Carmona mum after melee
Sheffield takes plunking personally, rushes mound from first
CLEVELAND -- Mum was mostly the word in the Indians' clubhouse regarding Friday night's bench-clearing fracas.Fausto Carmona, who pegged Gary Sheffield to start the whole thing, refused to comment on any questions involving the altercation. He just wanted to talk about the Indians' 6-5 comeback win. Even when a reporter jokingly asked if his pitching hand hurt after hitting the 39-year-old veteran several times in the head, Carmona barely cracked a smile. "No," Carmona said. "I want to talk about the game only." It was a reflection of his manager, who also ended all talk of the fracas after the first question. "I'm not going to talk about it just because if I answer one question then there will be more questions," Eric Wedge said. "I'd just rather stay away from it. "Obviously, everyone can make their own deductions from what they saw. I think we've got a couple more games, and it's best that I just don't comment on it at all. What the 33,733 in attendance at Progressive Field saw was a listless, fast-paced game come to a screeching halt and abruptly turn into a free-for-all of sorts in a matter of seconds. It all started when Carmona hit Sheffield in the left elbow with a pitch with one out in the top of the seventh, two batters after Miguel Cabrera's second home run of the night put Detroit on top, 4-2. Sheffield walked slowly to first base, carrying his bat with him while staring at Carmona at various points. Carmona, who leads the Indians in hit batsmen, plunked Sheffield in a game against the Tigers on April 17. Not many of the Indians said they remembered that. Sheffield, meanwhile, was well aware. "This is the third time," Sheffield said, though it wasn't immediately apparent what the third might be. "Like I said, three strikes, you're out. And if there's a fourth, it gets more violent, trust me."
The action quickly got violent after Carmona threw over to first base moments later. Sheffield gestured and yelled, "Throw the ball home" at Carmona, who answered back. That sent Sheffield sprinting off of the bag and toward the mound as Carmona met him and both dugouts and bullpens emptied."He called me out," Sheffield said. "If you call me out, I answer the call."
Replays showed Sheffield and Carmona wrestling in the middle of the scrum as Carmona, who had Sheffield in a headlock, delivered multiple punches to the top of Sheffield's head. Others on both sides tried to break up the scrum.
They briefly succeeded, having pulled the players apart, until Victor Martinez started exchanging words with a Tigers player. It took several players to hold back Martinez, including fellow Venezuelans Magglio Ordonez and Cabrera. Several Tigers, meanwhile, forced Sheffield back into the visitors' dugout.
Sheffield, Carmona, Martinez and Placido Polanco were all ejected from the game, forcing an entirely new pitcher-battery duo into the game for Cleveland and a new baserunner for Detroit.Martinez, who was playing Nintendo with Josh Barfield before he addressed the media, was still steamed about the incident. "If you're going to do something, you charge right away," Martinez said. "After you're at first, what are you trying to do, get attention or what? "You've got to protect your teammates. I'm not going to let anyone go at my pitcher like that." Martinez brought attention to Carmona's tendency to pitch inside to every hitter, not just Sheffield. "Everybody knows that Fausto's ball moves too much," he said. Sheffield was particularly upset at Martinez, whose act, Sheffield said, "is tired." "All this macho stuff -- throwing the equipment off," Sheffield said. "Trust me, you don't want any of me." Sheffield didn't direct his anger just at Martinez. "I saw the tape," he said. "I know who they are and I guarantee you they'll have to deal with me." Sheffield, and anyone else involved in Friday night's fracas, will likely have to deal with the powers of Major League Baseball first.

Work quite well on dark hair
Was surprised how easy this was to use. I have bleached blond hair so was worried it may stain but it washed out leaving no trace. Will definitely buy the other colours.
Very good.
This product did not work for me at all, I have brown hair and after about half an hour the colour was really nice but in 20 minutes it had more less disappeared and had transferred on to my clothes instead.
this is so cool - and easy to use. both me and my hairdresser wondered if it would leave traces as my hair is dry - but it washed out brilliantly.
This is great! I have bleach blonde hair and put a leave in conditioner and the pink can be as bright and bold or as pale as I like! Fab :)
This is a pretty awesome lil thing. It even shows up a bit on dark hair. Although it does come off super easy, like on clothes and my neck was pink for a bit.
The product is useless! A waste of money. There is hardly any product in the bug. The picture is deceiving and makes it look like the whole thing is filled with colour when it''s only a thin layer.
I tried this out for a festival and within a matter of hours the colour had all gone from my hair. I put serium on first to make the colour stick then I hair sprayed it to make it stay. It didn''t work.
The colour is not as bright as I was expecting but it stays in the hair well and washes out easily.
Realy good colour my hair is auburn and it covered realy well does come off a bit through the day i wouldnt wear white if uve long hair realy pleased with it

These countries develop cooperation with NATO in areas of mutual interest and actively contribute to NATO operations. Individual global partners choose the areas where they wish to engage in and cooperate with NATO in a spirit of mutual benefit and reciprocity.
Over recent years, NATO has developed bilateral relations with each of these countries. Global partners now have the same access to partnership activities as those in formal partnership frameworks. Activities range from joint exercises and operations, to strategic-level training on issues of intelligence, information and technology. The importance of reaching out to countries and organisations across the globe was underlined in the Strategic Concept adopted at the November 2010 Lisbon Summit. At Lisbon, Allied leaders declared their intention, as part of a focused effort to reform NATO's partnerships policy, to better engage with global partners, contributing significantly to international security. Following up on the Lisbon decisions, Allied foreign ministers approved a new partnerships policy at their meeting in Berlin in April 2011.
In line with the new policy, all partners will be treated in the same way, offering them the same basis of cooperation and dialogue. Moreover, there are now more opportunities for meetings in flexible formats, bringing together NATO members and partners with other countries, which NATO may have no bilateral programme of cooperation. These include China, India, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Colombia. Such meetings have taken place to consult partners on different issues, such as counter piracy and countering narcotics in Afghanistan.1. The Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, Partnership for Peace, the Mediterranean Dialogue and the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative.

The November 3rd Strikeforce show that once had Daniel Cormier and Frank Mir as headliners has been cancelled according to a press release the fight organization released.
And the fighters involved in the card didn't know about it until the press release hit inboxes all around the MMA media world.
I just spoke to @dc_mma about today's news, and guess what? He had no idea. Incredible. His quotes coming to @mmafighting shortly.— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) October 12, 2012
Cormier spoke to Helwani for a short time and the Mike Chiappetta piece on the Strikeforce cancellation features a quote from that conversation:
"I wish somebody would have told me something," he told MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani. "This is unbelievable. I'm very upset. I just want to be informed. That's all. I don't think that's asking for too much."
Cormier would later tweet out some inspirational words, which Jason High (also fighting on the card) immediately agreed with.
Things will be ok.Very sad and upset butit'll work out. @ufc, @strikeforceand @shosportsare all top fight organizations.Will b fine.DC — Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) October 12, 2012
Yezzir. "@dc_mma: I've dealt with much worse in my life. #positivethoughts. DC"
— Jason High (@KCBanditMMA) October 12, 2012
No public word has come from Jorge Masvidal, Bobby Green or Liz Carmouche right now. Or Tim Kennedy and Trevor Smith.
Kennedy proved to be kind of prophetic in his own way, when he responded to a fan asking if he was still fighting on November 3rd just a day ago:
@dannythedouche As far as I know. If you hear anything let me know. I will probably read about strikeforce closing on the Internet.— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyMMA) October 11, 2012
UPDATE: Tim Kennedy just tweeted about the situation - he didn't know anything either:
Thank you @strikeforce for letting me read about my flight being canceled on the Internet. I was 9 weeks into my fight camp. Awesome!— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyMMA) October 12, 2012

Tool for comparing CSS files?
I'm writing a web application in a proprietary server page framework provided by a large business software vendor. They give you a suite of standard stylesheets for their own applications, and we've tinkered with these to make them fit the requirements for our new application.
The client has recently upgraded to a new version of the software and the standard CSS files have completely changed (as in the file has been completely re-ordered and reformatted). Looking at the end results in a browser, not a lot has changed between the two versions, but it's impossible to tell which styles are new/changed using a standard diff or Beyond Compare comparison, since the files look nothing alike.
Is there a CSS comparison tool out there that actually parses CSS files and can tell you the differences between the style declarations in different files?

You could use Opera Dragonfly or Firebug to look at the resulting CSS on each element, and get a list of the properties applied and inherited, and the calculated values, but you'd still have to compare the two manually. But at least you'd have to lists that you could put side-by-side that would include the same properties in the same order.

Android Deployments Up 886% Over Q2 2009
Nokia retains its worldwide market lead.
International smartphone trend reporting firm Canalys released its Q2 2010 report today highlighting the growth of Android compared to the previous year and the continued success of Nokia, though the release was quick to point out that the competition is closing the gap.
From Q2 2009, Android deployments rose worldwide by a staggering 886 percent. Canalys VP and Principal Analyst Chris Jones said that this spike was largely due to carrier promotions and increased adoption by hardware vendors such as HTC and Motorola.
"The latest release of our detailed and complete country-level smart phone shipment data for Q2 2010 clearly reveals the impressive momentum Android is gaining in markets around the world," Jones said.
Nokia maintained its lead in the worldwide smartphone market, shipping almost 24 million units in Q1 2010, though other OEMs are closing the gap. Apple contributed the largest portion to the worldwide market's growth of 13 percent.
Full details of Canalys report can be found here.
missing linkThere is no link to the report. I'd like to see that.
what would the statistics be for a "root"able version ONLYWould love to see the statistics for "root"able versions ONLY of Linux hand-held/embedded devices.
For Nokia, only Nxxx need apply.
For Android, most of the versions of Android are bastardized with proprietary crap in a vain attempt at vendor lock-in, which is extremely short sighted. Smart users want to be able to tweak, configure and install "un-authorized" versions of software on their Linux computers (hand-helds).
Thus for a phone to be considered "smart", it MUST allow for root access for this purpose.
No root access, then the device simply is NOT SMART.
My guess is that once you remove the Nxx versions of Nokia phones and anything not running Maemo (only Nxxx, specifically N770, N800, N880 and N900 run Maemo); then open versions of Google's Andorid operating system might surpass the Nokia open versions running Maemo.
For Android, most likely 100% of the cellular provider phones would NOT qualify as open and/or root-able, thus they too would be removed from the list.
if you are going to purchase something and call it SMART, don't you think it should be? Me too!

Buying those seasoning packets is really costly. The secret is MYOM -- make your own mix.
This guest post comes from Kris at Cheap Healthy Good.
The more I learn about saving cash on food, the madder I get with myself when I knowingly waste money. While this holds true for every aspect of grocery shopping, it's double the fury when it comes to McCormick-style seasoning packets. Why?
Well, almost any prepackaged spice mix, rub, or powder can be made at home for a fraction of the price. Oftentimes, it'll taste better, too.
Case in point: I'd been running out of chili powder for almost a month. It occurred to me several times to buy some, but always in places like the Q Train or the bathroom at Barnes & Noble.
More people are refinancing into short-term loans. Is this right for you?
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Mortgage rates fell again this week, says Freddie Mac, the government-run mortgage agency that surveys the market each week.
The average price of a 30-year mortgage dropped to 4.42%, from 4.44%. Buyers are paying an average of 0.7 point for that rate. This time last year, the mortgage rate was 5.12%, which seemed pretty low back then.
Amazingly, you can get a 15-year fixed-rate loan for under 4% -- 3.90% this week, which is down from last week's rate of 3.92%.
Health officials fear salmonella outbreak could sicken thousands.
This post comes from Mark Huffman at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
Wright County Egg, one of the nation's largest egg producers, has increased its recall of eggs to 380 million, or 32 million cartons. That's a 66% increase since Wednesday.
Meanwhile, health officials are worried that the tainted eggs could spark the worst outbreak of salmonella in two decades, eclipsing the 2007 outbreak linked to peanut butter.
The growing popularity of group buying has drawn a shady element.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
A rise in the number of group-buying sites offering daily deals is making it harder for bargain hunters to spot group sales that are worthwhile.
Group-buying sites offer limited-time purchase windows on discounted goods or services but follow through on the deal only if enough people sign up. Their ranks have multiplied over the last few months, as startups jostle for a piece of the profitable market.
If you want a better life than you have now, you're going to have to do some uncomfortable things in the short term.

"It takes all the running you can do just to stay in the same place." -- The Red Queen, "Alice in Wonderland"
I receive piles of stories from readers, but the final question in a recent reader mailbag really stuck with me. I'll quote it here, so you can read it again:
So I sit here writing this at a very challenging job that I enjoy the bulk of, but zaps the life right out of me, and leaves little of me for my two young children, ages 6 and 2. (I am a paralegal.) I enjoy the majority of what I do, but there is so much of me invested in this, and I feel overworked. I am currently the only paralegal for two very busy attorneys, and I only have a helper to answer the phones for about 20 hours per week. This all leads to my question.
I am a single mother for the majority of the past two years due to a nasty divorce.
You may not realize it, but you probably can't sue your credit card company and other businesses you deal with. That may be ending. Here's why it matters.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
Talk to a lawyer, and he'll tell you: You can sue anyone for any reason at any time. It's your constitutional right. (And other people can sue you as well, even for Internet posts. Check out "When free speech gets expensive.")
While it may be theoretically possible to sue on a whim, in the real world it's not as easy as it may seem -- at least not if the target is your bank, broker, cell phone provider or many other businesses you deal with. That's because, before they agree to do business with you, many of those companies require you to accept a contract provision waiving your right to sue in favor of arbitration. Why didn't you know that? Because it's in the fine print you never read.
The new rules improve the chances that you'll get more value from the card before it expires or inactivity fees eat up the balance.
Sheryl Harris of The Plain Dealer in Cleveland has some good advice: If you're planning to buy a gift card, wait until Sunday, Aug. 22.
That's when new federal gift card rules take effect, along with the final protections for credit card customers that were included in the Credit CARD Act and phased in over time since the bill was signed into law last year.

Four outstanding design teams were selected as finalists to compete in Stage II of the international competition to revitalize this important public space.

Lithgow replaces Michael Gambon, who was originally cast in Ira Sachs' movie but departed the project due to scheduling conflicts.
Lithgow and Molina will play Ben and Jorge, respectively, partners of 38 years who marry at City Hall. After Jorge loses his job, the two are forced to live apart.
"We'll be playing the main roles in the best script I've read in years," said Lithgow in a statement, "a vivid portrait of marriage, with all its joy, folly and occasional heartbreak."
Lithgow was last seen on Broadway in a Tony-nominated performance in The Columnist. The Tony and Emmy winner's stage credits also include All My Sons, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Sweet Smell of Success, The Front Page and Beyond Therapy. His film work includes "The World According to Garp," "Terms of Endearment" and "Shrek," and his TV credits include "Third Rock From the Sun," "Dexter" and "How I Met Your Mother."
Molina is a three-time Tony nominee (Red, Fiddler on the Roof, Art), whose film credits include "Chocolat," "An Education" and "Spider-Man 2." His TV work includes "Ladies Man," "Bram and Alice" and "Monday Mornings."
Sachs is also a producer of "Love Is Strange," alongside Lars Knudsen and Jay Van Hoy, and Lucas Joaquin. Filming is slated to begin in August in New York City.

Fact-Checking Michele Bachmann: Bring On The Crazy!
by Chuckie Corra, Sun Apr 11, 2010 at 11:24:42 PM EDT
I believe that now it is time to fact-check the budding Minnesotan rogue, seeing as how every day she is becoming more starstruck and more consumed by her little fame.
"If her same-sex marriage ban amendment does not pass in 2004: "The sex curriculum will be essentially by taught by the local gay community."
Yes, the woman is batshit crazy. Lets move on (anyone else find it interesting that her family owns a mental healthcare practice?)
I checked up on her Politifact.com file and found some not very surprising information.
Ezekiel Emanuel, one of President Obama's key health care advisers, "says medical care should be reserved for the nondisabled. So watch out if you're disabled."
What's the verdict on this one? Well, it gets a big "Sarah Palin you betcha! FALSE"
According to Kenneth Baer, Emanuel was exploring different views of political theory as they apply to health care decisions and following one school of thought through to the point where he notes that it would lead to "potentially disturbing types of policy ramifications
You can read the Bachmann file for more infor if you so desire, onto the next one!
ACORN will be a paid partner with the Census Bureau and "they will be in charge of going door-to-door and collecting data from the American public."
Classic Bachmann. Blame ACORN. Trash the Census Bureau. Fear for the American People. What else makes it classic Bachmann? The fact that it is FALSE!
According to politifact reports:
Partners agree "to promote the 2010 Census among their constituents." As a partner, ACORN has agreed to spread the word among its people about the availability of temporary Census jobs. The U.S. Census Bureau expects to hire 1.4 million people through the course of the 2010 census, the bulk of them to do the door-to-door questionnaires, so the bureau casts a wide net to get applicants, including through its partners. Partners don't get paid, but they presumably benefit by getting the word out to members about jobs, and also by providing a public service emphasizing the importance of filling out the Census.
ACORN and others PROMOTE the temporary Census jobs, but in no way are involved with the hiring. Bachmann, one again, lets her pseudo-patriotism overencumber the facts.
I want to throw in just one more for now, for good measure
In the 1970s, "the swine flu broke out . . . under another Democrat, President Jimmy Carter."
In a last ditch effort, Bachmann tried to blame swine flu on the democrats. Of course, the Democrats in Congress and the White House have ultimate control over the viral and bacterial disease flow in the environment and all around the United States (its written in the Constitution.. duh!) so naturally it was the peanut farmer's fault.
Actually, the swine flu surfaced during the Ford administration, and even briefly during the Reagan years.
Reported by politifact, the scare began in February 1976 when recruits at Fort Dix, N.J., came down with flu symptoms, and one died. This led to fears of a pandemic. The president in 1976 was Gerald Ford — a Republican
Rep. Bachmann, your reputation no doubt shows that you are just another shining star for the right-wing's repertoire. The lack of facts is nothing new, therefore I don't expect you to change.

text: Money Issues in Relationship 10 Tips For Balancing Love and Money by Angelica Marden 2/14/14 14 Reactions 102 Shares Print 7 22 59 14 0 It's a sad but common tune: debt threatens to divide or break up an otherwise strong couple that hadn't set up any financial ground rules. Love and money don't always go hand in hand, which means it's crucial to consider the long term repercussions of sharing your life and bank account with another person. There's no magical credit card or antidebt potion, but here are some tips for keeping the communication lines open, piggy bank full, and both of you crazy in love. Source: Thinkstock 1 Discuss and Share Your Financial Goals What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Before you get married or move in together, you should tackle the tough questions so both of you know what to expect and aren't shocked years down the road. If things are really serious, make sure to discuss your savings tactics and goals, debt, plans for providing for children, and retirement plans. If you're not picking out dresses yet, discuss monthly and yearly expenses like housing, bills, and lifestyle and entertainment expenses. Source: Getty 1 / 10 2 Make a Joint Spending Plan What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Make a spending plan, together. Combining money means you need to communicate about how it is put to use. I recommend using a money management site like Mint.com, which will categorize your expenses and give you both a realistic picture of which areas could be targeted to trim costs. Source: Getty 2 / 10 3 Find a Comfortable Balance What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If one of you earns significantly more, talk about it instead of skirting around the difference. Figure out a fair way to cover expenses like meals and rent that works for both of you. Many of the couples I know opt for a sort of sliding scale payment plan, where you pay what you can afford instead of splitting evenly or placing the financial burden on one partner. Source: Getty 3 / 10 4 Save Room For Your Love What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When you've gotten a handle on affording your everyday, expected expenses, begin to build up your savings in a high-interest savings account. Start putting some money toward an emergency fund and fit your monthly savings goals into your overall budget plan to avoid the excuse of not being able to afford to save. Source: Getty 4 / 10 5 Be Honest About Spending What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Be up front about your shopping and spending habits. You shouldn't have to hide your purchases, but establish some ground rules and be honest. If you go shopping every payday and hate that your significant other makes fun of you for it, tell him. You shouldn't criticize little purchases your partner makes either, as long as they aren't adversely affecting your money. Saving is a marathon, not a sprint. There should be some wiggle room. Source: Getty 6 / 10 6 Manage Money as a Couple What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you are married or deeply committed, open another account just for your fixed, non-negotiable expenses, and immediately transfer the money when you're paid. Set it up so the transfer happens automatically, and neither of you will be tempted to spend that money on other things. Source: Getty 6 / 10 7 Being Broke Ain't a Joke What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you run into a financial crisis and regularly share expenses with your partner, tell him or her immediately. If you are codependent, it's important your partner knows what to expect and how to support you. Together you can create a plan of action, whether it means one of you taking on additional expenses, cutting back on luxuries, or making a larger life change like downsizing to a smaller place or getting an additional job. Source: Getty 7 / 10 8 Discuss Credit Fears and History What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Many women worry about their boyfriend's credit and how it might affect their own credit if and when they tie the knot. In a nutshell, nothing happens to your credit when you get married. Your credit history is yours to keep, but it's important that you continue using the cards you already have in your name so that your credit history stays active. Your names will never appear on a credit report together — reports are generated for individuals only. However, if you and your husband open any joint accounts together, those will appear on both of your credit reports. While there is no such thing as "our credit score," your husband's credit could affect you (but not your credit score) because both of your scores are considered when you apply for joint accounts or a mortgage loan. You might be faced with higher interest rates on these joint finances than if you applied for them on your own. Source: Getty 8 / 10 9 Trim Expenses Together What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While being in a couple may mean you have a larger spending budget, challenge one another to trim unnecessary expenses together. Make major home or luxury purchases or travel decisions together and set an achievable goal, like a romantic weekend getaway, dream vacation, or buying a home, as an incentive savings goal. Source: Getty 9 / 10 10 Maintain Your Independence What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You may love your partner more than anyone on this earth, but you should always put yourself first. I suggest you maintain your savings as if you were single and insure you have a rainy day stash. You don't have to be secretive about your savings: let your partner know you would like to maintain your own savings and explain why.

In a recent column, Maureen Hayden was trying to make a case for abolishing the business property tax. In this column, one business owner gave an example of the unfairness of this tax by stating he pays sales tax on a piece of equipment when purchased, and then has to pay property tax on this same equipment every year.
My response is, so what? As a consumer, if I buy a new travel trailer I pay sales tax when the purchase is made, and hundreds of dollars in excise tax when I have to buy a license plate for that same travel trailer. Then I have to pay that excise tax every year when I buy that year's license plate. That is hard on the consumer, and is a big reason why many of us have not purchased a new travel trailer in years, in a state that has thousands of citizens who depend upon the sale of travel trailers to stay employed. That is also true for pickup trucks and cars that are built in Indiana.
In some states trailer plates are purchased once and are then good for the entire time that individual owns that trailer. I don't hear Ms. Hayden or Gov. Pence suggesting we change the way taxes are assessed on travel trailers to help job security for the workers in that industry. If business wants to be considered the same as us regular citizens when it comes to limits on political contributions, then business can pay taxes on property just like we do, every year.

UPDATE: Statement From Eastern Washington University On Death Of Student In Car Crash
CHENEY, Wash. - EWU student Adam O. Morales passed away early this morning in a single car accident in Cheney. The accident report information should be coming from the Cheney Police Department.
Adam was a 21-year old sophomore from Grandview, WA., majoring in Computer Information Systems. It is unfortunate to lose anyone from our close community, but it is particularly tragic with someone so young. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Adam's family and friends. The other two young men in the car were friends, but not EWU students. (our records do not show them ever attending here).
Counseling services are available for students by calling 359-2366 or by visiting the Counseling and Psychological Services Office in 225 Martin Hall.
CHENEY, Wash. - According to the Cheney Police Department, there was a car crash near Eastern Washington University in Cheney at 1:45am on Tuesday morning that killed one student.
Commander Campbell explained that the car, a Subaru, veered off the road at K Street near the intersection of W. 6th and rolled over into Sutton Park.
There were 3 people in the car, all Eastern students. One person was killed, the other two remain in the hospital and are expected to recover.
The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing and the identity of the passengers has yet to be released.

Ingle was excited after her crowning, taking time to hug and celebrate backstage with pageant organizers, contestants and family and said she was excited to be a part of the organization that sponsors the pageants.
"I feel like God is in the Miss Alabama Pageant and the Miss America Organization," Ingle said.
Ingle is the daughter of Glen and Deborah Ingle of Nauvoo.
She is a graduate of Lynn High School, earned an associate's degree at Bevill State Community College and is currently attending the University of North Alabama.
For her talent, she sang "How Could I Know" from "The Secret Garden."
Ingle will represent the county at the Miss Alabama pageant in Montgomery in June. She's no stranger to the state stage, she competed for the title as Miss Hamilton two years ago.
Her platform for the pageant will be Alzheimer's Awareness. Ingle said the issue is one close to her heart because her grandmother suffers from the disease and her great aunt died last year from it.
Ingle also competed for Miss Walker County in 2013, but finished second to Allison Farris.
"It wasn't my time to represent Walker County last year, but this is God's time, and I will do my best to glorify him with it," Ingle said after the crowning.
First runner-up was Jessica Cook, who also competed last year for the title. Cook also won the pageant's talent portion by playing guitar and singing a song she wrote. The wins netted her $1,400 in scholarship money.
The Pilot Club Past President/Leigh Sherer Scholarship Award was also awarded to Ingle. Ingle received $2,400 in total scholarship money.
The $300 Dorothy and Nelson Hudson Memorial Scholarship award was given to Sarah Neill. Neill and Abby Goodwin also received $400 scholarships each for competing in the pageant.

On April 4th at University of North Carolina-Pembroke, I will screen excerpts of my documentary COLORED CONFEDERATES and discuss Civil War memory and commemoration, as well as, overly-romanticized memories of the war. In addition, I will discuss how 'documentary-making' mirrors writing a research paper. Should be fun!

---- — PLATTSBURGH — The second time out for Clinton Community College softball was much better than the first.
The results, however, were the same.
The Cougars fell to 0-4 on the season with losses of 14-7 and 12-2 to Delhi Saturday in their home opener.
Clinton fell behind 4-1 in the fourth inning of the first game, but was able to score three runs in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game.
The fifth inning, though, the Broncos exploded for seven runs and the rest of the day got progressively worse for the Cougars.
"I think once we had that inning it was all downhill from there, unfortunately," Clinton coach Sami Stoughton said. "We started off very well, but we got down on ourselves after a few errors and it went on from there."
Alisha Ducatte had a superb game in game one with three hits, including a home run and a double. Emily Cutting chipped in with a pair of hits.
"(Alisha) had nice plays for us (Saturday)," Stoughton said. "She played a strong all-around game and her head was really in it.
"We hit the ball a lot better (Saturday)."
Breanne Hotaling led the way for Delhi with a home run and a double. Kayla Edge-Santos and Mariah Coville both finished with two hits.
Alexandria Forkey struck out five on her way to the victory. Christine Darrah suffered the loss for the Cougars.
In game two, the Broncos jumped on Clinton early with six runs in the second and five more in the third.
Hotaling was again hot from the plate with two hits, including a double. Forkey delivered a double.
Alyssa Rabideau and Meg Barber each had a double to lead the Cougars. Cutting and Alyssa Sullivan each finished with a single.
Erica McNulty picked up the win on the mound for Delhi with Andrea Le Vien suffering the loss.
Clinton will look for the elusive first victory when it takes on Herkimer in a doubleheader starting at 2 p.m. today.

You could argue that Vanderbilt almost didn't need the first two outs tonight. After all, the Commodores scored 10 of their runs with two men down — about five times as much as they eventually needed in a thumping of Oregon State in the first game of the Nashville Super Regional.
It was just part of what has been a pretty successful postseason for the SEC, which accounts for a quarter of the teams playing right now. Florida cruised past conference-mate Mississippi State in the first game of the Gainesville Super Regional on Friday, with South Carolina preparing to face Connecticut after sweeping through the Columbia Regional.
Oregon State starter Sam Gaviglio started off the evening by giving up four runs in the first inning — again, all with two outs — and the Beavers' pitching never really recovered. They issued eight walks and gave up two home runs as part of the 11-run Vanderbilt romp.
The Commodores' Sonny Gray, meanwhile, spun 6.2 innings of four-hit, one-run ball. Corey Williams held down the for for the last 2.1 frames, giving the rest of the bullpen critical rest with the Commodores only needing one more victory to head to Omaha.
So the first game ends exactly the way Vanderbilt would have liked it to and with Oregon State precisely where the Beavers didn't want to be — with their backs to the walls. Maybe in Game 2, the Commodores will agree to start each game with two outs.

LAKE WYLIE — School is out for summer, but activity is just heating up for one local group aimed at giving students a different kind of break.
Into its third year, Lake Wylie/Clover Mayday Project is looking to expand and include the York School District as well as Clover. The group is working with Winthrop University and York Technical College to provide opportunities for students post graduation. Theyre getting results that surprise even them. And, they feel, that may surprise a good many people in Lake Wylie.
Theres a lot of people that still, even though were going into our third year, they say what is Mayday? said board member Jay Moore. Thats our biggest challenge now.
Mayday began when several friends heard about, at the time, 42 homeless children in the Clover School District. By the time they could put a benefit together eight months later, there were 74.
Were just a bunch of people who got together and saw there was a problem, said board member R.J. Phillips.
Almost the entire group is its five board members. Theres no office. They meet monthly at Bagel Boat. The groups lone annual fundraiser is a golf tournament at River Hills Country Club, but its a sizable one. Last fall it netted $23,000.
To date the group has provided gas cards to transport children, gift cards for school supplies and clothes, food through the districts Pack the Back program and fieldtrip tours of Winthrop and York Tech. Three of the students enrolled at one of those schools after graduating from Clover High School.
Theyre smart, they just dont have the opportunities, Moore said.
Partnerships already are in place with the York County Childrens Attention Home, York Place, Tender Hearts, Shoes of Hope and Early Learning Partnership of York County. Work is just beginning to aid the summer remedial program in York, a partnership group members hope will grow into something like what theyve been doing in Clover.
We primarily focus on homeless kids, Phillips said. We started at Clover High School and weve branched out to York. That is our mindset, to help the kids get to where they can support themselves and be an asset to the community.
All while planning for the lone income source the group has, the fall tournament. Sponsor recruitment and retention is underway, and theres a call out for golfers. Members hope the club and sponsors will help get the word out and sell out the event for the third straight year.
When asked how to help, the group uses the latest figure for homeless students 96 this school year, per the Clover district and help finds its way to them
The number always comes up front, Moore said.
