Oli Johnson released by York City
Updated 12:16pm Friday 1st March 2013 in Sport By Dave Flett, Sports reporter
OLI Johnson has left York City after reaching an agreement over the remainder of his contract at Bootham Crescent.
The 25-year-old forward, whose one-year deal with the Minstermen would have come to an end in the summer, has departed having never completed a full game under City boss Gary Mills.
Johnson made just one start following his arrival from Oxford last June during the 4-0 Johnstone's Paint Trophy home defeat to Coventry when he was replaced on 68 minutes.
In a campaign dogged by a stomach and groin problem, Johnson's League contributions also amounted to a paltry four substitute outings with his last of seven appearances in City colours coming during the 4-3 FA Cup replay defeat to AFC Wimbledon in mid-November.
On the former Yeovil, Norwich and Stockport attacker's departure, Mills said: "We have come to an agreement with Oli Johnson and he is no longer with us.
"I wasn't getting enough from Oli and things didn't work out so he's moved on.
"I have to concentrate on the players that are still here and the jobs they need to do for this football club."
Johnson played no part in Wednesday's 2-0 North Riding Senior Cup semi-final defeat to Marske United and becomes the second summer signing, after left-back Danny Blanchett, to be released by Mills prior to the end of his contract.
City boss Mills did not attend the Marske match, which included five players with first-team experience – Paul Musselwhite, Lee Bullock, John McReady, David McDaid and Tom Allan – as well as transfer window recruit Jameel Ible, but added: "The result was not a good one and I will be looking at the DVD to see what happened."
First-year pro Tom Platt, meanwhile, continues to impress during his second loan spell at Harrogate Town, having been on target in their last two wins against Gloucester at the weekend and Boston United on Tuesday night.
The teenage midfielder is the Blue Square Bet North play-off contender's third top scorer this season with ten goals despite only playing 14 games.
Having been on the bench for City's first team, however, he has never made it on to the pitch with Mills explaining that he did not feel Platt was quite ready for League Two football.
The Minstermen chief added: "I gave Tom a contract until the end of the season but I did not really see enough to play him here.
"He went to Halifax for a while but they did not want him back but sometimes, as a player, you find somewhere where you do well and he's certainly found that to be the case at Harrogate.
"It's a couple of levels down from here but I hope he goes on to help to get them in the play-offs."

Looked bright the odd appearance he made from the bench but can't really afford to have such injury prone players at the club when working on a small budget. Same goes for Doig too.
All the best O.J.

agree with post above though - not really GM's fault. maybe was a risk worth taking, just didn't work out.
let's hope this also may be a sign that coulson isn't too far away. we have sorely missed his finishing. was looking lethal

However, it was known he had injury troubles when we signed him so youve got to say its another questionable signing, one of many!

Hardly Mr Mills's fault, when a player is injured constantly.
At least he's released him.

agree with duffy about johnson and the majority of mills signings.oxford knew what they were doing when they unloaded oli crock johnson.i would like to know how much money he was on whilst being injured all the time,or sat on the bench all season.the only good thing thats come out of it,is the club saving a bit more money.

First prototype for the receiver unit
Been a while since my last post. A lot has been going on with both antennas, electronics and other stuff!
Some days ago I got the big privilege to borrow a CNC router from my friend. It's an old LPKF91S and I had no software nor cable to the computer. I had no idea of how it worked and what to do to get everything running. Luckily some of my friends had both worked with this exact machine and also with similar models though a bit more advanced. I found a schematic of the cable via the internet and the software part eventually worked out! Now I was ready to mill my first printed circuit board!
The first thing I did was to mill out a sample that came with the software, turned out really bad as I had no idea how to set the height of the drill. Three tries later and I got it working really good. I quickly ran to my main computer and started to put together the last parts needed in one of my schematics in Eagle to start milling. It turned out that I had to do a double sided board and that was at first no problem as I had double sided copper but after the top layer was done milling, I noticed that the software had no idea were to put the bottom layer. My first thought was that I had done something wrong in the Eagle files but it turns out it has something to do with the calibration in the software, I will look into that later.
So, I can print one sided circuit boards.. Let's make one!
One of my biggest projects is the Diversity Receiver System. This system will decide the best receiver in a 8 receiver system for analog repeaters. The schematic for the part that will be placed in each receiver was almost done, so I added some extra components and then started with the layout of the board. Some hours later and it was finished. Now for some milling!
The milling almost went great the first time, I had to mill some parts of the board a second time to get it perfect. While this board could be better, I am very pleased with the results! The components where quite easy to solder on with flux and a good solder tip. Unfortunately I didn't have all the components needed for this board to fire it up today but I will take a trip to Elfa on Friday and buy the rest plus some other useful stuff.
I have to give a big THANKS to Mikael Larsmark (SJ2W) who was kind enough to help me with both schematics, layouts and exports for the CNC machine when I had some trouble. He is the god of electronics in my eyes, check his page out for some awesome stuff!

Authorities say a 17-year-old committed five armed robberies in less than five hours.
The teen was arrested Friday morning after a crime spree on Wednesday in Palmetto.
The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports a man was working on a car when someone pulled a gun on him and demanded money. He fled without taking anything. The next robbery attempt happened with similar results.
The final robberies occurred within a 30-minute span. The suspect hit a woman in the head while trying to grab a purse from her daughter. A short distance away he demanded money from a man but fled without taking anything. In the final case, police say he stole a man's wallet and shot him.
The man is recovering.
The teen faces armed robbery and second-degree murder charges.

SEATTLE — Prosecutors filed vehicular homicide, vehicular assault and reckless driving charges Thursday against a driver who crashed into a family out for a walk, killing two grandparents and leaving their daughter-in-law and baby grandson in comas.
Prosecutors said in court documents that Mark Mullan's preliminary blood-alcohol level was 0.22 after Monday's crash. Washington's legal limit for driving of 0.08.
Mullan, 50, remains jailed on $2.5 million bail, with arraignment scheduled for April 11. It's not known if he has a lawyer.
He faces a sentencing range of 15 to 19 years in prison if he's convicted as charged.
The crash killed Dennis and Judith Schulte, retired teachers from Kokomo, Ind., who recently moved to Seattle.
Thirty-three-year-old Karina Schulte and her infant son, Elias, were critically injured.
In court papers, prosecutors said Monday was the first day Karina Schulte had ventured out for a walk since the recent birth of her son and the first day her husband, Daniel Schulte, had returned to work.
Mullan's truck was traveling at 30-40 mph and didn't slow or take evasive action as the three adults, with the baby carried by his mother in a sling, legally crossed a neighborhood street at an intersection, prosecutors said.
The infant, initially found not breathing, suffered multiple skull fractures and brain injury and has undergone emergency surgery for liver and intestinal injury, court documents said.
His mother suffered a crushed pelvis. She also developed blood clots due to her injuries and suffered a stroke that has led to brain damage, prosecutors said.
At the time of the crash, Mullan was on probation for a DUI conviction in January for an incident that occurred on Christmas Day. Conditions of his probation included that he not use alcohol and not drive without a valid license and an ignition interlock device.

Dodecahedron Platonic Snow Solid Sculpture for Your Geeky Winters
Wednesday, February 2, 2011 | Dodecahedron, cambridge, cool, ma, mit, nerdy, platonic, snow man, solid
Awesome. Over the course of this winter, I have been seeing mini versions of these around my neighborhood of Cambridge, MA (and, yes... this is my neighborhood). Each time I spot one I say... "that's nice, snow geometry sure is keen" and smile. Lucky, sushiesque was able to snag a picture of one of these awesome snow sculptures for everyone to see and share the joy around.
If you can't stay away from the snow, turn it into something geeky.

A cold and frosty start to the day with some icy patches to watch for at first. Any early mist soon clearing to some lovely sunshine for the east but patchy cloud lingering over the far west.
Staying this way into the afternoon but feeling nice in the sunshine with gentle winds and temperatures just into double figures.

City of Savannah leaders closed River Street parking lots Friday, as water levels continue to rise. In Jasper County, several residents began to leave their homes Friday, to seek higher ground. Savannah City leaders released this plan Friday, of what areas they expect to see flooding occurring over the next 24 hours:
"We are anticipating potential flooding of the Savannah River due to the increase in water from Army Corps of Engineer releases of dams upstream and an above average tide, we are preparing for:
• Potential flooding of parking lots on River Street
• Potential flood waters and debris coming over the wall and flooding portions of the Plaza and the Park on the East End near the Marriott.
• The greatest threat as of the time and date above appears to be during the periods of high tide on Sunday and Monday.
In response to these threats, Personnel from the City met and developed contingency procedures that were approved by the City Manager.
• Parking Services will begin to notify drivers that the Parking Lots on River Street will be closed beginning at 5PM on Friday through Monday due to potential flooding. It is anticipated they will be installing signs during the morning of Friday July 19th.
• SCMPD and Leisure Services will be prepared to tape off and restrict access to the plaza and areas along the river to foot traffic if the waters come over the wall.
Should water come over the seawall and River Street or the plaza must be closed, City Emergency Management will coordinate a meeting with Engineers from Development Services, Risk Management, Park and Tree and Parking and Mobility Services, Public Works, SCMPD and others to ensure proper inspections are completed before any portions are reopened."
A concert planned Friday on River Street is still scheduled, officials say.
The U.S. Coast Guard is alerting mariners in the Savannah area to expect significantly higher and faster-moving water on the Savannah River. Coast Guard officials say the conditions are expected to begin around Thursday and will likely peak with a 10-foot high tide late Monday.
(Above) A LIVE view of the Savannah River from WSAV.com's exclusive network of Savannah Cams. Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Mark Sawyer tells The Savannah Morning News that continuing rains in the upper Savannah River basin have prompted the situation. He said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers last week began releasing water from flood storage reservoirs at Hartwell, Richard Russell and J. Strom Thurmond lakes. He said that when water is released from the reservoirs, it typically takes about a week for people to feel the effects downstream in Savannah.
Special Statement from Effingham EMA:
In cooperation with the Effingham County Sheriff's Office and the Effingham County Fire / Rescue, the Effingham County Emergency Management Agency is advising all Effingham County citizens to stay clear of all waterways within Effingham County, especially the Savannah and Ogeechee River. The Savannah River at Tuckasee King (Clyo) has a discharge of 53,800 cubic feet per second and a stage of 18.06 feet which is forecasted to increase to 19.5 feet by tomorrow. We are asking everyone to stay off the waterways due to the increased discharge rate of the water; this advisory extends to boaters as well. The stronger currents are not only a danger to our citizens but also for our first responders in the event of a rescue.
Special Statement from Chatm County leaders:
Over this week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has coordinated scheduled releases of three reservoirs feeding the Savannah River. The Thurmond Dam just north of Augusta is the closest reservoir. Due to these scheduled releases, water levels along the Savannah River will rise above normal to about 24" upstream to 10" closer to the coast.
Tides are expected to be higher than normal due to atmospheric conditions and the schedule of the new moon. The highest tide anticipated will be Monday PM with a measurement of about 8.7 feet. Atmospheric conditions (winds from the south west) are anticipated to slightly increase this tide expectation to no more than 9.2' at Fort Pulaski. This tide measurement coupled with the releases from the Thurmond Dam, will most likely produce some minor flooding along the Savannah River. Expectations include possible water on the west end of River Street in the lower level parking areas and river side walkways. Additionally, water over Highway 80 leading to Tybee is likely.
Beginning Saturday, the Savannah River will be monitored and conditions documented at high tide. The Georgia DOT has scheduled to place electronic message boards on Highway 80 alerting drivers of the potential hazard.
The Ogeechee River has crested and is expected to begin dropping after tomorrow.
CEMA will continue monitoring both rivers throughout the weekend and alert you to observations adverse to those listed above.

Each week throughout the season, PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush hooks up with a personality who has connections with the Packers and asks him five team-related questions. This week, Dan connects with Packers play-by-play man Wayne Larrivee, who also co-hosts PFW's weekly syndicated radio show with PFW editor-publisher Hub Arkush
1. Is Aaron Rodgers playing as well as any QB you have ever seen at the moment? How do you compare him to Tom Brady and Drew Brees with one month left in the regular season?
Larrivee: Aaron is playing better than any QB I have ever been around. Compared to Brady and Brees, they are all similar in that they are in complete control of their offense, very smart, don't take unnecessary chances with the ball (especially at crunch time) and can make all the throws. However, we have never seen anyone statistically as good as A-Rod has been over the past 18 games (12 this year).
2. What's your opinion of Packers rookie RB Brandon Saine? Is it possible he could provide the same kind of late-season spark that James Starks gave the team last year?
Larrivee: They really like Saine. He has some wiggle to his game and, while he does not have the same talent as Starks, he most certainly can give the club a little lift down the stretch. He is a fine receiver and a pretty good runner — just not at the ability level of Starks. But Starks has missed a number of games due to injury in his brief one-plus seasons with the Packers, and getting him healthy for the postseason is a priority.
3. How badly do you think the team needs to get OLT Chad Clifton back after Marshall Newhouse's shaky effort vs. the Giants?
Larrivee: Newhouse ran into Jason Pierre-Paul last Sunday, and that defensive end is playing about as well as anyone in the NFC at that position right now. Newhouse has been solid overall, not exceptional. Not sure what or how much Chad will have left if and when he comes back.
4. Here's a similar question regarding getting ILBs A.J. Hawk and Desmond Bishop back in the mix. Is there a significant downgrade in your mind between them and the D.J. Smith-Robert Francois duo?
Larrivee: There is a downgrade in terms of experience with the two young linebackers as opposed to the vets. Bishop has played lights out this season and leads the team in tackles by a wide margin. I have been impressed with the play of Smith. He is small in stature only. He plays downhill and he plays big.
5. Of the four regular-season opponents remaining, which one do you believe poses the biggest threat, at the moment, in terms of ruining the Pack's run at perfection?
Larrivee: I still think the Raiders — if they get Darren McFadden and Jacoby Ford back — have the best shot at upsetting the Packers, even though the game is in Green Bay, and the Raiders are coming off a terrible loss at Miami. They have some ability and the type of ground game that can keep Rodgers and the Packers off the field. Aaron told me Monday the Bears' defense is the best they see, because not only is Chicago good on that side of the ball, they KNOW the Packers. However, if Jay Cutler is not at QB, the Bears are not going to upset the Packers at Lambeau.

Elkhart Central High school hosted the head-shaving event to raise money for St. Baldrick's foundation.
Last year they raised about $5,000 and were hoping to meet that goal this year as well.
Students and community members both came out today to get their heads shaved.
They were also accepting donations for the organization.
Elkhart Central teacher and coordinator for the event Jeremy Ruff said, "It's amazing to see the amount of money and outpouring and just some kids, they want to be a part of something. They just want to come down and shave their head and show support in one way or another."
"It's amazing. you would be so surprised to see how good people are on the inside, you've just got to give them they motivation to do something and they really come out of the woodwork. It's really awesome to watch," said E.C.H.S. senior Lauryn Campagnoli.
Cosmetology students from the career center volunteered their services to help shave heads.
If you couldn't make it to the fundraiser today but are still interested in donating, visit St. Baldrick's website and search for Elkhart Central High School, then click "Join Us."

Jrista wrote; However, the current approach to ADC taken by all manufacturers except Sony.
There are Panasonic with row wise ADC as Sony , there are Aptina and Toshiba with ADC at the sensor chip with different solutions. Every 10 row in Aptina sensor as one example
Sony has no over all patens regarding row wise ADC at the sensors edge.
And about Canons 120Mp sensor do you mean that Canon has ADC at the sensor chip
I am not talking about "row-wise" in general. I am talking quite explicitly about Sony's CP-ADC w/ Digital CDS, which is an ADC for every single column that performs a refresh readout, negative read and register for each pixel, then full sensor read on top of the negative registration to produce a near-noiseless image. THAT is the genius behind Exmor, and why it performs better than every other sensor on the market.
Row-wise ADC is not the same, as it is just a form of bucketed parallel readout. It still has the potential (and frequently realizes that potential) to produce banding. Canon also has patents for bucketed parallel on-die ADC readout. According the the patents I've read recently, it is not row-wise but clock wise. Not really sure how that affects read noise or banding (I suspect a light hatching is probably the result), but it isn't much different than row-wise on-die ADC.
There is ways around different patents, and the results shows that in the new Toshiba/Nikon sensor in 5200 with 65% QE and very good S/N figures and DR 13,3 stops
This is what David Hull wrote in another discussion we had about patents
The original IBM patent: US-5877715
The More recent Sony Patent: US-7864094 B2
The CDS is the "Correlated Double Sampler" the point of this is that when you clear the photo diode prior to recording a new image all of them reset to a slightly different reference voltage. This difference needs to be taken into account and subtracted off prior to recording the image so that this residual "noise" does not become part of the picture. For this reason, so two samples are taken with the first being subtracted from the second. Canon uses a little capacitor to do this (an analog approach). Sony does it by counting DOWN the SAR (successive Approximation Register) counter during the first sampling phase and then counting UP from this reference when the real image is recorded. Both of these methods serve to subtract out the residual "noise" in the photo site. Sony gets this essentially for free with their column SAR architecture. Canon has a column ADC patent as well; I don't have the number handy for that one.
and this is from Bob Newman
If you're interested this is Canon's patent for the CDS mechanism that they use. And here is Canon's column ADC.
The More recent Sony Patent: US-7864094 B2
That patent covers the use of the column ADC to 'bin' multiple pixels in the row, rather than the count down/count up CDS method.
ONE thing is for sure: Canon makes no column wise ADC sensors, the Sony only integrates the ADC. Canon still uses off chip, Analog Devices ADC's. That's why they can't get the performance that Sony, Toshiba does. One of the reasons that they can't is because their process geometry, on the old line, is just too coarse.
@Mike Risedal: Thank you for sharing! I am not a tech and non-anglo as well. But do I understand correctly, that Sony sensors apply kind of a black frame ( as we do it in long exposures at night) to get rid of all the noise before ever a new photograph is taken? Well, this allows much more noise free high ISOs then...So, when is it likely that Canon apply a similar system? My 5D3 seems to be a good investment until they are able to present a similar solution.

WASHINGTON – Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez of the Civil Rights Division issued the following statement today in commemoration of National Disability Employment Awareness month.
"The Civil Rights Division is committed to ensuring that the millions of Americans with disabilities are able to live full, productive lives through access to employment and all aspects of civic life. Unfortunately, myths and falsehoods about disabilities make it far too difficult for many individuals with disabilities to secure a job," said Assistant Attorney General Perez. "The Justice Department today renews its vigilance to fairly and judiciously enforcing federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of a disability. By protecting the rights of all individuals so that they can contribute to our society, we strengthen our communities and our nation as a whole. I am honored to join President Obama to commemorate National Disability Employment Awareness Month on the occasion of my return to the Justice Department."

I started using 5-hour ENERGY after my daughter was born. Waking up every two hours was not helping my job, school or active lifestyle. I work full time, go to school part time, and run and bike competitively. A friend recommended 5-hour ENERGY so I tried it. 5-hour ENERGY helped keep me feeling energized and alert through those sleepy baby days. Now that my life is back to normal I use 5-hour ENERGY to keep me on track. It is helpful when papers are due or when I'm running after my daughter in the park. I also helps with my competitive pursuits. This is a picture of me running in the Disney Marathon.

More than 250 jobs saved as hi-tech firm bought
9:30am Friday 9th November 2012 in Business
MORE than 250 jobs were yesterday saved at Harwell energy and environmental consultancy AEA Technology after it was bought out of administration.
The firm underwent a "pre-pack" administration with multi-industry consultancy Ricardo paying £18m for the business which collapsed because of a £450m black hole in its pension fund.
A total of 258 jobs were saved as a result of the move with Ricardo bosses saying there were no plans to uproot the business, now known as Ricardo-AEA, from its Harwell base. Two people were made redundant.
Robert Bell, managing director of Ricardo-AEA, said: "The transaction both secures the future for AEA Europe and provides a platform for its continued success and growth as a part of the global Ricardo organisation."
Administrator Will Wright of financial restructuring firm KPMG, said: "Unable to sustain its pension liability, the company faced a funding crisis which necessitated the appointment of administrators.
"The company's directors undertook comprehensive marketing of the operating businesses and there was a huge amount of interest with over 100 interested parties making contact.
"We are pleased that we have been able to secure new owners."
Ricardo did not take over the running of the company pension scheme which administrators said had now been passed on to the Government's Pension Protection Fund.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(WMC-TV) – The excitement about football is in the air in Oxford, Mississippi.
The Rebels are just hours away from a highly anticipated gridiron showdown against the University of Texas.
Dozens of people camped out so they can find the best spot to set up their tents at The Grove. The area does not officially open until 9 p.m. Friday.
Some people have been out waiting since 7 a.m.
Texas has never played in Oxford and rumors are already flying about the most hyped up game of the season.
"I heard Coloniel Reb is going to ride Bevo into the stadium at halftime," said one fan.
The longhorn's mascot may not be in the grove, but plenty of Texans will. Several Texas students drove all the way from Austin for the big showdown.
"Not a lot of bad blood between the two schools, which is really interesting," said another fan. "Okay, maybe a little bit of bad blood."
But fans from both sides seem to agree on something.
"It's going to be absolutely insane, we're all very excited."
People are tossing the football, reading, and catching up with friends until 9 p.m. Friday when they can begin setting up their tailgating tents.

OLYMPIA — Good swings lead to more quality at-bats, and the most notable feature the Olympia Bears took away from Thursday's nonleague game against Capital is working on — and achieving — better at-bats.
Ten runs on 12 hits can do that for a team, as it did for the Bears in their 10-4 victory over Capital at Crandall Field in the annual Bruce Crandall Day game, which started in 2012 honoring the retired Lt. Col. Crandall, a 1951 Olympia High graduate for whom the field and event is named, and other military veterans.
The runs and hits are a season high for Olympia, a winner of two straight to improve to 3-5. Two days after beating Stadium with just three hits, becoming more aggressive and attacking the first-pitch fastballs was key against Capital, said second baseman Josh Christoffer.
"That's what we've been working on lately because that's what we've been struggling with," said Christoffer, who went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs, and also pitched in relief in the seventh inning. "It finally came together."
In addition to Christoffer, Leif Hansen and Tyler Wambold each went 2-for-4 with two RBIs apiece, as the Bears built a 6-1 lead through four innings with their largest lead at 10-1 through six. Hansen, the Bears' starting pitcher, was pulled after two innings as a precaution, Bears coach Steve Roth said. Hansen missed the past two games with a concussion, and he will ease back into a regular pitching mode next week, Roth said. Meanwhile, Ryan Tamayo pitched four innings of relief, settling down after a two-walk third inning – when Capital scored its first run – and retiring eight of the next 10 batters he faced, including 1-2-3 fourth and sixth innings.
"All year long, he's been there behind guys," Roth said. "... He's been working and it's good to see. Last year he wasn't in the rotation with us at all and after last summer, he's really picked it up."
Like Olympia, which has a nonleague game against unbeaten Timberline on Friday at the Regional Athletic Complex, Capital (0-8) will play its fourth game in five days Friday when it resumes 2A Evergreen Conference play — and searches for its first win — against River Ridge .
This week, the Cougars have averaged 5.6 runs a game over three games, but first-year coach Jesse Elam said the defense is still a work in progress; five errors led to five unearned Olympia runs.
"Our defensive stuff is what's hurting us," Elam said. "... We've got to get better at that. If we played catch (Thursday), we might be in the ballgame."
Olympia is 3-0 all-time in Crandall Day games, an event created by former Olympia baseball player Michael Fairchild, now pitching at Azusa Pacific University. Bruce Crandall, who was in attendance Thursday and had the ceremonial first at-bat, received the Medal of Honor from President George W. Bush in 2007 for his actions during Vietnam's Battle of la Drang in November 1965. He flew 22 missions into enemy fire and helped evacuate approximately 70 wounded soldiers.
Baseball: Trace Florek's 2-for-3 performance helped Yelm to 12 hits in a 9-5 nonleague victory over Shelton.
Fastpitch: Breann Robertson went 3-for-4 with a triple and three RBIs, and Ally Choate had three hits and scored three runs in Yelm's 13-3 win over Bellarmine Prep in 4A Narrows League action.
Boys soccer: Centralia's Laurence Silva scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute in the Tigers' 2-1 win over Tumwater in 2A Evergreen Conference soccer. The Tigers trailed 1-0 with six minutes left. ... Freddie Bautista's goal in the 76th minute got W.F. West past Black Hills, 2-1.
College baseball: Zach Carter pitched a complete-game six-hitter, allowing one earned run in the Saint Martin's 2-1 win over Northwest Nazarene in the first game of a doubleheader in Lacey. NNU topped SMU, 7-5, in the nightcap. In Game 2, catcher Chandler Tracy notched his Great Northwest Athletic Conference-leading sixth home run of the season, and now ranks second all time in career home runs (26).

From bagpipes to fiddles at Falmouth School Christmas concert
4:20pm Saturday 29th December 2012 in Falmouth/Penryn By Greg Fountain, Ex-Reporter/Photographer
Sweet-sounding students played their hearts out and raised their voices with Christmas cheer at Falmouth School last week.
The annual Christmas concert featured everything from bagpipes to trumpets and fiddles to flutes as 160 students from across the school and sixth form college performed songs from across the decades and genres.
Matt Fox, acting head of music, said brass bands, choirs and orchestras all contributed to "a night of stunning entertainment."
Performances varied from a piano solo of the Chopin Minute Waltz by year nine student Angus Webster to a group of sixth form girls performing Adele's recent hit Skyfall.
A new appearance this year came in the form of The Falmouth School Boys' Choir who came together in October and made their debut performance to a full house in the Princess Pavilions last month.
At the Christmas Concert they sang Duke of Earl and You Raise Me Up with a solo performance by Zac Brewer from year ten.
The school brass group, led by brass team leader for Music Cornwall Gareth Churcher, also performed alongside singers.
Thanks were given to Charlotte Bone and Damian Lugg who provided the lighting, Friends of Falmouth School for the refreshments and Robyn Tyndale-Biscoe, Gareth Churcher and Sue Balkwill who gave up their time in support.

3 Elements to comprehend Organization Cash Advances
Dependant upon price of collateral, you'll be able to be lent from £5000 to £75000 for just about any reason like home improvements, debts-relief, choosing a auto, attending a holiday break trip and wedding. The payment from the coppied sum can be accomplished in 5 to 25 years or so. The unsecured financial loan selection doesn't have a security attached to it, making it possible for the tenants and householders to loan devoid of numerous threats. However, just a mortgage in the range of £3000 to £25000 could be utilized. Its repayment is to be manufactured in short-expression of merely one twelve months to 15 a long time. Interest rates, on the other hand, is retained a little higher. Obtain amount rates in the loan providers, who're providing instantaneous acceptance bad credit loans. Make an extensive assessment from the gives that come your way.
Plough money into the business enterprise by interchanging your car or truck for just a lease lorry The economic chaos was obviously a world wide event which affected a large amount of businesses and prompted disorder around a variety of nations and towns on earth. Now, a number of significant companies happen to be left attempting around the world to keep up tailor made and ensure the wellbeing with their company's long-term potential on the market during which they perform. A big company can even so often find that they've an infinitely more eco friendly long run as a result of preceding accomplishment already in the market and in most cases plenty of personal steadiness to manufacture a reduction and trip the economic collapse about the pretence of creating earnings opposed to this to support another. However a company will usually donrrrt you have that high-class and must maintain managing securely and profitably regularly to make sure a viable long term available in the market without having suffering monetarily.
To get these loans speedier, use on the internet approach to application. Just pack an age-type containing private information around the customer like his brand, grow older, bank-account amount, cash flow, occupation, contact details et cetera and send it in. Loan provider will verify the content and scholarhip the particular financial loan if he could be enthusiastic about the small print offered by you. He'll cable the financial loan total into your money once you. These loans are available for every type of creditor. Of course, even poor collectors keeping poor credit standing just like defaults, delinquencies, late payment, a bankruptcy proceeding, et cetera might want to use these loans without having concern.
By making use of the above mentined ideas, you may be sure that your on line money progress financial transaction is safe.
personal small loans no credit check
In some cases if every thing moves well odds are there you'll be able to the cash throughout time. Most creditors are presently giving payday loan with some other adaptable fine print. All you should do is sit prior to your desktop computer and locate a mortgage lender getting the bare minimum financial loan numbers.

What started out as another routine flight for Michele Stauffer could have ended badly when the plane's landing gear didn't work. But Stauffer calmly was able to land the plane safely on its belly and, months later, still thinks about the moments.
On April 25, 2013, she and a co-pilot were on their way to a meeting when Stauffer noticed the landing gear wouldn't go down. She tried everything she could think of. Her co-pilot read everything in the manual. They even called five mechanics as they circled the skies over Johnson County.
After burning some fuel, Stauffer attempted to do something she had never done before: land a plane without landing gear. It worked and the plane landed safely on its belly at New Century Airport.
For Stauffer, it's just another significant accomplishment in a long, successful career.
It's been that way since her early 20s when a chance flight over Alaska took her breath away. She decided to get her pilot's license, passing the written test by one point.
"I was so fired up that I had passed my written test that I went out to the airport and took a lesson in a Cessna 150, a 30-minute lesson," she recalled.
There were some in her family who thought she should have a "real job." But she always had the support of her mother.
"My mom encouraged me a great deal. She said I could do anything I set my mind to. She was way ahead of her time. Neighbors would say, 'You're not really going to let Michele fly are you?' And she would say, 'Leave the girl alone, she's doing what she wants to do,'" she said.
Stauffer's love of flying led to a career in aircraft sales. Despite it being mostly men, in 1990 she founded Kansas City Turbine Aircraft Sales. Three years later, she purchased Kansas Aircraft Corporation. One memorable client was actor Christopher Reeve.
Business was good, though it took some time for men to get that Stauffer has thousands of flying hours and knows each and every aircraft she sells.
"I'll be working late and it's kind of funny because you'll get somebody, a guy from California calling because it's only 5 o'clock and I'll answer the phone 'Kansas Aircraft,' and they'll say, 'Well, is there a salesman still around?' I'll say, 'They've all gone home, but I might be able to help you,'" she laughed.
In 1993, Stauffer got an invitation of a lifetime. She had the opportunity to fly a Russian SU-27 tactical jet fighter. After some convincing by a mentor, she agreed. In doing so, she became the first American woman to fly such a plane and break the sound barrier at the same time.
"It was a real experience," she said.
In her personal time, Stauffer flies for Angel Flight, transporting hospital patients to other cities or other charitable needs. On one flight, a mother and cancer patient touched her deeply.
"And I asked her, 'Melody, how was your treatment?' Because what are you going to say? And she said, 'Oh Michele, it may not help me, but I hope it helps someone else.' It's the people I've met who have given me far more than I have given," Stauffer said.
These days, Stauffer has turned the reins over to a local couple and is helping them with the transition to ownership. Down the road, she hopes to return to Alaska, with no regrets for a career well spent - buying, selling, helping and flying.
"I've been blessed. I still love to meet the people and I love to get in an airplane and fly," she said.
Stauffer has flown more than 250 trips for Angel Flight. In 2006, she was named National Pilot of the Year by the foundation.

Over the next week or so I'm going to be discussing what's in my test lab, both the good and bad, and what I use on a daily basis vs what gets shelved. In any working lab -- especially one testing all sorts of new gear -- there's a foundation. That foundation includes racks, UPSes, KVMs, switches, servers, and basically everything that a standard datacenter would have, but all geared to be modified and changed constantly to facilitate hardware and software testing.
In essence, this means that the foundation lab gear gets much more abuse than standard datacenter gear -- for instance, the racks are constantly changing, with new gear getting racked and older hardware re-racked, switch configurations change all the time, and servers are built with multiple operating systems more times than I can count. In short, over and above the hardware and software that gets reviewed, there's some really rough real-world testing occurring constantly, and that part of things rarely gets any press. So, I'm going to start that right now, starting with servers, storage, and operating systems.
There's an old lady of the lab. Actually, there's two, but the other one is a switch that I'll get to in a later post. The elderly yet rock-solid HP ML370 sitting in the corner of the lab has proven to be a wise investment. It's a G2 model, two 2.8Ghz Intel XEON CPUs, a few gigabit NICs and 4GB of RAM. There's no RAID controller, just a mix of 18GB, 36GB, 72GB, and 147GB drives in the six U320 drive bays. It began life running Red Hat AS 2.1, and was then upgraded to RHEL3 quite some time ago. It hasn't been upgraded since due largely to lack of time and need. Among other things, it was running GSX Server for over a year, just recently upgraded to VMware Server 1.0. There are only a few VMs running on it, but they include the lab's main domain controller, and currently a VirtualCenter 2.0 server. Otherwise, this server is used to generate loads of varying types to hardware under test, from Web loads to SMB torture testing, network throughput testing, and on, and on. I'm probably jinxing it now, but in the several years it's been running, it hasn't hiccuped once, nor lost a disk. Also, it's never been backed up.
Hmmm. I'll be right back.
Okay. I feel slightly better now that it's backing up to nearline storage.

Chair, Vice Chair resign following Morrill County Hospital Board vote
The Chair and vice-Chair of the Morrill County Hospital Board have resigned after the board voted Wednesday night to give the hospital's management group, Rural Health Development, sixty day notice that it plans to terminate their contract. Chair Nick Lapaseotes resigned shortly after the three to two vote was taken and Vice-Chair Richard Clarke resigned Friday. The two men were the two minority votes.
Clarke told KNEB News the unnamed board member who made the motion had "concerns about the results he was seeing" and the two other members who had reservations about the management firm when the contract began six months ago joined him.
Rural Health Development had been managing the hospital since January 1st. Clarke said it had been a "long drawn-out process" to get the management firm and he "personally felt it had been good for the facility". Clarke added they were "doing what they were asked to do and doing a good job" and the board's actions placed them back to where they were a year and a half ago.
RHD President Ron Ross told KNEB he "wishes the hospital the best" and felt they were "making progress in helping the board move forward". Ross said "the status quo is what they wanted and that is not us."

She seems to be particularly taken by Façade, which is a nice coincidence, since it was composed the year she was born. (Façade was a student piece; I've blogged about it here) Unfortunately, I can't be there for the Carnegie gig (too many other things going on around here this week), but she'll be playing a complete recital of my works at the Colburn School in LA on February 1st, after which we'll convene in Toronto (brrrr) for four days of recording sessions.
Thanks for investing so much of your time and effort in my music, Danielle! Hope your Carnegie show is a big success.

When customers buy a set of stock plans, it says right there on the prints how many square feet the project involves. If they hire an architect, they begin by telling him or her how many feet they need and what they want to spend — and, naturally, they assume there's a linear relationship between square feet and cost.
The purpose of this article is twofold: first, to explain how to think about square-foot costs yourself; and second, how to explain them to the customer in such a way that you can still get the job.
Educating the customer on this topic is part of your job, and you may need to do it more than once during a project. For example, whenever I quote a cost-per-square-foot range to a potential customer, he nearly always forgets the high number and fixes his mind on the lower one, thinking, "That's what my house will cost." I have to remind him that the production costs for the project are the culmination of the estimate's many cost-category line items.
In other words, final price depends not only on a building's size, but also on the house's geometry, the level of architectural detail, and the lot conditions.
Certainly the shape of a house has much to do with what it costs to build. To get this point across to customers, I make an exaggerated comparison between two structural footprints that vary in geometric form but not in size. Both represent structures that measure 100 square feet. Building Footprint A is a 10-foot-by-10-foot box. Building Footprint B is a 2-foot-by-50-foot elongated rectangle.
It's unlikely that anyone would build a 2-foot-by-50-foot house — or even a 10-foot-by-10-foot one — but examples like this are useful in explaining to customers why two houses with the same square footage can cost radically different amounts.
Based on an estimating tabulation summary, Building A has a 40-foot perimeter, which requires 40 feet of excavation, footings, stem walls, exterior wall framing, roof framing, wall sheathing, siding, soffit, fascia, exterior paint, insulation, drywall, interior paint, and baseboard. Building B, by contrast, requires 104 lineal feet of those same items. That's 260 percent more than — or 2.6 times — the amount of labor and materials needed by Building A. (Both structures, it's assumed, have the same roof area of 100 square feet, not including overhangs and pitch).
This example demonstrates quite clearly that the cost to construct or remodel each of these two buildings differs radically, despite their equivalent square footage.
A more realistic example. Once clients have absorbed this lesson, I show them a more real-world example involving two distinctly different homes with the same 3,850 square feet of livable area. The first home has six outside walls and a simple roof form. The second has many more walls — some curved — and a correspondingly more complicated roof.
Showing clients the footprints of simple and complex houses with the same square footage can help make the point that this measurement is not the only determinant of cost.
Communicating these concepts to customers with words alone is difficult, so it's important to show them drawings. With illustrations to refer to, it's much more likely they'll understand what you're explaining — and agree with your conclusions. And if at some later date the customer asks why something costs so much, you can refer back to the drawings and remind them that when something is complicated it costs more to build.
Added cost for cathedral. One popular detail that costs a lot more than people think is cathedral ceilings. I use a drawing to explain this concept to customers too. It shows two houses with identical footprints; one has flat ceilings and the other vaulted. In my experience — and I have the job-costing to prove it — the shell of a house costs 40 percent more to produce when all the rooms have cathedral ceilings.
Adding cathedral ceilings significantly increases the cost of the shell. These houses are identical except that one has flat ceilings and the other vaulted. It's clear from the drawing that vaulted ceilings require more material in the interior partition walls. (They also require more labor.) What's less obvious is the increased structural complexity and the need to run ducts somewhere other than in the attic.
How can this be? Well, sloping the ceilings affects framing, electrical wiring, insulation, drywall, painting, and — most significantly — hvac ducting. In a flat-ceiling home, all the ductwork can be run through the attic; if the ceiling is vaulted, that may not be an option. To house the ducts, you may have to frame in a soffit or bury them under a slab. And without the possibility of collar ties, you may have to use scissors trusses or a bearing ridge.
So if the customer suddenly says, "Hey, we want to change all the ceilings (or just one of them) to cathedral," don't be foolish enough to give him a price off the top of your head. Go back to the office and estimate what the change will really cost based on its impact on all the elements described here.
Effect on schedule. When you're figuring out how much extra to charge for vaulted ceilings — or for anything else that increases the volume of the building — don't look at just the material and labor. Think about the schedule. With more volume to build and finish, the project might take longer to complete; if you don't factor in added overhead, you'll have to eat that cost yourself.
The old adage "time is money" really does apply here!
Customers tend to perceive cost per square foot as referring only to livable square-footage area. To them, garages, basements, porches, and attics are not part of the equation and should be practically free. In earlier times, when houses were simpler and garages were smaller, these areas probably didn't cost very much. Today, though, they're much larger and include all kinds of amenities.
What are the most expensive rooms in a house on a per-square-foot basis? Typically the kitchen, master bath, and family room, because they contain more plumbing and wiring and pricier finish materials than other rooms. But if you include the cost of the shell, the cost differences between various parts of a home are less than you might think.
Garage vs. bedroom. Most customers expect to pay more for a larger bedroom — but not for a larger garage. Yet in most cases, the two finished spaces are more similar than they are different: Both have footings, stem walls, floors, framing, windows, wiring, and drywall. Bedrooms have interior-finish items like carpeting, closet trim, closet doors, a bedroom door, base, and casing. Garages lack floor coverings and closets but have overhead doors, door openers, 5/8-inch Type X drywall, a fire-rated door to the house, and a side door to exit the building.
If you make a comparison between bedrooms and garages based on how much they actually cost per square foot to build, you'll find they aren't that far apart. Assuming both areas are built slab-on-grade, my job-costing from past projects has shown them to be nearly identical (within 2 percent) in cost per square foot.
This is something you may need to communicate to customers — and you should definitely be aware of it yourself, so you don't end up giving garage space away.
Price perception. Because customers can't stop themselves from thinking in terms of cost per square foot, I have found it useful to counter by thinking in terms of the total area under roof.
A few years back I built someone a new home for $785,400. It had 3,850 square feet of livable area and a 750-square-foot three-car garage. It was a much easier sell when I quoted the customer a $171-per-square-foot cost ($785,400 ÷ [3,850 + 750]) for total under roof than it would have been had I quoted him a $204-per-square-foot cost ($785,400 ÷ 3,850) for livable space.
There's nothing dishonest about this. The cost to the customer is the same either way — and it's unrealistic to pretend that areas that aren't livable have no cost.
As someone who is serious about job-costing, I have a good sense of what my projects actually cost to build.
Consider the production costs of two spec houses I built on flat lots in the same subdivision with similar exterior details and rooflines. The homes had identical kitchens, master baths, and 900-square-foot three-car garages. One home was 3,500 square feet (livable) and was built for a cost of $868,000. The other was 4,500 square feet (livable) and cost $935,000 to build. Does this make sense? How can the home that's 1,000 square feet larger cost only $67,000 ($67 per square foot) more?
The answer is simple. The 3,500-square-foot floor plan was expanded to 4,500 square feet. The added space was a two-story "cube" with 500 square feet per floor. By the time we built the second home, the production costs for the expensive areas were known, because we had built the original version of the plan before. The added space was inexpensive because, like the theoretical 10-foot-by-10-foot house discussed at the beginning of this story, the cube contained minimal added material and labor.
Of course, when we put the house on the market, customers did not distinguish between the expensive and inexpensive space, so the added rooms greatly increased our profit on the project. This is a tried-and-true method for making money: Know what square footage sells for and figure out a way to build it for less than that.

Choosing a Career School
A private postsecondary career school is any for-profit or not-for-profit business maintaining a physical presence in New Hampshire that: Offers training or education in any form or manner, for tuition or a fee, and a) enhances a person's employment, career, trade, professional, or occupational abilities; b) provides for continuing education or certification in one's field, career, trade, profession, or occupation; or, c) fulfills a training or education requirement in one's field, career, trade, profession or occupation.
These schools are non-degree granting institutions that offer courses in a variety of subjects including computer training, medical assisting, nursing, massage therapy, Montessori teacher training, heavy equipment operations, office support, EMT and paramedic, hazardous materials handling, modeling, electrical training, bartending and more. Programs are vocational in nature and range from several days to several years.
Students may spend many hours at their chosen career school and hundreds, if not thousands of dollars and are encouraged to consider the following:
Any career school meeting the requirements above, must, by state law, be licensed. A list of schools that are licensed to operate in New Hampshire can be found at Career School Directory . If you are interested in a school that is not licensed, you may call (603) 271-6443 to see if this school is either a) exempted from licensure, b) is licensed, but not on the Career School Directory yet, or c) is operating illegally. A school operating illegally in New Hampshire may be fined $5,000.00 per month and up to $25,000.00 per year.
All licensed career schools are required to be bonded. Being bonded means that the student's tuition has some limited protection should the school close and not be able to refund students who have not finished their program.
Different schools offer different types of job placement; anything from notice of job opportunities to internships. It is unlikely, however, that a school can guarantee job placement. Ask specific questions of any school that guarantees that they will find students a job.
This means that the student has three business days to cancel their enrollment with the school after signing the enrollment agreement. This statement is required to be on any career school contract or enrollment agreement that you sign; if it isn't, please contact this office.
Students might want to transfer to another school after completing a course or program. Ask the school whether their courses can be transferred. Some schools have agreements with specific schools or colleges to accept certain courses. If the school has such an agreement, ask for a copy of it. It is entirely up to each school to decide whether it will accept another school's coursework.
It is important to understand the total cost of the program, including the costs of registration, supplies and equipment. If the school wants students to buy books or computers through them, students should do a price check at other stores or online to compare prices. If a loan is taken, it is important to understand interest payments and how they will add up.
All career schools are required to comply with state regulated refund policies. If students withdraw after attending 50% of a program, the school is not required to refund any money to the student. Withdrawal prior to the 50% point requires a pro-rata refund per Pos 1111 Chapter 1100.
Students should look for a lender that will pay student loans to the school in several installments (called "disbursements"). It is typically in the student's best interest to have the lender send payments for each session (e.g., quarter, trimester, semester, etc) rather than paying the school in one lump sum. (If your school closes, the loan company will hold the student responsible for any money it paid to the school on your behalf. If the lender pays for the entire program up front, students may find themselves responsible for a large sum of money, even if they didn't complete the program.)
Read all materials provided by the school, especially the enrollment agreement and its refund policy. Make sure that the school's enrollment agreement and refund policy comply with New Hampshire law. Students should not sign anything until they are sure that they understand what they are signing, particularly if they are feeling pressure to sign a document. If a school is pressuring students, please contact this office. Make sure the school provides everything promised in writing. Keep copies of everything, including certificates, tests, attendance records, grade reports, transcripts, etc. If ever there is a question or complaint, or if the school goes out of business, those materials will be extremely helpful.
Students are more successful at career schools when they speak, read, and write English well. If the school does not have an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) course, they are encouraged to attend an ESOL course prior to enrolling in a career school. For a listing of schools offering ESOL courses, visit the ESOL listing.
Licensing is a process whereby a government agency (i.e. the New Hampshire Department of Education, Higher Education Division) regulates a school per statutes (laws) and rules.
Accreditation is a process whereby either a regional or national organization evaluates either a school, as a whole, or a program offered by the school according to a set of standards.
Most all career schools in New Hampshire are required to be licensed; only a few career schools in New Hampshire choose to be accredited.
Privately owned career schools are required to be licensed by the Department of Education, Higher Education Division, but programs at privately (or publicly) owned colleges and universities are not required to be licensed. For instance, a massage therapy program at a privately owned massage therapy school will be licensed, but a massage therapy program at a college is not governed by career school licensing laws. Other similar programs will include certificate programs at colleges such as bartending, paralegal studies, graphic design, computer programs, medical billing and coding, etc. This may or may not influence whether or not students decide to attend a career school or a college.
