The Ellensburg Bulldogs will visit Deer Park to open the state Class 2A football playoffs at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
The Bulldogs (8-3), the fifth seed from District 5/6/7, defeated the Great Northern League's Cheney Blackhawks 36-35 in overtime on Tuesday.
Ellensburg used the quarterbacking duo of Garrett Hull and Matt Bennett against the Blackhawks. Tailback J. Foley, who rushed for 79 yards against Cheney, handled most of the ground game duties.
For the Stags (9-1) it will be their first state playoff game at home since they hosted Cashmere in 2000.

Why Partner with Prime?
Are all accountants the same? No.
Prime's Directors own and run the business, so first and foremost are businessmen themselves, running an accountancy practice. That, combined with their varied backgrounds and experience, including 'Big 4' accountancy firms, mid-tier firms, sole practitioner, not for profit sector and their interaction with Prime's hundreds of business clients, mean they have a wealth of knowledge to share, much wider than just accounts and tax. So client meetings cover a wide range of topics from IT and systems to marketing and business development, HR and exit strategies.
We love business; being in business; helping businesses start, grow, acquire, sell, change, expand, focus.
So what do we do?
We take away their owners' pain so they can focus on what they do best.
Choosing the right accountant can have a significant effect on the success of your business and your own personal financial security and wealth.
Come and talk to us. You owe it to your business.
Changing Accountants
If you are an existing business you will almost certainly already have an accountant. You may have outgrown your accountant though and feel that they no longer have the range of services or experience that your growing business needs. They are reactive rather than proactive. But you are concerned that it is complicated to change accountants and it is easier to stay with the status quo.
However, the reality is that it is very easy to change. There are standard ethical procedures which accountants adhere to which set out the procedure for the transfer of clients from one firm to another, together with the transfer of relevant information to ensure that the service to the business is compeltely uninterrupted.
We take care of everything including writing to your old accountant, you don't have to do a thing.
Ask us for more details so that your business can move forward. Don't let it be held back!

Hi Amelia
"In 1999 Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries (Banks) purchased Marston, Thompson & Evershed, and in the same year the Marston's took over the Mansfield Brewery of Nottinghamshire and closed it down, transferring production of Mansfield beers to the Park Brewery.
In 2005 Marston's Brewery took over production under licence from Interbrew of Draught Bass, succeeding Coors. Later, in 2005, the Jennings Brewery of Cockermouth was purchased and in 2007 Hampshire based Ringwood Brewery, which was established in 1978, and brews Best Bitter, Fortyniner, and Old Thumper, was acquired.
In 2007 the Company changed its name from Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries plc to Marston's plc."
Progress! All the best Peter
Rabin fascinating stuff.
The place is up for sale right now..... but it may be beyond repair.
Many thanks for coming by - David
Sadly no Peter
I'll suggest it however........
Thanks for the links to the photos; there are some excellent examples of how Alrewas really does sit on a flood plain. The village is faced with a planning application to build 150 houses on the flood plain and we are looking for photos that will show that floodong is not, as the EA classify the area- as uncommon as once in a 1,000 or even once in a 100 years; I've been here 12 years and have seen it flood 4 times.
I'm new to Panoramio and will follow your suggestion to create a Group to which I will send you an invite to join. Cheers
This an interesting shot. Taken in 2005, the wooden surface deterioated rapidly afterwards and last year we raised money from villagers and replaced 200 x 4.5 metre beams. We have also cleared the path ahead and hedge-layed the western side; we enjoyed that so much that we will probably lay the other side next season (October to March). I'll be posting pictures of the restored bridges over the next few weeks.
Greetings Peter,
Glad to receive your comments. I visited Alum Bay in 1978.. long enough to forget I guess, but I remember it well.
I'm now retired Peter, and I've got plenty of interests that keep me away from Panoramio a bit.
Thanks for staying in touch.
Like,nice scene and capture,greetings Leo

Yours quotes a speech that he made. Mine takes a variety of his statements made in various appearances, that he's made in various interviews with non-mainstream media outlets, and that he's personally written in his books. In your video he claims that he sees a proper role of government, and that he admires the constitution. In mine, he says that he sees no proper role for government, and uses the constitution as nothing more than a tool to limit government, because it is easier to cite the constitution for opposition to expanding government's role than it is to argue it on the merits of morality.The funniest part is, the video I posted wasn't from someone who opposes Paul. It was created by a Ron Paul supporter. A Libertarian, who acknowledges that Paul, when viewed within the framework of his entire philosophical musings, and not just one speech he made at Georgetown University, is not a minarchist. He is an anarcho-capitalist. But keep up that spin, Delirious. Keep saying it, and eventually maybe even you will believe it to be true.and oh yeah:Quote from: CBWx2 on May 21, 2013, 08:29:23 AMThe reason I act like I'm smarter than you is because I am.
The reason I act like I'm smarter than you is because I am.
Delirious, how about we cut to the chase. I will take just one example presented in that video that not even you can deny to be a truism that will not only challenge your assertion that Paul is a minarchist, but will even call into question whether or not you know your ass from your elbows in regards to the beliefs that you yourself support.Ron Paul has stated in countless interviews, speeches, and publications that he believes that taxation is theft. He has never shied away from or watered down this characterization. I also have gotten the impression based on numerous posts that you've made that you do not disagree with this characterization.So if Paul believes taxation is theft, how do you reconcile the fact that even a minimalist form of government must tax it's citizenry in order to function? Is theft no longer considered to be theft just because the amount taken is lowered? How also, do you reconcile the fact that one of the primary purposes of the creation of the US Constitution was to provide the central government with the authority to levy and collect taxes? How do you suppose Ron Paul reconciles it if he does indeed support minimalist government over no government, and supports the Constitution as you suggest that he does?The truth is that Ron Paul doesn't reconcile it, because he doesn't need to. He's stood by this principle from day 1. You, on the otherhand, have some explaining to do, so explain this:Quote from: CBWx2 on May 21, 2013, 08:29:23 AMThe reason I act like I'm smarter than you is because I am.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
ohhhhhhh , I have some explaining to do!! How about we start by putting Paul in context , you dishonest prick . Here is the DIRECT answer to your question about the "theft" quote . It's INCOME tax he wants to get rid of , and as a fellow Minarchist I happen to agree :
and a further elaboration .....notice not once is there a mention of doing away with government altogether in either of these explanations :
So , how's it feel to be a liar , comrade ? You have some explaining to do....
"We find that the vast government apparatus of 'national security' does not keep us safe so much as threaten our liberties...""Private security does not threaten our liberties, but government-provided security does."
"Governments by their very nature, notoriously compete with liberty-even when the stated purpose for establishing a particular government is to protect liberty." "The restraints placed on our government in the Constitution by the founders did not work."
"In reality, the Constitution itself is incapable of achieving what we would like in limiting government power, no matter how well written"
Voluntaryism, or voluntarism, is a libertarian philosophy which holds that all forms of human association should be voluntary. The principle most frequently used to support voluntaryism is the non-aggression principle (NAP). It is closely associated with, and often used synonymously with, the anarcho-capitalist and individualist anarchist philosophies.
Now back to the original post.The first problem with libertarianism is that it has never had a true leader, a true proponent. I am talking about a charismatic leader that can get people excited about its goals and ideals. Liberalism had FDR and JFK. Conservatism had Reagan. The closest the Libertarians have had is a wishy-washy Milquetoast Gynecologist who is way over the hill. The Libertarians need a young strong charismatic voice to explain its ideals to the people and rally those who'd agree to its side.The second problem with Libertarianism is most people don't really know what it is. And they also don't know what they are and exactly what they believe. So-called conservatives say "we want less government" but then add "except when it concerns abortions, drugs, marriage, immigration, security and defense". IOW they want less government regulation BUT more govt. regulation of A, B, C, D, E, and F. Huh??? Wouldn't eliminating the DEA be a move towards "less government"?? It would certainly reduce the federal budget.Most people just aren't purely conservative or purely liberal or purely anything. They are more like a Chinese restaurant patron, they want 3 items from column C and 3 items from column L and we'll share some things but not the soup or eggrolls. The 2 major parties realize that and so they are not truly conservative or liberal. Instead each party has picked some items from either side and packaged them in a way that a lot of people will like. The Ds picked women's and minority rights, education, environment, and fiscal safety nets. The Rs chose security, defense, morality ( WASP version of morality), and a low sodium Tax menu. The Ds aren't Liberal and the Rs aren't Conservative, they are just the only 2 Combo platters available. And most people find it easier to order the combo platter rather than voting ala carte. A libertarian platter would have items most people would find "too spi-cy" and it wouldn't have some items they want. If you order strictly Hunan, you will get lots of spi-cy but you won't get eggrolls or wonton soup. And voters want their eggrolls and wonton soup.
So .....plenty of mentions of "limited government" , yet no where does Paul ever recommend "zero government" , or say he plans on shutting down the entire government on every level . He's even worked FOR the government for a large part of his adult life as a career politician ... but somehow he is an unquestionable anarchist. Comrade knows he's an anarchist without him saying it , because he understands libertarianism better than libertarians . He understands Ron Paul better than Ron Paul . He can discern the REAL hidden meanings behind the cherry-picked out-of-context snipets he chose which don't actually say what he's wanting them to say.
How about a new topic?What's the matter with The Cove?Answer: too much ad hominem, too much personal attacking. You guys spend more time trying to insult the poster than actually debating the content of the post. Some of you will even attack a poster who's opinion is nearly the same as yours solely because of who the poster is. That is pure idiocy.Can we please get back to debating the issues and enough of the useless and irrelevant name calling. The personal attacks only achieve one thing, to make the attacker look foolish and juvenile. Is it really clever to take a hand full of feces, put it in your mouth and then spit it on your opponent??
Context: ADAM KOKESH:So you've described yourself as a voluntarist. Can you tell us what that means for the big picture, and what your ideal society would be, as a voluntarist? RON PAUL:Voluntary means no coercion. So if you want to change people's habits or change the world you should do it by setting examples and trying to persuade people to do it. You can use force only when somebody uses force against you. ( A.K.A. Limited Government that protects liberties ) So voluntary use of information and persuading people, I think, is the best way to go; and no matter what kind of problem you're looking at. ADAM KOKESH:Do you think we have a chance of achieving a society based on those ideals in America? RON PAUL:Not soon. We had a relative voluntary society (you know) in our early history, but steadily, even after the Constitution was passed, steadily it was undermined and it systematically grew, it grew certainly through the 20th century; that is the authoritation approach, which is the opposite. That is: the government tells us everything we can do and can't do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RF1PMPbc0WAWe had one ? Oops . Sounds like Paul's version of Voluntaryism can involve a limited government .Looks like more smoke and mirrors from the Wiz . Dumbest Man on the Cove. How's it feel ?

I hit Nick Mehta, CEO of Gainsight, right in the gut.
And then I took a hard shot to the chest by Gainsight's New Business director.
Working in a startup is rough, lemme tell ya.
As Nick and I stood on the sidelines during this company outing – battered, exhausted and laughing – watching the remaining players trying mercilessly to eliminate each other (and have fun at the same time), Nick turned to me and said:
"You should write a blog post on what Dodgeball can teach us about Growth Hacking."
So, looking for any excuse to rest – this wasn't just dodgeball but TRAMPOLINE dodgeball – I came up with a list of 10 lessons (5 Do's and 5 Don'ts) you can, in fact, take from Dodgeball and apply to Growth Hacking.
Okay, here we go.

Review 11-25-2006 (by Ray Borbon):
The Mont-Bell Versalite Jacket is equipped with water resistant zippers, located for under arm venting, and chest pockets. The jacket is fully seam taped, comes with an adjustable hood for rain, wind and snow, elastic arm cuffs with velcro, elastic band inside chest pockets and is made of a waterproof breathable material.
I've been using this jacket for summer alpine climbing, road biking and short ski trips around the Cascades and British Columbia for about 3 years. It is really cheap compared to high end name brand models like Marmot for example. Durability is good and so is the quality of this jacket. It continues to perform at least 3 times a week riding to work on my bicycle in the Seattle winters, keeping me as dry as it can and the wind from chilling my bones. For a 3 season shell jacket it is perfect. The jacket conforms closely to my body which permits me to climb better with it on ice climbs or for alpine rock climbs. It normally retails for $139. I don't have anything negative to say. Go get one.

Works Great!
Reviewed By:

I mixed IronX just a little bit stronger than the directions, and found that it works great. Dandelions were dark the next day, then black and shriveled the second day. Amazing! Covering the whole plant seems to be key.

It Works
Reviewed By:

My lawn had become infested with little broad-leaf weeds. Last fall I applied Iron-X. In two days the little buggers turned black. I then weed-wacked them down to the dirt. This spring they are completely gone.

mix stronger than directions say
Reviewed By:
(Pleasant Grove, UT)
When I mixed Iron X! as directed it had not effect on broadleaf weeds. So, I mixed it by increasing concentration of product 10X. It killed the weeds in about 12-16 hours, but not detrimental to lawn. It even wasted several morning glories.

Spring weeds erased
Reviewed By:
(Bridgewater, NJ)
The dandelions were rampant as well as other weeds emerging in early spring. Iron-X works great as long as you follow the directions - even coverage on and around the weeds. I am comforted to know the wildlife and pets are safe in our yard. I wish the containers were larger and sized so that 5 oz / gallon used an entire bottle (the containers are opaque).

This is one of the songs i worked harder on in all of my roster here in Newgrounds, i tried to make a song that had Halloween and horror in mind and also made a lot and i mean a LOT of research on panning and orchestration to be able to achieve the sound i wanted and i think it is my most advanced piece of composition so far, at least it was the one that took the most out of me.
I called it march of the damned because listening to it reminds me of an army of skeletons marching towards you.

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars December 13, 2012
Good day sir. Have my promised review.
The Good:
-Opening's fine.
-Very nice melodies, I particularly like the ostinato that comes in at 0:13.
-Mixing is fairly clean. Not everything shines out completely, but there's no distortion or anything. Also, that bed of sound at 1:31-2:28.
The Not-So-Good:
-I totally recognize those orchestral samples as Edirol. While I'm guilty of using them myself, I have to say - if you can, get some better ones. :<
-Also, I'm with camoshark on this. The drums sound really bland and uninspired. There's no real 'life' to them.
-1:44 is VERY obviously recorded with the midi keyboard, and it shows. The rest of the song is very in-tempo and when you're doing it naturally, it gets out of tempo a lot. I'd highly suggest practicing a lot and preparing a solo already or making sure you KNOW the key signatures you're going to use. Not just know them tentatively, but be able to use them liberally without hesitation.
-Okay, I'm OCD about transitions (including the outro, not quite as much the intro), so I have to say. The transition at 1:28 is pretty crappy. It just stops, then starts up again without a real connection - sounds more like you spliced two different songs which were made in the same style together.
-Outro is equally crappy. No buildup or conclusion at all really, it just ends.
Overall: Considering the transitions and the really-pretty-bad-midi-keyboard-solo, I'm going to have to give this a 7/10 or 3.5/5. It's pretty good, but not the kind of thing I'd want to listen to over and over. :< Considering what I heard of your other song so far though, I have a feeling I'm going to like it a lot. ^_^
So far im stuck with edirol and some free Soundfonts i recently downloaded :S ..
The drums i actually dont hate them that much as you guys but i can see where they are not awesome.
As for the Keyboard improv i agree that much was left out of place, at the time i recorded the song it actually sounded just a bit off, but of course you guys have your ears better trained then mine and now that it has been pointed out i can see the major failures in it. The transitions are still one of my weak spots and i shall read something about them these next few days and try to improve them.
Thanks for the comment buddy! And cant wait to see the other review :D
Rated 4 / 5 stars December 13, 2012
Hey there, Divo, here's your long overdue review, like promised!
Alright, so first of all, this sounds great! Real atmospheric, definitely gives out a sense of despair and eeriness, so good job there!
So with that out of the way, let's get a bit more technical. You've got a lot of simultaneous melodies going on, and the harmony going around in there is fairly interesting, especially considering you're doing this by ear! The instrumentation used in there is also interesting, although I find there to be a bit too many bells in the song, making it a tad lacking in terms of diversity, although that's more of a personal gripe of mine.
Now the first thing I noted, and that's a tad more major here, is that I can audibly notice you recorded this off of a keyboard (most notably when the bell melodies enter at 1:44), which kind of breaks the flow of the song with some imprecise rhythms (are those supposed to be tuplets?)
Another major detail here is the ending, or lack thereof. I mean, I'm OK with minimalist endings, but the stop at 1:28 made for a more convincing ending than the actual ending, which, in of itself, only consists of a bass drum hit and everyone stopping at the same time, not to mention the rude cut at the end that completely takes you out of it. A tad lazy, if you ask me, especially considering the creativity you used throughout the song.
The only other gripe I have here, and that's really more of a personal opinion, is the drums. They're just so bland and uninspiring, and I find them to clash with the rest of the song, which had a much more eerie sound to it, instead of the rather unsubtle four on the floor that you used.
In any case, all around I was positively impressed by this song, and if you take my suggestions, I would be very interested in hearing of your future works!
Well first of all i have no Musical instruction whatsoever and English is not my main language so i have to admit i had to research the term Tuplets xD
The excess of bells is not something i thought of, but now that you mention it i have to agree that i should have added something else to mix instead of more bells.
When it comes to the Keyboard Playing i usually play keyboard and then i "fix" those notes that are noticeably out of rhythm but since i was criticized a few times before for my lack of Humanization in the piece i guess i took it too far this time and made too human xD
Most of my songs are transposed from my head to the computer by Keyboard, not by the "laws" of music, i usually keep it simple in a 4/4 tempo but i wanted to innovate on this one so i chose a different time signature and as you can see had some problems improvising in it, so i have no clue if i used tuplets or not i just played what i heard in my head xD
The ending i must admit that i have not noticed that it had a cut in it, i hate cuts too :S And the ending itself is another aspect im working on my next songs.
Reviews like yours are the ones that make me a better musician and i will absolutely try to follow your advises!

Archive - Profile of a PSP Researcher: Michael Wittmann
Michael Wittmann is an Associate Professor of Physics and a Cooperating Associate Professor of Education at the University of Maine. A co-principal investigator on the Maine Physical Sciences Partnership (PSP) grant, Dr. Wittmann has been heavily involved with the project from its initial phases. Some of his many roles include leading collaboratives, the Summer Academy, and Curriculum Evaluation Task Forces. He is part of the PSP Research Team, a group of faculty members, undergraduate students, graduate students, and post docs carrying out research on teaching and learning within the project. Education research is an important component of the PSP, with the aim of shedding light on questions of how science is taught and learned most effectively.
One of Dr. Wittmann's current research interests is science teachers' understanding of student knowledge, and how this understanding affects student learning. When you ask a typical middle or high school student if they understand a science concept that they have been studying, they might nod their head "yes," whether or not the concept is totally clear to them. How can you tell what they really grasp and where more assistance is needed in learning the idea? Some teachers seem to have a natural ability to know what their students are picking up, and how to proceed if concepts aren't getting through.
Dr. Wittmann comments that experienced teachers gain abilities to "pick out the most valuable pieces" of student knowledge, and are able to use these to help students build their understanding of new materials. Knowing what these and other "valuable pieces" are, and how they can be used most effectively, are abilities that some teachers have gained without learning them explicitly; the result is a very important skill that is used subconsciously, and is therefore difficult to pass on to less experienced teachers. Dr. Wittmann hopes to zero in on some of these skills and make them explicit. By naming them and understanding how they benefit students, they can be used in professional development settings for new teachers.
The PSP provides a unique opportunity to do this research, because of the amount of interaction researchers are able to have with teachers – through collaboratives and other meetings, shared journal entries, etc. This frequent and in-depth communication with teachers is not normally a possibility for researchers in a middle or high school setting. The PSP also allows researchers to gather data from both students and teachers relatively easily, from a large number of classrooms using common curricula and teaching methods. Pretests and posttests can help determine what students know and what they are learning. Teacher surveys can give some information on what teachers know about their students' understanding of science concepts. Most importantly, researchers have the opportunity to observe classrooms to help them understand what teachers are doing while interacting with students to recognize and encourage deep learning.
Dr. Wittmann's research will both draw from and add to a growing body of knowledge about these questions of teacher and student understanding. Along with the work of several other faculty researchers at the university, this is a very exciting outcome of the PSP. In the meantime, Dr. Wittmann says about his work so far that he's had "more fun in the past year than I ever thought I would."

Springfield, Mass. - January 8, 2013 - In a rematch of last season conference championship, the Springfield College men's basketball team clamped down on MIT to pick up a 56-53 win in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action in Blake Arena Tuesday night.
The Pride improved to 11-4, 2-0 in league play, while MIT, which was receiving votes in this week's d3hoops.com poll, drops to 10-3, 1-1. It marked Springfield's first win over MIT since Feb. 6, 2008, as the Engineers had won the previous 11 meetings.
Alex Berthiaume was terrific in the victory, pouring in a game-high 21 points on 8-of-15 shooting to go along with four assists and four rebounds. Robbie Burke added 11 points, and Jordan Rote posted 10 points, six rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Pat Rossi was especially effective on the blocks, totaling eight points and four blocks.
James Burke kept the Engineers in the game throughout, netting 18 points as he connected on 5-of-10 from downtown. Matt Redfield added nine points and 10 rebounds before fouling out, and Will Tashman registered nine rebounds and eight points. Mitchell Kates, who entered the game leading the conference in scoring, was blanketed all night by Sean Martin and limited to just six points on 2-of-11 shooting.
Despite being undersized, the Pride held a 28-16 advantage on points in the paint and turned 17 MIT turnovers in 23 points. Springfield was able to get out in transition, holding a 14-2 edge in fast break points.
Seven of Springfield's first nine points came off MIT turnovers, as the Pride jumped out to a 9-2 lead 2:58 in the contest. MIT found its composure and responded with a 17-5 spurt to snag a 19-14 lead at the 9:42 mark. The Engineers buried four three-pointers in the run, including a pair from Burke from the left wing.
Springfield answered with a burst of its own, clamping down on defense to open up a 13-3 run of its own to regain a 27-22 lead with 4:01 on the clock. Berthiaume scored six of his 11 first-half points in the run, including a miraculous one-handed finish in transition on a great look from Rote.
Tashman closed out the first-half scoring with a put-back bucket as the teams headed into the locker room with the score 29-27 in favor of the hosts.
Springfield scored the first five points of the second half to open up an seven-point lead, 34-27, just 2:01 in. A Ryan Frankel trifecta cut Springfield's lead to three at 36-33 at the 14:39 mark, but the Pride scored the game's next six points, to earn its largest lead of the game, a 42-33 cushion, with 12:33 to play.
After Rossi made one of two from the line to make it a 47-39 contest, Burke put on an offensive show for MIT, pouring in nine-straight points in a 2:34 span to knot the game at 48 apiece. The senior guard hit a pair of huge threes in the run, and Kates would then hit free throw the next time down the court to give the Engineers its first lead since 6:19 mark of the first half.
The visitors lead grew to five on a fast-break bucket from Kates with just over three minutes to play before the Pride stormed back behind the play of Berthiaume. The senior guard knocked down a pair of free throws and then connected on a spinning floater along the baseline to get within one.
Burke hauled in a rebound on the ensuing possession and was fouled. After calmly sinking both freebies, Springfield forced MIT into a tough shot from deep, and corralled the loose ball up one. Out of a timeout, Berthiaume worked the clock down before finding a wide open Burke in the lane to put the hosts up three. With 31 seconds remaining, Springfield played tremendous defense, and a last-ditch three at the buzzer from Tashman fell short.
The Pride will suit up again on Thursday night when it travels to clash with Babson for a conference game set for 7:00 pm.

I have a question concerning the hydraulic "check valve" block that sits on the platform directly in front of the seat assembly. The parts list refers to it as Block, Check Valve, Assembly, #360402R92.
What does it do? Is it necessary? I ask this because the rear hydraulic remote control system (cylinder with break away couplings) does not have this control valve. But if you have a quick hitch it is there. Yet you can lock the hitch and remove the cylinder to use in the same manner as the remote control system.
My hydraulic system works great one direction but takes forever to move the other way. If I switch hoses on the cylinder I have the same symptoms reversed. I read on another forum where a user with the same problem just took the check valve out of the system and everything worked perfectly.
I didn't want to do this without checking with the experts first. What do you think?

As a student of the American political scene, I fear that too many voters including this one suffer from local attention deficit disorder or local ADD. It is, in short, the tendency to pay more attention to care more about what happens in Washington than what happens in Jefferson City, or St. Louis...or some other seat of state or local government.
Yes, we are creatures who grow easily bored with things small and familiar. And often, nothing seems smaller or more familiar than the events in our own backyard. So Im not surprised we would rather know what Barack Obama is doing than what Jay Nixon or Charlie Dooley or Francis Slay are up to.
But I also suspect the Nixons and Slays and Dooleys of this world by virtue of their proximity to us are more likely to impact our daily lives than President Obama ever will. And for that reason, I think there is a great risk for local ADD, to ignoring the events in our own backyard.
Aaron Hilman understands this. Post-Dispatch columnist Tony Messenger recently shared Aarons story telling us how Aaron was alarmed about tax increases in the Mehlville fire district; how he ran and won a seat on the districts board; how he and others overcame one obstacle after another to limit the boards power to impose taxes.
I can only hope Aaron Hilmans story inspires more of us to pay attention to whats going on in our state, cities, and neighborhoods. Its high time we all sought treatment for our respective cases of local ADD.

Our souls often feel "the press" of spiritual warfare as well as the wear and
tear that stress creates. People are losing their passion, their sense of well-being,
their health, and many are losing their ability to perform under pressure.
While people seem to be losing their way, and at the "end of their rope,"
it isn't the stress that is the problem; it is the lack of "recovery" after the
stress has been endured. There is not sufficient amount of recovery for us
to balance out the stress we have endured so that when we are at the "end
of our rope," we aren't strong enough to actually move forward, with added
strength to take on the next challenge. We have never either been given
permission nor have given ourselves permission to explore all that is available
for us in terms of recovering from stress, so that in fact we become stronger
and more resilient and not weaker and burned out.
While you may feel at times like you are in high-negative, facing spiritual giants
that oppose you, and it looks like your options are quite limited, and you are
up against a wall, THERE IS A WINDOW IN YOUR WALL! AND...THERE
ARE MORE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO YOU THAN YOU REALIZE! You
can shift from high-negative into forward faith and learn how to PAINT A
WINDOW TO FREEDOM that God will transform into a way out of no way!

Coulthard pays tribute to 'super' sister
David Coulthard spoke movingly of his family's loss:
– David Coulthard
We are here to remember my sister, the Lynsay who would always find a way of making fun and a way of shocking. I'll remember her of course as my wee sister, born on April Fools Day but was no fool and was far from it. Being Easter my father would call her 'super chic' and that's what I called her as well because she was 'super.'
"She was absolutely beautiful and in love with Will. My family want to pay tribute all the support we have had from people here and from all over"

No nuclear power for Italy
mdsolar (1045926) writes | more than 3 years ago0
mdsolar writes "Italy has just voted "with more than 98 percent of polling places reporting, 57 percent of eligible Italians voted, exceeding the threshold of more than 50 percent needed for a quorum."
On the ballot were referendum "to ban nuclear power, block cities from selling water companies and prevent [Italian PM] Berlusconi from evading his corruption trials." which are all expected to pass. So, Italy bans nuclear power again by referendum as it previously did after the Chernobyl disaster."

Walk through the weight room, take a left at the CHAMPIONSHIPS START HERE banner and theres Independence High football coach Joe Evans pulling a new gold helmet from a cardboard box.
The helmet looks like an ornament youd see on a tree but with a dark green facemask.
You hand one to a kid and its Christmas in August, says Evans. This is just the best time of year, man. I dont even look at New Years Day as a fresh start. I look at the beginning of football as a fresh start.
Spend 10 minutes with Evans and you want to ask for a helmet and a roster spot.
If you cant get excited about your teams in August, youre either too cynical to have teams or one of them is the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Ive lived in Charlotte since 1981, and I contend there has never been a better time to be a sports fan in this town.
True, when the Charlotte Hornets were new in 1988 and again when the Carolina Panthers were new in 1995 every game was like a first date. You ignored the flaws or didnt care. Support was unconditional. Message boards had yet to be invented.
We supported pro teams the way college towns support college teams. Now we have a college team.
The Charlotte 49ers play their first football game of this and any other season Aug. 31 on campus against Campbell.
That Richardson Stadium is sold out attests to how long the 49ers have waited and how deeply they care. They dont have to leave town to tailgate. The spring game was less a practice than a celebration of the sport.
The 49ers did it. They did it whether you thought they would or not. They have a great stadium and a staff that recruits Charlotte as if they have a deed. Every practice is a testament to the high school talent in and around Charlotte.
Theyre really getting after it, says Evans, whose elusive receiver, Austin Duke, is a 49er. I went to their seven-on-seven. Theres something in the air out there.
There will be something in the air at BB&T Ballpark in the spring noise. Fans no longer have to leave the state to watch a Charlotte team play Class AAA baseball.
A series of frivolous lawsuits delayed construction so long the stadium felt like a myth. The check is in the mail. Adam Morrison was a good draft pick. The Charlotte Knights will build a ballpark.
The ballpark is here and it is stunning, and the Knights open it April 11, 2014 at 7:05 p.m. against the Norfolk Tides. The idea of seeing the lights and hearing the fans, and an occasional line drive, and sitting outside in the middle of downtown Charlotte feels like a gift.
Bank of America Stadium is a mammoth home run away from the ballpark. As bad as the Panthers looked in their second exhibition against Philadelphia, they will honor their commitments and go ahead with the rest of the season.
They come with Steve Smith and Cam Newton and, in rookie defensive tackle Star Lotulelei their best inside presence, says one coach, since Kris Jenkins.
The NFL rules Charlotte and almost every other mid-sized to major market with a team. When Russell Wilson and Seattle come to town to open the season Sept. 8 you ought to be downtown even if you dont have a ticket.
If the Panthers fail to make the playoffs, theyll start over. This is the season to which theyve been building, which is the reason everything they did in the off-season is a testament to the status quo. They believe; be interesting to see if theyre entitled.
The Charlotte Bobcats arent new but the possibilities they offer are. A season removed from being one of the worst teams in NBA history, they could win half their games.
They drafted Cody Zeller, the 7-footer out of Indiana. Hes a forward, not a center, a big man adept at running the court, jumping to the roof and shooting from the outside.
The Bobcats also added the most expensive free agent in team history, center Al Jefferson. Jefferson is an ice flow of a big man with an interesting array of old school inside moves. Fans could go to home games not to wear the jersey of a visiting star but to watch the home team.
Meanwhile, out at Charlotte Motor Speedway, owner Bruton Smith did not deliver on this threat to move one of his major races to Las Vegas. So Charlotte still has three. In other news, it will continue to.
Before the races, before downtown baseball, before the Panthers and the Seahawks and the 49ers and the Camels, there will be high school football.
The Patriots opens the season Thursday at Memorial Stadium against South Mecklenburg.
Walk down an Independence hallway last week at 2:55 p.m. and I dare you not to stop.
The school band practices in a classroom and you what it sounds like?
Friday night.
Everybodys 0 and 0 right now, says Evans. Boot it up and lets go.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. Johnny Sproles of Henderson understands more than most that the scout Motto "Always Be Prepared" can mean the difference between life and death.
it was on December 31,1953 during a duck hunt, that eighteen year old Sproles saved two men from drowning. For his bravery, he was awarded the Boy Scouts Medal Of Honor".
Sproles says it was what he learned in scouting that enabled him to save the men's lives and feels that scouting has influenced every phase of his life as well.

Baywatch star David Hasselhoff stars in Peter Pan
4:27pm Friday 7th December 2012 in What's on in Lancashire By Anna Mansell, Features writer
THIS year's panto season brings a touch of Californian sunshine to the region as former Baywatch actor turned cult celebrity David Hasselhoff appears on stage.
Topping the bill in Manchester Opera House's traditional pantomime Peter Pan, The Hoff returns to the role he's been making his own in recent years.
The year will be his third consecutive outing in the UK as Captain Hook in the magical tale of the little boy who refused to grow up.
But David is far from tired of the role.
He said: "I'm looking forward to panto again and it should be even better this year — we've spiced it up with some new Hoffisms. It's a great, great show."
While perhaps best known as something of a figure of fun — he's a big pop star in Germany — David has a background in serious musical theatre, with West End, Broadway and Las Vegas credits to his name.
He said: "Pantomime's a piece of cake — one of the easiest things I've ever done.
"I'm used to speaking to people on the street and I grew up doing melodrama with that kind of audience, and playing the good or bad guy.
"It's a whole lot easier than Broadway, which is intense. Iif you make a mistake there, you've got people coming down on you.
"It's the most fun when you go off script in panto and the audience picks up on the fun of that."
"Being on stage, two shows a day and getting paid for it — that's what I want to do. If you're doing something you love and want to be getting up for the day, then you're blessed."
Last month, the Los Angeles-based star called into Manchester for publicity photos for the show..
He's spoken of his love for the city, after filming Britain's Got Talent there last year, and he's sure to get into the festive spirit if past panto spells are in Wimbledon and Bristol are anything to go by.
"My last two Christmasses have been surreal. When I was at the theatre in Wimbledon, I spent Christmas Eve in Hyde Park with my nephew wandering round and saying Merry Christmas to people and eating bratwurst,. We were exhausted by Christmas Day.
"Last year I did four hours of TV with chef Gordon Ramsay as he cooked Christmas dinner, eating it, then going back to the hotel and continuing the celebrations in the hotel overlooking the Thames."
This year, 60-year-old David hopes to join his Welsh girlfriend Hayley Roberts' family for the big day.
And with him spending increasing amounts of time in the UK, recent visits have included house hunting — with his LA mansion reportedly going on the market for $3.8million.
"I've got my eyes on a place in the Cotwolds," he said. "I spend so much time in the UK and not so much time in LA that I think maybe I'll downsize to a place closer to the beach in LA, and get a place to call home in the UK."
- Peter Pan, Manchester Opera House, December 8 to January 13. Tickets available from 0844 847 2277.

A Minot woman has been charged with Negligent Homicide in connection with a traffic accident that killed a Westhope man three months ago.
32-year-old Maria Sutton is facing the Class C Felony charge for the death of 49-year-old Robert Morrison of Westhope on June 23rd in north Minot.
Investigators say Sutton was driving south in the northbound lane of North Broadway about one-am that day when her car hit Morrison's car head-on.
She told police she had become confused while driving a friend home from a bar.
She said she thought she had turned around into the southbound lane after missing a turnoff.
Sutton's blood alcohol content was point-067, below the point-08 threshold for being considered legally drunk.
The Negligent Homicide charge carries a maximum five year prison sentence.

An aquatic emergent, blue flag makes a nice addition to a water garden; excellent for stormwater management and wetland areas.
An emergent aquatic, Iris versicolor has beautiful blue flowers with a yellow throat. Naturally found in wet places such as marshes, and along stream banks, moisture is required for this plant; it would make a good addition to a water garden.
Native Americans used the root of this plant for a variety of medicinal purposes. The root contains a glycoside, iridin, and was used for issues ranging from sprains to detoxification of the blood. Today, it is sometimes used to treat skin conditions.

Although an unyielding "team" concept was the key factor Jim Harbaugh and the Niners' higher-ups emphasized this season, sources on the scene agree that there was one individual player who stood out from beginning to end.
Eleven-year veteran DT Justin Smith.
Over and over again, Smith came up huge when it counted most:
But just as importantly, Smith began setting the tone for the team when the man nicknamed "Cowboy" took the bull by the horns and led the way in players-only workouts during the lockout.
"He is such a leader off the field," said one daily team observer. "He's just a workout fiend. He constantly pushed the other players to keep up with him, and most of them couldn't.
"It really is a big reason for this team's success."
As is Smith's tremendous stamina, which has established him as one of the league's more durable players.
"At the end of games he's always at his best," the observer said. "In the first half against the Saints, he actually wasn't real good. But in the fourth quarter, he was just dominant!"
Another example of Smith's value is his special rapport with Niners first-round draft pick Aldon Smith — both on and off the field.
More than a few of Aldon Smith's 14 sacks came on stunts when Justin Smith did the dirty work occupying blockers while the rookie took advantage of his great ability to make quick cuts in short spaces to get to the passer.
"Together, they were unstoppable much of the time, and Justin's selflessness was a big reason why," the observer said.

Roswell police are investigating a burglary that frightened a mom and her two kids.
The incident happened just before 8 p.m. Saturday near Woodstock Road and North Coleman Road in Roswell.
Officers said a mother and her two children arrived home from dinner to find a burglar inside of their Roswell home.
The mom and kids ran into their garage and called police.
A police spokesperson said officers arrived at the home and set up a perimeter, but the burglar ran out of the home before police could make an arrest.
A K-9 unit was called out to the scene but it lost the suspect's scent a half mile from the home.
Roswell authorities are asking anyone with information to call them at 770-640-4100.
