The 2011 season is just five games old. However, the Sweetwater varsity baseball team is already halfway to matching its win total for all of 2010.
Sweetwater (4-1) — which will be hosting its three-day Wood Bat Classic tournament starting Thursday at Newman Park — captured the championship at San Angelo Lake View's tournament before losing at San Angelo Central by a score of 10-4 on Monday.
Sweetwater varsity hosts SHS Wood Bat Classic tournament through Saturday, March 5.
Sweetwater JV plays at Abilene tournament through Saturday, March 5.
Sweetwater JV plays at Eula tournament through Saturday, March 5.
Roscoe junior high teams at Rotan meet.
Highland junior high teams at Sands meet.
Sweetwater JV and varsity boys play at Andrews tournament through Saturday, March 5.
Sweetwater varsity girls play at regional preview tournament in Lubbock through Saturday, March 5.
Viv Littleton of Sweetwa-ter had her first career ace while playing at the Canyon Springs Golf Course in San Antonio. She used a 7-wood to ace the 120-yard No. 7 hole. Her witnesses were Ann Popejoy, Rosemary Watts and LaGena Weaver.
The Sweetwater girls golf team shot a 693 total this past Friday and Saturday for a second-place finish at the Sweetwater Golf Classic.
One bad inning — that's all that kept the Sweetwa-ter High School softball team from first-place honors at its own tournament held this past weekend.
Still, it was a pretty good three days as the Lady Mustangs finished third at their event and suffered only one defeat at the Jerry Collins Complex.
A pair of Sweetwater' athletes, Paxton Kelley and Taylor Jones, have received all-District 5-3A basketball honors for their outstanding play this past season.
Kelley, a 6-8 senior post, was named to the first team and received all-district honors for the second straight year. He averaged a team-high 15.3 points in district play and also led the Mustangs in rebounds and blocks.
Jones, a 5-9 junior guard, was named to the second team. Jones averaged 14.6 points in district play and was the team's floor leader.
ABILENE — For the first 3 1/2 quarters of Friday's Region II-A, Division II semifinal playoff, the Highland girls basketball team was able to match everything Newcastle could throw at them.
Holding a 47-44 lead with just 4:20 to play, the Lady Hornets appeared to be in great shape to reach the regional finals for only the second time in school history.
Jayci Shelton, a senior at Sweetwater High School, won medals in two events recently at an indoor invitational track meet held at Texas Tech University. She ran the 55-meter hurdles in 8.97 seconds for a first-place finish out of a field of 52 competitors — some from Class 5A — with seven heats. In addition, Shelton was third in the 400 meters out of a field of 150 girls with a time of 1:01.57. The latter race had 25 heats and also included runners from Class 5A schools.

I realize that most of the minors prospects are over and one with. I also realize that many here may or may not care who wins which minor league playoffs. There are still prospects playing of interest. There are still guys who will be prospects next year or who have just passed prospect status who folks care about. I'm focusing on the Nats two series, Eastern League semis (Nats vs. Pirates Tom Milone, who'll be on prospect lists next year vs. Rudy Owen, preseason Pirates no. 9 C+) and Carolina League Semis (Nats vs. Orioles) three systems of interest to folks. Plus rehabs and other stuff are happening like Andy Pettite pitching for the Trenton Thunder.
So if you're interested post the lines you like and comment on 'em here. Enjoy!

Two 18 hole layouts at Gold Mountain. The Cascade Course is the original course here, opened in 1971, was designed by Ken Tyson, and is 6,707 yards from the tips with a slope of 120.
The Cascade Course is a fine layout, scenic, and always in good condition, but the gem here is the Olympic. It plays to 7,104 yards,and 135 slope, opened in 1996, and designed by John Harbottle. The course is located across Puget Sound, west of Seattle, and is routed through fairways of tall firs, and rolling hills. It's a fantastic and scenic layout, smallish and quick greens with decent undulation, and plenty of water and sand.
No golf course reviews have been submitted on this course.

Nottinghamshire burn money blocking Trans treatment
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality on 27 February 2012
Via @quarridors, it appears as if Nottinghamshire are blocking Trans patients from accessing HRT and in the process rather unnecessarily burning money.
Late last year and rather quietly, a number of GID-related medications including Testosterone, Estrogen and Goserelin were added to the "Red list" of drugs which cannot be prescribed by GPs. This came to light when one GP refused (Or was unable) to prescribe Testoserone to one Transman.
The intent here seems clear. It's not just that GPs require specialists to recommend the drug, as otherwise it would be on one of the "Amber" lists. Instead, any prescription must be written by the Gender Identity Clinics.
This has two effects. In the short term, the GIC has no prescription budget so can't prescribe and patients are not getting the treatment they need.
Secondly is what happens post-surgery. Typically, a patient would be looked after by their GP, who will write a prescription. In the case of transwomen this will often make the NHS money, as Estrogen costs less than the NHS Prescription charge.
Under Nottinghamshire's rules, it appears that patients will need to continue seeing their GIC to get prescriptions, at a cost of a couple of hundred pounds a time. There is an FoI request in the pipeline to try to find out why this has happened, but I cannot conceive of any clinical reason. It does seem that Nottinghamshire are trying to save money and are not only risking patients health but have not thought through the consequences of their actions and will end up costing themselves more in the long run.
(The other option is that they've read too much Daily Mail and are just trying to block Trans treatment at all… but no PCT would act unlawfully to do that now, would they…?)
Paddy Power advert approval withdrawn
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality, Media on 23 February 2012
For those who have followed the Paddy Power issue, approval for the advert has now been withdrawn by Clearcast, the body that approves broadcast adverts in the UK. It now cannot be aired on any UK broadcast or Video on Demand service.
Here's what ClearCast have said:
Last week we approved a tv ad for Paddy Power featuring references to transgendered people. When making our decision to approve the ad, we took into account the fact that the advertiser had sought a view from the Beaumont Society (a body run by and for those who cross dress or are transsexual) which did not find the script idea offensive.
However following a number of complaints over the last few days, it appears that the ad has caused offence and in consultation with broadcasters, it has been decided that the ad should no longer run on their TV or VoD services in its current format. We regret offence that may have been caused.
Updated: Paddy power now have a post on their web site in which they're completely unrepentant on the issue. (And being rather shitty about it too) Apparently it's all OK because they consulted a Trans organisation (Apparently unaware that BS is predominantly TV/CD) and some Trans folk were going to appear in it. No clue if the the Trans folk who would have been featured were Transsexual or Transvestites.
Parliamentary Motion on Press Trans Intrusion (You can help!)
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality, Media on 21 February 2012
A Parliamentary Early Day Motion – the MPs method of saying "down with this sort of thing" – has been started. It was proposed by Caroline Lucas (Green) and seconded by Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat) and Mark Durkan (Labour) so has cross-party support already, with the topic being the Sun's attempts to hunt down the trans man who recently gave birth.
It's very timely that it's been released today of all days, with the Metro running a front page story on a 5-year-old child diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria. (A story complete with photo, full name and the names of her parents!)
You can help – Please write to your MP if they have not signed it already and ask them to support this. If you do not know who your MP is, you can use Write To Them to find out. More signatures will not just increase the pressure on the press to act responsible towards the Trans community, but also to act responsibly across the board.
Leading Cybersecurity expert: Let's go back to the 1990s!
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Internet on 16 February 2012
Anyone remember CIX, AOL or Compuserve from the early-to-mid 1990s? You'd log on and have a nice, safe (But expensive) set of forums and chat rooms isolated from the chaos of the mainstream internet.
Whatever happened to them?
Well, they died. A long time ago. I don't think many mourned their passing, really. AOL became just another dialup ISP, famed for those free shiny coffee coasters they put through everyone's door. CompuServe were bought by AOL. CIX just became specialists in conferencing.
Now a "cybersecurity expert", Professor Alan Woodward, has reinvented the wheel. And the BBC think it's news.
Yes, he's proposing that in the name of security, we reinvent those walled gardens of the 90s. The ones that died because they were expensive and couldn't innovate at the speed of the internet.
Because, of course, if we rip it up and start again the hordes of programmers who wrote the current systems, replete with security holes, are not just going to make exactly the same mistakes again and recreate the same problem.
I've seen far too many "Security Internet" and "Internet Two point Oh" proposals over the years. Unsurprisingly, none of them have come to anything and those that survived have done so simply by becoming another ISP or web hosting provider. It's no wonder we're in a mess, if this is the best we get from an expert in the field.
A draft Equal Marriage Bill?
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality on 14 February 2012
Those lovely folk over at Stonewall have published a draft same-sex marriage bill. The clue is in the name – it's just same-sex marriage, not equal marriage. It's telling that the real content is just two sides of A4, with lots of space on the page. I think the Trans community's version would be longer, just for the basics.
Brainstorming, what would people like to see in a proper equal marriage bill?
For starters, here's what I have:
- Same-sex marriage, both civil and religious
- Opposite-sex civil partnerships (Emma Brownbill points out that this is also a Trans issue, due to stealth concerns)
- A process for converting historical Marriages/Civil Partnerships (Only those before passage of the Bill) to the other form
- An end to requiring divorce/annulment to obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate, (GRC) and by extension, ability to obtain updated marriage/divorce certificates when you also get a GRC.
- Legally (Including in contract law) regard all marriages annulled under the Gender Recognition Act and then re-entered into as being continuous. (This has implications for pensions and similar)
- Some recognition of poly relationships to be able to get the same rights and responsibilities as others? (I have no idea how one would write this as primary legislation!)
I have probably missed loads…
Harry Potter: "Adult Media" according to Ofcom and the BBC
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Media on 9 February 2012
An "update" from Ofcom landed in my Inbox yesterday that has me a little worried, as it's pushing a report by "ParentPort", of which they're a member as well as other media organisations such as the BBC. The headline is "Revealed: How parents control children's access to adult media" with the lead-in stating "of those parents surveyed whose children watch films at home, 40% had allowed their children to watch a film classified above their age" and that this "reveals the challenges and pressures parents face when it comes to keeping the media their children see age-appropriate."
Shock horror! Near half of kids are watching inappropriate adult content!
But hold on a second – we do not have the actual survey results or know exactly what questions were asked. Do they really mean adult content, I.e. films rated R18? Probably not, but they've still put it in an attention grabbing headline.
My eldest is 10, but all three of my kids have seen all of the Harry Potter series of films. All but the first three films are rated 12 or 12A, so by ParentPort's definition this is somehow "revealing" that I'm facing pressures "keeping the media they see age-appropriate". I don't think I am, because (In line with BBFC guidance!) I saw the films with them at the cinema.
Actually, I mostly saw it at the cinema with them because I wanted to see it too. I'd have had no problems with them going to watch it on their own and I suspect many parents adopt the same view.
I am not sure if this is poor headline writing by someone at Parent Port or if they are trying to push some agenda, but I'm sure this will be seized upon negatively by some who want to campaign for their own brand of control and censorship.
In terms of my own approach, I don't let the kids watch/play just anything. They've been allowed to play some of the Grand Theft Auto games only under rather close supervision, because they are permitted to do the driving around but not the storyline missions. They're completely uninterested in sex, but they lack the appropriate knowledge to put some of the plot and dialogue in context and it's understanding the context that's my main concern with any sex-related media, rather than wanting to keep them away from sex completely.
Leveson Inquiry submission by Trans Media Watch
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality on 9 February 2012
For those not following on Twitter, a Transcript of Helen Belcher's oral evidence to the Leveson Inquiry yesterday on behalf of Trans Media Watch is now online (PDF Link) and worth a read. Her evidence begins on page 10 of the PDF, page 37 in Leveson's own numbering, and there is also a plain text version available.
The written submission is also available (PDF Link) but Helen's responses to the oral questions make a more accessible and quick-to-read summary of the situation.
Edited to add: Trans Media Watch noted that only part of the written submission is available. Large amounts of harrowing first hand evidence submitted has to remain confidential.
Leeds GIC update: Still confused
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality, FoI Requests on 3 February 2012
Further to last week's post on Leeds GIC not understanding what they're diagnosing, they've responded to further "clarify" their position in response to a follow-up by Emma Brownbill.
They're still pretty confused.
Firstly, they apparently retract any claim to follow the DSM-IV: (this is despite it being listed on their web site)
Your example above follows the current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV (TR)) which makes a differential diagnosis coding based on current age (302.6 Gender Identity Disorder in Children, 302.85 Gender Identity Disorder in Adolescents or Adults).
However, as a provider of Adult Mental Health and Learning Disability Services, our Trust follows the current edition of the 'International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems' (ICD-10), published by the World Health Organization, which has five different diagnoses for gender identity disorder (F64 Gender Identity Disorders) as follows:
It then goes on to quite the ICD… which does not list a diagnosis of "primary transsexualism", the subject of the original FoI request, anywhere. But wait! Later on in their response, when it's pointed out to them that WPATH and HBIGDA are the same organisation, they apparently change their minds:
WPATH is a worldwide organisation that provides "Flexible Clinical Guidelines" – (stated on page 8, version 7). As previously explained, our Trust follows the guidance and recommendations from a number of clinical publications and these may influence our practice however these are guidelines and are used as such.
So, they might use other publications? Or do they? Further down, when asked to provide a copy of any "guidance, policies or procedures" in use:
As explained above, our Trust follows the current edition of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10), published by the World Health Organization, for diagnoses of Gender Identity Disorders (F64).
So it's ICD-10… but when asked if they plan to adopt the latest version of the WPATH SoC, and despite it having already been pointed out that this is the same organisation as the HBIGDA: (My emphasis)
As previously explained, our Trust follows the guidance and recommendations from a number of clinical publications, which includes the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the Harry Benjamin International Standards of Care, the Royal College of Psychiatrist standards (currently in draft format), Nice guidelines etc. However, these are guidelines and are used as such.
So, glad that's been cleared up then?!?
ZNC Private Message logging module
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Internet on 3 February 2012
I have recently switched from using dircproxy as an IRC bouncer to ZNC and it is turning out to be a better piece of software. (Not least of which is decent SSL support and a handy web interface that allows easy reconfiguration) However, it suffers from the same problem as many other bouncers – it doesn't log Private Messages when you're online. This is annoying because I may have left some machine somewhere connected that I might not return to for a day or two, or I might be on a mobile device that's prone to losing it's connection due to train tunnels etc. (Which results in ZNC thinking the device is still connected until it times out and messages are lost completely)
So, for anyone who uses ZNC who finds this similarly problematic, you can download a copy of the logging module I've worked on here. It compiles cleanly against the Debian version of ZNC 0.202 cleanly using just "znc-buildmod pmlog.cpp", and you can install it simply by coping the resulting pmlog.so file to ~/.znc/modules and enabling it from the web interface.
There are no configuration options yet so it's rather rough and basic and should be regarded as Beta-quality code at best, but time permitting I should add more soon. When you connect, it will simply play back inbound/outbound private messages sent since you loaded the module.

Taylorville – Major changes are coming next year in the Taylorville School District.
The school board voted last night to close South Elementary School. Students will be moved around to create so-called "centers" at other schools. The new "centers" will place kindergarten through 2nd grade at North Elementary, and grades three and four at Memorial Elementary.
Closing South Elementary is expected to save the district 650 thousand dollars.

4.43/5 rDev +9.7%
on tap at Toronado
16oz pint glass
orange hue
quite a strong grapefruit and pine aroma, lasts well into the last half of the beer.
Up front there is a strong hop bitterness bite with lots of pine cone. A little grassy. Citrus is secondary. Somewhat reminiscent of pliny the elder but not quite. Bitterness level seems to be really high, comparable to pliny maybe. Very juicy hops. Bitterness is probably a bit harsh for hop newbies, but for me it was that perfect, slightly puckering level. Malt presence is minimal. Full bodied with subtle alcohol. Holy Schmoley? 5.9%? no wonder I can remember what it tasted like...
Overall: What an awesome beer at only 5.9% (a plus in my book). This is a wonderful bitter but juicy IPA.

4/5 rDev -1%
Appearance The body is a deep, dark, beautiful orange in color with a thick, hour-long head. Sweet!
Smell The rich, complex hop profile speaks wonders about the craftsmanship that went into making this AIPA. All the usual suspect are here pine, citrus, and some light leafy floral notes and all backed by a strong, thick, malty caramel base.
Taste The rich malts come out bigger at the taste, making this almost like a double (in its flavor profile if not in ABV). The hops are right on track, and the pine is drying yet very balanced. The orangy flavor that rings throughout the drink is pure goodness.
Mouthfeel This is medium-bodied with some light but potent carbonation. It is dry but not painfully so, and the sweetish malts give this a slick mouthfeel.
Drinkability This gem from Moonlight Brewing is a serious IPA. Its very tasty and leans towards bitterness. Good job!

1/3/08 at The Monk's Kettle, San Francisco. Deep golden color. Nice off-white head with good retention. Yeasty, hoppy (citrus and pine) aroma with toast malt notes and slight fruitiness. Strong bitterness up front in flavor leading into toasty malt notes with slight sweetness. Resiny, citric hop flavor. Some moderate caramel flavors from crystal malts. Slight green apple note. Moderate-high carbonation. Rich mouthfeel (almost creamy). Medium-bodied with some alcohol warmth.

Hand-pump cask @ Toronado in SF - served in a shaker pint.
Crystal clear amber body with a messy dollop of beige wave scum. Nice cakey lacing and a small head with good retention.
Resinous citrusy aromatics with evergreen and faintly sweet biscuity malts.
Grapefruit seeds, tangerine pith, pale malt, forest floor, etc. on the palate. Hints of wet wood and barley in the finish - fairly malty despite a forward NorCal hoppiness. Not as bitter (perhaps not as fresh?) as other reviews would indicate.
Creamy, mildly astringent mouthfeel, adequately carbonated, and slightly warm for the ABV.
A decent IPA, but not really on-par with many other offerings from this exceptional brewery.

On tap @ Beachwood BBQ (Seal Beach, CA) on 3/20/10. Served in a pint glass.
Pours a fairly clear shiney copper, with a finger of smooth and creamy looking head of off-white foam. This stays VERY rich and frothy in the glass, and honestly, this has one of the better IPA looks that I've seen in a while. Very nice! The aroma is fresh and floral feeling in the nose, with pine and spice notes being mellowed somewhat by a mix of earthy citrus and grapefruit character. Some bready caramel sweetness lends this a touch of balancing tang in the back of the nose.
The hops are full flavored, but a little more mellow up front here in the taste, with earth and spice being well balanced by fruity citrus and caramel malts. Hops dominate the finish with a deeply spicy dryness that lingers. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with more crispness up front, that then gets much more creamy and easy as you swallow. The amount of alcohol in the feel correctly matches the ABV here. In other words, not much. Nice.
I understand that the hop profile on this changes from batch and batch and I was pleased to find that this was a pretty good one. Earthy and citric, with some sharper hop notes, plus this really packed a lot of flavor for being a sub 6% ABV. Good stuff and it was really a pleasure to be able to find a Moonlight offering in the OC.

Appearance: Opaque peachy amber, almost brown, with that superb littlepearly white honecomb head.
Smell: Lightly spicy hops aroma at first, the "C" hops eventually shine through, but in a very respectably restrained manner.
Taste: Somewhat of a rarity in the brews I sampled out here in California, but this one seemed really mellow and balanced out, much more British-style than than whacked out west coast. Crispy cookie malt, lively carbonation that pricks the tongue, hop profile mild but sustained. Very well done!

Pours a dark orange and golden tint with an extra big but moderately dense white head.
Aroma has a sweet toffee and caramel underpinning with some pine and floral notes wafting in and out.
Flavors of very dark, rich malt comes through at first then cut by a dry, piney, resiny finish. Touch of straw seems to be prevalent as well.
Mouthfeel is just on the heavier side of the middle of the roadbut good balance in this beer and interplay between dryness and sweet malt make for an interesting mix of flavors
Drinkability on this is excellent, reminds me of British casks beers with its complex flavoring and balance.

Had this beer on hand pump at Lanesplitter Pub on San Pablo ave in Berkeley, CA. Wonderfully fresh. It tasted like it was straight out of the secondary fermenter - cloudy and alive tasting, not filtered and dead tasting. Perfect taste at clightly cooler than room temperature. Excellent dry-hopped hop flavor. I would guess Cascade hops. Nice balance between sweet and bitter, obviously leaning towards the bitter. no discernable yeast flavors. A wonderful beer that is very memorable days later.

Fantastic hop-heads-only IPA, minus the cloying malty sweetness of many wannabe IPAs. Straw in color with a restrained white lacing. Scant pale malt profile that barely supports the piney, weedy onslaught of fresh hop flavors. Nice mouthfeel and very drinkable for its moderately high ABV. A local favorite on tap around town, and only served in more respectable beer places.
Editing to knock down a few notches... this has been less than spectacular lately.

on tap in mission district bar, poured into pint glass. Some of the best lacing I've seen from IPA. Incredible nose on this beer, tons of citrus, esp. grapefruit with a great IPA flavor to back it up. I'd say more but tired after long flight and just wanted to capture that this is one damn good beer. Death and Taxes was also something pretty special, will get full pint next time.

Out of the cask at Toronado in San Francisco, CA.
Raul pictured a vibrant, glowing setting sun... Raul pictured an angelic, endearing hula girl as his first mate... Raul pictured a beautiful, sparkling ocean in the never ending distance... And as Raul took his first sip and then swallowed, he kind of got that. Kind of.
With a name like "Bombay By Boat," Raul was ready to be swept away. No, not like that terrible Madonna film, but more like "L'atalante." And did Raul feel like he was sitting next to Jean Vigo after his first sip? Nope. Not at all.
Don't get me wrong, my children. It was a nice beer, but it was a bit more "simple" than Raul would have liked. It didn't "pop" like Raul's imaginary adventure to Bombay by boat (or steamer, for that matter) but it was smooth and tasty enough to warrant wanting to crack another on a schooner to Catalina Island.

Look mummy, can you see my six-pack?
Boy G is training to be Captain America. He does sit-ups, push-ups and generally runs around the house like a boy possessed. It's my fault; I let him watch The Avengers. Now he asks me questions like: 'Who do you think would win in a fight between Iron Man and the Hulk?' and 'If Thor is a God why can't he just wipe out everyone?' The fact that he thinks I may even have some inkling of an answer makes him scrumptiously naïve. Anyway, since seeing the movie, he's been determined to fine-tune his body. Now and again I'll catch him in his room, gazing in the mirror, shirt up, looking at (or rather for) a six-pack. 'Mummy can you see it yet?' And I answer, 'Well not quite yet but you're getting there'. And with that he lies down and does a few more sit-ups. 'What about now?' he asks. And I say, 'yes, I think I can see a six pack forming.' This makes boy G smile and then he does some Captain America moves at me. It's all a bit of a whirlwind and I end up on the ground with G on top of me. As we get up he says, 'Mummy, can I make something that will make my hands stick to the wall?' My response: 'Sorry, what?' He goes on, 'I want to be able to walk on the walls like Spiderman.' With a confused expression on my face, I retort, 'But I thought you were training to be Captain America?' Boy G says, 'I am but Spiderman's my best.' Right…ummm… in that case the answer is still no; you're not walking on my walls. Boy G reads my mind and tries to convince me with, 'But I just need some cellotape.' I say, 'darling, cellotape won't be strong enough.' And this conversation goes on and on until he decides he'll do some junk modeling and before I know it we're making a Thor hammer! My goodness, are all super heroes this fickle? I think it's pretty safe to say that this one won't be saving the world anytime soon! (2128)

Jason Aldean's "Fly Over States," at #2 last week, makes a long descent to #6. That leaves room for the Zac Brown Band's "No Hurry" to swoop into the the runner-up position, alongside Eric Church's "Springsteen" at #3.

Alongside Lionel Richie's Tuskegee at #2, it's set to be one of the top country albums of 2012. Elsewhere, Willie Nelson's Heroes drops from #4 to #9 and Eric Church fills in the gap at #4. Jason Aldean's indomitable My Kinda Party follows lock-step at #5. Even though June is set to be a killer month for country releases, this week was rather low in fresh material. One notable release, however, came from Kevin Costner (yes, that Kevin Costner), whose fourth album with Modern West made a respectable debut at #38.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Over the last five years, the number of kids using social media has sky rocketed. One recent poll showed 22 percent of teens log onto their favorite social media site more than 10 times a day. Some warn it can be a disturbing trend, but not necessarily one parents they need be afraid of.
Inside Karen Stone's Kindergarten class at Chancey Elementary in northeast Louisville, it's reading, writing, 'rythmatic and twitter. Through grants and special technology purchased by JCPS, Stone is able to teach her 5 and 6 year old students about all sorts of social media, from twitter to you tube.
"They came into the world exposed," Stone said. "They're living a life where they don't know anything but iPhones, android phones," and the social media that come with those devices.
Whether it's a "post" or a "tweet." A "pin" or a "space" social media has changed the way people talk, think and connect. And Linda McCarthy believes the increased use comes with dangerous consequences.
"Some of the statistics shows really that there are a lot of teens and 'tweens that just might not be, really mature enough," said McCarthy, promoting a new book about cyberspace safety called "Own Your Space." You can download that book for free, here.
McCarthy said 62 percent of teens have witnessed cruel behavior on line. Another study found 20 percent of teens have texted or posted nude or semi-nude pictures of themselves. And UK researchers warn of a growing problem with so called "Facebook depression. where teens or 'tweens spend so much time on Facebook it becomes an addiction that interferes with their daily life.
"It's really important for us to teach kids about the reality of cyberspace," McCarthy said.
But not everyone agrees what should that lesson should really be. Some educators see social media not as a terror, but a tool.
"Students can now share how they learn and what they learn during their school day using social media," said Chancey principal Ronda Cosby, who drives the use of social media for all 750 of her students at Chancey. She's not the only one to see the value in it.
A Harvard study found "electronic media has great educational potential" for teens. And the American Academy of Pediatrics agrees writing "engaging in social media...is shown to benefit children and adolescents by enhancing communication, social connection and technical skills."
Even those warning of the dangers say there is no where, or way, to hide.
"That's certainly not going to work," McCarthy said, "Because I don't know about you but when I was a kid my mother told me not to go to the mall, I went."
Instead, the American Academy of Pediatrics wants parents to:
"I think it seems to be a staple in our society at this point," said Harley Morris, who's five year old son is in Stone's class. "And I think that it's something that can be used positively."

Grice caught touchdown throws of 37, 16 and 20 yards from Kelly, who threw for 308 yards and five TDs with no interceptions thanks to a steady diet of successful screen passes. He also tucked it and ran for 67 yards through huge chunks of open space all night long.
The Sun Devils (5-1, 3-0 Pac-12) will take a three-game winning streak into their showdown next week against second-ranked Oregon.
The Buffaloes fell to 1-5 and 1-2 in conference play heading into the toughest portion of their schedule.

He doesn't look bad in the jacket to his credit. He just looks about 15 years older than he really is. Like a more rugged version of tom arnold or something, I can't put my finger on it.

Denim on denim, especially in the same or similar washes is just a no-no. And a bulky, squared off, acid washed jacket no less? Yuck. I had a jacket just like that. It was 1989. It was jordache. I was 8. He could have gotten away with the jeans, with a sweater or a jacket of ANY other material.

(Hotels) I was shocked the first time I saw Matt in person. I was very disappointed. Frankly, he looks like any ole schmo that you might run into. I always thought he was so hot, but no... and this was before the jean jacket. Yikes.

Jean Jackets are cool. They have always been cool and will always be cool. Americans don't understand that they are cool all over the world. They look kills. He's trying to be a guys guy. And as I a guy I understand that. It's not just 80's style it's classic style. If it wasn't would Gap and Old Navy and every other clothing company continue to make them year after year. They are huge sellers. Mine is hanging up in my closet right now.

***UPDATED at 11:10 P.M. on Tuesday, March 26th***
A historic grocery store in the Laney-Walker neighborhood has closed. Laney Supermarket, formerly known as Gurley's, shut down early Tuesday morning.
The grocery store is located on Laney Walker Boulevard between 9th street and Summer Street. Marshal's served an eviction notice at the market early Tuesda morning... then dozens of folks showed up hoping to take home what was left over.
The Marshal's Office says that when an eviction takes place, any property that is left inside of a building becomes public property. So when people in the Laney-Walker area heard that the food from the grocery store was being set outside, they all showed up thinking they could take what they wanted. But then things took a different turn.
Tuesday afternoon, hundreds of people were waiting outside of Laney Supermarket... all hoping to stuff garbage bags with free food. The merchandise was piled up outside of the building after the store owner was evicted early Tuesday morning. But before anyone could grab anything, the Sheriff showed up.
"The normal process is once law enforcement leaves, it becomes public property. But again, with 400 people out with items such as these. These were brand new items from the store. We saw that the potential for a riot was extremely high," says Sheriff Richard Roundtree.
Zenard Pryor, a frequent shopper there, says that before deputies got there, he was helping the store owner remove items from the building.
"So he said, man you know, I'm fixing to get rid of all of this stuff, man, as long as you work, I ain't got not money to pay you all and stuff, as long as you work, you can get anything that you see that you want. That's what he said. So me and the dudes, we all get together and started working, cleaning up the building and stuff. We didn't know that the Police were going to come in, and Roundtree are going to come in here and say throw everything in the trash. That's wrong, man," says Pryor.
Many of the people become angry when they realized the food being loaded up in dump trunks would be taken to a landfill.
"You could have took the food to the church, you could have took the food to the food bank, you could have took the food anywhere. You all just throwing the food away cause we hungry, we ain't got nothing," says Onlooker Cisro Wallace.
Pryor says he tried to tell Sheriff Roundtree about his deal with the store owner... but he says it didn't work.
"This is a blessing, you don't just take a blessing from somebody that needs it. Know what I'm saying? He might have all this money jumping in different trucks and stuff like that, but we can't. So let us get that little bit," says Pryor.
The Marshall's Office says there was an arrest made at the scene, although, they say it is unrelated to Tuesday's events.
***POSTED at 6:25 P.M. on Tuesday, March 26th***
A historic Augusta supermarket closed its doors Tuesday morning. Laney Supermarket, formerly known as Gurley's shut down. The grocery store is located on Laney Walker Boulevard between 9th street and Summer Street.
The Richmond County Marshall's Office was there this morning to enforce an eviction. The Marshal's Office says that the tenant was being evicted by Sun Trust, the bank that owns the building.
Earlier this afternoon, word spread that the supermarket merchandise would be left outside of the building, and hundreds of people showed up to see if they could get some of the food. At that point, the Richmond County Sheriff's Office was called for crowd control.
Sheriff Richard Roundtree showed up at the Laney Supermarket to let the crowd know that the food would not be given away and that it was being hauled off to a landfill. That upset many of the bystanders, who say the food is needed in the inner-city Laney-Walker area. Many of them wanted to know why the food wasn't given to a homeless shelter or a food pantry.

I am asexual and will always be.I don't really see a need for sex to be honest, but I know that some people need it. I am also a lesbian or a homoromantic as some call it.

Labels, Experience, IncongruityI stumbled on this eye-opening line of inquiry after reading a story about a sexually frustrated asexual couple. The wife remained disinterested, the husband increasing depressed because of a new found interest in physical intimacy. That lead to some targeted Google searching...

Can anyone remember the name of the Virginia player that knocked Chris Weinke out of the remainder of the 1998 season? I remember it being a severe neck injury, and the team briefly feared paralysis. It more than likely cost FSU the NC vs Tennessee that year, but I cannot remember who it was. I thought it was somebody who ended up playing in the NFL. Thanks for your help.
Sorry, needed five more words.

Latin America & Caribbean Framework Announced to End Preventable Maternal & Child Deaths
Governments, Donors, & Civil Society Address Region's Health Inequalities
Panama, 12 September 2013—The Promise Renewed for the Americas conference concluded Thursday with a framework to accelerate the elimination of preventable maternal and child deaths in the region, which primarily affects poor, indigenous, rural, and other marginalized populations. Twentysix Latin American and Caribbean governments, seven international partners, and numerous civil society organizations signed the Declaration of Panama committing to this call to action.
The framework and declaration emphasize the need for a renewed focus on child and maternal health issues, which has waned in recent years. While Latin America and the Caribbean is one of the regions closest to reaching the Millennium Development Goals on child and maternal health by 2015, InterAgency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (IGME) found the region to be the one with least progress in the past five years.
"This unprecedented meeting brought the Americas together to focus on the evidence and solutions necessary to combat the great inequalities in health that we experience in our countries," said Dr. Violeta Menjivar, Vice-Minister of Health from El Salvador. "We have very challenging work ahead of us, but regional solidarity and the lessons learned by our neighbors will accelerate our progress."
The framework, which will serve as a regional guide for action and accountability, calls for key strategic shifts:
● Ensure universal coverage for basic health services
● Use multisectoral approaches to prevent health problems
● Improve data collection and analysis to select best solutions
● Increase participation by end users and providers in problem solving
● Improve collaboration among national and regional agencies
In developing countries, under-five mortality rates tend to be 50 percent higher in rural areas, whereas in Latin America it is 70 percent. Similarly, under-five mortality in the region is almost three times higher among the poorest quintile than the richest quintile, which is the worst ratio worldwide, where the average among developing regions is less than two times higher among the poorest quintile.
The meeting was hosted by the Government of Panama and sponsored by the following partners: The InterAmerican Development Bank (IDB), the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), the Salud Mesoamérica 2015 Initiative (SM2015), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Children's Fund Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (UNICEF), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the World Bank.
