As recently as last July, The Derek Holland Era was in grave danger of being razed to the ground.
That's a weird statement to make, really, because none of what we'd seen up to that point nor what we've seen in the eight months since – the 3.06 second half ERA, Game 4 of the World Series, the shiny new contract, his endearing yet exceptionally mediocre attempt at meteorology – represents anything beyond a preamble to The Derek Holland Era.
The Derek Holland Era, as prophesized, does not crest with one transcendent pitching performance, or a mere dozen starts of excellence. It spans scores of them, each season weaving another batch of threads into the tapestry of a genuine game-changing ace that becomes synonymous with the club itself. All-Star nods intertwine with Cy Young votes; complete game shutouts with playoff series-clinching starts. The Derek Holland Era is the bridge between the organization's woeful past and its radiant future, hope and glory, World Series runners-up and World Series champions. Or at least it will if everything goes to plan.
Therein lies the rub.
As described, The Derek Holland Era may mean nothing to you. For as much acclaim as Holland earned in his trek from junior college nobody to top class pitching prospect, he has never been made out to be a savior on the level of a Stephen Strasburg or Matt Moore, an uberprospect nestled in an aura of infallibility. We don't expect him to fail – largely because nobody ever anticipates their team's prospects coming up short – but it's always been within the realm of possibility.
Yet if you care about this baseball team, if you're far more intimately acquainted with the scalding desert of its irrelevance than the new-found oasis of hope that is the past two years, you know the tale well by one name or another. You know it because the story is as old as the franchise itself – its own Christmas Past (The David Clyde Era), Present (The DVD Era), and Future (The Martin Perez Era).
The fraught, fruitless search for a homegrown star to perch atop the rotation is the defining motif of the Rangers' existence, a struggle that is as much about trying to measure up to the franchises that have historically kicked them in the teeth as it is actually locating that tantalizing component.
Only Kevin Brown came close to realizing it in Texas; fittingly enough, The Kevin Brown Era never began in earnest until he joined one of baseball's haves, the Dodgers.
Intrinsically, The Derek Holland Era doesn't matter any more or less than its failed cousins and future heirs because, more than anything, it is an idea and a romantic one at that. Fact is, this team won consecutive pennants with a hired gun and a converted closer as the faces of its rotation and while that isn't necessarily the most sustainable strategy out there, it got better results than anything else the Rangers tried.
Between its well of prospects, savvy front office, stellar pitching coach, and truckloads of revenue – both from a staggering TV deal as well as their moneybags owners – the Rangers have greater means than ever before to construct a rotation beyond the straight draft-and-develop track.
But, in the context of both the team on the field and the organization at large, there is an argument to be made that The Derek Holland Era carries an importance unlike any before it – which is a rather grandiose thing to say, of course, but no more grandiose than assigning a pitcher with a career 4.73 ERA his own epoch in history.
The difference? Moreso than was the case for any of Holland's predecessors, expectations have coalesced with dependence. Make no mistake: if the Rangers have any hope of returning to, much less winning, the World Series, somebody in the rotation has to become an ace on the level of Cliff Lee or at least provide a reasonable facsimile on par with C.J. Wilson.
Realistically, Holland offers the best hope of becoming that guy this season. It isn't just about what he does, with that easy velocity and a rediscovery of the outstanding command he flashed in the minor leagues – highlighted by a greater than 3-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio in that second half stretch – or his seemingly unflappable demeanor on the mound.
It's also about what he has that his rotation-mates don't – experience dealing both with major league hitters and the searing Texas heat (Yu Darvish), a propensity for keeping the ball in the park (Colby Lewis), efficiency (Neftali Feliz), and proven mettle in pressure situations (Matt Harrison).
Holland's beast of burden is consistency; he's tended to be awe-inspiring or atrocious, with scant in-between. His most recent stretch of baseball, though, doubles as his finest, the first in which he's finally channeled his considerable talent on a consistent basis; given his talent and age (25), it's much more indicative of the maturation of a young starter than any flash in the pan. If there's a time to truly believe in the legitimacy of The Derek Holland Era, this is it.
But it's bigger than just this year's Texas Rangers and that very concept – belief – is why. Because for all the considerable good this front office has accomplished since Jon Daniels' installation as general manager, the one thing they've failed at time and again is the same thing every other group in charge of this franchise has failed at: grooming that ace-caliber starter from within.
There is no denying that this group has done more to augment the rotation than its predecessors, ranging from plucking bullpen arms (like Wilson and Alexi Ogando) to acquiring other teams' prospects (like Harrison) and even to the unprecedented boomeranging of its own failed top prospect back from Japan (The Colby Lewis Era, anyone?).
Developing its own prospects from start to finish, however, has been a disaster. Its first generation of blue chip arms, John Danks, Edinson Volquez, and Thomas Diamond (also known as DVD), never made a dent in Texas for reasons good (trading Volquez for Josh Hamilton), bad (flipping Danks, a ground-ball inducing lefty perfectly suited for Arlington, for McCarthy, a fly-ball righty that predictably got destroyed in the Ballpark's cramped dimensions) and ugly (Thomas Diamond's career-derailing spate of injuries).
The second generation – the alliterative trio of Kasey Kiker, Blake Beavan, and Michael Main – fared even worse, with Beavan clinging to the majors as a back-end arm in Seattle while Kiker and Main have yet to crack Triple-A in multiple organizations and are all but finished as prospects.
Holland and Feliz – acquired in the Mark Teixeira trade but in the Rangers system since A-ball – represent the third generation and, frankly, another test case in questionable development. That's appropriate terminology for the team's perpetual back and forth over whether Feliz is a starter or closer.
This creates issues even before delving into the imbroglio of whether his annual spring training yo-yoing between the two was behind his DL stint last season, or if it will be a problem going forward. Still noticeably devoid of a dependable secondary offering or command, he's very much a work in progress as anything beyond a late-inning fireballer.
As for Holland, we're hardly eight months removed from the Rangers' July near-razing of its best bet in years of actually becoming that fabled homegrown ace. The club alternately floated Holland in trade rumors and toyed with throwing him back in the bullpen to give more opportunities to glorified fifth starter Tommy Hunter. Only when Holland forced their hand by tossing back-to-back complete game shutouts did they back off, inadvertently kick-starting the drive that led to the recent five-year commitment that cements him as a franchise cornerstone.
Certainly, an element of blame falls on the Dutch Oven's shoulders for not performing at a high enough level to stave off such deliberations in the first place, but it nevertheless raises an eyebrow that the club was willing to write off, either on a temporary or permanent basis, the development of such a valued asset after around a season and a half of major league starts.
In that vein, the success or failure of The Derek Holland Era will be referendum on the legacy of the front office as much as his own career. This is the last hurdle the organization has to overcome from a development standpoint, the one parcel of terrain they haven't been able to conquer as they transform the Rangers from the have nots they've always been to the haves they so desperately want to be.
If they fail with him, why should anyone continue to expect they can achieve it after botching three consecutive generations of pitching prospects? Why should we believe in The Martin Perez Era or The Neftali Feliz Era or the Neil Ramirez Era or any Era at all if they can't succeed with a pitcher more polished than all of them, and one with comparably fearsome stuff?
The common denominator among every perennial contender – not the ones with a great two-year stretch, but the ones who have their division on lockdown for presidential terms at a time – is frontline starting pitching, and the most efficient way to acquire it is by cultivating your own; if the Rangers can't do that, how seriously can we really take the cachet they've earned from pundits galore as baseball's model franchise?
As with any prospect, promise at some point must blossom into performance. In both the near term and the long haul, then, the Rangers' viability depends on The Derek Holland Era becoming something more than just an idea in abstraction like all its antecedents.
If it doesn't, there may be a ways yet before this team ultimately becomes the darling so many think they already are.

1) Choose current favorites that are lower in carbs.Turkey is obviously the low-carb star of the meal. There might be vegetables or relishes which are family favorites and don't have a lot of starch or added sugars. Think back through holidays past and resurrect the least carby side dishes.
2) Consider scaling back some of the traditional side dishes.Did you know that plain roasted yams with salt, pepper and butter are really delicious even without a pile of marshmallows on top? Instead of a rich vegetable casserole, how about a simpler vegetable side dish, such as green beans with almonds? Have a simple sauteed mushrooms and pepper dish, or a salad with a cranberry vinaigrette dressing.
3) Serve low-carb, high-flavor nibbles first.If you decide to eat more carbohydrates than usual, consider holding off until you get to the table. Use vegetables with dip, cucumber rounds instead of crackers for spreads, and peanuts or other nuts instead of chips. For an easy holiday favorite, try these Five Minute Sweet and Spicy Pecans.
4) Prepare a low-carb relish tray for the table.The following are good choices: dill pickle spears or chips, sugar-free gherkins or bread and butter pickles (Mt. Olive is one brand), olives, marinated artichokes, Italian hot peppers (make them sweeter by adding some sugar substitute to the brine), roasted red peppers, radish blossoms, baby carrots, and celery sticks.
5) Make a list of "must haves" for your Thanksgiving table.Make a list of the foods you simply cannot do without. Now, can you "de-carb" any of them? Here are some lower-carb versions of traditional favorites. All my recipes are gluten-free as well as being low-carb, so they are safe for people who can't eat wheat or gluten. I've noted steps that can be done ahead of time to lighten the load on Thanksgiving Day.

Let me explain – because of course I don't enjoy the misfortune of others.
In some respects the advent of new technology has been a backward step for photographers, for the simple reason that it is so boring and dull to look at. Politicians, and company results press conferences, have always presented a challenge to the creative photographer because they are often visually unexciting. But trying to find a hint of expression, when the financial markets head south these days, is a nightmare, because the computer screen has taken over the traditional trading floor.
Which is why it was such a pleasure to see Brendan McDermid's photographs last week, of the floors of the New York Stock Exchange and the New York Mercantile Exchange, where traditional looking traders displayed traditional reactions, in a traditional setting.
Yes, new technology does have some advantages. No, there is no pleasure in seeing financial markets crash. But it's just great to see a financial story illustrated with genuine emotion, and something that we, as human beings, can identify with.

The Backyard Prisoner: The Story of Jaycee Dugard
Nancy Garrido: Another Victim or Another Monster?
The Garridos had settled in the house just outside Antioch belonging to Phillip's mother, who suffered from dementia which ultimately led to her hospitalization. A former nursing assistant, Nancy Garrido spent years taking care of her elderly, ailing mother-in-law, while the abducted Jaycee — and, eventually, Jaycee and Phillip's daughters — lived among the motley collection of tents and sheds in the overgrown backyard. When a drugs-related parole violation sent Phillip back to jail for six weeks, Nancy was the one in charge.
Colleagues at the nonprofit Contra Costa ARC, where Nancy helped adults with developmental disabilities, called her a competent coworker. Neighbors and customers at Phillip's printing business thought she was an unusually quiet, deferential wife, maybe even a hermit. She never had children of her own.
Was she under her erratic husband's control, or was she as rotten as he was? Nancy cried when she was arraigned — were these tears for the girl, or for herself? Prosecutors allege that she, not just Phillip, had participated in the sexual abuse of Jaycee.
In addition to his wife's consent, tacit or explicit, to his actions, Phillip Garrido also turned his checkered past into an opportunity to cloud the true, horrible situation from his community. When concerned neighbors realized that there was a registered sex offender in their midst, Garrido convinced them that he was only on the sex offender list because his vengeful ex-wife had falsely accused him of raping her.
So the secret endured — though authorities had repeated opportunities to uncover it.

· What CF Card For 1DX
I am still sorting out how to best use my 1dx
So far the only real issue seems to be with the CF cards. I had been using four 32GB 266X Kingston ultimate 266x cf cards in my 1d4 with no issues. The first time I used the 1dx I had to return to my computer and reformat the cards after I captured two images and on the third try after switching from ME to AD I got an error telling me to replace the CF card.
I put a CF card in my 7d (inside a Natuicam housing getting ready for a Mexico dive trip) and the CF card worked fine. When I put the card in the 1dx to play around with PW for a flash test same thing. Two shots OK at 1/250 but when I bumped up to 1/4000 got the card read error. Switched the cards and no problem at 1/4000 with the PW and 580.
I am not a CF wizard but have never had issues with cards in my 20d, xti, 7d, 1d2, or 1d4, but the 1dx has produce more card reading errors than all these bodies combined.
Any advice welcome.

Well first off, sorry youre having problems trying to use your brand new camera. I dont have any real good answers for you but the speed at which a shot is taken should have NO effect on the transfer to the card. I could be wrong but the way data is transferred, I dont think so. Have you tried all 4 cards? Do you have anyone close that you could try their cards? Are you loading up both CF slots? I would try one card at a time, in each slot. I would also leave the PW off, no need to introduce anything else into the equation. Im using a Sandisk 16GB Extreme and a Transcend 16GB 400x in mine without any problems. Ive had problems with CF cards over the years and found Sandisk & Transcend to be reliable for me, so thats what I use.

I think everyone thinks the Lexar 1000x are the best performers for the 1Dx at the moment. I'm just getting by with my Transcend 400x and Photofast 533x at the moment, I haven't found any issues with them yet (except they aren't as fast as the Lexar 1000x).

Very odd - cant think of any "IT" data type issue that should cause this based on shutter speed - only perhaps if your taking a number of quick exposures.
Can you continue taking shots with the 1dx at 1/250 without issue ? ie. its just a 1/4000 issue...
If so, I guess there could be a difference in the way the camera handles the file. (variable transfer speed dependant on shutter speed, which is running over the buffer 'grab' capability of the card).....thats a wild guess.

· What CF Card For 1DX
Since the 1dx is so new I don't have answers to some of these questions.
Currently I am more concerned with getting ready for a dive trip to Mexico than sorting out CF issues with the 1dx.
The thing is the two times I have gone shooting with the 1dx it has worked just fine. But when I start testing by changing things around I seem to get card reading errors.
Once I reformat the card on my PC and then reformat it in the 1dx things work fine again.
But I do notice the red light seems to stay on much longer when I insert a card in the 1dx than when I insert it into the 1d4, or my other bodies.
I am sorta wondering if the 1dx does something different when you insert a card than when you insert a card in other Canon bodies. Normally there is the sensor cleaning message for a second or two, then the red light comes on briefly in my other cameras, but with the 1dx the red light stays on longer than the sensor cleaning message.

Short update.
I am spending most of my time upgrading my underwater imaging skills using a Nauticam housing for my 7d.
It seems like if I format a CF card in a non 1dx body and try to use that card in the 1dx I need to format the card on a PC and then format the card on the 1dx to avoid problems. When I do this before I use that CF card in a non 1dx body I have to do the same thing.
Is anyone switching CF cards between 1dx bodies and non 1dx bodies and experiencing problems, or not experiencing problems.
Also does anyone know if the way Canon formats CF cards in camera has changed with the introduction of the 1dx.
I am still happy with the 1dx IQ wise, but so far it seems I have to spend more effort keeping track of my CF cards than I use to.

Get a good quality and fast UDMA card to play with and use, and see if your issues go away. Could be a camera problem, but it is more likely a card issue. I have not had and problems of any kind with my 1DX, but I only have about 3000 shots on it so far. All my cards are Sandisk UDMA of various speeds, and no issues at all.

I am using San Disk Extreme Pros in the 1Dx, and have encountered no problems. However, I had what may be a variation of your issue with the 5D3. I used a new San Disk Extreme Pro in the 5Diii. It worked great. Then I tried to use the same card in a 1D4, and upon insertion got an error message telling me to use another card. The 1D4 would not format it. Put it back in the 5D3 and it formats and works perfectly.
So far I haven't bothered to try formatting it on the computer, I've just left dedicated to the 5d3. Looks like maybe some kind of backwards compatibility problem once the media have been used in the newer model? Strange. I'll try the cards used in the 1Dx in a 1DIV and see if a similar issue arises.
Update: The card in the 5Diii is a San Disk Extreme Pro SD card. It works fine in the 5D3, but neither the 1D4s nor an old 1D3 can format it. They recognize the card and see it as unformatted (?), but formatting it fails. The same brand and size CF cards used in the 1Dx are accepted in the 1D4 and 1D3, format fine and the cameras will write to them.

I use a 32GB SanDisk Extreme Pro in my 1DX and it has yet to slow it down. It's amazing to me to see how I can fill up the buffer of the camera, then watch how fast it finishes dumping them all to the card. It's only a few seconds, and that is a LOT of data. For that reason alone I'm surprised the battery lasts as long as it does, it takes a lot of processing power to do that that quickly.

I just put a set of Lexars in my new 5D3. A 1000x 16GB UDMA7 and a 600x 16gb SDHC. So far so good. Haven't shot much yet, but also haven't had any issues. B&H got them right out. Good price as well. I figure that will get me started. They ship quickly as well.

People are discussing CF brands, but it seems to me that you pointed out the problem in your posts: You pointed out that it doesn't work when you format on the PC. And you later pointed out that it works when you format in the 1Dx. Problem solved? Conventional wisdom, which I think is frequently more urban legend than actual wisdom, is to always format the card in the camera.
There might be some glitch the hardware on your PC: trying a different cable and reader would help narrow that down. And just once in a blue moon you can sometimes get different interpretations of what the drive format is supposed to be, which can lead to incompatibilities (and urban legends). If there really is a camera issue here then likely it'll get fixed in a future firmware update to the 1Dx.
Don't let that stop you from getting a better card. But if you have the same problems once the new cards arrive, see above.
And even though it shouldn't matter where I format, I still format cards in-camera, but for these reasons: formatting in camera allows me to be sloppy in removing the card from the computer: I don't need to go through the eject process, just yank it. And I find it faster to access the Format option on the camera than on the PC.

My suggestion is to have cards specific to each camera. Why switch cards from one camera to another. This way you avoid any potential problems. I have never switched a card from one camera to another.
In regards to CF card choices, I'm surprised that a 1dx owner would use such slow memory cards. You should upgrade to at least the newer UDMA Transcend 400x cards. Lars shows test results here:
The 32gb cards are $52 on Amazon.
Of course the Lexar 1000x cards are the top dog, but are quite pricey.
Just for increased transfer speed (regardless of the increased buffer clearing) makes the Transcends worth the upgrade.

Christopher Weigl's death in a bike accident was indeed tragic, and need not have occurred. However, blaming "horrid city planning," Boston University's inadequate planning for students' safety, and the absence of a "safe zone for cyclists," as three Dec. 8 letter writers did, misses the root problem not only in Massachusetts but in the nation.
People have forgotten the concept of taking responsibilty for one's own actions. Too many have become accustomed to looking to government (here, the city of Boston) or someone else (BU) to fix, or protect them from, things that should be handled on their own.

Major New York Times Op-Ed Article Urges High Line Reuse as Public Open Space
On Sunday, November 2, 2003, the

To read the op-ed article,

The article was remarkable both for the elegance of Jackson's essay and the beauty of accompanying photographs by Abelardo Morell. The photos and text together occupied the majority of the op-ed page, which is one of the most influential opinion pages in any American newspaper.
We still need your help. The preservation and reuse of the High Line is not yet a done deal, as Jackson noted in his essay. Friends of the High Line needs to secure an endorsement from the State of New York, a federal approval, and millions of dollars for rehabilitation and construction. That's why press support like this op-ed article is so important – and why your support is so important.
"The High Line can be another story of redemption in New York," writes Jackson, comparing the conversion of the High Line to the renovation of the Tweed Courthouse. Please help us make Jackson's words come true – by making an

Rail-Banking Update: STB Grants Abeyance
October 2, the City of New York filed a request to the Surface Transportation Board (STB) to hold in abeyance STB action regarding the "rail-banking" of the High Line while the City holds discussions with affected stakeholders to resolve outstanding issues. The STB has granted the request, giving the City until January 5, 2004, to come back to the Board.
What does this mean? As many of you know, "rail-banking" the High Line (converting it to public open space through federal rails-to-trails legislation) requires approval from the STB, which has jurisdiction over all interstate rail lines. In December 2002, the City of New York formally started the process by filing a request with the STB for a Certificate of Interim Trail Use (CITU) for the High Line. A group of underlying property owners contested the legality of a CITU in this particular case, and the matter was the subject of a July 2003 hearing by the STB in New York City. By requesting the abeyance, the City hopes to engage in discussions with the affected stakeholders, including FHL, the railroads involved, relevant State agencies, and underlying property owners, with the aim of coming back to the STB with consensus. FHL will continue to keep you informed about the progress of this important issue.

E.O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
|Laboratory UCLSB prototype with 5 cm internal diameter, firing at a rate of 15 kilowatts. This burner is made entirely out of plastic components to showcase its unique lifted flame feature.
- Commercial HVAC Systems
- Industrial Boilers
- Distillation Columns
- Water Heaters
- Furnaces
- Clothes Dryers
- Power Generators
- SAFETY: Broad operating range of the fuel-to-air ratio limits risk of blow-off and flashback
- FUEL EFFICIENCY: Improved fuel efficiency dependent on application
- NOx EMISSIONS: Ultra-low NOx emissions
- OZONE PRODUCTION: Ultra-low NOx means ultra-low ozone production.
- MANUFACTURABILITY: Low tolerance parts, Reynolds number scaling not necessary
ABSTRACT: Burners are used in industry for a wide range of applications including water heaters, power generators, boilers, and HVAC systems. Parallel consumer applications include gas-fired home water heaters, heating systems, and clothes dryers. Natural gas is more efficient and less expensive than electricity and is the current and future fuel of choice. However, conventional gas burners emit oxides of nitrogen (NOx) creating ozone in the lower atmosphere due to incomplete fuel combustion and high temperature operation.
Robert Cheng at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory originally developed a weak swirl burner as a better way to stabilize flame for scientific study. As with many purely scientific investigations, the resulting device is a better performer than those commercially available. The new burner produces almost no NOx, the chemical responsible for ozone in the lower atmosphere. The shape and temperature of the flame are responsible for the improvement, but the actual result will be device dependent. The simplicity of the new design eliminates device scaling and tolerance problems thereby aiding manufacturability. The design could replace most medium and small scale burners with flame temperature requirements below 2,600deg.F.
Market Driver: NOx is responsible for the dirty brown air over most U.S. cities. More than 100 U.S. cities have unsafe ozone levels that exceed federal health standards. Many cities are considering limiting installation of new conventional gas burners. Government energy-saving incentives and pollution control regulations like those for efficient lighting and auto emissions should cause the market to grow at a rapid pace.
STATUS: U.S. Patent #5,735,681 and #5,879,148. Available for licensing.

Wilson's Mills native and Smithfield-Selma High graduate Jerry Sands got his first hit as a Tampa Bay Ray Thursday, driving in a run with an RBI single in the Rays' 11-6 loss to Miami. Sands came on as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the sixth inning.
He got the call up to Tampa Bay May 31 and has played in three games since, going 1-for-6.
Sands, an outfielder and first baseman, was hitting .288 with the Durham Bulls in Triple-A before the call up. He had nine home runs and 36 RBIs in 54 games.
He's playing with former Johnston County rival Chris Archer of Clayton in the Major Leagues for the first time. Archer was 3-3 with a 3.73 earned-run average through 12 starts for Tampa Bay.
The Rays have struggled of late, dropping 10 straight games at one point this month.
Jernigan drafted by Padres: South Johnston High School grad Logan Jernigan was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 15th round of the Major League Baseball Draft Friday. Jernigan, a junior pitcher at N.C. State, led the Wolfpack with six wins this season, going 6-3 with a 3.90 earned-run average. He was 12-5 in his three-year career in Raleigh.
The Padres made the 6-foot-3, 201-pound right-hander the 447th overall pick in the draft. He can sign with the Padres anytime until July 18. If he elects not to sign, he can return to N.C. State for his senior season next spring and be drafted again next summer.
Davis, Harrison are NCAA track favorites: Davis, Harrison are NCAA Track favorites: Raleigh's Wayne Davis III and Clayton's Keni Harrison are among the favorites entering this week's NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
Harrison became the first athlete to sweep the 100- and 400-meter hurdle Southeastern Confererence Championships last month in 15 years. She won the 100 in 12.86 seconds and the 400 in 54.76 seconds. The former Clayton High standout has won three SEC championships this school year. (She won the 60 indoor title in March.)
Harrison is seeded second in the NCAA Outdoor 400 field.
Davis, a Southeast Raleigh grad and the defending NCAA champion, broke the Texas A&M school record in winning the 110-meter hurdles at the NCAA West preliminaries. He finished in 13.20 seconds, lowering his own school record.
Hinnant to State Games: Clayton junior baseball player Cole Hinnant has been named to the Region 3 team for the Powerade State Games High School Baseball Showcase. The event is set for June 18-22 at UNC Charlotte, BB&T Ballpark (Charlotte) and Hopewell High School. The High School Baseball Showcase pits the best 20 underclassmen players from eight North Carolina regions against each other to battle it out in front of over 80 college and professional scouts for the gold, silver and bronze medals.
The Region 3 team includes Wake, Johnston, Durham, Orange and 10 other counties in the north central part of the state.
Pierson shines at Blue-Grey Regional Combine: Corinth Holders junior linebacker David Pierson was a standout at the Blue-Grey Regional Combine at Proehlific Park in Greensboro earlier this month. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound prospect was noted for his solid numbers in several drills in the Carolina Scouting Report at bluegreyfootball.com. Pierson ran a 4.75-second 40-yard dash and had a shuttle time of 4.7 seconds. He registered 20 reps in the bench press.
Locals place in Jordan Lake tourney: Clayton angler Drew Johnson teamed with Wendell native Gill Young to finish second in the Boats Unlimited N.C. Team Tournament Bass Trail event at Jordan Lake recently. The duo totaled a five-fish limit catch weighing 21.32 pounds and won $605.
The Four Oaks team of Stewart Adams and Scott Dunn finished sixth. Clayton's Richard Cooper was on the eighth place team and Tony Woodard of Apex was ninth.

Hollywood can make movies about the cold as much as they want, but few starlets have ever felt what we're experiencing right now in Chicago. Vanessa Hudgens did just that on Monday.
Hudgens was in town to promote her new movie, and apparently had no idea what she was in for when she landed during one of the coldest days of the past 20 years.
It just proved that when it comes to cold weather, Tinseltown would rather stick to special effects.

6 Weeks to a Younger You: Week 4
August 31, 2011 at 7:05 am , by Julie Bain
Do you feel younger yet? We're in week four of our six-week push to a younger you, and we have weighty matters to discuss!
In previous weeks, we've been challenging ourselves to move more by measuring our steps with a pedometer and getting our heart rate up with some interval training. That's great, but we've got to add in some resistance exercise to keep our bones strong and build lean muscle. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn!
That's why I keep these six-pound hand weights in my bedroom. I can do my bicep curls and squats while watching how well the new celebs cha-cha and samba on this season's Dancing With the Stars. (I'll be rooting for Chaz Bono, and let's face it: he needs to shape up a little.) Or I can go out on my terrace in the gorgeous morning light and knock out three reps of 10s before the coffee has dripped. Join me! See four easy exercises here.
You know when celebrities shape up for an action movie and talk about their regimen? They always say they cut back on carbs and pump up the lean protein. A lot of women normally do the opposite. This week, try to get some protein at every meal. That could be eggs or Greek yogurt for breakfast, a big salad with chicken or tofu and a sprinkle of cheese for lunch and some lovely grilled fish for dinner, for example. If you're vegetarian, it can be harder to get enough, so you should pay even more attention to your intake. Try to eat 120 to 140 grams of protein a day. Here's a good chart to help you figure out how to get there.
We're still cleaning up here in the Northeast from hurricane Irene, and almost everyone I know is sleep deprived right now. You may be, too, even if your weather has been perfect. Most American women don't get nearly enough shut-eye to keep their brains in good working order. Make it a priority this week. Wind down early, avoid caffeine and alcohol, keep the room cool and dark and aim for at least seven hours. I co-wrote a sleep book just for women (with author Ellen Michaud; you can buy it here). It's full of great tips—best book I've ever read on the subject!
Ladies' Home Journal truly believes in the power of doing good. Turns out, if you help others, it makes you feel younger, too! We have lots of good resources to get you started. Cheers to a younger you!

I need to find a way in my application code to detect that the nokia JS map API code has been loaded into the browser. With other maps API such as google maps, I can attach a callback function to the end of the Script URL like:
where the function myApp.finishLoadGoogleJs() is part of my application code, but is invoked as soon as the google JS api library finishes loading, so my app can do some initialization based on this notification.
I urgently need to figure out a way to do the same with the Nokia JS URL:
If no such callback mechanism is currently in place, is there any known/public Nokia map object that I can detect its existence and use as an indication that the Nokia JS lib has been loaded into the page?

Currently, Rev. Paul leads the Foundation's initiative to assist charities in strengthening their infrastructures. Called "capacity-building," the initiative provides funding and expertise to eight critical charities over a period of five years. Each organization, with consultant input, develops a multi-year capacity-building plan, which serves as the basis for Deaconess' assistance. Leadership development, refinement of operating systems, fundraising support, professional coaching, and equipment acquisition are some of the areas of interest.
Prior to joining the Foundation in 1997, Rev. Paul was a hospital executive for nearly 20 years, for the last five serving as president and CEO of a three-hospital system in St. Louis. He began his career as a pastor of United Church of Christ congregations in the Mid-West. He holds an undergraduate degree in philosophy, a master of divinity degree and a healthcare management degree. Rev. Paul has read widely in the fields of management and organization development over the years and has assisted a wide range of charitable organizations in planning, mission and vision development, board training, change management and consultation on various aspects of organizational operations. He is a frequent speaker on topics related to human service issues and a preacher in various settings of the church.

We had never considered doing a short cruise, thinking that the hassle of packing and flying to a destination for such a limited experience wouldn't be worth it. But my wife and I found ourselves with a four-day weekend and no plans so we decided to try Majesty's Bahamas getaway. We loved it. Our early morning flight and easy embarkation meant we were sitting by the pool before noon. It felt we we had a whole vacation day before the ship even set sail.
Coco Cay was beautiful, especially since we made the extra, ten-minute walk to Barefoot Beach and got one of the "cabenettes", a clam-shell-like umbrella with two chaises, table, two float mats, water and fruit plate. Very much worth the price of $50 for the day. It put us away from the crowd and felt like we had our own private beach. Nassau? Better to stay on the ship and treat it like an at-sea day. The pool was great, slowly getting more crowded as the day went on, but plenty of sunshine, food and drinks. Staff were excellent; we sensed no shortage of commitment even though it was a short cruise. The days seemed to us to pass slowly; we brought back more good memories than you would expect from just a long weekend. Bottom line: we had a wonderful time and would do it again if the dates and costs lined up like they did for this trip. Only one negative: disembarkation took over two hours. U.S. Customs seemed to be taking extra time with every passenger.
