I'm interesting in purchasing a Nikon D40 to go along with my Canon 350D and Panasonic FZ30, mainly to get a Nikon in my fold too lol!
I'd appreciate your views/comments especially from D40 owners who've been using it. I intend going for the Nikon 18-135mm lens to go with it. So pour it out pls ... pluses and minuses.
Without getting into a Nikon vs Canon debate, why start investing in kit which is incompatible with what you already have ? Surely the money would be better spent on additional lenses or other accessories to go with your existing gear. You risk ending up wanting to use a lens that fits one camera with a flash that's dedicated to the other, for example.
I'd sell the 350D - buy a 30D and add to your lenses.
Like the others, I don't see the point... You already have a Canon and lenses, so why not spend your money upgrading and improving the gear/system that you already have?
Got to agree with all that has been said " Why mix your brands " one body type is much the same as the other, I'd go with Dan's idea and get yerself a 30D, IF you must upgrade your camera body, BUT an investment in a really good lens for the 350D will probably yeald you better value for money, TRY something like a Canon 17 - 40 L, lens and be prepared to be blown away by what your 350D can do with some decent glass.
I am speaking from the Nikon camp by the way, So this comment is not Canon biased, You can pick up a 17-40 L for around the £400 quid mark.
While on the one hand yes it will be incompatible with your current system, on the other hand you do get one bonus. Having a Nikon body means you could use Nikon only optics, for example defocus control lenses, or a decent superzoom like the 18-200.
Having said that if you're just going for the D40 + 18-135mm I dont see why you'd do that, surely Canon have something similar?
Thank you all for your interesting feedback.
While not wishing to depart from the 350D (which is a very good camera and serves me well), nor from the FZ30 (a good handy quick shooter), I am still tempted to branch out into another DSLR system. Just for the record, I am no pro and classify myself as an advanced amateurist, so photography to me is mostly fun and experimentation. As I see it, enjoying the best of both worlds (Canon and Nikon) should lead to interesting comparisons reviewing results from both cameras on my PC screen.
My initial query remains unaddressed so far - I requested feedback/comments on the Nikon D40 as a camera, and views on the Nikon 18-135mm lens. Shoot them down if need be, both D40 owners and would-be D40 buyers, or Nikon owners if need be ... I am simply after frank opinions on the camera and lens, without wanting to create or overspill onto the typical Canon vs Nikon perennial debate.
So, therefore, I would sincerely appreciate objectivity on my topic raised.
Thanks and regards to you all,

Well going by your PF, you are using the 350D with kit lens only, and IMO buying another (incompatible & lower spec) DSLR at this stage is pointless. Spend the money on one really good lens.
The D40 is a capable camera for the money - question answered

JOHNSON CITY (AP) - East Tennessee State University officials have fired the university's postal services manager for opening a package that was addressed to a student.
Through an open records request, the Johnson City Press reported Harvey Byerley opened a suspicious package that came into the campus post office Nov. 19 and then called campus police, who notified the First District Drug Task Force.
The school records do not show what was in the package or who it was addressed to. However the newspaper reported court documents show the mail supervisor at ETSU intercepted a package on that date addressed to Marcus Dubose and that the material inside was believed to be marijuana.
Dubose and his roommate, Sheldon Cooley, now face drug charges and both have been dropped from the ETSU men's basketball team.

Hi everyone.i'm planning on building a 383 chevy stroker for my c3 "71" corvette.I am still in the blueprinting fase and would like some input from experienced people.I have worked on cars before (mostly europeans), and have a lot of tools.I also went through the different books from david vizard and the 350 rebuild book.The engine has to run on pump gas, (98 or 95 octane), is solely gonna be used for street use on a sunday.i was thinking of this set-up (borrowed from d. Vizard):- 350 chevy (4bolt) from aaeq, then bored 0.030 (ofcourse) and decked 9.000-scat rotating assembly, hypereutectic pistons 0.030 oversize , 9000 series crank, 7/16 premium rods-stock pan and reworked oilpump-heads: dart top end kit (but i'm not sure wich yet (180cc port)-edelbrock performer intake,800cfm edelbrock carb-hei distributor-valvetrain:comp986 or beehives, aluminum 1.6 rockers (intake & exh),comp magnum pushrods,comp812-16 hydraulic flat tappet lifters,and a comp extreme energy hydraulic flat tappet single pattern 270 (106lca nd 4° advance)with a 3200 comp timing set.Will i have to worry about additional block clearance with these rods and what bearings to use for the crank and cam?anything to take in to account when using hydraulic lifters? As far as gaskets go i'm considering felpro.do these rotating assemblies need balancing?any other comments or remarks are welcome.Some questions might seem dumb , but there isn't really a big scene around muscle cars here so there aren't that much good engine builders around here so it has to be a DIY. -
Welcome to the site JGRP,You will run into clearance issues, but grinding will remedy that problem.A small base circle cam usually takes care of rod/cam interference, depending on lobe lift of the cam.Grinding a little on the head of the rod bolt, again will solve that situation.

+1 Tuff. JGRP welcome to CHP.If you need more information go to.http://www.cartechbooks.com/1.You didn't mention if you have an automatic, or a manual trans. But that year Corvette I'm guessing a 4 Speed Trans.2.Scat says those assemblies are all balanced. I've seen then out enough to cause problems. I would first find a very reputable guy that really knows engine balancing. Take all your reciprocating parts to to him. The Scat assembly, clutch, pressure plate, anything that rotaes in your engine. My views of balancing is very simple. If your engine will see RPM speeds from idle to 6,000RPM a nuetral balance will work fine. Over and above that RPM overbalancing is the way to go. But talk to your balance tech. See what he recommends. If you have any questions ask.One other thing. You mentioned a Dumb Question. I don't see any questions as being dumb or stupid. Only dumb or stupid answers....Bob
Waw, i didn't expect such good answers in such a short time span. Thx for the clearance sheets! i added them to my notes.I have a good engine revision shop nearby with years of experience where i am planning to have the block washed, inspected, bored and have the assembly balanced.those extra few bucks don't count up against a blown engine.I have to admit my knowledge is pretty slim on transmissions,but it is a 4 speed.Will it handle the extra torque or is it advisable to upgradeto another one?
Chances are good that your 4 speed is a Muncie M-20 or M-21 close or wide ratio.The M-22 is also a close ratio, but was an extra cost option and designed for road racing.The Muncie was in production until the end of the 1973 model year, when the Borg Warner Super T-10 replaced it.The Muncie is plenty strong and held up to Big Block power.

Go to AFR look at the HP you would like & copy one of their builds. That is what was done on my 1973 Vega. Copied the blown 690 hp build & it is awesome.
1973 Vega 383 Stroker
+1Following a tried and true example is the best idea for a novice engine builder, that lacks testing facilities and funds, for trial and error methods.
When The Flag Drops.,. The Bull ***t Stops.,. P. Engineer, Engine Builder
Hi there, If you do not own a 800 cfm carb for the 383 then don't bother..Even a 725 road Demon is plenty for your needs. Good luck with the plan.

here is my entry for the twins print contest. the idea is very simple: vote on your favorite at-bat music from the following list of twins (with links to listen):
1. jacque jones, 2005: "game over" by lil' flip, u gotta feel me 2004. when the angels were in town last weekend, torii hunter had this to say about jacque: "He's changed. For the better. He's way more mature. He's humbled." jones is currently hitting .274/.317/.381for rochester, so i think we can say its unlikely he'll get another shot at the big's this year. but here's hoping jacque's still "connected like dub and Mach-10 with ice cubes in my watch"
It's 'bout time 'cause hip-hop need a make over (But you don't hear me)
Most producers want to charge too much
But around my way that's how you get fucked up (But you don't hear me)
You might think we all beats and rhymes
But way before this rap shit, nigga, the streets was mine (But you don't hear me)
I got that hot shit, that "Thug Life" 'Pac shit
That get hot shit, that B.I.G. "Ready to Die" shit
2. jason kubel, 2010: sabotage, by beastie boys, ill communication 1994. i don't know about you, but nothing evokes images of aging new york jew rap-punks like the sight of jason kubel's thinning neck beard. interestingly, kubel originally requested "super villain" by powerman 5000 in spring training from twins' music director kevin dutcher, but changed his mind after seeing a hypnotist to help him cope with the spring training heat put on by the left-handed likes of jim thome, justin morneau, and joe mauer (so they say...). in any case, i think the change was for the better, because the beastie boys, in their own words, can rock a party till your hair turns gray.
And We Can Bet So Don't You Get Souped Yet
You're Scheming On A Thing That's A Mirage
I'm Trying To Tell You Now It's Sabotage
Why; Our Backs Are Now Against The Wall
Listen All Of Y'all It's A Sabotage
3. corey koskie, 2004: tom sawyer by rush, moving pictures 1981. be it snatching a hot shot down the line or blasting a ball over left field wall, rush's canadian music always seemed prescient to the softspoken canadian 3rd basemen's play. to me, koskie composed himself like a guy who fixed his sights firmly on winning a world series, a true professional. no, his mind is not for rent, to any god or government -but it is highly susceptible to concussion, sadly. so, here's to corey koskie, for the memories that we can only hope are still intact.
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you
4. matthew lecroy, 2004:"the south's gonna do it again," by charlie daniels band, super hits 1989. What can you say about country music? it certainly evidences a blissful, oft-brokenhearted people. and perhaps no better example of a man exists than lecroy, who could be counted on to give 100%, even if his best wasn't always good enough. but it wasn't always this way- lecroy originally came out to the "The Sopranos" theme ("Woke up This Morning" by Alabama 3). kevin dutcher, twins music director, saw that lecroy's poor performance wasn't matching his potential, and unilaterally instituted the daniels' tune himself haflway through the season. The first night lecroy came out to the song, he went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI, and finished the 2004 season with a respectable .269/.321/.424.the song stuck.
So gather 'round, gather 'round chillun'
Get down, well just get down chillun'
Get loud, well you can be loud and be proud
Well you can be proud, hear now
Be proud you're a rebel
'Cause the South's gonna do it again and again

Packers veteran Harris is anxious to return to action
GREEN BAY -- As desperately as Al Harris wants to play as soon as possible -- including Sunday, against the Indianapolis Colts at Lambeau Field -- the Packers veteran cornerback can't lie.
Out since Sept. 21 with a lacerated spleen suffered against the Dallas Cowboys in a collision with teammate A.J. Hawk, Harris' desire to return to action is in spite of an admitted fear that what could have been a career- and life-threatening injury could happen again.
"I'm still scared, right now. But the odds of it happening again are unlikely," Harris said. "I may be wrong. But I'm going to give it a shot once the doctors clear me."
That may not be this week, but it figures to be after the team's Week 8 bye, meaning Harris could be back on the field Nov. 1 at Tennessee, after missing only four games.
Although coach Mike McCarthy classified him as "doubtful" for Sunday, Harris did take part in practice on a limited basis Wednesday, working in the early-practice jog-through session and in individual drills.
"Al and I talked again at practice. He feels great. Mentally he feels he could play," McCarthy said. "We're just going to follow the direction of the doctors."
And their clearance cannot come soon enough for Harris, despite whatever reservations he may have. He'd never missed a regular-season game in his 11-year NFL career before the team's Sept. 28 game at Tampa Bay, and it was a struggle when he had to spend that first week following the injury at home doing nothing but convalescing.
Not that the time off didn't yield one dividend.
"I found a new restaurant in Green Bay, a really good spot - Urban Frog. Have you been there? It's good. I'd go there every day," Harris said. "So, it hasn't been total loss."
He was joking, we think. But all kidding aside, the good news for Harris is that his spleen was scanned Monday morning - a day after Harris missed his third consecutive game, the Packers' 27-17 victory at Seattle - and the tests showed "significant improvement."
"So obviously we are moving in the right direction," McCarthy said.
During the Packers' 27-16 loss to the Cowboys, Harris was initially thought to be suffering from cramps. Then, he found blood in his urine, which led to fears that the spleen had ruptured, which would have ended his season.
Instead, though Harris missed the Packers' game against the Buccaneers, snapping his streak of 175 straight games played (including playoffs), multiple doctors conferred and decided that Harris' injury wasn't severe enough to require surgery.
But it did require Harris to rest for seven days, something that didn't sit well with a guy who'd asked doctors to simply remove his spleen immediately after the injury because he thought it would allow him to play.
"The first week, I couldn't do anything. It was just rest. And I suck at that," said Harris, who'd last sat out a game in 1997, when he was on the Buccaneers' practice squad. "But I had to do it, so I did. I sat home and rested. I'm just thankful they didn't have to take my spleen out or anything like that."
Harris was cleared to do light workouts - small weights and cardio on the elliptical trainer - after that, which wasn't enough for him, either.
"It's been hard, not being able to prepare every week (for a game). You're so used to preparing and used to doing one thing every day, my whole day, I've had to literally make up a different schedule to keep my days (tolerable)," Harris said. "Because I've been having the same schedule for so long: Go to practice, workout, go home, eat, maybe get another workout in, study and then go to sleep."
Harris said he's been impressed with the way nickelback Tramon Williams has played in his stead - he's had an interception in each of his three starts in Harris' place - but said his return would give the Packers' defense a boost.
"I'm definitely anxious to get back out there. I think I can help," Harris said, singling out the play of Williams and veteran cornerback Charles Woodson, who continues to play with a broken toe on his right foot.
"The guys are doing a great job, but I'm anxious."

This is huge if he can come back. Young players tend to falter late in the season while seasoned vets only get better. Depth is amazing even though Tramon is kicking ass. Speaking of Tramon, here is his new web site. www.38reasons.com

text: Jason Hanson just hasnt been as clutch as he use to be, just wanted to get some thoughts on the subject. Is their anybody worth drafting? Last year he missed some easy Field Goal's. I sure wish he could have kicked a last second Superbowl winning Field Goal for the Lions. I expect to take a lot heat over this one but he will always be remembered as one of the greatest Lions ever in my book.

New Visitor Facilities
NPS photo Steve Collector
Several of the long-term goals defined in the 1980 Development Concept Plan (DCP) approved for Giant Forest related to redefining visitor use and improving visitor experience. Giant Forest would become a day-use area only, with food service and overnight facilities relocated outside the grove. Access to Giant Forest's best-known features would be limited to shuttle service or walking. No private automobiles would be allowed to park in the grove, and visitor parking would be consolidated into a single parking structure at the Wolverton corrals. Dispersed, non-vehicular exploration of Giant Forest would be encouraged in order to provide visitors with significant opportunities to interact with giant sequoias on foot rather than from vehicles.
Parking would be retained within the grove primarily in three reconstructed parking lots in Upper and Lower Kaweah and the Wolverton service yard. Small parking areas accessible to visitors with disabilities would be constructed near the Giant Forest museum, the Round Meadow area, and the Sherman Tree. A shuttle system would be implemented to allow overnight visitors at Wuksachi Village and Lodgepole to visit Giant Forest without bringing their vehicles to the grove, and to allow day users parked at Wolverton or the Museum to connect to other features of the grove. The trail system throughout the grove would be improved and tied in to new patterns of parking.
Did You Know?
Although California's state flag has a grizzly bear on it, no grizzlies live in California anymore. The last known grizzly in the state was shot in 1922 just outside what is now Kings Canyon National Park. The remaining bears are all black bears -- no matter what color they are.

MCYSA League Handbook
<< Previous Section .. Table of Contents ... Next Section >>
7. Game Day
7.1 Preliminaries
If you are the home team, check the condition of the field early. If it is unplayable, in the opinion of the person in your club who makes such decisions, the other team, the Referee Assignor and the assigned referee must be notified no later than two hours before the scheduled start of the game. Otherwise, you, your team and the visiting team are obliged to appear as scheduled. The referee will then decide whether field conditions are such as to play or postpone the game. If the referee is not notified of a game postponement at least two hours before the scheduled start of the game, he/she is entitled to be paid.
The home team should also check that:
· The field is lined
· The goal posts and nets are in place & anchored to the ground
· The corner flags are provided
· A game ball is available
All coaches should check that:
· The player and coach passes are in order
· The Game Card is correctly filled out
7.2 Travel and Grace Periods
If you are traveling, know where the field is and how long it will take to get there. Arrive at least 30 minutes before kick-off to warm up and check in. The home team is allowed a 15 minute grace period and the visiting team is allowed 30 minutes in which to field a legal team consisting of the minimum number of players required in their Divisions as set forth in Section 7.3. At site games, all teams are considered to be visitors. The grace period may be extended with the consent of both teams and the referee. At the expiration of the grace period and any extensions thereof, the referee shall complete the game card indicating that one of the teams did not appear and forward the game card information to the Games Chair using the online MCYSA REFEREE GAME REPORT form on our website.. The Games Chair will declare a forfeit. No game should be started or abandoned without waiting 30 minutes for the referee.
It should be remembered that the intent of the League is to have the outcome of matches decided on the field of play and not by the capricious application of this rule. On the other hand all teams have a duty to arrive at the field promptly. Delays can cause problems with later games.
7.3 Number of Players and Ball Size
number of players for a Division I, II, III or IV game is 11 max, 7 min.
A size 5
ball shall be used in Division I, II and III games.
7.4 Before the Game Starts
Prior to the start of the game make sure you have filled out the Game Card (Report).
Also be sure that you have your player passes. Players will not be allowed to play without a valid player pass. If you have any doubts about an opposing player's eligibility, you may raise them with the referee before the start of play or the entry of the challenged player into the match. Challenged players shall be permitted to participate. The referee will note the challenge on the game card. Protests may be filed with the league regarding events involving challenged players.
Players who will be late should be identified. If they arrive before the start of the second half, they must present themselves to the referee, together with their player pass. Players arriving after the start of the second half, will not be allowed to participate in the match, unless the team is playing with fewer than 11 in a full sided game or 8 in a small sided game.
The coach should assign captains to represent their team and participate in the tossing of the coin to determine kickoff/field half. In the older Divisions, the captains are often permanent. They must understand that their role is to control their team and not represent them in objecting to referee calls. Neither FIFA nor the MCYSA recognize the concept of "Speaking Captains".
7.4.4 Assistant Referees (Linespersons)
Prior to the game, if assistant referees have not been assigned, each team shall provide to the referee a person to act as an assistant referee, commonly known as a linesperson. The referee will instruct the linespersons as to their duties. This is usually to indicate when the ball goes over the touch line by raising a flag that will be provided by the referee. These linespersons should not coach the team from this position and should be adults.
At check in, the referee shall detach a Referee Evaluation Form from the game card and return it to each coach, having filled in his or her name on the form. If the referee does not do so, ask for it. This form is crucially important in evaluating our referees. Coaches are to submit this information online after each game using the Coaches Game Score and Referee Evaluation form. Your comments will be reviewed by the MCYSA Senior Referee.
Commencing with the Fall 2004 season referee fees are split between the two teams for ALL games. Each team is responsible for having sufficient funds available for each game. Commencing with the Fall 2010 season, Division IV games will have Multi Referee Systems assigned to their games. The current referee fee structure has been updated:

The referee has the final word on field conditions, markings, nets, corner flags, balls, weather, players and time.
7.5 During the Game
7.5.1 Positioning on the Sides of the Field
Players and coaches having proper coaches' cards from both teams shall occupy one side of the field. The parents and spectators of both teams shall occupy the opposite side of the field. A team shall he permitted to have no more than three (3) carded coaches on the side with players and coaches, one of whom may be a carded "Youth Trainer." A "Youth Trainer" is a trainer under the age of 18 working with a coach. A minor will not be issued a coach's pass and may not be left with a team without proper adult supervision (coach). An "F" license is required to be a "Youth Trainer." The "Youth Trainer" pass is free and may be obtained from the NJYSA Office. A "Player/Coach Status Form" marked "Youth Trainer" should accompany the pass to be validated by the District Commissioner.
The home team will choose which side of the field the teams / coaches will be on as well as which end of the field (on which side of mid field) their players / coaches will be. Coaches must remain on their end of the field within 10 yards of mid field.
If no Assistant Referee is in attendance, a club linesman shall be permitted on the side with players and coaches
7.5.2 Coach and Spectator Conduct
Coaching is to be done within the area described above. This area shall constitute the "technical area". Substitutions should be done from the half way line, taking players off before sending players on. Running the length of the touchline is not permitted. Encouraging and complimenting players is definitely supported. Coaches must remain in the technical area and may convey tactical instructions to players during the game.
Good sportsmanship is a major objective both on and off the field. MCYSA will take disciplinary action against coaches and clubs who have fan behavior problems. The players, spectators, referee, or assistant referees should not be subjected to poor behavior from the sidelines. If the referee does not get the cooperation of those at the game to conduct themselves in a sporting manner, the referee may abandon the match. The circumstances will be reported to the MCYSA Discipline Chair. Our youth deserve the best competition in the best sporting environment.
Spectators, players and coaches should stand back from the touchline about 5 Yards. This important space conveys a sense of detachment from the field action.
No alcoholic beverages of any kind are permitted at league games.
It is the responsibility of all teams to favorably represent their Clubs by being presentably attired at the games. This envisions a team with identical shirts bearing individual player numbers on the back, shorts, and over-the-calf socks.
As required by FIFA, players are expected to have their shirts tucked in, socks pulled up and shoes tied. The referee has been instructed to enforce this dress code.
Club colors shall be as set forth in Section 2.8.
Goalkeepers will wear a color to distinguish themselves from the field players. They need not wear a numbered jersey. They may wear long pants, gloves, pads, or soft billed cap.
Shoes must be of the soccer type. Baseball cleats are not allowed.
To protect players, and as required by FIFA, shin guards are mandatory for MCYSA competitions.
The referee will insure that all players are wearing shin guards and are safely attired as part of the inspection of player equipment before the start of the match. No player shall be allowed to play without shin guards.
No player shall be permitted to play while wearing jewelry of any type, except religious items and medical alert devices, all of which shall be taped to the body.
In cold weather, players may wear warm garments under their shirts. Division IV, V. and VI players may wear sweat pants under the shorts. Matching colors are recommended.
Players may wear gloves or knee pads with the permission of the referee. Cut-off sweat pants and such worn beneath the shorts must not extend below the shorts. Slide pants (Spandex) worn under player shorts may extend below the shorts but must match the color of the player's shorts.
Sweat bands, hair ties and such may be worn when the referee determines that they are property secured and do not pose a distraction to others or give an advantage to the wearer.
Medical items such as knee braces may be permitted when no metal is exposed and the referee feels they meet safety requirements. No casts are of any type are allowed, padded or not.
7.5.4 Game Conditions and Game Duration
The referee has the final word on field conditions, markings, nets. corner flags, ball, weather, players and time.
The duration of the games are:
The time is maintained by the referee who may add playing time to make up for injuries or significant delays that have occurred. Substitutions are made with the clock running.
The League policy is that free substitution is permitted during the entire game. Unlimited substitutions may be made by either team:
In addition, in Div 1-3 any player receiving a caution must leave the field, the coach has the option to replace the player or play down until the next stoppage of play. At the next stoppage of play, the team playing down may with the referees permission, substitute a player. In divisions 4-6, a player receiving a yellow card may be substituted for at the option of his/her coach during the stoppage of play when the caution is given.
Substitutions are done only with the referee's permission. When done to delay the game, the referee may refuse permission. Substitution is done while the clock runs, players off before on, at the halfway line.
7.5.6 Suspended and Abandoned Games
If the referee must abandon the game due to weather or field conditions and the first half of the game has been competed plus the half time rest period, the game will be considered a complete game and the score will stand. Otherwise, the entire game must be replayed. Every attempt shall be made to complete every game.
If the referee abandons the game at any time during the match due to discipline problems, the MCYSA Discipline Committee will decide the outcome of the game.
7.6 After the Game
MCYSA recommends that players shake hands with their opponents after the game. The handshake should occur at the halfway line. It is good form for coaches to shake hands with each other and the referee. Captains and older players typically shake hands with referees.
The post-game hand shake at the halfway line between opposing teams and coaches is a soccer tradition. It should be observed in MCYSA. Hopefully the game will have been conducted in such away that the handshake will be a meaningful exercise. If it is not, then we have failed a little, and all parties need to re-think their motives for participation in the great game of Soccer.
Coaches shall submit the Referee Evaluation to the Senior Referee via the online Score Report and Referee Evaluation form on our website. (Game Score report and Referee Evaluation are included in the Score Report & Referee Evaluation submission form.)
At the end of the game make sure that the Referee has the correct score recorded on both game cards. Each coach must sign both cards to confirm the game result. The Referee is responsible for mailing the Discipline Report to the Discipline Chair immediately after the game. Referees are to submit the game report section to the Games Chair using the online MCYSA REFEREE GAME REPORT form on our website. If there is no official referee, both coaches must sign and mail their respective game reports. The results listed on the game reports are the official result of the game. Your signature is your acceptance of the score as reported on the game card.
In the event a team does not arrive to play the game, the referee will mail the game report to the Games Chair, or, in the event there was no referee, the coach of the team which was present will mail his/her game report to the Games Chair.
Be sure to obtain the return of your player passes and coach's passes from the referee.
Both coaches must report the game results the evening of the game date via the online Score Report and Referee Evaluation on our website. (Game Score report and Referee Evaluation are included in the Score Report & Referee Evaluation submission form.) Games not reported within two weeks of the game date will be recorded as unplayed and listed as a Double Forfeit.
The home team shall also contact the Games Chair if a game has not been played and shall state the reason why.

Broncos beat Evansville; Into semis of CBI
Boise puts the game away late to get past the Purple Aces 76-69 in the quarterfinal round of the CBI. Ryan Watkins sets a new career high with 18 points while Montreal contributes 14. Anderson hits 9/12 from the line and adds 11. 51% shooting 84% from the line and a +11 rebound margin are enough to overcome 16 turnovers. Next up I think is UCF. You know the team that kid with last name Jordan, the son of Michael Jordan...Marcus Jordan was 2-11 for the night with 4 points in a win against Rhode Island. Update: Due to reseeding, Broncos will play Oregon, in Oregon on Wed 6pm.

VICKSBURG, Miss. (KNOE 8 News/AP) - Bail has been denied to three people who are alleged to have shot an elderly couple during a home invasion on Jan. 14.
Warren County Court Judge Johnny Price held a hearing Tuesday.
Sheriff Martin Pace says 20-year-old Rodriquez Lenez Lyons, 23-year-old Tierre Jante Hill and a 17-year-old are each charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of armed robbery and burglary.
Pace says a 78-year-old man and his 74-year-old wife were shot during the robbery. The couple has not been identified. Both are recovering from their wounds.
Authorities say the couple had left a casino and were followed home by the three men. Prosecutors say investigators identified the car the men were riding in from casino surveillance.

On the other side of the South sally port of the Lubbock County jail, the kitchen has been completely gutted. County commissioners told NewsChannel 11 Tuesday there was no way to avoid the cost of fixing the broken down kitchen. They have a jail to run and have more than 700 mouths to feed.
Hunt Elementary School hasn't been open for two years, but there's a lot cooking going on inside the closed down school. About 11 to 12 inmates are shipped over to Hunt Elementary daily to cook for the more than 700 inmates at the Lubbock County jail.
The reason? Twenty year-old cast iron pipes that have corroded causing the jail's kitchen to be ripped apart. "It was getting to where we could not get the sewer out of the kitchen and this was a health issue," said County Commissioner James Kitten.
Kitten says Lubbock Independent School District shut down Hunt Elementary two years ago and were willing to lend the building to the county....at a price. It's costing the county $4,000 to rent the school for four months. And the county also has to spend another $12,000 on two trucks to transport the food to the jail. On top of that, the construction will cost $400,000. A total cost to you of $416,000.
"This is just another thing that's popped up that emphasizes the need for a new jail. I'm sure there are some other areas of the jail that will require attention in the near future," said Jail Director Jim Gross.
The county says they exhausted all their options before making this decision and found this route was the cheapest to the tax payers. The new jail, which will cost around $83 million dollars, will be finished in three years.

Ki Tavo: Grouchy & The Infectious Smile
The ball went flying behind us into the backyard of the house just next to the school. I was going to climb through the hedges to reclaim my "pinky" ball but everyone yelled, "Stop! You can't go there. Grouchy lives there!"
Thank God, I listened. Grouchy came flying out the back door just waiting for his next victim to devour!
I noticed that Grouchy had a tattoo of numbers on his arm, just like Ben, the school-bus driver, and most of the teachers and rabbeim. In fact, almost all the parents I knew had similar tattoos. I was jealous because neither of my parents, and none of my grandparents had tattoos. My doctor had one, as did my dentist. The butcher had one, and so did the barber, and my building's super. It seemed like most adults had numbers. I wondered how old you had to be to get one. After all, my parents were already ancient and they didn't have numbers. My grandparents were beyond ancient; they were from a different century, and they didn't get to have tattoos either.
I met Grouchy one day at the bus stop and he was very nice. "Why are you so scared of me?" "Because, you're so grouchy!"
"You would also be grouchy if you had one of these," he said pointing to his tattoo. When he saw the blank look in my face, he explained who tattooed him, where and when. I still tear when I remember his story. The Germans tortured and killed his wife and children in front of his eyes before sending him to a place called Treblinka.
Grouchy and I became friends. I asked the other kids to stop calling him Grouchy and retold his story. The most common response was: "My parents' story is worse and they are not grouchy!"
I thought of Grouchy this morning on my daily walk. There is a man who looks just like Grouchy who never greets any of the other walkers. He refuses to move aside for anyone, despite the unspoken rule that you always walk to the right. I greet him every morning with a big smile and he refuses to acknowledge me. His grouchiness is infectious. It affects my mood.
This morning I saw his tattoo when I past him on my first lap, and remembered Grouchy.
There is another man I see every morning who is the polar opposite. He has the most beautiful smile and he greets everyone. We all call him "Smiley". He lifts my mood even more than Grouchy ruins it. I passed him just after passing Grouchy and I was so infected by his smile that I decided to try again with my new Grouchy. "Good morning! How are you this wonderful morning?"
He stopped, looked at me, noticed my Curious George t-shirt and laughed. "Good morning to you." Smiley infected me with his smile and I was finally able to infect Grouchy.
The power of a smile. No wonder God asks us to smile when we serve Him: "Because you did not serve God, your Lord, amid gladness and goodness of heart." (Deuteronomy 28:47) The bible is describing the most horrible curses and explains that they will come because we are, well, so grouchy when we serve Him!
Imagine if everyone walked around with Smiley's infectious smile when serving God! Awesome!

Perhaps that is what we're being taught in Avot d'Rabi Natan 13;4 "hevei m'kabeil et col ha'Adam b'seiver panim yafot" greet the entire Adam (family of Man?)with an outpouring of beautiful expression.
The Mishna asks – what does this mean? A person who even if he gives his friend all the best gifts in the world yet the giver's countenance is 'underground' => it's as if he gave him nothing. However, a person who greets his friend with a shining countenance – even if he gave him nothing ==> it's as if he gave him all the best gifts in the world.
"D'varim ha'yotz'im min haLev nichnasim el haLev" Heartfelt words emanating from one person will enter another's heart.
"B'Seiver panim yafot"- why add the word "b'Seiver", wouldn't "panim yafot" a beautiful face be sufficient? The difference is quite significant.It is not enough to "put on a happy face"=> This can be quite offputting to the viewer if one feels the smile is an empty gesture. "b'Seiver" comes from S'vara = thoughtful ==> When the recipient of a smile feels the shining countenance is emanating from the inside, from the deepest depths of the smiler's heart, then it enters the heart.
"Takhshov tov => y'h'yeh tov!!!"

Grand Island community members will get a chance to see the proposed Grand Island Downtown Revitalization Plan and ask questions about the project.
The presentation will be held Tuesday, March 12, at 1:30 p.m. at the Grand Theatre, 316 W. Third St.
Alley Poyner Macchietto Architectural Design Firm, lead consultants for the project, will be giving the presentation and then answering questions about the plan.
Community Development Administrator Marco Floreani said, "The plan is a vision
of how downtown Grand Island can be revitalized and includes many strategies in
making downtown a more vibrant and active place in our community." Input from the community has already been taken and combined with the design firm's ideas to make the current plan.
The city of Grand Island would like to hear input about the presentation from all citizens, not just downtown business owners and residents.
The presentation will also be shown at the city council meeting later that same night at 7 p.m. Citizens are also invited to attend this meeting or watch the presentation on Grand Island Television, Charter Communications channel 6 or analog 56. A live stream of the presentation will also be available at www.grand-island.com/gitvstreaming.
Phase one of the planning process will be complete with the presentation of the Downtown Revitalization Plan. Phase one included $30,000 in grant funding as part of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (NDED), with a $20,000 match from the city of Grand Island and Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) #8.
Phase two will be the implementation of the plan. As part of this phase, the city of Grand Island will submit a $350,000 grant application for implementation funds for elements of the Downtown Revitalization Plan. The grant will be submitted to the NDED at the end of March.

By Ben Watson - bio | email
MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - Visitors to the park in Court Square will see people enjoying themselves. Police said things are very different there from several months ago.
"The park, several months back, was inundated with undesirable elements," said Col. Robert Shemwell with the Memphis Police Department. "People coming and drinking, fighting and urinating."
All the problems were a surprise to officials at the new charter school that opened earlier this year on the edge of the park.
"Our problem was we wanted students to learn on the inside as well as the outside," said Elana Ragsdale with New Consortium of Law and Business Charter School.
School officials said problems in the park prevent them from taking students there for nature classes and other outdoor events. Police found out and moved to clean up the park.
"What we decided to do is a partnership with Center City Commission Public Safety," said Shemwell.
That partnership led to a uniform bike patrol and a beefed up police presence in the area. Police also said surveillance cameras in the park have been a big help. Officers said ever since they put the cameras in the park, crime has gone down.
"I would say those cameras probably reduced crime and the undesirable element by at least 50 to 60 percent," said Shemwell.
The school and others in the neighborhood called the presence of officers a blessing.
"Now that the change has happened, we really feel like the police are really protecting us with their presence," said Ragsdale.

Now gather around my children and you will hear the legend of (cue scary music now)..."The Curse of the Astrodome". It all started back when the Oilers used to play in the Astrodome. Now legend has it that Billy Graham was coming to town and wanted to hold the Crusade in the Astrodome. Well, since the Oilers were scheduled to play there that weekend, Uncle Bud gave him the (cue scary music now) "double bird salute". Said something about not wanting to change the schedule...rather than playimg the game on the road, instead. Rumor has it that God put a curse on the Astrodome (even the Astros couldn't win there!). And from that time forward...these teams were cursed as long as they played there! EXAMPLE: The debacle in Buffalo (cue Uncle Bud's famous flip off now) that still stands as the biggest CHOKE in NFL history. EXAMPLE: Mike Renfro catching the game winning pass in the endzone that the refs called him out of bounds (playoff game against the dreaded Steelers....cue Bum Phillips saying "next year we'll KICK IT IN!") which was THE play that lead to the NFL coming up with the INSTANT REPLAY that we have all come to know & love today.
So you see boys and girls, the Oilers had to get out of the Astrodome...and when the city gave Uncle Bud the double bird...they had no choice but to leave. But thank God, the people of Tenn. took them into their hearts and homes...and at last the curse was broken! EXAMPLE: TITANS GO TO THE SUPERBOWL!!! And with God on our side NOW...who do we have to fear? (except Peyton). So play on young Titans....THE VICTORY IS YOURS!!
P.S. The Lord told me that He forgives Uncle Bud...and that He is waiting with open arms when he decides to confess his sins and repent (and from the way you look in your last pic, Uncle Bud, I'd use the "hurry up offense" on this one). May God bless Tenn. & the Titans!!!

NASHVILLE (AP) - King Pharmaceuticals LLC has agreed to pay $2.2 million and comply with the Clean Air Act to resolve a complaint filed by federal prosecutors over emissions from its Bristol facility.
The U.S. Department of Justice said Friday that half the settlement will go to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
According to the complaint, the Bristol plant failed to properly operate an air pollution control device, which allowed hazardous air pollutants to be vented directly into the atmosphere from 2002 to 2006. The plant's emission rate for methylene chloride well exceeded the limits allowed, the complaint said.
The settlement also requires the company to apply for a permit requiring additional air pollution controls and demonstrate compliance with federal law.
A spokesperson for King parent Pfizer Inc. did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

"But they had no pressure on them!"
The brilliant Joe Posnanski deals with this question, in the context of the MVP races in baseball. The next time you hear someone yammer about how little pressure there was on Long Island after Woevember, this article is your one-stop ammo depot for firing back. So, trying to break a 1-20 streak and prove to your city, your fans, your opponents, your league, and your sport's media voices that you are a professional and viable NHL franchise, not a punchline or doormat = no pressure! Riiiiiiiight.

Transition for Assumption is Paine-less
Fri. May 18, 2012 at 7:12 p.m. | By Teddy Renois/Staff Writer

Sixth in a 13-part series
NAPOLEONVILLE — Nothing was different for the Assumption Mustangs during their spring practices except for the man in charge.
The Mustangs completed their first spring training under the guidance of first-year coach Anthony Paine.
Paine, who was an assistant coach for three years at Assumption, replaced former coach Don Torres, who retired from the school system.
Paine, a 1999 graduate of Assumption, said that when he came to work at Assumption, his upcoming senior class was freshmen, and that has made his transition to head coach easy.
"The transition has gone well. I've been with those guys when they came in as freshmen," Paine said. "I haven't changed the practice plan or our weight program, those things are the same. The transition has gone as well as I expected. We had some bumps in the road, but we handled those things as they came up."
The Mustangs had 75 players out for football and besides a few minor injuries, Paine said that the team has finished spring relatively injury-free.
"I think (spring) went well. We accomplished a couple of major goals. The first (goal) is we didn't get anybody hurt," Paine said. "We taught a lot of the basics and got the players a lot of work. The main thing was not to get any of our perceived starters injured. We taught the young guys, and retaught the older ones in fundamentals and how Mustang football should be played."
While spring practice was relatively the same, Mustangs offensive lineman Hunter Alleman said that he noticed some difference in way of intensity.
"I think he is going to do good. He's been here a few years, and he wants to bring the program where it used to be and continue our tradition," Alleman said. "The practices have been hard, and he is pushing us, but he know how to work us. We got some new people (as starters), but we will be OK once the season rolls around."
Assumption linebacker Arrion Sargent said that he sees a difference off the field more than on the field.
"I don't see any changes, and that is a good thing. The defense is coming along, and we are working hard," Sargent said. "Coach Paine knows all of us. He knows what to expect from us, and he is even checking up on us in class making sure we are doing right."
Paine said that discipline begins with the simplest thing in life and it is that discipline that pays off on the football field.
"I know when I was their age, if I didn't have someone on my back, I wouldn't be where I am. I want to return the favor, but take it up a notch," Paine said. "I have changed some things, and they are more aware walking on campus that I will show up. I am particular about things like the school uniform. School and football is very similar in discipline. That is doing things the way it supposed to be done, when it supposed to be done and how it is supposed to be done.
"If you can carry over the discipline of your regular life onto the football field, you can be successful."
With spring practice complete, Paine said that over the summer the concentration will be on the little things that are the difference in the fall.
"Our focus will be to improve our strength, our agility and our footwork. All the little things related to football," Paine said. "(Former University of Oklahoma and former Dallas Cowboys coach) Barry Switzer once said that you can condition a football team four weeks before its first game. So the first part of the summer will be on strength, agility and alignment. With our young linemen, we had some bust in our schemes. We want to continue to get things down and we should be alright."

(4x + 6) (x + 3)
We look at the first binomials which are 4x and x which gives us 4x2
Now we look at the two outside binomials which are 4x and 3 which gives us 12x
Now we look at the two inside binomials which are 6 and x whichh gives us 6x
Now we look at the last two binomials which are 6 and 3 which gives us 18
Finally, you add all of them together: 4x2 +18x + 18
All you need to remember is what FOIL stands for, whether you have fractions involved or not, just repeat the steps in FOIL and you will be able to mulitply to binomials. Practice with the worksheets and in no time it will come to you with ease. You are really just distributing both terms of one binomial by both terms of the other binomial. When I was taking algebra, I loved it, for me it was gamey!
Here are 2 PDF worksheets with answers for you to work on to practice multiplying binomials using the FOIL method. There are also many calculators that will do these calculations for you but it is important you understand how to multiply binomials correctly before using calculators.
Here are 10 sample questions, you will need to printe the PDFs in order to see the answers or practice with the worksheets. 1.) (4x - 5) (x - 3)
2.) (4x - 4 (x - 4)
3.) (2x +2) (3x + 5)
4.) (4x - 2) (3x + 3)
5.) (x - 1) (2x + 5)
6.) (5x + 2) (4x + 4)
7.) (3x - 3) (x - 2)
8.) (4x + 1) 3x + 2)
9.) (5x + 3) 3x + 4)
10.) (3x - 3) (3x + 2)
It should be noted that FOIL can only be used for binomial multiplication. FOIL is not the only method that can be used. There are other methods, although FOIL tends to be the most popular. If using the FOIL method is confusing for you, you may wish to try the distributive method, the vertical method or the grid method. Regardless of the strategy you find to work for you, all the methods will lead you to the correct answer. After all, mathematics is about finding and using the most efficient method that works for you.
Working with binomials usually occurs in the ninth or tenth grades in high school. An understanding of variables, multiplication, binomials are required before multiplying binomials. For a visual understanding of using FOIL, be sure to check out the video.After all, if a picture is worth a thousand words, a video must be worth ten times that!

Mrs. Valery Fuhrman
Dear River Valley Families:
Our second semester is in action! It is always a busy time of year. It is also a great time of year to stop and look back on how much has been accomplished already. We just had our student awards program– with some record numbers of students with perfect attendance, community service hours, and academic achievements. I am proud of our students for their hard work and the teachers for their support of students. I also recognize the support and guidance parents add to the formula. It truly takes all three sides– students, parents, and teachers– to help build success.
Mrs. Valery Fuhrman
Iowa Assessments A reminder that our Iowa Assessments (formerly called the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) will be given the week of February 18th. We know that students do their best on the tests when they take them with the group and receive the same standardized directions and time frames. Please keep this week in mind when scheduling any appointments!
They also do better when they are feeling their best and feel confident. Teachers are working hard to build their confidence through instruction, review, and increasing student stamina for test taking tasks-longer independent work times and question formatting similar to tests. Please help your student by ensuring they get good nutrition, exercise, and rest all week.
Teacher Webpages.
Please take the time to look at the teacher webpages by visiting the school website (www.rvwolverines.org), going to the elementary tab and then selecting the teacher name. Teachers update and add to these regularly-especially their lesson plans. It is a great way to get a hint of what is going to be taught each week.
Box Top Thank You!
Thank you for your box top donations! Thank you also to the volunteers who sort, trim, count and organize them for redemption. A year's worth was sent in and the Elementary got back a check for almost $2000! That is a great profit from trash! We will use the money to purchase two more iPads—-allowing for every teacher to then have iPad access in their classrooms.
A Couple of Reminders-
JMC Online- I f you are a parent of a 3rd-12th grade student, I hope you have developed a habit of checking your student's grades online. Teachers try to keep them current on a weekly basis. If you have troubles or want more information, please call the school office.
Winter Weather Wear- Our students go outside for recess almost every day. All students in PreK-6th should wear a coat, hat, gloves, boots, and snow pants for recess. Please take the time to label your student's gear so if it gets left or dropped we can easily get it back to the student.
Reading Calendars are due the last day of each month. Please help your child reach their goal.

Showing results to screen instead of building array?
I've been staring at this code for awhile now and can't seem to see what it is I've overlooked. I'm attempting to build an array out of a database query, all the data is returned just as I expect it to, but in trying to build the array to use later in the code to compile the results into a table my code instead dumps all the results to the screen on my webpage.
Any suggestions as to what I am missing would be greatly appreciated. Below is the code I am using to retrieve the data (that works perfectly) then populate the array. Instead of populating the array however it is just dumping to the browser.
// Run the query against the database and process the results
$EmpReportResult = mysqli_query($db_server, $SQLEmpReport) or die("Unable to request employee list: " . mysqli_error());
while ($EmpReportRow = mysqli_fetch_array($EmpReportResult))
// First concactenate the employee name to single variable
$FullName = $EmpReportRow['Last_Name'] . ", " . $EmpReportRow['First_Name'];
// Then build the employee array
$Emps[] = array(
'empnum' => $EmpReportRow['Employee_Number'],
'fullname' => $FullName,
'phone' => $EmpReportRow['Phone'],
'strate' => $EmpReportRow['ST_Rate'],
'otrate' => $EmpReportRow['OT_Rate'],
'dtrate' => $EmpReportRow['DT_Rate'],
'actualst' => $EmpReportRow['ActualST'],
'actualot' => $EmpReportRow['ActualOT'],
'actualdt' => $EmpReportRow['ActualDT']
