Uniform Knit Waist Skinny Pants 3 4
Good purchase Very nice i just ordered some and they fit my daughter. Perfect, great for school no logos and it's made out of cotton so it's soft. August 9, 2013
Not Skinny My daughter has all types of skinny pants and we were excited to order these.......not skinny at all.....more like boot cut...however she did like the way they felt and they looked good on.....so we may just keep them August 30, 2012
Great pants but run long My girls really like these uniform pants because they are easy to get on and off. These pants also allow my girls to wear boots over them in the winter. The pants are a nice fit - skinny but not too tight. Note: They run long. The size 14 fit my 13 year old who is 5'4" great; however, I have an average height 6 year old and they were long. I also bought my 6 year old the normal waist skinny pant (in the same size) and the length on those pants are about 2 inches shorter than these pants. Since my 6 year old is on the average/short side, the normal waist skinny pants were a better fit. Overall, a very cute uniform pant August 26, 2012

Everett host family has success helping turn AquaSox into M's

Kevin Clark / The Herald
Kristine Scoville places flatware in preparation of the late dinner for Cruz Pereira (left) and Jeffeson Medina on Wednesday night.
Tim and Kristine Scoville's home, to be exact.
The Scovilles, who are in their seventh season as a host family for the Everett AquaSox minor-league baseball team, have housed three players who have gone on to pitch in the Seattle Mariners' bullpen. In 2010, the Scovilles hosted Stephen Pryor and Tom Wilhelmsen in their south Everett home. Two seasons later, they welcomed Dominic Leone.
Leone added to the legend of the Scoville house when he made his major-league debut with the Mariners on April 6.
"We mention it when a player comes and stays out our house. We tell them who stayed here," Kristine Scoville said. "I know other host families have joked with players, pitchers especially, 'That's the house to be at if you want to make it.' But it's pretty exciting. We're just really happy for all the guys."
Kristine and Tim, both 55, have housed numerous relief pitchers over the years. Tim Scoville pitched in high school and likes to talk baseball with the young pros.
"It's been kind of fun hosting pitchers," he said. "I feel like I have something a little more in common with them. ... It's a process of reliving your youth through other kids, and to see them do well is really cool. But we've had good experiences with the ones who were let go, and didn't go much farther than here, too."
Phil Hann was the Scovilles' first player in 2008. They have hosted 12 more since, including Daniel Cooper, Ricardo Pereira and Ben Versnik.
This season, the Scovilles have Jeffeson Medina — the first starting pitcher to live with them — and reliever Cruz Pereira. The two are aware of the history of the house.
"It's very cool because those three guys played hard (and got to the majors)," Medina said. "I see that I can go to the big-league team, too."
As a host family, the Scovilles provide the players with food, a bed and support throughout the season. And their efforts are not forgotten when their former tenants hit the big time.
"They're tremendous, great people," Wilhelmsen said. "Very nice, very caring."
Said Leone: "They were like surrogate parents. They're really caring. They make sure you had everything you needed. They were really, really on top of everything."
It didn't take long after Leone found his housing assignment to learn of the reputation of the Scoville house.
"When I first got into Everett, they told me my housing arrangement," Leone said. "They told me I was going to the Scovilles' house and said they had Wilhelmsen and Pryor. I was like, 'All right, this might be some good luck for me'?"
The Scovilles have nothing but fond memories of their former guests. Tim said Pryor was "pretty quiet, very determined and very driven." Pryor allowed just one earned run and struck out 26 batters in 18 innings before being promoted to Clinton of the Class A Midwest League.
When it came to Wilhelmsen, who pitched in three games for the AquaSox over a span of about two weeks, Kristine exclaims, "Tom was very personable!"
Both Pryor and Wilhelmson were promoted before the 2010 Northwest League playoffs, which Everett won.
Like Tim Scoville, Leone was from Connecticut, which helped them form a quick bond. Leone went 3-0 for Everett with five saves and 39 strikeouts in 33 innings, helping the Sox clinch the first-half title in 2012 and finish 46-30.
"Dominic was fun. He was just a really nice guy," Tim said. "I liked the way he was so well spoken. He did really well here — just like Tom and Stephen — and it's good to see him with the Mariners. It's been really enjoyable having all of them."
Other host families, while marveling at the Scovilles' luck, say the players couldn't get a better house to live in.
"They're awesome people," said Kristi Simmons, of Lake Stevens, who along with her husband, Chad, is also in her seventh season hosting AquaSox players. "They've had some great guys go through their house. They're just great people.
"I don't know. Maybe she feeds them something special."
The Scovilles try to keep in touch with as many of their former players as they can, whether it's a text message, a phone call or, in the case of Wilhelmsen and Leone, a visit to Safeco Field.
"It's been fun to keep in touch. Kristine follows them wherever they go," said Tim, who is an engineer at Boeing. "She knows how everybody's doing, wherever they are."
One of Kristine's favorite moments occurred last year when Pryor returned to Everett for a rehab assignment and talked to Ricardo Pereira, who lived with the Scovilles.
"It was great last year when Stephen did his rehab assignment," Kristine said. "He called Pereira his 'brother' because he was staying in the same house he did."
The Scovilles' house features plenty of baseball memorabilia. They have the players they host sign a ball before the end of their time in Everett and have purchased several items at the Mariners Team Store relating to their former players. Tim and Kristine have a game-used ball Leone used to strike a batter out on three straight pitches, as well as Pryor's name placard from his locker at Safeco Field.
Pryor, who hadn't pitched in Seattle since early in 2013 because of injuries, was called up for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins and returned to Class AAA Tacoma immediately after the contest.
"It is pretty neat," Kristine said. "It's kind of fun to think of them all being there together right now. ... That's the reason you want to do this. You hope that the guys make it all the way. That's their dream and you want to help them with their dream."
Despite their impressive resume of players, Tim and Kristine don't plan on having a streak like David and Kathy Hope of Edmonds, who have 20 years of host-family experience for the AquaSox. The Scovilles plan to move to Arizona after Tim retires from Boeing in the coming years.
However, they don't plan to retire from baseball.
"I think we'll do it as long as we live here," Kristine said. "(Maybe) another five or seven years. Our plan is to retire to Arizona, but even once we get to Arizona, we hope to get to know the players down there and still be involved in minor-league baseball."

The Register-Herald is today launching a new look designed to make the newspaper easier to read, more dependable in its layout, and more effective for our advertisers.
It's true that we live in a digital age, and more people than ever are turning to digital platforms to get the news and information they want. The Register-Herald is committed to being at the forefront of every delivery platform available. In fact, this week we are also unveiling a redesigned website.
But while we may be in the middle of a digital revolution, we recognize that our print products remain extremely important, both to thousands of readers and to our loyal advertisers who continue to find print advertising their most effective medium in local markets.
Over the past several months, we have listened closely as readers and advertisers have shared helpful comments, suggestions, and, yes, criticisms. The new look of our newspaper is in large part the result of the advice and requests we have received from our most qualified judges – the consumers who use our product as their leading source of information about our local community.
Among the changes you will notice beginning today:
· Bigger type size and better line spacing to allow readers to more easily read every story.
· A more standardized headline style to make the presentation of news and information less confusing and easier to find and follow.
· Bigger photographs to take better advantage of the fact that a picture really is worth a thousand words, especially when it comes to the activities of local newsmakers and organizations.
· More consistency in our page-by-page presentation, so readers will always know where they can find obituaries, the weather report, opinion and commentary, and other features that are important parts of every edition.
· Better ad placement, especially with our clutter-free front page advertising packages.
As always, we understand that the most important service we provide is our emphasis on local news, sports, opinion and features. Recording and sharing the events, achievements, triumphs and sometimes tragedies of our neighbors and our community has been our historic mission since 1820, and that will always be our focus. And it's easier than ever to interact with our editors and reporters, since every story includes email, phone and Twitter handles.
We hope you enjoy the changes. Please continue to share your ideas and suggestions, and as always, thank you for reading The Register-Herald.

MEBANE — Terri Rogers was unstoppable for the Eastern Alamance girls' basketball team, scoring 31 points to lead the Eagles to a 56-33 victory against visiting Williams High School on Tuesday night.
Rogers, a senior, put together a career-high in points for the second time in about two weeks. She scored 29 points against Eastern Guilford on Jan. 23.
"Terri has been our workhorse all year anyway," Eastern Alamance coach Tim Krotish said. "Something has clicked in her, really since … the Christmas tournament. Her confidence soared. … Now she's demanding the ball and the kids know that's where the ball needs to go when she's open."
Krotish also remarked at how the four-year varsity player has developed during each season.
The Eagles (16-5 overall, 9-2 Mid-State 3-A Conference) led 30-28 at halftime, but jumped ahead by outscoring Williams (12-9, 6-5) by 10-0 in the third quarter.
The Bulldogs were led by Cassidy Jordan's 16 points. Williams managed five points in the second half after holding what was once a nine-point lead during the first half.
"They're so much bigger than we are," Williams coach Tommy Cole said. "It's discouraging. That beats on you, pounds on you."
-- NORTHERN GUILFORD 68, WESTERN ALAMANCE 27: At Elon, Amanda Coffer pumped in a game-high 18 points to help lead visiting Northern Guilford to a Mid-State 3-A Conference victory. Sydney Wilson added 14 points, Gabby Boyd had 12 points, and Aliya Gringe scored 10 points for the Nighthawks (19-1, 10-0).
Kierra James and Alexis Dickerson had eight points apiece for the Warriors (4-17, 2-9). James grabbed 11 rebounds and recorded seven steals, while Dickerson grabbed nine rebounds.
-- JORDAN-MATTHEWS 59, GRAHAM 47: At Siler City, Mylia Garner scored a game-high 27 points to lead the Jets in a Mid-State 2-A Conference game. Taylor Paige added 16 points for Jordan-Matthews, which gave Graham its first conference loss of the season.
Brie Snipes led the Red Devils (14-8, 9-1) with 15 points. Jasmine Atkins added 13 points, and Kay Kay Wilson scored 12 points.
-- CUMMINGS 55, BARTLETT YANCEY 15: Ariyah Stone scored 11 points and Sikeya Timons added 10 points as Cummings High School earned a Mid-State 2-A Conference victory. The Cavaliers (8-12, 3-5) jumped on the Buccaneers early, leading 16-2 after the first quarter. Cummings knocked down six 3-pointers in the game.
-- SOUTHERN ALAMANCE 64, WESTERN GUILFORD 46: At Mt. Hermon, Hollie Boggs tallied 21 points to lead the Patriots to a Metro Conference victory. April Kelly added 12 points, and Megan allen had 10 points for the Patriots (16-3, 6-2).
Avana Davis led the Hornets with 11 points. Selena Lozada and Deja Everett scored 10 points apiece.
-- CAROLINA HOME SCHOOL 71, BURLINGTON CHRISTIAN ACADEMY 51: Leah Church led visiting Carolina Home School of High Point with a game-high 22 points. Koral Held added 16 points, and Aleksandieja Kuilts scored 11 points for Carolina Home School (26-5).
Haley Stokes led BCA (4-13) with 15 points, six assists, and four steals. Alanie Welch and Kristin Fuller added 14 points apiece for the Royals. Welch also recorded six assists.
-- WILSON CHRISTIAN 36, ACS 13: At Graham, undefeated Wilson Christian (21-0) allowed only four first-half points in the road victory. Lindsey Barker's seven points and 10 rebounds led Alamance Christian School (7-7).

Agencies exploring the right balance between open data, security
Friday - 9/27/2013, 5:39am EDT
The Department of Health and Human Services is turning to big data to improve the security of their computer networks.
At the same time, HHS is striving to make more data accessible to the public and across all the agency bureaus.
Kevin Charest, the chief information security officer at HHS, said balancing these two mandates requires the ability to explain to the program managers why data security is important beyond the typical "because it is" response.
"Typically security folks tend to talk about it from a confidentiality aspect, protection and that sort of thing, and unfortunately that tends not to resonate with actual end users, whether they be producers of data or consumers of data," Charest said after his spoke on a panel discussion Thursday at the AFFIRM/GITEC Colossal Data conference in Washington. "They are really more interested in the integrity, from a research standpoint, and the availability, I want what I want when I want it type of thing. Particularly as it relates to HHS, we have a tremendous amount of research data, and very often scientists have a tendency to see security as a nuisance and getting in the way of science. But the reality is what we found is by going to them and having perfectly open and honest conversations about what would happen if the integrity of your research was to be comprised. You begin to relate it to their world view, and all of a sudden security becomes less of an evil and more of a necessity."
He said if you relate the security to the needs of the individual, it's much easier sell.
Like most agencies, HHS creates and holds a lot of data, especially the sensitive kind, whether its personnel or health information, and there is more pressure to share data among bureaus.
Charest said as the data sets get bigger and bigger, the normal type of processing just doesn't work.
APIs to Commerce data
Additionally, the Office of Management and Budget's mandate to make information more accessible through Data.gov in a machine-readable format is adding another layer of complexity for agencies. President Barack Obama issued an executive order and OMB followed with implementation guidance in May.
The Commerce Department is trying to comply with that mandate by developing application programming interfaces (APIs) that will make data accessibility easier.
Simon Syzkman, Commerce's chief information officer, said at the event that the department has made more than 100,000 data sets available through Data.gov. OMB plans to revamp the website later this year, and already has included a list of APIs available to users.
He said Commerce needs to improve the governance of data by building it in early on from a lifecycle perspective.
In addition to individual data sets from all the agencies, the administration is funding research and development on how to better harness big data.
Fen Zhao, a staff associate in the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering at the National Science Foundation, said her agency and the Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a request for information earlier this year to see how multi-stakeholder partnerships could come together to solve big data problems.
Zhao said NSF and OSTP will announce a new round of research and development projects this fall.
Mash-ups offering benefits
While the administration focused on R&D of big data, several agencies are mashing- up data to improve how they meet their mission.
The Agriculture Department is combining data on wildfires with information about crops to better understand the path of the fire. Then the Forest Service can redirect the blaze away from the corn or soybeans or other farm land.
Charles McClam, the USDA deputy CIO, said the agency is developing a big data strategy to decide which systems would benefit the most from analytics technology and mashing data together.
He said the strategy could be completed in the next 3-to-6 months.
HHS's Charest said the agency is trying to break the data silos that currently exist.
He said there is great value in bringing together information from, for example, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health.
"We recognize the value of unlocking the data and bringing it together. So, what we have to do is not just take the underlying siloed security, but overlay a level of security for the interoperability and collaborative nature of the infrastructure," he said. "So we are designing it now. We are looking at those pieces and deciding what goes into that mash-up and what doesn't make sense, recognizing it will be an evolutionary and iterative process, but security is being designed up front before we do any data collaboration."

National team competitions
25-20, 14-20, 31-21, 15-11
Kyle Weems has knocked down a season-high 34 points, leading hosts Telekom Baskets to an 85-72 victory over EuroChallenge Group L rivals Okapi Aalstar.
Going at 14-for-17 from the floor, Weems turned a potentially sticky situation at the half into one-way traffic in the third quarter, scoring 17 points in the frame to earn himself a break for the final phases of the game.
With both teams coming into the confrontation carrying 1-2 records, the winner was guaranteed to go second in Group L behind undefeated EWE Baskets Oldenburg.
Playing without multiple key players, a number of Aalst players were stepping out of the shadows to keep the visitors in the game in the first half, none more so than former Belgian age-grade player Arne Steinbach who had already amassed a season-best 13 points and six assists by halftime.
However the up-and-coming playmaker was isolated in the second half and could not add further to his tally.
With Ioana Tofi providing the supporting role for Steinbach, the understrength Belgians took a surprise 41-40 lead into the halftime break.
Tofi went on to top scoring for Aalst with 18 points.
However, the dynamics of the game changed in the second half, as Telekom Baskets, led by Weems, played with renewed vigour in the third stanza, developing a healthy nine-point lead by the start of the final frame.
Okapi's wings had been clipped and they showed no signs of coming back in the last 10 minutes as Telekom Baskets cruised to a comfortable victory.
Providing the key support for Weems was fellow American Robert Vaden, who ended the night with 15 points and six assists.
Bonn head coach Michael Koch:"We struggled finding a rhythm on offense in the first half, but did a good job against Aalst's zone defense. Now we have to focus for the last two games to take hold of our chances to advance to the quarter-finals."
Bonn player Robert Vaden:"Aalst came in here shorthanded and showcased great fighting spirit. In the second half we had defensive stops when we needed them in order to create a commanding lead."
Aalst head coach Bradley Dean:"With this win Bonn is in the driver's seat to eventually making it to the next round. From my time with Ulm I know the German league very well and I must say that the Bonn crowd is one of the best I've seen."
Aalst player Ioana Tofi:"Bonn caught us in transition a lot. They came out aggressive after intermission and were able to extend the lead. We fought and tried to come back, but due to the amount of injuries we are shorthanded these days and could not compensate our missing starters."

My first practice with acryl paint, I never really did do any traditional painting and thought lets give it a go.
So i went out and bought myself 2 starterkits(atleast i think it are) 1 acryl and 1 oilpaint. I figure it wont be the best quality paint that i'm using since it was like 7 euro a kit which has 12 tubes of paint and 2 brushes.
So i started with the acryl since i read its the best one to start out with and i tried to paint something to see how the paint reacts.
anyway here it is, aint much but it's a start i guess :s
August 16th, 2008 #135
Good update - your work is getting better, I know these are quick but I think you should work on the mushy paint problem and clear lines, they will read better. I like this last girl she is starting to rock, her eyes are crooked - I like the eyes you did in some of the sketches, they are pop-eyes! cool style you are starting to form.

Hi ravenslayer, really nice quantity of work you got here. I love post #140 very much . (edit: one little crit maybe; his eyes look a little bit to "glassy". The highlights are very strong) The pastels are very well done too. How much time did you spend on these if I may ask?

Parson Russell Terrier
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
Parson Russell Terriers weigh around 6-8 kg (14-18 lbs)
Approximately 30-35cm (12-14 inches).
Mostly white in combination with several other colors including reddish brown, black, tan, and brown.
Their coat can be described as broken with a section of rough and smooth. They have long body hair and a smooth head.
Without proper training, these can be aggressive, high-strung dogs. They are perky, loyal, and fearless. They can be stubborn but their aggression is usually focused at other dogs. They are very keen explorers and enjoy chasing bugs and small vermin as they have a very strong hunting instinct. They also tend to bark a lot and enjoy digging.
Country of Origin:
The United Kingdom
Parson Russell Terriers are descended from white-bodied fox hunters.
Originally called the Jack Russell Terrier, their name was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier in 2003 at the request of the Jack Russell Terrier Association of America.
Parson Russell Terriers thrive in an environment that is well-structured with a daily routine. They do enjoy independence though, and constraint can cause them a fair amount of stress. They do not adjust well to being left home alone so leaving them with a playmate helps to reduce problem behaviour. In the absence of a pet or human companion, it is beneficial to leave the radio or TV going when you're away. Though they are a social breed, they do suffer from some anxiety problems like refusing to eat or drink and barking excessively. Though they have some tendency toward aggression, they are not actively mean and usually behave in an aggressive manner only when they are under stress.
Early training is important to ensure that they are well adjusted socially. Interaction with other humans and pets will help them be more comfortable and less stressed when they are approached by unfamiliar animals.
They are energetic dogs but also highly adaptable and will exercise themselves in a small yard. However, they thrive when they have a large yard to run around, explore, and hunt.
Parson Russell Terriers make excellent pets given they are treated well and undergo some basic training. Because they are small and sometimes prone to aggression, they do not make the best pets for families with small children. Generally, if they've received some solid training, they will be gentle towards children but should be supervised.

Over the past year musicians in Nederland have noticed a slight ease of stress. I couldn't count how many times I've seen a guy or gal hustling all over the bar asking everybody they can think of if they have any extra strings, a drum key, a mic cable, a saxophone reed, or any number of other little musical necessities that tend to creep up at a gig. That ease came with the opening of Brightwood Music

The IRS receives thousands of reports each year from taxpayers who receive suspicious emails, phone calls, faxes or notices claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service. Many of these scams fraudulently use the Internal Revenue Service name or logo as a lure to make the communication more authentic and enticing. The goal of these scams – known as phishing – is to trick you into revealing personal and financial information. The scammers can then use that information – like your Social Security number, bank account or credit card numbers – to commit identity theft or steal your money.

Excellent product. This is the second time I have bought an iStyles skin. The last one for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 was so good and came off easily when I sold it! Now I have a new one for my Surface Pro 2 because the original matte black surface was boring and easily scratched.Pamela Frood, United Kingdom

Swansboro's De'Andre Thompkins knew this win was big.
The Penn State-bound senior standout realized that the Pirates' 20-6 victory at White Oak on Friday night not only gave Swansboro its first Coastal 3-A Conference win but also gave his team some confidence entering next week's game at Havelock.
"This was not a pretty game. Both teams could have done a lot better and it could have been a different game," Thompkins said. "But we are 5-2 going into Havelock and with a win on our shoulders, and this win seals up (playoff) eligibility.
"We have a lot of things to learn, but we know we can play with any team and being able to go into Havelock with a win on our shoulders is big."
This marked the first football meeting between Swansboro and White Oak since the Vikings defeated the Pirates 26-7 in 2008.
The Pirates (5-2, 1-1) got a road win to secure their first league victory in their first season in the Coastal Conference following statewide realignment. Next up: at two-time defending state 3-A champion Havelock, which beat Jacksonville 42-0 on Friday.
White Oak (3-3, 0-1) visits West Craven next week.
"This win is huge because we are going into Havelock next week," Swansboro coach Tim Laspada said. "We are going to go in there and give them our best shot."
Until then, however, the Pirates can enjoy their win over the Vikings in what was a mistake-filled game.
Swansboro had two turnovers and failed to score on two trips inside White Oak's 10-yard line. Meanwhile, the Vikings had seven turnovers, including five lost fumbles.
"My goodness we made a lot of mistakes," Laspada said. "But we played with heart. I challenged them at halftime and I'm pretty sure the whole stadium could hear me. I wanted to make sure I got my point across and I did because our kids came out and played a lot better in the second half."
Not only did White Oak turn the ball over a lot, two of those giveaways in Swansboro territory resulted in touchdowns for the Pirates.
In the first quarter, Swansboro senior Chris Phipps stripped a ball carrier at the Pirates' 42. Swansboro capitalized on the turnover when Phipps threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to sophomore Markuise Hemby to give the Pirates a 7-0 lead.
In the second quarter with the Vikings trailing 7-6, Swansboro senior linebacker R.L. Carpenter intercepted a pass at the Pirates 28. Moments later, Thompkins darted 61 yards for a touchdown to make it 13-6.
White Oak's score came when senior Kendall White returned a first-quarter punt 50 yards for a touchdown to cut the Vikings' deficit to 7-6.
"We had a lack of focus, a lack of desire and a lack of us doing a good enough job of coaching," White Oak coach Chad Ashley said. "It was a complete lack of everything football related. So I take responsibility for it because it's my job to fix that.
"We had two weeks of practice to try to take care of it and obviously we didn't do a good enough job of coaching these guys up."
Senior Camara Rawls led White Oak with 113 yards rushing on 18 carries. The Vikings had four turnovers in Swansboro territory, including a fumble on a bad pitch on first down that was recovered by the Pirates at the 11.
"They (turnovers) give us so much confidence," Carpenter said. "When you come off the field, it puts the other team down."
Swansboro led the entire game but had a couple of chances to extend its lead in the second quarter. However, the Pirates had a field goal blocked and was stopped on fourth-and-goal from the 1.
"You can't leave points off the board against good teams," Laspada said.
With Swansboro leading 13-6, Thompkins essentially sealed the victory with a 6-yard touchdown run with 10:06 left in the game. The score came after the Pirates forced a punt.
"That's what I said before the game: It's going to be the team that does the little things and who doesn't bite yourself in the foot," Laspada said. "We did (make mistakes), but we are fortunate they put the ball on the ground a little bit and that we took advantage of it."
The play of the game for Swansboro was Thompkins' 61-yard scoring run. The Pirates led just 7-6, and three plays after Carpenter's interception, Thompkins took a handoff, ran through the middle and then went toward the right before heading to the end zone.
"When you have some players as good as a few of their players, they will have success and make some gains," Ashley said. "Unfortunately, Thompkins had a big play, which he's done every game and which is why he's going to Happy Valley."
Thompkins, who finished with 98 yards rushing, was looking to spark his team.
"Before the play was called I went to my line and told them 'Hey guys, we have to buckle down,'" Thompkins said. "They all looked at me and said 'All right, let's go.' When the play was called, I knew my guys were going to block once I got the ball. I just took the ball and did what I had to do."
And the Pirates ultimately did what they had to do to win.
"This win gives is a lot of momentum," Carpenter said. "I think we can come out and show Havelock something."

Beginning in the mid-1950s, most new helicopter designs utilized gas-turbine engines in place of reciprocating (piston) models. When Frank Robinson introduced the R44 in 1992, he altered this trend in the light-utility class by utilizing a low-cost reciprocating powerplant combined with a simple teetering rotor system to significantly lower acquisition and operating costs without substantial reductions in performance.
G-MURY has flown around the world twice with Jennifer Murray at the controls. From May 10 to August 8, 1997, with her instructor, Quentin Smith, she became the first person to pilot a piston-powered helicopter around the world and the first woman to fly a helicopter around the world. Between May 31 and September 6, 2000, Murray made her second around-the-world flight, becoming the first woman to do so solo in a helicopter.

Thomas Cole didn't say much during class at Grainger High School. If it were up to him, he'd prefer the teacher not know he was there.
But on the baseball diamond — and football field and basketball court — Cole made some noise.
The usually-reserved Cole, a three-sport star for the Red Devils who went on to play baseball at Wake Forest, will officially be inducted into the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the new Woodmen Community Center at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 20.
"I've always been rather shy, I guess, and reserved," Cole said. "I can remember all through grade school and high school, and even in college, I was scared to death the teacher was going to call on me in class. And if they did my voice probably shook.
"I don't know why, but I was fearful. I've always been this way."
Cole may have gotten nervous when called upon by a teacher, but when he was in the starting lineup things were the way they should be.
"(On the field) I was at home, I was comfortable," he said. "Even with 4,000-5,000 fans, I was perfectly at ease."
A 1951 Grainger graduate, Cole was a star split end and kicker for its football team and selected to play in the Optimist Bowl in 1950. He helped lead the Red Devils to their first NCHSAA Class A state championship in basketball in 1950 and right back to the title game the following year.
But on the diamond is where Cole felt the most comfort.
"He could really kick a football. He could punt it 50, 60 yards," Grainger graduate and 2004 KLCSHOF inductee George Whitfield said, "but his best sport was baseball."
Added Cole in jest: "I played football, basketball and baseball, and I guess you might say I majored in baseball."
He helped Grainger earn back-to-back state baseball championships in 1949 and 1950 as an infielder, and was selected to play in the Carolinas All-Star game his senior year.
He took his baseball prowess to Wake Forest, where he battled injuries and illness his first two seasons. Knee surgery hampered him as a freshman, he said, and as a sophomore a case of the mumps a week into winter workouts caused him to miss some time.
As a junior he really came on, however, earning the right as co-captain of the Demon Deacons. After a move from the infield to right field, Cole was named a captain in 1955 — the year Wake Forest won the College World Series.
Cole, now 79, has three prep state titles and a national baseball championship — the only athletics national title in Wake Forest history — on his resume.
"Let's just say I was lucky in picking winning teams," Cole said with a laugh.
Known as a good hitter, Cole finished his senior season at Wake Forest tied for the ACC lead with seven home runs, he said.
"I guess I was lucky as far as being at the plate. I could hit a little bit … so coach put me out in right field," Cole said. "I don't know, I guess I was just lucky in college catching the right pitch at the right time."
Following college, Cole signed with the Philadelphia Phillies and played one year of minor league baseball. He has just been offered a job with Wachovia Bank when the Phillies sent word of an invitation to spring training in 1956.
Cole had recently been married and the couple was expecting their first of three children, all girls.
He chose the life after baseball, banking a finance, from which he retired.
"It was the hardest decision I had to make in my life," Cole said. "I said, 'Well, I've played baseball well enough to get a job with the bank.'"
Cole credits his mother, who raised him and his three sisters alone after his father passed away when he was 9, for his success. He also credits his high school coaches Frank L. Mock and Amos Sexton.
"I can't count the numerous sacrifices she made to give us a better way of life. If I've done anything in life to have success I'd give her credit for it," Cole said of his mother.
"Frank Mock and Amos Sexton were real role models for me and father figures. They taught you not only how to play the game but they taught you a lot of life lessons. They taught you how to be a better person."
They couldn't help him overcome his fear of being called on in class, but they helped him feel at home on the field.
"I wasn't bashful or shy out on the field or on the court. I don't know why. I was just very comfortable out there," Cole said.
"I felt like that's where I belonged."

Car insurance comparison: How it works
You may be leaving hundreds, even thousands, of dollars on the table if you don't regularly compare insurance companies and rates. Many factors affect your car insurance rates, and if any of them have changed – you've moved, bought a different car, had a ticket – it's possible that the cheapest policy will come from a different insurer.
The younger you are, the more likely you are to save by making a car insurance comparison. On a full-coverage policy, a driver under age 25 saves more than $1,100 a year on average by shopping around, according to a CarInsurance.com study.
You can phone several insurance agents, or you can go to each insurer's website to seek a car insurance quote. Or you can turn to one of several online quote comparison sites, like CarInsurance.com, where you can get apples-to-apples quotes delivered online in a few minutes.
Whether you're buying online with us, directly from an insurance carrier, or on the phone dealing with an agent, these are the steps:
Top Quote Comparison QuestionsMore Questions
Grab your current auto policy.
Your deductible and liability limits greatly affect your rates, and you can't make an accurate price comparison unless you get a quote for identical coverage, which is easier to do if you have your current policy on hand to refer to. Also, you may be asked who your current insurer is and the ending date of your current policy.
If you simply want to find the cheapest policy possible when comparison shopping, you would look for liability coverage only, and in the smallest amount your state will accept. (Legally required minimum liability coverage amounts vary from state to state.) Bear in mind that some states require so little coverage that an accident might leave any other assets you have, such as a home or savings, vulnerable to lawsuits.
If you've moved or are a new driver, you can get an idea of what people in your area are paying by visiting CarInsurance.com's "Nosy Neighbor" tool and comparing rates by ZIP code.
Gather your facts.
Insurers will verify your personal data if you decide to buy a policy, but getting an accurate comparison-shopping quote means you should be as complete and thorough as possible. Omitting an accident or ticket as you shop doesn't mean the insurer won't find out, and it will make your quote much less reliable.
Here's what they'll ask about:
- The dates and circumstances of any accidents or speeding tickets in the last five years. Narrow it down to the correct year; the age of an accident or citation matters.
- You should have a general idea of your credit score and the number of miles you drive in a year.
- You'll also need to answer questions about your education, your job, your home and your marital status. Each of these is considered a risk factor and affects how much you pay.
If you are ready to buy you'll need:
- The driver's license numbers for you and all other drivers listed on the policy.
- The vehicle identification number (VIN) for all cars you want to insure.
Decide what coverage features you're willing to change.
Once you've input your information and seen your comparison-shopping quotes, you can either buy a policy or experiment with changes that can improve your protection or save you more money. You can change the information used to calculate your quote by clicking on each of the tabs, seeing how your rate would change if you:
- add or drop a driver
- change jobs or schools and now drive fewer miles
- raise or lower your liability limits
- add or drop towing and labor or rental reimbursement coverage
- raise your deductibles on your comprehensive and collision coverages
- drop full coverage altogether
Before you sign, think.
When you're ready to buy, conduct some due diligence on the insurer who's offered you the lowest rate. Often more than 100 insurers do business in a state, but it's likely you've heard of only a handful. That doesn't mean you shouldn't buy, but it does mean you should confirm the company's financial strength.
The stronger the insurance company, the more likely it is to be around to pay your claim in a timely manner and deal with any customer service issues that might arise.
Lastly, look for any pitfalls in the company's payment plans. Some add large fees for monthly payments, or for those who choose not to allow direct withdrawal from a checking account.

I-522: Clarity for consumers, or just a costly burden?

Mark Mulligan / The Herald
The milking parlor at Werkhoven Dairy near Monroe has been operating for over 40 years.
They are farmers who embrace stewardship of their land as a way of life to be sustained for future generations of their families.
Yet these two men hold completely different views on the merits of a food-labeling initiative that's become this year's biggest ballot brawl.
Klesick, owner of the all-organic Klesick Family Farms in Stanwood, is a hearty supporter of Initiative 522 as a means of giving Washingtonians information on what's in the food they eat.
Klesick's customers won't see labels on his food because he doesn't grow or sell genetically modified products that would have to be labeled under the initiative. But they will see labels on many products in their local grocery stores, which may help them make decisions about what they buy.
"The only thing you have control over is what you put in your mouth," Klesick said. "To me it's not an issue of whether it will cost me more money. It's about being truthful. I think the consumer has the right to know what's going on."
Werkhoven, co-owner of Werkhoven Dairy in Monroe, considers the initiative bad policy wrapped in good intentions.
"As a farmer, I feel a moral and social responsibility to bring good, safe food to the table," he said. "When it comes to labels, they don't tell the whole story. They tell the fraction of the story the label's supporters want."
He doesn't think the measure would affect the dairy operation -- milk is exempt under the initiative -- but it could hurt his farmer friends and put a dent in his own wallet.
"Whenever you add layers of bureaucracy or regulations, it comes with a cost, and ultimately somebody is going to be paying for it," he said. "I believe my food bill will go up."
What it would do
If voters approve Initiative 522 on Nov. 5, labels will be required on processed and packaged foods made with genetically engineered ingredients starting July 1, 2015.
Washington would be the first state in the nation to have such a mandate in force if it passes.
The initiative takes aim primarily at products sold in markets and grocery stores. It also applies to fruits and vegetables, as well as seeds and seed stocks.
It specifies that labels reading "partially produced with genetic engineering" or "may be partially produced with genetic engineering" be put on the front of packaging. The same requirement applies to packets of seeds.
With fruits or vegetables, a label can be put on a bin or a shelf depending on how they are stocked.
What this would mean, say initiative supporters, is that one could expect labels on snack foods, sodas and cereals as well as salad dressings, canned soup and canola oil.
That's because these days, the vast percentage of sugar beets, soybeans, corn and canola used in such products is enhanced in some manner through the manipulation of the plant's DNA. Labels are intended to inform consumers that at least one ingredient has undergone such genetic engineering, though it won't reveal which ones.
Initiative 522 doesn't cover everything we eat. It exempts alcohol, food served in restaurants and "medical food." Milk, eggs and meat are excluded, too, even if the dairy cows, beef cows and chickens are fed with feed grown from genetically engineered seed.
Under the measure, the state Department of Health will craft rules for implementing the law. Failure to comply with the law could result in fines of up to $1,000 a day.
Points of contention
Initiative 522 is on the ballot because 350,000 people signed petitions to put it there and it's long seemed like a very popular measure. An Elway Poll conducted in early September found 66 percent of voters would definitely or probably vote for it.
But that poll occurred before opponents started airing television ads and sending out mailers, and the editorial boards of the state's largest newspapers, including The Herald, came out against it.
With voting under way, the focus of the fight is centered on two questions: Is the usefulness of labels undermined by the exemptions, and will the cumulative effects of the law drive up costs in a noticeable way.
Supporters argue consumers have a right to know what's in the food they buy in stores and it won't cost the companies huge sums of money to tell them.
"People just want more information about their food," said Elizabeth Larter, spokeswoman for the Yes on 522 campaign.
She estimated 60 percent to 80 percent of products in stores might end up with a label under the law.
As far as exemptions, the ones on liquor, restaurant food and cheese conform to federal rules that don't allow those to be labeled.
The initiative's exemptions on meat, fish and dairy products make sense because the animals themselves are not genetically engineered, she said. If the federal government ever approves genetically engineered cows or chickens, then the beef, milk or eggs produced from them would need a label, she said. Same with fish, she said.
Dana Bieber, spokeswoman for the No on 522 campaign, said all the exceptions will leave consumers confused. Labels won't make them better informed because they won't reveal what it is in the product that triggered the need for a label.
"Your right to know will start and stop as you walk around the grocery store," she said.
Opponents strenuously argue that Initiative 522 will drive up the price of many food items. Companies will be forced to spend money to create special packaging to comply and will recoup those expenses through higher prices, Bieber said.
A Washington Research Council study paid for by opponents estimated a family of four could shell out anywhere from $200 to $520 more a year -- which works out to between 50 cents and $1.50 a day.
Then there's the tab for the Department of Health. The Office of Financial Management -- which is the budget office for Gov. Jay Inslee -- predicts the state will spend $396,000 to set up the program in the next two years and roughly $750,000 a year to operate it.
"They say it won't cost a dime. That's ridiculous to say. The cost of food most definitely will go up," Bieber said.
Larter said in 64 other countries with GE labeling laws, the price of their groceries did not go up. And in the United States, when the federal government started requiring labels with nutritional information, it did not cause a spike in prices, she said.
"How is that not going to cost anything and these five words will?" she said.
What about safety?
Are foods made with genetically engineered ingredients safe?
Leaders of the Yes on 522 campaign say that question isn't part of this debate.
"We are not saying it is safer or not safer. We are not saying it is better or not better," Larter said.
But for Tristan Klesick, and many people like him, it is part of why he is behind the measure. He said the long-term health of Americans is threatened by the proliferation of genetically modified organisms in food.
"If it passes, I think it will force America as a country to face this on a national level," he said. "I think this food is part of our problem."
Werkhoven is of the opposite mindset and credits the availability of GMO products with curtailing hunger in this country and around the world.
"I am personally, absolutely comfortable," he said. "I would feed my children genetically modified products in a heartbeat."

Funding fight
Millions of dollars are pouring in from out-of-state interests who view this battle as a crucible in the fight on food labeling in the U.S. Nearly $23 million has been raised by the opposing camps. The biggest checks coming in are from companies that faced off in California last year when voters rejected a nearly identical food-labeling initiative.
