South Johnston bounces back from big loss to stay perfect against Corinth Holders
It was one of those pitcher's duels that looked unbreakable until one mistake changed everything.
But one Corinth Holders error set up South Johnston for four unearned runs in the fifth inning, and the Trojans rolled to a 5-0 win that broke their four-game losing streak Friday night at soggy Bruce Coats Field.
The win over their county rivals improved the Trojans to 4-4, 1-1 in their first season in the new Two Rivers 3A Conference, while the Pirates – who were 2A last season – fell to 4-5 and 1-1.
Leadoff man Josh Stikeleather had three hits with an RBI for the Trojans, who finished with six hits including a double and a single from Nash Johnson.
"I wish I could tell you there was something we did different tonight," said South coach Keith Durham, whose team is 5-0 all-time against the Pirates. "We just came together tonight. This was a great high school game – the Corinth Holders pitcher was outstanding and we got a big break.
"We got beat up last night when Sanderson came in and 10-runned us, so I was glad we were mentally ready to play."
Oakley Wallrich had two hits for Corinth Holders, which committed two errors.
"I thought early on we pitched well," first-year Pirate coach Adam Weaver said. "Jake Lewis did a good job. But we didn't give him much help. We've got to get bunts down and hitting ground balls low and hard somewhere especially on a wet field.
"The bottom of the fifth, we made two errors with two outs. And against good ball games like South Johnston you can't do that."
Junior righthander Cody Allen (2-0) was the winner in his first career shutout, scattering six singles and striking out five against one walk.
"Tonight I came in feeling the best I have all year," Allen said. "The fastball was working early and the breaking ball was good – that's the first time all year the breaking ball has been good. I normally use my changeup a lot, but with the way the other two were working I didn't need it much. This was my best outing of the season tonight. And my new catcher (Zack Bridges) was a big part of it."
Pirate southpaw Lewis lasted 4 2/3 innings, retiring nine in a row at one point.
But the fifth inning was his undoing. With one out, he fielded Brett Clifton's grounder and bounced it past first for a two-base error. Stikeleather followed with an RBI single to right and later scored on a wild pitch. Nash Johnson hit a two-out single to center, and after Drew Mustgrave drew a walk Joey Matthews hit a two-run double to right for the 4-0 lead.
"I felt like I was pretty good," Lewis said. "Until the fifth inning came around when I was a little tired. I've just got to get more stamina up so I can be a little bit better. But I was staying fluid and wasn't being jerky.
"(Allen) was fluid and was hitting his spots. He's a good competitor."
Stikeleather said he was happy about his three-hit game against a pretty solid pitcher.
"(Lewis) commanded really well and hit his spots," Stikeleather said. "He wasn't throwing anything that was good to hit. He got ahead in the count with his breaking ball.
"I was just happy we were able to break that losing streak."

City gets update on Highway 29 tree issue
The city of Alexandria, a group of concerned business owners and the Minnesota Department of Transportation are trying to come up with a plan about what to do with the trees along the Highway 29 South corridor.
Business owners on the west side of the highway say the trees, when in full bloom, make it difficult for passing motorists to see their businesses.

The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
If you're looking to save money for your wedding then get creative and make your own flower girl baskets. They're easy to make and you'll be so proud of yourself. DIY wedding crafts are great for any bride.
- Any size basket
- Loose ribbon- any color you desire
- Tulled ribbon- any color you desire (shown is Disney Princess Bell Yellow)
- Embellishment- I used daisy adhesives
- Aleen's Fabric Glue
- Measure how much tulle you'll need to go around the basket. Be sure you measure a little extra so it can overlap in the back.
- Put glue on the back of the tulled ribbon.
- Glue onto top part of basket pressing firmly. Wait to dry.
- Once this is dry you can glue the embellished flower or whatever you choose, onto the top of the tulled ribbon. I did this only in the front, but you can go all around the basket if you wish.
- Cut loose ribbon any length you desire and tie around handle of basket. Again, I did this in front and back, but you can do how you wish.

We made our own baskets, too. I added some spare fabric from the bridesmaid dresses (or from any other wedding project) as a liner. It doesn't have to be permanent, so we just folded the edges under and hot glued it on the insides making a nice edge. It really made it look special, elegant, and coordinated beutifully.
easy and beautiful

Argentinian guard Pablo Prigioni made his NBA debut at 35. He's just one of a bunch of players arriving to the NBA after 30.
Knicks forward Louis Amundson has signed seven 10-day contracts throughout his pro career, but he's still not close to the king of the NBA journeymen.

What is this vine?
It's been suggested that it's a kind of morning glory, but it appears to be perennial, and the roots smell sweet when I pull them up.
Mostly, I'm trying to decide how hard I should be trying to eradicate it, or if it's worth keeping.
It looks like some type of bindweed (Calystegia sepium?). Does it have a white flower and are there rhizomes underground? If so GET RID OF IT!!!!!! I have some that came up in an azalea hedge several years ago and I'm still trying to get rid of them.
Hopefully Ron will see this and give you a definitive answer.
Hi - I thought you had snuck this picture from MY yard. I've got the same thing growing on my hydrangeas... and starting to sneak through much of my yard. I just bought a house that has sat empty for a year and I think that this vine took hold while it was empty. I'm not sure what it is either but it seems to have traveleed across the ground in long tendrils/roots. I keep pulling it out, it keeps growing back. Anyone with info on exactly what this is would be greatly appreciated. I"m in Nashville TN.
I agree that it is not Calystegia sepium.
The leaves do look like Ipomoea purpurea but something about the plant tells me that it is not I.purpurea.
Closeup views of the petiole stem junction area and the tip of the vine may help to shed some light on the ID...maybe a type of vining milkweed or a yam of some type...
I'd be interested in the plant if you choose to remove it...place roots in damp papertowel , then place in large ziplock bagge along with upper plant parts...send to me and I'll cover mailing and give you some MG seeds...
Hi Suzanne,
I think I found out what you have going on there and it is something in the Family Aristolochiaceae , most likely
Aristolochia californica commonly known as California Pipevine...this FAmily of plants also contains fragrant roots in the Asarum genus commonly known as gingers...
copy links and paste into browser
Hi Fran,
I did my best to identify the plant in the photos that seemed to be ( by the look of the leaves) a Morning Glory look-a-like...
I am aware that Aristolochia californica is listed in some databases as being hardy to zone 8a , although in some instances a more hardy strain could withstand a colder zone as a perennial or could be self-reseeding as an annual...
Should Suzanne decide to allow some of the plants to develop further and produce some flower buds , we could see for certain what the plant in question is...(!)
Perhaps those with more experience and knowledge of Aristolochia species would be in a better position to provide additional relevant details...
There are several plants called bindweed. Some make morning glory-type flowers, and some make barely noticeable clusters of tiny flowers that are white or the same color as the leaves. I think it's the 2nd type, possibly Polygonum convolvulus. I've battled it in OH, extremely hard to get rid of. Almost all of these weedy vines have leaves that morph their shape as the vine matures, making ID's tricky. Whatever it is, you don't want it growing in your Hydrangea.
purpleinopp: it's not the one you listed, as I think it would have flowered by now. However, yes, I've been removing it from everything it tries to climb. I have yet to see it flower, which makes it difficult to ID!
legumefinder: Visually very possible! It has never flowered, though. I did try to let it, and it just tried to take over the world instead.
Frustrating thing! I want to ID it! :)
If your goal is to get rid of it, knowing what it is will satisfy curiosity, but not necessary for decimation.
The instructions from Bry84, the 4th entry in this discussion can be used on any "bad boy" vine.
Hi Suzanne,
The native aristolochia vines are different than the tropical species like a. elegans and a. ringens which produce flowers as the vines grow. The a. tomentosa flowers from the lower leaf axils on vines from previous years growth, mainly in late spring and early summer.
It can take over very easily, I've seen it growing very high up into trees right there with kudzu.

The depressing thing about listening to vintage vinyl from places such as pre-Khmer Rouge Cambodia, the Congo, Ethiopia, Burundi, the former Yugoslavia, etc. etc. etc. is that it forces one to confront the question: what became of these people? How did they survive? Did they survive, or did what made their music so incredible lead, inevitably, to their annihilation?

We don't know much about the new judge on American Idol Kara DioGuardi, except for the fact that's it's caused tension between Paula Abdul and pretty much every one on the show.
It may all be hearsay, but we'll find out tonight as season 8 premieres!
What we do know is that Kara just got engaged over the weekend. She and her boyfriend Mike McCuddy were vacationing in Mexico when he decided to pop the question.
But the two have no date in mind as of now for their big day. A rep for Kara told People, "No wedding date has been planned."
Well that's a good thing, seeing as though she's got a long season ahead of her! American Idol season 8 kicks off tonight on Fox, great way to promote the show!

A blue heron moment
With wildlife, we have moments that will never be repeated.
This a.m. I opened the curtains on our bedroom wide so the sister calico cats could enjoy their afternoon sunbeams.
Coming right at me, the blue heron. What a windspan, what grace of movement. The morning trip up river to some shoals where fishing is good.
I've always watched a blue heron since we bought the farm. Usually I'd see him or her in the late afternoon, flying very high on his flight path from up the Holston River, flying over our place to where ever he nested farther down the Holston. One year there were two on the afternoon flight path and then a younger third.
But this is the lowest I've ever seen one fly. Now I will have to watch for the afternoon return, just to see if he's changed to a lower flight plan.
Behind our house, our neighbor has a nice fishing pond. I always enjoy watching that very large heron coming in for a landing about 5:30-6:00am every morning. It is such a handsome looking bird and VERY large.
Also the turkey vultures have been swarming more often lately. It is also fun watching them perform their figure 8's in the sky.
I love this time of year.
Beautiful. We have one on our land down the street who flies by here sometimes.
At where I used to work, we had one at the manmade pond! You could stand 6 feet away from him and see every movement. I never thought a heron would be up for that, but he came nearly every day. I always ate my lunch out with him and the geese.
I just have to chime in. Yesterday morning as I turned onto the street of where I work Orange County, CA right in front of me was a big turkey vulture dragging a dead possum to the curb. There is not much left of that possum today.
We also enjoy the occasional blue herons and the numerous snowy egrets down at the creek near our house. We also see kites and kingfishers. Ah, life is good.
Since we just built a koi pond, Heron are now The Enemy. But I still like them, just not in my neighborhood. I saw a red shafted Northern Flicker on Sunday. I've never seen one of those before. Their favorite food is ants, which I have plenty of.

"The Pious Revisionists' Quest for Dominionism."
Yes, but only if they are unable to read in print.
Thomas Jefferson: Often touted by the political right as an authority with respect to the evils of Big Government and routinely ignored by the same for his heretical writings and warnings on the commingling of religion and (American) government.
Is Knighton Bliss a person or machine? Without solid evidence of the former it'd be easy, based on his reading of this book, to conclude the latter. Bliss's mechanical text-to-speech reading is often difficult to follow without multiple replays or, even worse, references to the print version. The 'reading' of this title would have been a far more meaningful (and comprehensible) experience if from Mr. Dershowitz's mouth.
Further impetus to maintain a check on the religious-right's unwavering attempt(s) to undermine the wall of separation.

European Job Days 2011
Following on from a successful calendar of European Job Days in 2010, the 2011 Job Days were held all over Europe. The events, organised by EURES, aim to bring together jobseekers and employers in a productive setting.
European Job Days are typically attended by a host of employers, jobseekers and recruitment professionals, and numerous private and public organisations active in the field of labour mobility. Jobseekers can talk directly with employers (sometimes even attending interviews) as well as benefit from the wealth of expertise and information on offer.
The European Job Days - Brussels, Belgium, on 1 October attracted more than 10 000 candidates from 38 different countries and boasted innovative dedicated areas such as the "EURES Village" where EURES Advisers from more than 20 countries were on hand to chat with and assist visitors. The European Job Day also featured an area entitled "Create your own job", which assembled resources and actors in the field of young entrepreneurship to help and encourage young European citizens to start their own firms.
This year's European Job Day in Tallinn, Estonia on 14 October saw ten different employers from sectors as diverse as leisure and tourism, construction, information technology, and the medical sphere come together in search of enthusiastic and talented jobseekers. Disneyland Paris was just one of the high-profile employers in attendance, not to mention Kuopio University Hospital in Finland and L'Osteria from Germany. The Swedish company, Curly Trading AB, and Kuopio University Hospital were two particularly pleased employers who have already engaged candidates interviewed at the event. As well as presentations by EURES Advisers on living and working in their particular countries, there were officials representing tax offices and social service systems in various Member States available to provide practical advice.

Reflections on the Reception of Unconventional Claims in Science
As a sociologist of science I remain outside of the controversies surrounding unconventional claims in science. My commitment is to the judicial process within the scientific community rather than the resolution of specific debates. My general concern is to try to foster an interdisciplinary program, best called anomalistics, on the study of facts that seem unexplained by our current models. In order to study anomalies in science we have to be interdisciplinary because we don't know ultimately where an anomaly will fit.

SF cop honored for saving suicide jumper
CHP Sgt. Kevin Briggs is being awarded by the man he saved from the edge of the Golden Gate bridge 8 years ago
By Lisa Leff
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — A California man who was talked out of jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge eight years ago is being reunited with the California Highway Patrol officer he credits with saving his life.
Kevin Berthia is scheduled to present a public service award Wednesday night to CHP Sgt. Kevin Briggs. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is recognizing Briggs at its annual dinner in New York.
The last time the two men saw each other was on March 11, 2008. Berthia, then 22, went to the bridge planning to kill himself. He changed his mind after Briggs spent over an hour gently coaxing him off a ledge.
Last year, there were 33 confirmed and three unconfirmed suicides. Bridge officials recorded 86 successful interventions by CHP and bridge security officers.
