EAST FLAT ROCK — The East Henderson Eagles bounced right back after Tuesday's loss to Asheville with a commanding 13-3 mercy rule win over Franklin at home to remain atop the WNC Athletic Conference with an unblemished 5-0 conference record.
Thomas Waddell (3-0), who is currently on a seven-hit streak in two games, took the win for the Eagles and in four innings he gave up three runs on four hits and three walks, and had four strikeouts. He also went 2-for-2 with a walk and scored three runs.
"This was good for us. We got back to doing what we do best. We've been hitting the ball well but just not getting the timely hits we've needed. (Wednesday) we got those timely hits," said East coach Jeff Frady.
The Eagles (9-2) started off with a five-run first inning behind Waddell as the leadoff batter up against Franklin pitcher Tanner Gerber, who took the loss. It was the third straight loss by mercy rule for the Panthers, who fell to 5-6 overall and 1-4 in conference.
Waddell got things going again for the Eagles in the bottom of the second when he was walked, then stole second and then third on a Franklin error during Seth Owen's at-bat. Owen (3-for-3, three runs scored, two RBIs) then sent a line drive out to centerfield, dropping in Waddell for the 6-0 lead with just one out.
Jonathan Maybin (2-for-2, three runs scored, two doubles, two RBIs), Avery Sneed (1-for-1, run scored, four RBIs) and Jordan Parille (1-for-2, two RBIs) each doubled in the second inning which pushed East's lead to 10-0.
"Thomas is always a kid that warms up with the weather," Frady said.
Waddell faced just five batters in the top of the third before the Eagles returned to offense again. He got things going again in the third for the Eagles with a grounder to left field, followed again by back-to-back doubles by Owen and Maybin and a 12-0 lead.
Zack Oberlies (2-for-2, two runs scored, three RBIs) snapped a grounder to left field that sent Andrew Case (1-for-2, walk, run scored) home for what would be the Eagles' final score, at 13-0.
Frady started putting in substitutes both in the batting lineup and in the outfield for the fourth and fifth innings, and Franklin pulled out three runs in the top of the fourth, two of which were on East errors, for the 13-3 score.
The Eagles's three quick outs in the fourth put Owen on the mound to relieve Waddell and try to keep the Panthers from scoring. Owen did just that as he struck out two of the four batters he faced to end the game in a mercy rule.
"I remind them every day that they've got 'X' amount of games left, since most of them are seniors," Frady said. "It's been fun having an experienced group this season. Our seniors do most of the coaching; they go out and work hard every day."
East will have perhaps its biggest game yet Friday as it hosts Tuscola, currently the No. 2 team in the conference with just one WNCAC loss. The Eagles lost to the Mountaineers twice last year in close games.
"We're excited about it," Frady said. "We'll probably have Zack Oberlies up on the hill for us, and he's been pitching really well for us this season. I'm sure they'll have Rob Howard pitching for them. These guys know that it's not about getting hits every time they're at bat; it's about moving people."
Game time is set for 6:30 p.m. Friday at East.

Disclosure Policy
The majority of the content on my website is free. However, this is also a business and I do make money here. This can be a bit of a problem if handled poorly. You know what I mean. Sometimes websites have ads everywhere! You cannot even highlight text without an advertisement popping up! This led me to spend time thinking about how I want to make money through this blog while staying true to you.
There are thousands of opportunities for bloggers like me. Some are great and some are downright horrible. To counter any temptation greed may send my way, I have created this disclosure policy. This keeps me honest and keeps me in line with FTC Regulations for blog advertising. My goal is always to be transparent with how I make money on this site. I would rather make ten dollars getting you something you need than ten million ripping you off. At the end of the day, this whole site is for you.
What you will see.
Free Stuff. As this blog grows (thanks to you) I will likely be given free stuff. I am not sure what this will be, but people like to giver bloggers free stuff in the hopes that we will talk favorably about it. I will always let you know if I am reviewing something that was given to me for free. Also, if there is ever a stipulation that I speak favorably about an item I will turn it down. I am not here to get free stuff; I am here to show you how to put your life together. The added bonus of free stuff is (if it's cool) I can give it away in a contest!
Affiliates. There are hundreds of organizations on the web with resources helpful to you. These include everything from individual bloggers to massive organizations like Amazon. They offer things like books, movies, seminars, and so much more. To achieve your goals and change your perspective you are going to need more than what I alone can give you. To do this I am teaming up with organizations I agree with by becoming an affiliate. When you purchase something from them I get a percentage of the sale. The beauty of affiliate programs is I have complete control of who I endorse. There will be things on the site I endorse without any sort of monetary kick-back, but some of the items I promote will make me money.
My current affiliates are:
E-books. Periodically I come out with an e-book. E-books are, as the name suggests, electronic books. Some of these e-books are free but others cost a small fee. These are an additional resource to my blog. Many times they will be a more in-depth look at a subject I have already covered but sometimes they will be completely new content. E-book prices vary wildly across the web and I promise to keep my books reasonably priced.
Physical items. When I find an item (like a book or software) that I believe will be beneficial to you I will include it on my site. I can do this through a variety of means but the most common one will be to purchase a certain number of the product and personally ship them to you. These books will always be a supplement to the information you get on my website. I am constantly on the search for a deal and will work hard to get you these products at the best possible price.
Direct Advertisements (sidebar). Eventually I will offer advertising in the sidebar. This will be a section clearly marked. All advertisers will be approved by me and will be given the scrutiny they deserve. As with my other advertising streams, I will only allow for products and organizations that I believe will help you.
Direct advertisements (blog posts). From time to time I may choose to directly advertise for a business. This may be a website, a seminar, or something else. When I do this, I will make it known to you that I am being paid for the endorsement. However, I will never endorse anything I do not personally agree with. If I wouldn't tell you about a product without the money I won't tell you about it when I am getting paid.
What are you safe from?
Google Adsense. Although the most common way bloggers monetize, it is also one of the worst. Why? It gives me no control over the kinds of advertisements visitors see. That isn't too big of a deal except that most of Google's ads go to lead generation sites that gather email data and litter inboxes with all sorts of garbage. Also, competitors can check out my site and purchase keywords from my pages to create Google AdSense advertisements that will show up on my site! Do you know that the company Google AdSense is sending your users to is legitimate? And even if it is, are you sure it is something that is helping those users? If you do, that is cool, however, I do not and so I won't be using Google AdSense.
(Full Disclosure: When I first started the blog I signed up for Google AdSense. I was rejected because I had no content. I could easily be approved for the program now but for the above mentioned reasons I have not reapplied.)
You will never have your email sold to third parties. This is a big one. With my (upcoming) newsletter and open-email policy it would be easy for me to sell emails to third parties. The more I have the more profitable it is. But the people who buy up email addresses are scum. Any information you give me will be safe. I will never sell your email to third parties.
You will never see an advertisement I do not personally agree with. If I would not offer it to my family, I will not offer it to you. You are not just readers of my blog, you are also my friends. I mean it when I say I want to see you achieve your goals. If I endorse something I do not agree with I am failing us both and breaking the trust you deserve.
As I said at the beginning, the majority of my content is free. If you never buy a single thing from me you are just as welcome as those who purchase everything I sell. If you have any questions or comments let me know at my contact page.

After spending much of the first 30 minutes of play walking the ball around and feeling each other out, things sprung to life in the final 15 minutes of the first half between Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund. Roman Weidenfeller was forced into multiple saves, but it was Dortmund who had the best chance of the half, with a İlkay Gündoğan shot that hit the crossbar.
Despite all of the chances near the end, it's 0-0 at Eastlands through 45 minutes of play. Joe Hart was called into action late as well, and matched Weidenfeller with a couple of brilliant saves of his own. As shaky as both defenses looked, both goalkeepers were incredibly sharp.
David Silva sparked life into the match in the 34th minute with a shot that was saved by Weidenfeller. It looked like that might have been a bit of a wake-up call for the visitors, and Gündoğan's shot came a couple of minutes after that. Both keepers had to make one more save apiece before the end of the half. As good as Hart and Weidenfeller are, it seems unlikely that this match will stay scoreless. It's turned pretty open, and there's a lot of attacking talent on the pitch that looks sharp.

Join us for Miami's first annual Study Abroad Week: September 26-30, 2011.
All week, students will have the opportunity to explore worldwide study programs, meet with advisors, talk to returned study abroad students, and attend various globally-themed workshops/events across campus. Look on the Study Abroad Week Calendar for a list of events for each day.
The annual Study Abroad Fair will be held on Wednesday, September 28 from 11:00-4pm in the Shriver Multipurpose Room. We'll have representation from MUDEC (Luxembourg), professors who run faculty-led programs and many third-party providers. Also, Study Abroad Alumni who recently returned, will be available to answer questions and talk about their program. If you'd like to browse your options, pick up materials about different programs or ask questions about a specific study abroad opportunity, this is your opportunity to do it!
Help us spread the word about the fair by RSVPing or sharing our Facebook event!
It is never too early to prepare for your study abroad experience, below are ways to learn more about programs and opportunities abroad through Miami University.
Whether you're a new first-year student looking for ways to connect to the Miami community, or sophomore, junior or senior trying to find ways to prepare for an upcoming study abroad experience, or a returning Study Abroad Alum, we have plenty of activities! Give them a try!
Many students who want to study abroad or learn about other cultures live in Clawson (pictured) or Thomson Halls.
This is the season when sophomores, juniors and seniors students start thinking about signing leases for the next school year. If you're thinking about studying abroad, though, you may want to think twice before you put pen to paper. Many students who come to our office feel they have to settle for a short-term summer program because they'd really prefer to do a semester program, but they've already signed a full-year lease. Don't let this happen to you!
Here are some ideas:
Don't miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime experience just because you signed a lease. Think ahead!
The applications for the Spring 2012 Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship for undergraduate students who are Pell Grant eligible are now available at https://gilmanapplication.iie.org/. The program aims to diversify the kinds of students who study abroad and the countries and regions where they go by supporting undergraduates who might otherwise not participate due to financial constraints. Students are encouraged to choose non-traditional study abroad destinations, especially those outside of Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship provides over 2,300 awards of up to $5,000; award amount depends on the length of study and student need. Students who receive the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship are then eligible to receive an additional $3,000 Critical Need Language Supplement.
Please contact Miami's Gilman Scholarship advisor, Dr. David Keitges, with any questions.
Miami students in Miami's Outdoor Leadership New Zealand Program at Nelson Lakes National Park and Fox Glacier

Looking for a new country to explore that offers a wide variety of outdoor activities, cultural experiences, and educational opportunities? If so, New Zealand may be worth investigating. New Zealand is a country of mountainous islands, beautiful beaches, and interesting land formations, including over 50 volcanoes, some of which are still active. There are two main islands that make up the country: the North and South Islands. Due to a unique climate system, New Zealand is home to an extensive variety of plant and animal species.
Whether you're a business student interested in sustainability or a biology major interested in exploring the country's biodiversity, New Zealand offers countless opportunities that will create a memorable study abroad experience.
Miami University offers faculty-led programs as well as co-sponsored and pre-approved programs through study abroad providers and universities, below are a few examples:
Miami's Outdoor Leadership New Zealand Program provides students with a four-week summer study abroad opportunity that will enhance their leadership, outdoor skill development, outdoor education, and cultural engagement. Students are able to investigate the cultural diversity of the country by backpacking and sea kayaking through the landscape and participating in experiences in the Maori community.
AustraLearn is a Miami University Co-Sponsored provider that offers the most programs in New Zealand. With one of their eleven programs in New Zealand, you can enroll in a summer leadership development program, work at an internship, or attend classes with the local Kiwis in one of the several universities.
For a complete list of programs offered in New Zealand through Miami University, visit the study abroad program search cite.
Need more convincing? Students who've studied abroad in New Zealand can't say enough good things about it!
"Going abroad to New Zealand may have been the greatest decision I might ever make at Miami. I got the experience of a lifetime living out of a backpack. I was able to go hiking, ice climbing, and sea kayaking and wouldn't trade it or the friends I made for anything. I would seriously consider this trip (Miami University's Outdoor Leadership Program in New Zealand) if you want to try something new and exciting, or want to step out of your comfort zone." –Kara McSweeney, Junior Zoology Major

Here are some of the good things readers noticed around the area recently:
Jeremy and Becky Claypool of Covington, Ind., send hearts "to all the people who made our son Ian's benefit tractor drive a success.
"We would like to thank the Wabash Valley Steam and Gas Club for all its time and effort; Lape Farms for the use of their building and facilities; Eric Crowder and Sheri Barker for taking pictures; the Covington Police Department for facilitating the drive through town and on U.S. Route 136; Ron Crowder for all his time, efforts and for making the wonderful sign for the benefit; Generations Catering of Covington for the catered meal; and Alan and Kathy Moudy for thinking of the idea and working with the tractor club to put it all together. We also would like to thank the businesses that donated items for the silent auction and all the people who attended for your contributions. Our family sincerely says 'thank you' for helping us in our time of need."
Norma Claypool of Bismarck sends hearts "to the Bismarck-Henning Elementary School. Hearts to Sue Colby, who spent several years making a child-friendly garden in the courtyard of the school.
"On Sept. 27, that garden was dedicated to Don Cunningham, former teacher and principal, and a Master Gardener. Hearts go to Don for his many years of service to the school system. Hearts go to the superb attention and respect shown by the children at the dedication ceremony. Hearts go to Mrs. Alexander, who led the children in singing such an appropriate song. We are proud to have these students, teachers and other employees in our community."
Members of the Georgetown Ladies Community Club send hearts "to all who participated in this year's jeans drive. It was a huge success!

This post is part of an ongoing series of blog entries by Anjie D (FG3), a freshman at Barnard College writing about her experiences on the blog Uptown Girl. Here's an excerpt from Perfection:
Today is the best day in the year to show prospective students how great Barnard is. The African Dance classes are held outside to live music, in the sun, on a bright green lawn. The magnolia tree has littered the ground with its sweet-smelling petals. Seminar classes take place on the lawn. Everyone is smiling and laughing amongst groups of friends. Everyone is outside. Campus is loud with chatter and discussion and music and brightly colored clothing that speaks for itself. The library is empty; the study room in the Diana is empty; people take lunch outside and sit under blossoming trees and right next to pockets of yellow daffodils. Everyone talks about all the cool classes they're signing up for in preparation for next semester.Simply put, today is perfection. There isn't a single female high school senior who sees Barnard today and decidedly hates it; there isn't a male student in Morningside Heights who doesn't appreciate Barnard's presence today. There might not even be a single male high school senior who sees Barnard today and doesn't wish he were female so he could attend Barnard.
We're even classier than the students across the street at Columbia who have turned concrete steps into an oceanless beach.
I love today. I love Barnard. I love my Barnard life.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Time for Fehr, union to get on with it
Without reading too much into Wednesday night's sad chapter in the recording of hockey history, there appears to be a path to a deal between the NHL and the NHLPA.
While hockey media and their legions of Twitter followers hung on every second leading up to midnight in New York City, union leader Don Fehr elected not to put a stop to negotiations between himself and NHL leadership.
Fehr was empowered by his constituents to file a disclaimer of interest. Such an act would begin the process of unwinding the union and putting an end to his role as lead negotiator for the NHL's players in their current collective bargaining agreement dispute with the league's owners.
One of two things happened Wednesday night to stall Fehr from such a decision. One possibility is Fehr believes he is close to reaching a deal and the reputed leverage of such a disclaimer is not needed and likely counter-productive.
A second possibility is NHL commissioner Gary Bettman called his bluff and less than politely told Fehr to go right ahead and file.
Regardless of the reasoning, it now appears more than ever before that the league and union are closing in on a deal.
Reports out of New York late Wednesday night suggested there were still open issues to be resolved but progress continues to be made.
The NHL has stated a deal must be reached by Jan. 11 to begin a 48-game schedule on Jan. 19. The league also has a plan for a 52-game schedule which would start on Jan. 12 but a deal would have to be completed today or tomorrow to enact that plan.
Fehr has been receiving all of the headlines in recent days and many have claimed victory for him in these CBA negotiations.
It appears Bettman, however, is still a potent adversary and he carried the day on Wednesday as Fehr's deadline to disclaim came and went.
Surely, Fehr can go back to his executive and get another order to disclaim but that's unlikely. If he was going to pull the trigger he would have done it Wednesday.
In not doing so he's virtually admitted a deal is within striking distance and to disclaim now would be a most transparent sham.
The NHL has already put a class action suit in place to uphold its right to lockout the players, or, in the case the lockout is ruled invalid, to have all player contracts voided.
The union's strategy was to use the threat of disclaimer to urge negotiations on and it worked. But its window has now closed and Fehr is left only to complete his bargaining and eventually make a deal.
The question remaining is whether he will do it quickly and get his players 52 games and the subsequent boost in pay or drag things into next week and limit the season to 48.
Fehr has certainly fought a good fight for his players but it's over. Get on with it, Don. Do a deal and go into hockey history as the man that revived the union.
But don't overstay your welcome. It will hurt all of hockey. Including the men that hired you to do the job you've now completed.

Is there any way to affect the RFCOMM channel number
that is allocated while using SPP server connection in
I mean that this seems to be total mess beacase channel
number allocation seems to variate from product to product.
For example in S60 the btspp service seems to be in channel
5 or 12 at first - but after closing-opening sequence the
channel seems to increased by 1.
In some S40 product uses channel 22 - and it remains while
disconnecting/connection. But not all of them...
This causes me little bit problems, when my home-made
hardware uses hardcodes channel number and cannot do the
device inquiry to find suitable device and channel connecto
In S40 product seems to have also another SPP's than just
my own java created port - so 1101 is also useless because
we get connected probably the first one which is suitable.
I already try to modify the service description tables
but acceptandopen() -method seems to restore attribute
4 value back...
In my previous post there was some sort of hack-work-around
by creating connection as long as channel get wrapped and
it is the original channel number again, but it does not
seem to work in my newest S40...
Any ideas?

PESD Policy Brief: Natural Gas Can Play Key Role If Governments Support It
PESD Associate Director Mark Thurber argues that natural gas, often the neglected stepchild of the climate debate, in fact has the most potential among energy supply options to achieve cost-effective greenhouse gas reductions in the near term. Dramatic advances in techniques for extracting "unconventional gas" could presage a bright future for the fuel, but only if governments do their part to support the expansion of gas demand and associated infrastructure.

Per DOB, and discussed in several places, we shouldn't have more than $3-$4 million in salary to spend next season, and that's including what's expected to be a small payroll increase. Honestly, though, Liberty Media's money management really bugs me. A year after they said payroll would not be cut, it was seemingly cut by almost $10 million (At the time it was defended by saying insurance payouts for injured players accounted for much of the difference). We don't always know what kind of incentives deals are loaded with, or how the team accounts for costs like draft pick signings or international signings.
Still, something just doesn't seem to add up. After letting people walk, cutting costs, we still seem to be a little short, especially if our payroll is going to increase. If we're at the point that we can't sign a $5 million free agent (that's worth about 1 WAR on the market) for a team where the marginal value of a win is very high (that is, we're a fringe playoff team, and one win just might be the difference between making the playoffs and not). But here's my attempt to rundown just what we're spending on the team in 2012.
(Notes: The rookie minimum next year is said to be $480K. Some guys will make slightly more than the minimum, others get pre-arb raises prior to actually getting arbitration, so I'm rounding up all rookies to $500K and assuming it more than covers other discrepancies in my estimates)
Chipper Jones: $13 million
Dan Uggla: $13 million
Brian McCann: $11.5 million, per DOB
Derek Lowe: $10 million (the get-out-of-town special)
Tim Hudson: $9 million
Michael Bourn: $7.5 million (That's a high end estimate, closer to $7, I think)
Jair Jurrjens: $4.75 million (Again, perhaps high end, considering injuries)
Martin Prado: $4.5 million
Eric O'Flaherty: $2 million (Very much high end, since it's more than double what he made last year)
Matt Diaz: $2 million (Seems like a waste, considering how strapped for cash we are)
David Ross: $1.62 million
Eric Hinske: $1.5 million
Nate McLouth buyout: $1.25 million
Jason Heyward: $525K
Tommy Hanson: $525K
Kris Medlen: $500K
Jonny Venters: $500K

Mike Minor: $500K
Julio Teheran: $500K
Tyler Pastornicky: $500K
(5 more minor leaguers to fill out the bench and bullpen): $2.5 million
I have it at $89.685 million. Again, that SHOULD be high end, since I'm estimating high end on several things I am not sure about. I did leave out Peter Moylan, though, because DOB seems to think he'd get $2 million, and I think that can't be right-it's too much for a middle relief pitcher that could miss half the season. Braves' payroll has hovered around $93 million for 10 years. That seems to be what we're aiming at once again, if the Braves aren't able to add anyone making even as much as $5 million per year. So it doesn't seem like we're actually spending any more than we have the past several years. (Point of reference: Cot's estimated we paid $86.2 million last year)
If anyone notices anything else I'm leaving out, or learns anything else, please post here. We can hopefully use this as reference material to go with our rosterbation. Learning about the $3 million raise that McCann got was useful, and it definitely ruled out signing anybody to an 8 figure contract. The main thing I've taken from this is that I want to hurry up and extend Heyward to buy out his arbitration years as soon as possible.

Implementation of a Geographic Information System (GIS)- The nuts and bolts
Ashis B. Pal
President Advanced Technology Solutions Inc. Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, USA
In this age of competitiveness, achieving increased efficiency through new technology is becoming crucial. Organizations are looking for ways to improve productivity and increase profit through automation. With the advent of affordable computer technologies, organizations have started to automate business functions through the use of desktop word processing, electronic spread sheets, relational data base (RDBMS) technology, and computer aided design and drafting (CADD) systems. To meet the challenges of the future, the Corporate mantra is now "increase efficiency and control cost". In order to achieve goals, organizations are to reduce duplication of effort, prevent redundancy, increase efficiency and provide better services to their clients and community through interdepartmental sharing and analysis of common data bases and resources.
If what you do involves managing information that can be linked to geographic locations- then Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can help you. GIS helps to organize information in new ways, helps you to make new discoveries and get more out of the information you have. A GIS is an immensely powerful information management and computer mapping system. It links geographic locations with information about them so you can create maps and analyze information in new ways. Maps are graphic representations of the real world. Because most federal, state and local government policies, plans and daily operations depend on accurate, location-based information, a GIS can play a vital role in making governments more efficient and more productive, and often result in better service delivery. A GIS has become an essential technology for government organizations in making better decisions, improvements in services because most decisions they make are related to geography.
The implementation of a GIS based information management system is often the first major opportunity to completely revamp and upgrade the record keeping, record management and reporting systems of organization. However, in order to ensure a successful transition to a new system, it demands a critical look at three crucial issues, regardless of whether the existing system is manual, automated or a combination of both:
A successful GIS implementation requires strict adherence to a time proven chronological task steps. The results/outputs of one task is the input to the next task. Though some of the tasks can be treated as independent tasks, 90% of the tasks are interdependent. The sequence of events should be:
The Requirements Analysis serves as the overall project framework by defining who the users will be, what applications are suitable for immediate implementation by the GIS, and what GIS data and base mapping requirements are needed to support those applications. The Requirements Analysis provides an initial understanding of the level of effort and realistic schedule required to implement the GIS environment envisioned by users. The document forms the initial framework for a common understanding between the client and the consultant in terms of breadth and scope of the envisioned GIS system.
Following the Requirements Analysis, it is possible to acquire the appropriate base map, select and purchase GIS software and hardware, develop detailed system architecture designs for user applications and data bases, write the applications, and convert the data. None of the tasks can be accomplished nor can the level of effort associated with the tasks be determined until the Requirements Analysis has been completed and some of the initial design and data structure has been investigated. From the analysis of the GIS related functions within an organization, it is then possible to define the GIS applications categories. Clear definition of these categories will allow an identification of the requirements of the system for the data, hardware and software, and network configuration and specification. In other words, the applications drive the system. Many organizations under pressure from the hardware and software vendors invest immensely on the technology without even knowing their needs and requirements. They are oversold regarding the capabilities of the technology. When reality sets in, organizations find that they have spent a lot, but have nothing to show for those expenses except for hardware and boxes of software sitting on the shelves.
In this presentation I will address the following topics that cover from the definition of a GIS to its final successful implementation. I will try to portray a true picture, the good, the bad and the evil, based on my 20 years of hands on experience in the GIS field. The attendees will get a clear understanding of GIS technology, will get a taste of reality and will learn about doing it the correct way. My presentation will cover the "Ways to success" and will also point out the traps and miss-conceptions about the technology.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Prevent Child Abuse Dougherty wants you to be more aware of the signs of child abuse and the resources in the community to help prevent it.
The group is made up mostly of school counselors. They're opening their meetings to anyone who wants to help and encouraging the community not to let the issues fall by the wayside.
They plan to meet the third Thursday of every month.
"That's what we're trying to do is get the community representatives back involved because even though we see the child abuse in the schools we know there are a lot of resources in the community itself that work with our children that can benefit our children and can be a help and support to our children," said Prevent Child Abuse Dougherty Vice Pres. Stacey Cross.
The group wants to be a professional voice in the community to assist students, parents, and staff.

The Royal College of Surgeons acquired some of its neighbouring buildings, and there is construction on a new department of pharmacy. I wanted to know if the other old buildings next to it which have their windows smashed in, are going to be demolished as well and if the RCSI also has plans on expanding in that area. Does anyone have any idea?
There is also a new office building called Beux Lane behind the RCSI, I think Dunnes Stores has some offices there. Who owns that building? Is it the RCSI as well? How many buildings do they have in total?

The Black Halo is the second part of a story based around German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's version of Faust, following main characters Ariel, Helena, and Mephisto. The first part was Kamelot's previous album, Epica, and as such is basically mandatory listening for anybody who really wants to get the full experience out of The Black Halo. However, for the stubborn among us – Epica covers Ariel's abandonment of everything he has known in order to begin pursuit of the answers to the great mysteries of life. Unfortunately, things don't quite work out for him in the wide world, and he begins to long for the promising days of youth. This subsequently leads into his meeting with Mephisto, who – being the devil in disguise – arrives in the shape of a beautiful woman when Ariel is at his lowest and offers him all the pleasures a man could want. Ariel temporarily succumbs to Mephisto's offers and abandons his search. He indulges in "the life", as it were – food, drink, women, et al – and goes on to sign a contract with Mephisto that will turn out to be the proverbial deal with the devil. After all of this, he encounters his childhood love – Helena. They share a moment together, and Ariel learns that she is pregnant with his child, but Ariel ends up pushing her away in fear that the deal he had just made with Mephisto would bring her too much suffering… and as a result, Helena drowns herself in the river. Ariel becomes trapped between Mephisto's malevolence and Helena's goodness (who reappears as an angel), and Epica essentially ends there. The Black Halo, in turn, starts off with a depiction of the absolute peak of Mephisto's power over Ariel. The album sees Ariel given another chance at love (which he also rejects), and consequently descends into a dark conflict that takes place entirely in his mind. Several enlightening realizations bring him to a final confrontation with Mephisto, a tragic reunion with Helena, and ultimately culminate in a scene that portrays his death and takes the listener back to the very beginning of the overall saga. There are many little details, nuances, twists, and turns to discover along the way, but I'll leave that up to you. Suffice it to say, the concept is very well thought-out and quite moving.
The album features various guest musicians, including – guitarist Thomas Youngblood's wife Mari as the voice of Helena, Dimmu Borgir's Shagrath as the voice of Mephisto, Epica's Simone Simons as the character Marguerite, a full blown professional choir (dubbed the Kamelot Choir), the Rodenberg Symphony Orchestra, Stratovarius' Jens Johansson on keyboards, and more.
Impressive. Most impressive.
The music is rooted firmly in a power metal aesthetic. However, this is the most plausible form of power metal I have ever heard. I'm not even a fan of power metal – I could never get into the trite and boring high fantasy themes, extreme falsetto vocal nonsense, flat and predictable musicianship, and overall feeling of dreadful cheese. Kamelot, on the other hand, seem to take this inherently disastrous genre of metal and completely drop everything that makes it so laughable, substituting instead a sincere sense of sweeping power, genuine emotion, and soaring drama.
The band, from an instrumental perspective, manage to not completely fall into the trappings of their chosen genre. Save for a few essential performances from Jens Johansson (for example, his lead in the middle of "March of Mephisto" which is supposed to act as the devil's instrument), there aren't any obnoxious keyboard leads to be found here. The drums extend past incessant double bass marathons, offering moments of impactful glory (also best exemplified on "March of Mephisto"), and even some time signature changeups. The guitars range from high-speed tremolo riffing to mid-tempo work that can be quite heavy but never grates on the listener's ears; the guitar leads are highly melodious and fitting to the atmosphere of a given song and its place within the progression of the story, never really descending into pointless wankery. However, the real gem here is vocalist Roy Khan. He has immense range, but chooses to hang around the mid vocal registers for much of his delivery, which makes those moments where he extends up high or drops down low that much more moving. Those allergic to power metal shouldn't get discouraged by the "up high" comment… he doesn't indulge in the kind of over the top vocal acrobatics many have come to expect from this genre; he simply changes things up occasionally to keep a dynamic flow and stay with the mood of the song. Furthermore, his voice is filled with a fiery passion that's perfect for getting across the feelings and depicting the internal conflicts of the main character, Ariel… and he has several absolutely breathtaking performances throughout – namely, his duet with guest vocalist Simone Simons on "The Haunting (Somewhere In Time)", and his bone-chilling delivery on "Abandoned" that's multiplied ten-fold by the stellar backing of orchestra and choir.
There are three interludes during the course of The Black Halo that aren't really songs, but serve as transitionary performances that bring to light critical aspects of the storyline. The second of these, "Interlude II – Un Assassinio Molto Silenzioso" (translates into "A Very Silent Murder"), features Italian singer Cinzia Rizzo who's performance is of note. The third interlude, dubbed "Interlude III – Midnight, Twelve Tolls For A New Day", is also quite significant in that it depicts Ariel's final glimpse of Helena approaching him just before the moment of his death. His pained uttering of her name brings the album proper to a close. There is another song to be found afterwards, though. "Serenade" isn't part of the album's story, but is a joyous and upbeat song that is essentially a glorious celebration of life.
There are several other moments I'd like to briefly discuss.
The first is the opening track, "March of Mephisto". This song is just so unbelievably powerful. It's meant to represent the peak of Mephisto's influence over Ariel, and it gets this feeling across admirably as the united, methodical pulsing of drums and guitars sounds like a massive mustering of Mephisto's armies and their inevitable march to war with Mephisto himself snarling at their backs. As another reviewer said, it's like a freaking revolution. I can only imagine what kind of reaction this song garners in a live setting.
The second is the track "Memento Mori". Being the longest song that Kamelot have written to date (at around nine minutes), it sees Ariel, Helena, and Mephisto together one final time. The staple of this song is the line "I am the God in my own history", where Ariel finally realizes that he has the power to control his own destiny and casts Mephisto from his mind. Powerful performances from Roy, Mari, and Shagrath.
…and that's about it.
The Black Halo is like the "anti-power metal" power metal album, or maybe it's the purest embodiment of what power metal was always meant to become. Either way, it's a stunning, gorgeous, and intelligent album that I would recommend whether you're a fan of metal or not.
Not to be missed.

Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch Purchasing Woes.
My step-dad ordered an X1 Carbon Touch for me as a graduation present on the 17th of December. The ship date was an estimated Dec 25 with 3-4 day shipping. On the 19th of December, Lenovo sent us an email to notify us that the shipping address (my grandparents' house) was not on the AMEX. Turns out this was true, as it, the address registration, had expired earlier in the year. However, this was rectified within an hour of receiving notification, and Lenovo sent us a confirmation that it had indeed been fixed and that all was good to go.
Two days ago, the 26th, after wondering why I hadn't gotten a shipment notification yet and emailing Lenovo inquiring, my step-dad received another note from Lenovo exclaiming the same issue. He called them and they said that they would have to confirm with AMEX that the issue was indeed resolved (even though their system had already confirmed it). My step-dad said he would wait on hold while the Lenovo guy contacted AMEX as to no have to deal with any callback nonsense. Well, of course the issue had been taken care ago over a week earlier like we knew it had been and the rep promised to expedite the order for us so that I would get it close to the original date.
The next morning, we received an email that said: "We apologize, but we are unable to ship one or more items on your order at this time. We anticipate shipment within 30 days of this notification.". What - the - fuck. After some more phone tag, apparently the laptop *might* ship out on the 7th of January. I'll be back in Florida by then (in Chicago now) and apparently they say it's too late to change the shipping address on the order. What's even funnier is that today the price dropped by 200 dollars. Thankfully it looks like they are going to remove the difference from the final bill, but regardless this had been a relatively horrible experience. I was very, very close to pulling the plug on the whole purchase and waiting for Haswell, but my current thinkpad is in very bad shape.
Can't wait to get my X1 Carbon Touch, though. It looks so sexy. Think the Verge will do a review on it? It really does look like a lovely machine and it's exactly what I've been wanting since Windows 8 was revealed. Downsides? RAM is not user-replaceable.

The family of a Block Island couple killed in a plane crash has been waiting two grueling weeks for some information into what happened and they finally get a glimpse of the final seconds their 83-year-old parents were in the air.
Herman and Doris Hassinger's life is a true love story. They've known each other since the 4th grade. "They were high school sweethearts and really were never apart., " says their daughter Liz Hassinger.
They had four children and 12 grand children. They spent most of their life on Block Island, the other half in the air. "It was part of their lifestyle to always be on the move, " says Hassinger. Herman Hassinger wasn't only a pilot, he was also a well known architect, designing more than 200 churches along the east coast. His latest project was building the sanctuary at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Kingston where he and his wife spent a lot of their time. "He was so devoted and passionate about his art, " says Pastor Juliet Bongfledt.
But he was even more passionate about flying. "He's been flying for 45 years and I always thought someday I might get a terrible phone call and on October 25th, Liz's phone rang. Her parents plane went down on a busy highway in New Hampshire, killing them both. "I was home when I got the call it was really really shocking, " says Liz Hassinger. Shocking because her father spent more of his time in the air than on the ground, but on that particular day something went wrong.
A report released Thursday from the National Transportation Safety Board says Herman Hassinger lost contact with air traffic control shortly after take off. Ten minutes later the plane crashed. "The report says something happened to my dad he was not alive when the plane hit the ground, perhaps he had a heart attack and my mother was trying to get the plane down., " says Liz Hassinger.
A bond so strong up until the end, Liz says she finds comfort knowing her parents are still together. "They would have been lost without each other. They loved life and they died living life., " adds Liz Hassinger.
The couple's funeral was supposed to be held last week, but Hurricane Sandy was so bad it got delayed. It will bow be held this Saturday at the same church Herman designed.

It's important people understand prisons are the ultimate symbol of oppression. The state tries to discredit the organizers of this hunger strike with all manner of lies and defamatory comments. But the very fact these men and women refuse to surrender their beliefs or to inform on their friends is a direct contradiction of the state's mischaracterizations. These are men and women of principle who have given everything to the struggle.

Young people, to start, you must acknowledge that for everything you think you know, there is a great deal you don't know. That the first pursuit of man is to acquire knowledge. But until you can discern the real from the fake, true knowledge and the wisdom to wield it effectively will always escape you.

Marritte Funches is a very special friend of the Bay View newspaper, which he used for years to educate and encourage fellow prisoners at Ely State Prison in Nevada. We refuse to be silent while the Nevada "prisoncrats" endanger his life through deliberate medical neglect of his severe kidney disease.

I saw him fifty years ago, through the window of my father's car, with the dirty London rain pouring down upon the crowds along the Charing Cross Road. I remember the soporific rhythm of the windshield wipers, the soft leather seats that smelt faintly of tobacco, and my father's handsome, impassive profile, as he sat silently beside me, thinking his own thoughts.
The evening traffic was particularly heavy. We would crawl along for a hundred yards and then stop, while people with umbrellas and Christmas shopping swayed around the car, their faces distorted by the film of water on my window. But Santa Claus had no umbrella. He was standing on the corner outside Foyle's bookshop, dishevelled and sagging, held up by two policemen. His dark hair was plastered to his forehead and he had lost his beard; one half of his face was smeared with mud. His head was lolling and his mouth was twisted into an idiotic grin.
My breath fogged the window and I quickly wiped it away with my hand. Perhaps he thought I was waving, for he suddenly looked up and stared at me with exhausted eyes. The grin began to fade away. His arms were pinned too tightly in the policemen's grip, but I saw his right hand stiffen towards the car and move from side to side.
To this day I do not know what to make of that small gesture. It seemed to say don't worry – pay no attention to all this. It might have been a dismissal, or a benediction.
Then the traffic edged us on and I lost sight of him. It was a while before I realised that my father had seen him too.
"Just a drunk in a red ulster," he murmured as we turned onto Oxford Street.
