Rated 4.8 out of 5�by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by DKim Nice but tight The product was wonderful though it didn't help get the Bronco's into the Supper Bowl, but the sizes run very, very small. I bought a medium for my wife but she could have used an XL, but if I brought that home I would be sleeping with the dog. I bought a Large for myself but probably could have used an XL or even an XXL. YOU MUST TRY THE SHIRTS ON IN THE STORE!!!! January 26, 2013

Comments about adidas UEFA Champions League Shin Guards:
These are for my daughter to use under her shin guards and socks. The shin guard of this is rather small so she doesn't use it but a longer guard over the sleeve to help prevent the rash she gets when she uses the regular shin guard. I've heard of kids using the arm sleeve from football but those were more expensive and you have to purchase them separately.

Solly Tyibilika was shot and killed in Cape Town on Saturday night.
The news broke via Twitter on Sunday that the 32-year-old Tyibilika had been murdered on Saturday. Supersport commentator Kaunda Ntunja said on his Twitter account: 'Makhaya Jack [a former SARU player and currently a Supersport commentator] has just come from Sollys home in PE and he has confirmed…Solly Tyibilika has passed away.'
It has now been confirmed that Tyibilika was shot at a tavern in the Cape Town township of Gugulethu. Police confirmed a shooting but had not formally identified the victim on Saturday night.
A witness from the scene told the Daily Voice: 'This was not a robbery because they left all the other patrons alive and killed him – there was no conversation, they just shot him. And Solly clearly didn't expect it because he didn't show any sign of fear while sitting there.'
A number of coaches and players have expressed their sadness on social networking sites, and Saru has also released a statement lamenting the loss of an important player.
'Solly was a trailblazer among black African Springboks and if the reports are correct, to lose him so suddenly and in this brutal manner is very distressing. The casual disregard for life in our society is shocking,' said Regan Hoskins, president of Saru.
'His emergence was a demonstration of what can be achieved when talent is combined with opportunity in what is always a very competitive position in Springbok rugby. I remember a very talented player and an immensely likeable young man who rose far and fast to become a Springbok early in his career.'
Tyibilika played eight games for his country, the last of which was as far back as 2006. He struggled to play regularly at Super Rugby level after that, and was until recently coaching the U19A side at Cape Town club Hamiltons.

Lady Falcons Look to Build on 2012 Picked Fifth in 2013 Preseason Coaches Poll
January 28, 2013
HIGH POINT, N.C. - With four returning players, including three all-conference honorees, from last year's record-setting squad, the Erskine College Flying Fleet are again poised to make another run at the conference title. The Fleet took the top spot in this year's preseason coaches poll. Pfeiffer University was selected fifth overall.
Last year the Fleet (23-4, 11-0) posted their second 20-win season under Head Coach Calhoun Parr and went undefeated in conference play. Erskine also recorded their first victory over a Top 10 team, topping #9 Clayton State, and earned their highest seeding to date in the NCAA regional tournament (#4).
Erskine returns three of their top four players, including their #1 singles and doubles player in junior Corin Hallman. Last season Hallman anchored the Fleet at the top spot going 19-7 in singles and 17-9 in doubles, including a perfect 11-0 in conference play, in route to earning her second 1st Team All-Conference Award. Sophomore Mika Goyette concluded her inaugural season on a 16 set win streak, winning the conference freshman of the year award, while posting a team-best 21-3 singles record, 10-0 in conference, and 21-6 in doubles. She also was voted 2nd Team All-Conference.
Queens University of Charlotte has been picked to finish second overall in the annual Conference Carolinas preseason coaches' poll. The Royals women's tennis team is looking to continue with their successes from last season were they finished 9-1 in the league and 15-4 overall, finishing second in the regular season standings and runner-up at the conference championships.
The Royals had a strong showing in the fall led by 2012 All-Conference first team member Christina Rustcheff and third team member Morgan Roberts. The Royals performed well in the Conference Carolinas Individual Tournament with Rustcheff winning the tournament's A bracket and multiple other team members finishing in the top three of their brackets. The Royals look to build on recent successes and aim to take the Conference Carolinas title and advance to the NCAA Championships.
Mount Olive brings back three starters from last year's record-setting squad, including the region's seventh-ranked doubles team. After tying a school single-season wins record with 14 victories in 2011, the Trojans posted a 19-8 overall record in 2012 and won a share of the Conference Carolinas East Division with a 9-2 mark.
Sophomore Francesca Ceppi and senior Molly Sue Lentini enter the 2013 season ranked No. 7 in women's doubles in the Southeast Region after reaching the quarterfinal round of the Group A Women's Doubles at the ITA Fall Southeast Regional. The two players did not team up in doubles last year, but both reached double figures in wins, Lentini at No. 1 doubles and Ceppi at No. 3 doubles.
Rounding out the Coaches Preseason Poll 4-12 are: Limestone, Pfeiffer, Barton, Coker, Belmont Abbey, North Greenville, Converse, King, and Lees-McRae respectively.
CONFERENCE CAROLINAS WOMEN'S TENNIS PRESEASON COACHES POLL (First Place Votes)

New album: The Take Off And Landing Of Everything
Artist: Elbow
Label: Polydor
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
During the first decade of the 21st century, Britain was popping out good-to-great bands like a busted Pez dispenser. Although they never received the hype of Oasis, Elbow were among the best of the bunch.
Their latest effort "The Take Off..." doesn't stray far from what Elbow are known for: Sweeping walls of music topped off by Guy Garvey's Peter Gabriel circa 1973 inspired vocals. Anyone doubting this comparison should compare the Genesis song "Looking For Someone" to "Lunette" from "The Take Off...". Anyone pining for the Peter Gabriel-fronted version of Genesis should latch onto Elbow immediately.
While vocally and sonically Elbow pull generously from early-era Genesis, they get off the highway when it comes to arrangements. There are no 22-minute epics on "The Take Off....", even though the obtuse album title suggests otherwise. A few songs creep over the seven-minute mark (the title track and "This Blue World"), but they never meander.
Even though Elbow are usually referred to as a "guitar" band, the slow, building pulse of "This Blue World" is driven by the tasteful keyboard work of Craig Potter. Potter shines throughout on "The Take Off..." and like Richard Wright of Pink Floyd and Tony Banks of Genesis, Potter isn't a showboat. Rather, he creates textures and melody lines that pull all the facets of Elbow's sound together while leaving room for controlled chaos.
It's good that the guys in Elbow are serious about what they do, but at times they can come off as sad-sacks. Even when Garvey approaches something sort of like a love song with "Colour Fields," it still sounds like he's figuring out which bridge to jump off of. This kind of navel gazing would be a mortal sin if not for the inclusion of the darkly brilliant album closer, "The Blanket Of Night," Potter's spooky keyboards are so enticing on "The Blanket Of Night" you'd swear the spirit of Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek had taken over his body.
Elbow have managed to survive by making consistently good albums such as "The Take Off..." and their fan base should be large enough to sustain them. Most of this album is too dark and beautiful to compete in a mainstream pop market, but thankfully that's almost gone so it doesn't matter anyway.
Classic album: Malpractice
Artist: Dr. Feelgood
Label: Legacy/Columbia
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Dr. Feelgood (the band – not the song you listened to while driving around the mall in 1989) formed in Britain in 1971. Their sound was dubbed "pub rock," which basically meant blues-infused rock that people of questionably sobriety wanted to hear in bars.
"Malpractice" was Dr. Feelgood's second album, and its sound and attack isn't incredibly dissimilar to the first couple of albums by George Thorogood & The Destroyers: Echo-free drums, sleazy blues-rock riffs delivered via band originals and tasty covers of Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley, and zero desire to deviate from their tried-but-true formula.
Dr. Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson turns in several great tunes, especially "You Shouldn't Call The Doctor (If You Can't Pay The Bills) and "Going Back Home," and his playing is driving and precise. Lee Brilleaux's vocals weren't incredibly distinctive, but his ebullient style was a perfect fit for the material. In the case of "Malpractice" Johnson and Brilleaux's talents blended the best on Robert Parker's "Watch Your Step" - a song Jimmy Page used as "inspiration" for the riff in Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick."
While many of their blues-rock brethren were interested in groove, Dr. Feelgood attack their songs as if they were something that had to be dealt with. This jabbing performance style allowed the band to be corralled into the punk scene that would eventually make things really cute in England near the end of the 1970s. It's hard to fathom a band that covered Huey "Piano" Smith could ever be lumped in with punk, but then again so was AC/DC for about 10 minutes.
"Malpractice" is a good slice of mid-1970s rock that pointed towards the sounds later made by The Clash among others. It's evident that Dr. Feelgood never bothered with being considered an "important" band, they just wanted everybody to have a good time.

Fee Brothers Falernum, West Indies Style, 12.8 oz
- 12.8 oz. Bottle (375ml)
- For mixed drinks, coffees and dessert toppings
- Non-Alcoholic
Falernum Syrup (pronounced pronounced fah-learn-um) is often called for in tropical and caribbean cocktails. You'll find it sometimes in a Mai Tai or a Rum Swizzel along with the famous Zombie cocktail and many others. If you happen to have Orgeat Syrup your on the right track but you'l find less almond-syrup flavors within this bottle of Falernum but no doubt you'll find the intense ginger notes along side the muted almond.
We get a bit of clove and lime and a definite syrup sweetness that, alone, could simply be placed on ice and sipped with some club soda to water it down and bring out more flavor. Or, utilize it in place (or conjunction) with orgeat.
A great product for any bar to have on hand for some wild tiki/polynesian tropical drinks. As my daughter always says, Don't Squeeze, Use Fees!

(NewsUSA) - You box toys and shoes for disadvantaged children, collect canned goods and donate to your favorite charity every year -- but have you considered leaving a permanent legacy to help support your cause?
Bequeathing money to a charity in your will is one of the best ways to act as a philanthropist through your lifetime and beyond. Many charities rely on legacies to run their programs -- some receive as much as 40 percent of their income from bequests.
There are many ways to leave a bequest to the charity or charities of your choice. You can donate all or part of your retirement plan, IRA, 401k, life insurance plan, stock portfolio or estate.
You can even ask a charity to put your money towards a specific cause or program.
If you do not specify how you want your money to be used, the charity will most likely add the money to their endowment, where it can be used to support any number of worthy causes.
Many charities offer legacy programs to help potential benefactors give.
More than 80 percent of Americans give to charities. But a 2007 survey conducted by Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy found that only 8 percent of all Americans include legacies in their wills. Considering 2009's rocky economy, that percentage has surely dropped.
Many Americans worry that, by leaving a charitable bequest, they may put their heirs at a disadvantage. But leaving a legacy in your will could reduce the estate taxes that the will's other beneficiaries need to pay.

Whether used to heat your home or build a campfire, firewood is a must-have item for millions of Americans. However, firewood also presents a very real threat to the Nation's forests. Invasive species including the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) and emerald ash borer (EAB) can be spread into new areas of the country on firewood. To date, ALB and EAB have been detected in a total of 13 States and without intervention the continued spread of these pests is likely. To this end, APHIS is combating these invasive pests with quarantines, public awareness campaigns and other efforts in known infested areas, while some States have adopted regulations limiting the movement of firewood. However, these actions alone are not enough; it is up to all of us to contribute to the preservation of our Nation's forests by committing to not move firewood from where it is cut. By "burning where you buy it" you can be sure that you're not accidentally moving these damaging forest pests into new areas.
In addition to the interstate movement of firewood, APHIS also recognizes that invasive species can move across international borders in firewood. In fact, the movement of firewood into the United States from all foreign countries other than Canada is prohibited without treatment. To address and further harmonize this issue internationally, in 2008, APHIS issued a Federal Order requiring all hardwood firewood entering the United States from Canada be heat treated to kill any pests in the wood. Additionally, on May 22, 2011 APHIS issued a Federal Order requiring all softwood firewood entering the United States from Canada be heat treated to kill any pests in the wood, along with modifying the treatment requirements of hardwood firewood. APHIS is working with its Canadian counterpart, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to develop long-term solutions to this issue.
News and Information
National Firewood Task Force:
One of the steps APHIS is taking to address the risk of interstate forest pest movement on firewood is to look at possible regulatory, voluntary and outreach strategies to help limit the inadvertent spread of forest pests. Through the National Firewood Task Force, APHIS, the National Plant Board, National Association of State Foresters, U.S. Forest Service and the National Parks Service have developed a set of recommendations for State and Tribal officials to consider regarding steps they can take to combat this threat. These recommendations were developed by the Task Force over a period of six months in late 2009 and early 2010 and are currently in the process of being reviewed by various stakeholder groups. If you have comments or suggestions regarding the recommendations, please e-mail us at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

The mystery of the murders seems to have been solved, but the riddle of the Velvet Room and the lethal Midnight Channel is an enigma that Yu and the other students who form the Investigation Team have yet to crack. That's to say nothing of the question of how their powers of Persona work in the first place, and how the fictional Teddie can exist in the real world. As conundrums wrap in conundrums and the school year burns inexorably towards a blistering summer, the team must prepare for the most deadly challenge yet while still pretending to lead normal high school lives.
Unfortunately, that won't be easy under the evil eye of their new homeroom teacher. And when Detective Shirogane reenters the game with new information about irregularities in the police investigation and clues that may lead to an entirely different conclusion, both team and detective find themselves playing the role of prey once more! The body count is on the rise, the Shadows attack and new Persona are about to ascend as the Midnight Channel launches the ultimate cancellation program!
Contains episodes 13-26.

Scratch is the wildly popular educational programming language used by millions of first-time learners in classrooms, libraries, and homes worldwide. By dragging together colorful blocks of code, kids quickly learn computer programming concepts and make cool games and animations.
In Super Scratch Programming Adventure!, kids learn programming fundamentals as they make their very own playable video games. They'll create projects inspired by classic arcade games that can be programmed (and played!) in an afternoon. The book's patient, step-by-step explanations of the code and fun programming challenges will have kids creating their own games in no time.
This full-color comic book makes programming concepts like flow control, subroutines, and data types effortless to absorb. Packed with ideas for games that kids will be proud to show off, Super Scratch Programming Adventure! is the perfect first step for the budding programmer.
GDNet Staff Review:
Super Scratch Programming Adventure is a departure from the typical books I review. For one, it is for kids. And it is written in the style of a comic book (or "graphic novel" as some soon-to-be-mentioned kids corrected me). It is a book designed to gently get kids involved in game programming using the already-gentle "Scratch" programming/animating tool for kids.
As for my reviewers, I knew I was so far out of the target demographic that I wouldn't be able to fairly review this title, so I recruited a couple of local kids to help me. My first reviewer was my ten year-old daughter, and the second was her 12 year-old male Manga-obsessed friend from across the street. I figured they would give me a good idea of how this book would appeal to kids.
My daughter was already a bit of a Scratch-adept, having taken a one-week course in it over the summer. She was also a bit lazy in her approach, as each chapter of the book is a two-page framing story followed by several pages of "how to make a Scratch program that resolves the situation in the story". There are plenty of code listings and screenshots, but since Scratch is such a colorful Lego-esque environment to start with, the code listings merge in seamlessly with the comic characters.
The book was a much better fit with boy-across-the-street. While he had been playing with the Khan Academy interactive Javascript tutorials, he had no knowledge of Scratch. He wasn't drawn in as much by the comic book story as he was by the Scratch tutorials, and within a few hours he had picked up enough Scratch that he was emailing my daughter an animated cartoon that he'd put together and posted to his Scratch web account. And the next day he emailed her a completed game that my daughter described as "impossibly difficult". But in both cases, the projects he had put together were not just examples from the book. They were original apps that he had built. Just like me as a kid using examples from "Getting Started with Color BASIC For The TRS-80", he had built the book's examples, figured out what makes the examples tick, and then went on to make his own stuff.
And that's how programmers start out!
Super Scratch Programming Adventure is a bit of a grand experiment in cultivating baby programmers. It is written for a very young audience ''' the 10 and 12 year-olds I tested the book on were probably on the upper bound of the audience. It is clearly the child of No Starch Press's "Manga Guide" series, only even more approachable and colorful, with splashy colorful listings and screenshots on every page.
The Amazon price for this book at the time of this review is under $14. You can buy a PDF version from No Starch Press's website but it's more expensive. And If you get this in the hands of the right kid, it is going to be read a dozen times and will be traded with friends and will be generally abused, so you probably want the paper copy anyway.
If you have a 6-10 year old boy or girl in your family, I unhesitatingly recommend Super Scratch Programming Adventure for their holiday gift. It is not too expensive, and if it ends up in the hands of the right kid, it will be a life-changing experience. If anything, check out the "Click To Look Inside" link on the Amazon page to see how kids' programming books should be done.
This is one of those books that, 40 years from now, experienced programmers will be sharing "oh yeah, that's the book that got me started" stories.

Thank you for considering Bits of Lace, Fine Lingerie in your search for intimate apparel!
Surveys continue to report that 8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong size bra. Although there are hundreds of boutiques across the country, fitting thousands of women a year, fewer stores provide professional, knowledgeable bra fittings.
If it's been a while since you were fit, (or you're not sure if you were ever wearing the right size to begin with), you've come to the right place. Bits of Lace employs a team of bra fit specialists, highly experienced and specially trained by European lingerie manufacturers to find you the right fit and style.
It's important to keep in mind that seemingly small changes in your body can affect your bra size. Bits of Lace suggests being re-fit with any significant weight change, pregnancy/nursing, surgery, hormonal fluctuation, even a change in exercise routine. Our Bra Fit Specialists will not only size you correctly, but help you find the right style.
What's the easiest way for Bits of Lace Customer Service Team to answer your bra related questions?
First refer to your bra's style number. The style number is an alpha/numeric combination found on your bra's tag. Also remember when referring to your size, use the UK band size.
Finding Your Proper Bra Size
The Bits of Lace Ladies are committed to helping you look and feel your best, wherever you are in life. If you can't visit our store for a fitting, follow our guide for an accurate sizing.
You'll need a soft tape measure and your best fitting, unpadded bra.
To Determine Your Band Size:
For an accurate measurement, it is crucial that you have a flesh to rib cage measurement. To do this correctly, bend over slightly and locate where your breasts naturally fall away from your chest wall. Snugly wrap the tape measure around this part of your chest. This is your rib cage measurement.
If you measured an odd number we suggest you round up to an even number. ie: 31 = 32
To Determine Your Cup Size:
Put on your best fitting, most supportive bra. Stand with your elbows slightly out and wrap the tape measure across the fullest part of your breasts. This is your bust measurement.
Subtract your rib cage measurement from your bust measurement. The difference between the two measurements determines your cup size.
To Determine Your Bra Size:
Quick Tip for Smaller Busted Women: Be sure to take all measurements as accurately as possible. Even quarter inches make a significant difference in the comfort and fit of smaller cup sizes.
Bits of Lace bras come in UK/US band sizing and European cup sizing. You'll notice the only real difference is an American DD cup is a European E cup. European bra bands are measured in centimeters (cm), but UK sizes are measured in inches and always visible on tags.

En español | In thinking about your retirement plans, are you drawn to urban living but deterred by the chaos, crowds and high cost of big-city life?
If so, you might find just what you're looking for in a small city — one that combines the energy and excitement of cosmopolitan life with the charm and neighborliness of a small town.
To help you find such a place, we scoured dozens of small cities throughout the United States and selected our 10 favorites.
In making our picks, we focused on cities with a unique sense of place and a manageable size: Each has a population under 100,000 — small enough to easily navigate but large enough to offer a wide array of culture, amenities and services. These are cities with fairly solid economic foundations and low crime rates. Many are home to colleges and universities, as well as museums, concert halls and theaters.
Take a look at our list and see if you can find the city that feels just right for you.
Burlington, Vermont
What's not to love about a town that offers world-class urban planning, a thriving, artsy economy and easy access to myriad outdoor activities, including excellent skiing and sailing? Ah yes: the cold. OK, Burlington is in northern Vermont, which means winters come early, stay late and mean business. But to many folks, that's a fair trade off.
See also: Where to retire for a good life for less
Burlington, located about 180 miles northwest of Boston and 75 miles south of Montreal, scores high for livability among seniors. In 2008, AARP honored the Winooski Falls neighborhood with a livable community award for its blend of businesses, residences, public transportation and recreational spaces.
The city's centerpiece is Church Street Marketplace, a four-block, partially enclosed pedestrian mall that mixes Victorian and Art Deco buildings with modern structures to create a thriving city center. Casual and fine dining, coffee shops and bars, galleries and shops — it's all here. The site of the first Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop, founded in the late 1970s, is now a parking lot but its reincarnation is nearby on Church Street. The marketplace, like much of Burlington, often buzzes with college-town energy from the 11,000 students at the University of Vermont.
Retirees seeking culture can check out the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, a 1,453-seat Art Deco masterpiece built in 1930, which hosts the local symphony, a musical theater group, touring musicians and, in June, the Discover Jazz Festival. Classical and jazz musicians perform on the UVM campus, and professional and student actors take the stage at the university's Royall Tyler Theatre. And UVM's Robert Hull Fleming Museum has an extensive collection of fine art and ethnographic material, as well as space for traveling exhibits.
The city sits on the shores of Lake Champlain, a great place for sailing, kayaking, fishing and more. Miles of lakefront trails keep walkers, joggers and cyclists in shape, and numerous ski resorts, including Stowe, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen and Jay Peak, are within easy reach.
Reasons for pause, besides the winters, include high taxes and expensive housing. But the median household income is also way above average, and housing foreclosures are almost unknown. If your retirement daydreams involve a healthy, culturally rich, lakeside town, Burlington may be for you.

Two matches into the NCHSAA 3-A soccer playoffs, Jacksonville has barely been challenged, outscoring its first two foes 16-1.
And while it took the Cardinals 30 minutes to get their first goal against West Brunswick on Saturday, once the scoreless tie was broken it was all Jacksonville, which rolled to 7-1 victory over West Brunswick on Saturday night.
The Cardinals (22-1), the top seed out of the Coastal Conference, will play host to Wilson Hunt (16-6-1) either Tuesday or Wednesday, with the time yet to be determined. Hunt, the No. 3 seed out of the Big East, beat West Carteret 3-2 in overtime Saturday.
West Brunswick, the No. 2 seed out of the Waccamaw Conference, finishes 12-10-2.
Aaron Sparks scored 3 goals and Warren Washington added 2 to lead the Cardinals, who scored 6 goals in the final 10 minutes of the first half and first four minutes of the second half to take command of the match.
"It took us awhile to get going," JHS coach Dave Miller said. "They played a real good defensive game, kind of clogging it up, preventing our opportunities."
Austin Petselas got the scoring going with a header off a corner kick with 10 minutes left in the half and, Miller said, "then we exploded." Sparks got all 3 of his goals after that to make it 4-0 at halftime.
"We relaxed a little bit and they actually opened up a little bit and we were able to create some opportunities," Miller said. "It took us a little while to get going. They did a good job early of getting numbers behind the ball and took us a little while to sort it out and create our opportunities."
W. Brunswick 0 0— 1
Jacksonville 4 3— 7
GOALS—WB: Melvin. JHS: A. Sparks 3, Washington 2, Patselas 1, Moore 1. ASSISTS—WB: none. JHS: C. Sparks 3, Washington 1, Moore 1. IN GOAL—WB: Johnston (7 saves). JHS: McCracken (3 saves) and Davis (2 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—WB 6, JHS 16. CORNER KICKS—WB 1, JHS 4. RECORDS—W: 12-10-2, season complete. JHS: 22-1, hosts Hunt in third round.
Dixon 2, Manteo 1: Dixon coach Kevin Hicks didn't struggle to find words to describe the Bulldogs' win at Manteo in the second round of the NCHSAA 1-A playoffs.
"We just finished more chances than they did," he said.
Dixon got goals from Christian Hansley and Chris Brown to build a 2-0 lead before holding off Manteo.
With the win, the Bulldogs, a wildcard from the Coastal Plains Conference, advance to the third round where they will visit Franklin Academy likely on Wednesday.
Franklin Academy beat Riverside-Martin 8-0 on Saturday.
Hansley gave Dixon a 1-0 lead when he scored off an assist from Austin Billiot before Brown made it 2-0 in the second half off an assist from Fernando Martinez.
Manteo's Ricardo Segura scored with 17 minutes left to make it 2-1.
"We played extremely well in the first half," Hicks said. "We don't have one player who carries the team."
Dixon 1 1— 2
Manteo 0 1— 1
GOALS—D: Hansley, Brown. M: Ricardo Segura. ASSISTS—D: Billiot, Martinez. IN GOAL—D: Kenny Berregard (4 saves). M: Jose Martinez (6 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—D 8, M 5. CORNER KICKS—D 6, M 3. RECORDS—D: 14-8-1, at Franklin Academy in third round Wedesday. M: 16-4-1, season complete.
Cleveland 2, White Oak 1: White Oak's season came to an end with a loss at Cleveland in the second round of the NCHSAA 3-A playoffs.
The Vikings allowed a penalty kick goal with 20 minutes left from Cleveland's Jacob Burton that proved to be the difference.
White Oak was the second seed from the Coastal Conference. Cleveland, the top seed from the Eastern Carolina Conference, will visit Southern Nash in the third round.
"We dominated the game," White Oak coach Buddy Carroll said. "The opportunities we had, we didn't stick them away."
The Vikings' Gabe Aquino tied the game 1-1 in the first half with a goal.
White Oak 1 0— 1
Cleveland 1 1— 2
GOALS—W: Gabe Aquino. C: Nick Brinke, Jacob Burton. ASSISTS—None. IN GOAL—W: Josh Helms (4 saves). C: Kio Solis (18 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—W 19, C 6. CORNER KICKS—W 4, C 1. RECORDS—WO: 17-5, season complete. C: 19-6, at Southern Nash in third round.
Jordan Matthews 2, Richlands 0: Jordan Matthews scored two second-half goals to defeat Richlands in the second round of the NCHSAA 2-A playoffs in Siler City, ending the Wildcats' season.
Richlands, the No. 4 seed out of the East Central Conference, finishes 11-11-1. Jordan-Matthews (17-4-1), the No. 1 seed out of the Mid-State Conference, will play host to No. 2
Topsail beat Reidsville 8-0 Saturday.
"We didn't play too bad," Richlands coach Mike Roed said. "I think their style of play just got us, and their field was a real, real small field. It was only 52 yards wide. I think the field conditions kind of got the best of us."
Normally, high school soccer fields are 60 to 65 yards wide, Roed said, adding the game was played based on the dimensions of a football field. Roed said the field at Richlands is 64 feet wide.
"It just wasn't what we were used to and it just showed they were. Home-field advantage," Roed said. "It was really, really tight. We're just not used to playing it like that. They packed it in and were able to get two fast breaks on us and put it in on us in the second half."
Richlands 0 0— 0
Jordan Matthews 0 2— 2
GOALS—JM: NA. ASSISTS—NA. IN GOAL—JM NS. R Eddleman (5 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—R 3, JM 7. CORNER KICKS—R 5, JM 3. RECORDS—R 11-11-1, season complete. JM 17-4-1, hosts Topsail in third round, TBA.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To screen for, detect, evaluate, and monitor acute and chronic liver inflammation (hepatitis), liver disease and/or and damage
When to Get Tested?
Periodically to evaluate liver function; whenever you are at risk for liver injury; when you are taking medications that may affect your liver; when you have a liver disease; when you have symptoms associated with liver damage, such as jaundice
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
You may be instructed to fast overnight with only water permitted. Follow any instructions you are given.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
A liver panel is a group of tests that are performed together to detect, evaluate, and monitor liver disease or damage. The liver is one of the largest organs in the body and is located in the upper right-hand part of the abdomen and behind the lower ribs. The liver metabolizes and detoxifies drugs and substances that are harmful to the body. It produces blood clotting factors, proteins, and enzymes, helps maintain hormone balances, and stores vitamins and minerals. Bile, a fluid produced by the liver, is transported through ducts directly to the small intestine to help digest fats or to the gallbladder to be stored and concentrated for later use.
A variety of diseases and infections can cause acute or chronic damage to the liver, causing inflammation (hepatitis), scarring (cirrhosis), bile duct obstructions, liver tumors, and liver dysfunction. Alcohol, drugs, some herbal supplements, and toxins can also pose a threat. A significant amount of liver damage may be present before symptoms such as jaundice, dark urine, light-colored stools, itching (pruritus), nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, and unexplained weight loss or gain emerge. Early detection is essential in order to minimize damage and preserve liver function.
The liver panel measures enzymes, proteins, and substances that are produced or excreted by the liver and are affected by liver injury. Some are released by damaged liver cells and some reflect a decrease in the liver's ability to perform one or more of its functions. When performed together, these tests give the doctor a snapshot of the health of the liver, an indication of the potential severity of any liver injury, change in liver status over time, and a starting place for further diagnostic testing.
The panel usually consists of several tests that are run at the same time on a blood sample. These typically include:
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) – an enzyme mainly found in the liver; the best test for detecting hepatitis
- Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) – an enzyme related to the bile ducts but also produced by the bones, intestines, and during pregnancy by the placenta (afterbirth); often increased when bile ducts are blocked
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) – an enzyme found in the liver and a few other organs, particularly the heart and other muscles in the body
- Bilirubin – two different tests of bilirubin often used together (especially if a person has jaundice): total bilirubin measures all the bilirubin in the blood; direct bilirubin measures a form that is conjugated (combined with another compound) in the liver
- Albumin – measures the main protein made by the liver; the level can be affected by liver and kidney function and by decreased production or increased loss
- Total protein (TP) – measures albumin and all other proteins in blood, including antibodies made to help fight off infections
Depending on the doctor and the laboratory, other tests that may be included in a liver panel are:
- Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) – another enzyme found mainly in liver cells
- Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) – an enzyme released with cell damage; found in cells throughout the body
- Prothrombin time (PT) – the liver produces proteins involved in the clotting (coagulation) of blood; the PT measures clotting function and, if abnormal, may indicate liver damage.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Some of the tests that may be included in the panel may require fasting overnight with only water permitted. Follow any instructions provided.

Frans Ludeke says the Lions' poor run of form belies their ability to hurt teams on their day.
The Lions have won just one of their six matches, their latest defeat coming against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. The Bulls travel to Ellis Park heavy favourites and full of confidence after victory over the Crusaders at Loftus on Saturday.
The Lions have pointed to their injury list as the mitigating factor for their poor form, but coach John Mitchell's refusal to veer from a flawed expansive approach is also central to their struggles. The Lions have resolutely stuck to the belief they can run teams ragged without earning the right to through erosive phase play.
Like those before them, the Cheetahs exploited the fundamental errors in their strategy by dominating the gainline on defence and ensuring a slow recycle which allowed their defensive line to set. They also worked from preceding teams' blueprints in isolating runners in the wide channels and regularly forcing turnovers or penalties.
Mitchell insists that they will continue to play this way, explaining that the problem lies in the execution of the method and not the method itself. Ludeke highlighted the Lions' potential threat if they managed to find synergy on the day.
'They've played that way under John Mitchell since the start of his time their as coach and there's no reason to believe they'll play any differently against us,' Ludeke told keo.co.za. 'It's not up to me to prescribe to them how they play, only to prepare my team for what we expect to be a match where we have to make a lot of tackles, especially in the wide channels.
'We defended well for a long time against the Crusaders, absorbing a lot of pressure, but there were some soft moments at the end of the match that allowed them in,' Ludeke added, reflecting on his side's 32-30 victory at the weekend.
'Dominating the gainline will allow us to control the game better. But we take nothing for granted. We respect the Lions' ability to hurt us with their running game and we have to keep improving defensively and not losing concentration at crucial times.'
The Bulls have shown their ability to severely punish teams who seek to play expansively against them without depleting their defensive line by bossing the tackle fight. The Cheetahs and Reds were victims of 51-19 and 61-8 hammerings respectively and it wouldn't be surprising if the Gauteng derby ended with the Lions on the receiving end of a similarly brutal mauling.
The hosts could be without captain Josh Strauss and lock Paul Willemse, who are awaiting the results of scans on injuries sustained in the defeat to the Cheetahs. The Bulls are likely to be bolstered by the return of Deon Stegmann and Willie Wepener from injury. They are unlikely to make mass changes, but this website understands that they will give winger JJ Engelbrecht a start at outside centre, with Johann Sadie playing off the wood.
Meanwhile the Bulls have refused to apologise to the Crusaders for eye-gouging allegations that there dismissed due to insufficient video evidence. They said in a statement: 'The rules are clear and we applied them 100 percent correctly. We had the right to raise the matter with the referee and we accept the fact that there was no video evidence.
'Our players' integrity is just as important to us, as the Crusaders' players integrity is to them. I feel the players will not make unfounded accusations unless something has happened.
'For them to suggest we must now apologize, just because there is no video evidence available, would mean we have lied. It is ridiculous to suggest that every time there is a citing and there is not enough evidence, the other team should apologize. It is a pity they have raised the matter through the media, as our doors of communication with them have always been open for a direct approach. We would have followed the official and appropriate channels.'

BROAD CREEK – East Duplin is in a position to win the East Central 2-A Conference soccer title.
Credit that to sophomore Adams Canales, who scored with 16.5 seconds left in the first 10-minute overtime to lift East Duplin past Croatan 1-0 in a match featuring the league's top two teams.
The Panthers (13-3-1, 7-0) can clinch the ECC's top seed for the NCHSAA 2-A playoffs with a victory at Northside tonight. An additional win would then secure the conference title outright for East Duplin, ranked eighth in the N.C. Soccer Coaches Association 2-A poll.
"We are happy at the moment," East Duplin coach Joey Jones said. "That (ECC title) was our goal to start with."
The Cougars (11-5, 5-2) were hoping to defeat the Panthers and create a first-place tie with East Duplin with three league remaining league games. Croatan lost 5-2 at East Duplin on Sept. 30 after leading 2-0 at halftime.
"This was a wonderful effort on our part," Croatan coach Paul Slater said. "The guys came in and did everything we asked of them."
But East Duplin won this match, thanks to Canales' goal.
Standing inside the 18-yard box, Canales played a crossing pass from the right side by junior Ian Wickline. Canales then took a step to his left and fired a shot into the left part of the goal.
"I was about to be offside because I kept closing on the defense," Canales said. "I just stood there for a little bit, I called for the ball, just took a step and shot."
It was Canales' 11th goal on the season.
"We are always trying to get Adams free," Jones said. "He's been hot for us, especially in the last several weeks. We are trying to find him and we are lucky that we did find him tonight."
And what did Slater think of the goal?
"They played it through, he cuts it back and it goes in," he said. "We changed our formation because we wanted to win and didn't want a tie and so the game became much more open in the last 10 minutes and in the two overtimes when we changed it."
Croatan wasn't able to do much with the ball in the ensuing moments following Canales' goal since it happened so late in the first overtime.
The Cougars also weren't able to muster a shot on goal in the second overtime, and they played down a man in the final 2:28 after Gunner Tolston received a red card.
"Croatan is a hard team," Canales said. "We went more defensive."
Both teams ended with four shots on goal with most of them coming from outside the 18 and each shot being saved by goalkeepers, Zach Tracy of Croatan and Diego Avila of East Duplin.
The Cougars' best chance came seven minutes into the second half when they had an open shot from point-blank range go over the goal.
"We were a little unlucky not to score there early in the second half," Slater said. "We score that and it changes the game because it would allow us to sit back a little bit more."
The two squads traded spurts of controlling ball possession.
"We knew we were coming in for a battle," Jones said. "Not much separated us. Both teams put in a lot of heart and played hard. We are happy to get the win."
Canales said the Panthers were focused on limiting Croatan leading scorer, Garrett Bridgewater, who entered with 14 goals.
"He has a good left foot and coach told us to mark him at all times because he's the key," Canales said. "They (EDHS defenders) busted their tails tonight."
And now the Panthers are closer toward an ECC title.
"It feels good," Canales said. "We got three more games and we are just looking to win them."
East Duplin 0 0 1 0— 1
Croatan 0 0 0 0— 0
GOALS—E: Canales. ASSISTS—E: I. Wickline. IN GOAL—E: Avila (4 saves). C: Tracy (4 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—E 4, C. CORNER KICKS—E 5, C 5. RECORDS—E: 13-3-1, 7-0, at Northside today. C: 11-5, 5-2, hosts Dixon on Saturday.

The Fortress programming language has some very powerful features. Guy Steele's slides here (slides 52 onwards) illustrate some of its features including how to split a sentence into words in parallel.
Here we look at some ways to use Groovy and GPars to solve that problem.
First we can write an imperative sequential version:
And test it as follows:
Now, we can ask ourselves a question. Is this solution in its current form easy to turn into a parallel solution? The answer is NO. Each step in our loop relies on the result from the previous step. So, if I split the sentence into say two pieces, and I am processing the start of the second piece, I don't know whether a character or space finished the previous piece. I.e. the order in which I process information is important in the current algorithm and to make it work easily in parallel, we need to refactor the algorithm into some equivalent where the order is no longer important. Technically we require that the algorithm is associative. The figure below shows what we mean.
(If we have three things to calculate, it doesn't matter if we do the first two first or the last two first.)
Another useful property that would be good for our algorithm to have is left and right identity ("zero") elements.
This property allows us to run our algorithm on boundary points. Basically we can turn this:
into this:
Technically, I have created a monoid. But that's not important.
So to do that (credit to Guy's article) we need to change the algorithm to remember the boundary conditions. To do that we will create a little domain for remembering "chunks" and "segments" of partial results. Here is one way to code that solution:
Now we can write a slightly more functional flavored sequential solution:
And if we want we can check our associative properties:
This produces the output:
200 tests
and gives me confidence that my algorithm is a monoid. The above showed that
Segment's have left and right identity elements (in fact both
Check.ZERO and
Segment.ZERO work). We could have additional checks for the associativity piece or for properties of
Now we can write a parallel version.

Editor's Note: The Daily Times Leader would like to thank coaches Stan Hughey and Brian Middleton for providing stats for the junior high teams throughout the year. We would also like to thank Kristen Stevens and Dana Smith for contributing pictures of these teams during the season.
For the second year in a row, the Oak Hill Academy boys (18-7; 5-1) and the Lady Raiders (21-7; 6-0) junior high basketball teams won the district.
Over the past weekend, both teams battled through some tough competition at Carroll, but the two were victorious in the final round.
The junior high girls got started on Friday, playing the Manchester Lady Mavericks. Oak Hill easily took this game 39-13, showcasing the team's great defensive skills.
Sarah Dill led the team in this one with 14 points. Johanna Carnathan score 12, and Macie Allen finished with five points and four steals.
Bet Langley and Lexie Harden scored three, and Kaylay Duncan finished with two points.
In the final game, Oak Hill battled the Carroll Academy Lady Rebels, eventually topping the girls 52-30.
Oak Hill took a 17-2 lead into the second quarter, which built up to a 32-16 halftime lead. The Lady Raiders out-scored Carroll 13-8 in the third quarter and added five more in the fourth to complete the 22-point win.
Dill once again led the team, this time with 29 points. She had 11 rebound and five assists as well.
Carnathan scored 13 points, with nine rebounds and five steals.
Allen scored five, and Langley finished with six points. Harden played a big defensive game, acquiring three steals on the night.
The boys team, coached by Brian Middleton, started out strong in the first game on Friday, defeating Carroll 46-37.
Bradley Allen led the squad in this game with 20 points. Drake Riley came off the bench for eight points, while Riley Pierce netted five points.
Curt Huffman had three, and Chase Nash, Stephen Ross and Dakota O'Bryant scored two each.
"It was a tough game," Middleton said of the No. 2 seed Carroll. "We played really well, and we led from the end of the first quarter to the last."
In the second game, the boys faced Manchester Academy, and they defeated the Mavericks 43-29 to win the championship trophy.
"They did not have a double-digit quarter," Middleton said of Manchester. "We played really good defense the whole night."
Huffman had the most points when the game was over, with 15. Allen was right behind him with 13, and Riley scored four.
Matthew Gwathney and Nash scored three each, and O'Bryant and Pierce both scored two. Heath Ford scored one point for the Raiders on the night as well.
Both of these young teams show a lot of promise for the future of Oak Hill basketball.

MARK KEOHANE fears for the Bulls on their tour of New Zealand and Australia.
They're the team I support but I can't see them winning a game on tour after their performance against the Force.
The Blues have always been a difficult team for the Bulls to play against. History suggests even the best Bulls teams struggled with the Blues and early 2013 season form suggests more pain for Pierre Spies and his boys at Eden Park on Sunday.
The Bulls tour this season is among the more difficult travel assignments because the Crusaders in a fortnight will be a different proposition from the limp mob bossed around in Auckland a week ago.
The Brumbies have settled well in what was always going to be a bigger test than last season. All credit to Jake White and his coaching ability. He took no name brands last year and youngsters and stunned many teams with a South African brand of rugby. He is evolving that to find greater balance between something you see from the best Australian and South African teams. He is doing it splendidly and if you see how easily the Brumbies did break the Bulls defensive line a year ago, it could be more of the same in Canberra, but with a different result to last year at Loftus.
By the time the Bulls reach Brisbane it could be that their minds are already in Pretoria and their bodies could be punch bags for the Reds attack. It is the nature of touring early and having such a difficult assignment.
The Reds copped 60 points early on against the Bulls in Pretoria a year ago and it is the timing of the return clash that could see a reversal of fortunes.
The Bulls pack will be strong but it lacks a dynamic edge and unless centre Jan Serfontein is introduced from the outset I don't see the Bulls backs doing much damage. They look laboured in the first two matches and they play too laterally. Serfontein is still a kid but he's an exciting talent. Outside of that the backline is loaded with solid citizens and not many citizen X's.
The Bulls have the intent to play good rugby and they want to use the ball but they don't have the kind of backline player good enough to turn those half chances into something spectacular. Their best bet would be to strangle the Blues pack and hope for slow poison. To do so their overall defence would have to improve but the combination of travel and attacking limitation makes this more a possibility than a probability.
I'd have a different view of the tour if it was the Reds first up but it isn't and while the next month could get messy for the Bulls it doesn't mean they can't make the play-offs.
A few years back they lost five in succession and went on a fantastic home run. Teams can lose up to six games in the league and still make the play-offs. Losing four on tour would be a bad month but not necessarily mean a bad tournament.
Two wins out of four would make for a very good tour, but even one win in four would be a decent return for a team whose form has been more flat than fabulous, despite their forward-based winning effort against the Stormers in the opening match.

Robert Papp, Commandant, USCG

Click below to hear the interview
By Dorothy Ramienski
Internet Editor
Federal News Radio
The commandant of the Coast Guard is responsible for all world-wide Coast Guard activities. He oversees 42,000 active duty military, and 8,000 civilian full-time employees.
Also under his command are another 8,000 reserve military part-time employees, and 30,000 civilian auxiliary volunteers.
Admiral Robert Papp assumed these duties on May 25, and has pledged to refine the homeland mission of USCG.
Papp talked with Federal News Radio about a variety of topics on Wednesday morning, including USCG's response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Fighting Disaster in the Gulf
The Coast Guard has always been responsible for sovereignty and security issues along the coast of the U.S., and Papp said this has gained new meaning in the aftermath of 9/11. (In 2003, USCG was moved under the Department of Homeland Security.)
USCG has been instrumental, too, when it comes to assisting with natural disasters, and their efforts in the Gulf of Mexico are no exception.
Papp explained that it has been a team effort so far, and said the retention of Admiral Thad Allen as National Incident Commander has been essential to their work.
"He [is] very well qualified for the job, having dealt with Hurricane Katrina [in 2005] along the Gulf Coast. The lines of authority go from the President to the Secretary of Homeland Security to the National Incident Commander in this particular case, and, as Commandant of the Coast Guard, I'm providing forces to Admiral Allen and that National Incident Command, which is a cross-government response in this particular case, to help with the spill. We've got about 2,000 people. We have about 20 of our Coast Guard cutters. We have nearly two dozen aircraft down there doing surveillance, spotting oil and people working in incident command posts. Then [we have] people actually out supervising and directing the commercial clean up activities that are going on."
Papp said he speaks to Allen almost daily, whether it is via email or in person.
Deepwater Acquisition Program Update
The acquisition project known as Deepwater is not without controversy.
During the 1990s, USCG saw some of its funding cut at the end of the Cold War. After 9/11, when the Coast Guard was moved under DHS, some of that funding was restored, and USCG began modernization efforts. During the last decade, not all of those new funds were managed properly and Deepwater came under fire.
A recent report from the Government Accountability Office, however, shows that the Coast Guard has taken steps to rework how they manage acquisitions, management and oversight.
Papp explained that Deepwater was very innovative when it was conceived, but does admit that the road to success has not always been smooth.
"We called it a system of systems approach. It was at a time when the Coast Guard was just recovering from some significant reductions in the mid-90s. We had to rely upon industry to provide us guidance and some help with the acquisition projects. We had some fits and starts and some problems to begin with, but what we've done is built our own acquisition force within the Coast Guard. We've disagregated the various projects that were in that [and] given them project baselines of their own and we've got a much, much better granularity on that right now. We're producing some great ships. We just laid the keel on a new line of patrol boats down . . . a couple months ago. We're getting good aircraft, which we're using down in the Gulf as we speak. So, while the project had a couple of fits and starts, it's going well now and we just have to make sure the Administration and Congress give us continued funding to keep those projects going."
Challenges Ahead
That funding, Papp said, is essential to keeping the Coast Guard up to snuff. He explained that one of the biggest challenges he is currently facing has to do with the fact that many of the ships are starting to show their age.
"The major cutters that we use . . . to protect our fisheries, for search and rescue, patrols to intercept drugs or to save migrants trying to reach our shores are all about 40 years old. Now, some people might think that's not a lot, but the fact of the matter is, the Navy oftentimes only uses their ships for 20 years before they find them to be obsolete. We've got ships that were built in the 60s and some of our aircraft even go back that far. Quite frankly, they're getting very expensive to maintain and they're falling apart. Part of my effort will be to try and get that infrastructure replaced as we go forward in the next few budget cycles."
