Driver in critical condition after colliding with median in north Phoenix
PHOENIX - A man is in critical condition after striking a median and losing control of his truck in North Phoenix. The incident happened just before 4 a.m. Saturday near Cave Creek Road and Ashler Hills Drive.
The 48-year-old man was driving a Ford pickup northbound on Cave Creek Road when he struck the center-raised median and lost control of the truck. The vehicle collided with a tree in the median, then crossed back over both northbound lanes before rolling and striking a boulder next to the road, according to Sgt. Tommy Thompson with the Phoenix Police Department.
The driver of the truck was transported by helicopter to a nearby hospital where he is in extremely critical condition. Nobody else was in the vehicle.

Rose Funeral - Mothers Of Abomination
This was never apart of any demo of any kind. It was never released to the public from the band or studio. It is a leak. I got it from a friend. I don't know the year it was recorded. This song is old, back from when Casper was doing vocals. This is not from their new album, nor does it have anything to do with it. I had permission to post this song. I am one of the very few people to ever own this song. Nuf said. Enjoy.

PING i25 Hybrid
Click on main image for larger view
The i25 hybrids are easy to hit high for adding distance. Combining the look of an iron with the performance and reliability of a hybrid, the sleek and compact 17-4 stainless steel heads are versatile performers. Their compressed profile and straight lead edge (less bulge and roll) are closer to an iron, making them easier to aim and control.
The sleek and compact 17-4 stainless steel i25 hybrids are for golfers who like the look of an iron but the distance, performance and reliability of a hybrid. They're versatile, easy to hit high, and they will create better distance gapping in your set.
With a narrow head and squared off toe, the head design promotes better turf interaction and solid contact from all conditions. There's much less bulge and roll than a traditional hybrid. The flat face and straight lead edge are more like an iron, which makes aiming easier.
A more-forward hosel axis than a traditional hybrid promotes a high-launch, low-spin trajectory for maximizing distance. It also gives the i25 hybrid more of an iron look and delivers a captured appearance at address. The PWR shaft family includes 80- and 90-gram weight versions, with six total options spread across four flexes. Lighter shafts can help you reduce pushes and fades, while heavier shafts can help reduce pulls and hooks.

What's a learning circle?
It's a community space where people come together to learn about a subject. A learning circle rounds up resources and guided learning activities that have been chosen by subject matter experts. Use these activities to create your own personalized learning roadmaps.
Our new approach to learning now includes YOU.
In a learning circle, you can:
Find and discuss targeted learning activities to build your understanding.
Ask questions or join a conversation on the community discussion forum — a safe place to ask your getting-started questions.
Blog about your ideas and experiences.
Find experts and additional resources.
Create learning roadmaps
Everyone's busy. Because you may not have time to browse all the resources and mingle with other learners in one sitting, learning circles help you create your own personal roadmaps, your pathways through the resources.
You can check off items as you complete them, break away whenever you need to, and easily return anytime. No guesswork; no wasted time trying to recreate where you were.
You can keep your progress confidential, of course. But you also have the option of easily sharing your progress with a mentor, your manager, or your team so you can all progress together.

Rich and Creamy Cheesecakes
Cranberry-Orange Cheesecake [1]
This dazzler from Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Missouri, tastes as good as it looks. The dark chocolate cookie crust and ruby red berries add dramatic flair to the orange-flavor filling. Because the cake keeps well for two days, this is a great make-ahead dessert.
Peanut Butter Buckeye Brownie Cheesecake [5]
Dawn Moore of Warren, Pennsylvania, grew up sampling buckeye candy from neighboring Ohio. It was the muse for her outrageously rich and creamy dessert, one of the finalists in our annual Best of the Midwest recipe contest.
Three holiday cheesecakes [9]
These three colorful cheesecakes are especially good to serve at the holidays. Cranberry-Chocolate Cheesecake (top) uses cranberries both in the filling and in the sauce.
White Chocolate Candy Cane Cheesecake (middle) is a variation on the mascarpone cheesecake made at Parkview Gourmet specialty foods in Libertyville, Illinois.
Very Berry Cheesecake (bottom) uses fresh berries and berry-flavored brandy, plus vodka or orange juice for its flavor.
Cranberry-Chocolate Cheesecake [10]
White Chocolate Candy Cane Cheesecake [11]
Praline Crusted Cheesecake [15]
Guests at the Old Rittenhouse Inn in Bayfield, Wisconsin, indulge in this nut-topped dessert.
Red Velvet Cheesecake [19]
We took the red velvet cake that we love and gave it a creamy twist. Don't let the red color fool you: The flavor is all chocolate.
Easy Raspberry-Topped Cheesecake [23]
Start with four slices of your favorite purchased cheesecake. Mix up this easy topping and you've got dessert!
Showstopper Eggnog Cheesecake [27]
This cheesecake earns its showstopper name with a cashew crust, rich eggnog filling and optional topping of cashew brittle.
German Chocolate Cheesecake [31]
This coconut-topped cheesecake was a winner in the cheesecake competition at the Great Wisconsin Cheese Festival in Little Chute.
Baby Citrus Cheesecakes [35]
This make-ahead dessert stores in the freezer for up to a month, ready to serve surprise guests. Vanilla or chocolate wafers form an easy base for the creamy filling. The center dips slightly after cooling, making an indentation to fill with whipped cream.
Mooselips' Pumpkin Cheesecake [39]
Customers at Mooselips Java Joint in Seeley, Wisconsin, love this because it's creamy, cool and not overpowered by the pumpkin or spice. It's even better with a hot cup of coffee.
White Chocolate Cheesecake with Triple-Raspberry Sauce [43]
White chocolate and raspberries are a combination that earns accolades from our readers (and editors). Here, the duo teams up in an ultra rich cheesecake with a shortbread cookie crust.
White Chocolate Cheesecake with Triple-Raspberry Sauce recipe [44]
Chocolate-Irish Cream Cheesecake [47]
Combine chocolate, cream cheese, sour cream and Irish cream liqueur for this decadently rich cheesecake. If you prefer a milder liqueur flavor, use a little less Irish cream and add whipping cream or milk to make up the difference.
All-to-Myself Cheesecakes [51]
Chocolate sandwich cookies make an easy crust and crumbled topper for these single-serving cheesecakes.
Peppermint-Chocolate Cheesecake [55]
This mint-chocolate dessert has been featured at the annual holiday progressive dinners in Wisconsin's Door County.
Chocolate Dried Cherry Cheesecake [59]
This thick, rich cheesecake -- with a touch of coffee and speckled with dried cherries -- is a favorite dessert from a Leland, Michigan, restaurant.
Wisconsin Rhubarb Cheesecake [63]

Chocolate-Bar Cheesecake [75]
This lighter version of cheesecake uses light cream cheese, egg product and nonfat sour cream to lower the fat.
Crimson Cranberry Cheesecake [79]
A gingersnap crust and cranberry sauce accent this thick cheesecake, which was a favorite at the old Marshall Field's State Street store in Chicago.
Mint-Chocolate Cheesecake [83]
Creme de menthe adds a hint of mint and color to this chocolate-topped cheesecake.
Chocolate-Glazed Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake [87]
Cream cheese, pumpkin, dark chocolate, whipping cream ... this fall pumpkin dessert is pure decadence!

(This was originally meant to be a response to Po Ashton's excellent comment in The State Of the Bobcats' Center Address. It got a bit longer than I originally intended, so I decided it should go here instead. So go read his comment and this will be here waiting. You'll see. This can wait.)
I'm excited about Bismack Biyombo, because we don't need him to be a star. That's for later. We need him to play his defined role and be elite at it. And I for one think he can do that.
Gerald Henderson can become a shut down defender who scores a very efficient 15 a night and is athletic enough so that he can run a fast paced offense well enough with someone like Kemba Walker.
Tyrus coupled with Biyombo and Henderson can create a stout defensive presence to mask Kemba's defensive deficiencies.
Kemba is the player I'm most bullish about, mainly because I don't see a role he plays if he doesn't magically blossom into a superstar. He's not talented enough as a distributor to play second fiddle to a star, and until I see it, we can't be sure one way or another about his ability to score at this level. If everything goes right with him, he could become the Russell Westbrook to our Kevin Durant. If not, I just hope he's shown enough that even if he isn't seen as a "star" he'll still garner enough interest to net us more assets. I could go on and on about Kemba's future on this team, but that'll do for now.
As for our "proven" commodities (Boris Diaw and D.J. Augustin), I'm hoping they play well enough (or hell, I don't even want them to play) that we can get more assets from them. They don't have a place in the Bobcat's future (so I disagree with signing them later, I'll get to that in a second), so we might as well get whatever we can from a contender. You don't think someone would be willing to give up a first round pick for a shooter like Augustin? Or package Boris, DJ, and a terrible contract to get some additional cap relief? We should make every effort to move Boris and DJ to either pick up future assets or get further under the cap.
As for re-signing either in the future, I'll say this. I hope once we get rid of Diaw's carcass we stay the hell away for the rest of his career. The last thing any rebuilding team is someone who doesn't give his all most of the time. Even as a 6th man. He'll just take minutes away from someone who we could count on to always give effort.
As for DJ, I'd love to have him back as a 6th man at a modest contract in the future. Unlike Kemba, he could really provide a solid role for our future. Augustine isn't and never was cut out to be a "face of the franchise" guy like Kemba. He didn't have that swagger at Texas (where Durant was the big man on campus) so putting him in the position we put him in wasn't fair in retrospect. However, coming off the bench for us in the future, we can use him as the incredibly efficient 3-point shooter he can be. We shouldn't ask much more from him, but he will have the ability to occasionally take it to the rim, hit an open man, and get out in transition with our other young, fast paced pieces.
Then there's the curious case of Corey Maggette. He's a useful player. He's grossly overpaid. He'll also be an expiring contract next year season. Therefore, in my mind, there will be a market for him after this season. There will be a contender out there somewhere that will be willing to give up something tangible for Maggette's expiring contract. Much more willing than someone like Desagana Diop (who will also be expiring) because he's a player who has a useful skill: he can score.
That brings me to the case of our amnesty clause. There has been some debate about whether we should use it on Diop or Maggette. I think the case made above should be enough to dissaude anyone from thinking we shouldn't use it on Diop, because I guarantee we'll be able to give Maggette away in a worst case scenario next season. I doubt anyone would touch Diop with a 10 foot pole (as the saying goes).
Getting to the last part of our roster, we have the
corpses bench warmers known as Matt Carroll and Eduardo Najera. We'll in all likelihood just have to sit on these contracts until they expire. Unless we can convince someone in the above scenario (DJ, Diaw, or Diaw and DJ), they'll play 0-10 minutes on a rebuilding team, not doing anything particularly useful. Matty Carroll may win us a game with a 3 pointer this year, and that can be the highlight of his career. It'll be a cool story for him. Our Mexican enforcer can run around and do crazy things for another season, just entertain us while we suck. It'll be fun guys. Let's root for these two crappy players to have some fun the few seasons in a very limited while we might for their clock to expire.
That's all just a look at what I think we should do with our current stable of players. I did everything I could to make this as non-rosterabory as possible (because I kind of despise the process of rosterbating when their is no good reason why we should be making any moves, no matter how many times Focus will throw out 5 nominal players who won't do much for us and one player who is stupid to even speculate over [Al Jefferson? Really?]). If the Bobcats were to do something similar to this (as I expect them to) then it'll be a really responsibe rebuilding process. Even if we don't get lucky in the draft, we should still have a really solid core nucleus to build around with plenty of cap room in two years when, one way or another, Carroll, Najera, Maggette, and Diop contract's are gone. Assuming we don't have a melt-down in the draft (of Adam Morrisony proportions) we should be set to be a playoff team at worst, a contender at best.

Ru (original 2009; edition 2012)
by Kim Thuy, Sheila Fischman (Translator)
Work details
Ru by Kim Thúy (2009)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Ru by Kim Thuy is a compilation of vignettes where each page is a separate story, complete within itself, telling of the stress of living under the communists in Viet Nam, the horrors of escaping by boat, the filth and hopelessness of the refugee camp that they found themselves in, and the many adjustments they had to make as a family and as individuals to fit into their new life in Canada.
This is not a linear story, but as the reader continues through the book, it's beautiful, lyrical writing paints a clear picture of both this woman's experiences and her inner feelings. There is a dream-like style to the writing and at times I felt like I was intruding on a very personal vision.
Ru is a story about the emigrant experience and with it's original perspective it was very easy to forget that this is a novel not a true memoir. It is also very easy to conclude that the author drew on her own experiences to create this very intimate account. I believe that this will be a book that stays with me, and that these small stories told with grace and dignity will often be recalled.
Kim Thuy won the 2010 Governor General's Award for her first book, Ru: A Novel. Although the book is styled a novel, it is based on Thuy's own experience and memories. When she was 10 years old, she and her family fled Vietnam on a boat that took them to a refugee camp in Malaysia, eventually ending up in Montreal.
This is a gorgeous book. It's written in brief vignettes traveling back and forth in time and from place to place to finally piece together a picture of identities and a family split asunder which emerge into a new life. Many of the vignettes are prose poems (and great credit must also be given to the translator of the English edition) that capture fleeting moments:
After the old lady died, I would go every Sunday to a lotus pond in a suburb of Hanoi where there were always two or three women with bent backs and trembling hands, sitting in a small round boat, using a stick to move across the water and drop tea leaves into open lotus blossoms. They would come back the next day to collect them one by one before the petals faded, after the captive tea leaves had absorbed the scent of the pistils during the night. They told me that every one of those tea leaves preserved the soul of the short-lived flowers.
An interview with Kim Thuy on NPR: http://www.npr.org/2012/11/24/165563101/a-refugees-multilayered-experience-in-ru
Ru is a lyrical exploration of the experience of a Vietnamese girl who flees with her family to Malaysia, then Canada. She grows up, marries and has two children, and eventually returns to Vietnam. The narrator - a semi-portrait of the author - tells her stories in a series of short vignettes that move back and forth in time. The prose is crystalline and evocative - the central idea and strong images found in each vignette matter more than a linear plot. However, connections frequently appear - between the past and present, between disparate cultures, between strangers and friends and enemies. Because of the structure, sometimes it's a bit hard to place characters and keep all the relationships straight but this contributes to the idea of everything being ephemeral, which occurs frequently throughout the book. - the family's solid life in Vietnam is shattered and from then on their living conditions are temporary and strange. As the narrator grows up she sees everything in this light - possessions, lovers, her identity. Her relationship with her sons weighs her down for better or worse.
A book so lyrical it is like reading a song. Hauntingly beautiful and emotional story about the experiences of a Vietnamese family escape by boat and later settlement in Canada.
So...we lost power for over 24 hours (super storm sandy) and i decided to re-read this beautiful novel.
Kim Thúy's novel, Ru was shortlisted for this year's Giller Award. Released in its original French in 2010, it won the French-language Governor-General's Award that same year, and has secured foreign rights in 15 countries. (Though according to a rep at Random House Canada, I have been told a U.S. publication date has not been established.) The English translation has been crafted beautifully by Sheila Fischman. While I was reading, I sensed the tenderness and integrity Fischman brought to this project. (But I would now like to read Ru in French!)
Ru is a fictional memoir told in beautiful vignettes that weave us through An Tinh's escape from Vietnam to her time in a Malaysian refugee camp to her new life in Canada. The novel begins with a note on the meaning of ru. In French, it denotes a small stream or a flow – of water, blood, tears or almost anything else. In Vietnamese, ru means a lullaby.
The opening that follows, gives us a good idea of what's in store:
I came into the world during the Tet Offensive, in the early days of the Year of the Monkey, when the long chains of firecrackers draped in front of houses exploded polyphonically along with the sound of the machine guns.
I first saw the light of day in Saigon, where firecrackers, fragmented into a thousand shreds, coloured the ground red like the petals of cherry blossoms or like the blood of the two million soldiers deployed and scattered through the villages and cities of a Vietnam that had been ripped in two.
I was born in the shadow of skies adorned with fireworks, decorated with garlands of light, shot through with rockets and missiles. The purpose of my birth was to replace lives that had been lost. My life's duty was to prolong that of my mother.
I love the form this book takes and feel that the way Thúy tells us this story really captures how we remember events from the past. Our recollections help form the big picture but it's the snippets of memory, of moments along the way, that piece together like a puzzle and create the full picture of a life. even in its entirety life can be messy but whole, disjointed and connected at the same time. but from the chaos and uncertainty, physical and moral strength and endurance can emerge and sustain us.
Thúy did a Q & A with CBC Books.
To risk all on the sum of its parts might seem dangerous, but the material's innate truth justifies its author's faith and through skilful assembly a whistle-clean story emerges. And yet, the story matters less than the raw acceptance of its moments, often brutal, occasionally full of beauty, the unexpected glimpses recounted without judgement or sentimentality of a world we know only through hearsay.
Thúy's impressionistic approach means the book can feel rudderless, but the stories are poetic and powerful.
Subtlety of voice and effect is Thúy's strongest hand. Never is there a sense of false drama or manipulation of pain for easy emotional gain. In strictly human terms, the book's pivotal balance between endurance and despair is delicately, beautifully realized.
Despite some moments of digression and occasional instances of thematic overreach, Ru is a poetic and highly individual exploration of what it can mean to straddle multiple cultures and identities simultaneously.

A book of rare beauty: Ru is a lullaby of Vietnam and a love letter to a new homeland. Ru: In Vietnamese it means lullaby; in French it is a small stream, but also signifies a flow - of tears, blood, and money. Kim Thuy's Ru is literature at its most crystalline: the flow of a life on the tides of unrest and on to more peaceful waters. In vignettes of exquisite clarity, sharp observation and sly wit, we are carried along on an unforgettable journey from a palatial residence in Saigon to a crowded and muddy Malaysian refugee camp, and onward to a new life in Quebec. There, the young girl feels the embrace of a new community, and revels in the chance to be part of the American Dream. As an adult, the waters become rough again: now a mother of two, she must learn to shape her love around the younger boy's autism. Moving seamlessly from past to present, from history to memory and back again, Ru is a book that celebrates life in all its wonder: its moments of beauty and sensuality, brutality and sorrow, comfort and comedy.… (more)

The North Carolina Highway Patrol says a 2-year-old boy was killed in a crash that shut down one side of I-77 in Charlotte Saturday.
Troopers say two vehicles were racing between the Remount Road and West Boulevard exits just before 1 am when both vehicles lost control.
One vehicle hit a guard rail and both hit the median before coming to a stop, troopers say. The driver in one car was ejected. The toddler, Trevon Nichols, was inside the second vehicle.
Troopers say the young boy was in a car seat at the time. The driver and an adult passenger in the second vehicle were hurt.

The last we heard from Cole Hamels, he was owning up to hitting Bryce Harper with a pitch on purpose. Hamels was suspended five days for his uncommon honesty, and he was so shaken up that upon his return to action on Sunday, he allowed a run to the Padres.
Given all of this other Cole Hamels news, then, it's been pretty easy to forget the original and important Cole Hamels news - he's a pending free agent who doesn't seem to be close to an extension agreement with the Phillies. What's the latest, Howard Eskin?
Just reported on Sports Final @NBCPhiladelphia that I'm told cole hamels agent has told Phillies they r looking for "7" year deal.— Howard Eskin (@howardeskin) May 14, 2012
Cliff Lee was given a five-year contract with an option. Roy Halladay was given a three-year contract with an option. Ryan Howard was given a five-year contract with an option. Chase Utley was given a seven-year contract and now who knows what's going on with him. All along it's been reported that the Phillies are fine with Hamels' desired annual salary, but aren't so fine with his desired length. A seven-year contract would be quite a long contract.
An agreement could still be reached, obviously. Maybe Hamels would settle for six years and an option. Maybe the Phillies are willing to go to seven. Maybe anything. Hamels is 28 years old and his numbers so far this season are outstanding. One way or another, Cole Hamels is going to get paid. And as always, it's difficult to imagine him getting paid by someone other than the Phillies.

I'm a former scout. But, I'm an atheist these days. As of this year, gays are allowed in the scouts. But, atheists are still blatantly discriminated against and barred from joining the scounts. Am I still welcome at an event like this? I would certainly like to help celebrate all that is good about the scouts. But, I don't want to be run out with pitchforks either. What's a heathen to do?

Fed Up - Not feeling a lot of sympathy here. Religion is a private matter. Let's keep it there. It doesn't need to be in the public square.
Your complaint seems to be that you're receiving push back from people who don't want their tax dollars used to help religious organizations to proselytize. Are you opposed to following our laws?

Things I liked:Power, accuracy and stability. This is third Gamo rifle from PA and by far its the best. I always check the screws for tightness, I check the barrel for any small objects or dirt and lastly I check all the moving parts for burs and smoothness. This rifle out of the box was just about perfect
Things I would have changed:I'm not big on changes for change sake. I don't see anything I would change, even the included scope works fine. Personally I like to change any included scope with 3x9x50's
What others should know:Most of my shooting is targets paper and field. This gun knocks out just about everything out to 30 and 50 yids. This is a .22 cal. and would make a great hunting rifle beyond the 60 yards I shoot.
Things I liked:Maybe I lucked out but this .22 Gamo puts my pcp equivalents to shame. Takes out small game humanely with the proper shot (of course)and can even shoot Eun Jins in tight groupings.
Things I would have changed:0. For the money, a no brainer for me.
What others should know:If I were to have to grab an air rifle in any emergency...it will probably be this one. And I own some bigger caliber Pcps. No pump or tank needed, can keep firing, accurately throws big pellets, and is relatively light as a feather. (I'd also have my side arm btw)
good comment from G.Austin on this thread. Thanks. Just took the Stalker out for a target spin (haven't in a while) and it was dead on again. There is something very good to be said of this rifle.
Spring guns and gas spring guns have a lot of mechanical vibration before the pellet starts traveling down the bore. Spring guns more so than gas. Shooting off a solid rest is not a good idea. A rice sand bag or a hand upon a rest is the ideal situation for this gun. I shoot against a post with my hand as a buffer and it shoots great.
Okay, so I get up this morning on a mission. I cannot accept that this Gama Stalker which has served me so well was completely off. So I set up a 'splatt' target at 25 yds. I shoot polymer predators (.22) and Premier hollowpoints one after the other. Boom. Perfect groupings. Free-hand! I can't miss. The Gamo shoots flawlessly again! And when it went crazy the other day, I was shooting from a mount. Makes no sense. Humidity on that day? Earthquake? Whatever the case, I now have my beloved Silent Stalker Whisper IGT back in the stable. So as of now, those five stars are good again! I hope....
So here's the joke. I write this glowing review last night, and today, I was trying to zero the said Gamo, and it was throwing pellets up, down, right, left, and out of sight...anywhere but the target. And I'm a reasonable marksman. I couldn't believe it. The rifle went haywire! Didn't matter what pellet I shot. So ummm, hold those five stars for a bit....
Things I liked:Size, weight of the rifle. Amazing accurate. Nice balance. Cocking effort is not too bad for a powerful rifle.
Things I would have changed:Scope. On mine the windage adjustment will not stay put. It moves about two clicks with each shot. Cover on or off no difference. Going to call PA about the scope.
What others should know:Mount the scope correctly, This gun has some recoil. Take the scope off the rings and tighten down the pin. On the rail make sure it is tight to the rifle and that the pin is in the hole and tight. Then mount the scope base and make sure the stop pin is tight. This thing will move on you if you don't have things tight. Now that I have everything locked down the scope will not hold windage adjustment. My gun seems to really like heavy pellets, with JSB Diabolo Exact Heavy being just fantastic. I hope my scope is just a bad one. This is a fantastic gun.

Times Herald
---- — VINCENNES — The Washington girls golf team finished second out of ten at sectional competition on Saturday, Sept. 21 with North Daviess finishing in seventh at the Country Club of Old Vincennes.
The Hatchets finished second to Vincennes Rivet with a score of 372, advancing to the regional this Saturday at Country Oaks. "Everyone knew Rivet was going to win," said Washington coach Morris Petty. "Our biggest challenge was getting one of those next two spots." The Hatchets were lead by junior Natalya Meinhart who shot a total of 80. Both Washington and North Daviess struggled with putting throughout the day due to the fast pace of the greens. "The greens (at Vincennes) are really quick and undulating," said North Daviess coach Brett Melton. "Everyone's struggling with them." North Daviess finished with a total of 399, lead by Cassie Knepp who shot 95 for the day, a score that was unable to put them into the top three at the competition. "I told them that if they shot lower than 400 we'd have a chance and we did. It just wasn't our day," said Melton. "They gave 100 percent effort and that's all I asked. We're competing against much bigger schools and we're competitive and the girls should be proud of that." While the season may be over for North Daviess, Washington will continue on to regional competition next week. "They're excited," said Petty talking about the players on the team. "They played really well." With only four players on the team and no seniors, Petty said he knew that the team could be competitive and wasn't too worried by the time the team had finished the first nine holes, making the turn five shots ahead of Lincoln. "We thought they would be our main threat," said Petty of the team that would finish third when the day was over. Washington will now head to Country Oaks for regional competition this Saturday. The top three teams and top five low individuals from non-qualifying teams advance to the state finals in Franklin on Oct. 4.

CHALMETTE, La. - A lawsuit has been filed to block a recently approved monthly fee for the St. Bernard Parish fire department.
Peter Rupp of Arabi is alleging that the $32 fee attached to parish water bills is unconstitutional because it is an illegal tax.
In his lawsuit, Rupp requests a temporary injunction to stop the measure.
Judge Robert Buckley ordered the St. Bernard Parish Council and President Dave Peralta to file briefs before a September 28 court hearing to rule on the injunction.
Parish officials approved the fee last month, saying it is the only way to avoid laying off fire department employees. The fee expires in December, when parish residents will vote on a proposition for a 20-mill tax is to shore up fire department.
Parish officials say the fire department has an annual budget deficit of $5.5 million.

The Worth County School Board received information last night about a possible security threat today at Worth County High.
The Worth County Sheriff's Office and Fire Department were at the school earlier this morning conducting a security check before school started.
The 'all-clear' has been given and classes have started. The school will operate on 'heightened alert' today.
Heather Greene issued this statement on behalf of the board of education-
"Officials with the Worth County Board of Education say schools will operate under heightened alert today after they received information last night."
"Firefighters and police checked the school early this morning and cleared the high school to open as normal. This precautionary measure is part of an ongoing investigation."
Parents are urged to leave their children in school, and not check them out.

Young Lab's problem behavior: He jumps up on furnitureTuesday, January 3rd, 2012
Question: We have a 18-month-old Lab and he is very nice dog. But we are having trouble with him getting up on the bar. He is happy dog when we got him and loves his walks. There is anything that we should do to keep him off the bar and be a happy dog? — Chris
Answer: A Lab is a pretty big dog to be climbing up on the bar in your house. If you want to stop a behavior, first figure out why it is happening. In this case, why is your dog inclined to get up on the bar? He could be looking for food, trying to see out of the house, chasing a cat, trying to get away from another dog/animal, or height seeking because he is afraid of an outside stimulus.
You can figure out the "why" of what is happening based on when it occurs, which stimuli are present when he does this and if the bar is near a window where he can see out. If you can't figure out why he is doing it, just videotape him and you will have the answer.
Once you find out why it is happening, just eliminate the reward. For example, don't leave food out on the counter, confine him to a different part of the house or close the blinds. You can also move the bar stools that he may be using to launch himself onto the bar. If he has an anxiety-related problem (e.g., thunderstorm phobia), see your veterinarian about which course of action you should take.

Hotel website had serious error regarding closeness to airport, saying it was 1.6 km when it was actually 40 km. Staff provided totally incorrect distance to airport saying it was 1 km when it was actually 40km. Instead of a small taxi fare, I had to pay $25 taxi fare from airport to hotel and the following day another $25 taxi fare. Staff agreed to provide a wakeup call, but didn't do it. Staff agreed to order a taxi, but didn't until it was too late to get to the airport in time to catch my flight. I was assessed a $344 surcharge by the airline for a replacement flight.

Enactus (formerly SIFE) is an international non-profit organization that brings together student, academic and business leaders who are committed to using the power of entrepreneurial action to improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in need. Guided by academic advisors and business experts, the student leaders of Enactus create and implement community empowerment projects around the globe. The experience not only transforms lives, it helps students develop the kind of talent and perspective that are essential to leadership in an ever-more complicated and challenging world. Expanding into 39 countries, Enactus involves 1,600 participating colleges and universities.
An annual series of regional and national competitions allow Enactus teams to present their project results before a panel of judges involving many of today's top business leaders. The top teams from each bracket at the Regional Competition advance to the National Competition and compete against some of the nation's most elite universities. During the 2010-2011 school year, the Bryan College Enactus team advanced to the National Exposition (see story) that was held in Minneapolis, MN. Likewise, the 2011-12 and 2012-13 teams advanced to nationals held in Kansas City, MO.
Enactus has many corporate and organizational partners that support and sponsor the organization such as Wal-Mart, The Coca Cola Company, Lowes, Pepsico, Procter and Gamble, and Frito Lay, among others. During the regional and national competitions, Enactus students have the opportunity to network with professionals from many of these corporations and build contacts for future employment. In the last few years, Bryan College Enactus students have been employed by companies such as Clorox, SAP, Aramark, Sam's Club, and Northwestern Mutual.

After being courted by numerous high-profile Division I basketball programs, Hill verbally committed to the Jacksonville State Gamecocks earlier this week — one of the top commitments in coach Heath Burns' tenure at Parrish. Hill chose Jacksonville State over Murray State, Austin Peay, Western Kentucky, Jacksonville University, UAB and Troy, after a visit last weekend to the school made him feel that it was "the place I wanted to be."
"After looking at the outstanding facilities and academic programs that Jacksonville State offers, along with the wonderful time I had spending with the coaches, being a Gamecock was for me," Hill said.
"The fact that it will be an easy trip for my family, friends and the community to come see me play, also helped influence my decision. I am looking forward to playing for (JSU head basketball) coach James Green — it's going to be hard as he pushes his players like the way coach Burns pushes us, but it's because he wants the best out of us."
Burns said that Hill's 6-7 size, along with his offensive and defensive skills have made him a naturally targeted recruit, but coaches like Green have zeroed in on Hill's three-point shooting, court awareness and ability to play a variety of positions.
"Coach Green told us that he likes the way that Barry can be a versatile offensive and defensive player and has the ability to stretch the floor as a power forward and eventually take advantage of smaller players at small forward," Burns said.
"He liked our program and the mindset Barry will have coming out of Parrish. He thought that Barry is the type of player that could propel JSU to a level where the Gamecocks can compete for the Ohio Valley Conference title all four years he's there."
Important intangibles such as a strong work ethic, good communication with teammates and excellent character traits helped made Hill an even more attractive prospect. "Barry's such a special young man — selfless on the court and a quality young man off of it," Burns said.
"He's the type of person that makes a great representative for any program, be it college or high school. We're extremely proud of what he's accomplished and know he has a very bright future at JSU."

Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle is going to Washington to sound the alarm over potentially crippling federal budget cuts. A wide range of automatic cuts, known as sequestration, is scheduled to kick in at the beginning of March.
Battle, as well as the mayors of Decatur and Enterprise, is planning the trip to Washington to explain to federal lawmakers that the cuts would kill jobs and devastate the economy of the Tennessee Valley.
The cuts were scheduled to hit at the end of last year and they've been delayed while Congress tries to make a new budget deal, but Battle said delay after delay doesn't help either.
"The Congress and administration's idea of fixing it at the very end is to push it off for two more months or push it off for three more months," said Battle. "That causes stagnation in your economy. That causes stagnation in your business community. That does not let anyone plan on growth and jobs. It does not let anyone plan on future projects they want to work on."
On Tuesday, President Barack Obama proposed an interim deal to cut some spending and raise taxes to put off the cuts by several more months.
Battle said such delays do more harm than good.

FORT WORTH, Texas —
Jurors have started deliberating whether a man convicted of killing a North Texas pastor should be sentenced to death or life in prison without parole.
During closing arguments Tuesday, prosecutors said Steven Lawayne Nelson deserves the death penalty because his crime was heinous and vicious. Prosecutors said Nelson killed the Rev. Clint Dobson and severely beat a secretary at Arlington's NorthPointe Baptist Church because he wanted to steal a car.
Prosecutors say Nelson has committed crimes since he was a young teen and has been given many chances to rehabilitate, but his crimes escalated. They say he killed an inmate while jailed before this murder trial.
Defense attorneys asked jurors to spare Nelson's life. They say he was a neglected child who didn't get the help he needed.

Burnley expect Premier League season ticket sell-out
8:30am Tuesday 3rd June 2014 in Sport
BURNLEY have less than 2,000 season tickets remaining for their Premier League return, and a sell-out is anticipated after the club announced a freeze on 'early bird' renewal prices for 2015/16.
With the cheapest adult price set at £229 under the 'early bird' offer, based on the purchase of a full-price season ticket this year and discount of £100 advance payment on the 2015/16 early bird prices.
That means should the Clarets retain their top flight status supporters could be watching Premier League football for just £12 a game.
And to help spread the payments the club is offering three-month and six-month direct debit options until the end of July.
Clarets Co-Chairman Mike Garlick said: "Explaining now to supporters that we are freezing the 2015/2016 renewal prices will hopefully take out a lot of the uncertainty about pricing for the future.
"Our determination is always to make sure that season ticket holders receive the best value for their continued commitment.
"And with less than 2,000 season tickets remaining, now is the best time to purchase to make sure you get the best seats available for the upcoming season."
The club have a limit of 15,000 season tickets to sell for the 2014/15 season, with adult prices now starting from £499.

Biography of Captain Henry Morgan:
Early Life of Henry Morgan:
The Privateers:
The Attack on Portobello:
The Raid on Maracaibo:
The Sack of Panama:
Death of Captain Morgan:
Legacy of Captain Morgan:
Morgan was already a legend when he died and was famous on both sides of the Atlantic. He left behind an interesting legacy. Although his attacks put constant pressure on relations between Spain and England, English of all social classes loved him and thrilled to his exploits. Diplomats loathed him for violating their treaties, but the almost supernatural fear the Spanish had for him most likely helped drive them to the negotiating tables in the first place.
All in all, Morgan probably did more harm than good. He helped establish Jamaica as a strong English colony in the Caribbean and was responsible for lifting England's spirits during an otherwise grim time in history, but he also was guilty of the death and torture of countless innocent Spanish civilians and spread terror far and wide on the Spanish Main.
Captain Morgan remains a legend today and his effect on popular culture has been considerable. He is considered one of the greatest pirates ever, even though he was actually not a pirate but a privateer (and would have been offended to be called a pirate). Certain places are still named for him, such as Morgan's Valley in Jamaica and Morgan's Cave on San Andres Island. His most visible presence today is probably as the mascot for the Captain Morgan brands of spiced rum and spirits. There are hotels and resorts named for him, as well as any number of small businesses in the places he frequented.

That Isaiah Whitehead guy that is playing for Seton Hall next season is kind of good. I don't even think Superman could do this.
Here is 5'6, Seton Hall (or overseas) bound guard, showing out during his senior year at Princeton Day Academy!
Rob sat down with the ever-so-lovely Erin Sharoni at SB Nation's NYC TV studios this morning to discuss the Louisville vs. Kentucky tilt tomorrow. So, SOJ peeps, who ya got in this game?
SOJ's Robert Manganaro sits down with SBNation's Erin Sharoni. Dude is smooth... in front of the camera. Rob may have mixed up Syracuse & Pitt's departure to the
A10, ACC, but the slight distraction is understandable.
Seton Hall Commit, Aquille Carr, dropped 19 points as Patterson defeated Price in the Brandon Jennings Invitational last night. Carr broke multiple ankles before being named MVP of the game.
A day after Rutger's Eli Carter dropped 40 points in the JSBL, Fuquan Edwin responds with 39 of his own. Josh Newman of the APP checks in with Fu' after the performance that saw him add 8REB/4-3PT in SVJ's 120-110 victory over Larson Ford.
In a recent interview, Kyle Anderson states that location will not be a factor when deciding on where to play his college ball. Seeing as location was seen as the most favorable advantage Seton Hall had over the others in play, this news doesn't bode well for Anderson's Pirate recruitment.

ILLINOIS -- The Illinois Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday for a new trial for Peorian Christopher Coleman, convicted of aggravated criminal sexual assault and armed robbery in 1994.
Coleman, citing new witnesses, appealed his conviction four years ago but was turned down at the Circuit Court and the Appellate Court levels.
Tuesday, an attorney from the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University asked the Illinois Supreme Court to consider ordering a new trial.
"There are five new witnesses who have come forward," said Coleman's attorney Karen Daniel, "or have been compelled to come forward since the trial..were not available at trial...and each of these witnesses was present at the crime scene because each one of these witnesses were participating in the crime, and each one says Christopher Coleman was not there"
The prosecutor argues that Judge Michael Brandt was correct in 2009 when he rejected Coleman's request for a new trial.
Brandt had stated that the new witnesses in the case would not have changed the jury's verdict in the original trial.

Honestly, i've been using the M these 2 days for my event shooting..and i absolutely hated it..i guess for studio and still work it works fine but for faster action in variable lighting, it failed miserably.
I can't replicate your experience, but I used my M with 22/2 lens today at a birthday party for my neighbors 5-year-old daughter and it did OK. It performed better when the kids were semi stationary than when they were running around, but overall it performed better than I expected.
The image quality was really good, even at 3200 ISO. My biggest issue was recovery time between shots rather than AF performance. I missed some shots waiting for the camera to write to the SD card at times. I was pretty pleased with the video as well.
After 5 days with the M+ 22/2, I'm very happy with it. I've mostly used it for landscapes and shots of the kids around the house and it has performed very well in my opinion.
