AT&T Park, San Francisco, California
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Two weeks after helping the United States capture the bronze medal in the Beijing Olympics, San Francisco rookie Nate Schierholtz collected another souvenir.
Schierholtz hit his first major league home run and Rich Aurilia and Scott McClain also homered to help the Giants rally from a three-run deficit to finally beat the Pittsburgh Pirates at home, 7-6 on Saturday night."You don't want a guy up there thinking home run," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "But he's been swinging the bat well and when he squares up and gets it up in the air, it's going to go."Bengie Molina had three hits for San Francisco, which snapped a seven-game losing streak at home against Pittsburgh. The Giants, who won for only the third time in 17 games overall against the Pirates, hadn't beaten the Bucs at AT&T Park since June 8, 2006.Schierholtz was part of the American team that lost to Cuba in the semifinals before beating Japan to win the bronze medal at the Summer Games in Beijing last month. He returned to the United States and joined the Giants' Triple-A team in Fresno before being called up last Tuesday.Schierholtz struck out in the second against Pittsburgh, singled in the fourth and grounded into an inning-ending double-play in the sixth before leading off the eighth with a solo home run off reliever Jesse Chavez. He is the 10th San Francisco rookie to hit his first major league home run this season.Members of Schierholtz's family had to barter for the return of the ball, which the young slugger will place alongside the bronze medal at his home for now."I wouldn't really compare those two," Schierholtz said. "The bronze is a huge deal just as far as being proud of playing for the U.S., but those two things within about a month's span feels pretty good."McClain, the 36-year-old infielder who was called up from the minors on Monday, hit the first pitch he saw from reliever John Grabow for a two-run homer that capped San Francisco's five-run seventh inning. It came four days after McClain became the oldest position player to hit his first major league home run since 1955."That one felt a lot better than the first one, especially to do it here in San Francisco and put us ahead like that," McClain said. "It felt pretty good. I'm pretty happy about that."Geno Espinelli (2-0) pitched a third of an inning for the win while closer Brian Wilson worked 1 2/3 innings for his 37th save in 40 chances despite giving up a run in the ninth. It was the longest save outing by Wilson since he got five outs against Milwaukee on Aug. 25, 2007.Freddy Sanchez had four hits and two RBIs for Pittsburgh, which blew a 4-1 lead and ruined a strong outing by starter Paul Maholm.Maholm allowed seven hits over six innings and struck out five but was shut out of the decision after manager John Russell made the call to the bullpen."It wasn't an easy outing for him," Russell said. "He didn't have his stuff tonight and he found a way to get out of it. It was the time of the game he had done all he could do."The Giants offense, which was stymied for most of the evening, came to life once Maholm left.Reliever Denny Bautista (4-2) gave up four runs and three hits with a walk, retiring just two batters. Bautista left the game after allowing the tying run to score on a wild pitch followed by a single by Bengie Molina.John Grabow came in, and McClain followed with a towering two-run home run to left to give San Francisco a 6-4 lead."Honestly I didn't think he was going to be swinging first pitch in that situation," Grabow said. "But obviously he was hitting first pitch heater and he got it so it's just one of those things."San Francisco had lost eight of its previous 10 games.Aurilia homered on a 1-0 pitch off Maholm leading off the fourth, ending a streak of 23 consecutive scoreless innings thrown by Pittsburgh pitchers at AT&T Park dating back to last season.In a ceremony before the game the Giants unveiled a nine-foot bronze statue commemorating the career of Hall of Fame first baseman Orlando Cepeda. Cepeda is the fourth former Giants player to have a statue erected in his honor, joining Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Juan Marichal.As part of the day-long tribute to Cepeda, San Francisco players wore jerseys bearing the "GIGANTES" logo.Barry Bonds, baseball's home run king, attended the event but did not speak to the crowd.Game notes
Before the game the Giants purchased the contract of 3B Conor Gillaspie from Single-A Salem-Keizer and outrighted OF Clay Timpner to Triple-A Fresno. Gillaspie was the 37th player overall selected in last June's draft.

Ferguson hails evergreen James
Preston manager Darren Ferguson paid a glowing tribute to David James for the magnificent save which denied Preston a morale-boosting victory at Bristol City.With the visitors leading through an early Iain Hume goal, James kept City in the game by stretching every sinew to fingertip Jon Parkin's curling 61st-minute shot onto the crossbar.The home side levelled nine minutes later when Billy Jones diverted a Marvin Elliott header into his own net and the two npower Championship strugglers had to settle for a share of the spoils."The save by James was world class and proved a turning point in the game," Ferguson said. "If we had scored a second goal then I'm sure we would have gone on to win."I'm really pleased with the performance of my team and we are bitterly disappointed not to have won."Getting an early goal was really important because I'm sure Bristol aimed to start the game quickly and put us under pressure. We have a really big week ahead with home games against Barnsley and Hull, but we can take a lot of confidence from this display."

I thought he would win all three and the only one I though may be close was Cotto but I knew after the first half he was always going to be in trouble because he always starts going backwards and fights piss-poor going backwards, so if Manny would survive the beginning he was always going to win because Manny is good enough to make Cotto retreat. Those aren't tough matchups, to me. Atleast to provide question that Manny may not be able to answer. Last edited by The Gambler1981; 11-18-2010 at 04:41 PM. |

Flock of Angels Book 3
Posted in Manga Reviews on July 5, 2008 by Johannaby Shoko Hamada; adapted by Michelle Ma
published by Aurora Publishing; $10.95 US
The series concludes in this volume. I haven't read book two, so I'm not sure how Shea wound up living in the mountains with a mysterious black-winged girl.
Her people can fully retract their wings, unlike him. So even where he might fit in, he doesn't, although most are nice enough to him. Still, there are a bunch of weird things about their society, things Shea finds wrong and disturbing. However, they risk dying out, unless something can be done to bring them in contact with both humans and the white-winged group.
Those who've read the previous books will enjoy this most, since the characters aren't always introduced again (nor should they be). The conflict here, trying to find out why wings are appearing earlier and earlier, so that now winged babies are being born, is somewhat academic.
There's a lot of discussion about how different groups should behave in terms of the greater society: should they stay separate, or should they mix even if it means losing their uniqueness? The book is very talky throughout. Mostly, it's just people having conversations. Given that, it's unfortunate that the heads can be either oddly shaped (drawing attention for the wrong reason) or not particularly distinctive in appearance (not keeping attention). It's a shame that, in a book about people with wings, more impressive things weren't done with the art.
The message, though, kept me going. It's beautiful, about hope for the future and kids accepting diversity.
I have previously reviewed book one. There are preview pages at the publisher's website. (A complimentary copy for this review was provided by the publisher.)

Week of Prayer
They say you don't reallly know a person until you walk a mile in their shoes. Well, Dr. Andrea King's shoes definitely have a story to tell. They have been all over this country and several other contires carrying the good new of God. Her ministry has taken her throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and the continent of Africa. A sought after speaker, she has been speaking since she was fourteen. Though she has traveled to many places, she now calls San Bernardino, CA home, where she serves as the senior pastor of the 16th Street SDA Church. She is also President of the Black Adventist Ministerial Fellowship (BAMF) and the author of the book, "Finding Christ."
Her shoes have walked the halls of learning at Oakwood University, Andrews University and Fuller Theological Seminary. More notable is the fact, her shoes walked down the aisle to wed her partner in life and ministry, Kurt King. The fruit of that marriage keeps her running after two young children.
It has been said the race is not given to the swift or to the strong, but to the one who endures to the end. It is the running this race that brings Dr. King the most joy. In this race, the path is straight. Her steps are ordered. And through Jesus Christ, her victory is sure.

Poor people waiting in the cold for some food handouts... This was embarrassing to read.
When will that nation wake up from its three and a half decade long bad dream?
A SCHEME to help Iran's poorest has embarrassed President Hassan Rohani. On February 2nd, the government began distributing long-promised food packages to help struggling Iranians. But bad planning caused it to go wrong, triggering a local outcry and denting the president's popularity.
First, there was confusion over who would receive aid. Initially, the government announced that the food packages of rice, chicken, eggs, oil and cheese, worth 800,000 rial ($32), would be offered to up to 17m citizens, including workers, the retired, married students and clergymen.
But a day before the distribution started, the government declared that only citizens earning less than 5m rial ($200) per month would qualify. Then, in an echo of the glitches that plagued Obama's healthcare scheme, the websites for people to check their eligibility didn't work.
All over Tehran, the capital, and in cities across the country, Iranians queued for hours in sub-zero temperatures, only to be told they did not qualify for help. Local media published photos of people fighting over food, and, rather sensationally, compared the situation to North Korea. State media reported that two people had died from the cold.
Until now, the Iranian government has maintained popularity at home, having delivered on its promise to break the international deadlock over Iran's nuclear program. But this blunder has hurt the poorest Iranians, who have yet to feel any relief from the past years' economic woes, which are partly caused by Western sanctions. Local economists reckon inflation is as high as 100% in rural areas.
The spectacle has publicly embarrassed the government in the eyes of the middle and upper class too. Many took to social media to complain that it was undignified to see Iranians line up to prove their poverty to the authorities. Hamid Rasaei, an MP, called the food aid a "beggar-raising method". Parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani, a prominent conservative, demanded that the government make speedy changes to the method of distribution. Uncharacteristically for an Iranian president, Mr Rohani apologised in a televised address.
Criticism came for other reasons, too. Some economists questioned whether the Iranian government can afford to be so generous. Qasem Jafari, a parliamentarian, reckons food aid has added further to Iran's already soaring budget deficit, which is expected to hit 500 trillion rials ($20 billion) in the coming year. But it is difficult to dismantle the subsidies. The former administration removed them from basic goods and services, but replaced them with monthly cash payments.

Poor people waiting in the cold for some food handouts... This was embarrassing to read.
When will that nation wake up from its three and a half decade long bad dream?
Looks like they're starting to wake up at least. The most liberal man in the presidential race won, and after winning promptly appointed liberals and western-"friendly" officials to as many key positions as he could.
The thing you have to realize is that despite its outward appearance and theocratic government, Iran actually isn't as conservative as people seem to think. Closed off? Yes, but not both ways -- people inside Iran regularly consume foreign media and maintain contact with relatives abroad (including the millions in the US).
When Iran made a conscious effort to educate its people, the goal was to diversify its economy and dependence on oil and to establish domestic industries (like weapons and aircraft) that they lost access to. The problem with this was that as people gain education, they tend to ask questions and reject authoritarianism.

Petrov can inspire us - Sherwood
Tim Sherwood insists Stiliyan Petrov can inspire Aston Villa's strugglers after adding the ex-captain to his backroom team.
The Villa boss believes Petrov's successful battle with leukaemia will be able to help put their relegation battle in perspective.
Petrov retired in 2013 after being diagnosed with leukaemia in March 2012, although he went into remission in August of that year.
He was involved in the build up to Villa's crucial 2-1 win over West Brom on Tuesday which ended a run of seven straight...

From the podium
His Excellency Lars Sponheim (Minister for Agriculture of the Kingdom of Norway)
Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen. A newborn baby represents hope – she represents the future. Her mother will do everything in her power to protect and care for her. Still, in some parts of the world, there is a one-in-four risk that the baby will not live to see her fifth birthday. In a world of abundant global food supplies we cannot tolerate that people die from starvation. We cannot tolerate that people contract diseases due to lack of nutritious food. We cannot tolerate that people do not realize their full potential due to malnutrition. Governments have a great responsibility to do everything possible to ensure that people have physical and economic access to enough safe, nutritious food. The international community must facilitate and support the efforts of governments in their struggle against poverty and malnutrition. We must work in partnership with the UN system and all relevant international organizations. Our goal at this Summit must be to accelerate the pace of change. We know that fighting hunger is a question of fighting poverty: 1.2 billion people are living on less than a dollar a day. We also know that hunger and malnutrition lead to poverty. Without adequate food people cannot be productive in schools or jobs. Without money they cannot buy food. Poverty is thus at the core of hunger and malnutrition. Women play a special role in food security and in agricultural production. Any strategy for improving food security will, therefore, have to take women's needs as a point of departure, and this includes securing women's rights to land and property. We also know that the HIV/AIDS epidemic has a significant negative impact on agricultural production and food security. We cannot underestimate the importance of having reached agreement at the global level on the fundamental goals of development cooperation: first and foremost that poverty reduction and, ultimately, poverty eradication is acknowledged to be the overarching goal by the whole development community. The agreement on the Millennium Development Goals also reinforces the commitments made at the World Food Summit in 1996 and further underlines the strong link between poverty and hunger. We must all cooperate to coordinate our efforts in the context of national poverty reduction strategies. I believe that one important strategy for achieving food security and improving the livelihoods of the rural poor is to take a rights-based approach. My delegation notes with much satisfaction that the Declaration from this Summit provides for the establishment of an intergovernmental working group on the right to food. The working group shall formulate a set of voluntary guidelines to support states in realizing the right to food. I regret, however, that it was not possible to get consensus on the concept of a "Code of Conduct" considering the more concise normative implications of this concept. Nonetheless, I hope that the Summit Declaration will set in motion a process which will lead to a valuable instrument. My hope is that it will have the same function as a "Code of Conduct" on the right to adequate food, and in fact lead to such a code in the future. Food security for all should in every case be at the core of national poverty reduction strategies. We live in a time of accelerating urbanization, and yet the majority of the world's poor still live in rural areas. The rural poor are highly dependent on a farm economy for their livelihoods. Far too little is invested in rural development. FAO analyses indicate that we may see a greater shortage of food and other commodities 10 to 15 years from now. To meet this challenge, there may be a need to increase food production in both high and low potential areas. At the national level, food security may best be achieved through a combination of domestic production, stable access to world markets and stockholding. In many developing countries increasing domestic production remains a priority. The share of international development assistance allocated for agricultural development has been declining for many years. This trend must be reversed. We, for our part, are in the process of developing a strategy for increasing Norway's development assistance in this field. I recognize the importance of research in agricultural development. New technologies emerge as the result of research. Biotechnology, as one of these new technologies, should however be developed and used in a safe manner, respecting biosafety and the precautionary principle. Strengthening the agricultural sector is seen as one of the available means of advancing business development in the south. My Government will assess its agricultural policy with a view to further opening our markets to products from developing countries. We wish to ensure tht the least developed countries, in particular, secure a share in the growth of world trade. As of 1 July this year, Norway will be providing duty – and quota – free market access to all products from the least developed countries. Before closing, allow me to appeal to all parties present to sign and ratify the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources as soon as possible. In this context, we would also like to emphasize the significance of Farmers' Rights. Norway has signed the Treaty during the Summit and will prepare ratification within a short period of time. We are gathered here because we have failed to live up to the commitments that we made five years ago. Together, we have the power to change this. We have the power to let the mothers of newborn children sleep easier, with fewer worries. We have the power to make the world a more food-secure place. The task is daunting. But it can be done. It must be done. Our children will not forgive us if we do not succeed. Thank you.

Nash: Tunica Airport going 'green'
Starting in May, the Tunica Airport will begin using a new fuel hydrant system that will give the facility a "green" designation.
Director Cliff Nash said this week that the hydrant system replaces mobile units that are currently in use. The new system will also save about $43,000 per year, he added.
This change is one of several improvements that are being considered at the facility. Airport officials traveled to Washington recently to seek approval to use $1.5 million in federal Airport Improvement Program funds toward construction of a new 20,000 square foot hangar. Nash said the current hangar is at capacity, with Covington Aircraft operating from it and with 15 private aircraft now based here, including two Lear 45 jets that are owned by Dillard's. Dillard's has expressed interest in basing a larger aircraft here, but that is on hold until more hangar space becomes available, Nash said.

Aldeasona Tinto Del Pais 2005
- Castilla Y Leon
- Spain
Professional Wine Reviews for Aldeasona Tinto Del Pais 2005Additional information » |
The ancient, arid and beautiful region of Castilla y Leon is the largest in Spain, and amongst the largest single 'regions' in any country of Europe. It has been famed throughout the centuries for its architecture, its people, its art and literature, and not least for its characterful and flavorful wines, which capture the beating heart and passion of Spain and Spanish culture. Castilla y Leon is essentially a vast plateau, and is extremely dry, with a poor soil structure which one might think would make viticulture difficult, if not impossible. However, Castilla y Leon has plenty of native grape varietals which are able to stretch their roots deep underground, to tap into the moisture and minerals which can be found there.
For over two thousand years, Spain has been responsible for much of Europe's wine production, making the very best of native grape varietals, and more recently experimenting with and perfecting wines made from imported grapes. Of course, the region of La Rioja is renowned world-wide for the quality and characteristics of its wines, which benefit greatly from the warm, dry continental climate of the area, and the fertile soils of the Ebro river basin. However, there is far more to Spanish produce than the complex, aromatic and earthy red wine of this region, as a result of the vast range of wine making traditions and practices, and terrains and climatic conditions found across the country. The region Castilla y Leon produces some of Europe's finest white wines, and the sparkling wines of Cava and the sherries of Jerez are firm favorites for wine lovers around the world.

Could a consumer group's report lead to a Zhu Zhu pet recall?
(Read article summary)A consumer group's test says a Zhu Zhu pets recall might be in order after toxic chemicals were discovered on Mr. Squiggles.
Laguna Niguel/Newscom
Could Mr. Squiggles be harboring too much of two toxic metals? That's the opinion of Good Guide, which released a review Friday in which it found potentially unsafe levels of tin and antimony on Mr. Squiggles. The report raises questions about whether there will be a Zhu Zhu pets recall.
The company that manufactures Zhu Zhu pets, Cepia LLC, reacted strongly to the news, maintaining that there is nothing wrong with its motorized hamsters.
"We are disputing the findings of Good Guide and we are 100 percent confident that Mr. Squiggles, and all other Zhu Zhu Toys, are safe and compliant with all U.S. and European standards for consumer health and safety in toys," said Russ Hornsby, CEO of Cepia LLC, the company that makes Zhu Zhu pets, in a press release.
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 limits antimony to no more than 60 parts per million. Good Guide says it found 93 ppm in Mr. Squiggles' fur and 103 in its nose.

Created: 03/26/2014 7:35 AM KAALtv.com
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Fewer security screeners and increased peak time travel has prompted Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to issue a new advisory.
Airport officials say travelers are urged to arrive 2½ hours before their domestic flight, extending the old advisory by a-half hour. Airport spokesman Patrick Hogan says there have been too many people that have missed their flights recently.
Hogan tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press the biggest reason for longer security lines is staffing changes at the federal Transportation Security Administration. Fewer security checkpoints are open and there aren't as many TSA personnel working to screen passengers.
Hogan says two other reasons are that air travel has increased 6 percent from last year and that airlines have condensed more flights into the early morning.

Futbol Focus, the new soccer specific social network, is calling on clubs, non-profit organizations and their members to take the time to formally acknowledge its volunteers and the tireless work they on a daily basis to make sure the engine room of grassroots soccer continues to power ahead.
General Partner, Ryan Ginard, stated that there were numerous ways clubs could show their appreciation to volunteers including formal recognition ceremonies or just a simple thank you.
"We know the majority of club administrators put in countless hours in a volunteer capacity and that often it's a thankless task. It's important that clubs regularly celebrate all they have achieved and those that helped achieve it" Ginard said.
International Volunteer Day, December 5, is about taking action and encouraging individuals and their respective communities to be at the center of social change – discovering and actively demonstrating their collective power to foster positive transformation.
Mr Ginard also maintained that grassroots clubs (regardless of their geography or demographics)
"Getting involved with your local club is easy, but ultimately up to the individual to take that first step. Pick up the phone or send a simple email. Let these clubs know you are here and happy to help.
"Volunteers are priceless to these organizations and without them the sport would struggle to develop the international talent we spend hours passionately following and cheering for.
"It also provides people the opportunity to give back to the sport that no doubt has given so much to them and we here at Futbol Focus hope that IVD can provide the catalyst for a new wave of enthusiasm in our grassroots clubs" Ginard said.
Clubs can post their volunteer opportunities through the Futbol Focus social network via its classifieds section (with localized plugins) and interact with other clubs to share best practices through the raft of other community features contained within the site.

Vendee Globe
****, I am really sad with what happened to Marc and even more with what happened to Kito. It is supposed the motorboats to keep away from sailing but I guess this one was fishing so it is Kito fault. The important thing is that he had to retire from the race and it is the second one do have to do so. Stupid accident
I am cursed. The Vendée Globe is not for me. That was the conclusion of the bitterly disappointed Kito de Pavant this Monday afternoon, despairing at the harsh reality that his challenge to complete the Vendée Globe is, again, very prematurely over.
For the second successive edition of the race this charismatic, twinkle eyed skipper from Port Camargue in the Mediterranean is having to withdraw.
His Groupe Bel suffered serious damage when he was hit by a fishing trawler whilst racing in 11th place, around 45 miles off the Portuguese coast about 75 miles NW of Cascais at around 1000hrs CET this morning.
De Pavant described it as a stupid accident grabbing some minutes of sleep when he was awoken by a bang. With damage to Groupe Bels outrigger the deck spreader which supports the rig losing his bowsprit and sustaining a hole in the hull and deck he announced his retirement this afternoon.
The Groupe Bel skippers second attempt at the Vendée Globe effectively ended a little more than 68 hours after the start, a cruel reprise after he lost his mast within 24 hours of the start of the 2008-9 race.
He is unhurt and was making to Cascais where he was expected to arrive this Tuesday evening.
All of that energy spent over months and years to prepare, all this is terrible. There is no bowsprit, there is a hole in the front of the hull but the boat itself is safe.To leave the Vendée Globe again, after just two days of racing, is not even possible, not even possible. De Pavant told his team this afternoon.

Report recommends student athletes stay out of classroom after concussion
POSTED: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 - 4:47am
UPDATED: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 - 3:08pm
EL PASO (KTSM) — A new report finds a concussion should not only take student athletes off the field, it could also keep some of them out of school.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended children with severe symptoms stay home from school until they are cleared by their doctor.
"We're talking about the brain and the number one thing you use when you're in the classroom is the brain," said Claudia Garduno with Spine and Rehab Specialists. "We're asking students to learn things, to process things, to be listening and be attentive, but when the brain is injured, obviously that's going to be a big difficulty for them."
Studies show it usually takes about three weeks for a school-aged athlete to recover from a concussion.
Garduno said victims need to get help immediately so they can find out the severity of the concussion.
"I check and screen their neck. I check their vestibular system. We do some balance screening as well and then we perform a neurocognitive test," said Garduno.
Garduno said it's important for students and their parents take their recovery seriously.
"I don't understand why some people consider a knee injury more devastating than a brain injury. It really shouldn't be viewed that way," said Garduno. "We really need to change our views on how we're thinking and everything."
Spine and Rehab Specialists offer a free test to check a person's balance, movement and neurocognitive functions. They encourage students get one before they start playing sports, so if they believe they have a concussion, their doctor has something to compare and it's easier to diagnose.

Yes, my wife and I have both paid $600+ for several courses.
I am always amazed by how many "gun guys" (and gals) have no problem buying numerous guns, but then balk at paying for good training.
In my opinion, once you have a good EDC gun, a duplicate of your EDC gun, a "deep concealment"/back up gun, a good defensive rifle, and a good defensive shotgun, you should focus your firearms funds on getting good training.
Then after that, go ahead and buy many more guns!

Knoxville residents save two people from fiery car crash
KNOXVILLE — Firefighters credited two Northwest Knoxville residents for their quick-thinking efforts to save the lives of two people from a fiery car crash Thursday night.
The Knoxville Fire Department was called to a single-vehicle crash about 7:30 p.m. on the 1400 block of Murray Drive near Wilkerson Road when a 2000 Ford Taurus struck a tree head-on, said KFD Capt. Dean Fontaine.
A nearby resident came outside to find the car on fire. The man sent his daughter to retrieve a fire extinguisher from their home while he attempted to pull two male occupants out of the wreck, Fontaine said.
Normally, "You never move a trauma victim … although that's everyone's first instinct," the fire captain said.
This situation, however, proved to be the exception to the rule, as the car was on fire.
"There was an immediate threat to the passengers' lives," said Fontaine. "It's been like 15 years since I've heard of a call where they pulled them out when they were supposed to pull them out."
Neither occupant was wearing a seat belt, although the car's air bags deployed, he said. Both victims, who were not identified, were transported with serious injuries to the University of Tennessee Medical Center where they were expected to undergo surgery.
Fontaine identified the good Samaritan as David Ball. The man could not immediately be reached for comment tonight.
A second, unidentified neighbor also came to the scene and helped the man pull the second victim from the car, before they doused the flames with a household fire extinguisher, Fontaine said.
"It always impresses me when a bystander puts himself at risk like that," the captain said.
More details as they develop online and in Friday's News Sentinel.

UNCW Senior Economics Professor Doctor Woody Hall held an economics forum today.
He said that our regions economy is doing better than the rest of the state and the country, but that we could be doing a lot better.
He predicts growth will continue in the area but at a slower rate due to gas prices, a rise in unemployment and a slow down in retail sales.
Since 2002, Brunswick, Pender and New Hanover counties economy has grown on average of about six percent.
Back in 2004, our area saw its largest grown spurt at 9.6 percent. Shift forward three years and the rate is at 3 percent.
"I'm not really excited about what's happening. We were a much more exciting place to live in three or four years ago than we are right now," said Hall.
Hall also predicts that housing sales and purchases will hit an all-time low by the end of the year. Hall believes the housing market will improve once it reaches it's lowest point, which he predicts will be late this year or early next year.
The good news is that overall employment is rising -- just at a slower rate.
Brunswick County has the highest unemployment rate compared to New Hanover County and Pender County. Brunswick County's unemployment rate is slightly higher than North Carolina's average, but better than in years before.
Compared to other parts of the state, southeastern North Carolina is moving forward, just a little slower.
Hall said Wilmington's international airport continues to see a lot of growth in passengers as well.

Jailed US citizen Bae speaks at Pyongyang briefing: Reports
Published on Jan 20, 2014 7:47 PM
TOKYO (AFP) - Kenneth Bae, the US citizen jailed in North Korea for more than a year, appealed to go home at a brief news conference in Pyongyang Monday, reports said.
The Korean-American admitted to wrongdoing and called on the US government to help secure his release so that he could return to his family "at the earliest possible date", Japan's Kyodo news agency said.
There was no way of knowing if Bae, a 45-year-old tour operator also known by his Korean name Pae Jun-Ho, was speaking under duress.
Merrill Newman, an 85-year-old US veteran detained for weeks by North Korea, said after his release that a videotaped confession he made while being held was given involuntarily.

Native American Art and Culture (National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution)
The Native American Art and Culture collection has two components. The first consists of more than 10,000 high-resolution images made from historic photographs documenting Native American subjects (portraits, scenes, etc.). These digital images have been made from glass plate negatives collected by or produced under the auspices of the Smithsonian's Bureau of American Ethnology (BAE) beginning in the late 19th century. The BAE photographic collections, supported by extensive documentation, are a foundation for our visual knowledge of the American Indian past. They were critical in shaping perceptions of Native Americans in the last quarter of the 19th century and thereafter and they constitute an unparalleled visual record of historic Native American art and culture. The subjects treated in these photographs range from studio portraits of individual Native Americans to tribal scenes, documenting treaty councils, official expeditions of exploration, and early anthropological and archeological inquiry in America. All major tribal groups are represented, many having been photographed during formal meetings of tribal delegations with members of Congress. The second component of this collection consists of approximately 2,000 Plains Indian ledger drawings. Mostly produced in the middle to late decades of the 19th century, these drawings represent an important indigenous artistic tradition of great and increasing interest to art historians and other scholars. Often done on the pages of ruled ledger books acquired through trade, these works on paper continue a long tradition of painting on buffalo hides and other available media.
These two archives are among the most heavily used resources in the Smithsonian's National Anthropological Archives. This digital version should be invaluable to art historians, anthropologists, cultural historians, and indeed to all scholars, curators, teachers and students who deal with American and Native American art, history and culture, as well as to scholars engaged with the study of cross-cultural encounters.

Education Secretary Arnie Duncan and Attorney General Eric Holder were in Chicago today to talk about a "plague" of violence that is taking children's lives.
The Justice Department took the opportunity to release a study with a pretty staggering finding: More than 60% of American children surveyed are exposed to violence. The author's definition of "violence" is extremely broad – do you experience it, a family member, your school? But the point is that many of our nation's children are living amongst violence.
Our reporter in Chicago spoke with Dr. Dennis Vickers, the chairman of pediatrics at Sinai Children's Hospital. Dr. Vickers, who sadly deals with children with gunshot wounds, had this to say: "The kids in our community, it's not even a question of what they're seeing on T.V. cause they're seeing it in their front yard. They're seeing is on their way to school, they're seeing it in their living room."

text: the Patriots would be able to broker a deal that also got them a receiver in return. I would really have liked seeing DJ Hackett come over as part of the trade. Oh well. Deion is now amongst the over-paid wannabees. I am sure that he will do well because Seattle has a good QB in Hasslebeck and they have 2 other WRs in Engram and Jackson who will help to free Branch up. But he will be in the annals of the liars. Just like Johnny Damon.

The part that I ordered was broken in shipping due to not being packed properly. It took me some time to make contact with the vendor, including several phone calls and emails. On the initial contact, I arranged to ship the damaged one back, but the person I talked to did not mention anything about getting a replacement. It took another call to determine how to get a new parts shipped to me. The replacement part arrived yesterday and I installed it on my car. Now, I am waiting for instructions on where to ship the used part I removed from my car to get my core deposit credited to my account.

Those are the impressions gained from analyzing the results of this year's PharmSource Pharmaceutical Technology Outsourcing Survey, administered during June and July 2013. PharmSource and Pharmaceutical Technology have been conducting the survey for more than 10 years.
Those subdued assessments of business conditions may reflect expectations more than actual performance. Only 28% of sell-siders view business in 2013 as "better than expected" while in the 2012 survey 49% were pleasantly surprised. Clearly, many service providers went into 2013 expecting strong performance while their expectations going into 2012 were more tentative.
