Cinema | 'Futbol Palestina 2006′
Body searches, travel restrictions, arrests and martial law are not conditions usually associated with international football. These however have been familiar realities for members of the Palestinian national team. In spite of daunting odds, these players have succeeded in representing their nation. Futbol Palestina 2006, Nelson Soza and Marcelo Piña's film in progress, is a record of the players' struggles, determination and pride.
Since 1998, when FIFA recognized the Palestinian Football Association, Palestine, although lacking a state, has appeared in international tournaments and games. Yet the first Palestinian team was established in 1908, in the al-Rawda School of Jerusalem.
During the British rule of Palestine/Israel, the game was popular. There were separate leagues for the Jewish and Arab populations, but games between teams of the two nations took place, including for the state cup. These games of friendship ended in the early 1930s as bullets and bombs replaced soccer balls, and the young men who earlier had faced each other on the playing fields became enemies.
After the 1948 war, the fate of Palestinian football mirrored that of the Palestinian people—defeat, destruction, exile, struggle and renewed hope. Many of the players were killed or exiled, but teams from the West Bank participated in the Jordanian league, and a national team played in the Arab nations' championship games. After the Israeli conquest of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, all organized sports activities ceased. They resumed after 1973, with sports also helping to shape national consciousness and to restore pride, and in the last decade the national team has returned to full international participation after an absence of six decades. (Its last previous appearance was in the World Cup qualifying games of 1934 when it lost to Egypt.)
Lacking a state and an organized league, the process of assembling a team—depicted in Futbol Palestina—included a worldwide Internet appeal to players and fans to send names. Because of Israel's control of Palestinian territories, practices are held in Ismalia Egypt and home games in Qatar.
Several of the players grew up under military rule, and they, as well as family members, have known the hardships of occupation. One of the players, midfielder Tarek al-Quto, was killed during the intifada. In addition, several players play in Chile, Germany, Lebanon and the United States, coming together only rarely. With a large part of the Palestinian population suffering from economic deprivation and hunger, money for equipment, training, travel and games is scarce. Only in the last year have several Palestinian businessmen come through with financial support, and FIFA has pledged $1 million to help build a new stadium in Gaza.
The recent campaign to reach the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany, under the guidance of Austrian coach Alfred Riedel, began promisingly with an 8–0 victory over Taiwan and a draw with Iraq. Financial and political obstacles—such as the Israeli army not allowing five players to join their teammates for the important match against Uzbekistan—proved overwhelming, and Uzbekistan and Iraq advanced to the next round. Currently the team is under a new coach, Azami Nasser, and with recent political developments and moves toward a cease fire and the resumption of talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, perhaps soon the two sides will meet on the pitch.
Futbol Palestina 2006 focuses on several players. These include Shaker Suleiman Asad, who was born in Gaza and now lives in North Carolina, and who describes how wearing the Palestine uniform for the first time "gave me goose bumps everywhere. I have never been more proud of anything"; Chile-based Eduardo Tomas Dias Lama, who says that "one forgets everything else in his heart and fights to win something important for our people"; and Eduardo Abdala Montero, who feels that the players represent "so many people who are suffering. … We bring satisfaction and joy to these people."
The desire to show the world that Palestine is not just about war is expressed by the coach and players and also by the filmmakers. Producers Soza and Piña grew up in Chile under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet but from a young age felt an affinity with other struggles for justice across the world.
In a recent interview Soza described how he became involved in student politics in high school. "It was a terrible time, but also a time of learning and action. In those days we saw Palestine as a sister struggle; Chileans were also fighting in the streets. The fact that we were not unfamiliar with the word 'Palestino' could have also helped. Palestino is a first-division soccer club in Chile, founded by Palestinian immigrants in 1939. The club has produced great players. It all kind of worked together."
Soza grew up in a working-class neighborhood of Santiago, overlooking the Andes. "In the middle of our buildings there was a soccer field. This was pure dirt and stones, even glass, but we loved this field because every weekend our club played in it. I was in the team since I was probably five. Some of my greatest memories are set against that field. After many years in the United States, the picture of it in my mind is one of my dearest. Recently, visiting the Naher Al-Bared camp in Tripoli, I saw a field that could have been the one I grew up on, only this one had the Mediterranean 50 meters away."
Asked about his hopes for the film, Soza, who is a journalist and union organizer—Piña is a filmmaker and graduate student in cultural anthropology—said that in the United States the fate of Palestinians and the harsh reality of their lives is ignored. "When we see coverage sympathetic to Palestinians it is usually focused on the tears and blood of the conflict, and although they are legitimate images, they appeal to a very small number of people. Our contribution will be to step back a bit and see Palestinians not through the daily resistance, but through soccer. We hope the audience can see the richness of Palestinian people and realize that they are like the rest of us and as such need the peace and freedom we all cherish."

- A six-minute trailer screened for nearly 300 in Chicago on 2 May 2005, according to Soza, writing in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (July–August 2005, p. 85). The article stated that filmmakers are trying to organize additional screenings and to use the filmmaking process as a means of educating American audiences. "For reaching millions, few ambassadors would seem better suited than the game of soccer. Ultimately, the filmmakers hope to help people gain a better grasp of the issues, be prepared to challenge stereotypical views of Palestinians and Arabs in general, and, most importantly, do something about a great injustice," Soza writes.

My Hopper/Joey Install Experience
Posted 22 May 2012 - 01:56 PM
PTAT is great, just need to figure out how to sort through all the content. My wife complains about not being able to read the times in the guide... the black shadow effect must make it hard for her to read (I have no problem with it).
In default settings, all the logo names are cropped off at the left (easily corrected by reducing picture size 1 click), seems odd to have to set this.
Wish there was a way to copy favorites to Joeys. Seems odd you can copy parental control, but not favorites. I have 84 on my list my wife has 80, no fun doing that 3 times!

One question: I read <in this post> that the Hopper doesn't have the "Skip to Tick" or "Bookmark" features that the D* receivers have? If true I can live without the "Skip to Tick", but I would really miss the bookmark feature as I make use that all the time.

No Skip to Tick
No Bookmarks
The post you referenced mentions no Youtube or Pandora. We now have Pandora.
If you haven't seen it yet, you may want to take a look at the video I made for people like you and myself who have been with DirecTV for a while and weren't up to speed on the Dish DVR.
I also listed Pros & Cons here

Ray, D*'s bookmark feature is not the resume function you refer to. It allows setting multiple points (bookmarks) in a recording that you can later return to quickly without having to FF/RR through the entire recording to find a specific spot in the recording you want to return too. Ever try to find a specific spot in a movie back in the days of VHS cassette tapes? Kind of the same thing with a DVR lacking a bookmark feature.Did the bookmark feature just take you back to the spot you left off on a recording? If so, with our receivers, if you stop a playback on a recording you can resume playback where you left off. Please let me know. Thanks.
Watch the <VIDEO> that mdavej just posted. At the 2:20 point in that video is a clear demonstration of what D* calls "bookmarks". D*'s bookmarks are not nearly this sophisticated, no thumbnails or text attached, just tick marks placed on the timeline with the remote that one can easily return to, but it achieves the same thing. I use bookmarks a lot just in the way you see it demonstrated in the video.
Another Con I just learned of in reading Marlin Guy's Pros & Cons post is the lack of Live Buffer While Watching Recorded Programs which is another D* feature I consistently make use of. Pos & Cons indeed!
If the remote featured in the video is actually released then Dish would truly have the ultimate DVR!

The same applies to DVR features. Yes, there is no DirecTV bookmarks feature ... this isn't a DirecTV receiver. This is a DISH receiver built on the features DISH has offered over the years and (hopefully) improved.
No receiver has everything ... The Hopper system (including Joeys) has PTA and AutoHOP. I would not trade those for "bookmarks".
Posted 25 May 2012 - 05:07 PM
The picture needs to be paused before entering the guide. The pause control does not work once the guide screen has been entered. (And I believe there isn't a DISH receiver that has ever done that.)In regards to PIP, with the Hopper can the PIG (picture in graphics, the small picture seen when in the guide) be controlled (i.e. paused, etc.) while in the guide? D* used to have this feature but took it away with their HD GUI upgrade (IMO the worst upgrade they ever conceived of, the negative impacts of which are the main reasons D* is pushing me to the Hopper).
Posted 25 May 2012 - 05:41 PM
Well, neither would I. I never alluded that lack of "Bookmarks" would be a deal breaker, that's why I just signed up for a 2 year commitment with DISH! Hopper with 2 Joey's supposedly gets installed this coming Monday (Installers work on Memorial Day!?).No receiver has everything ... The Hopper system (including Joeys) has PTA and AutoHOP. I would not trade those for "bookmarks".
I hope I don't regret this move, I've been with D* continuously from the very beginning, since 1994. Before D*, there was no TV at all (no OTA) where I live at 9000ft. elevation in the Colorado Rockies.

I was a dish customer when the 922 came out and that experience ( 5 922s later) had me switch to DirectTV and eventually I became a cord cutter.
I finally bought a house and decided that the hopper tech would be interesting so I decided to give it try.
I had the Hopper installed to the main tv and the joeys on the kids tv and the home office.
Due to the house design it is very difficult to get to the secondary rooms with COAX, so I had the installer run a drop to my home office and hooked the HIC up there.
To initialize the joeys we ran a jumper cable from the hic to the joey(s). Activate it and then connect the device via ethernet cat5 to a gig switch on a dedicated vlan. Works like a champ.
As a backup if Dish ever decides to disable this functionality, I bought two more hics and hooked the HIC in reverse with the coax to the joey and ethernet into the joey. Works as expected since MOCA is layer network technology and the HIC is a bridge device.
It is nice to see IPTV on a satellite based device.
There has been a few slowdowns that resolved on its own and I can not get sling to work with my android devices, but overall this is what the 922 promised, and having ip based clients(
MOCA) is an excellent idea.
My next step is to get another joey and see if it will work over a vpn to my home network, if it does ( and I do not see how it will not work), this will be my prefered device when I travel for watching tv.

If you have managed switches, could you tell us some statistics, a load of your VPN with one client and more in future ?
I am collecting that data right now. so far the largest data stream was a sustained 4 megabit stream to one of the joeys.
The hopper is connected via direct ethernet and moca. Each port has its own mac address and ip address.
So far the only problem I have is that I need to manually setup my firewall to allow dish online remote access ( the receiver shows up unconnected) and I need to open up the needed firewall ports since I use OpenBSD on the perimeter.

Only problem so far is the Hopper keeps losing it's connectivity to my router, not sure why. I've got 9 devices on my home network, and the Hopper is the only one experiencing this problem. Are there any threads on the forum discussing this? (and yes, I'll do a search)
edit: A search seemingly only turned up one pertinent thread. I'll continue discussion of this problem there.
edit2: Didn't have the maximum number of DHCP users set correctly in the router, seems to be fixed... time will tell.

On Friday 5/11/2012 I received an email from DirecTV informing me that they would do me a favor and shut my service off as of midnight that night without requiring me to talk to retentions. This was in response to my email asking them about cancellation policies. This gave me less than 13 hours before I would have no television, at first I was going to call them and let them know that I did not plan to cancel at this time, but instead I decided to call Dish. I called Dish around 1:00PM and order service with 2 Hoppers, 3 Joeys and 1 sling adapter, and the install was set up for the next day, Saturday 5/12/2012 between noon and 5.
I received an automated call and text that evening about the install but never got any calls from the installer as I was told would happen. The installer did arrive around 3:45PM, and I showed him the setup. Where my old DirecTV dish was I had 4 RG6 cable that were homerun to my wiring panel in a closet in the 2nd floor master. In the closet I have multiple RG6 and cat5e run to all rooms of the house with easy patch panel access. I also had all of the RG6 connections labeled for Joeys/Hoppers and in all rooms RG6 were waiting for the Joeys and RG6/Cat5e were waiting for the Hoppers.
The installer removed my DirecTV dish and then informed me that with my 2 Hopper setup he would need to install 2 dishes or else the Joeys would work fine for a few days then would start "hopping" between each Hopper. I questioned this as I wanted my Joeys to be able to connect to each Hopper and also in the future I wanted the Hoppers to be able to see each other. He told me that the Joeys cannot switch between Hoppers and the Hoppers were never going to be able to see each other, he explained that they were doing all 2 hopper installs this way for now to prevent the "hopping problems" and when the software issues were corrected they could come back and remove a dish. I ended up believing him and he proceeded to install 2 dishes on the back of my house and 2 single node switches. The install and Hopper/Joey software update took 3.5 hours, I tipped him $20 and he left at 7:15PM.
After he left I started researching and posting on forums and I became extremely aware that the installer was mistaken. My hunch is that he most likely did not have a duonode switch in his truck. If indeed that was the case I wish he would have told me so, and simply installed 1 Hopper and the 3 Joeys at that time and then scheduled to come back with the correct switch and installed the other Hopper.
Well that night I contacted DiRT member and he confirmed that the install was incorrect and scheduled a Field Service Manager and installer for Saturday 5/19/2012 between 8:00AM and Noon to correct the issue. Again I received the automated call, email and text message on Friday evening which promised a call about an hour before the installer was to arrive, and again this did not happen. My doorbell rang at 9:22AM, I opened the door and the same installer from the previous week was standing there. He asked me what the issue was, so I told him that I should be getting a duonode switch and only have 1 dish. He again told me that I would have problems and that I shouldn't be listening to what people say online in forums. I explained that I was told by a Dish employee that my install was wrong and that it would be corrected today with a duonode switch and would require just one dish. He told me that he needed to order the switch, and it would take two days. He said he would come first thing Wednesday the23rd at 8:00AM or earlier.
On Wednesday 5/23/2012 he did not show, I called the number on the sticker that he placed on my remote and I was told that he was on his way to the office. Given that his office is 45 minutes away and it was now 8:30AM, I was pretty certain that he would not be there until after 9:00AM and perhaps 10:00AM, so I left to go to work. 30 minutes later the installer called me and apologized about not calling but said he was called into a meeting, and we could reschedule later. I tried to call him back to reschedule but he did not answer and did not call me back. The original DiRT member was away so that night I again contacted a different DiRT member. We ended up talking on the phone and he scheduled a Field Service Manager and installer to arrive again at my house on Saturday 5/26/2012 between 8:00AM and Noon.
Friday evening, I again received the call, email and text about my appointment. Then on Saturday morning at 7:30AM I received a call from the dispatcher that a FSM was not available but that she could ensure that a different installer came out. I responded that that would be fine, but I asked her to verify that the installer did indeed have a duonode switch on the truck. She called me back and told me that he did indeed have the correct equipment with him. About 8:30AM I received a call from the installer telling me he was about 25 minutes away. When he arrived I showed him the dishes and the wiring closet, and asked him if he could silicone any holes in the side of the house caused by the second dish. He actually removed both dishes and replaced one with a different dish, he removed the 2 singlenode switches, installed the duonode switch, and verified all Hoppers/Joeys were working before he left. Total time was about 1.5 hours.
Although there was some frustration with my install and then with getting the issue corrected, I must say that the level of knowledge and communication by the DiRT members was exemplary. I do like the Hoppers/Joeys and there is no way one Hopper would have been enough tuners for my family of four. I was also experiencing a problem when I turned the one Hopper on, where it would check the switch, and this resulted in all current recording stopping. However, since the new dish/duonode switch was installed I have not seen this happen again.
Posted 06 June 2012 - 06:12 PM
Once Hopper/Joey was announced and looked at all the wonderful features, I had to have it, convinced the Husband and they were out today.
All in all they were out here and did a great job. They installed a new Sat Dish outside, new switch and a new Hopper. The guy was able to get the existing "Home Cable" System updated to support the 1 Joey to be moved from room to room, in case of Company comes over.
This will be my first night with PTAT and I am looking forward to it! You don't know how many times with the VIP622 that you forget you are watching a DVRed show, and the last 3 min of a show gets you hooked into the next one, only to have it stop at a good part! Or worse yet, you don't catch that final joke, due to a scheduled channel change! Now I get to watch the next show even though I did not schedule it!
Thank you Dish, about time you brought whole home DVR to the Rural Communities!

The formerly 12:30 Raycom syndicated SEC game (now part of the ESPN syndicated package) will probably still be a part of Gameplan.
I think these are the games that Cox/Comcast Sports purchased. I wrote to my local RSN (CSN Bay Area), they said they're looking at picking these games up as well. I would imagine these would be a hot property for RSN's to show if they are not showing "local" games already. Here in Nor Cal/NV we have two RSN's that are connected (CSN Bay Area and CA). There's only so many Cal/$tanford/Fresno/SJ St/NV games they can show. CSN Bay Area also fills in with FSN games as well, but that leaves CSN CA wide open for more games. I guess we'll have to wait and see towards August what happens.

Campaign chairman Bret Boykin announced to a group of volunteers recently that the United Way is shaking things up a bit by hosting a United We Dance competition.
"We think that this is going to be a good fundraiser. We are very excited about it," said Boykin.
"It's sort of like Dancing With The Stars. Anybody who loves to dance or think that they can dance is encouraged to come out and have fun. As of now, we only have four couples, but we need more," said Executive Director Peggy Davis.
The event is to take place on Oct. 21 at the Cleveland Country Club beginning at 6 p.m.
Tickets are $25 per person and can be purchased at the door.
Couples will dance the night away to the smooth tunes of DJ Saxy, as they sip cocktails and enjoy delectable hors d'oeuvres.
"We just want people to have a good time," added Davis.
Five judges will determine the winning couple based on certain criteria.
At the end of the night, the United Way will give away two prizes; one for the dance competition and the other for the People's Choice winner.
The People's Choice Award winner will be determined through public participation voting.
Each vote is $1 and at the end of the night, the person who has raised the most money is deemed the People's Choice Award winner.
A variety of voting options will be made available to the public, including the night of the dance and through the United Way Website at www.unitedwayclevbc.org.
The organization's goal is $123,710.
Agencies supported by the United Way must go through an application each year.
Selected this year for funding are: American Red Cross; 4-H Bolivar County; Bolivar County Literacy Council; Boy Scouts, Chickasaw Council; Community Counseling Center; Girl Scouts Heart of the South; Helping Hands/Community Assistance; Our House, Inc.; St. Jude Children's Hospital; Sunny Seniors; and U.S.O.
All donations raised in Bolivar County stay in Bolivar County to help residents here. Only one percent is sent to the larger United Way organization to maintain membership.
Donations may be sent to the United Way of Cleveland-Bolivar County at P.O. Box 1795, Cleveland, MS 38732 or call 662-846-1646 for more information.

It's that time of year! ROM for the Holidays is finally here, and we've been hard at work in the Keenan Family Gallery of Hands-on Biodiversity (HOB for short) getting some new hands-on activities ready to go.
First up is the brand-new, never-before-seen touch table that we put together in honour of our lost baby bison.
Every day at the museum is a good day, but when a new object-specimen gets added to the collection, it is a great day. It was a particularly stellar day in Earth Sciences when we were able to acquire this lovely princess cut, 23.24 carat peridot from Myanmar (Burma).
ROM Earth Scientists receive dozens of requests each year to identify possible meteorites. This is especially the case when there is a spectacular fireball similar to the one which recently streaked across southern Ontario on December 12 of this year (the video was captured by astronomers at the University of Western Ontario). Do you think you have found a space rock?
They organized extravagant spectacles, each more lavish than the next. They built imposing monuments, ever larger to outdo their predecessors and rivals. Over centuries, the Maya leaders elevated themselves far above their subjects. Yet in the end, these all-powerful rulers were caught in a trap of their own making.
Join us Thursday, December 1 from 11 am to noon EST as we live blog from the ROM during the launch event for the Burgess Shale Virtual Museum of Canada. This online exhibition is the most current and comprehensive resource for knowledge on one of the world's most important fossil sites.
The November 16 media preview for Maya: Secrets of their Ancient World was an auspicious debut for this exciting international effort.
The Globe & Mail, National Post, Toronto Star, and numerous CBC television and radio shows, both English and French, were among the 60+ different media outlets attending the morning event. The city's Spanish-language journalists were also well-represented among the approximately 125 guests.
Originally published in the Summer 2010 edition of ROM Magazine.

Beckett brought a large problem to my attention which was that a single vendor, TriplePlayVintage in OH, had sold me about $3k in altered cards, about 15% of the cards the dealer sold me over several years. When confronted, TPV's reply was to "try PSA" which coincided with a large number of PSA 9's TPV was suddenly posting on their eBay store. Fortunately I got most of my money back from TPV. With that experience I decided to understand more about altered cards and some of the graders at Beckett helped to educate me personally on how to detect doctored cards. I wound up inspecting my entire vintage collection including all my PSA and SGC cards. The Clemente I referred to is my only tangible example of a likely trimmed and graded SGC card but I have several examples of trimmed PSA cards, including 1971, 1973, and 1975 Topps. I've had similar discussions among several dealers in TX, OR, and CA and with other collectors that shared similar experiences about PSA. I will never use PSA but I will still continue to use SGC for my Latin issues and probably some pre-WWll cards, understanding that I'm detecting any doctored cards before I purchase much less submit for grading. By the way, I am a Yaz fanatic.

I don't know if that's what you did or not. I'm a pretty cynical person and don't have a whole lot of faith in people so I'd be weary of sending in cards to one company in another companies holders. I'm not being specific about either company, just overall. My belief is that one company would want to look "harder" or "better" than the other company. Not all the time obviously, but enough of the time. Better for business I guess. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if altered cards get by graders, in every company, at times. It's impossible to be 100% correct 100% of the time. On a somewhat related note, I have seen posted on various boards at times where someone will send in a modern card to be graded that they pulled out of the pack/box/whatever and have it come back as altered/trimmed. Reason being is that the card was cut short at the factory. I know that happened a lot back in the good old days of cards so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case sometimes.

A Randomized Phase III Trial of Adjuvant Therapy Comparing Chemotherapy Alone (Six Cycles of Docetaxel Plus Cyclophosphamide or Four Cycles of Doxorubicin Plus Cyclophosphamide Followed by Weekly Paclitaxel) to Chemotherapy Plus Trastuzumab in Women with Node-Positive or High-Risk Node-Negative HER2-Low Invasive Breast Cancer
Breast - Female | Breast Cancer
What is the purpose of this trial?
NSABP B-47, a Phase III, multicenter, open-label, randomized adjuvant therapy trial, will compare the value of adding trastuzumab to chemotherapy relative to chemotherapy without trastuzumab in women with resected node-positive or high-risk node-negative HER2-low invasive breast cancer. For the B-47 trial, HER2-low is defined as either an IHC score of 1+ or an IHC score of 2+ with negative in situ hybridization.
This trial will determine whether the addition of trastuzumab to standard chemotherapy regimens improves invasive disease-free survival relative to chemotherapy alone. Secondary aims include determining whether the addition of trastuzumab to chemotherapy improves disease-free survival, breast cancer-free survival, recurrence-free interval, distant recurrence-free interval, and overall survival relative to chemotherapy alone. Additionally, the toxicities of the regimens will be compared.

Dozens of local farmers took a break from their busy schedules to explore the new 14,500 square foot store, get a glimpse of the latest equipment and enjoy a giant crawfish boil.
Conveniently located on U.S. Highway 61, Bolivar County farmers will now have a closer option for shopping at the select Caterpillar machinery dealer for North Mississippi.
John Thompson, owner, general sales manager and ag manager, is happy to set up shop in the county so local farmers will no longer have to travel to Thompson's closest branch in Greenwood.
"We've really enjoyed coming here to provide services in Boyle and the Cleveland area," said Thompson. "This building has exceeded our expectations and we've already received encouraging feedback from local growers.
"We're about lasting relationships at Thompson and we've been in business for about 70 years. The lasting relationships applies not just to our customers but also the long term partnerships with the local community."
Fellow community members and elected officials were also on hand for the celebration.
"We're extremely happy they chose to put the facility in Boyle," said Mayor Joe Wayne Reed. "It's going to help the farmers to have a local place to operate from. Overall, it's just great for our little town."
Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President Judson Thigpen said it should provide a boost to local commerce.
"We're very excited for Boyle and Bolivar County," said Thigpen. "Anytime we can bring new business to the area it's great for everybody. We're looking forward to working with them and we're proud to have them."
The concept of Thompson Agriculture is a new approach for the well-established Thompson Machinery Commerce, said advertising manager Mark Bird.
"This will be our first facility dedicated to agriculture," he said, explaining that other Thompson sites provide services for construction, power generation, forestry, laser products, paving and more.
One goal of the new location is to spread awareness of the latest products available to the Delta agricultural community.
"The agriculture market is important to our organization's growth and expansion in the Delta region," added Thompson.
In addition to Caterpillar products, the new site will offer Challenger tractors, Sunflower tillage equipment from AGCO and LEXION combines from CLAAS.
Dale Smith, who will temporarily serve as product support manager for the Boyle and Greenwood branches, said all the options should help reel in more Bolivar County customers.
"Hopefully we'll capture some customers in the area," he said. "Talking with local farmers, they're happy we've established the facility here. I've heard a lot of good things.
"We think we've got the best products on the market."
Excitement is in the air and Thompson is thrilled to be the latest option.
"We believe this is an exciting addition to the Delta agricultural community," said Thompson. "Our mission is 'Superior Services. Innovative Solutions. Lasting Relationships.'"

I am wanting to start a simple daily comic. I basically want to be able to dump some pictures in a directory and for the CMS to serve them in order (they are named like comic_0001.png
, comic_0002.png
, etc), and provide things such as an archive view, and user commenting. I have some custom PHP software written to do everything but commenting, but instead of trying to deal with writing my own, I figured there had to be someone who had done it before.
So is there a CMS that can do this job easily without vast modifications?
Basically, I will never provide any kind of title for comics or anything else. I just want for the CMS to expose a new comic every day with the least intervention from me. I want to just dump numbered images into a directory and the CMS serve the ones it should (like, not serve the latest ones that aren't supposed to be up until some other day, but just expose one per day) automatically.

Police pursuit ends when man drives onto wet cement in Oak Creek
A shoplifting suspect who was being pursued by South Milwaukee police was arrested in Oak Creek after he drove his car into wet cement in a construction area Oct. 24.
According to the Oak Creek police log:
About 11:45 a.m., South Milwaukee police reported a 45-year-old Oak Creek man was driving west on Drexel Avenue, approaching Howell Avenue, when he drove over the median and began driving west in the eastbound lanes of traffic. The vehicle finally became disabled after the man drove through wet cement in a construction area near Howell and Drexel avenues.
Construction workers told police the driver and his passenger, an unidentified female, exited the vehicle and fled on foot. Officers found the man in the 8100 block of South Wynona Drive and took him into custody.
The man also was wanted on a Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office warrant for retail theft. He was turned over to South Milwaukee police.

Franklin girls basketball coach Tony Kathrens recognizes the look and the swagger that the defending WIAA state champion Oak Creek squad now carries about itself.
It was the same look and swagger the Sabers had against the Knights about 10 years ago.
"Thery couldn't beat us no matter how hard they tried," he said. "Now the shoe is on the other foot. We're just having a very hard time with them lately."
As was the case tonight in Franklin, when the two-time defending Southeast Conference champion Knights took a big step towards another crown with a physical and not really as close as it looked, 46-32 decision over the Sabers.
With the win, the Knights took a commanding two-game lead in the Southeast at 9-0 in league games (13-4 overall) while second place Franklin dropped to 7-2 in league and 12-4 overall. Both Southeast losses have come to the Knights as Oak Creek has now won five games in a row over Franklin.
» Read Full ArticleYetka's late lay-up rallies Oak Creek boys to victory over Franklin, 41-39
There were about 25 seconds left in a 39-all game with archrival Franklin on Friday night and Oak Creek junior guard Harrison Cleary was danged if he was going to let the Knight boys basketball team lose another close one like they had so many of this year.
The feisty Sabers had clamped a diamond and one defense on him and limited him to just two points, about 16 points below his per game average.
So he had a simple mantra to his team as they came out of the final huddle with Franklin holding both the ball and the opportunity to pull out a small upset.
"'We've had enough of these close losses, it's our time' I said," said Cleary.
So when the Franklin shot missed with about 10 seconds to go, Cleary won the scramble for the rebound and looked ahead in amazement to see two teammates flying down the court unguarded.

Oak Creek man who killed wife of 55 years sentenced to 8 years in prison
Jack Lang had always been a provider, a family leader, a doer, even into retirement. So when the infirmities of age began to limit his abilities, his wife of 55 years — herself blinded by macular degeneration — began to lobby for them both to move into an assisted living center.
Lang, 77, did not cotton to the idea. One day in April, in response to what he said was June Lang's belittling of him and nagging on the subject, Lang shot her in the head at their Oak Creek home with a .22 caliber revolver he kept in a closet. Despite three attempts to take his own life, Lang managed only a graze wound to his temple. Then he called 911.
Lang pursued an insanity defense to the charge of first degree intentional homicide, but doctors' findings did not support it, and he later pleaded guilty to first degree reckless homicide.
On Friday, a judge sentenced him to eight years in prison, as his family tearfully looked on. His attorney, Michael F. Hart, had suggested three years would suffice, given Lang's age and history of good character.
Having to spend his remaining years reliving how he killed the woman he loved for 55 years would trump any punishment a court could impose, Hart said.

Oak Creek — Plan commissioners approved design plans of Emerald Row apartments at Drexel Town Square, applauding the "urban and pedestrian feel" it will bring to the developing downtown.

Oak Creek — Oak Creek High School may soon offer boys volleyball and girls golf.
Scott Holler, athletic and activities director, proposed the creation of the two sports during a recent school board meeting, citing that OCHS is the only school in the Southeastern Conference to not offer these sports.
"I do feel (Oak Creek) is a community that would embrace this and want to have it," said Holler.
Both boys volleyball and girls golf would be fall sports. Holler proposed an initial budget of $29,240 to create both sports.
One way to off-set the start-up cost would be to increase student athletes' annual athletic fee, which is currently $20, said Holler.

- 2 pounds ground sirloin
- 1/4 cup Zinfandel
- 1/4 cup lightly packed minced fresh basil
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 1/4 cup fresh Italian bread crumbs
- 8 sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- Vegetable oil, for brushing on the grill rack
- 8 large basil sprigs, moistened with water, for grilling
- 6 large seeded sandwich rolls, split
- 6 slices Monterey Jack cheese
- 6 red leaf lettuce leaves
- 6 (1/4-inch-thick) large tomato slices
- 6 paper-thin red onion slices, separated into rings
- 6 basil sprigs, for serving
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto
1. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.

3. To make the patties, combine the sirloin, Zinfandel, basil, onion, bread crumbs, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic salt in a large bowl. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the rolls.
4. When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Toss the moistened basil sprigs directly onto the fire. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a cheese slice.
5. To assemble the burgers, spread the mayonnaise over the cut sides of the rolls. On each roll bottom, place a lettuce leaf, a patty, a tomato slice, an onion slice, and a basil sprig. Add the roll tops and serve.
