Given the growing volume of workloads being done in the cloud, ranging from CRM to content sharing to social networking, it's no surprise that software development is moving there, too. The rise in mobile development is also boosting the cloud IDE phenomenon.
Services like Cloud9 IDE, Codenvy, Exadel Tiggzi, the beta Koding.com, and Telerik's Icenium are enticing developers to the cloud. They promise ease-of-use and collaboration capabilities, as well as universal access from anywhere and from multiple computers. "I can be anywhere with an Internet connection creating apps. It's convenient," says developer Cheston Contaoi, a user of Tiggzi and owner of Driveframe, which develops mobile applications.
[ What's driving corporate cloud use? Home cloud use. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter for more analyses of cloud computing. For more news on software development, subscribe to InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter. ]
"The benefit of developing this way is that you eliminate a lot of the failure rate," such as desktop configuration issues, says Codenvy CEO Tyler Jewell.
Why go to the cloud?
Mobile application development is a primary use for cloud-based development platforms. For example, Icenium and Tiggzi let developers create native apps for iOS and Android, using a core HTML app within the native app, and Codenvy lets developers create Web apps meant for use on mobile devices.
Developers using cloud-based tooling can partner with public cloud platforms to host their applications. Codenvy, for example, lets developers deploy their apps via Amazon Web Services, CloudBees, and Google App Engine.
Cloud-based development also offers a pay-as-you-go paradigm for tools usage. "For startups and small businesses, there is less capital expense, so pay-as-you-use is attractive," says Ovum analyst Michael Azoff. The use of pay-as-you-go development services can also reduce the costs of "shelfware," software that sits unused or rarely used after initial deployment, he says. "One large enterprise I heard about recently was paying an annual $500,000 in licensing for an ALM [application life cycle management] suite that it wasn't using except for one item, which was available for free in any case."
Uniting developers in the cloud
Cloud9 user Brian Pollack, who has his own software development firm (Brians.com), sees globally dispersed development as the key mover for cloud-based IDEs. Teams are not necessarily in one building anymore, he notes. "They're distributed all over the world."
Cloud development also has significant benefits for ramp-up and development times, says Cloud9 CEO Ruben Daniels. And companies can more easily monitor offshore teams, says Codenvy's Jewell. "In the cloud system, the code lives in the cloud, so the organization can track everyone who's had access to it."

Bills part ways with TE Shuler
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 27 2013 10:23AM
While the Buffalo Bills are getting ready to start training camp practices at St. John Fisher College on Sunday night, the team excavated yet another roster spot with the release of tight end Mickey Shuler.
Signed by the team in mid-May, the blocking-centric tight end struggled to assert himself in the off-season workouts and even sat out some practice time due to an injury. With Shuler's release, the Bills roster now resides at 86, with four open spots. That gives the Bills the flexibility to make a signing if they so choose.
Shuler faced an uphill battle at the tight end position as it was. With Scott Chandler nearing full health, it could be a simple case of not having enough repetitions to go around.
Since Dorin Dickerson switched to tight end during spring workouts, the Bills had six players at that position before the release of Shuler. Chandler, Dickerson, Lee Smith, Mike Caussin and rookie Chris Gragg all have legitimate hopes of making the roster this season. The same could not have been said for Shuler, hence the release on Saturday morning.
The Bills' first training camp practice is Sunday night at St. John Fisher College at 6 pm.

I would try to make the spreads and pages a bit more colorful. Some of the chapters that were more focused on the science behind certain forensic tests became more like a biology book- bland, colorless, and difficult to captivate readers.read more
The explanations and pictures in this book really helped when my classmates and I had to do our own forensic labs. Our professor was rather short-tongued so we learned the majority of the processes from the book.
This is very useful in understanding the functions of forensic science.read more
I would like to see more real-world scenarios and a more in-depth approach to how forensic science has contributed to law.
I learned different techniques to use when taking photographs.read more
It is mainly about the physical evidence collection and processing the evidence.
This book had a lot of useful information and I was able to use the same book for two of my classes (one was physical evidence and the other was biological evidence). Some of the techniques mentioned could be described in more detail, but other then that this text was very informative and useful.read more
Updated photographs would be nice. However, for books on this subject, this is common.
Really great book.... Helped me understand and identify deviant behavior..... Criminalistics gave me a brief over view of how crimes are handled, also explains several different techniques!read more
Nothing, the book gave excellent details!!!! I couldn't find any flaws or errors....

News: Odd Future Get Tossed Over Anti-Gay Controversy
Saturday, Nov 5, 2011 10:34AM
New Zealand Odd Future fans hoping to see the West Coast crew perform at the Big Day Out annual festival will have to hold out as they have reportedly been taken off the bill over anti-gay controversy.
Details on the promotor's decision to pull the plug on Odd Future hit the Internet this week.
The traveling festival -- which hits several cities in Australia and New Zealand in January -- was compelled to remove Odd Future after a local activist Calvin Bennachie, took his complaints to the Auckland City Council, which owns the venue, Mt. Smart Stadium, that Big Day Out uses to stage acts. (Entertainment Weekly)
Local activist Calum Bennachie has addressed the matter and held a firm stance against Odd Future.
"Lyrics such as those played by Odd Future increase the societal discourse against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, a discourse that encourages bullying and violence," said Bennachie. "By allowing Odd Future to play at Big Day Out, you are proving that you have little concern for the lives and welfare of LGBT people, that you are willing to endanger their lives, and seek to encourage stigmatisation against them. I find this disappointing in an organisation that could do so much to enhance the self-esteem of youth, reduce stigma, and discourage violence." (Billboard)
Despite the nixed OF set, the festival's promoter hopes to do a separate show for them.
However, promoter Ken West is still keen on staging a show with Odd Future and is working with the group to arrange a separate headlining concert. He says, "We are currently in discussions with Odd Future and will be announcing their own solo show for Auckland in the coming weeks." (Toronto Sun)
Odd Future leader Tyler, the Creator previously shared his input on anti-gay slurs.
"I'm not homophobic. I just think f*ggot hits and hurts people. It hits. And gay just means you're stupid. I don't know, we don't think about it, we're just kids. We don't think about that sh*t. But I don't hate gay people. I don't want anyone to think I'm homophobic. ([His friend] Jasper walks into the room) But he's a f*cking f*ggot!" (NME Magazine)

Those across the board federal spending cuts known as sequestration are taking a toll on all sorts of government agencies, but will they affect your tax refund check?
Tax preparers say no.
Although the start of tax season was pushed back because Congress didn't pass changes to the tax code until the first of the year, the budget cuts haven't hit the IRS yet and shouldn't affect how quickly Uncle Sam gets your refund out.
"As long as they're claiming who they're suppose to be claiming and not trying to take credits that they shouldn't be eligible to get, they should have nothing to worry about," said tax preparer Tatina Tucker.
There could be a delay on refunds for those who are claiming student tax credits due to a software mix-up that affected about 600,000 H & R Block customers.

Research interests:
Smith lab, led by biologist Dr. Doug Smith, involves over thirty graduate and undergraduate students investigating a variety of medically relevant problems. Students work with Smith and his collaborators over their career to become research scientists. This work goes beyond bench skill acquisition and involves critical thinking (hypothesis generation, data analysis) and persuasive writing (grant funding) as well as an introduction to the entrepreneurial side of biotechnology. Smith lab meets weekly to remain organized and discuss the latest experimental findings in the lab. Smith's goal is to have students get first hand experience of what their graduate program will be like before they get there. While it is important to note the driving forces of Smith lab, the projects that students investigate in Smith lab are what entices them to begin an extraordinary extracurricular journey.
One Smith lab project has led to the discovery of a new kind of immunological protection against bacterial infections. Currently, six students are involved in the experiments that will allow us to patent and market the active protein as a new kind of medication for infections caused by a subset of microorganisms known as Gram negative bacteria. The protein, annexin 1, can be used in conjunction with antibiotics and works similarly to protective molecules called antibodies.
A second exciting project in Smith lab is centered on developing new treatments for chronic urinary tract infections in women. Experiments in the laboratory have identified a molecule made by men that prevents the invading bacteria from adhering to cells that line the bladder. Using an artificial model of the bladder, students are working to purify and identify this molecule for use in treating these very common persistent infections and ultimately eliminate their recurrence.
Smith lab also collaborates with a number of other laboratories to tackle medical and environmental problems. Students on two projects involving the collaboration of fellow biologist Dr. Bill Barnes are investigating other forms of bacterial adherence that lead to undesirable ends. These researchers are examining the conditions that optimize the building of bacterial communities on teeth that produce dental cavities and on contact lenses that cause eye infections. The goal of these studies is to find new ways to prevent these bacteria from adhering to teeth and contact lenses.
In collaboration with fellow biologist Dr. Kate Eggleton, students are studying the mechanism for how deadly human viruses like HIV and Epstein-Barr infect and instruct our cells to commit suicide. To do this, students use a virus known as Blue Tongue Virus (BTV). Students are able to work with BTV because it infects sheep and other ruminants (not people). What makes this virus useful is that BTV kills cultured monkey kidney cells the same way the other viruses kill cells, by inducing them to die prematurely from within. By studying the way BTV exerts its activity, students are helping to uncover how these deadly human viruses can be stopped.
In addition to the projects centered on Smith's expertise in infection and immunity, students also are investigating the use of autologous adult stem cells as medical treatments. Smith lab is working with Dr. Larry Bering from the Chemistry department and local dentist Dr. Jim Rutkowski to find ways to accelerate replacement of bone tissue in the jaw for dental implants. To do this, students have tested a variety of chemical signals that induce adult human mesenchymal stem cells to become osteoblasts, cells that form bone, more quickly. In collaboration with Dr. Bill Barnes, several students are also attempting to identify ways to grow large numbers of adult hematopoietic stem cells outside the body for use in autologous bone marrow replacement therapy for a variety of diseases including leukemia.
Smith lab collaborates with local businesses and national networks as well. In a partnership with Lee Stewart, owner and operator of Stewart Laboratories in Corsica, PA, students are investigating ways to develop new biofuels using CO2 emissions, human septage, and algae. Researchers are also tracking the spread of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria in our local Clarion River watershed by creating DNA fingerprints of the organisms to set up a national database much like PulseNet, a database maintained by the Centers for Disease Control, that monitors the spread of infectious microorganisms. This work is also performed in collaboration with Dr. Bill Barnes.

It's about friggin' time, too. For a stretch there, I thought Soilwork were done for, caught up in the mediocrity and mundanity of 75% of today's metal. With "Stabbing the Drama," these guys bring back the Soilwork of the beginning, when they were still creative and interesting. But, you have to cut them some slack. Afterall, Soilwork are in a sub-genre of metal where its probably most difficult to succeed or stand out. This album is full of plenty of consistantly cool riffs, throat-wrenching vocals, and provocative drumming. Even though there is a lot to say that is positive about this disc, for me, there is just a little too much filler. Tracks such as "One with the Flies" and "Fate in Motion" don't have anything about them that stands out. Sometimes I even find myself not listening to them at all. Notwithstanding, here are the classic favorites :
1. Stabbing The Drama – "Im waiting, for something to show my punshiment, for being down so low," sings the chorus of the attention-grabbing title track.
5. Nerve – I like the intro, where the riff follows the unique double-kick pattern. Another song where the chorus shines.
6. Stalemate – Boy, do the riffs pull this song together, here. Aside from my favorite track, "Blind Eye Halo," this is the heaviest onslaught of the CD.
7. Distance – Wait, maybe this song has the best chorus, I'm not sure. Even though I love it, this song becomes a tad repetitive upon its ending.
10. Blind Eye Halo – Absolutely punishing. It will pick you up and throw you down the stairs. The best drumming and guitar solos on the disc, in my opinion. Blown away by this track.
If you're a metal fan, you should probably check this out, because it is rather entertaining. However, make sure you don't put it at the top of your list, for you may be disappointed. Thank you for your time.

· QR Codes on Business Cards
Hi everyone,
I'm currently designing my business cards and was wondering what the popular view was on QR codes. I know they're slightly gimmicky, yet they're purposeful in a way.
What do you guys think about them on business cards? Anyone include them?

· QR Codes on Business Cards
Currently working on a card design ... premature thought, but I think I'd be more inclined to use it (larger) on the back of the card than the front (smaller/none), Depending on style of card, "four corners" could be interesting for graphic appeal, etc.
Also, likely would depend on your target market as to whether it would come across techno-savvy or unnecessarily gimmicky. Some would find it "way cool" ... but given the intent of the business card to serve as a calling card to facilitate remembrance/reference info, it leaves me to wonder it's lasting value.
If you've got the QR Code ... how are people going to use it, i.e. only with a reader. The QR code isn't something they can "remember" and use when they are away from their reader (or wherever they may have stored the code). I get that people are "attached" to their smart phones these days and wouldn't even consider taking their first morning's breathe of life without consulting it first. But, given the choice between using the (front) real estate for making an impression into their eye/brain/memory or having the QR code available for them to scan ... I'd likely opt against the QR code on the front.
But, that's just my "old school" thinking that I want to make an impression into their mind ... more so than their gizmo (but if they can't function without their gizmo).
There is a saying "Keep the main thing ... the main thing." Is the QR code stealing thunder from the main thing (diverting attention / stealing real estate) ... or is it adding convenience (really) and "techno-savvy" impression (really) that is going to help achieve the purpose you have for your card. There is only so much that the card can achieve ... is the QR code compromising the other aspects of the card?
To me, there is a certain amount of "depersonalization" that a QR code infers. Kinda contradictory (imo) if the card is part of the effort to aid them remembering you. If it is merely a lazy/convenience/cool tool/toy to let them avoid thinking/typing your website name, and that's what you want them to remember of you ... that you're "up with the times" and "techno-savvy" ... well, that again goes back to your target market and intent/purpose/expectation of your card, imo.
Personally ... I'm me ... not a number, not a gizmo graphic. If you can't put forth the effort to remember/type my name, than I must be of very little value to you. That, or I'm just something for you to "toy" with. Is that "bad on me" or "bad on you" ... debatable, but doesn't really matter ... it is "bad" in either case, imo.
Old school ... my .02.
Ooops, my bad ... you asked for the "popular view".
BTW ... here's a link to an image that I saw, just moments before reading this post. Take a look and think about your initial impression of the use of the code.

That's some great insight and valuable opinion, RustyBug. Thanks for your 2 cents =)
I was actually thinking of having the code create a vCard so they'll automatically add me into their address book.
But I guess I'm gonna go against QR codes. You made some great points!

I would say that QR codes have not taken off like other products. I do see them in a few magazines so maybe I am just not keeping up. I do think listing that it will add the card contact details to their address book is a great idea. That would be useful.

Being NOT tech savvy @ such things ... the auto add to the address book sounds of value, because that then puts it into the realm of "normal" usefulness (expediently @ service to them). I'd still be inclined to put it on the back and just bring it to their attention that IF they have QR reading capability, you've gone the extra mile to simplify the contact info upload process for them.
That makes some sense as being service oriented to others, i.e. almost always inherent value there. My initial take was trendy/techno-cool, ... "Look at me, I'm so cool I've got a QR Code" ... which I obviously didn't put a lot of stock in.
But I'm a "chisel & stone" ... er, a bit behind on some techno issues.
GL, sounds interesting @ Vcard application.

To the few who understand the QR it'll be useful, to others like RB it won't make a difference.
The concept of "Look at me, I'm so cool I've got a QR Code" reminds me of my sister who STILL thinks people who use cell phones are trying to impress those around them...to be honest most people don;t give a hoot what others do.
So IMO it's a plus to the early adaptors.

imo ...
QR Codes (in general) are still in "early adopter" stage. QR codes on business cards would be in the innovation stage. I would expect that far less than 1% have incorporated QR codes on business cards at this stage of the game. You are surely in the innovative realm of the curve.
Maybe you should start a "Show your business card" thread, similar to the "show your website" thread.
See "early adopter curve" @ google / google images or wiki

The only issue with the vCard is that there is so much info, that the QR code would be pretty large and the smartphone would need to have a good camera.
Anyways, you guys made some really interesting points. Especially like the info on the early adopter curve. I feel more comfortable using it in my business card now. I'll make two mock up versions, one with and one without and go from there.
Thanks a lot, guys!
btw, didn't we already have a thread for business cards...? I'll have to go search.

· QR Codes on Business Cards
As a former graphic designer, my two cents is that a business card needs to tell an immediate story, on a limited canvas.
The QR codes are rather large, and the important information on your card, contact info, especially, will suffer size limitations--if you stay within the standard business card dimensions, that is.
I would stay within the standard size as too small a card tends to get lost, and too large a card tends to get tossed.
Also, QR codes aren't as popular as they were projected to be just yet, even with well established brands that have consumer loyalty.
I just don't see adding something that isn't in demand to such a small space, as in a business card.

· QR Codes on Business Cards
In addition to the good points already mentioned I would also add that I think QR codes are most useful for mining information about a subject when you are "on the go". For instance ... here in Washington DC they are over billboard ads in the subway. People who want to learn about a product or service can quickly scan the QR code and move on, then use their QR software to learn more later. A business card does not really serve the type of audience. Most of the information they need to know about you is in their pocket or on your website.
So I see the QR code as more of a gimmick, but it could have some intrinsic value, like showing your potential clients that you are technologically savvy. On the other hand, it could backfire for potential clients who think it's useless or silly or a misuse of the technology.

I have a QR code on mine that links to my website. I mostly shoot models and when I finish a shoot with one, I find my website traffic goes up over the next few days due to the model showing my card to her friends. I've gotten more requests to shoot since doing this.

· QR Codes on Business Cards
Not to dismiss the value of the QR Code per se ... but is the increase in traffic because of the business card design and the web address on the card, or the word of mouth from the model (i.e. satisfied client), or the QR code?
Since all three (assuming you also have your web address on the card), co-exist it becomes difficult to discern and attribute the cause / effect relationship for the increase in traffic to the inclusion of a QR code on your card, more than the others.
Potential litmus test to consider asking yourself:
If you were forced to choose between putting ONLY your web address on your business card ... or ... ONLY a QR Code on your business card, which would you choose?
For me, the answer is very clear ... which suggests primary significance vs. supplemental augmentation of marginal consideration.

joshim- I'm not sure if this way would work for weddings as most brides are going to research the photographer more thoroughly and would remember the photographer's name. Maybe a QR code on a promo card at a bridal show would work as the perspective brides would have seen many vendor booths. Having a QR code on a promo card would spark their memory. Just tossing out ideas.
Rusty- good thought for discussion. I think for me because I photograph models in their early 20's, they are very smart phone oriented so when they meet up with their friends and they have my card they can quickly show examples of my work. I'm only a weekend warrior that shoots a lot of TF and most of the photo shoots I do come from referrals from models or Model Mayhem. I do notice that when I hand them a card after a shoot, they'll scan the card to see the website. That's when I tell them I'll have an image of them on the site within a few days. Keeps them excited to check back.

· QR Codes on Business Cards
That's pretty close to what I would have guessed. As a father of five in the 19-27 demographic, I'm a little bit familiar with that target market also.
It has been my experience (in my miniscule corner of the world) that those individuals who are business oriented (i.e. paying you for your work) aren't nearly so enamored from the technological aspects as those who aren't "footing the bill" themselves. Does the technological element of a QR code, "strike a chord" / appeal to your target market (back to my first comment) of young girls @ TF ... I am fairly confident that it does.
But, I'm inclined to think that the "carrot & stick"
that you have dangling in front of them with anticipation is more viably responsible for your traffic increase ... that combined with the "I gotta get my friends to see my pics" aspect of human nature that typically follows. I think your traffic would see this spike even if they had to wait while you carved your website name on a rock with a chisel to give to them.
Will a potential commercial client be as enamored by a QR code and the expediency it can provide ... I'm thinking, not nearly as much (but I could be way off here), which of course takes us back to "target market".
I'm actually kinda diggin' your experience / utilization (would like to see your card), and the discussion is prompting my own consideration (relative to my target market). Likely, if I were shooting seniors or young MM model types again ... I might feel rather different, recognizing that they can be somewhat tech-enamored.
My utilization of a QR code will likely remain relegated to my perspective that the front real estate is in line with John's comments above. A QR code (not strongly considered before this thread) could find its way on the back though.
But, where I see value (for me) with a QR code would be as part of the signage on my vehicle. Without me there to hand out a card, and passerby's typically not "pen & paper" oriented, as well as the fact that they likely have something else on their mind that will render their memory unreliable (correct name spelling, etc.) ... they can just pop the QR code with the smart phone for later ... that is something that I might have to give more credence to. (iaw Scott's "on the go" perspective)
Hmmm, park the vehicle by the high school at lunchtime with a QR code on it. If I were shooting seniors, it could be like moths to a flame.
Did I mention "target market".

I have just designed my new business cards and they do have a QR code in the back along with traditional information.
The QR has a great advantage because can be scanned from a phone and be saved as contact with everything in it.
It's common for people to take your business card and then forget it, if they save your data in their phone, tablet etc is another possibility they will keep your contact with them.
The QR does have everything you need, vCard data, website, facebook and everything else, and with you simple scan fromyour phone you can send an email, navigate the website or set a facebook like in one go.
For me it's a great thing, considering also the other marketing strategies you can apply, like car stickers, or merchandising.
I also put it on my prints now, in the back, with custom stickers.
To be honest we are at a point where typing something is old, everything is automated. For me the QR is no brainer, I can see them everywhere now, they are growing up very much.
It doesn't need to be as big, anyway and there is space to put your written data with a good design.
I have a full card picture in the front and the QR with some info in the back.

I suggest you also check Olocode (
) an alternative to QR code for contact management that does not require scanning with a camera phone nor an app to be downloaded.
Olocode takes minimal space on business cards and includes full contact details and your picture, while QR codes contain less than a tweet, hardly your full contact details and surely not a photo.
Imagine - as the user now has your picture in their contact book, whenever they look for you, call you or receive your call your smile will fill their screen!
Olocode can also be added to email signatures, scribble on a palm or piece of paper or spelled on the phone. It works on smartphones, PCs, Macs and tablets with no software to download and keeps people updated if your contact details change.

If the QR code looks too techno-savvy it can always be designed. You will just have to use QR code with highest error correction. Its a bit bigger then but you can actually replace as much as 30% of the code with your own design and it will still work. A bit more about what can be done can be read for example

Pineapple whip $3 — After hearing rave reviews from, well, everybody, I had to try the homemade pineapple whip from S&S concessions.
Don't let the name fool you — it's just pineapple ice cream served in a cone or a bowl.
And it was the best pineapple ice cream I've ever had. I'm not one for pineapples, I actually hate them. It's a texture thing. But, this was perfect.
My mouth couldn't decide if it was tangy or sweet, but it's the most delicious confusion I've ever had.

ROCKINGHAM — Eighty-five minutes of nearly ideal road baseball Saturday night earned Fuquay-Varina the state championship series berth it has sought for the last 12 months. The Bengals roared by Richmond County 12-0 in five innings to take the deciding third game of the 4A eastern regional championship series.
Junior right-hander Jordan Bissette held the Raiders to three hits, while the Bengals played error-free defense and took advantage of every opportunity Richmond County gave them before a crowd of about 500.
"I'm really proud of the guys, because this is the culmination of a complete year's work to get here," said Fuquay-Varina skipper Milton Senter. "From the summer league work to the off-season workouts through the season, it takes a lot of work.
"I'm really happy for them; these seniors to get (to a state championship series) this year."
The Bengals (26-4) won the 2002 state title under Senter and their win puts a Tri-Nine Conference team into the state championship for a third straight year. League members Holly Springs and Middle Creek have won the last two NCHSAA 4A state titles.
On Saturday night against Richmond and ace lefty Nic Bullard, Fuquay-Varina took advantage of breaks to score its first two runs. In the first, Garrett Suggs reached on a dropped third strike, moved around to third on a botched pick off attempt and came home on Lucas Scott's sacrifice fly.
Two innings later, a walk to Bissette and another awry pick off throw set up senior Joe Williams' RBI double. Williams, making a spot start at designated hitter and batting ninth for the Bengals, doubled twice.
Williams, D.J. Burt and Brett Daniels had two hits each and were the only Bengals to register hits. But every player in the Fuquay-Varina lineup scored.
Fuquay-Varina added three more runs with two outs in the third with Daniels doubling in two runs and later scoring on a Raider error for a 5-0 advantage.
"It helped to have been down here before so we knew what we were coming into," Senter said of playing at Richmond County. "We got our confidence back with the win last night, took advantage of some breaks early to get runs.
"And Jordan Bissette did exactly what we needed him to do on the mound."
Bissette struck out just three batters and issued two walks, but he took advantage of a defense on top of its game and seemingly always in the right place to make a play.
"I really located my off-speed pitches well and was able to hit my spots with the fastball too," Bissette said. "I was able to get them to roll over on the fastball a lot."
Fuquay-Varina blew the game open in the fifth with Burt doubling and Daniels singling before a string of Richmond errors and bases on balls – two that forced in runs – led to a seven-run Bengal output and a 12-0 advantage.
Burt had two hits in the fifth. His single off the glove of a Richmond infielder pushed two runs across and the lead to 11-0. A wild pitch scored the final Bengal run of the night.
"It's a big relief to get here," Bissette said of going to the state championship series. "Fuquay hasn't been there since 2002. Coming into the season, we knew we had a lot of potential."
Fuquay-Varina will face South Mecklenburg (25-7), which topped Asheville T.C. Roberson 6-5 in Game 3 of the western regional finals Saturday.
Richmond County, which reeled off a school record 28 straight wins before Friday night's Game 2 loss to Fuquay-Varina, finishes the season at 28-3.

I was reluctant to get flannel sheets for fear that they would be too hot. But my wife convinced me and I'm glad she did. These sheets are: 1) perfect for cold weather - they don't have that chill-factor when you first climb into bed and they warm up in an instant 2) super comfortable - they don't get too hot and they are very soft 3) definitely deep-pocket - other sheets that claim to be deep pocket...but these could clear 20inches easy. our mattress and topper is about 15 inches, so those sheets have plenty of room...no sheet clamps needed! Would definitely buy again!
These flannel sheets are excellent!! They laundry well - no balling up - and hugs the mattress when fitted. Being flannel the bedspread does not slide around like normal cotton sheets. Last but not least - they feel so warm when you snuggle in between them on a chilly night!
These are very soft and with the 16" fit nicely. I find that they are a great addition for cool winter evenings.
when I opened the sheet set I was surprised to see just how deep the pockets were and how the sheets hung over the sides of the mattress. When I have bought other Calfifornia King sheet sets they just don't match up to this Sheet set. I'm very pleased with the set and would tell you to make a purchase of these sheets cause it's worth the money.
These sheets are very warm and cozy. Deep Pockets are what I was looking for, so that is definitely a plus. The only complaint is the color. I ordered the green which looks more like a mint green in the photo. It is actually more like a split pea soup green. Yuck! But, keeping the sheets.
I have had these sheets for over a year now and have washed them many times. I still can't get them to stop shedding fuzzy stuff everywhere. They are super soft. But your floor & bed will look like someone shaved a sheep. This happens evrytime you pull them out too use. Waste of money : {
Color is deep and rich, has not faded with washings. Soft comfortable sheet set.
Such comfy set. The sheets are plush and warm, great for the winter time. The light blue color is really pretty. Overall a nice, soft, cozy set for when it gets chilly.
When the sheets arrived they seemed fine. lots of lint in the 1st wash as expected, however i did not expect the seams to pull apart. It seems (no pun intended) that there was not enough seam allowance, and the sheets are unraveling at the seams. I dont think they will make it through too many washes.
Very satisfied with the product quality and price paid. Order delivery 1 day early. This was my first purchase on Overstock.com. This is an excellent site. Great service.

Town Square
Police outside house on Alma near Churchill with guns drawn ???

Sounds like a burglary in progress was reported, and the cops showed up hoping to catch the guy in the act.
on Feb 11, 2013 at 9:55 am
"Sounds like a burglary ..,", how ? You have good ears I guess.
There were a lot of officers with guns drawn, one had a rifle standing behind trees, all looking intently from outside the house which was several houses south from the Alma/Churchill intersection. I don't know what it was but I was stopped at the red light right outside of it and I was hoping a gunfight did not break out. I did not read anything on the news about this yet so I hope it was nothing as major as it looked.
on Feb 11, 2013 at 10:29 am
Cops aren't going to swarm an area with guns drawn unless they have a report of an armed suspect in the area. If it was an armed robbery, there should have been a press release by now. If it was a domestic violence situation, then maybe no press release.

Well its good to know they are doing their job. The glass panel closest to my door-knob on my old farm-style door broke when my key got stuck & broke in the knob. My partner left me alone and took our car later in the day to go get another door. 20 or so minutes later, while on the phone with my partner, my dogs start barking and run to the door. I ask my partner if it is her at the door and she says no. I walk towards the door and next thing I know I see a gloved hand reach through the broken panel and my dog jumped up and bit his wrist and he yells out. I yell Im calling the cops and I hear a car drive away. My phone blocked my 911 call so I called non-emergency to tell them what happened and for the cops to come out. The lady on the phone explained that since the window was already broken they did no damage and I was lucky because animal control could get called on my dog for biting someone. It wasnt really the police officers who let me down as much as their administration. I understand no damage was done but I eel with all the break ins it would behoove them to at least take a report.

The ship is in pretty good condition for doing this 2 times a week.
The Cruise Director was one of the better ones we've had. Very personable.
We went cheaply on this so we got an inside cabin. I slept the best I ever have on my 40+ cruises. The bed was very comfortable. Only thing I didn't like in the cabin was that there was no refrigerator. So we had to make to with the ice bucket for our wine we brought onboard. Our room steward Leo was great.
The best thing Carnival has done is put in the "Punchliner" showroom. The comedians they have had have been great. The family shows have been very funny and the "adult" shows have been hilarious.
The only complaint I have on the cruise was our dining room waiter and assistant seemed to want to rush us out of the room each night. It was probably the worst of our past cruises. Didn't like them putting down the entree while we were still on the salad course.
Disembarkation was a hassle though. There was no crew member organizing the line for getting off. So people were cutting, making unhappy disembarkers.

2.01/5 rDev -34.5%
Poor food, poor service (and ill-informed), strange crowds and worst of all odd tasting beers (on tap). For the pretentious beer prices, this place does not hold up it's end and seems to be run for the money not for the true drinker. I'd much rather go to a local bar without the fancy beer to receive good service for the mainstream beer and food.

Inviting, comfortable, and inviting joint in the Throgsneck section of the Bronx, just down the block from Skibbo's bottle shop and growler filling station. Doesnt look like much from the outside, but upon entering the bar is to the left as you enter, with large TV's with the game on. Friendly folks behind the bar and waiting the tables, southern food, BBQ, and tasty bar bites, about 20 quality brews on tap, Beermenus.com in frequently updated for the details, I enjoyed a nice pint of Nebraska Cardinal PA, that was in fine shape.
The highlights here are the large outdoor deck area in use during the warm months, tasty food options and the quality craft beer choices. A beacon of good beer options in the Bronx, an area which gravely needs a few more.

Cruz Azul scored three goals in a 16-minute span to open up a 5-0 aggregate score lead and held on for a 5-1 victory over Santos Laguna in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. They will now move on to the CCL semifinals for the third straight year where they will face the winner of Monterrey and Toluca. Monterrey currently leads 1-0 as the quarterfinal moves to their home for Wednesday's second leg.
Despite the convincing victory, Cruz Azul did not look like the better team for long stretches of the second leg. Santos Laguna dominated possession and had most of the early chances, but Cruz Azul picked up a crucial early goal when Emanuel Villa scored on a counter-strike in the 37th minute. Cruz Azul then opened the second half with a pair of goals at 51' and 53', both of which Villa had a hand in. Villa had the assist on the second goal, setting up Christian Giménez, and followed that up with his ninth goal of the tournament two minutes later. As it turned out, three of Cruz Azul's on-target shots went for goals.
One bad piece of news for Cruz Azul came in the 57th minute when Giménez picked up his second yellow card. Giménez has been one of Cruz Azul's leading scorers over the past year and they will be without his services for the first leg of the semifinal.
