ห้องพักสวยมาก มีความรู้สึกเหมือนพักอยู่บ้าน พนักงานอัธยาสัยดี ยิ้มแย้ม แจ่มใส อาหารเข้าอาจจะไม่ค่อยหลากหลาย แต่ก็พอใช้ได้ โรงแรมไม่ติดชายหาด ต้องข้ามถนนไปทางฝั่งร้านอาหารของโรงแรม ชายหาดเล่นน้ำไม่ได้ มีหินค่อนข้างเยอะ แต่ก็ไม่เป็นปัญหาในการใช้บริการของโรงแรม เพราะถ้ามาสมุยแล้วต้องเที่ยวตามเกาะจะสนุกกว่า. โดยรวมถือส่าใช้ได้เลยทีเดียว ถ้ามีโอกาสคงกลับไปใช้บริการอีก

Behavior modeling has proved to be successful in helping uncover design flaws of concurrent and distributed systems. Nevertheless, it has not had a widespread impact on practitioners because model construction remains a difficult task and because the benefits of behavior analysis appear at the end of the model construction effort. In contrast, scenario-based specifications have a wide acceptance in industry and are well suited for developing first approximations of intended behavior; however, they are still maturing with respect to rigorous semantics and analysis tools. This article proposes a process for elaborating system behavior that exploits the potential benefits of behavior modeling and scenario-based specifications yet ameliorates their shortcomings. The concept that drives the elaboration process is that of implied scenarios. Implied scenarios identify gaps in scenario-based specifications that arise from specifying the global behavior of a system that will be implemented component-wise. They are the result of a mismatch between the behavioral and architectural aspects of scenario-based specifications. Due to the partial nature of scenariobased specifications, implied scenarios need to be validated as desired or undesired behavior. The scenario specifications are then updated accordingly with new positive or negative scenarios. By iteratively detecting and validating implied scenarios, it is possible to incrementally elaborate the

Two people hospitalized after head-on crash

Updated On: Jan 15 2014 10:38:24 PM CST
Two people were hospitalized early Friday morning after a head-on crash in far east El Paso.
The incident happened at 2:15 a.m. on Zaragoza between Pellicano and Vista Del Sol. Police at the scene tell us a man and a woman were both taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. While police have not told us the cause of the wreck, they say one driver was heading north on Zaragoza while the other was going south. Each car had major damage with debris scattered across the road.
Police blocked off the northbound lanes of Zaragoza while they cleaned up the wreck. Zaragoza should be clear by rush hour.

Government accused of neglecting drinking water needs of city
Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy assured on Monday that phase-III of the Krishna Drinking Water Supply Project would be completed by the end of 2013 after the Opposition members charged the government with neglecting the needs of the city.
Question hour
Intervening during Question Hour, he said the government had in principle decided to take up Krishna water project's phase-III to augment the drinking water needs by supplying an additional 5.5 TMC.
It is examining the loan offers of Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and HUDCO for financing the project.
Mr. Reddy also assured that whatever funds needed to take up emergency works to tide over the drinking water problem would be released.
Review meeting
Earlier, the Speaker N. Manohar directed Municipal Administration Minister M. Maheedhar Reddy to hold a review meeting with the city legislators on Tuesday even as Majlis members rushed to the podium seeking an assurance in this regard.
The Opposition and Congress members accused the Minister of misleading the House by stating that scarcity problem existed in the peripheral circles of Qutbullapur, Alwal and Malkajgiri. They said there was water scarcity in several areas, including New MLA Quarters and Road No.12 in the heart of the city.
Drinking water needs
They charged the government with neglecting the drinking water needs of the city and sought to know by when the phase-III of Krishna Water Project would be completed.
Replying to the main question, Mr. Mahidhar Reddy said that a detailed project report for phase-III of the Krishna drinking water project scheme with an estimated cost of Rs.1670 crore is under consideration.
He assured to expedite the project and said the tenders would be called for in the next couple of months.
Work in progress
In order to bridge the deficit up to 2017, the Godavari Drinking Water Supply Project to bring 172 mgd is taken up and works are in progress.
The Minister denied that he had misled the House and said that he had only mentioned that the scarcity was more in peripheral areas and had never said that there was no scarcity in the city. The BJP members staged a walkout later protesting against the government's attitude.

I have to start consulting my calendar before I pull food out of the freezer! I got out a pork shoulder steak on Monday to have on Tuesday, forgetting that I leave for class Tuesday evening before 5 and don't get back until after 9. And tonight I'll be leaving for the food bank about 5 and won't get back until probably 7 or so. Neither is particularly condusive to spending close to an hour cooking a pork shoulder steak. So I guess I'll fix it for lunch today, instead. Not a big deal, but it's happened several times now that I've gotten something out of the freezer without checking my calendar. And I'm even worse about it when I'm planning my menus.
Anyway, yesterday I ate -
Breakfast - MIM with coconut milk and splenda
Lunch - soup - bone broth, eggs, gelatin, tomatoes, cauliflower, spinach, lard
Snack - tea with splenda
Supper - Spaghetti Squash, Broccoli and Turkey Alfredo
Evening tea - tea with splenda and gelatin
Total cost of food eaten - $3.02
Another somewhat different day today. It started with going out to breakfast with some of the women I volunteered with at the homeless shelter. I had a Veggie Bennie, which is Eggs Benedict with fresh spinach and fresh tomatoes instead of ham or Canadian bacon. And of course no English muffin for me! So it was two eggs on a layer of lightly cooked spinach and tomatoes, with two very thin slices of cheese, and a bowl of hollandaise sauce. Very good and very rich, especially since I didn't skimp at all on the hollandaise sauce. I bet there was at least a cup of the sauce. Which, by the way, is easy to make and not very expensive and would really add some elegance or class or pizzaz or something to an other wise cheap meal. I'll have to work on that. I also had lots of tea (made from tea leaves and not tea bags!) with splenda and half and half. A very good low carb breakfast in good company.
Most "official" Food Stamp Challenges say you have to include the cost of eating out, but since mine is an unofficial challenge and I get to make my own rules, I'm saying that if the purpose of eating out is mainly social (as this was), then I'll only count the average cost of the meal (breakfast, lunch, or supper) and consider that the rest of the cost comes out of a different budget category. If the main purpose of eating out was the food (like when I forgot to take my lunch last week), then I'll include the whole cost. So although the breakfast actually came to $13, I'm only including 50 cents, though I am including the pre-breakfast I had at 5:30 before going to the shelter. My challenge, my rules!
The other thing that was different was that I had twice as much supper as I would usually have. I saw some people at breakfast who got pancakes that were literally the size of the dinner plate they were served on, and they looked really good. I kept thinking about them and decided that I would have pancakes for supper. I got two or three bags of almond meal at Christmas and was going to use that, but I couldn't find it. I'm sure it's in one of my freezers but I don't know which one or where. But I did find some coconut flour I had forgotten about and was going to use that instead. But then I realized that I was looking forward to binging on the pancakes with oodles of butter (in my mind I was thinking of a whole stick - or more!) and that while the pancakes were fine, the thoughts and feelings that were going along with them were not. So instead I finished up the Pumpkin, Cabbage and Chicken Stew, which definitely did need to be used up, but was really 2 servings. The two servings satisfied me which I don't think 1 serving would have. So there's an extra 95 cents from the extra serving.
Monday's food -
Pre-breakfast - MIM with lard and splenda
Breakfast - (eating out) - Veggie Bennie, tea w/splenda and half and half
Lunch - soup - bone broth, frozen spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs
Supper - 2 servings of Pumpkin, Cabbage and Chicken Stew
Evening tea - tea w/splenda and gelatin
Total cost of food eaten - $4.20
Here are my daily averages for the second week of this Food Stamp Challenge -
Calories - 1646
Fat - 120 grams (66 % of calories)
Protein - 102 grams
Total carbs - 47
Fiber - 17 grams
Net carbs - 30
Meat, eggs, cheese - 12 oz
Veggies - 13 oz
Cost of food eaten - 3.81
The numbers were skewed some because of the nuts I had for lunch on Saturday when I forgot to take my lunch. The extra cost of the nuts instead of a packed lunch raised the average cost of food this week by almost 40 cents.
Breakfast - 3 eggs fried in 2 T lard; tea w/splenda and gelatin
Lunch - Applebee's Sizzling N'awleans Platter (shrimp, chicken, sausage, jambalaya over sauteed veggies instead of rice). Because the purpose of this lunch was social, I'm counting most of it as entertainment and only $1.25 as food. $1.25 is a bit higher than the average cost of my lunches this week, except for the nuts yesterday that were a goof.
Supper - Spaghetti Squash, Broccoli and Turkey Alfredo
Evening tea - tea w/splenda and gelatin
Total cost of food eaten today (as adjust for lunch per above) - $3.21
I made a casserole of spaghetti squash, broccoli, turkey, and alfredo sauce. It turned out ok, though would have been better if I'd made my own sauce instead of using Ragu Alfredo Sauce. But it was cheap, ok, filling, and fairly easy. And it didn't need anything else to go with it, though it could have used some more calories. Here's the recipe -
400 gr cooked spaghetti squash (about 2.5 cups)
10 oz frozen broccoli, cooked (either cut or chopped)
2 c cooked diced turkey or chicken
1 c Alfredo Sauce (Ragu Classic Alfredo has 2 carbs per 1/4 cup)
2 oz grated parmesan
2 oz pork rind crumbs
Combine the spaghetti squash, broccoli, turkey and sauce in a large bowl. Mix well; a fork will help incorporate the rest into the strands of spaghetti squash. Add the parmesan and half the pork rind crumbs and mix well. Pour into an 8" or 9" baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining crumbs over the top. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly. Makes 4 servings of about 1.5 cups each.
Cost per serving - $1.21

Cherry-pick undermines NBN business case: Switkowski
NBN Co chief Ziggy Switkowski has told a Senate committee that "cherry-picking" network rollouts planned by TPG and mooted by Telstra do, indeed, pose a threat to its own business model. TPG Internet stated last year that it wanted to extent its metro fibre networks to residential apartment basements, using existing copper to …
We wouldn't have a problem if we had stuck with FTTH Fibre To The Home, since people don't usually live in the basement.
As it is, this FTTP is simply FTTN with a basement fibre-to-copper node.
Too bad if people in apartments in the city get what people in homes out in the suburbs are having foisted on them.
Re: Obviously
Yes and no.
The technology is the same, being fiber to a node and then VDSL(1/2) to the actual home/apartment. In this regard, there is no difference in the network between a home and an apartment - both get fiber to some remote point and then VDSL(1/2) over copper from there to the lounge room.
With FTTN, the most important thing is how close the node is. With a suburban house, you might be an average over 1km away, and FTTN will be far inferior (in speed) to FTTH. Added bonus is that the copper running from the node to your home will likely as not be old and less than ideal in terms of line noise.
In an the 'high-value' apartment buildings they are talking about, the node is going to be around 100-200m (copper length) away, and that copper is going to be newer and likely of higher quality. The result is that these 'high value' customers will indeed get good speeds that are noticeably faster.
FTTH is preferable for many reasons but on speed alone, FTTN is 'good enough for now' if that node is in the basement.
Re: Obviously
The problem isn't home, versus node. The problem is that these competitors are going to take high value customers away from the NBN. By getting there much faster than the NBN can, they will have locked down their userbase so tightly that it won't be worth while for the NBN team to deploy to these premises at all.
This is a big problem for the NBN because it will take away a large part of the revenue it needs. It isn't a problem for the users, though, because they will get their connections much faster and cheaper than if they wait for the NBN mob.
If anybody remembers Telecom Australia (now Telstra) in the bad old days before the market was opened up to competition, they will understand why competition is a good thing. One rule they had was that if a communications wire crossed a road, Telecom had to provide it. At Telecom's price. Waiting for Telecom to get around to it. That is the sort of regulatory control Australia doesn't need.
LNP - fail train
All aboaaaard!
FTTP is already looking like a non starter.
Rupert WILL be happy.
There was a good reason to go with FTTH.
Re: LNP - fail train
"There was a good reason to go with FTTH."
There are many good reasons.
- Longevity of physical infrastructure
- Future-proofing*
- Lower maintenance and running costs - 'nodes' require all manner of active equipment
- Replaces old, noisy copper that is a bottleneck
- And, of course, bandwidth
Sure, it costs more in the short term to do it properly the first time and yes, it would almost certainly have taken longer, but that's the case with most investments - even with the worst estimates of roll-out times, the infrastructure laid down in the FTTH plan would remain viable for decades after that.
* - VDSL(2) may well have a road-map for increased performance with all this talk of 'vectoring' but there are many assumptions there - we KNOW that fibre of the type installed can already support MUCH higher bandwidths. It also means that upgrades take place in fewer locations - the exchanges - rather than having to upgrade all the nodes, saving money and accelerating deployment.
Re: LNP - fail train
Why will Rupert be happy? 25Mbps still provides adequate bandwidth for 2 HDTV streams.
Under Labor's NBN plan 50% of fibre connections are 12Mbps and predicted to remain that way well into the foreseeable future. I would have to suggest a higher percentage of the population on slower populations would make Rupert happier.
Telstra limiting ADSL to 1.5Mbps is the prime example of a company deliberately protecting FoxTel from streaming media competition.
Re: LNP - fail train
And of course the most important one. It is the most expensive option. If there had been a more expensive and stupid way to do it, Labour would have gone with that.
Of course cherry-picking hurts...
If NBN had been allowed to go full-tilt instead of enduring FIVE inquiries with unqualified people asking dumb questions to mess up their days, maybe they would be further along, and the "high value" sites would be in the bag.
Nice to see Switkowski's old company is doing the cherry-picking too. Did they have insider help?
The ACCC provided a neat solution to the overbuild problem by determining that 121 PoIs would exist, they effectively created 121 networks. The government should respond by setting minimum service standards and calling for tenders to install the network in each of the 121 locations to provide wholesale network access at agreed (or cheaper) prices. Infrastructure companies would then bid for the concessions either requesting a government subsidy or paying a fee.
With appropriate KPIs companies could be rewarded for providing a faster network or penalised for failing to meet deadlines. Instead of a bureaucratic monolith we would have at least 4 companies competing to provide innovative services.
kpis etc
Yr humble correspondent has some experience with the service model of " get bonus if exceed KPI, pay penalty if not meet KPI". Is not that how {a large southern metropolis} allegedly makes sure that itsits railway franchise is encentivated to drop services, omit intermediate stops, run direct to flinders st rather than go thru loop, and generally game the system.
go you pillock.
PS I seem to remember also that having two operators was thort to be a Good Thing. Right up to the point where one operator threw in the towel at a moment's notice. Just before chrissie,just to add to the sense of chaos,ifirc. Can't see why 121 operators would make more sense than 2 under the local monopoly scenario.
I live in a Carlton apartment and an NBN Co box has appeared on the wall of our basement, I wonder if we're one of the trial buildings!
I'm disappointed I was hoping we'd just sneak into the FTTH roll out!
Where are you?

Below are replica Airsoft Sniper Rifles. The actual military role of a sniper (a term derived from the snipe, a bird which was difficult to hunt and shoot) dates back to the turn of the 18th century, but the true sniper rifle is a much more recent development. Advances in technology, specifically that of telescopic sights and more accurate manufacturing, allowed armies to equip specially-trained soldiers with rifles that enable them to deliver precise shots over greater distances than regular infantry weapons. The rifle itself could be based on a standard rifle (at first, a bolt-action rifle); however, when fitted with a telescopic sight, it becomes a sniper rifle.

I needed it for a site where I had batch created users and emailed them with a temporary password.
The plugin prevents them doing ANYTHING until they update the password - then it leaves them alone.
Had a slight configuration issue, but the support was quick and accurate.
This plug in however, just works.
Probably needs a bit of interface TLC, but if it works then I'll live with that.
Well done.
No more spending an hour creating the form and linking it to the database table and never knowing quite who would get the emails, the forms wizard gets you going ASAP. And you can still edit the source if you want.
Tech support is fast and friendly.
I recommend it 100%
As an advanced user, it has all the tools I need.
For my clients its an easy to use and very powerful tool for them to build their content pages.
The new tool bar is cleaner and more intuitive.
If you haven't tried it, download it now and enjoy.
Well done.

State: SoloPower announcement 'unfortunate'

Oregon economic development officials on Monday were scrambling to react to news that SoloPower Inc., a solar energy startup that received millions in incentives to open a Portland manufacturing plant, is suspending operations.
The Oregon Business Development Department issued a statement calling SoloPower's plan to lay off 29 workers "unfortunate."
SoloPower announced its decision in letter to the state's Oregon Dislocated Worker Unit as part of the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires a 60-day notice period in advance of actual layoffs and plant closings. The SoloPower decision would take effect June 17.
Business Oregon said it plans to take that time to learn more about SoloPower's plans. "Once we have more clarity regarding the company's plans we will be able to determine what steps may be available and appropriate regarding their business operations in Oregon," the economic development group said a prepared statement.
Company officials haven't responded to inquiries.

@MBraves Win Season Finale but Miss Playoffs
Jacksonville's 6-5 win over Mobile negates M-Braves' 2-1 defeat of Huntsville as Suns clinch South
By: Kyle Tait, Mississippi Braves
Huntsville, AL – The Mississippi Braves did their part in a 2-1 win over the Huntsville Stars in Monday afternoon's season finale at Joe Davis Stadium, but the Jacksonville Suns' 6-5 win over the Mobile BayBears eliminated the Braves from playoff contention.
Entering the day, Mississippi (44-26; 83-56) needed to win and for the Jacksonville Suns to fall to the Mobile BayBears in order to clinch the final playoff spot in the Southern League. Mobile scored twice in the ninth but stranded the tying run at third base, ending the M-Braves' chances.
With the division loss, the M-Braves become the first team in Southern League history to finish with the league's best overall record but not make the playoffs because of the first-half, second-half system.
Seth Loman broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth inning when he came up with the bases loaded and one out. He rolled one to second base for a force out, and Kyle Wren came across for a 2-1 lead.
The lead came only after a great pitcher's duel between Mitch Atkins and Brent Suter. Atkins fired six innings of two-hit baseball, allowing just a solo home run to Hainley Statia in the first to trail 1-0.
The M-Braves tied it 1-1 against Suter in the third. Wren doubled and Kyle Kubitza drove him home with an RBI single with two outs.
The contest went to the bullpens tied up, with Ryne Harper (9-5) picking up the win in relief and Kevin Shackelford (2-4) suffering the loss. John Cornely (S, 7) came on for the save, allowing a hit and striking out two in the ninth.
The Stars will meet the Chattanooga Lookouts while the Mobile BayBears face the Jacksonville Suns in the Southern League playoffs beginning Thursday, with both coming as best-of-five series to determine the Championship round.
The M-Braves open their 11th season of play in Pearl, MS on Thursday April 9, 2015 with the Tennessee Smokies at Trustmark Park.

Playoff Hopes Wane as @MBraves Split Twin Bill
Braves need to win Monday plus a Jacksonville loss to make playoffs
By: Kyle Tait, Mississippi Braves
Huntsville, AL – The Mississippi Braves' 2014 playoff chances took a hard hit on Sunday night after splitting a rain-delayed doubleheader with the Huntsville Stars, winning the opener and dropping the night cap by the same score, 6-2.
With Jacksonville defeating Mobile 5-0, Mississippi (43-26; 82-56) needed to win both to stay in control of their own fate. Now the M-Braves need to win Monday's season finale and get a BayBears win over the Suns to advance to the playoffs.
After the first game was delayed for three hours and three minutes by rain and the ensuing field conditions, the M-Braves got off to a hot start against Stars (31-38; 77-62) starter Jed Bradley. With two outs in the first, Kyle Kubitza walked and Cedric Hunter ripped an RBI triple to start the scoring.
Rich Poythress made it 2-0 with an RBI single, and Barrett Kleinknecht drove him in with a double to make it 3-0 in the first.
The Stars bounced back with an unearned run in the first. After Williams Perez was hit with a comebacker on his second pitch for a Nick Shaw infield single, Andrew Robinson came on in relief. A two-out error by Poythress moved Shaw to third, and Hainley Statia drove him home with a single.
Robinson (5-0) picked up the win in relief, firing three shutout frames on one hit and three strikeouts. He also ripped his first career extra-base hit, a one-out double in the second to set up a Kyle Kubitza RBI single for a 4-1 lead.
The Braves put up two more in the third for a 6-1 lead. Kleinknecht homered to left-center, his ninth round tripper of the year to make it 5-1. Daniel Castro followed up with a single and Braeden Schlehuber clubbed an RBI double for a 6-1 lead.
Ryan Kelly gave up a late relief run in the sixth, but the M-Braves held on for the win.
Bradley (5-8) took the loss, allowing six runs, four earned, on nine hits and a walk, striking out two.
In the second game, Joe Gardner (3-3) met his first adversity as an M-Braves hurler. The right-hander allowed four runs on five hits over four frames, suffering his first loss as a Brave in three starts.
The Stars and Braves swapped early runs. Huntsville's Nick Ramirez hit a two-out single and Hector Gimenez doubled off the wall for a 1-0 lead in the first. Mississippi fought back in the third when Matt Kennelly doubled and Jose Peraza—just activated from the disabled list between games—singled home the tying run.
Huntsville struck for three two-out runs in the fourth to pull away. Robinzon Diaz singled on the infield and a throwing error moved him to second. Joey Paciorek walked and Erik Komatsu doubled home two runs. A batter later, Shea Vucinich singled in Komatsu for a 4-1 lead.
Mississippi got a run back in the sixth on a Kubitza inside-the-park home run off the center field wall, their third inside-the-parker of the season joining Elmer Reyes in May and Gustavo Nunez in mid-August.
Komatsu hammered the final nail in the coffin with a two-run home run off Jorge Reyes in the sixth, pulling the final to 6-2 Huntsville.
Austin Ross (2-3) picked up the win for Huntsville, allowing one unearned on four hits and a walk, striking out six over his five frames.
The teams combined for nine errors total in the double header.
For the third time in four halves dating back to the start of 2013, the M-Braves take the South division race down to the final game of the half. Right-hander Mitch Atkins (6-1, 3.56) takes the mound for the Braves in the must-win opposite Stars left-hander Brent Suter (10-10, 4.06). First pitch is slated for 1:00 PM CT.

@MBraves' Hunter, Perez Named Post-Season All-Stars
|Two Braves represented on 2014 Southern League Post-Season All-Star team
PEARL, MS — The Southern League of Professional Baseball Clubs announced its Post-Season All-Star Team on Friday afternoon. Outfielder Cedric Hunter and right-handed pitcher Williams Perez are the only Mississippi Braves representatives.
Hunter, 26, is hitting .296 with 29 doubles, four triples, 14 home runs and 70 RBI through 116 games with the M-Braves this season. His .296 average currently ranks 10th among Southern League Leaders. He also ranks third with a .499 slugging percentage and a 8.75 TPA/K ratio. Hunter strung together a 17-game on-base streak earlier this season along with a season-high 10-game hitting streak in June.
The Georgia native signed with the Braves as a free agent on January 24, 2014. He was originally selected by the San Diego Padres in the third round of the 2006 draft out of Martin Luther King High School. He was named as a 2008 California League Mid-Season and Post-Season All-Star as well as a 2010 Texas League Mid-Season All-Star.
Perez, 23, currently leads the Southern League with a 2.91 ERA and his 1.18 WHIP ranks third among league leaders. He was recently named Southern League Pitcher of the Week (August 18-24) when he went 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA in two starts. For the month of August, Perez is 3-0 with a 1.13 ERA in five starts-his best month of the season. His next-best month was April when he went 2-2 with a 1.32 ERA in five starts.
The Venezuela native was selected as a Southern League Mid-Season All-Star earlier this season. Perez was named Pitcher of the Year at High-A Lynchburg last season by the Braves organization. He was signed by the Braves as a non-drafted free agent on January 12, 2009.

@MBraves Voice Tait Named Southern League Broadcaster of the Year
| Kyle Tait has been the M-Braves radio voice for the past four seasons
PEARL, MS — As announced by The Southern League of Professional Baseball Clubs this afternoon, Mississippi Braves radio broadcaster Kyle Tait has been named the 2014 Southern League Radio Broadcaster of the Year. Tait has been the "Voice of the M-Braves" on WYAB 103.9 FM for the past four seasons.
"What a tremendous and humbling honor it is to be recognized by the league and my peers this year," Tait said. "It's been a special and record-setting season for the Braves and it only makes the broadcast that much better with the team winning."
Tait began his play-by-play career in 2007 calling Georgia Tech baseball. Since then, he has called more than 800 baseball games, including over 500 with the Double-A Braves. Tait's resume also includes a stint hosting "The Kyle Tait Show" in Jackson, MS, and a season as color commentator for Georgia Tech Women's Basketball.
"Thanks to the voters, the listeners, the Southern League and the Braves for the opportunity to paint pictures and watch baseball throughout each of the past four summers." Tait continued, "and what a great feeling it is to join such a long line of great Southern League broadcasters."
In the offseason, he serves as public address announcer for Belhaven University football, basketball and baseball. Prior to moving to Mississippi in 2011, Tait had called Atlanta home since his prep school days, but he was well-accustomed to a traveling lifestyle being the son of a Navy Chief.
"Kyle stepped in and filled some pretty big shoes four years ago when Ben Ingram left to join the Atlanta Braves Radio Network," said M-Braves General Manager Steve DeSalvo. "Kyle has done a great job on air for the M-Braves and has continued to grow and improve over the years, as recognized by his peers today. I congratulate him on this well-deserved honor."
Born in London, Tait lived in Florida, Guam and West Virginia by his eighth birthday. The Snellville, GA, native graduated from Georgia Tech in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in Business Management. He resides in Brandon with his wife Megan and two dogs, AJ and Indy.
The annual Southern League Radio Broadcaster of the Year Award is voted on by the league's broadcasters and general managers.
Ross, @MBraves Blank Stars, Hold Down 1st Place
Braves hurler fires seven shutout; Castro homers in win
By: Kyle Tait, Mississippi Braves
Huntsville, AL – A brilliant outing by Greg Ross and plenty of offensive support sent the Mississippi Braves to a 5-0 shutout win over the Huntsville Stars at Joe Davis Stadium on Friday night, preserving their ½-game lead over the Jacksonville Suns in the South Division with three games left.
Ross (7-3) fired seven shutout frames, allowing just four hits and no walks, striking out three in the winning effort.
He was matched by Huntsville (30-37; 76-61) starter Jacob Barnes (2-6) until the fifth when shortstop Daniel Castro broke the scoreless tie with his fourth home run of the year, a solo shot for a 1-0 lead.
Mississippi (42-25; 81-55) went on to score in four straight frames to pull away. In the sixth, Kyle Wren singled and Gustavo Nunez bunted him to second. Kyle Kubitza rolled out to short to move Wren to third, and Cedric Hunter came up with a two-out single to make it 2-0.
Barnes allowed two runs on seven hits over six frames, striking out one without issuing a walk in the loss.
In the seventh, the M-Braves made it 3-0 with another tally off reliever Tommy Toledo. Mycal Jones singled to lead off the frame, moving ahead on a Castro single and a wild pitch, setting up Braeden Schlehuber for a sacrifice fly.
The M-Braves jumped on Toledo for two more in the eighth for their 5-0 lead. Wren led off with a triple, capping off his second four-hit game of his career and the second in nine days. Nunez drove him home with a single and Kubitza knocked in the second run of the frame with a double.
Brandon Cunniff came in to close the door in the final two frames, allowing just two hits while striking out two to close the win.
With the club's magic number down to three, the Braves could clinch the second half as early as Saturday night with a win over Huntsville and two Jacksonville losses in their doubleheader with Mobile. First pitch at Joe Davis Stadium is slated for 6:30 PM CT, with right-hander Williams Perez (7-6, 2.91) taking the baseball against Stars right-hander Austin Ross (1-3, 3.86).

Streak Snapped as @MBraves Stumble in Huntsville
Series-opening loss ends record-tying eight-game win streak
By: Kyle Tait, Mississippi Braves
Huntsville, AL – Jason Hursh suffered his first loss in nearly two months and the Mississippi Braves couldn't overcome a big early deficit in a 7-5 loss to the Huntsville Stars on Thursday night at Joe Davis Stadium.
Huntsville (30-36; 76-60) scored all their runs early and chased Hursh (11-7) after just 3 1/3 innings, his second-shortest outing of the season.
The Stars broke through in the first inning. Nick Shaw singled and Shawn Zarraga walked, setting up a Hector Gimenez opposite field three-run home run to left, his eighth of the season to make it 3-0 Huntsville.
Mississippi (41-25; 80-55) came back with two solo homers to pull it to 3-2. Seth Loman hit a no-doubter over the right field wall in the second, his 12th home run of the season. Two innings later, Cedric Hunter went yard to pull it to a one-run game, his 14th home run of the year.
Huntsville pulled away again with a four-run fourth, ending Hursh's day early. Gimenez and Hainley Statia singled and Nick Ramirez was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Erik Komatsu hit a two-run single for a 5-2 lead. Starting pitcher Drew Gagnon laid down a safety squeeze bunt for a third run, and Shaw doubled home another for a 7-2 lead.
Hursh allowed seven runs on seven hits and a walk, striking out two over 3 1/3 innings. It was Hursh's first loss since July 4 at Montgomery, ending a streak of five consecutive winning decisions.
The Braves chipped away against Gagnon (11-6) in the sixth when Mycal Jones hit a pinch-hit triple and Kyle Wren drove him home to make it 7-3.
Gagnon picked up the win, allowing three earned runs on four hits and striking out seven over six frames.
The M-Braves threatened a comeback in the ninth, scoring twice and putting the tying run on base against Ole Miss product David Goforth. Hunter walked, David Rohm singled and Daniel Castro walked to load the bases. Rich Poythress hit a two-out, two-run single in the ninth to make it 7-5, but Wren grounded out to third to end the game.
With the Jacksonville Suns idle on Thursday night, the M-Braves' hold on the South Division shrank to a half-game with four games left.
The loss was the Braves' first since August 18 at Mobile, matching a franchise-long win streak at eight games.
The Braves will attempt to get back to their winning ways on Friday night in the second game with the Stars. Right-hander Greg Ross (6-3, 2.28) gets the start against right-hander Jacob Barnes (2-5, 4.33), with first pitch slated for 6:30 PM CT.

Bench Report: Top Ten Legal Decisions of 2010
2010 Law & Lawyers Report
PSC-10-0131-FOF-EI, March 5, 2010.)
6. Feed-In Frenzy
California chips away at PURPA's avoided cost ceiling.
FERC surprised no one when it ruled this summer that federal law pre-empts state regulation of wholesale power—at least outside of PURPA. Therefore, the California PUC couldn't rely on a recent state law (Assembly Bill 1613) to force utilities to buy wholesale electricity from certain super-efficient combined-heat-and-power facilities—paying subsidized higher prices that reflect costs of carbon control and of mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—even if the CHP units can qualify as QFs under the 1978 federal PURPA law.
In essence, by forcing utilities to buy power from CHP plants at a price that reflected the cost of controlling GHGs, California was trying to incorporate a virtual carbon tax in its feed-in tariff. In the July order, FERC ruled that California couldn't do that if the resulting price exceeded PURPA's avoided cost ceiling.
Yet it now appears that this avoided cost ceiling was made of glass. In October, in a clarification order, FERC explained how California could circumvent that ceiling and reward green power producers that "feed" clean generation to utility buyers.
FERC's October order says states may create a two-tiered avoided-cost schedule—one for the short run, and one long-run. Such a schedule, FERC explains, could reflect state-specific mandates for energy procurement. And since California law forces utilities in the long run (commitments five years or longer) to buy power only from combined-cycle gas turbines or other renewable or non-carbon-emitting resources, FERC now will allow California to adopt a higher, second-tier avoided cost ceiling to reflect and reward the high-efficiencies and special green characteristics of CHP plants. (Docket Nos. EL10-64 and EL10-66, July 15, 2010, 132 FERC¶61,047. Order granting clarification, Oct. 21, 2010, 133 FERC ¶61,059.)
7. Spreading Downwind
EPA's "Transport Rule" portends state-specific limits on SO 2 and NO x.
When a federal appeals court in 2008 struck down the EPA's 2005 Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), the court was probably trying to do the impossible—to make airborne particulate and ozone season emissions of SO 2 and NO x conform to man-made state boundaries, rather than control such emissions over a wide region. In this way, no single state would carry an untoward share of costs for controlling SO 2 and NOx emissions from electric generating units, as they spread downwind from one state to another.
Thus, in its compliance filing submitted in July, the EPA proposed setting a specific pollution limit (or budget) for SO 2/NOx emissions from electric generating units for each of some 31 states and the District of Columbia. A cap-and-trade program would allow each state individually to meet its own SO 2/NOx pollution control obligations, through a cap-and-trade plan with limited interstate trading of emissions.
The EPA's proposed method will focus on emissions reductions available and achievable in each individual state, in order to address the appellate court's concern that the 2005 CAIR plan—which identified a single level of emissions achievable across the entire region by the application of highly cost-effective controls—was insufficiently state-specific.
