Jon Cardinelli and Ryan Vrede analyse the key match-ups and pick the winners at the weekend.
Round six witnessed some incredible upsets and while Aussie fans may be crying, South Africans are certainly smiling. The 14-man Bulls hammered the Hurricanes and the Lions mauled the inconsistent Brumbies. The Sharks reaffirmed their top-four status by flaying the Force and in Sydney the incumbent champs sounded a warning with an unlikely victory over the Waratahs. And don't forget the try-fest in Hamilton. It was a defensive shambles but an attacking gem.
Round seven sees four elementary calls with Vrede and JC butting heads over the results in Auckland and Christchurch. Vrede's backing both home teams to do the business while JC expects the Tahs and Stormers to dismantle the undercooked hosts.

BLUES vs WARATAHS, AUCKLAND, FRIDAY 08:35
Vrede's call: The Blues were absolutely murdered by the Chiefs while the Waratahs lost their second successive match, so picking a winner from these two is pretty tough. The Blues have shown a vulnerability against opposition who are rigidly structured (like the Tahs) but if they can shore up their defence and resist the urge to play expansively from the outset they should win. The Tahs haven't won at Eden Park in seven attempts and despite boasting a Wallaby-laden side, won't break that drought. Blues by 7
JC's call: My 2009 prediction record prescribes a conservative approach while the Waratahs' losing streak suggests a change in tact, but I can't bring myself to pick the Blues. The team has battled as a unit, and important figures like scrumhalf Taniela Moa have been at the heart of their lack of synergy. The backline has struggled to settle and this week sees another chop and change. Although Isaia Toeava is back where he belongs at 13, it all depends on the distribution of Moa and Jimmy Gopperth as well as the efficiency of a disjointed pack. The Waratahs have the beef up front and the solidity out wide to frustrate the Blues. They should beat them easily, but because of their own battle for momentum, it'll be a tight affair. Tahs by 3
Blues - 15 Paul Williams, 14 Anthony Tuitavake, 13 Isaia Toeava, 12 Jamie Helleur, 11 Joe Rokocoko, 10 Jimmy Gopperth, 9 Taniela Moa, 8 Jerome Kaino, 7 Onosai'i Auva'a, 6 Chris Lowrey, 5 Ali Williams, 4 Kurtis Haiu, 3 John Afoa, 2 Keven Mealamu (c), 1 Tevita Mailau.

HIGHLANDERS vs BULLS, PALMERSTON NORTH, SATURDAY 06:30
Vrede's call: The Bulls were outstanding against the Canes and if they execute that simple game plan in Palmerston North they'll bag two tour wins in as many matches. They'll dominate the scrums and lineouts, robbing the Landers of those attacking platforms. All that remains is to ensure they don't feed the Highlanders with broken-field ball through poor tactical kicking and turnover ball. Sounds simple and it will be for a rampant Blou Masjien. Bulls by 12
JC's call: The Bulls clicked in Wellington, but no victory against the Highlanders is ever guaranteed. The Mullet Men make you scrap and the Bulls will need to replicate the physicality of last week. Fourie du Preez and Morne Steyn will drive the Landers back into their own half with some raking punts, but the Bulls also have the firepower to make the Kiwis hurt in midfield. It'll be a boring first 40, but if the Bulls do it right, they could end this fixture with a bang. Bulls by 10
Highlanders – 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Ben Smith, 13 Jason Shoemark, 12 Daniel Bowden, 11 Kendrick Lynn, 10 Matthew Berquist, 9 Jimmy Cowan (c), 8 George Naoupu, 7 Alando Soakai, 6 Adam Thomson, 5 Tom Donnelly, 4 Hayden Triggs, 3 Clint Newland, 2 David Hall, 1 Jamie Mackintosh.

Subs: 16 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 17 Werner Kruger, 18 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 19 Jacques Burger, 20 Heinie Adams, 21 Burton Francis, 22 Jacobus Nel.
CRUSADERS vs STORMERS, CHRISTCHURCH, SATURDAY 08:35
Vrede's call: The beautiful letdowns have had a week in which to reflect on a poor start to the season and plot the way forward. Sadly for the Stormers' faithful the battering they gave the Lions will have fuelled coach Rassie Erasmus's belief that they can run teams off their feet without paying too much attention to establishing a good platform. The Crusaders, despite being a shadow of the team that won the 2008 title, will absorb the pressure and punish the mistakes which have become an all too familiar feature of the Stormers' play. The scrums and lineouts should be an even contest, but the Stormers will have the edge at the breakdown where their loose trio and hooker Schalk Brits could trouble the Crusaders. If the Stormers stifle the Saders' flow on attack and get clean ball going forward they could cause an upset. But I don't think they will. Crusaders by 7
JC's call: This is a massively important encounter for the Stormers as they begin their most difficult tour to date. It's going to be an arm-wrestle, with both teams reluctant to spread the ball in the early stages. The respective halfback combinations will be vital, and although Stephen Brett may shade Willem de Waal in the attacking department, the veteran is superior with the boot. With Peter Grant and Percy Montgomery in tow, the Stormers will feel confident about winning this battle. With ball in hand, De Waal will be under scrutiny as the Stormers won't get many opportunities to breach a well-drilled Saders defence. It'll be close, but the Stormers have the big names for the big occasion, and thanks to their recent lashing of the Lions, they should have the momentum and confidence too. Stormers by 5
Crusaders – 15 Leon MacDonald, 14 Adam Whitelock, 13 Casey Laulala, 12 Tim Bateman/Ryan Crotty, 11 Colin Slade, 10 Stephen Brett, 9 Andy Ellis, 8 Thomas Waldrom, 7 Nasi Manu, 6 Kieran Read (c), 5 Isaac Ross, 4 Brad Thorn, 3 Bronson Murray, 2 Jason Macdonald, 1 Wyatt Crockett.

Subs: 16 Tiaan Liebenberg, 17 JD Moller, 18 Hilton Lobberts, 19 Francois Louw, 20 Dewaldt Duvenhage, 21 Dylan des Fountain, 22 Conrad Jantjes.
REDS vs CHIEFS, BRISBANE, SATURDAY 11:05
Vrede's call: I had goosebumps watching the Chiefs smash the Blues and suspect the Reds could be on the receiving end of a similar clout. The Blues chose to counter-punch through an expansive game which simply played into the Chiefs' hands. The Reds, wary of their inferiority in the forwards, will attempt to do the same and don't expect the outcome to be different. They just don't have the forwards to play the structured game that troubles the Chiefs. The Chiefs will concede a couple of tries, it's just their way, but will score enough to ensure that they're never under pressure. Chiefs by 12
JC's call: The Reds are due a roasting and if the Chiefs finish in the same manner as last week the bonus point should be a formality. They have the ability to play loose or tight, and it is the latter approach that must be favoured in Brisbane. The Sharks came unstuck two weeks ago while the Stormers nearly stumbled in round two, and although the Reds aren't title contenders they are still dangerous in broken play. The Chiefs have the momentum, the class and the might to rout the Reds this weekend. Chiefs by 15
Reds – 15 Mark McLinden, 14 Blair Connor, 13 Digby Ioane, 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Rod Davies, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Ben Lucas, 8 Leroy Houston, 7 Daniel Braid, 6 Hugh McMeniman, 5 James Horwill (c), 4 Van Humphries, 3 Laurie Weeks, 2 Sean Hardman, 1 Ben Daley.
Subs: 16 Saia Faingaa, 17 Jack Kennedy, 18 Scott Higginbotham, 19 Poutasi Luafutu, 20 Brendan McKibbin, 21 Anthony Faingaa, 22 Charlie Fetoai.
Chiefs – 15 Mils Muliaina (c), 14 Lelia Masaga, 13 Richard Kahui, 12 Callum Bruce, 11 Sitiveni Sivivatu, 10 Stephen Donald, 9 Brendon Leonard, 8 Sione Lauaki, 7 Tanerau Latimer, 6 Liam Messam, 5 Kevin O'Neill, 4 Craig Clarke, 3 Ben May, 2 Hikawera Elliot, 1 Sona Taumalolo.
Subs: 16 Aled de Malmanche, 17 James McGougan, 18 Toby Lynn, 19 Serge Lilo, 20 Toby Morland, 21 Mike Delany, 22 Dwayne Sweeney.
SHARKS vs BRUMBIES, DURBAN, SATURDAY 17:00
Vrede's call: The Brumbies were beaten by the second-worst South African franchise last week and will be klapped by the Republic's best this weekend. Their primary threats are openside flank George Smith, centre Stirling Mortlock and fullback Mark Gerrard. However, as the Lions proved last week, their influence is nullified if the forwards are getting smashed and the primary kickers aren't on song. The Sharks will pound them at scrum time and dominate collisions, paving the way for a five-point haul. Sharks by 15
JC's call: The Brumbies blew hot in their win over the Waratahs and cold in their capitulation to the Lions, but even their best won't be enough to upset the Sharks in Durban. They lack a decent decision-maker at 10 and their best backline player, Gerrard, is wasted at 15. The Sharks' pack has been prominent and should affect a systematic demolition of the Brumbies this Saturday. Sharks by 10
Sharks - 15 Stefan Terblanche, 14 Odwa Ndungane, 13 Adrian Jacobs, 12 Riaan Swanepoel, 11 JP Pietersen, 10 Francois Steyn, 9 Rory Kockott, 8 Ryan Kankowski, 7 Keegan Daniel, 6 Jacques Botes, 5 Johann Muller (c), 4 Steven Sykes, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Subs: 16 John Smit, 17 Deon Carstens, 18 Albert van den Berg, 19 Skholiwe Ndlovu, 20 Charl McLeod, 21 Monty Dumond, 22 Luzuko Vulindlu.
Brumbies – 15 Mark Gerrard, 14 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 13 Tyrone Smith, 12 Gene Fairbanks, 11 Clyde Rathbone, 10 Christian Lealiifano, 9 Joshua Holmes, 8 Julian Salvi, 7 George Smith (c), 6 Mitchell Chapman, 5 Mark Chisholm, 4 Ben Hand, 3 Guy Shepherdson, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander.
Subs: 16 Huia Edmonds, 17 Salesi Maafu, 18 Shawn Mackay, 19 Peter Kimlin, 20 Patrick Phibbs, 21 Alfi Mafi, 22 Matt Toomua.
LIONS vs HURRICANES, JOHANNESBURG, SATURDAY, 19:10
Vrede's call: Jislaaik, Loffie's boys surprised a few with their against-all-odds win over the Brumbies last week, hey? Well, normal service will resume against the Hurricanes on Saturday. The Canes are one of the better touring sides, having won nine from 14 matches in South Africa since 2003. The altitude will be a factor but they possess enough class across the park to sneak a win. Loffie's pussycats will be brave and competitive for the first 60 minutes but capitulate thereafter. Canes by 7
JC's call: Last Saturday was not the beginning of a turnaround, I'm afraid. The Lions' pack won't be able to replicate the Bulls' physical assault that was so significant in the Canes' surrender in Wellington. The Hurricanes' defence is also one up on the Brumbies, with the experienced combination of Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith unlikely to slip many tackles in midfield. Piri Weepu had a 'mare last Friday, but has been a good pick at pivot for the Canes. If the visitors can achieve any sort of platform, their potent back division will run riot. Canes by 10
Lions – 15 Louis Ludik, 14 Ashwin Willemse, 13 Jaque Fourie, 12 Doppies la Grange, 11 Henno Mentz, 10 Andre Pretorius, 9 Jano Vermaak, 8 Ernst Joubert, 7 Todd Clever, 6 Cobus Grobbelaar (c), 5 Jannes Labuschagne, 4 Anton van Zyl, 3 Lawrence Sephaka, 2 Willie Wepener, 1 Heinke van der Merwe.
Subs: 16 Hans van Dyk, 17 Gert Muller, 18 Gerhard Mostert, 19 Willem Alberts, 20 Chris Jonck, 21 Earl Rose, 22 Shandre Frolick.
Hurricanes – 15 Tamati Ellison, 14 Zac Guildford, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Piri Weepu, 9 Alby Mathewson, 8 Rodney So'oialo (c), 7 Karl Lowe, 6 Faifili Levave, 5 Jason Eaton, 4 Jeremy Thrush, 3 Tim Fairbrother, 2 Dane Coles, 1 John Schwalger.

Morné Steyn says the Bulls' kick-chase approach has paved the way for them to score tries and stressed that they won't veer from it against the Stormers.
The Bulls, with 17 tries, lead the tournament in trips across the whitewash. That tally has been boosted by multi-try demolitions of the Cheetahs and Reds, with Steyn asserting that their method of crafting those scoring opportunities is justification for their unwavering faith in their renowned kick-chase approach.
'It's our belief that defences in general play are too well organised to create regular scoring opportunities and not risk turnovers,' the Bulls flyhalf told keo.co.za. 'We have two of the best wingers in the game at catching the high ball – Akona [Ndungane] and Bjorn [Basson] – and Zane [Kirchner] is close behind them. We stand a high percentage chance of getting it back in opposition territory if the kick is accurate. If they catch it, our next attack is against an unset defensive line. People can be critical of the execution but not the tactic because it is what has brought us many tries so far.
'When we punt deep [i.e not an up-and-under] we back our defensive line to put pressure on the returner if they run. If they kick we have a broken field opportunity. It's not entertaining in the way some people would like it to be but we have faith in it. We don't see any reason to change.'
In preparation for north-south derbies the Bulls had previously banked on the Stormers' inability to suppress their cavalier instinct to aid their cause. But much has changed for the Cape franchise, who now employ a strategy that closely mirrors the Bulls'.
Indeed the Stormers' primary kickers, Joe Pietersen (38) and Dewaldt Duvenhage (27) rank among the tournament's top 10 in tactical punts (Steyn is sixth in that category with 33). One suspects that if the Stormers had retained the same flyhalf from the opening game he too would feature prominently.
'They have definitely changed the way they play in the last three years or so and they are getting better and better at it,' Steyn said. 'They don't get tired of a kicking war. They also have the defensive power and discipline to defend through a lot of phases and force penalties or turnovers that create scoring chances. Their attack has been criticised but if you look at the quality of players there you know they can click at any stage.'
The Blues exhibited uncharacteristic restraint in beating the Bulls early in the tournament, employing a territory-based approach and then taking the chances they created through pressure defence. The Stormers will have to be equally clinical at Newlands on Saturday if they hope to retain their unbeaten record.

Groovy Shell
The Groovy Shell, aka.
groovysh is a command-line application which allows easy access to evaluate Groovy expressions, define classes and run simple experiments.
- Features
- Command-line Options and Arguments
- Evaluating Expressions
- Commands
- Preferences
- User Profile Scripts and State
- Screen Shots
- Troubleshooting
- No need for
gocommand to execute buffer.
- Rich cross-platform edit-line editing, history and completion thanks to JLine.
- ANSI colors (prompt, exception traces, etc).
- Simple, yet robust, command system with online help, user alias support and more.
- User profile support
Command-line Options and Arguments
The shell supports several options to control verbosity, ANSI coloring and other features.
./bin/groovysh --help usage: groovysh [options] [...] -C, --color[=FLAG] Enable or disable use of ANSI colors -D, --define=NAME=VALUE Define a system property -T, --terminal=TYPE Specify the terminal TYPE to use -V, --version Display the version -d, --debug Enable debug output -h, --help Display this help message -q, --quiet Suppress superfluous output -v, --verbose Enable verbose output
In addition to options, commands or expressions can be given on the command-line which will invoke the shell in non-interactive mode. The commands or expressions will be evaluated and the shell will exit. If no additional arguments are given the shell will startup interactively.
Execute a Command
./bin/groovysh 'show preferences' No preferences are set
Evaluate an Expression
./bin/groovysh 'System.properties.each { k, v -> println("$k = $v") }' java.runtime.name = Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition sun.boot.library.path = /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Libraries java.vm.version = 1.5.0_07-87 awt.nativeDoubleBuffering = true gopherProxySet = false ...
Evaluating Expressions
Simple Expressions
println "Hello"
Evaluation Result
When a complete expression is found, it is compiled and evaluated. The result of the evaluation is stored into the _ variable.
Multi-line Expressions
Multi-line/complex expressions (like closure or class definitions) may be defined over several lines. When the shell detects that it has a complete expression it will compile and evaluate it.
Define a Class
class Foo { def bar() { println "baz" } }
Use the Class
foo = new Foo() foo.bar()
Shell variables are all untyped (ie. no
def or other type information.
This will set a shell variable:
foo = "bar"
But, this will evaluate a local variable and will not be saved to the shell's environment:
def foo = "bar"
Functions can be defined in the shell, and will be saved for later use.
Defining a function is easy:
groovy:000> def hello(name) { groovy:001> println("Hello $name") groovy:002> }
And then using it is as one might expect:
The shell has a number of different commands, which provide rich access to the shell's environment.
Commands all have a name and a shortcut (which is something like
\h). Commands may also have some predefined system aliases. Users may also create their own aliases.
Recognized Commands
Display the list of commands (and aliases) or the help text for specific command.
The Command List
groovy:000> help For information about Groovy, visit: http://groovy.codehaus.org Available commands: help (\h ) Display this help message ? (\? ) Alias to: help exit (\x ) Exit the shell quit (\q ) Alias to: exit import (\i ) Import a class into the namespace display (\d ) Display the current buffer clear (\c ) Clear the buffer show (\S ) Show variables, classes or imports inspect (\n ) Inspect a variable or the last result with the GUI object browser purge (\p ) Purge variables, classes, imports or buffers edit (\e ) Edit the current buffer load (\l ) Load a file or URL into the buffer . (\. ) Alias to: load save (\s ) Save the current buffer to a file record (\r ) Record the current session to a file history (\H ) Display, manage and recall edit-line history alias (\a ) Create an alias set (\= ) Set (or list) preferences For help on a specific command type: help <command>
Help for a Command
While in the interactive shell, you can ask for help for any command to get more details about its syntax or function. Here is an example of what happens when you ask for help for the
help command:
groovy:000> help help usage: help [<command>] Display the list of commands or the help text for <command>.
Exit the shell.
This is the only way to exit the shell. Well, you can still
CTRL-C, but the shell will complain about an abnormal shutdown of the JVM.
Add a custom import which will be included for all shell evaluations.
This command can be given at any time to add new imports.
Display the contents of the current buffer.
This only displays the buffer of an incomplete expression. Once the expression is complete, the buffer is rest. The prompt will update to show the size of the current buffer as well.
groovy:000> class Foo { groovy:001> def bar groovy:002> def baz() { groovy:003> display 001> class Foo { 002> def bar 003> def baz() {
Clears the current buffer, resetting the prompt counter to 000. Can be used to recover from compilation errors.
Show variables, classes or preferences or imports.
show variables
groovy:000> show variables Variables: _ = true
show classes
show imports
show preferences
show all
Opens the GUI object browser to inspect a variable or the result of the last evaluation.
Purges objects from the shell.
purge variables
purge classes
purge imports
purge preferences
purge all
Edit the current buffer in an external editor.
Currently only works on UNIX systems which have the
EDITOR environment variable set, or have configured the
editor preference.
Load one or more files (or urls) into the buffer.
Saves the buffer's contents to a file.
Record the current session to a file.
record start
record stop
record status
Display, manage and recall edit-line history.
history show
history recall
history flush
history clear
Create an alias.
Set or list preferences.
Some of aspects of
groovysh behaviors can be customized by setting preferences. Preferences are set using the
set command or the
\= shortcut.
Recognized Preferences
Set the shell's verbosity level. Expected to be one of:
Default is
If this preference is set to an invalid value, then the previous setting will be used, or if there is none, then the preference is removed and the default is used.
Show the last result after an execution.
Default is
Sanitize (trim-down/filter) stack traces.
Default is
Configures the editor used by the
edit command.
Default is the value of the system environment variable
Setting a Preference
set verbosity DEBUG
Listing Preferences
To list the current set preferences (and their values):

User Profile Scripts and State
Profile Scripts
This script, if it exists, is loaded when the shell starts up.
This script, if it exists, is loaded when the shell enters interactive mode.
Edit-line history is stored in this file.
Screen Shots
These shots have been taken over the development of the new shell, so some of the content might look slightly different. Also, note the yellow colors here are the shell's bold color, so the colors might look different depending on how the enclosing shell has its colors setup.
Please report any problems you run into. Please be sure to mark the JIRA issue with the
Groovysh component.
Platform Problems
Problems loading the JLine DLL
On Windows, JLine (which is used for the fancy shell input/history/completion fluff), uses a tiny DLL file to trick the evil Windows faux-shell (
CMD.EXE or
COMMAND.COM) into providing Java with unbuffered input. In some rare cases, this might fail to load or initialize.
One solution is to disable the frills and use the unsupported terminal instance. You can do that on the command-line using the
--terminal flag and set it to one of:
groovysh --terminal=none
Problems with Cygwin on Windows
Some people have issues when running groovysh with cygwin. If you have troubles, the following may help:
stty -icanon min 1 -echo groovysh --terminal=unix stty icanon echo

Bulgari White Tea is the third in their tea lineup that I own. To my nose, it's the most subtle of the three. I think to call it "bland" would be premature, as I have to spend more time with it. May be my nose will be more susceptible to it as time goes by - but that requires frequent reapplication since it seems to basically evaporate on my skin on touchdown. Probably a matter of skin chemistry.

Everyone who smells this on me comments on how good I smell! It's perfect for daytime wear and is considered unisex.

I have loved this for years and love to wear it everywhere. It's unique. It's subtle. It's so non-fussy. A young man I know calls it a "non-Grandma" scent. When it's freshly sprayed, I smell the rich tea. A little time later comes the black pepper, and other things I don't have the knowledge to describe. I keep sniffing my own wrist, it's so entrancing.

Bulgari "Au the Blanc" or White Tea is the best scent I have ever used. First used at MGM Las Vegas. It was complimentary from the hotel. I loved the products (lotion, shampoo, hand soap and Tea bags for the bath) so much that I packed them in my luggage for 5 days so that housekeeping would "restock" the products daily. I am sure that they knew we were taking them but every day there were replacements. I will always associate this scent with vacation so I always smile when I smell it. have gotten more compliments on this scent then I have ever gotten. It is subtle yet fresh/clean. I will definitely order products from FragranceNet again. You receive so many little "extra's" along with your order. 2 thumbs up.

I love this perfume. I am VERY picky and a lot of perfumes make me nauseous. I've used this perfume for years and it's still my favorite. This company is also the best. I've compared prices and they are consistently lower priced than anyone else. Love the perfume. Love the company. WIN WIN SITUATION!

Our technicians recommend to make sure the engine oil is clean and at the correct level, then run the engine for 20 minutes at 2,000 rpm. If this does not correct the fault the valve lifters should be replaced.

DEEP RUN — There is a logjam at the top of the East Central 2A Conference girls basketball race, and South Lenoir is a part of it.
The Blue Devils, who are one of four teams tied for first in the conference, host Clinton tonight in a matchup of two of those tied teams.
South Lenoir (11-3, 5-1) is tied with the Dark Horses (12-4, 5-1), Jacksonville Northside (12-3, 5-1) and East Duplin (13-3, 5-1) for first with eight league games remaining.
Regardless of what has happened with the program in the past, its coaching staff feels its success up to this point has been no fluke.
"Now that we've grown the way we have as a team, I think it's exactly where we belong," head coach Donald Mooring said.
The Blue Devils, who have won six games in a row and nine of their last 10, are having success thanks to a myriad of factors.
The team has added several players, whether through transfer or entering the program after middle school, who have not only given them talent but leadership. Then the coaching staff — Mooring acting as the head coach while former head coach Mishella Crain calls the shots — has been able to see the little things, such as fundamentals, begin to bloom in the players who have been around a while.
All together, South Lenoir is officially in first place when very few felt it could happen.
"These girls have been working extremely hard for the last two years. They've taken it on the chin and they've gotten better and better and they're really starting to play together as one," Crain said.
"I'm very grateful that we're at the top right now, and hopefully after tomorrow night it'll stay that way."
Part of their string of wins was a surprise victory over Northside on Jan. 8. That win — the program's first over the Monarchs, said Athletic Director Lisa Smith after the game — has given a team that, before this season, used to expect to lose, all the confidence that it can now defeat anyone.
Next up are the Dark Horses — a team similar to Northside.
"We're going to have to play very good defense and take away their outside shooting and hit the boards," Crain said. "They like to run the floor a lot so we're going to have to trim that down as well."
Mooring analysis of the Monarchs was slightly more simplistic.
"It's going to be like playing Northside over again," he said.
There is still a guaranteed tie for first place following tonight because not only does South Lenoir host Clinton but Northside and East Duplin — the last team to defeat the Blue Devils — will tangle as well.
Mooring admitted that, when he was interviewed by The Free Press for its season preview for the Blue Devils, he was optimistic the team would finish in the "middle of the pack."
Today, it sits in a four-way tie for first, and getting there has been a long road.
"When you're team's not used to winning, sometimes breaking that hump — we're going to lose, we're going to lose, we're going to play but lose — having to break that cycle was a big thing. We've had some success in winning some games and that was a big hump," Mooring said.
"Now the girls are going into the games, especially after beating Northside, understanding they could win anytime they step on the floor. That was a big mountain to climb.
"Every night it's a battle. When you step on the floor against these teams you have to go at it with your all."

Kinston rang in 2012, the 250th anniversary of its founding, with not one but two New Year's Eve celebrations last year.
This year, things will be slightly more scaled down — but still fun.
"We're not going to have two like we did last year," said Bill Ellis, Kinston-Lenoir County Parks and Recreation director. "We're just going to do it one time."
The 2011 New Year's Eve celebration at Pearson Park included a fireworks display at 7 p.m. for the "Olde Kingston New Year's Eve" to mark the English observance of New Year's Eve, and again at midnight for the U.S. East Coast observance.
The celebrations included live music, food and drink, including English-style tea and crumpets, and the raising of a metal model airplane with fireworks.
This year, the celebrations return to Pearson Park from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday, with live music from the Eastern North Carolina band TAZZ, and a New Year's countdown at 9 p.m. followed by a fireworks show.
"We didn't have a lot of people stay for the midnight celebration (last year), so we thought we'd just do it earlier this year," Ellis said.
He said the earlier end time will allow families to "attend with their children and not stay out so late."
The celebration is being put on by the Parks and Recreation Department and VisitKinston.
Jan Parson, director of VisitKinston, said the fireworks show "will be similar to the display that we have for our BBQ festival and the Fourth of July."
Last year's event was the first time in recent years the city had put on a New Year's Eve bash, but Parson said such celebrations will be "an annual event for the city and for VisitKinston" in the future.
Parson stressed the celebration on the last day of the city's 250th anniversary will not be related to the many anniversary events which took place during 2012.
"It's simply to have a family event on New Year's . . . and to bring more attention to our riverfront and all the things we can do to enjoy our parks on the river," she said.

The BLM is responsible for carrying out a variety of programs for the management and conservation, of resources on 258 million surface acres, as well as 700 million acres of subsurface mineral estate, These public lands make up about 13 percent of the total land surface of the United States and more than 40 percent of all land managed by the Federal government. To see how BLM is organized, click here. Most of the public lands are located in the Western United States, including Alaska, and are characterized predominantly by extensive grassland, forest, high mountain, arctic tundra, and desert landscapes. The BLM manages multiple resources and uses, including energy and minerals; timber; forage; recreation; wild horse and burro herds; fish and wildlife habitat; wilderness areas; and archaeological, paleontological, and historical sites. Click here for a medium size map (1288 x 760) of BLM-managed lands and click here for a large size map (4168 x 2460).
In addition to its minerals management responsibilities noted above, the BLM administers mineral leasing and oversees mineral operations on Federal mineral estate underlying other state, private, or Federally-administered land, and manages most mineral operations on Indian lands. The public lands provide significant economic benefits to the Nation and to states and counties where these lands are located. Revenues generated from public lands make BLM one of the top revenue-generating agencies in the Federal government. In 2007, for instance, BLM's onshore mineral leasing activities will generate an estimated $4.5 billion in receipts from royalties, bonuses, and rentals that are collected by the Minerals Management Service. Approximately half of these revenues will be returned to the States where the mineral leasing occurred.
The Bureau administers about 57 million acres of commercial forests and woodlands through the Management of Lands and Resources and the Oregon and California Grant Lands appropriations. Timber receipts (including salvage) are estimated to be $55.4 million in fiscal year 2007, compared to estimated receipts of $33 million in Fiscal Year 2006 and actual receipts of $13.5 million in Fiscal Year 2005.
Under its multiple-use management mandate, the Bureau administers more than 18,000 grazing permits and leases and nearly 13 million authorized livestock animal unit months on 160 million acres of public rangeland. BLM manages rangelands and facilities for 57,000 wild horses and burros. The 258 million acres of public land administered by the BLM includes over 117,000 miles of fisheries habitat.
The Bureau has an active program of soil and watershed management on 175 million acres in the lower 48 states and 86 million acres in Alaska. Practices such as revegetation, protective fencing, and water development are designed to conserve, enhance public land, including soil and watershed resources. The BLM is also responsible for fire protection on public lands and on all Interior Department in Alaska, as well as for wilfire management on the public lands on the public lands in Alaska and the Western States.
The job of balancing this mix of resources and uses grows more complex each year, as the West's population growth creates new pressures and heightens existing management challenges. With over 68.3 million people living in the region today, the West continues to be the fastest-growing area in the nation. This growth — and the urbanization that accompanies it — places new demands on BLM-managed land.
Working with its partners at the local, state, and national levels, the BLM will ensure the health and productivity of the public lands for current and future generations.
The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management-Eastern States, is responsible for the stewardship of the public lands and resources under the jurisdiction of the BLM in 31 States east of and bordering the Mississippi River. Major programs include: Cadastral Survey, General Land Office Records, Wild Horse and Burro Adoptions and Compliance, Energy and Minerals, Lands, Renewable Resources, Wildland Fire Management, and National Landscape Conservation Areas.
Eastern States consists of the State Office in Springfield, Virginia; two Field Offices: one in Jackson, Mississippi, and one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and the Division of Solid Minerals in Rolla, Missouri. We also have a Lower Potomac River Field Station located in Virginia, and several smaller project offices throughout the eastern United States.
The Milwaukee Field Office is responsible for the following 20 northern states: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. It also includes a Division of Solid Minerals located in Rolla, Missouri.
The Jackson Field Office is responsible for the following 11 southern states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The Lower Potomac River Field Station is responsible for acquired lands in the greater national capital metropolitan area, which include: Meadowood Farm, Douglas Point, and Maryland Point.
The Bureau of Land Management's Eastern States became an official State Office on April 8, 1980, with responsibilities for managing the public lands and resources in the 31 states that are contiguous and east of the Mississippi River. Through the leadership of its State Directors during our history, Eastern States has conducted its programs with a clear mission in mind - responsible stewardship of the public treasures entrusted to our care.
Eastern States is an active, dynamic organization made up of a diverse workforce of dedicated civil servants.
During the history of the Bureau of Land Management's Eastern States, we have truly become Guardians of the Past--Stewards for the Future.

Hi there!
My Team and I are playing an Only War beta campaign, and we have a Commissare in our party.
My question is: what is the hierarchy/relation between a commissar and the various officers of the army?
I have already red this page but iam still in doubt.
-Do commissars have ranks inside the organization of the imperial guards?
-Can a commissar give commands to officers?
-What is the relation between the commissar and party's support specialist players? Like psykers and tech priest assigned to a squad.
Or he has authority only in "Morale" and "Political" matters? If so, what kind of matters are considered to be as such?
thank you for the answer

Long Ball Pushes #20 Belmont Abbey Past Baseball 5-3 in Non-Conference Action Tuesday; Same Teams Meet for League Series Saturday-Sunday
March 22, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Belmont Abbey College, ranked #20 in the latest Collegiate Baseball poll, used a three-run blast from Chris Vazquez (Miami, FL) in a four-run fourth to score a 5-3 non-conference win over Pfeiffer University in baseball action Tuesday afternoon. Overall, the Crusaders move to 24-7 on the year while the Falcons fall to 13-19.
RBI-groundouts provided the first runs of the day in the Belmont Abbey second and Pfeiffer third. Tim Dye (Clermont, FL) brought home the visitors run in the second on a groundball to short while Jacob Yates (Blairs, VA) evened things for the Falcons with his groundball to second in the third.
In the decisive four-run fourth for Belmont Abbey, a leadoff walk and base hit by Joey Frabasile (Hartsdale, NY) set the table for Vazquez to deliver his liner to left for a 4-1 lead. John Cucchiarella (Kantoah, NY) later capped off the frame with a run-scoring infield single to second.
Pfeiffer tried to make things close late with runs in the eighth and ninth, but Crusader closer Jordan Cudney (Charlotte, NC) would get three strikeouts in the ninth to preserve the win. Jesse Dunn (Easley, SC) made it 5-2 with a RBI-double to left in the eighth while Eric Shoemaker (Huntersville, NC) also picked up a run-scoring two-bagger in the ninth.
Cudney picked up his eighth save of the season for reliever Matt Parish (Morristown, NJ) tossing the final 1.2 innings with his three strikeouts. Parish tossed the middle three frames on Tuesday going nine-up, nine-down during his tenure.
Frabasile, Vazquez and Caleb Shore (Kannapolis, NC) each had two hits for the Crusaders while Dunn had the only multi-hit game for Pfeiffer.
The same two teams will meet again this weekend at Pfeiffers Joe Ferebee Field for their three-game Conference Carolinas series. Saturdays twinbill begins at noon while Sundays series-finale kicks off at 1:00 p.m.

|All Children's Hospital Thanks Florida Congressional Delegation
All Children's Hospital Thanks Florida Congressional Delegation
(July 7, 2006) St. Petersburg, FL – Thanks in part to the unanimous backing of Florida's Congressional delegation, All Children's Hospital can continue its unique role as west central Florida's teacher of tomorrow's physicians for all children.
With bipartisan leadership, the U.S. House of Representatives on June 21 passed, by a vote of 421 – 4, legislation to continue a vital children's health program that ensures the training of pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists in the nation's children's teaching hospitals.
"Congress has made the right decision to continuing to invest in the future of health care for all children," said Gary Carnes, President & CEO of All Children's Health System.
Using the suspension calendar reserved for non-controversial legislation, the House passed, by a vote of 421 – 4, H.R. 5574, the Children's Hospitals GME Support Reauthorization Act, by Reps. Nathan Deal (R-GA) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH), the chairman and ranking minority member of the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee. H.R. 5574 would reauthorize for five more years $300 million annually for the federal Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) Program. Reps. Deal and Brown were joined by 20 members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee on both sides of the aisle in co-sponsoring the bill.
H.R. 5574 was unanimously endorsed by the subcommittee on June 8 and the full Energy and Commerce Committee on June 15. Last year, the Children's Hospitals Education, Equity and Research Act, was introduced by Reps. Nancy Johnson (R-CT), Deborah Pryce (R-OH), and Brown and secured 168 additional cosponsors in support of reauthorization. Reps. Johnson, Pryce, and Brown have been champions of the multi-year authorization and annual appropriation of CHGME funding each year since Congress first enacted the program in 1999.
Florida Representatives Ginny Brown-Waite, Mark Foley, Jim Davis, Robert Wexler and Bill Young have been strong supporters of CHGME. All five signed on as co-sponsors of Rep. Johnson's earlier bill, and were joined by the twenty remaining Florida representatives in voting in favor of H.R. 5574.
"Children's hospitals are deeply grateful to the bipartisan leadership of the Energy and Commerce Committee and full House for advancing this important legislation and to our own members of Congress for making this program the success it has become for all children," said Carnes.
H.R. 5574 now moves to a joint House-Senate conference committee, which will be appointed to resolve differences between H.R. 5574 and S. 285, by Sens. Kit Bond (R-MO), Edward Kennedy (D-MA), Mike DeWine (R-OH), and Patty Murray (D-WA), plus 18 cosponsors. That bill, which would authorize $330 million for CHGME, passed the Senate unanimously last year under a similar procedure for non-controversial Senate legislation.
The CHGME program supports the training missions of the nation's 60 independent children's teaching hospitals. Though they represent only one percent of all hospitals, these GME-eligible children's hospitals train nearly 30 percent of all pediatricians, half of all pediatric subspecialists, and the majority of the nation's pediatric research scientists.
"CHGME has been a great success," said Carnes "Thanks to CHGME support, independent children's teaching hospitals including All Children's Hospital have been able to substantially strengthen their training programs in the past five years."
At a time of nationwide shortages of pediatric subspecialists, the growth in CHGME hospitals' training programs accounted for more than 80 percent of all new pediatric subspeciality training programs and more than 65 percent of all new pediatric subspecialists in training. Had it not been for the growth in CHGME hospitals' training programs, there would have been a net decline in the number of general pediatricians trained in recent years.
Last year, All Children's Hospital received $3-million in GME funds. Over the past five years, receipt of CHGME funding has enabled our hospital to strengthen its program without having to sacrifice its clinical or research missions.
In today's increasingly price competitive health care marketplace, fewer and fewer insurers pay the extra costs of teaching hospitals. Medicare is the only remaining, major payer of graduate medical education, spending about $8 billion annually. However, because they care for children, not the elderly, children's hospitals receive virtually no Medicare GME support – only about 1/200th of what other teaching hospitals receive on average.
In 1999, Congress recognized that the unintended exclusion of children's hospitals from Medicare GME support could put the hospitals and the nation's pediatric workforce at a risk. In response, it created CHGME to provide a level of federal GME support comparable to what Medicare provides to all teaching hospitals. Because of CHGME, children's hospitals in recent years have received about 80 percent of the level of federal GME support other teaching hospitals receive through Medicare.
All Children's Hospital is the only freestanding children's hospital on Florida's West Coast. It has consistently ranked among America's top 25 children's hospitals in comparative studies done by Child Magazine. The mission of this private, not-for-profit hospital is rooted in its beginnings as Florida's first Crippled Children's Hospital for polio victims. All Children's understands that it's not enough to treat disease -- that true progress comes from teaching and research to cure disease. All Children's shares its pediatric expertise through research & education affiliations with the University of South Florida (USF Health) as well as the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute.As a regional referral center for children with some of the most challenging medical problems, All Children's draws patients from throughout Florida, all 50 states and 36 foreign countries. Growing regional demand is such that construction is now underway on a new hospital and outpatient center to replace the current 40-year old facility. When this $300-million project opens its doors in early-2009, it will represent nearly a million square feet of space dedicated to state-of-the-art pediatric healthcare.

A little battered and bruised, Ohio Senate President Keith Faber can take solace today knowing what often matters the most is the final score, not so much how you got there.
On Wednesday, Faber announced the Senate will move a bill in the next few weeks to shut down approximately 800 Internet cafes, also known as sweepstake parlors. The decision by the Celina lawmaker is the mortal blow needed to end the unregulated gambling industry, which has been accused of preying on the poor and lining the pockets of organized crime.
The House, led by state Rep. Matt Huffman, has already passed its version of a similar bill. The two chambers are expected to have little trouble drafting the final legislation that will be handed to Gov. John Kasich for his signature. Meanwhile, a moratorium on new cafes, which was due to expire June 30, is being extended.
Getting to that point came with Faber�s squeaky clean reputation being rolled in the dirt. Some felt the Senate was slow in acting, and when it finally was announced, it came after embarrassing accusations of campaign contributions and cozy dinners � charges Faber said were unfair, although he admitted, were partly the result of situations he could have handled better.
When House Bill 7 arrived in the Senate in late March, along with it came a gaggle of powerful lobbyists determined to stop the legislation. They argued the issue needed further study. With the Senate being on Easter break, the bill didn�t get its first hearing until mid-April. That�s when a series of follies resulted in all hell breaking loose.
Sen. Dave Burke, R-Marysville, inexplicably announced after the hearing that the brakes were being put on the House bill, possibly even into next year, because senators needed more time to educate themselves on the cafes.
�I don�t know why he said that or if he was taken out of context,� Faber said Friday. �The majority of senators were clearly for a shutdown of some sort, and I, as president of the Senate, never made that decision or authorized such a statement.�
Then came the dinner. Faber had scheduled that same night a meeting at the exclusive Hyde Park restaurant. The people he would be unfolding a napkin with were the lobbyists supporting the Internet cafes. The dinner was set up six weeks earlier, he said, but now the timing was terrible with its appearance of conflict. Yet, Faber managed to make it worse.
He was alerted that Columbus Dispatch political columnist Joe Hallett had learned about the dinner and was there at the restaurant. Foolishly, Faber responded by moving the dinner to another location. The fact that the mere presence of a reporter could cause such fear of participants brought even more suspicion: Was this another case of lobbyists and lawmakers breaking bread together because someone needed something and another had something to give? It happens all the time in politics. In 2012 alone, a Dispatch analysis showed that legislators and their caucuses reaped more than $110,000 from cafe interests, who clearly knew how to spread the money around.
Keith Faber would have been wise to have politely excused himself from that dinner invitation. Instead, he pulled up a chair.
�I handled it badly,� Faber admitted. �I should have invited Joe to sit down with us. There was nothing to hide. I often have dinner with people from both sides of an issue. It�s a way to get information. Our discussions during this dinner actually became heated at times. Each party paid for their own dinners. This absolutely was not a fund-raiser.�
Knowing Keith Faber as we do, we have no reason to doubt his statement. His reputation of being squeaky clean isn�t by accident � he earned it over a long political career. Without a doubt, however, he handled the events surrounding the dinner poorly.
Hopefully the experience has reminded him about the perception of conflict. Being a former prosecutor, he should know all about that danger.

Whaling is the practice of hunting and killing whales, traditionally for meat, whale oil or baleen. Modern whaling uses electric harpoons and massive ships designed to kill and transport the animals. Many modern vessels even hold factories onboard that process whales into the desired end products.
Whaling has existed since prehistoric times; Neolithic cave paintings depict it, and archaeological evidence suggests beached whales were scavenged in the Stone Age. Basques were the earliest people to practice commercial whaling, becoming noted experts in the process. After World War I, whalers began using factory ships instead of shore stations for processing and adopted more effective hunting weaponry.
In 1946, the International Whaling Commission was established by several nations to govern the practice of whaling to save declining whale populations. Forty years later, the IWC enacted a moratorium on commercial whaling. While synthetic materials have rendered many whale products obsolete, Iceland, Japan and Norway exploit loopholes in the ban to continue operating commercial whaling industries. Collectively, they kill more than 2,000 whales annually and export whale products internationally. (Photo: wdeon/Shutterstock.com)
