MARK KEOHANE reports that Piri Weepu kicked 21 points against the Pumas as the All Blacks advanced to the World Cup semi-finals.
The All Black won 33-10 after leading 12-7 at halftime. They will play the Wallabies for a place in the final.
Wales and France will contest the other semi-final. Both play-off matches will be in Auckland.
The bookies had the All Blacks to win by 20 points and while the result was never an issue All Blacks coach Graham Henry would have expected more patience and precision from his side.
Weepu, starting at scrumhalf, also assumed the goalkicking as flyhalf Colin Slade stuttered through another 30 minutes of World Cup agony.
Slade was as poor as he has been in every Test and when he hobbled off after 33 minutes you could almost sense the relief of a nation. Slade may yet come of age as a Test flyhalf but it won't be at this World Cup. His replacement Aaron Cruden was an improvement and played with a calm and authority not seen from Slade.
The Pumas, courageous from the first minute, played to avoid humiliation. They offered nothing outside of bravery and referee Nigel Owens could easily have carded half the team for repeated infringements at the breakdown. Owens's leniency meant a decent play-off work out for the All Blacks and kept the Pumas crowd interested for an hour.
Argentina remarkably scored the first try, against the run of play, to lead 7-6 after 30 minutes but the scoreline never reflected the flow of the contest. The All Blacks were superior in every aspect. Twice they were denied a try by TMO decisions and more often than not Argentina opted to concede the three points instead of a potential seven.
The hosts were effective in disrupting the Argentina lineout, poaching five from 11, but they would have expected to create more with the ball and territorial advantage. The Pumas made 135 tackles to the All Blacks 54 so they at least won something on the night. They also had the more inspiring supporters and the prettiest.
But there was nothing beautiful about the way they played and it was a case of damage control. They did not want to be whipped and recognised (as did every observer) that they did not have the skill to turn on the kind of spectacle produced in Wellington when Wales played Ireland.
The All Blacks, when they did show patience and respect for holding onto the ball, looked dangerous, but often the attack was too lateral. Wingers Sonny Bill Williams and Cory Jane had their moments and so did the midfield pairing of Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith. The best of the backs was Weepu who has matured as a player and a leader. He showed on Saturday night that he does a bit more than lead the haka in this team.
Jerome Kaino was again impressive and Kieran Read improved with greater game time, but Richie McCaw played as if he only had one leg and the tight five as a unit were decent without ever being destructive.
Argentina is never an easy opponent and they will always offer a contest. But they lacked individual pedigree and collective belief to ever threaten the scoreboard and the All Blacks were predictable and deserved winners.

As England shifts politically, economically and socially, the moral code of the aristocratic Christopher Tietjens becomes increasingly dated within a changing, modern world.
A Time of Change
The Edwardian period is often portrayed romantically, especially when compared with the death and destruction of World War I. Though the British Empire was thriving, it was actually a tumultuous time for its people. Industrialization, plus the onset of World War I, created social and economic shifts that started to break down the rigid class system upward mobility was possible for the first time. Womens roles began to shift as they began working for the war effort and later won the right to vote.
Wealthy Victorians considered themselves the fathers of society, born to rule through divine right. They believed it was their duty to protect the lower classes, not the government, as Christopher explains to Mrs. Satterthwaite: It is the duty of the employers to look after the welfare of their employees and those that dont should go to prison. But with the changing times, the lower classes were becoming less dependent on their wealthy employers something that was an adjustment for both classes.
Victorian Values
Though living in the Edwardian present, Christopher is a relic of a bygone era, raised on his fathers Victorian values. Christopher believes strongly in dignity, history, and restraint concepts increasingly compromised by his calculating wife, growing love for a new, modern woman, and changing political landscape.
Christopher cannot fathom divorcing Sylvia despite her infidelity: Only a blackguard would submit his wife to that. Believing only knaves or men of low moral character would divorce their wives, hed much rather sacrifice his own happiness and potential future with Valentine out of propriety and respect to the vows he made. Of Tietjens sense of duty, actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays him, explains: Hes a man with a huge heart and empathy for those near to him&whether it be a wet nurse's, his son who may or may not be his son, his wife, his love of this new woman&he's a very generous, big hearted sentimental man.
Toryism Defined
Though the term now encompasses a variety of definitions, to be a Tory in Christophers Tietjens time meant that you supported the Crown and the established church. Tietjens Toryism extended to an unwavering sense of patriotism, even despite the countrys changing social and political landscape: I love every field and hedgerow. The land is England and once it was the foundation of order before money took over and handed the country over to the swindlers and schemers.
Christopher understands those swindlers and schemers all too well their plotting and fudging of facts for their own political aims is the reason he resigned from his statistician post. Christopher would rather risk life and limb at war than dignity at home. According to Stoppard, I think Christophers Toryism is a little extreme, even by standards of Victorian England. But on the other hand, hes someone whos out of step with his own society because society has started to let go of a code of honor.
But even for the loyal Tietjens, the First World War is enough to shake these foundations. According to director Susanna White, It takes the events of the war to blow apart the world that he stands for; to liberate him and realize the old code he upheld is gone now.

THE MALDIVES Game Fishing Association (MGFA) last week launched its new website www.mgfa.org.mv. Hosted by Dhiraagu, the new site will be warmly welcomed by the Maldives fishing and tourism industries, giving the opportunity for anglers and tourists, resorts and other operators a one-stop shop for information on
game fishing, sustainable fishing and the much-anticipated Maldives Game Fishing Challenge to be held from 9 to 12 November this year.
The site has been designed to grow with the Association, which while in its early days, is set to be a leading voice for sports fishing in the country. The timing of the new site's launch could not be better, with the MGFA now opening its membership for the first time. Anglers, resorts and operators can now join as full or associate members with a special, low membership fee on offer in 2011. The membership application form can also be found on the website www.mgfa.org.mv under the Association Membership tab.
Anglers can register their interest in competing in the Challenge online through the home page, and resorts and operators taking part will have their boats profiled through the competition pages. Important links to weather, MMPRC, international game fishing rules, the MGFA's constitution and more are already available through the site.
Other news will also be posted regularly, including an upcoming training program for boat crews competing in the November Challenge. With the event being a new fixture on the International Game Fishing Association (IGFA) calendar, local captains and crews will need to be conversant with IGFA rules. An essential training program to be conducted by the MGFA in conjunction with IGFA representatives, will take place 13 and 14 July in Male. More information can be obtained from the website www.mgfa.org.mv or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com

Comments about Go Pro Gopro HD HERO3 Silver Edition:
I first owned the original standard definition GoPro, that camera was good for action shots but (for obvious reasons) was lacking true video quality.
Then I received this as a gift. All I can really say is WOW. GoPro has made so many product improvements since they first started out.
This camera is much lighter and slimmer than the original or the Hero2. It also has wi-fi, which i believe is one of the best things about it. The camera connects easily to a smartphone app and allows for remove settings adjustments and remote recording. Another improvement is the computer connectivity, it has been made easier to find the camera's contents when it is plugged into any computer. As always with GoPro cameras, mounting options are essentially endless, handlebar and helmet mounts are my favorites. Image quality has been increased greatly with great color richness. Video and photo modes have also been expanded to include more time lapse options and faster bursts. Lastly, the "protune" mode has been included to provide for pro quality photo and video, and it seems to truly help with image quality.
My only major complaint, which applies to all GoPro cameras, is that with only two buttons, navigating menus on the small screen can be very difficult at times, especially when menus come two or three deep. The lack of playback is also annoying, but definitely not a deal breaker.
Overall this is a great camera and produces top of the line photo and video.

The sword trait is because the other tier 1 traits of that line don't appeal to me. I can easily swap for a trait giving phantasms fury or adding some effect to blocking.
The lack of tier 3 traits is because none of the tier 3 traits excite me. I might be missing something. I find there's lots of fun tier 1-2 traits, but all the tier 3 ones sound meh. A lot have to do with mantras (which I don't care for) or interrupting (which I don't want to rely on because I find it hard in GW2 to do it well, it was already difficulty in GW1 for me). There's some fun ones in inspirations or illusions.
I didn't realize I had two break-stun skills. Nice. I just love them because they give more clones (and sometimes, stealth is good to get out of trouble in WvW).
Comments about your build...
1) You've got a lot of minor traits! Not good or bad, just an observation. I try to get as many major traits as I can, not sure it's a good thing.
2) Phantasmal defender, I didn't find it very good. I used it for a while, but then switched to decoy instead. I find if you produce enough clones, you don't really need the extra life on illusions, or the extra defender, it gets redundant. imo of course.
3) Signet of illusions: interesting... how do you use it? Is it more for the passive, or the active? Or it depends on the situation?

I believe this young lady also deserves a thread here
I believe this young lady also deserves a thread here
Yes, I find myself rooting for this little cutie! She was fantastic today at TEB.
really, she was the least favourite Russian "wunderkind" for me.I always thought she was inferior to Adelina, Julia..Now I changed my opinion about her. I was almost in tears when she got 2nd. And to the end of her program I thought that I'd like Julia to falter in the free, because THIS girl is amazing and should have a chance to compete in gpf. She is so much better for me than last year..
Liza has amazing jumps, i like for it. Julia has ugly jumps.
She does indeed deserve a thread.
GS has done two interviews with her, and I'm going to post links here.
July 2012
Ausust 2010
She's been my favourite of the young Russians since the GP circuit last year. I thought she had a really fantastic intensity near the end of her program last night. Glad to see her jumps back and looking strong.
Liza in 2008 at Senior Russian Nationals
she was only 10 years old here
Last edited by sky_fly20; 11-19-2012 at 04:00 AM.
So I'll be posting a huge thing about my experience at TEB in the forum tomorrow, but I wanted to let you guys know that I ran into her outside the arena and got to talk to her for a bit. I asked her if she was going to do the Triple Axel either this season or next season and she mischievously said "I don't know".
Looking forward to reading your report
Liza is really underrated compares to the hype that goes around Adelina and the success of her other peers. Maybe being the first to have ventured on to the seniors among the Russian super babies, her faults however valid maybe were greatly exaggerated by the N.American observers (headed by Frank Carroll playing politics for Mirai?) - a little like how Julia is going through now, so her PCS has remained unchanged at her 2nd season despite the good stuff she were able to bring to the ice. Especially compare to the likes of Osmond, or even Adelina.
One just need to look at her marks, presented by Mrs. P on this thread to see the trend.
I do think she can do with better programs to showcase her musicality (which she has tons), she has good maturity in presentation among all the juniors. A good stylist and a smart COP choreographer who understand her skating should do it.
The choreograhers of her programs so far have been Lambiel, Dickson and Wilson, how much more CoP you can find? I just think she is still young and focuses on TES more now.
I still don't get this "musicality&interpretation&presentation" thing For me, Liza has it all now. In her fp she WAS musical..I think her ss need impovement though) But I really can't compare her with Osmond. The judges at Skate Canada want to make me dislike her, even though I have problems just with her placement..super high scores for a newbee((

...between us and a round at Otter Creek. When you go out there remember to wear some bug spray. Take the time to pick up a few sticks and throw them to the edges of the fairways. We removed litteral TONS of debris from the course but there are STILL smalls sticks riddled about each fairway. There are still a few piles remaining on #1 and #7 that we will removed at a later date. Hole #1 has the worst pile. The tee signs are coming soon also. Adam is taking the time to design these for us.
We had a great crew at Otter. If you see Brad, Butch, Troy, Larry, Mark, Eddie, Clint, Nick, Ed, Shawn, Randy, or any of the KY Fish & Wildlife guys...be sure to shake their hand and say "Thank You".

WILLIAMSON -It's not often that a standing room only crowd attends a Williamson City Council meeting, but Wednesday evening's meeting inside the Williamson City Hall was the exception, with every seat taken while others chose to stand.
The topic of concern for everyone who attended is the pending sell of the Williamson Memorial Hospital (WMH) to the Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH) system, which was announced to the public earlier this week. WMH is a for-profit facility while ARH is a non-profit system. If the hospital is indeed purchased by ARH, not only with the WMH hospital employees find themselves without a job, numerous Williamson city workers will be standing in the unemployment line along with them due to the substantial decrease of Business and Occupational (B&O) taxes that plays a big part of making up the revenue for the city budget.
Williamson Mayor Darrin McCormick opened the meeting and thanked each person for taking time out of their evening to join the unified battle to keep their hospital open to serve the needs of the public like it has done for many years in the past.
"Standing alone, we can't do a lot," stated McCormick. "But approaching this as a unified front with one objective and one voice - we will be heard."
From doctor's and nurses, to dietitians, maintenance workers, business office workers, pharmacists, x-ray techs and lab personnel, employees represented each and every department of WMH at the council meeting, proving that this is a great concern for employees as a whole.
WV House of Delegate member Justin Marcum was also in attendance, and told the crowd that he had been on the phone calling his constituents to rally their support.
"I have spoken with House Majority Leader Harry Keith White, Senator Art Kirkendoll and others to gather support for this cause and to inform them what is happening here in our town," stated Marcum. "Governor Tomblin is out of the country right now on a business trip but he has been told about the possible buy-out and I can assure you that he is not pleased. He is behind you 100 percent, the same as the rest of the state legislatures that represent this county."
Marcum stated that he had spoke with members of the top brass for ARH and was told that they intend to open a drug rehabilitation facility in the WMH building.
"Although I will be the first to tell you that we greatly need a facility such as this to fight the escalating drug problems in our communities, we don't need one at the expense of loosing the only hospital within the borders of Mingo County."
"A mutually acceptable solution needs to be reached that will work for all involved, including the current employees, the city and ARH."
"I don't want to rehash what I've already said during an interview with the Williamson Daily News, but I will tell you that the members of the Williamson City Council are your friends and we are with you in this fight," stated the mayor. "This isn't our first time down this road."
"I encourage each and every one of and others who weren't able to make it here this evening to travel to Charleston when the Health Care Authority meets to decide whether to grant ARH a certificate of need that must be approved and acquired prior to completion of the sale of WMH. Stand firm and let your concerns be known."
Several physicians in attendance spoke to the crowd, including Dr. Panwar, Dr. Vyas, Dr. Pajarillo and Dr. Beckett. Each of them spoke of the important role the hospital plays in the community and of the many services that are offered, including a heart-cath lab that are not performed elsewhere. They also talked about the fine employees at WMH, how the level of care they provide could not be equaled anywhere else.
"This is more than a hospital," stated Dr. Pajarillo, a pediatrician who has served the community for many years. "These people are my family, we are more than just co-workers."
While speaking with the employees who attended the meeting, one can quickly see the love they have for one another and the overwhelming sense of camaraderie and closeness they feel for the group as a whole.
Joann Cunningham, an employee of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at WMH addressed the crowd and spoke of how her fellow employees had rallied around her in times of need and said that you can't find that type of atmosphere at another facility.
A large amount of WMH's employees began their careers at the healthcare facility and have remained there for the duration. Longevity of their employees is and has always been a sense of pride at the hospital, which explains why the workers are such a close unit.
Dr. Beckett, a WMH physician, came home to Williamson to practice after graduating from medical school to serve the residents of the local area.
"It's not the building that makes it a hospital, its the people that work there that makes it such a great place," remarked Beckett. "We will fight this process until the end. I personally don't have anything against ARH but we feel this is not the best fit for us."
A second article concerning this topic and the council meeting will be featured in Sunday's edition of the Williamson Daily News.

Pfeiffer Mourns the Loss of Friend and Leader of the NCAA
September 17, 2009
MISENHEIMER, NC - After nearly a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer, Dr. Myles Brand, fourth president of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), passed away Wednesday, Sept. 16. He was 67.
Brand served as NCAA president since January 2003 and led the NCAA through key initiatives including academic reform, increased emphasis on presidential leadership and broad discussions on fiscal issues in college athletics.
Pfeiffer President Dr. Chuck Ambrose was elected by his peers to serve two consecutive terms as chair of the Division II Presidents Council. He, Brand and others were instrumental in the rebranding and development of the strategic positioning I Chose Division II, which cleverly highlighted the benefits of the mid-division. That effort generated an overwhelmingly positive response and helped to resolve the feelings of the middle-child syndrome from those affiliated with Division II institutions. Despite the end of his second term as chair in 2008, Ambrose has remained active with NCAA and subsequently its administrators, including Brand.
Ambrose said the death of the NCAA chief is a tremendous loss for intercollegiate athletics.
He was a true friend to Pfeiffer and to Division II, Ambrose said. We are grateful that he is counted as a Pfeiffer University honorary degree recipient. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Brand was awarded an honorary degree from Pfeiffer following his keynote address during the universitys 2008 commencement ceremony. In his speech, Brand shared with those graduates the importance of making a moral difference and challenged them to work toward becoming citizens of the world. It was a motivational speech that Blake Martin, a Pfeiffer alumnus from Albemarle, who was among that graduating class, will never forget.
His words were so simple, yet profound, Martin recalls. He prompted us to really contemplate our lives and challenged us to consider how we could make a difference in the world. It was inspiring, especially coming from such a prominent figure like Myles Brand.
Termed by some the education president, Brand has presided over passage of the most comprehensive academic reform package for intercollegiate athletics in recent history a package that refocuses the attention of student-athletes, coaches and administrators on the education of student-athletes. Brand has also changed the national dialog on college sports to emphasize the educational value of athletics participation and the integration of intercollegiate athletics with the academic mission of higher education. His tenure has helped reestablish the indispensable role of university presidents in the governance of college sports.
Brand was himself president of two major universities. He served for eight years at Indiana University, an eight-cam¬pus institution of higher education with nearly 100,000 students, 17,000 employees and a budget of $3.4 billion. He spent five years as president at the University of Oregon. Brand earned a bachelors degree from Rensselaer Polytech¬nic Institute in Troy, N.Y., and his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester in 1967.

The story of an Ohio teenager who passed out drunk at a party and was sexually assaulted by two high school football players has captivated America because much of it is familiar. In urban, suburban and rural settings, the combination of teenage hormones and alcohol, often accompanied by other drugs, too often leads to unwanted sex.
So it happens everywhere, except the Ohio incident has some troubling differences that state volumes about our culture today.
In many cases, a victim with no or even vague recollection and evidence of what occurred remains silent — all the while enduring mostly whispered remarks, including the bragging of her assailants, about an incident she cannot remember.
Such violations have happened for years, but in this digital age, the bragging can be more immediate, and it can include photographs and videos, all disseminated via text messages and social media.
That's shameful, but, ironically, the Internet and cellphone communication have the benefit of creating evidence that prosecutors can use. So it was with the Steubenville, Ohio, case, which ended Sunday with the rape convictions of the two high school students.
Trent Mays, 17, the star quarterback for the Steubenville High Big Red, was sentenced to at least a year in detention for rape and another year for distributing nude photos of a minor. Ma'lik Richmond, 16, a wide receiver, received a year for rape. Both could be ordered jailed until the age of 21 if they violate the terms of their probation.
The crime occurred on Aug. 12, during a wild night of parties in which Mays and Richmond repeatedly took advantage of a teen from nearby Weirton, W.Va., who was so inebriated that they called her "the dead girl" in text messages. Others chronicled the evening in texts, photos, and videos.
The 16-year-old girl recalls only waking up naked the next day in a basement room of a strange house with Mays, Richmond, and another boy. Mays told her he had taken care of her, but she later saw the photos and video. "It's on YouTube," she told Mays in a text. "I'm not stupid."
Prosecutors said they reviewed 396,270 text messages, 308,586 photos, and 940 video clips. The case divided Steubenville into those who sympathized with the victim, and those who supported two boys who were part of one of the proudest institutions left in the down-on-its-luck former steel town — a high school football team that has won nine state championships.
This cautionary tale of young athletes on too high a pedestal may not be over. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine plans to convene a grand jury to determine whether to prosecute others who knew about the crime but didn't report it. That may include the boys' coach, Reno Saccoccia.
Some teenagers said they didn't realize they were watching a rape because it didn't seem violent. Their comments suggest a critical lesson young people need to be taught before they find themselves in a situation where someone unable to speak for herself is treated so horribly.

A recent return to a full-time working week, has reminded me that I'm extraordinarily bad at finding balance. You could say that I'm always swinging perilously close to one extreme or another.
"I either feel 100% in control or not at all, and while an all or nothing approach can work in some circumstances, I just don't think it suits a writing lifestyle."
I get frustrated when I'm not able to dedicate as much time as I'd like to my writing, and perhaps that feeling is intensified right now because up until recently my weeks were ALL about the writing.
The main trouble with getting frustrated at my lack of writing time, is that I often don't make the best use of what time I actually do have available. I tend to get caught within a frustration bubble, where I'm always wanting more and not just making do. I'm trusting that as I settle into a new work routine, that I'll eventually accept and adopt a more flexible writing rhythm that squeezes itself into the space between my other commitments.
For now though, I'm doing my best to just go with the flow and stay positive. Every day I try to do at least one thing that will progress my writing – whether that's to start a story, write a blog post, send off a pitch, book in for a course, clean up my portfolio, or join a writing community – whatever it is, big or small, it makes me feel that I'm at least achieving something.
I'm reminded of Henry Miller's 11 Commandments of Writing & Daily Creative Routine, all of which are great but one in particular has been of real help:
"When you can't create, you can work."
Word up, Mr Miller. Incidentally, if you're not already a regular reader of 'Brain Pickings', you really should be. However be warned…you'll probably end up adding lots and lots of books to your already lengthy wishlist (I know I have).
So until some sort of manageable balance miraculously appears in my life, I'll be applying the simple philosophy of 'doing something is better than doing nothing'. Unless you have any tips for walking the tightrope of life without losing your balance? All I can say is, thank goodness for safety nets.

- The Food and Drug Administration says it cannot afford to implement a new food-safety law. Reuters reports the agency is struggling to comply with the Food Safety Modernization Act. Congress passed it two years ago. Now Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said the FDA will issue new regulations "very soon." The law directs the agency to establish science-based safety standards for fruits and vegetables and imported food, among other things. Hamburg said it was a "broadly expansive" mandate. Speaking at a Washington conference, she called on industry to help finance the law. (Reuters)
- A company owned by Chinese citizens has added President Barack Obama as a defendant in a lawsuit. The suit already named Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner as a defendant. Ralls Corporation claims the government exceeded its authority when it blocked the company's wind farm projects in Oregon. The windmills were to be located next to a Navy base. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States cited national security concerns in banning them. It also ordered Ralls to sell off the land it was going to use for the wind farm. The last time the government denied a foreign investment was during the George H. W. Bush administration 22 years ago. (Federal News Radio)
- A Senate report has slammed Homeland Security fusion centers as wasteful and ineffective. The two-year, bipartisan investigation finds the fusion centers often gather information on innocent Americans. The report says the nation's 77 fusion centers don't produce much usable intelligence. And it scores the Homeland Security Department for buying expensive gadgets ranging from shirt button cameras to SUVs used mainly for staff commuting. The fusion centers were launched after 9/11. They try to bring together federal, state and local law enforcement officials to share information. Homeland Security officials disagreed with the Senate report. (Federal News Radio)
- The Veterans Affairs Department is moving ahead on a project to operate 100,000 smartphones and tablet computers. It has awarded a $4.2 million contract to Longview International Technology of Rockville, Md. The company will build a secure environment to track and manage the devices. That includes an online app store where VA employees can go to get the software they need. VA will also get a safe place to develop and test mobile applications. Longview is a service-disabled, veteran-owned company. It will partner with Agilex Technologies on the project. (Federal News Radio)
- The Justice Department has gone real estate shopping and found a new home. It sleeps 1,600 people — prisoners, that is. Attorney General Eric Holder told lawmakers he will proceed with a $165 million acquisition of a prison in Illinois. He said the department just needs more space for regular federal inmates. Anticipating Republican opposition, Holder said the facility won't be used to transfer inmates from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Republicans called the move political, since the money is going to the home state of President Obama. The Wall Street Journal reported the administration has wanted to acquire the property since 2009. Most of the money will come from Justice's assets forfeiture fund. (The Wall Street Journal)
- Republican lawmakers want to know why the U.S. consulate in Libya did not have tighter security. The House Oversight Committee has called a hearing for next week. In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, they said embassy staff repeatedly asked for more resources, but the requests fell on deaf ears in Washington. The committee has not confirmed witnesses but said it was aiming for a hearing a week from today. Four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in the attack last month. (Federal News Radio)
- The Department of Homeland Security is flying flags at half staff to remember Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Ivie. The 30-year-old guard was killed yesterday while on patrol in Arizona. It was the first fatal shooting of an agent since Brian Terry died in a shootout with Mexican bandits. That killing led Congress to look into a botched gun-tracking program. Critics of "Operation Fast and Furious" said any time there is a shooting along the border now, it raises questions about the weapons used. Investigators have not said whether they've recovered guns or bullet casings at the scene of yesterday's shooting. A second agent who was wounded by the gunfire has not been identified.

Havelock High football coach Jim Bob Bryant had a problem, one of the few he's had guiding the Rams to back-to-back state championships.
He planned to show a highlight video of the 2012 season during Havelock's Night of Champions Ring Ceremony Wednesday night at the school.
"When you score close to 50 points a game and you give up eight points a game, there's a lot of highlights," he told the crowd gathered for Wednesday's ceremony.
Instead, he condensed a 35-minute video package down to about 10, with those attending reacting with oohs to the big defensive hits and wows for each dazzling touchdown run. The final highlights were of Havelock's 55-21 victory over Concord on Dec. 1 as the Rams captured the 3A state championship at Wake Forest's BB&T Stadium in Winston-Salem.
"I look back at it a lot, probably every day," senior lineman Kendal Vickers said of the 15-1 title season. "It's been fun playing with all these guys. When you look back at it, it feels good. I kind of want one more time to play with all of them again."
During the ceremony, Havelock varsity players received their championship rings, which were paid for through donations from the public and the sale of state championship shirts and sweatshirts. For some of the players, it was their second ring after the 2011 football team went 16-0 and beat West Rowan 38-6 for the state 3A title.
"These guys the last two years did something that's tough to do in the state," Bryant said. "Not only is it tough to win a state championship, but it's very tough to go back-to-back and win two."
Senior quarterback and safety Pharoh Cooper, the most valuable player of the state championship game, said the one thing he would take from the season was how the players came together after a 34-33 loss to New Bern in the second week of the season.
"We had faith after that New Bern game," Cooper said. "Coach (Bryant) always talked to us about playing with confidence, having faith in the Lord, trusting your teammates and doing your job. Everything just came together and we played with that winning mentality."
Team captains Cooper, Vickers, Harry Caldwell and Derrell Scott each had a chance to speak during the ceremony.
"Ever since freshman year when we started on JV together, it's been a fun ride," Vickers said. "I never thought we were going to be this good."
Scott thanked the fans who came out to all the games.
"You gave us a great home crowd to play in front of," he said. "You really make the games for us, having a great crowd and knowing that we were going to have the momentum. I really appreciate that."
Caldwell held up his new ring to the crowd.
"Do you all see that," he asked, drawing cheers. "It's been a fun four years. Everybody out there is like a brother."
Assistant coach Caleb King took the microphone and asked the players to look at their rings and remember a phrase he told them often in practices and during games – to do their jobs.
"Look at your ring," he told them. "You did your jobs."
Not only was the varsity's season celebrated, but also that of the junior varsity, which went 10-0 for the second straight season.
"It's very tough to have two undefeated JV seasons," Bryant said. "A lot of teams raid their JV to have sophomores fill out the varsity, but our JV coaching staff did a great job getting our JV players ready game in and game out, so the way it looks right now, our future is very bright with our football program at Havelock High School."
Along with trophies and rings, the junior varsity and returning Rams also received something else: a spring and summer workout schedule.
That was just fine with Scott, who already has his eye on a third championship ring.
"I'm coming back next year, so you know we're going to get this third one," Scott said to the applause of the crowd.
After thanking all those who support the players and program, Bryant had the final words of the night.
"Before we adjourn," he told the crowd, "I just want to let you know that we'll be back here same time, same place next year getting our third ring."

For two area lifeguards, the minute and a half spent resuscitating a drowning toddler were the longest of moments.
Those lagging moments subsided, however, when the girl rolled over, coughed and started screaming.
Lifeguards Sarah Dodson and Clarissa McAllister were presented Certificates of Commendations and the American Red Cross Life Saving Team Award for Professional Responders on Thursday aboard
On that summer day, Dodson and McAllister noticed Lucy Kernen drowning in the Bicentennial Community Center Pool aboard
"It feels good (to be recognized) but it's not necessary," said Dodson, 22 of
Neither one of the lifeguards knew that they were being put in for an award for "doing their job," they said. Both are employees of Atlantic Marine Corps Communities, one of the housing contractors aboard
"Seeing (Lucy) with her family, healthy and smiling, I can't help but be happy," Dodson said. "I can't help but feel good knowing that I helped make that happen."
During the compressions, McAllister said she remembers praying that the little girl would be OK and that she was doing everything just as she was trained.
"It was a calm day and then all of a sudden we had 80 people in the pool," said McAllister, 24, of
Both Dodson and McAllister said they never imagined they would have to use their training. The real reward, they said, is seeing Lucy doing well.
"We couldn't be more thankful," said Lucy's mother Theresa Kernen, 36, of
Lucy's father was deployed in
"We were very fortunate to have an opportunity to use the phones," said Alan Kernen, who was deployed with VMM-264 during the incident. "I'm just glad she is safe and healthy and here with us."
Lucy still frequents the pool and has lots of fun, her parents said.
"It's important that she knows it's not a scary place," said Alan Kernen. "But we have talked a lot about water safety this summer."

As expected A&E has cancelled The Glades after four seasons on the air. There won't be a fifth season or wedding for Jim (Matt Passmore) and Callie (Kiele Sanchez).
The dramedy began in July 2010 and it became their first scripted series to last more than a season. The cancellation comes days after The Glades' fourth season finale attracted 3.41 million viewers. This was the show's most-watched episode since the series premiere which drew 3.55 million.
Unfortunately, the fourth season as a whole was down by 14% year-to-year and The Glades was the cable channel's lowest-rated scripted series. It didn't help that the show was also produced by Fox, an outside studio, so A&E didn't have a financial stake in the show's future.
Of course, the real losers are the fans. The fourth season ended on a cliffhanger with Jim being shot in the chest by an unknown assailant. Hopefully the producers will find a way to give faithful viewers an idea of what might have happened in season five.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that The Glades has been cancelled? How would you have resolved the cliffhanger? Should Jim and Callie be together?

COMPTOIR SUD PACIFIQUE VANILLE EXTREME is a very intense vanilla fragrance -- but with a surprising twist: it has a very flowery, exotic scent that unfolds with your body chemistry and smells different on each person. When I wore it, I was surprised at others' reactions. It made me smell yummy as well as gorgeous. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE.
Written by Valentina on September 05, 2014Read Review details ►
I've always been a fan of Comptoir Sud Pacifique, and I'm so glad I gave vanille extreme a try. It smells absolutely delicious! It's a true vanilla scent, very warm and inviting. It reminds me of Victoria's Secret Vanille Caramel that was discontinued in the 90s, and I've been looking for a replacement ever since. This is the one! My husband really likes it, too. It's not a kid-type scent, it's a comforting, full-bodied vanilla that smells kind of exotic. I wear it often and enjoy it very much!

I hope my review stands out among all the others I read before buying this product. I read nothing but good reviews on how its amazing! ...I will say that it is very nice for some people but it smells a little fake to me and I bought it for my mom who cant wear anything strong I thought it would be a yummy baking vanilla scent, it is more of a perfumey vanilla and it is to strong for her...So I will say it does smell good but a little on the strong side for me.

THE BEST EVA!!! women want me, men want me NO JOKE!!! crazy good!! please keep it in stock for eva!
Written by Erika on December 23, 2011Read Review details ►
Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Extreme is the best fragrance I have ever come across. I'm very sensitive to smell so this is perfect as you can smell it but it doesn't overpower. I get so many compliments when people smell this on me. The only drawback is that it needs to be applied again during the day as it does wear off. Otherwise, PERFECTION! If you love vanilla, this is the best way to go

Walk increases awareness about Parkinson's Disease
(NewsUSA) - April has been declared Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month for the third year in a row. Around the world, Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and those touched by the disease gather together in their local communities to raise awareness by spreading the word about PD and educating people about the symptoms, treatments and facts.
One of the biggest events during the month is the Parkinson's Unity Walk (PUW) in New York's Central Park. On Saturday, April 28, thousands of PD supporters will gather in the world-famous park to help raise funds for PD research. Walkers will also have the opportunity to visit a variety of supporter booths where they can pick up educational resources about managing and coping with their disease. This year, PUW participants will have the chance to walk the "red carpet" at the Teva booth. Teva is committed to supporting the "stars" of the PD community: patients and their care partners. Booth visitors will have the opportunity to give a red carpet interview and have their photo taken by a professional.
"I cannot underscore how important and rewarding it has been for me to be involved in community action like the PUW," says PD "Star" Israel Robledo, who has been living with PD for 5 years. "Having a strong support system, an invested healthcare team and an effective medication regimen has allowed me to continue doing some of the things I love to do despite my diagnosis."
PD inhibits motor skill function and cognitive ability. While there is no cure for PD, there are many options to treat symptoms of the disease. Movement and coordination in the body are controlled by a chemical in the brain called dopamine. In PD, dopamine levels are reduced, affecting a person's ability to control movement. Most medications for PD treat dopamine deficiency by either helping to replace dopamine, preventing its breakdown or mimicking its effects.

Men's Volleyball Can't Overcome Mistakes in 3-0 Loss to Mount Olive
February 18, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Mount Olive College hit .337 as a team on Thursday night cruising to a 3-0 (30-19, 30-20, 30-21) victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas mens volleyball action inside the Merner Gym. With both wins coming against the Falcons, Mount Olive improves to 2-0 on the young year, 2-0 inside league play. Pfeiffer, committing 45 total errors on the night, falls to 4-4, 1-2.
Mount Olive came out early in set one with a 12-2 run, thanks to a pair of Noel Garcia (Hubana, CUBA) kills and a half-dozen Falcon miscues. Pfeiffer got to within six at 16-10 on an Evan Fullerton (Ambridge, PA) ace before a Christaan Rombaut (Halifax, NOVA SCOTIA) kill started a six-point in seven-play stretch to close out set one.
A Camilo Guerci (Miami, FL) kill put Mount Olive 8-4 up early in set two before Adam Miracle (Cincinnati, OH) slammed down a kill at 18-10. After a Falcon timeout, Jerry Olmeda (Rochester, NY) would secure a kill to get the hosts within eight, but Pfeiffer committed six more errors in 15 plays allowing the Trojans to take a 2-0 match lead.
The Falcons came out in the third set and made things close early on, but again, miscues would come back to haunt the home team in the end. Garcia continued with back-to-back kills halfway through the final stanza, finishing with a match-high 14. From a Mount Olive 12-8 lead on, the Trojans would continue to hit well, take advantage of Pfeiffer mistakes and put points on the board two-to-one against the Falcons to earn the sweep.
Mount Olive hit .308, .357 and .342 in each set to stay unbeaten. Behind Garcias 14 kills, Rombaut finished one behind with 13. Reigning conference player of the week Alex Hoekstra (Middletown, OH) had a match-high 38 assists for the Trojans. For Pfeiffer, Clancy Gay (Cincinnati, OH) had nine kills to lead the Falcons.


text: 2.80 x 63mm Plain Ring Shank 33° Nails & Fuel (2200) Item code: BOS28R63FC Weight: Ex PRF: PT28R63FC Brand: Bostitch €70.16( €57.04 excl. tax) Quantity Sorry, you have entered an invalid value ! Product Description PT Series Ring Shank Clipped Head 33° Nails & Fuel.Profile: RingRing shank nails have a series of rings punched into the surface of the shank. A difference in the diameter of the shank is produced making it even more difficult to withdraw the nail. Ring shank nails have to be produced at lower speeds and their cost is generally higher than for a smooth shank nail. The air consumption per nail is also higher, and the energy required to drive these nails into hard wood is very much greater.Finish: PlainPlain finish is without any form of protection and is the most economical choice, but the nails will start to rust before nails that have a protective treatment. Used in applications where no protection is required, for example a one way disposal pallet. Finish: GalvanisedGalvanised Nails. Galvanising, or coating with Zinc, is the best way to prevent nails from corroding. The zinc does not protect the steel of the nail, but is corroded first. The thicker the zinc coating, the longer it will be before the nail is attacked. The thickest coating is called hot dipped and is applied by dipping the nails into a bath of molten zinc.Finish: Stainless SteelStainless Steel nails are used when other finishes are not sufficient and need the maximum protection we can offer. For example: stainless steel nails are ideal motorway fencing where a fasteners life is very important or in applications which are exposed to salt water. Paper Tape Collated Stick Nails, this type of collation is ideal in construction environments where work can be kept free of collation debris. Paper tape nails traditionally have a clipped head to allow the shanks of the nails to touch each other when they are collated. In this way it is possible to fit more nails on a stick.Weight:0.00 KGBostitchStanley-Bostitch manufactures top-quality, innovative fastening tools and fasteners for industrial, construction and home improvement applications. Products include pneumatic staplers and nailers, compressors, manually operated staplers and tackers, coil-fed screw systems, rivet tools, glue guns, a broad assortment of collated nails, screws, staples and specialty fasteners in a variety of materials and finishes, plus office products and carton-closing staplers - many of them industry firsts.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Just what we wanted
We love our invites! Love, love, love them. Just what we needed. And people have given us lots of compliments. They are on trend, and lovely. So pleased with both the invites and the service at magnet street. We were also really happy with our Save the Date postcards which featured our picture and just looked very professional. Again, tons of compliments. There are no Save the Dates in Chic Chevron style -- which is odd, and perhaps I'm mistaken. The design we used complimented our invites perfectly though.
Perfect gift tags!
I love these gift tags! They go with our wedding perfectly! I love that Magnet Street gives you the option of changing all of the colors in their designs, it truly personalizes them. I would definitely recommend this company to other people. I keep looking for other things I can order to use their design, I plan on buying matching Thank you cards! The product looks just like the preview, you will not be disappointed!
Very Pleased
After researching many other sites for save the date magnets, I found Magnet Street to have the best selection a fun, non-photo save the date. We are very happy with the chevron/flower combo in this design - it's style is what I would call 'classic with a twist' which is what we were going for. Being able to customize the colors gave us a final product that looks just how we wanted it to: fun, whimsical, and totally 'us'. The colors look exactly how I expected them to, and the font is easy to read even in the 'mini magnet' size. The packaging it was shipped in was also very nice, and I liked that they sent me an invitation sample book as well. Thanks!
Quality, Affordable Save-the-Date
I designed a couple save the date magnets and had "just one" delivered to my house. This was fast and great to see the magnets in color although they were very true to what I saw online, which was great! My fiance and I went ahead and order our favorite magnet to send out. The came to my doorstep in about a week... they look awesome! They came in a great package with information for ordering invitations! I am very happy!!!!
Great quality, some trouble with custom colors
Really liked the invitations, especially the pearlized style. They even sent a few extra invites which was nice. My only compliant was that I had some headaches and run around trying to get my customized color to show up in the proof, it never actually came out as the exact color that I had customized even after several emails with the reviewer and a phone call.
