Oracle Launches JRuby Website
Oracle has just released the first, major JRuby application, thus demonstrating the viability of the Java port of the Ruby scripting language.
Oracle's Web 2.0 platform, Oracle Mix, is the home of the first major JRuby application. JRuby is a Java implementation of the Ruby scripting language which became popular mainly due to the Rails Web framework. Sun took on the two JRuby core developers, Charles Nutter and Thomas Enebo, a year ago to promote development of the Ruby port.
The third programmer in the JRuby gang, Ola Bini, was a member of a team that completed the new Oracle site in just five weeks. Besides Bini, the team consisted of three colleagues from Thoughtworks and one Oracle employee. The new site is based on Oracle's database, application, directory server, proprietary single sign-on solution and JRuby on Rails. Oracle Mix will support communications between the company and customers in future, providing information to developers and giving them a platform to exchange information and views.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
(FOX19) - It has to be one of the biggest cases of government waste in recent years. The Obama administration pouring some $535 million dollars into solar company Solyndra.
Then less than a year later, the company files for bankruptcy and all that taxpayer money…gone.
In the past 24 hours, two other solar companies were given a combined $1 billion dollars in the same kind of loan guarantees.
Could these companies fall flat as well?

The Ravens announced that they have reached reserve/future contract with eight practice squad members from the 2013 team.
Those players are WR Kamar Aiken, DT Cody Larsen, OT David Mims, TE Nathan Overbay, WR Gerrard Sheppard, QB Nick Stephens, C Reggie Stephens and TE Matt Furstenburg.
#Ravens sign P-squad to reserve/future deals: WR Aiken, TE Furstenburg, DT Larsen, T Mims, TE Overbay, WR Sheppard, QB Stephens, C Stephens— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) December 30, 2013
Furstenburg went on injured reserve near the end of the season with Overbay being signed to the practice team to replace him.
The lone player to end the year on the practice squad that hasn't signed a reserve/future contract is running back Jonas Gray.
It's still possible Gray signs one and becomes a member of the offseason roster.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Nice but took a while to recieve
Celebrate the Season Magnetic Christmas Cards Really liked the finished product. Think the concept & website is great too. I was dissatisfied with how long it took to recieve them in order to mail out to family & friends. If production time took half of what it did (it took a full 7 days) & week+ time for shipping I would have been able to get them out before Christmas. If you want to make them out for Christmas give yourself 3+ weeks time.
Love this card
Christmas Bulb Christmas Photo Cards This design worked perfectly for our first Christmas card as Mr. & Mrs. We were able to personalize with color, text and a wedding photo very easily. The price per card was lower than many other sites I visited and the selection was endless on Magnetstreet.com. The cards shipped very quickly and turned out beautiful! They were printed on high quality paper too!
Better than expected
Damask Holidays Christmas Photo Cards The cards came out beautiful and just has I had expected, but during the period when my cards were in production, I received a call from MagnetStreet telling me that my picture wasn't suitable because it was too grainy, blurry, and unfocused. The woman I spoke with asked if I wanted to change the picture or just keep the one I had (which I highly appreciate, that's very good customer service and shows that MagnetStreet takes pride in their work). I told the woman to just use the original picture because I was already late ordering my Christmas cards, and I didn't want too much time to pass, but when I got the picture, it was perfect! So I don't know why they were so worried. Either way though, I'm very happy with my cards.
Great Service
All Wrapped Up Christmas Photo Cards I've used Magnet Street initially for my save the date magnets for my wedding and haven't stopped since with my wedding invitations, birth announcements, and now Christmas cards and I'll never use anything else. No other sites compares with the quality, price, individual attention they give, accuracy of order, and quickness with getting everything delivered on time or before. I always get compliments on everything I send out.
Quick, Easy and Stylish
Joyful Wishes Folded Christmas Cards I used Magnetstreet for my wedding save the dates and invitations and they did a great job. Again, I trusted them with my Christmas cards and they turned out great. I think this design looks even better in person and picture was very clear. I changed the color of the block behind "JOY" to dark green to be more holiday looking, and then changed the text to a cream color. I also changed the typeface to something more traditional looking and our names to a green to match the front. I also added a bible verse about joy to the top inside panel. The cardstock is very sturdy too. The only thing that I was a bit disappointed in was the size of the print. It came out a lot smaller than I thought and did not fill as much of the space on the card as I wanted. I used size 9 font, and would recommend maybe a size 10. It's still readable and very pretty. The order shipped very quickly and within a week my cards were made, delivered and I've mailed them out. Thanks!

Certificate Programs
The Center for Lifelong Learning offers three leadership programs that lead to certification. Most certification courses are offered on the seminary campus, in Decatur, GA, with scheduling convenient for working participants. There are no academic prerequisites for admission to the programs, and there is no time limit on completion of the coursework. Most courses are open to participants who do not wish to complete a certification program.
Christian Spiritual Formation
For both laypersons and ministers, this program is designed to develop skills in offering spiritual leadership to others. The curriculum includes an introductory "immersion" experience, six elective courses, a practicum, and a pilgrimage. Coursework is typically completed in three to five years, and as many as three elective courses may be completed at our partner institution, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
Compass Points (A Certification Program for Camp and Conference Leaders)
Columbia Theological Seminary and the Presbyterian Church Camp and Conference Association (PCCCA) have developed a certification program for camp and conference leaders. Participants who successfully complete all eight courses, offered at the seminary, as pre-events at PCCCA Annual Conferences in the fall, and as an independent study, will receive a certificate at the conclusion of their studies. For additional information about the scope of the program, click here.
Spiritual Direction
The Certificate in Spiritual Direction is a two year training program for those seeking to discern their call and develop and strengthen their skills and gifts as spiritual directors. Grounded in the tradition of Christian spirituality, the curriculum includes four intensive weeklong classes, individual readings and reflections, and a yearlong practicum with supervision.

Women in Love is widely regarded as D.H. Lawrence's greatest novel. It continues where 'The Rainbow' left off with the third generation of Brangwens: Ursula Brangwen, now a teacher at Beldover, a mining town in the Midlands, and her sister Gudrun, who has returned from art school in London. The focus of the novel is primarily on their relationships: Ursula's with Rupert Birkin, a school inspector, and Gudrun's with Gerald Crich, an industrialist, and later with a sculptor called Loerke.
An unabridged reading by Maureen O'Brien.
©1920 D.H Lawrence (P)2011 AudioGO Ltd
"Great reading of an unworthy text"
This is a great choice if you already know you're a fan of D.H. Lawrence; Maureen O'Brien is exceptional. I, however, am not a fan of D. H. Lawrence. Vehemently. This is an awful novel that's been too highly praised for too long simply because elitist turn of the century white dudes thought it was super deep. He uses the word 'inchoate' about ten times on one page and the whole thing is a catastrophe. Don't waste your money.
"Perfect narration of a masterpiece"
Lawrence's ability to express the subtle, normally unacknowledged forces that guide our thoughts, combined with his unique sense of spirituality and meaning, compellingly bereft of any doctrine or explicit metaphysics, make for a novel that is like nothing else. What's particularly amazing is that in Women in Love and its prequel, The Rainbow, the main characters don't actually get up to all that much, and yet Lawrence's articulation of their experiences, conscious and unconscious, makes their stories stranger and more epic than any tale of 'great events'.
As for the narration, Maureen O'Brien does a flawless job of narrating such a challengingly idiosyncratic novel. I feel very grateful to her!
"Long but rewarding journey through four lives"
This is part of my quest to read or re-read the classics I should have read (or read more thoroughly) at university. It is always great to read Lawrence: he is the only author who can create eroticism in settings as mundane as cattle in a pasture, as unexpected as water lilies and as shocking as someone drowning. His recurring themes of love (with or without marriage), brotherly love, the primacy of creativity, and the obligation to live a life of purpose pervade the story of two sisters who meet two young men in their village. Through various episodes (all beautifully painted) love is found and lost, marriages are made or avoided, lives are changed, shattered or destroyed. All of this encased in richly evocative language saturated with metaphor. He is above all a passionate writer and his characters demonstrate their passions about issues, each other, societal development and commerce. Not an easy read but utterly rewarding. Maureen O'Brien is a superb narrator.

|Ruma Chatterji helps a boy fasten to his hand the butterfly he colored as part of Chatterji's science lesson.
As recipient of the Civic Engagement Scholarship, Clarion University junior Ruma Chatterji has expectations to fulfill. The scholarship pays her tuition and fees for an academic year in exchange for service to the community. The scholarship was initiated by Al Lander ('74) and his wife, Jan, to encourage students to work with the community.
In applying for the scholarship, Chatterji proposed working with local first graders, introducing scientific concepts including conservation, simple biological processes and the evolution of animals.
"I'm not an education major, but I love children," said Chatterji, an environmental biology major with minors in psychology and sustainability management.
She spent Fridays during the spring semester in the first grade classrooms of Clarion Elementary, where she taught lessons and reinforced them with projects and activities. Her time with the students culminated with an April nature walk, which brought to life the concepts they learned.
Chatterji is no stranger to volunteering her time. She works with AmeriCorps, a network of national service programs that engage Americans in intensive service to meet the nation's critical needs in education, public safety, health and the environment. Through AmeriCorps, Chatterji serves as residential coordinator for Clarion's Upward Bound program during the academic year.
She's happy to give back to Clarion University and the community, both of which have been so welcoming to her.
Chatterji was born in New York City, where she lived until she was 9 years old, when her family moved back to their native India. First her sister, then she, returned to the United States for college. She researched and applied to schools with strong biology programs. She was accepted at 16 of them but chose Clarion because of the immediate connection she felt with the university community. Chatterji said right away they treated her like family, supporting and advising her.
Now, she's more certain than ever that she made the right choice.
Chatterji is working with Dr. Suzie Boyden, professor of community and forest ecology, researching 10-year impacts on shelter wood and forest wood and comparing old growth and new growth forests, and she works in the laboratory of Dr. Andrew Keth, professor of forensic and conservation biology, learning research techniques.
"My advisor wasn't kidding when she said Clarion has a lot of opportunities," Chatterji said. "Starting out as a freshman and getting to do research is something you don't get a chance to do at other colleges."
Outside of her academic responsibilities and service commitments, Chatterji is a community assistant at Campus View suites. When she finds spare time, there's always a way to fill it.
"There's so much to do on campus. I've never had to worry about being bored."

Final Regular Season Home Games
The #7 ranked SCSU Huskies will play their final regular season home games this weekend when the Michigan Tech Huskies come to town. SCSU currently sits in the top spot of the WCHA and needs just 7 more points to secure the conference title this season, a feat they have never accomplished. The Michigan Tech Huskies are currently tied for 10th place in the conference and are not ranked nationally.
This week two SCSU Huskies were again honored by the WCHA for their performance last weekend in Colorado Springs against the Tigers. Freshman, Jonny Brodzinski is the WCHA Rookie of the Week after a four point weekend featuring a trio of goals. Brodzinski has 17 goals and 10 assists this season and leads the team with a +25 on the plus/minus. The other St. Cloud State Husky getting attention this week is sophomore, Andrew Prochno. Prochno is the Defensive player of the week after charting five points in the Colorado College series. He scored a goal and notched an assist in Friday's loss then finished the weekend with three assists in Saturday's 5-2 victory.
Both games of the series can be heard on KVSC. Friday's coverage begins at 7 p.m. with the Jeff Giesen Show, an in-depth look at the post-season action for the SCSU women's hockey team. The puck drops at 7:37 for game one of the series. On Saturday coverage will begin at 6:45 p.m. with a 7:07 drop of the puck. Saturday is Senior Night, so tune in for a special senior salute that takes a look back at the careers of the three seniors on the team; Taylor Johnson, Ben Hanowski and Drew LeBlanc. Follow and participate in the action all weekend long on our Twitter feed.

Along Park Avenue in Cranston there are dozens of business, but many say their could be dozens more if Rhode Island would cut its corporate business tax from 9 to 7 percent.
That's what the governor wants.
Governor Lincoln Chafee (I-RI) said, "I'd like to see us cut our taxes and get more competitive and certainly lowering the corporate tax from 9 to 7 percent, put's us in a very competitive position."
The idea is to create new businesses, and attract more from other states.
They could fill–up empty office spaces, and pump cash into local banks.
ABC6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis said, "Initiatives such as this came from reports like this one from the National Tax Foundation. It says Rhode Island currently has the 4th worst business tax climate in America."
The General Assembly is considering the business tax cut, but has yet to vote.
While many lawmakers want to cut taxes, some say it's not enough.
They want the state to cut business regulations and speed up permitting.
State Rep. Joe Trillo (R-RI) said, "I talked to two developers just on the last week that told me it's taking three and four years to get the permits in place, to do multimillion dollar developments. So much so that one gave up."
CVS, one of the state's largest companies, supports cutting the corporate tax. But it opposes the Governor's plan to eliminate business tax credits that save CVS 15 million dollars per year.

Bully Dog Information
Bully Dog is a leader in the diesel performance arena. They are continually developing new products which improve diesel engine performance or increase fuel mileage. Diesel engines can be improved a number of ways. Bully Dog builds electronic engine tuners and modules, exhaust kits, air intake kits and more for diesel applications. Many electronic products let you select the performance level. You can dial in more power or better fuel mileage in any number of variations and settings. You can choose the performance result. Each product is engineered and tested thoroughly in across the United States so you get the performance part that you expect. By testing in multiple locations, Bully dog can be sure that a part installed in Utah will work just as well in Pennsylvania, Texas or Maine. To go one step further: Testing is done in different weather conditions and under varing loads. These methods further insure that you are getting useful products made to increase performance.
Recently, Bully Dog has launched a line of performance parts for gasoline powered vehicles. Many of the same product development principles apply to gasoline based performance parts.
Bully Dog developed the WatchDog, a digital engine control and management tool used to increase fuel mileage. By monitoring over 20 engine parameters, the WatchDog can coach you on tips to reduce fuel costs by increasing fuel mileage. It works with vehicles 1996 and newer through the OBD II port. Some of the 20 engine parameters may not be read by the WatchDog, depending on your vehicle. This is just one of the many useful engine programming tuners from Bully Dog.
Bully Dog exhaust systems are quality made of aluminized or stailess steel with smooth bends to minimize exhaust restrictions. Smooth flowing exhaust is important on most vehicles including turbo charged trucks because it reduces the exhaust temperature. This in turn increases power and performance.
Bully Dog Cold Air Induction Systems allow engines to breathe better with increased horsepower, torque and improved fuel efficiency. They also lower exhaust gas temperatures, resulting in performance gains. Cold air induction systems have shown 10 percent great air flow, 10 degree lower intake temperatures, 10-15 more horsepower, 10-30 ft.lbs of torque and more. Block out the heat with a Bully Dog Cold Air Induction System.

A woman hit by an Atlanta police officer speeding to a call filed suit over the accident on Wednesday.Kenyatta White says her life has been turned upside down since she was hit by that officer. The mother of two wants compensation for her injuries and more training for officers.Jackie Culp died from her injuries when Fulton County police say Atlanta Police Officer Joshua Sieck sped through an intersection at Cascade and Fairburn roads last July. The officer was responding to a call when he hit Culp's car and another car driven by White. White had her young children in the car. She says she constantly relives the crash in her mind."It's been a major setback in my life. I haven't been able to move on with my life because I lost my vehicle out there. I haven't been able to work," White said. "Physically I'm better, but mentally, I'm still going through a lot of things."White's attorneys say she suffered head, neck and back injuries and -- more importantly -- emotional scars that have never healed. Her attorneys claim that the city of Atlanta has stonewalled all their efforts to talk about a claim, so they filed suit. "Total lack of communication to the point that even a non-governmental agency, an insurance company, would at least respond back as a professional courtesy and communicate. That hasn't happened," said Muwalie Davis, White's attorney.White's attorneys say the city responded by firing officer Sieck, but what they would like to see now, in addition to financial compensation, is more training for police who answer emergency calls."It's a training issue. Officers have to know and have to be trained There are always going to be times where officers have to rush to scenes of some emergency," said Robert Bozeman, White's attorney. "What has to be watched and monitored is...is there an abuse of those opportunities?" Atlanta's deputy attorney Eric Richardson said in a statement, in part, "The Law Department has requested information from Ms. White's lawyers and explained that the claim must be thoroughly investigated prior to any settlement discussions."White's Attorney dispute that, claiming they were never contacted about any information.

Less than a week ago, a high profile murder trial wrapped up here in Florida. The George Zimmerman case was seen all around the country. Zimmerman faced 2nd degree murder charges for the death of 17 year old Trayvon Martin in the town of Sanford. Zimmerman was aquitted.
The verdict sparked a controvery and a debate over civil rights and gun laws.
Bay County Educator and Community Activist, Janice Lucas is speaking out. "Disappointment, anger, but mad, but from a saddened perspective",Lucas says. She expected at least the manslaughter charge for Zimmerman. "I mean the situation is, a young man, 17 years old walking down the street with skittles and tea is thought to be suspicious by someone who follows him against the advice of a police dispatcher and then he ends up dead," Lucas says. But she understands how the jury reached it's verdict of not guilty.
Lucas says "the State of Florida tried the case, they were the prosecutor and it was their burden of proof, their burden to prove without a doubt that Zimmerman was guilty and it was the defense attorney's burden to just raise reasonable doubt".

The Transcend product is very handy and especially if you are goin for walk/Jog. Its light and has 4GB capacity which can handle lot many songs. The white display is clear and the shuffling part of songs is added advantage. The sound quality is also nice. The only drawback are the headphones which come with the product they are useless and you have to get your own from market. But this product is way to better then the I-pod shuffle which is very pricey and has no screen to view your songs.
I would recommend to buy the product its a good deal
I purchased this product for presentation to my daughter. She liked the product. Happy with the product. Timely delivery of the Flipkart helped me in delivering to her on her visit. If it has memory card slot also on this will be further good.
I have been using this player and its working very good.
Its battery life is pretty good and the quality of sound is above the bar, having folder navigation is more feature and fm is also fine.
I would recommend this to music lovers...
I have given this 4 stars because the feedback of keys is not up to the mark, write speed is only 2MB/s and there is no option to expand the memory .
The good points are :
the karaoke system is awesome.
FM with recording also impresses
Now how to create karaoke file (.lrc)
1. find lyrics online and copy it in txt file
2. download divx media subtitler ( freeware)
3. open mp3 and txt file in media subtitler and set it to sync
4. save the end file as .lrc and rename it as the song name is
5. copy in the same directory as of song and you are good to go
This product is good as a gift especially for girls (as I bought a Pink player). The sound quality is amazing and the bass is really good. Some of the other good features are high sound and connectivity. Overall, good product at this price.

1 answer
A:I'm sorry but we do not perform "rush" orders. This product currently has a 7 day production time frame which would mean if an order is placed today (3-8-11) it would not be ready to ship until (3-17-11). Production days are business days since we are closed on the weekend. If you need these before the 20th of March you would need to pay for an overnight delivery to have them by the 18th.

The leaves are ever changing, and with that change comes the 2013 edition of the Kentucky Colorfall program.
Coordinated by the Kentucky Department of Travel and Tourism and the Kentucky Department of Parks, ColorFall is now in its 28th year. ColorFall features a website (www.kentuckytourism.com/seasons) that provides a variety of information about the state's beauty at this time of year, including reports on stages of leaf changes from naturalists at parks throughout the Commonwealth.
Besides tips on timing trips to parks, forests and arboretums for peak color, ColorFall website visitors will also find listings of special fall events and a link to a Facebook page where you can upload digital photos of your own fall travels. The program, including the website, runs Sept. 23 through Oct. 31.
Dean Henson, the park manager at Big Bone Lick State Historic Site and a former naturalist, notes that many variables contribute to the degree of foliage color in any given fall season.
"The greater the frequency of crisp, sunny days with no evening frost, the more brilliant our colors," notes Henson, a popular contributor to ColorFall with his blog posts on foliage stages. "For those seasons when the fickle mix of environmental factors is just right, waiting eyes are rewarded with a beaming display of color."
Among many unique events of the season are the Governor's Autumn Bicycle Ride across Kentucky Oct. 3-6 (www.gabraky.com) and the Bourbon Chase team running race Oct. 18-19 (www.bourbonchase.com).

A day trip to Salzburg wouldn't be complete without....beer? Sure, the Mozart house and Sound of Music tour are two great things in the city, but beer makes these sights far more interesting ;-) Time for lunchy, and time for beer. The restaurant is very large and has multiple rooms. There's a bar which can seat about 8 people not far from the enterance. A little dark inside with some of the nautral lighting making its way through the windows. I arrived just after 11am, when the place was very empty, leaving an hour later saw a place that was closer to half-full.
One pleasant surprise of the house was the selection of beer. Initially when you see the four taps, you think it's a normal selection, then learn there are seven additional beers from the bottle. Styles include a marzen, christmasbock, dark weisse, Original 1901, and a "sparkling beer" called Frizzz which cost over €20. Luckily, the beer and food is affordable, with 300 ml pours from the tap at €3, and lunch combination are available too (weisswurst with pretzel and a beer, why not?). The food part was good, the beer part is mediocre, though they do well offering an array of glassware for their beer.
If you're looking for something new to try and aren't from Salzburg, Die Weisse may be worth a try. At least you have a lot of beer options.

Visited Die Weisse on 27.11.06 for beer and lunch. The place was very quiet (Monday). It is a large establishment with high ceilings with a modern feel to it. A nice collection of enamel beer signs hang above the area where we sat. The tables are set well apart adding to the airy roomy feel. I had a couple of their nice house brews, but did not take any notes, preferring to relax in the place. The food was okay without being brilliant. Clean toilets are located in the very modern basement part. The Braustuberl part of Die Weisse was closed, as was another part of the main building (roped off). I would like to visit the place when it is busier.

Walk straight down the narrow Linzergasse, till it becomes the main road Schallmooser Haupstrasse till you see Virgilgasse on the left, walk down that short street and you will see Die Wiesse on the end corner. Would take 15 mins from the river, Bus No 4 also runs along Schallmooser Haupstrasse. Large building with several rooms, and extension and beer garden outside. Basic decor with large tables for 4-8 and lively atmosphere. Seems popular with the younger folk. Service is good, though their own Wheat Beer naturally takes pride of place, and very good it is too. Does not open Saturday or Sundays, and go early to ensure a table. Food very good value and large portions. If you enjoy Wheat beers, then this is an essential visit with in Salzburg.
Update at September 2007
This is still a great place for good wheat beers, though seems to always be VERY busy in the evenings, and I think you would need to reserve a table for a meal! Always a lively atmosphere, wide ranging clientelle and good value food. Takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from the old town across the main bridge and along Linzergasse / Schallmooser Hauspstrasse until you reach Virgilstrasse and then turn left. Electric bus No 4 will take you along Schallmooser, get off at the 2nd stop and walk back.

BOULDER - It's no surprise Boulder has a great system for biking. From street bike lanes to beautiful paths, there's no shortage of ways to get around on two wheels.
Right now, the city says 10 percent of its population bikes to work every day. They hope to soon have as much as 15 percent biking to work, and there is a plan in the works to make it happen.
The City of Boulder is updating its Master Transportation Plan this year. One part of that plan includes updating bike paths across the city.
They hope to incorporate the use of e-bikes into this new plan. An e-bike is an electric bike. According to Colorado State Law, an e-bike can have a motor up to 750 watts, and it can be powered up to 20 mph.
This city's pilot project is putting this question to the test: Can regular bikes, e-bikes and pedestrians co-existing on the same paths?
Right now, e-bikes are only allowed to operate on roadways, those with street bike lanes. But until December 2014, the city is allowing them on the following paths: http://bit.ly/1hT4tze.
Marni Ratzel, the Senior Transportation Planner at the City of Boulder, says even though many people are unfamiliar with e-bikes, there's a growing population of users in Boulder alone. She's seeing vendors pop up that exclusively sell these types of bikes.
There is some push back when it comes to this pilot project. Some pedestrians are worried about sharing space with an e-bike, saying it's too dangerous because of its potential speed.
Ratzel says this is a concern cyclists and pedestrians have had for years when they have shared the same paths.
Ratzel says this one-year test will be vital in the city's final decision of allowing if e-bikes will coexist with pedestrians and other cyclists. They want residents to weigh in on over this next year at inspireboulder.com.
The city will take time to observe various paths across the city to monitor the interaction between e-bikes, cyclists and pedestrians.
Also, they will be surveying people on each path as well.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville man has been accused of holding up a Walmart clerk with a syringe.
According to an arrest report, the incident took place on Thursday, Dec. 6, just after 12:00 p.m., at the Walmart on Dixie Hwy., near Lower Hunters Trace.
Police say 51-year-old Brent Falin tried to make a purchase at the service counter, when he got into an argument with a store clerk. Police say he then pulled a syringe from his pants pocket and told the clerk, "I already killed three people today. I'll kill you. Give me the money."
The clerk told the man to leave, but he refused, according to the arrest report. Louisville Metro Police officers were called to the store, and allegedly found him still inside the business, with a syringe in his pants pocket.
He was taken into custody and charged with first degree robbery, according to the arrest report.

The price of a permit to carry a gun is about to increase. In two weeks, the GBI's Georgia Crime Information Center will increase the cost of background checks on weapons carry licenses.
Seven more dollars - that's how much money you'll have to pay for a background check if you're trying to get a weapons carry license in Georgia.
"I don't think the $7 will deter, I think it will probably make people frustrated if anything," said Cook County Probate Judge, Chase Daughtrey. Who also says in his county firearm permits have more than tripled in the first two months of 2013 to 63, compared to only 20 in 2012. And he doesn't see it slowing down anytime soon.
"Obviously when you're seeing these heinous acts in movie theatres, schools, and things like that, people are a little bit on edge and rightfully so," said Daughtrey.
Since 2009 the cost of a weapons carry license has increased from $39.25 to the new price of $79.25. This time around, the GBI's Georgia Crime Information Center's fee increase is for more extensive background checks.
"It needs to be more strict, I mean the more strict it is the less you have to worry about people getting them that shouldn't have them," said gun owner, Johnny Price.
And with recent shooting rampages across the county, gun sellers say they can't keep up with the consumer demand for firearms.
The manager at Valdosta Pawn says gun sales have doubled since this time last year. And he says it's women who are coming in to buy small revolvers like a snub nose .38.
Judge Daughtrey says extensive back ground checks are needed now more than ever. "I know it's a second amendment right but we have an obligation to make sure the general public is safe and to make sure that people who are not eligible do not receive a permit if they don't qualify for one," said Daughtrey.
The firearm permit cost increase will go into effect March, 1st.
The $79 license includes the fingerprint fee, application fee, and the most expensive, the background check.
And who should get a gun? The sheriff of DeKalb County is calling for more extensive mental health checks before someone can purchase a gun. Sheriff Tim Brown called on state lawmakers to include mental health status in background checks.
Dougherty County Sheriff Kevin Sproul says he agrees there are mentally ill people who don't need their hands on guns. But he has questions about how their mental background will be assessed and the cost involved.
"A price has to be paid for everything and you have to weigh that in, too. Are we talking about people with known illnesses who have been diagnosed or are we talking about possibly making this a part of an application process where whoever comes to get a gun permit has to go through this screening? If that's the case, then we're going to have to research it a lot more," said the sheriff.
A gun permit application currently only asks whether someone has been institutionalized for mental illness. Of the 20 pieces of gun-related legislation introduced by Georgia lawmakers. None would increase mental health screenings.

ELIZABETHTOWN, KY (WAVE) – In three years, five teachers have come forward and filed grievances against a Hardin County school administrator. The teachers accused Mark Thomas, principal of New Highland Elementary School, of using intimidation and threats against their jobs on a daily basis.
Four teachers filed grievances in 2010, but Hardin County Schools were unable to prove anything. In May 2013, the school district received a formal grievance from another teacher and a recorded conversation between she and Thomas.
"They were threats of intimidation, threats of harm, and you can listen to what those are," said John Wright, spokesperson for the Hardin County Schools.
In the recording Thomas tells the teacher she needs to leave the school because his wife knows of their affair and will retaliate.
"I'm saying what Rosie is going to do and what Rosie is willing to do, I do not like," Thomas says in the recorded conversation. "We know chief of police very well. She'll do whatever it takes."
The intimidation and the suggestion that his wife will harm the woman involved was enough evidence for the district, but it continued in the recording.
"She's not going to stop till she gets relief," said Thomas who stresses his wife believes he should be the one out of the affair who stays at New Highland Elementary. "You belong there Mark, you're going to stay there Mark. I mean that's her view."
In the recording Thomas also said Hardin County Superintendent Nannette Johnston is aware of the affair and told him either he or the teacher involved must resign. Wright said Johnston never said that and was unaware of their relationship until the tape came forward.
Thomas, who was originally suspended, was terminated after the tape. Wright said when Thomas was shown the recorded tape he waived his right to an appeal and resigned.
Hardin County Schools say Mark Thomas will never work in the district again. HCS has filed a letter with the Education Professional Standards Board where other districts can view Thomas' history.

For a woman who doesn't think she could be pregnant, many of the classic signs can be explained away. Fetal movement? It could be gas or indigestion. Morning sickness? A stomach virus. Weight gain? Bad diet and lack of exercise. Obese women may not gain noticeable amounts of weight during pregnancy. Women such as Staine, who have had children before, are less likely to miss the signs than first-time mothers, but it's not unprecedented.
Surprise births make for fun stories, and they can often yield healthy babies. But failing to detect a pregnancy presents risks to the health of both the mother and the child. For one, it means missing out on important prenatal testing, monitoring, and vaccinations. It also means the mother doesn't know to avoid smoking, drinking alcohol or doing drugs during the pregnancy.

The Licensing Commission, the independent body that grants the licenses UCI UCI World Tour, has already ruled definitively for the 2013 season. Therefore, we know the 18 teams which will hold that category for the next season and will have secured its presence in major races of the 2013 calendar.
This year, the Licensing Commission has taken a little longer than usual to set this list, especially to deal the final berths. Everything is because Alberto Contador's team, Saxo – Tinkoff, did not reach enough UCI points to secure a place in the World Tour, and since it would surely reach Argos – Shimano. Read more »

Fernando Rodney. Jeff Keppinger.
That's a list of the things that have gone better than expected for the 2012 Tampa Bay Rays. Fernando Rodney is having a great year. He's walked five hitters this year. He walked five hitters in his last two appearances for the Angels last season. The Rays are getting far more than they expected out of Fernando Rodney. Jeff Keppinger is hitting .325 and filling in well for Evan Longoria at third.
That's the list. Fernando Rodney and Jeff Keppinger.
That isn't to say everything's going wrong for the Rays. Ben Zobrist is having a very nice season, as is David Price and Matt Joyce. But they were supposed to. When the Rays built their roster for the 2012 season, they were thinking Zobrist, Joyce, and Price were going to be good. Every move the team made started with that foundation. So it hasn't been a total disaster for the organization. Not even close.
But now list the things that have gone worse than expected. Start with the injuries. It's pretty gauche for a team to complain about their injury problems when they play in the same division as the Blue Jays. Dave Stieb is going to undergo Tommy John surgery next week so the Blue Jays can fill up their punch card and get a free surgery. But the Rays lost Longoria, possibly for the year. Every team has to deal with injuries, but few have to deal with them happening to their best player.
Then there's a reasonable shot the front office took that didn't work. Carlos Pena was a good gamble for a team on a budget. He walked 101 times last year and hit 28 home runs. The Rays didn't have any great options at first. Pena has been miserable.
Maybe the biggest problem has been with the players who didn't blossom into good players as soon as the Rays were hoping. After last year's breakout, the Rays gave a decent amount of guaranteed money to Matt Moore, hoping they locked up an ace on the cheap. Instead, they got a young pitcher. Moore has been a stereotype. Wild. Flashes of brilliance. Erratic. Promising. But not a factory-assembled ace. Desmond Jennings was supposed to be Carl Crawford by now. He sort of has been! That's not a good thing.
James Shields is turning in one of those funky high-strikeout-low-walk-high-ERA seasons that he's good for every other year. B.J. Upton is having something of a down year; if he was never going to live up to 2007, at least he could replicate the last two seasons.
There's Fernando Rodney and Jeff Keppinger. There are three guys doing what they're supposed to. And then there's a whole lot of disappointment. But if you're thinking this is a sob story, it's not. The Rays are over .500. They're 2½ games out of the Wild Card. They're still a contender.
Which brings up the thesis here. If you're looking for a team to replicate the late surge of the 2011 Cardinals -- or, and I know this is crazy, the 2011 Rays -- look at the Rays. If Desmond Jennings starts to hit, you'll think, yep, that's what he's supposed to do. If James Shields and Matt Moore start mowing down hitters, you'll think, yep, that's what they're supposed to do. There's more latent, untapped talent on the Rays than any other team in baseball. If everyone lived up to expectations, the Rays would be jockeying with the Yankees right now instead of the Blue Jays.
The Rays went 35-20 over the last two months of the 2011 season to squeak into the playoffs. It could happen again. It's not exactly likely, but of any of the fringe contenders hanging around because of the second Wild Card, the Rays are underperforming their expectations by the most. They should be a lot better. There's still time for them to be.

Dorothy -
I suggest you step off the yellow brick road and look in the mirror.
on Apr 7, 2011 at 5:44 pm
And I think you are going to have to do some explaining and even have a bit of courtesy when Dorothy says something amusing and not far from the truth in this rather racist part of San Mateo County.
You and Menlo Voter must examine your lack of humor especially when I unveil a rather disconcerting message momentarily.
on Apr 7, 2011 at 5:47 pm
Not that Woodsiders or the Sheriff's Department are any more or less prejudiced or suspicious or paranoid than the rest of us, but exactly how many African American or Hispanic people live in Woodside, Pogo?
I suspect that this yellow brick road you speak of really does have yellow bricks when viewed from the other side of the freeway, and by freeway I don't mean I-280.
If there is no guilt in Woodside, there should be. It should come with the territory and should be reflected in the tax code, as it once was.

Now if Obama visited E. Palo Alto, I think that would be pretty cool but the residences there don't have money to help his re-election efforts. At lease the local school shuttles a few minority students in as tokens.

Have you seen the price of gas lately? The average price is $3.45 and that could go up even higher, if state lawmakers have their way.
A Senate committee voted Tuesday to increase the state gas tax for the first time in decades.
The vote comes as local drivers say the pain at the pump is back.
"It is ridiculous," said Darryl Hines. "Carpooling is priority. Me and my friend carpool like every day now."
A state Senate committee rewrote Gov. McDonnell's transportation funding reform bill. The proposal would restore and increase the gas tax, add a 1 percent fuel sales tax and allow localities to add another 1 percent tax to fuel.
It doesn't sound like much at first glance, but the proposed increase would amount to 5 to 11 cents a gallon more each year.
"If this passes this would be the first increase since 1986," said Michael O'Connor with the Virginia Petroleum, Convenience and Grocery Association. "That's why it hasn't happened."
When we crunched the numbers with the team at the VPCGA we found the increase could cost even more when accounting for inflation, something to the tune of $120 dollars more a year.
The House is likely to reject the measure.
"Well I think its a work in progress," said O'Connor. "I think that everybody sees the promised land, but everybody is taking a different path to get there."
This was a Senate committee vote. It goes to the full Senate later in the week.

We'll fight to keep local tips
10:00am Wednesday 7th May 2014 in Echo News
RECYCLING residents want local tips to stay open and fear amass increase in flytipping if a new supertip is built in Pitsea.
South Essex boasts some of the best recycling authorities in the country, with Rochford District Council consistently at the top of the national charts, but people fear that success could be scuppered if people are faced with a 20-mile round trip to a tip.
The Echo visited Rayleigh tip, on Castle Road, to gauge the reaction of residents disposing of their waste.
Lee Price, 48, of Whitehart Lane, Hockley, fears people won't travel the extra distance to get rid of their rubbish.
He said: "We're only in Hockley so it's common sense for us to come here.
"Especially when we are trying to recycle more and be more environmental, it seems ironic we are travelling all the way to Pitsea to do it, a bit of a waste of time.
"There's a good chance people will start flytipping more."
Rayleigh resident Michael Hart, 42, who was unloading carpets from a van, said he would not want to drive to Pitsea.
He said: "I know people in the building game and, out of all the tips I know, this is the busiest one.
"It's always busy so why change something that's not broken?
"It would be a problem for me, getting all the way to Pitsea, I'm not driving all the way up there and I imagine a lot of people would start flytipping because of that."
Bruce Taylor, 39, from Rochford, said closure of Rayleigh tip would be costly for him, as Rochford to Pitsea is a 24- mile round trip and, on April 1, the county council terminated its arrangement with the borough council allowing Rochford residents to use Southend tip.
He said: "Pitsea would be too far for me and I've got to pay to go to Southend.
"I think people would dump their rubbish elsewhere – the council will end up paying more money to clear it away.
"What they save on the roundabout, they'll lose on the swings."
Dave Blackwell, the leader of Canvey Independent Party as well as a town, borough and county councillor for the island, said his fellow councillors would oppose the closure of its tip.
He said: "I've been told that the tip is not going to close, but I wouldn't be the first politician to say something like that and then, the next minute, it's closed.
"My opinion was, if we've got something which we want to keep on Canvey which is an absolutely superb facility, why include it in a consultation and give people the idea it's going to close?
"All the local councillors have been campaigning 100 per cent to stop it."

But yes, the site in Castle Road does cause traffic back up especially at weekends.
Why a supertip? For the sake of public health, tips should be in easily accessible brownfield sites.
Rochford charges £10 for each piece of large rubbish to be removed and £5 for successive items. And people in Basildon get upset because they get charged a tenner for an unlimited number.
I really can't see the problem. Why not just have a one off charge for large items to be removed. Wouldn't that negate the need for people to remove it themselves - and prevent fly tipping.
Councils waste money on ridiculous minority projects that could easily be diverted to a proper refuse removal scheme.
I personally wouldn't mind paying a tenner for a number of large items. Fortunately a friend with a truck helped me out when I had to get rid of two old mattresses, a bed and some other stuff.
Not everyone has a friend with a truck.

The finalists for the Baseball Writer's Association of America were announced last night and the Rays have two finalists for American League Rookie of the Year, Chris Archer and Wil Myers. Jose Iglesias was also nominated for AL ROY honors. The full list of finalists and categories can be found here. Winners will be announced on Monday, November 11th.
Chris Archer tweeted out his thoughts on the nomination and extended congratulations to his teammate.
Being nominated for ROY is a dream. Thanks for all the love and support. I don't even need to win. Nomination is an honor in itself.— Chris Archer (@ChrisArcher42) November 6, 2013
Ps. Congrats to my friend, teammate & fellow North Carolinian @wilmyers for his nominations & accolades thus far.— Chris Archer (@ChrisArcher42) November 6, 2013
Sadly, Wil did not have another live interview on the announcement show last night, so we don't have any new screencaps of his hair. However, he did announce on twitter that he will be getting a haircut today, because that's all anyone could talk about yesterday.
And I'm getting my haircut tomorrow!— Wil Myers (@wilmyers) November 5, 2013
#Rays @wilmyers insists way hair looked on TV last night unintentional: "When I saw it I couldn't believe it. ... That was embarrassing.''— Marc Topkin (@TBTimes_Rays) November 6, 2013
David Price even joined in on the Wil-hair conversation,
Nice hair huh?! Hah big wil has never heard of a comb...but that's his style...let him be pic.twitter.com/faP2fRHCKt— David Price (@DAVIDprice14) November 5, 2013
-Rick Kriseman defeated incumbant Bill Foster in the St. Petersburg mayoral election last night, which plays to the Rays' advantage. By comparison, Kriseman is decidedly in favor of allowing the team to explore Stadium locations around Tampa Bay.
-Former Rays outfielder, Jason Bourgeois, was signed to a Minor League deal with the Reds, with an invite to Major League camp.
-Dustin Pedroia is set to undergo surgery on his thumb, which he compares to being like Tommy John surgery for pitchers.
-Doug Miller of MLB.com examines free-agent closers around the league. With Rodney on the market, who do you see the Rays bringing in for 2014?
-Jon Heyman of CBS Sports has enlisted the help of an unbiased agent and GM to speculate on what free agents could be signed for. Loney is predicted to ink a two-year deal for around $14-20 million, while Rodney is expected to land a two-year deal for about $18-20 million.
-Sports on Earth examined some controversial logos throughout recent history.
-David Laurila of FanGraphs recently conducted an interview with a Professor about the physics of pitching that is really worth a read. Very intriguing!
-Also on FanGraphs, Jeff Sullivan examines the 'lefty strike'.
-Brian McCann has the Yankees on his radar. Oh man, I would love to see him in the AL East and his reaction to Wil Myers' batflip after another right-field homerun!

Abstract Trellis Cools Down Tennessee Home
A dramatic trellis adds bravado and a passive cooling element to a recently renovated mid-century ranch house.
The Babat residence in Nashville is blessed with a big backyard; however, the blistering Tennessee sun once made it feel more like a broiler than a place to kick back and relax. Enter architect Michael Goorevich—then on staff at Manuel Zeitlin Architects—who devised a wood-and-steel trellis to cover part of the space. To ensure the span shades the terrace from early afternoon until evening, Goorevich painstakingly modeled the path of the sun to determine the correct orientation and angle for the trellis, as well as the depth and spacing of its Douglas fir crossbeams. Beneath its steep rise, the residents find respite from the sun, entertain guests, and frequently dine al fresco.

The main thing Orthodox Christians do is pray, and nowhere is this clearer than at what roughly constitutes the halfway point in the Divine Liturgy, where we say several litanies of prayers. In one of these litanies—simply called the "Little Litany"—the deacon (or priest) even says, "Again and again in peace let us pray to the Lord…" While these prayers repeat many of the things for which we ask in other prayers, rather than being dully repetitive they instead serve a wonderful purpose: drawing us closer to God, and to each other.
The act of praying after the homily is a particularly ancient part of the Divine Liturgy; for example, St. Justin the Philosopher said in the second century, "(After the homily) we all rise together and send up prayers." While this litany was originally said primarily during times of particular need—such as famine or plague—it is now said during every Divine Liturgy.
I like Fr. Lawrence Farley's term for this litany—he simply calls it "the intercessions," because we are praying on behalf of other people: our government and military, our bishops and clergy,the founders of our parishes, those who now rest in Christ, our friends and family (including, notably those who are not Orthodox), for those who offer their time and abilities to serve the Church, and finally for everyone present at that Liturgy.
Notice what this litany is called: the prayers of fervent supplication. We should not be bored and inattentive when these prayers are made—we should pray for these people with all our heart and soul. We should approach these prayers in the way described by Fr. Lawrence, "It is as if the people cannot restrain themselves from crying out to God over and over again, begging for His help and laying hold of His boundless compassion. In this litany, the Church stretches herself heavenward, reaching to God with every fiber of her being."
Catechumens are individuals who are learning about Orthodoxy as they prepare to be baptized; St. Germanus of Constantinople says Christ refers to catechumens as the "other sheep" who will listen to Him (see John 10:16). We are fortunate today to have many catechumens in the Church; Fr. Lawrence says that in this "the days of the early Church have returned!"
The special place and needs of the catechumens explains the prayers said for them: that God may teach them "the word of truth" and reveal "the gospel of righteousness;" that He may unite them to His Church; and that they may be made worthy of baptism and salvation. As with everything in the Liturgy, while this is a prayer for the catechumens, its focus is ultimately on God—we pray God will do these things for and in the catechumens so that they may glorify the Holy Trinity.
At the end of this litany the catechumens are dismissed. This dismissal confuses many visitors to the Divine Liturgy because, despite the priest telling the catechumens three times to leave, most churches do not actually expect the non-Orthodox to go away. I remember my wife's first visit to an Orthodox church: at the dismissal of the catechumens she hurriedly picked up her purse to leave, and was baffled when people chuckled and told her she could stay; "I know when I'm not wanted!" she replied.
In the early Church the catechumens were sent out to be taught about Orthodoxy; they could not stay for Holy Communion, since they could not receive Communion, and—when the prayers of Fervent Supplication came after the dismissal—they were also sent out because it was forbidden to pray with the non-Orthodox. Catechumens have been allowed to stay for the entire Liturgy since approximately the eighth century, but all of us can nonetheless benefit from this part of the Divine Liturgy: it reminds us of the deep holiness of the Liturgy of the Faithful (as the rest of the Divine Liturgy is called), and of the tremendous blessing we are given in being allowed to participate in it.
The laity are not the only ones reminded of this holiness and blessing: immediately after the dismissal of the catechumens, the priest thanks God that He has counted the clergy worthy of standing before the altar, and prays that He will enable the clergy to serve "blamelessly and without offense."
The clergy's prayers are followed by a small litany in which the deacon and people pray for peace, the spiritual health of the people in the parish, and for deliverance from all suffering (these prayers are left out when there is not a deacon present). We then engage in another great, cosmic moment of worship: the Cherubic Hymn. Two amazing things are packed into just a few words: "Let us who mystically represent the Cherubim, and who sing the thrice-holy hymn to the life-creating Trinity, now lay aside all earthly cares." First, as the cherubim surround the throne of God, we now surround Christ in worship. Secondly, we are called to lay aside all earthly cares, meaning, Fr. Emmanuel Hatzidakis says, we should "concentrate with longing and anticipation to receive Christ, 'the King of all,' quieting our outer and inner senses and feeling deep within us the transforming grace of God." Elder Amphilochios of Patmos puts it quite simply: "For God's grace to come during the Liturgy you must be concentrated and untroubled."
The Great Entrance itself—when the bread and wine are carried through the north door, and then to the altar through the Royal (or Holy) Doors—was originally a practical activity; in Constantinople the bread wine, chalice, etc, were kept in another building, and were brought into the church. This developed into a great ceremony—because the bread and wine would become the Body and Blood of Christ, their being brought into the church was celebrated, and we retain this attitude of celebration today. It's important to realize that our celebration during the Great Entrance is directly tied to our laying aside all earthly cares: by paying attention to God and the blessings He gives us—not only during the Divine Liturgy, but during every moment of every day—we will increasingly experience true joy. St. Peter of Damascus explains it like this, "Freedom from anxiety makes (the heart) rejoice and give thanks; and the grateful offering of thanks augments the gifts of grace it has received. And as the blessings increase, so does the thankfulness, and so does the pure prayer offered with tears of joy."
The Great Entrance concludes with the final verse of the Cherubic Hymn, in which—after the priest prays that the Lord may remember us in His kingdom—we reply with our desire to receive the King of all, Who is borne by the angelic hosts. St. Germanus says this verse puts us all into the action of moving with Christ: "The Cherubic Hymn signifies the entrance of all the saints and righteous ahead of the cherubic powers and the angelic hosts, who run invisibly in advance of the great king, Christ, Who is proceeding to the mystical sacrifice, borne aloft by material hands."
In the next unit we continue on our journey toward receiving Holy Communion.
Pay attention to how the Divine Liturgy highlights the importance of catchumens—Orthodox Christianity has always understood the importance of bringing people into a transforming relationship with God and His Church. But how can we do this? We Orthodox rightly reject the high-pressure, fear-based tactics of some Christian groups, but what other kind of evangelism is there? One effective way to communicate our Faith to others, and interest them in entering a relationship with God, is through what is commonly called lifestyle evangelism. This involves using the normal situations of our lives to gently introduce people to Orthodox Christianity, and to involve them in the lives of our communities.
First, we should pray that, as we go through daily life in our schools and communities, there are people who are so impressed with the way in which they see us living that they desire a closer relationship with us, and ultimately with the God in Whom we live, move and have our being (Acts 17:28).
We can then invite our friends to participate in a church function. Many people will be upset if we ask them point-blank to attend church services, but would be interested in attending a parish festival and experiencing the customs and celebrations of a traditionally Orthodox culture. Some parishes also offer language classes, which would be another way of involving friends in the life of our community.
We will hopefully come to a point where our friends are interested in experiencing an Orthodox worship service. The best service for newcomers is usually Vespers; the shorter service will enable them to experience Orthodox worship without being overwhelmed by the length and complexity of the Divine Liturgy.
Finally, be patient: while some people immediately fall in love with Orthodoxy, far more require a substantial amount of time as they wrestle with the theology and traditions which differ from those with which they are accustomed. Furthermore, remember that our friendships are not contingent upon people becoming Orthodox—we should remain friends even if the other person never shows an interest in Orthodoxy.

By MacKenzie Bates - Sports Editor
Aug. 14, 2013 — Throughout student-athlete's lives, they always dream and picture themselves playing at the next level.
For East Carter's Tucker Carper, that dream almost did not become a reality.
He decided after high school he would further his education at Morehead State University. But up until last week, Carper had a change of heart. He still wanted to play the game of soccer. Since MSU did not have a men's soccer program, he turned to his home university and decided to attend Kentucky Christian University.
"It was a late decision but it decided itself," Carper said. "When I wanted to go to Morehead, I was set up financially and I had a full ride to go there. But when I started talking to the guys here at KCU, they found me a scholarship to play here so it really was a no-brainer."
Carper has loved the game of soccer since he got into high school. He will be a sports management major while also learning to become a youth minster. And while he originally wanted to go to MSU to be with some of his former classmates, his passion for the game and his commitment to his faith and family ultimately won out.
"My dad is a big influence on my life," Carper said. "Both of my parents wanted me to come here and when I talked to them about it, they were all for it. I have a lot of friends going to MSU but I have friends here, too."
In his senior season with the Raiders, he helped guide East to a 10-5-2 record, winning the 62nd District Championship. Now he becomes a Knight in search of bringing a title to Grayson.
"I want to get to be where I can be helpful to the team," Carper said. "Whether that's being a role player or whatever Coach (Jeremy Miller) wants me to be, I'll do it. Because our number one goal is to win a championship. We just have to work hard and play well and I think we'll raise a banner here."
He is adjusting to his new role as a college student-athlete and is enjoying getting to know his new teammates.
"We're a team that is working on and off the field," Carper said. "I started playing pickup soccer when I was younger and I'm not ready to give it up. I can bring energy to the team and play 110 percent. I'm not the most skilled guy but I'm always looking to get better."
