and mobility. As the technology and IT world shifts, India seems slow to adopt to changing trends. Young engineers still pay big money to get SAP, Oracle and Java training. Terms like Hadoop, Dremmel, Pregel, Cassandra, Twitter Storm, etc. are unfamiliar to the local techie conversation. Given the trend towards cloud applications such as Workday, the need for customization and services will be much less (Workday claims an 80% reduction in services cost). Hence the future of many Indian services companies will have to change towards a different value proposition as well.
India will continue to fascinate as always. A land of paradoxes with quick adaptability.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Cloud and Big Data present unique dilemmas: embracing the benefits of these new technologies while maintaining the security of your organization's assets. When an outside party owns, controls and manages your infrastructure and computational resources, how can you be assured that sensitive data remains private and secure? How do you best protect data in mixed use cloud and big data infrastructure sets? Can you still satisfy the full range of reporting, compliance and regulatory requirements? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Derek Tumulak, Vice President of Product Management at Vormetric, will discuss how to address data security in cloud and Big Data environments so that your organization isn't next week's data breach headline.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Every healthy ecosystem is diverse. This is especially true in cloud ecosystems, where portability and interoperability are more important than old enterprise models of proprietary ownership. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mark Baker, Server Product Manager at Canonical/Ubuntu, will discuss how single vendors used to take the lead in creating and delivering technology, but in a cloud economy, where users want tools of their preference, when and where they need them, it makes no sense.

Airflo Speydicator Fly Line
Product Description
Don't let the name fool you; this line is more than a "One Trick Pony." Think versatility; swinging sink tips, "Of course", bobbers "Bring 'em On, overhead "Launch Away." Just one thing- make sure you have enough space on your reel to accommodate the line. 200yds of 20# micron should leave plenty of room on a standard 9/10 reel. And if thats pushing it, cut the last 20' of running line off and weld a new loop, there's plenty there. After all, its polyurethane. Pick up some shrink tubing at Fry's, a seam ripper at Joann Fabrics and buy your wife a new hair dryer. The lines come with a black sleeve that identifies the rear taper. For overhead casting, strip the sleeve into the guides before you cast. For spey casting, hang it right outside the tip. Make no mistake, this line is a workhorse.

"Card was great. The colors happen to go well with several of the photos we chose. Was able to add up to 9 photos which worked really well for us"
"The standard weight paper was nice and heavy and the colors were vivid. The regular delivery arrived before the expected date I am reordering more today! Will definately use tiny prints for my son's engagement party invitations!"
"Everything was great...color, print and design. The delivery time was amazing and I actually have my New Year's cards out the first week of January! Thank you!"
"Excellent quality, sturdy card and envelope. Loved the design and quality of the pictures printed . Came a couple days before expected. Received many complements!"
"This is not your typical sappy and boring holiday card. The colors are brilliant and seem to sparkle. I upgraded the paper and the card stock was top quality, especially comparing the price to the cost of a single card from a boxed set that is not even personalized. This worked well for us because we are a five person blended family with three boys with many interests. The main picture of all of us fit perfectly in the largest box and there were four boxes left to highlight the rest of the year's activities by individual. I also like that it is a New Year's card with a bold saying on it. New Year's cards avoid the whole religious problem some people may have and I didn't feel I had to rush to get the cards out."

Keith Moon Remembered
Friday, September 7, 2012
It was 34 years ago today (September 7th, 1978) that the Who's drummer Keith Moon died at age 32. Moon's death, which was ruled accidental, was caused by an overdose of Heminevrin, a medication prescribed to help alleviate alcohol withdrawals, mixed with alcohol. According to police reports there were 32 pills found in Moon's system, some of which were not yet dissolved. He died while staying in Harry Nilsson's London apartment -- which coincidentally was where "Mama" Cass Elliott had died four years earlier. Moon was survived by his daughter Mandy and his fiancee Annette Walter-Lax.
On August 18th, 1978, the Who released their final album with Moon, called Who Are You. Earlier that month, Moon and Pete Townshend appeared on ABC's Good Morning America to promote the new album. Although Moon was bloated and heavily made up, he tried valiantly to offer a positive spin on the band's future as a live act when asked if he still had the urge to tour: "Yes I would, I enjoy going out on the road very much. But only under certain circumstances and certain conditions. I like to play certain halls and certain towns. Y'know, do a few gigs in London, some in the States."
The night before his death, Moon and Walter-Lax attended a preview of the movie The Buddy Holly Story, thrown by Paul and Linda McCartney, on the eve what would have been Holly's 42nd birthday. According to most reports, Moon, who was drinking white wine, was slightly subdued, in high spirits, and at no point seemed drunk or inebriated in any way.
At the party after the screening, he was photographed talking with McCartney and his future Who replacement Kenney Jones. Jones recalled his last meeting with Moon: "Keith and I just went straight into each other, just talking, 'cause we hadn't seen each other for a while. I said, 'How 'bout you Keith, what've you been up to?" He said, 'Oh, I'm clean, I'm straight, I'm. . .' He was telling me that he'd given up drinking for nearly six months, and he felt so much better."
According to Walter-Lax, Moon had originally not wanted to go out that night in an effort to try to curb his drinking, but did snort a small account of cocaine before leaving their apartment.
Prior to his death, the Who were debating forcing Moon out of the band due to his debilitating alcoholism.
Shortly after Moon's death Townshend told the British press, "Keith's death is something that we expected for 20 years, but when it happens you just can't take it in. I'm very upset. I've lost a man I loved."
Apart from his acrobatic drumming, Moon has gone on to be remembered as one of Britain's quickest wits, often adapting new and off-beat personas, and was known to dress up in character for days on end. Friends were used to watching Moon enjoy a night out on the town dressed as a World War One pilot, a clown, Marilyn Monroe, a nun, Dracula, Adolph Hitler, a gangster, Julius Caesar, a pirate -- or more often than not -- completely nude.
Alice Cooper was Moon's close friend and neighbor during his Malibu years in the '70s, and admitted that Moon's non-stop partying and the mania surrounding his life was exhausting: "Keith Moon was hard day-to-day. He would wear me out. He was always on. He came over and stayed at our house for a week. Y'know, just came over, stayed at the house for a week. And, I mean, there was never a time when I would come in and he'd be sleeping! He was always on: 'Let's go here, let's go there, let's go do this, let's go do that, let's go do this. . . ' And to the point where I would go, 'I can't stay with you. Y'know, I can party with you at night, okay? But during the day. . .' He was like that all day, too! (laughs)." )
Dougal Butler, Moon's closest confidante and road manager, ultimately thinks that Moon's three years living in Los Angeles helped quicken the pace for his early death: "Well, he died about nine months after he got back to London from L.A. -- I would have given him six months, if that. Keith attracted and let people into his so-called 'inner-circle,' all the wrong people in L.A. I'm not trying to give L.A. a bad name -- don't get me wrong; it's a smashing place. But there are some weird and wonderful people down there, then in the '70s."
Pattie Boyd, who was to soon marry Eric Clapton, recalls a typical night out with Moon in the 1970's: "Keith was the most generous person. He was absolutely utterly adorable. I remember once Eric and I picked him up from the Hyatt House (laughs) in L.A. -- I think we were going to a party, and I think it was Led Zeppelin's party. And so we picked up Keith. He was wearing a dress! (I thought) 'Oh Keith, he's just so funny,' I didn't really think too much about it. (Laughs) and he sat in the back of the car with me (laughs) and he started chewing at the headrest, and Eric kept telling him to stop (and) y'know, behave properly. And it was so funny."
In his recent online autobiography, petetownshend-whohe.blogspot.com, Townshend wrote about performing with Moon during the Who's early days, recalling that, "Keith was an eccentric player, and seemed to be showing off all the time, pointing his sticks up in the air and leaning over the drums with his face thrust forward as if to be nearer the front of stage. But he was loud and strong. Slowly too we realized that his fluid style hid a real talent for listening and following, rather than just laying down a beat."
Townshend recalled how Moon's overindulgences rarely showed while performing live with the Who: "He often used to get a bit excited. He was also. . . because he had such a huge adrenalin rush as a drummer on the stage, often -- mostly -- what he took he could overcome with his body chemistry, and then after he came off he would often collapse."
Filming has been indefinitely postponed on the long-awaited Moon biopic, titled See Me Feel Me: Keith Moon Naked For Your Pleasure. The film is being spearheaded by Roger Daltrey, who has been developing the project over the past decade. At the request of Townshend and Daltrey, Mike Myers has said he'll portray Moon. Recently, Entourage star Jeremy Piven has publicly stated that he's very interested in playing Moon on the big screen.
Daltrey told us that he feels that Moon's life was nothing short of cinematic, and wants the film to focus on Moon's offstage life: "I think there's a great film to be made out of the life of Keith Moon. There was. . . He was an incredibly complicated character. I think he was definitely a frustrated genius. I want to show people everything they didn't know about Keith. It's not a band story at all -- it's about a drummer on his days off."
In 2010, Pete Townshend posted on the band's website, thewho.com, that he actually preferred playing with Kenney Jones over Moon, writing in part, "For me, it was great to play with Kenney, someone so disciplined, after years battling to keep Keith Moon in time. At last I could relax and let the drummer keep time. The Kenney years were most enjoyable years of my performing life with the Who. It was hard playing with Moonie, and it is sometimes almost as hard playing with Zak (Starkey) when he tries to emulate Moon. Zak is far better than Moonie technically, although maybe less anarchic -- maybe! Zak respects me. Moon loved me, and exalted me, but he did not seem to respect me when we were onstage together."
Townshend added: "Moon was a brilliant wild card, and much more than a drummer. But playing with Kenney was heaven after dragging Moon through his last, tortuous struggle to play well during the filming of The Kids Are Alright. He almost died of exhaustion that day. I loved Moon the man and Moon the comedian. I wasn't crazy about Moon the drummer. He was great, I won't deny it, the Who would probably not have been so big without Moon, but I would have preferred to have worked with Kenney from the very beginning."

Ok, these two sites were shared with me by our school's STEM teacher...and I thought they were too cool to not pass on....the one above monitors the class noise level with bouncing balls...when everyone's quiet, the balls are still. Here's the {new} link...http://neave.com/bouncy-balls/
These are great tools that will help students collectively self-monitor their noise levels. Don't worry that the microphones are recording your conversation, they are not. They are just using your computer's microphone to pick up the class room noise. And if it doesn't work right away, make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash...you can google, "download latest version of Adobe Flash Player" and get it.
If you haven't checked my TpT store lately, I have lots on new good stuff, so check it out HERE!
Happy Reading! Jen

Cardiac Arrest Symptoms and Causes
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stoppler, MD
Medical Editor: William C. Shiel, Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Cardiac arrest is the sudden loss of cardiac function, when the heart abruptly stops beating. A person whose heart has stopped will lose consciousness and stop normal breathing, and their pulse and blood pressure will be absent. Unless resuscitative efforts are begun immediately, cardiac arrest leads to death within a few minutes. This is often referred to by doctors as "sudden death" or "sudden cardiac death (SCD)."
Ventricular fibrillation is the most common cause of cardiac arrest. Ventricular fibrillation occurs when the normal, regular, electrical activation of heart muscle contraction is replaced by chaotic electrical activity that causes the heart to stop beating and pumping blood to the brain and other parts of the body. Permanent brain damage and death can occur unless the flow of blood to the brain is restored within five minutes. Heart attack is the most common cause of ventricular fibrillation. Less common causes of cardiac arrest include respiratory arrest (loss of breathing function), choking, trauma, electrocution, and drowning.

For the last ten years, the Hodag Bassmasters and the Shawano Red Nek Bass Busters have held their Challenge tournament. Each angler, boaters and nonboaters alike, attempt to bring in their 5-fish limit, just as in any other tournament but this one has a twist.
At the end of the tournament, what counts the most is the average weight per angler.
This was my second experience fishing this annual tournament. The loser of the tournament picks the lake that will be fished the next year. This was my second experience fishing this challenge tournament between the clubs.
Last year we fished on Shawano Lake because the Shawano club lost the challenge the previous year. Last year we, the Hodag Bassmasters, lost. So, this year, we picked Boom Lake and the Rhinelander Flowage as the site for the tournament.
More on fishing: Fishing news from around the state | Your fishing photos | Build a map | Read fishing reports | We're blogging about fishing
Ten anglers made the tournament for the Hodag Bassmasters, and eight for the Shawano Red Nek Bass Busters. At the 2 p.m. weigh-in, the average for the Hodag anglers was 4.84 pounds of bass per angler. The Shawano club put up a battle, but their 4.31 pound average was not quite enough to take the title away for 2013.
As for my fishing day, our boat caught fish on rock points early, and then moved to target wood and slop later in the day.
The largemouth seemed happy to inhale my frog, but many of them were short fish. While I am a member of both the clubs, my weight counted for the Hodag side in this tournament. I was only able to bring less than three pounds to the scales, but at least I was able to help my "home" club win the victory over the opponent.
As tournaments are being set for next year, the Challenge will again be in the first weekend of August, but the Shawano club will decide the lake for 2014. The Challenge is a tournament that both clubs look forward to each year, and, no matter the lake, it's always a great time.
Beckie Joki blogs about bass fishing and bass tournaments including club, jackpot, and open tournaments throughout northern Wisconsin.

Padres acquire Volquez, prospects for Latos
Five-player deal sends right-handed starter Latos to Cincinnati
The Padres added to what was already a deep pool of young talent by acquiring right-handed pitcher Edinson Volquez and three touted prospects from the Reds for right-hander Mat Latos on Saturday.In addition to Volquez, a still-young former All-Star who's 30-18 with a 4.17 ERA and 424 strikeouts in 74 career games, the Padres received righty reliever Brad Boxberger, first baseman Yonder Alonso and catcher Yasmani Grandal. Boxberger, 23, could be of immediate help as the Padres rebuild their bullpen. Alonso, 24, and Grandal, 23, are highly regarded prospects at positions where the Padres already have emerging players. Latos, 24, is considered one of the National League's top young pitchers, striking out 413 and walking 135 in 72 career starts, and having compiled a 27-29 record with a 3.37 ERA. But pitching is a Padres strength, so the club was able to deal him, receiving a young, talented pitcher in Volquez and bolstering the talent level. The Padres already have a top prospect at first base in Anthony Rizzo, and Alonso -- the seventh overall pick in the 2008 MLB First-Year Player Draft and a player who can work in the outfield -- arrives with the same buzz. Behind the plate, 28-year-old Nick Hundley has been making strides toward realizing his potential. The addition of Grandal, a first-round pick in 2010, gives the Padres rare strength in numbers in a position difficult to fill. The Padres, in fact, were deep enough at catching to designate Luis Martinez for assignment in order to stay at the Major League roster limit of 40. Martinez, 26, a strong defensive catcher, hit .203 with one home run and 10 RBIs in 22 games for the Padres last season, when he made his Major League debut. "Our young starting pitching depth allowed us to make a move like this," Padres new general manager Josh Byrnes said in the club's press release. "We've added four credentialed young players who can help us win in the short and long term." Volquez, 28, earned a trip to the All-Star Game in 2008, his first full season. He finished that season 17-6 with a 3.21 ERA, but has struggled since suffering a major elbow injury in 2009. Last season, Volquez started on Opening Day and finished 5-7 with a 5.71 ERA in 108 innings over 20 starts. Observers said that in his final starts he was regaining the high-end velocity that had made him special in the first place. Last season, Boxberger pitched at Double-A Carolina and Triple-A Louisville and went 2-4 with 11 saves, a 2.03 ERA, a .152 batting average against, and 93 strikeouts to 28 walks. He also is another early Draft pick, having been selected 43rd overall out of the University of Southern California in 2009. With the Reds already possessing 2010 NL Most Valuable Player Joey Votto at first base, teams often called in attempts to acquire Alonso, who has hit .293 with 36 home runs, 85 doubles, six triples and 149 RBIs in his Minor League career. He only added to the excitement last year by hitting .330 with five home runs, 14 RBIs and four doubles in 47 games for the Reds. Alonso learned of the trade shortly after arriving in Spain for a vacation.
"I was kind of excited and shocked at the same time," Alonso said. "Cincinnati drafted me, gave me a chance and I went to the big leagues with them. But now I'm with a team that likes me, wants me and I can't wait to be there."
Grandal, like Alonso, is a University of Miami product. He made it to Triple-A last year in his first full professional season. He hit a combined .305 with 14 home runs, 31 doubles, 68 RBIs and a .401 on-base percentage in 105 games at Class-A Bakersfield, Carolina and Triple-A Louisville.

LONDON — If you've ever wondered what happens when you ignore those warnings about pouring grease down the drain, residents of one London suburb have found the disgusting answer.
It's a 16.5-ton, bus-sized glob of fat, known as a "fatberg."
Officials from sewage company Thames Water said improperly discarded food fat and wet wipes congealed to form the massive glob under the streets of a London suburb. It was removed last week.
If it hadn't been removed, it could have led to sewage-flooded homes, streets and businesses, the company said.
"While we've removed greater volumes of fat from under central London in the past, we've never seen a single, congealed lump of lard this big clogging our sewers before," said Gordon Hailwood, waste contracts supervisor for Thames Water. "Given we've got the biggest sewers and this is the biggest fatberg we've encountered, we reckon it has to be the biggest such berg in British history."
The fatberg was 15 tonnes, or roughly 33,000 lbs. (U.S.)
"If we hadn't discovered it in time, raw sewage could have started spurting out of manholes across the whole of Kingston," said Hailwood. "It was so big it damaged the sewer and repairs will take up to six weeks."

Marco Island Travel Tips
Marco Island Beach Rentals
Marco Island vacation rentals have everything you could want from a Florida beach vacation. With seven miles of beautiful Marco Island beach to visit, you'll want to stay right by the sand – and that's where oceanfront Marco Island vacation rentals come in. Stay in Marco Island beachfront condos and the Marco Island beach will be right outside your door, without the high cost of Marco Island hotels. If you plan to take a Marco Island luxury vacation, you don't have to overspend on an expensive hotel; many reasonably-priced Marco Island resorts deliver all the comfort and upscale living you want. Whether you stay in a Marco Island beachfront condo or in Marco Island accommodations a little farther from the shore, you'll have easy access to the waves and to all the entertainment in town. Vacation rentals in Marco Island, Florida, are your best bet for inexpensive, spacious, convenient Marco Island accommodations.
Top Times to Book Marco Island Vacation Rentals
Vacation rentals in Marco Island, Florida, are equally comfortable in summer and winter, since a Marco Island vacation means you'll be seeing good weather year-round. Marco Island has some of the most temperate weather year-round in all of Florida, which makes it a perfect Florida winter getaway or a summertime family vacation destination. Escape cold northern winters by enjoying a Marco Island vacation condo. Most Marco Island activities take place during the fall or winter, so you can watch swamp buggy races or visit local art festivals during these seasons if you take a Marco Island vacation to flee the cold. Marco Island beachfront rentals give you the best views of Marco Island's beautiful falls and summers, too. Summers in Marco Island are perfect, even without as many planned activities, because summer means playing on the Marco Island beach. The average Marco Island tourist is quieter and more laid-back than in most of Florida, which means you can avoid the crush of spring break students to have a relaxing Marco Island luxury vacation instead.
Things to Do Near Marco Island Rentals
If you'd like to venture away from luxurious Marco Island resorts to see the rest of the area, you'll have plenty of entertainment to choose from: shelling or swimming along the Marco Island beach, visiting the nearby Florida Everglades, touring historical sites or enjoying activities like golfing, camping and kayaking. Stay in vacation rentals in Marco Island, Florida, and you'll be right at the heart of one of Florida's most relaxing gems. Marco Island beachfront living simply can't be beaten for its access to the shore, which is Marco Island's biggest draw. If you're taking a Marco Island luxury vacation, complete the experience by dining on local seafood at upscale restaurants, either on-site at the Marco Island resorts or elsewhere along the island. If you're even remotely interested in the wilderness, take a tour around the Everglades, which are conveniently accessible from your comfortable Marco Island accommodations. Head to nearby Naples or Fort Myers, Florida, and you can reach even more shopping, dining and entertainment options, all within easy driving distance of your Marco Island, Florida, vacation rentals.
Transportation to Marco Island, Florida, Condos
You can reach Marco Island, Florida, condo rentals by flying into Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers, which also gives you easy access to Naples, Bonita Springs and Fort Myers itself. Marco Island accommodations are well-situated near the beach, and Marco Island beachfront condos mean that you can walk right to the shore without needing to drive anywhere. If you do need to bring or rent a car, many Marco Island vacation rentals offer space to park so you can ferry your luggage and beach vacation gear from place to place (though you'll have more than enough room to store it in vacation rentals in Marco Island, Florida). Just rent a car and drive on in, and you'll be enjoying the sun and the sand in no time.

Hey, just getting there was a plus.
A Houston-bound flight out of Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport was cancelled on Sunday night, after Kolb took the loss in a game against the Reds. So Sheets, his wife and young son, and Kolb and his father drove to Chicago to catch a flight to Houston, which got them on the ground just before 1 a.m. CT.
"Yesterday was the first day [my dad] saw me pitch in the big leagues," Kolb said. "It obviously wasn't the best day."
Kolb pitched the ninth inning of a tie game and surrendered three runs on three hits including home runs by Jason LaRue and Wily Mo Pena. The Brewers lost, 9-6.
The surprising slip boosted Kolb's ERA from 0.82 to 1.62 and it snapped one of the more remarkable streaks in baseball this season: Kolb had not allowed an extra-base hit in 35 previous appearances this season.
"This is a totally separate thing," Kolb said of his All-Star experience. "It's something I'm going to enjoy. I've been out on the field plenty of times during the last year and a half, but this is going to be different today. Yesterday is yesterday."
Some of the Reds' All-Stars were still talking about Sunday.
"That's amazing, man," Cincinnati closer Danny Graves said of Kolb's avoidance of extra bases. "That's kind of unheard of to go through this long of a season to not give up an extra-base hit. Not even a flare double? It's easy to give those up. It was definitely a great run for him."
Reds first baseman Sean Casey called it "ridiculous."
"The bottom line is that it's nice to see Dan Kolb here at the All-Star Game because he's got great stuff," Casey said. "He had it last year, too. He's flat-out nasty. I'm not surprised that no one got an extra-base hit off him."
Kolb's trip to Houston was far more complicated than Sunday's airport snafu. He was one of the Texas Rangers' more promising pitching prospects in the late 1990s, but a three-year run of elbow and shoulder injuries put his career in doubt.
In Milwaukee, he got a second chance. Brewers general manager Doug Melvin, who had connections to Kolb from Texas, offered a minor league deal prior to the 2003 season. By July, Kolb was the Brewers' everyday closer. A year later, he is 47 for 50 in save opportunities.
"I was lucky that I had [the injuries] when I was young," said Kolb, now 29 and a first-time All-Star. "Now I do all of my shoulder [workouts] all the time, all of my elbow stuff. ... You eliminate the fear by taking care of your body as soon as the season starts and during the season."
Or, at least you limit the fear factor.
"I don't think it ever goes away," Kolb said. "I have to go out there and go after it the way I always do and if I get hurt, it happens. I wouldn't say the fear is major or anything, I think it's in the back of your head. It's not in the front anymore."
Kolb is a big part of the Brewers' surprising success this season as is Sheets, who at 25 years old has evolved into one of the National League's most dominant starters.
Sheets is the first Brewers starting pitcher ever to repeat as an All-Star and Sheets and Kolb combine for the first pair of Brewers pitchers ever to be invited to the same All-Star Game. Only one Brewers pitcher has ever earned an All-Star decision; Rollie Fingers took a loss in the 1981 Midsummer Classic (and is the only Brewers pitcher ever to give up any runs).
Sheets' eight shutout innings in Saturday's 5-0 Brewers win lowered his ERA to a league-best 2.26 and he ranks fourth with 133 strikeouts.
"There's a little Nolan Ryan there with his curveball," said former teammate and current Padres All-Star Mark Loretta. "Ben has one of the, if not the, best curveball in baseball. The classic 12-to-6 curve."
In other words, the Brewers finally have their ace. Sheets is 9-5 this season in 18 starts, including an 18-strikeout game in May and a near-perfect game in June.
"I don't know if [my career] was up and down because I didn't really dominate any games," said Sheets, who was a rookie All-Star in 2001 and has won 11 games in all three of his big-league seasons.
"It was just kind of average the last two years. Most of my games were like six or seven innings, giving up three or four [runs]. It was never the seven scoreless."
Sheets is more interested in talking about the Brewers' team success. Despite losing three of four to the Reds to close out the first half, the Brewers are 45-41, 2 1/2 games behind San Francisco in the early NL Wild Card race.
"One through 25 we have a better team, and that's the big thing," Sheets said. "You can be top-heavy, you have to be good all the way down."
