KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
KSP Cracked Down On Impaired Drivers Over Holiday Weekend
Date of News Release: 03/24/08
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - KSP announced the results of an impaired driving enforcement effort held Saturday night that included Pike, Laurel and Muhlenberg counties. 'Operation Egg Hunt' targeted regions where driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs has become more predominant. All three Posts held safety check points that included KSP road troopers, canine units and drug recognition specialists.
Captain Tim Lucas, commander for KSP Highway Safety Branch, coordinated the tri-county enforcement event.

"Operation Egg Hunt was successful and sent a message to drivers that Kentucky State Police are cracking down on impaired driving - whether it is alcohol or drugs," Lucas said.
Preliminary statistics indicate that the three-county operation netted 108 citations with twenty-four arrests. Fourteen of those arrests were due to persons driving under the influence of drugs while six others were specific to driving under the influence of alcohol.
KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer praised the enforcement efforts this weekend and pledged that the agency would continue to aggressively target impaired drivers.
"Driving while impaired is a violent crime. Those who endanger themselves and the lives of others should know that they will pay a serious price. It's not worth the risk," said Brewer.
Operation Egg Hunt was funded through a grant received from the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI).
Jennifer Shearer serves as the NADDI Chapter President for Kentucky.
"The National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI) is pleased to have assisted the Kentucky State Police in the funding of Operation Egg Hunt. This type of law enforcement effort is extremely important considering the prescription drug epidemic the State of Kentucky is currently facing."
In 2006, the KSP crime lab tested 7,532 DUI cases for drugs. Sixty-three percent of those tested positive for controlled substances. Approximately 355,000 Kentuckians use prescription drugs for non-medicinal purposes. The Commonwealth leads the nation in this area.
KSP reports that in 2007 there were 3,153 driving under the influence of drugs citations and 7,343 driving under the influence of alcohol citations written.
"We believe that a strong show of force like this in select areas leaves an imprint with citizens in these communities," added Lucas. "Not only does it send a message to those who drive impaired, but also to the people who live in these areas that KSP is aware of their concerns and actively doing something about it."
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state).

When Alice describes the imaginary "world of her own" to her kitten Dinah, she says it would be filled with new types of birds, all kinds of nice and friendly how-de-do birds. As it turns out, the birds in Wonderland are indeed a remarkable lot, resembling eyeglasses, umbrellas, shovels, and pencils. Here's a fun project that will tap into your child's imagination: transforming a couple of ordinary pencils into a pair of whimsical feathered friends. The birds' bodies are small candle cups, which are readily available in craft stores.
You'll need:
- Pencil Birds template
- Wooden candle cups (the ones shown here are 7/8 inch in size)
- Green craft paint and paintbrush
- 2 green pipe cleaners
- Scissors
- Orange craft foam
- Glue dots, 1/2-inch and mini sizes)
- 1 or 2 craft feathers
- Short pencil (the ones shown here are 3½ to 4 inches long)
- 2 small googly eyes
1. Paint the candle cup and then let it dry completely.
2. Next, bend a pipe cleaner in half and twist the ends together, leaving a loop near the bend for a pencil to fit through, as shown. This will be the bird's neck. Insert the pipe cleaner ends into the hole in the bottom of the cup (the neck should be about 2 1/2 inches long). Then bend the ends inside the cup to keep them from pulling back through.
3. Wrap a second pipe cleaner around the neck, as shown, to thicken it.
4. Print out the template and use it as a pattern to cut out a pair of orange craft foam feet. Glue a couple of feathers atop the feet, positioning them so that the plumes extend past the heels.
5. Glue the painted candle cup atop the feet, sandwiching the base of the feathers between them.
6. Slide a pencil through the pipe cleaner loop. Position the loop at the base of the eraser and give the pipe cleaner another twist, if needed, to tighten the loop.
7. For the finishing touch, use mini glue dots to stick a pair of googly eyes onto the pencil face.

Part attached is made from solid modelling.How can this part be made as a sheet metal part.....i`m not familiar yet with sheet metal....wanting to learn
Solved! Go to Solution.
Here you go. Using Contour Flange is much quicker than doing it the conventional way. But I notice in your model that the two bottom flanges are thicker than the rest of the model (3 instead of 2). If that's really what you need, you can't do it in sheet metal (and I also wonder how it would be fabricated).
Hello Sam
Thanks alot.
Thanks alot.
But his solution is incorrect for a sheet metal part.
OK JD...can you post your file then and i can then compare/see the differences
JD's right, that my part is not correct-- but how you correct it depends on the design constraints. If the edges that currently show as beveled in my part (and yours) are in contact with something else, then it matters whether the inside or outside edge is the correct dimension. On the other hand, if the cutouts are just giving something else a wide clearance, then it's pretty easy to correct. In any case, JD has done it properly for one of those cases, so maybe he'll post it. Otherwise, tell us what the beveled edges' function is and I'll try to make it work for you.
As indicated by Sam B the design intent for that corner where the angle crosses a bend is very important.
In the end you want a Flat Pattern where all of the edges are perpendicular to the flat. This is easiest to check in wireframe shade mode.
Examine the attached file carefully in the bent angle corner for one possible solution.

CATEGORIES Hot TopicIt's common knowledge that movies marketed toward mass audiences tend to get "watered down" with formulaic plot contrivances and predictable, feel-good endings. Anyone who's watched an episode of 'Entourage' knows that.

On Tuesday morning at the 16th Annual Season Kickoff Luncheon, the Chicago Fire Soccer Club showed off its 2014 primary kit.
The Fire revealed the new sport's uniform as a part of MLS Jersey Week, which is an annual league-wide event started to celebrate the art, detail and uniqueness behind every club's jersey.
With help from adidas, the Fire created a jersey that captures the spirit of Chicago.
"What we wanted to do with this design was honor the Club's past and its distinctive ties to the city, but also embrace the Fire's forward movement with new, exciting features that represent the future and the progressive direction of the organization," said Atul Khosla, chief operating officer for the Chicago Fire Soccer Club. "As new jerseys are released annually for the league's ongoing Jersey Week initiative, we will use the opportunity to creatively express the Fire brand and the city of Chicago each year, and we hope the supporters find that opportunity as exciting as we do."
Also included in the 2014 kit is one of the city's most iconic attributes.
"This year's look is inspired by the fire trucks of City of Chicago," said Mike Walker, global product manager at adidas North America. "They have a distinctive look with a dark top, a band and red throughout the bottom half. Not only does this give a nod to the Chicago Fire Department, but it's also a very iconic element of the city itself. We also thought it was so compelling to see the light blue color of the Chicago flag represented so powerfully across the front band of the kit."
A new enhancement to the Fire's 2014 uniform is a band across the back that allows players to track their movement and progress. Another feature is how much it weighs. The jersey is 31 percent lighter than last year's model.
"The jersey is comfortable, really light, and lets you play your game," said Fire forward and reigning MLS MVP Mike Magee. "It looks pretty good on and I'm looking forward to hitting the field in the new kit this season."
The new jersey will once again have the Quaker logo pictured across the front, representing the trusted partnership the company and Fire have.
"With Chicago as Quaker's hometown, we are thrilled to see the essence of this great city infused into the design of the new jersey, and I'm excited to see its debut on the pitch," said Jose Luis Prado, president of Quaker Foods North America. "We are pleased to continue our partnership with the Chicago Fire and help fuel healthy families in Chicago's neighborhoods through fan experiences at games, community events and our support of the Chicago Fire Juniors youth program."
The Chicago Fire will debut the new uniforms Sunday, March 23 during their home opener. Kickoff is at 2 PM at Toyota Park.
For ticket information, call 1-888-MLS-FIRE (657-3473) or visit the Club's official website.

By this time next year, people in a busy part of Nashville will be closer to a police officer.
City leaders broke ground on the new Midtown Hills police precinct on Tuesday.
Metro Police Chief Steve Anderson said they analyzed where the greatest need was and came up with the area between Nolensville road and Hillsboro Road.
The new precinct is on 12th Avenue South, north of Wedgewood, which will serve the Edgehill community.
"Edgehill has pulled itself up by its own bootstraps over the last few years, and you can see by the development going on around. And the citizens I worked with in the 1970s are seeing its return to the glory days," Anderson said.
In addition to Edgehill, officers will cover Green Hills, Forest Hills, Oak Hill, Crieve Hall and Nippers Corner.
The precinct is expect to open by the middle of 2014.

Bpa is a known estrogen mimicker that is used in the production of polycarbonate plastic. According to researchers, bpa may cause developmental and neurological problems if it leaches from plastic. Reports suggest that small amounts of bpa may leach into food or beverages stored in polycarbonate containers, especially when the contents are heated. In addition, BornFree's cups and bottles feature the unique BornFree venting system, designed to reduce colic and ear infections. We will shortly be extending our product line to include more high quality toxin-free products.

What is BPA?
Bisphenol- A (BPA) is a chemical compound that is a key ingredient in the creation of polycarbonate plastic, a hard, clear plastic used widely in consumer products, including baby bottles and food containers.Invented in the 19th century, BPA has been heavily used in the commercial production of polycarbonates and some PVCs for over 50 years. A growing body of scientific research suggests that the chemical may leach out of polycarbonate feeding bottles and containers, especially when the contents are acidic, high in fat, or heated. Research also suggests that BPA may act as an endocrine disruptor, a substance which mimics natural human hormones and could cause developmental and neurological problems in children such as early puberty, and attention disorder syndromes. Further studies have shown an association between BPA and heart disease, diabetes and high levels of liver enzymes, while the U.S. National Institutes of Health in September 2008 determined there was some concern about BPA`s effects on fetal and infant brain development.In October 2008 the Canadian federal government declared BPA a hazardous substance and placed it on the list of toxic substances. At the same time large retail chains throughout Canada began voluntarily to remove polycarbonate products from their shelves. In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been lately been encouraged to re-examine its stance on BPA by the Union of Concerned Scientists.All BornFree™ products are 100% BPA-Free!

DETROIT -- Austin Jackson padded across the Tigers' clubhouse carpet 10 minutes before midnight ET on Tuesday, a couple of batting gloves poking out of his back left pocket and a confident smile spreading across his face.
As Jackson disappeared into a back area, he slapped his right hand against a concrete wall to acknowledge Justin Verlander, drawing a nod in response. Verlander is now guaranteed a Game 5 start, thanks in part to the center fielder's contributions.
Jackson snapped out of a 3-for-25 playoff funk with three hits, a run scored and an RBI in the Tigers' 5-2 victory over the Rangers in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.
"Being a leadoff hitter, you try to spark the team a little bit," Jackson said. "When it's not going as well as you want it to, you kind of take it to heart a little bit.
"I'm just trying to do whatever I can do to get on base, get in scoring position and try to let the guys behind me drive me in."
After striking out 181 times during the regular season, Jackson had fanned 14 times in seven playoff games against the Yankees and Rangers coming into Game 3.
That trend, combined with a general lack of production on the balls he did put in play, became troubling enough that manager Jim Leyland floated the idea of dislodging him from the leadoff spot.
But Jackson arrived to Comerica Park early on Tuesday for a session with hitting coach Lloyd McClendon, which seemed to pay some dividends.
"I would like to say that I tweaked him a little bit, but I would be lying," Leyland said. "But he did hit early with Mac today. I told Mac, 'Have him hit early tomorrow. Don't think things are OK. Have him hit early tomorrow.'"
Jackson hit .249 with a .317 on-base percentage in 153 games this season, dipping from his rookie year in 2010, but Leyland spoke before the game about how the 24-year-old can ignite the Tigers' lineup when he is right. Tuesday's results offered some proof of that.
"He makes us go," Leyland said. "He makes everybody in the dugout feel good. I was asked a question before the game about dropping him in the lineup, which was a very legitimate question.
"You know what, this is us. We are what we are. We've been doing this for the whole year, and we're going to either win this thing or go down with what we got. That's the way we're going to do it."
Tigers utility man Don Kelly stashes his belongings in a locker to Jackson's immediate left and said that despite the playoff struggles, Jackson has been able to keep his focus in the right places.
"Austin is level-headed about it," Kelly said. "He's going to go out there and give you 100 percent every day and give you good at-bats. With his speed, if he can get on base, it's huge for us.
"He's been that way all last year and this year, playing with him. You go through ups and downs, and he stays pretty consistent. He goes out there and plays tremendous defense and gives you good at-bats."
Jackson said that he and McClendon were trying to modify his leg kick, which has been a point of continuous focus in Jackson's two years with the Tigers.
"We were just trying to get that timing down," Jackson said. "That's the main thing, I think, just trying to get me going, trying to get the timing down.
"I've just got to keep battling with it, keep going out there. It's tough at this point in the season to work on things, but you've just got to do your best."

Vacation Rentals in Nevada
Nevada Rental Results
Nevada Local Information and Area Highlights
Travel to Nevada/ Nevada Vacation Rentals
The outdoors, scenery, inside recreation, gaming…think of Nevada when these ideas cross your mind. Next, think of how you would enjoy all of this in the best manner, and you'll come up with a Nevada vacation rental.
Nevada Active Adventures
With the amount of public land that Nevada has to offer, active adventure finds its home in Nevada. From common activities in uncommon places, to unique activities, Nevada truly is a natural playground. For sandboarding, you'll need dunes like the ones at Armagosa Valley and Sand Mountain. Any of the air sports are sure to give a rush – parasailing, soaring, skydiving, bungee jumping, hang gliding, and hot-air ballooning amid a majestic backdrop. Of course, off-road is best trekked with 4- or all wheel drive through Nevada's open spaces for high speed, or maneuvering through Nevada's rocky paths. If you possess an adventurous spirit, you ought to possess the keys to one of the lovely Nevada home rentals found here!
Nevada Vacation Spots
Reno-Tahoe offers two well-known resort destinations. Lake Tahoe is a year-round area of play, full of hiking, biking, and camping. Water sports flourish in the summertime, while winter brings great skiing, tubing and saucers, and snowmobiling. Fishing, boating, and fishing charters are also popular outdoor fun. Reno is famous for high-rate hotel resorts, gaming, golf and unstoppable nightlife. Why not choose a Reno home rental instead? The other areas in this region have thrilling adventures available, with a taste of history in the mining boomtown named Historic Virginia City.
Cowboy Country is known for Western farmlands and valleys surrounded by mountain terrain. A very rural way of life dominates this region, considering that cattle-crossing signs are more prevalent than the stoplights. Elko attracts visitors to its number of cultural events, including hosting the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering each January and the National Basque Festival celbrating Basque-American culture. The village of Lamoille runs one of the United States' only heli-skiing operations. Have you hit the Jackpot area? On the border between Nevada and Idaho is this resort and gaming town, where streets are named for various games.
An abundance of history lines the region of the Pony Express Territory. The town of Ely has the Nevada Northern Railroad Museum, revisiting the mining company line that existed for most of the 20th century. Also in Ely is a mural program for the community to decorate the downtown buildings with images from the town's past. Eureka has maintained a surprising number of its historic buildings from the 19th century, including the remarkable Eureka Courthouse, and the Eureka Sentinel Museum displays antique press equipment used for newspaper publishing.
The Pioneer Territory is endless nature dotted with former mining towns. Its wilderness is vast, and its mountain ranges are not commonly visited. Desolate State Route 375 has a reputation for being Nevada's version of an extraterrestrial highway, and UFO hunters congregate in the town of Rachel. Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park is located east of miniscule Gabbs, and includes an archaeological site containing fossils from ichthyosaurs. Clay spires and columns define Cathedral Gorge State Park near Panaca, where camping and picnicking are welcome.
Las Vegas and surrounding areas have more gaming than is imaginable. Casinos line the streets, and you have to define what is on the strip or off the strip. But certainly, your days and nights can be complete here without putting a coin in the slot machine or trying your hand at poker. The biggest names in entertainment come here to perform; sometimes it's the only concert they are going to give! Kids and the young at heart will enjoy the thrill rides, IMAX ridefilm theater, and Star Trek: The Experience. Outside of Las Vegas is the Lake Mead Recreation Area, a haven for outdoor enthusiasts with 500 miles of shoreline. In Primm is a Wild-West theme park for families and friends to enjoy. No matter what type of entertainment you are looking for a Las Vegas condo rental will put you in the middle of all of the action while still offering the comforts of home. Nevada condos, in genera, are very impressive!
All throughout the state is Indian Territory, where Native Americans carved a variety of petroglyphs so long ago. Pyramid Lake, in the reservation of the same name is a desert sea that remains from a prehistoric sea. Three championship level golf courses are operated at the Southern Paiute-run Las Vegas Paiute Resort, near Mount Charleston.
But whether you're in the market for a Las Vegas condo rental on the strip, or you're more interested in a ski condo, the bottom line is that Nevada vacation rentals are everywhere and of every kind! Nevada home rentals are also for people of all budgets, so don't worry about your pocket book. Why not browse the Nevada condos, villas, and homes, found here, and inquire about the most appealing properties? Your dream Reno home rental, or ultra-modern Las Vegas condo, is right around the corner!

Considering police chief Spiller and the Pleasanton police can't even control the illegals at Home Depot on a daily basis--- this rave would have ALSO been beyond their abilities.
on Dec 22, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Taxpayers are sick and tired of the Pleasanton cops not enforcing basic laws against vagrancy- loitering-and felon illegals. Cops say illegals can loiter on the sidewalk. The game is Cops say Home Depot has to file complaint. They have tried. Then cops say oh no---has to be a complaint from the property landlord! Then the game goes to whether or not their toenails were "actually" on the private property side. It is obvious Pleasanton cops don't want to deal with the felons (who often grab their crotches when a young woman walks by). Spineless and so so PC----why pay taxes?
on Dec 23, 2011 at 9:56 am
Pleasanton cops are lazy. The requests for Home Depot cleanup have been ignored for years.

The last pitcher to join the 300 win club was Randy Johnson back in 2009. Based on the way pitchers are being used, it really seems like we may have seen the last one.
What skills would a likely candidate for this have?
- Health/Longevity - To get to 300 wins, a pitcher is simply going to have to pitch for a long time at this point. Looking at the last 5 pitchers to get to 300, their career lengths averaged 22.8 seasons in the Majors. Add to that fact that they will need to avoid missing time during those seasons due to injuries, and it becomes a critical skill.
- Opportunity/Role - The next reliever that even has a shot at getting 300 wins will be the first. You have to be in a role that is conducive to racking up that kind of win total, and relievers just aren't going to have that chance on a year-in, year-out basis.
- High Strikeout Potential/High Control Potential - Of the 10 pitchers who have won their 300th game since 1981 (30 years), 8 have either had a career K/9 rate above 7, a career BB/9 rate below 2, or a career K/BB rate above 2.50. While it's not a guarantee, these skills obviously help a pitcher.
- High Team Strength - The days of Steve Carlton winning 27 games for a team that only wins 54 total are not likely to return either, and your team has to help you with some run support as well.
- Early Start or Late Finish - Realistically, with so much money available to quality pitchers, the requirement of the early years of baseball for a player to keep coming back until they physically can't throw any more are gone. So it becomes critical for a pitcher to either get an early start in the Majors (by age 25 seems the most likely), or to keep pitching well into his 40's.
The most likely candidates to get to 300:
- Roy Halladay (169) - Currently age 34, for him to get to 300 he needs another 131, which averages out to 7+ seasons of 18 wins each. I wouldn't count him out for this, but it seems unlikely he would be winning 18+ in his 40's.
- CC Sabathia (157) - Sabathia is 30, which would leave him needing 143 total. If he pitches for 8 more seasons (until age 38), he would need 18 per year on average. He seems like he has a very good shot at this based on his own history of health and usage, but there is always the possibility of him breaking down at some point.
- Justin Verlander (84) - Verlander is 28 this year, and would need 13 seasons averaging 17 wins each year to get to 300. He actually seems like a decent shot to do this, as he has recorded at least 17 wins in 4 of the last 5 seasons. But expecting him to be able to keep this up into his age 41 season is a bit of a stretch.
- Felix Hernandez (72) - Hernandez is 25 years old, which gives him quite an advantage towards this goal over a lot of the other pitchers. However, unless his team starts improving, he could be looking at a lot of 13-14 win seasons. He would have to average 14 wins over 16+ seasons to get to 300, but could conceivably get there by averaging 17 over the next 13 seasons. Neither of which seems extremely likely based on the current makeup of the team.
- Clayton Kershaw (27) - Kershaw is still just 23 years old, but is already rapidly showing that he will be a dominant pitcher for many years. Throw in a very good history in terms of health, and we could be looking at a pitcher who could make it.
All in all, the likelihood of another pitcher getting to 300 wins anytime soon is extremely unlikely. Jamie Moyer might make it if he comes back for 2-3 more seasons (he currently sits at 267), but it's hard to judge the value of a pitcher who won 300 games over a nearly 30 year career.

When a stranger calls and asks a kid for her parent's cell phone number, the responsible child politely declines.
Even if it's the County Executive asking.
The young woman who identified herself as Mark Kinzie's daughter to Ken Ulman did just that Thursday after Ulman called to let Kinzie know he had won Howard County Tourism's " Download for Date Nights" promotion.
To support her responsibility, perhaps Kinzie will take his daughter out to dinner at one of the half-dozen restaurants that donated $400 worth of gift certificates to the promotion, or take her to a show at Merriweather Post Pavilion.
In all, the Ellicott City resident won more than $4,000 worth of free goods, services and gift certificates donated by local businesses as part of the promotion, aimed at getting people to download Streetline's Parker application.
"These are from local businesses," Rachelina Bonacci, Executive Director, Howard County Tourism & Promotion, said about the donated prizes. "That means this is coming out of their pockets."
To be eligible to win, people had to download the app and upload a picture of it to Tourism's Facebook page, or show someone in person at the Howard County Welcome Center. Entrants' names were entered into a bowl, which Ulman's wife, Jaki Ulman, picked a name from Thursday afternoon.
"We were very very upset to find out that we were not eligible," Ulman said. "Now I'm going to have to pay out of my own pocket to go to every one of these fine restaurants."
After a false start – in which a county employee's wife's name was plucked from the bowl - Kenzie's name was chosen.
"Is that anybody's relative?" Ulman joked.
Also awarded a prize was Vickie Goeller, a tourism specialist, for getting the most visitors (64) do download the application, which was introduced in November.
The contest isn't over. Bonacci said local businesses "kept on donating" and as a result, there are more prizes to be won. The next round of gifts includes tickets to movies, restaurants, Historic District events and more.

Sterling silver PANDORA clasp bracelet with 2 heart clips and 1 heart charm from Pandora at the The Mall in Columbia

The Barnett Reservoir invites its residents to rep their neighborhood with a specialized license plate. The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District posted a photo of the proposed design on Facebook and is now looking for the first 300 people to sign up.
According to the application form for the license plate, 300 plates must be presold before the Mississippi Tax Commission will begin production on the distinctive tag. The plate sports a sunset over the Reservoir with the The Rez brand stamped to the left.
[Submit your application for The Rez license plate PDF.doc]
A possible timeline for the tags was not given, but the application does state that the plate production can only begin after the tax commission receives 300 applications, the appropriate fees, and a design has been approved by the organization and the tax commission. The special tag fee is $31.

Henry keen to remain a Robin despite relegation
Updated 11:41am Monday 28th April 2014 in Football By James Barrett
Striker Jason Henry is convinced the future bodes well for Carshalton Athletic despite relegation from the Ryman Premier.
Henry was on the scoresheet as the Robins ended the season a high, beating Hampton & Richmond 2-0 on Saturday at Colston Avenue.
And the ex-Cray man believes the club's youngsters have enough about them to give next season a real go.
He said: "It's not easy to consistently do well in this league with a young squad but when we've clicked, like against Hampton, everyone can see the potential.
"They would have learned a lot from this experience and, although it is disappointing at the time, we'll come back stronger for it."
Sean O'Toole put Carshalton in the lead on 23 minutes and Henry doubled it five minutes later with a close range finish.
Although the Robins' lead was never in doubt they, and Henry in particular, could have inflicted a much heavier defeat on their opponents.
"Their goalkeeper did well, I personally could have had three or four goals but for him," he added.
"I was pleased with my overall contribution however and we signed off on a high, which we wanted for the management and fans."
Henry's goal made him the club's second highest goalscorer of the season and he says he is open to staying with Carshalton as they prepare for life in the Ryman South.
"I'll be waiting for a call from [boss] Stuart Massey over the next couple of weeks to discuss things, but I would be happy to stay," he said.
"It's been a pleasure playing here and I'd like to remain a part of what the club is trying to build with its exciting young talent."
Thank you fans and goodbye: The Robins applaud the Colston Avenue faithful after Saturday's win

A man accused of holding up the CVS drug store at Caton Farm and Drauden roads Wednesday night is in custody and likely to be charged with armed robbery, Joliet police Lt. Mike Batis said.
The incident occurred at about 7:30 p.m., and it's believed the suspect acted alone. No shots were fired or no employees or customers were injured, Batis said.
Beyond that, however, no other details about what occurred or how the suspect was captured will be released until morning, he said.
"The suspect's being interviewed right now," said Batis, speaking at about 9:40 p.m. "He probably will be booked (into the Will County jail) tonight."
The 2375 Drauden Road store was surrounded by a half dozen squad cars, and officers blocked the parking lot entrances to prevent customers from going into the store while the on-site investigation was being conducted.
The few employees seen leaving the store at about 9 p.m. declined to discuss the incident.

Ghost Rider #6
Ghost Rider #6 is a dark, twisted, and compelling story with solid scripting from Rob Williams and great art from Dalibor Talajic.
Ghost Rider #6 is a dark, twisted, and compelling story with solid scripting from Rob Williams and great art from Dalibor Talajic.
If you're reading this comic for the promised appearance of the Runaways, you may be disappointed, but there's still more than enough in this issue to make it an enjoyable, solid read.
It's a more compelling plot than some of the recent issues of X-Men Legacy, with the mystery of who the X-Men have brought with them from Shi'ar space keeping the reader guessing up to the end.
Invincible Iron Man #510 deals with the aftermath of Fear Itself and the emotional toll it took on Tony Stark -- specifically, his choice to drink again.
The fifth issue of Greg Rucka's The Punisher is a Thanksgiving-themed issue and is, naturally, just as cheery as you'd expect Thanksgiving with the Punisher to be.
X-23 continues to be one of the best-written comics Marvel puts out, with storylines that respect continuity without getting too bogged down in "events." It's a comic that can be easily picked up by the casual reader and enjoyed separately from the Marvel Universe as a whole, while still being very much a part of it.
Magneto: Not a Hero #1 isn't a bad comic. It's just not a particularly great one. It has a strong beginning and end, but the middle is a bit muddled and slowly paced.
It's a convoluted and over-packed storyline that, at the end, feels a bit like too many threads to connect into a cohesive whole. It's difficult to follow at times, and while at its core it has the makings of what could've have been an enjoyable X-Men in Space adventure, it gets bogged down in the layers of escalating threat.
If you haven't been reading the latest volume of Ghost Rider, Issue 5 is a good place to start.
Starting over with issue number one, this is a new beginning for Uncanny X-Men. Following the events of Schism, Scott Summers is solidifying his leadership over the mutants who remained on Utopia and reaffirming his commitment to protecting what's left of mutantkind. That doesn't mean, however, that Scott is planning for life on Utopia to be business as usual. He's set up the "Extinction Team," an elite team of mutants dedicated to protecting humanity -- while making sure they know to fear them.

JK Rowling's Twitter Response to "The Cuckoo's Calling"News
J.K. Rowling has posted a tweet with a link to her website. The tweet's link is her personal statement about her decision to publish The Cuckoo's Calling as Robert Galbraith.
@jk_rowling What I have to say about being Robert Galbraith and writing 'The Cuckoo's Calling': http://bit.ly/12s3WbO
Statement from her website:
J.K. Rowling's statement regarding 'The Cuckoo's Calling' by Robert Galbraith
"I hoped to keep this secret a little longer, because being Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience! It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation and pure pleasure to get feedback from publishers and readers under a different name. The upside of being rumbled is that I can publicly thank my editor David Shelley, who has been a true partner in crime, all those people at Little, Brown who have been working so hard on The Cuckoo's Calling without realising that I wrote it, and the writers and reviewers, both in the newspapers and online, who have been so generous to the novel. And to those who have asked for a sequel, Robert fully intends to keep writing the series, although he will probably continue to turn down personal appearances."

Stumbled across a post today about the movie American Ninja. Here are some clips:
Trailer for American Ninja:
Trailer for American Ninja 2:
Trailer for American Ninja 4:
I didn't actually think it was real after first reading that blog post on Martial Development.
By far this looks like a horrible movie series. Maybe one of the worst ever. An IMDB search on American Ninja shows the truth: 2.1-4.7 out of 10. Amazingly, none of them bad enough to make the IMDB bottom 100.

Colonel Steven G. O'Donnell, Superintendent, of the Rhode Island State Police and Commissioner of Public Safety, announces the arrest of a Cranston man for attempting to cheat at a casino game at Twin River Casino.
On Friday, August 30, 2013, at 7:00 PM members of the State Police Gaming Enforcement Unit arrested Xi Liang Chen, age 29, of 761 Park Avenue, Cranston, Rhode Island, for Attempting to Cheat a Table Game, a violation of §42-61.3-2(b)(3) of the Rhode Island General Laws.
The investigation of this incident by the State Police Gaming Enforcement Unit (GEU) began when the Twin River Surveillance Unit observed Chen place a "past post" bet at a Roulette table and notified a GEU detective. The GEU detective reviewed surveillance video and observed Chen place one "past post" bet of $500 at the Roulette table. The dealer alerted to the "past post" attempt and did not pay the wager. Had the dealer not observed the "past post" wager, Chen would have received a $1,000 payout.
Chen was processed at the Lincoln Woods Barracks and arraigned on the following charge:
Attempting to Cheat a Table Game
Justice of the Peace Joseph Rogers set bail for Chen at $5,000 personal recognizance. Twin River Casino Security personnel served Chen with a permanent ejection notification.
Chen is scheduled for a pre-arraignment conference in Sixth Division District Court on November 1, 2013.

WBC May Consider A Computer Based Scoring System, I agree with some elements but not others

Interesting article here:
I see the issues with the 10-point must system, and agree that their should be more liberal usage of 10-8 rounds. Right now, there is very little credit given to what makes the difference between a 10-9 round dominated by a fighter, and a close 10-9 round. I would even like to see even rounds at 10-10 brought back.
I agree that some form of computer system is needed, because too many master score-sheets look like shit.
I disagree with the judges needing to push buttons, which rely's on the judges eyesight and physical coordination to do so. This has failed in Olympic boxing, so how would it be better in pro-boxing?
Over time, I may be communicating with the WBC about the proposed pluses and minuses of this system. I do think a backup pencil and paper system would still be needed by the local commission and sanctioning body in the event of computer failure.
Thoughts and feedback? The WBC will plan to introduce ideas for this system this fall at the annual convention in Mexico this year.

this isnt football, there doesnt need to be new technology involved, i just think 10-8 rounds should be more liberal as you said, and rounds that are draws. but thats it. also maybe a clear definition of how scoring works, as in explaining what effective aggression, defense etc etc are to the public and to actual judges.

imo...the problem with scoring is that it takes a trained eye to understand what's happening. slips, blocks etc...are very difficult to see in real time and they end up getting scored as landed blows.

That's an issue too. Senior Jose and some of these judges are in, or approaching their 80's. No matter what happens with this system, the old people endorsing this aren't going to be around much longer. The experimentation, pluses and minuses of this system should be studied by newer officials involved in the game. The senior powers that be are just getting too old. They aren't even going to be around long enough to work with the system. And it can take years, (even as Jose sort of admits in his article) to get the commissions to accept change.
Just to clarify when I said myself that some sort of computer system was needed. I DON'T mean change the traditional 10-point must scoring system with a computer button pushing system. I mean:
1.) Allow more liberal use as to lesser points for losers of rounds. I agree with Jose here, get some justice as to you have 10 points to play with. Use them. Close rounds won by a hair, should be 10-9, dominate rounds should be 10-8 even without a knockdown. Rounds dominated with knockdowns should be 10-7, and if a round is even, make it 10-10. US jurisdictions and the Association of Boxing Commissions treat even rounds like cancer. Why are even rounds so bad?
2.) Have the commission/sanctioning body representative feed the traditional 10-point must scoring master scoresheets into a computer so that the master-scoresheet can look more professional and organized.
3.) Allow the use of more international officials in US jurisdictions for World Title Fights. Nevada needs to open its eyes to the use of more qualified world officials. The sanctioning bodies will usually submit a list of 5-7 officials to the state commission. Nevada always insists on its own referee and at least two judges in most cases. This needs to change. Nevada officials may be the best according to Nevada, but are they the best in terms of World Championship experience? You go with Nevada, you have a Vegas gambling community where local judges may be more inclined to favor a promoter's star fighter who has connections to a promoter who does business in Nevada. The use of more international judges and refs in Nevada boxing matches who are LESS likely to have a vested interest in a promoter's star fighter can help.
4.) Texas seems to have the same level of arrogance with regard to the appointment of its officials. Although credit to Nevada for having strict drug testing policies. Texas almost isn't a boxing commission. ( No drug testing mandates, violation of ABC rules...ect.) It's the house of boxing owned and manipulated by "Daddy" Dickie "The Dick" Cole and his equally conceited son Lawrence Cole. Keeping it all in the family, and with the family in charge, and with the money that the Cole's have, who's gonna stop them from saying no? There is no oversight system of checks and balances giving the Cole's the power to do what they want, when they want for fights in Texas. That is one of boxing's biggest problems.

I've thought about this for years. It's a tricky situation because ultimately, it still relies on the intergrity of the judges.
My options:
1. Have ringside judges announce their initial "unofficial scores" immediately after the fight. Then, take them to an undisclosed location with a committee immediately after, have them rewatch the fight, tally the scores. Almost like the NFL combine when they run the 40.
2. Have 5 judges. 1 for each side of the ring and 1 watching TV with no commentary.
Other suggestion: Have Compubox go back and study the footage and make the more accurate punch counts available to the public.

A lot of times, I , like many others, don't agree with ideas that the WBC has, but here Jose Suliman talks about the proposed computer ringside scoring, the overuse of 10-9 rounds, and other interesting elements that I have written about as well:

Calling all Irish gospel choirs/groups!
Would you like to perform in the National Concert Hall as support act for gospel legends The Blind Boys of Alabama as well as on RTÉ Radio 1's Mooney?
Mooney and Waltons World Masters Series are offering one lucky group the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do just that!
The Waltons World Masters Series welcomes The Blind Boys of Alabama back to Dublin and the National Concert Hall on Wednesday, May 21st 2014. Ireland has its own great tradition of gospel music, and one very special aspect of this concert is that the support act will be an Irish gospel choir/group selected by the third nationwide Waltons World Masters Gospel Competition, in association with the Mooney and RTÉ Radio 1! The winning choir/group will perform a 40-minute set before The Blind Boys take to the stage.
All Irish gospel choirs/groups are welcome to enter.
The Competition
After all entries are received, a shortlist of three finalists will be chosen by a jury made up of representatives from Waltons New School of Music and RTÉ Radio 1. The finalists will be announced and their recordings broadcast on the Mooney on Thursday, April 10th. Their entries will then be sent to The Blind Boys of Alabama, who will select the overall winner.
The winning choir/group will be announced on the Mooney on Thursday, May 1st, perform on Mooney on a date to be announced, and perform in the National Concert Hall as support act for the Blind Boys of Alabama on Wednesday, May 21st.
The winning choir/group will be responsible for their own transport to/from the venue, as well as accommodation (if required). The group will receive five pairs of tickets to the concert for guests, but there will be no monetary remuneration.

This time last year, Mairead Conlon wowed the coaches on The Voice Of Ireland and joined 'Team Bressie'. But she got knocked out in the Battle Stages...
Last Saturday, she appeared on The Voice UK, and again wowed the coaches, with three out of four turning around for her. She joined 'Team Tom Jones', and today she joins us in studio, along with her hubby Del, for a chat and to perform exclusively for us!
If you would like to follow Mairead on YouTube, then visit youtube.com/conlonmairead.
Another story to come out of the UK Voice is that of Bob Blakeley, from Stockport, who gave a powerhouse performance of Cry Me A River:
Now on Saturday night, after that performance, none of the mentors turned around... But this morning, live on BBC Breakfast, Bob received a second chance at fame when musician Mike Batt offered to help Bob get a record deal.
Mike is a British songwriter, musician, producer, conductor and Deputy Chairman of the British Phonographic industry.
Mike Batt
Most of us will know his work through The Wombles pop act and for his beautiful songs such as Bright Eyes which was sung by Art Garfunkel and more recently for his work with Katie Melua including her song Nine Million Bicycles.
Mike joins us on the line this afternoon from his London office, where he has been meeting with Bob Blakelely...
Watching the ads on TV recently got Derek thinking. The ad he saw was from Britain, and it was all about how easy it is to pay your TV licence. But the line that caught his attention told us that "The average person moves home eight times during their life". Derek has only moved once, so he has a few to go to meet the British average!
Warren Buffett, one of the world's wealthiest people in the world, doesn't appear to have lived in more than a couple of homes. In fact he still lives in the same house he bought in 1958!
Henry Ford, the famous car maker, had a strong attachment to his childhood farm House. So much so that after his parents died he had the house restored in 1919 and in 1944 he moved it two miles down the road to Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. Ford set up Greenfield Village as a place where people could see what American life was like in the past. (Among the attractions located there today are the Wright Brothers Bicycle shop and the Bus which Rosa Parks made famous when she refused to give up her seat to a white person thus sparking off the Montgomery Bus Boycott.)
But back to that TV ad and the claim that, on average, we live in eight houses during our lifetime... We sent our reporter Katriona McFadden to the streets to find out how often people move house. And Derek is joined in studio by Fintan Conlan (who runs One Man And His Van, a home removals business), who has lived in 29 different homes!
Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

UPDATE: Police want to speak to motorist involved in suspected hit and run
Updated 7:42pm Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News
A MOTORIST involved in a suspected hit and run which left a cyclist with serious head injuries has been urged to come forward.
The cyclist has been identified as a 57-year-old man from Great Sankey in Warrington and remains in critical condition in hospital.
His next of kin has been informed.
Collision investigators say he was riding a racing-type road bike when the incident happened around 6.30am on Warrington Road, Bold Heath this morning (Tuesday, February 18).
He was found lying injured on the road side.
Sergeant Jason Higham from Merseyside Police's roads policing department said: "This man is in a critical condition in hospital and it is imperative that we trace the driver who has been involved in the collision.
"Due to the casualty's injuries and the damage to his racing bike we strongly believe the motorist will be aware that they have collided with the cyclist so it is important they do the right thing and make themselves known to us.
"There is an extensive police investigation underway in Warrington Road and we are going through all the CCTV footage from the area to establish who has driven along there early this morning.
"The spot where the cyclist has been found is well lit by street lighting and is a straight stretch of road so you would be in no doubt if you were involved.
"This man is an extremely poorly condition in hospital right now and it is important that anyone who was involved or witnessed this collision contacts me on 0151 777 5747.
"I would also appeal to anyone who has seen a vehicle with damage to the front passenger side that looks new and may have been driven in the Bold Heath, St Helens or Widnes area early this morning to also come forward."
The road has been blocked for several hours from the junction at Clock Face Road to the former United Utilities building Dawson House.
