"They are probably the most improved team from last year," said Arlington head coach Dan Eng on seeing Lake Stevens for the first time this season. "In the middle of their order they have a lot of power. They're hitting balls all the way to the fence and to the warning track."
Lynsey Amundson led the way for the Eagles, hitting a double and driving in a run in the loss.

Mercyhurst College and the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) today announced a partnership that will create new educational and health care opportunities for both institutions while fostering their collaboration on a variety of research projects. This agreement brings LECOM physicians to the Mercyhurst campus to provide clinical care for all students, team physicians for the 'Hurst athletic department, and medical education and clinical experiences for students in Mercyhurst's Department of Sportsmedicine.
LECOM and Mercyhurst officials offered details of the three-part agreement during a press conference on Wednesday, Sept. 23, at the John M. & Silvia Ferretti Medical Fitness and Wellness Center at W. 54th and Peach Streets.
|Mercyhurst President Thomas Gamble, PhD & LECOM President John M. Ferretti, DO shake on the health and sports medicine agreement between the two schools.
Effective immediately, LECOM physicians will deliver medical education and clinical experiences for sports medicine students, specifically teaching a course called "Medical Education Laboratory II" and serving as guest lecturers throughout the academic year.
"With the challenges of health care that we now face, it's important to bring medical education to a broader group of students than just those at LECOM," said President John M. Ferretti, D.O. "The first goal of the osteopathic philosophy is preventive medicine through healthy lifestyles, and we see these young sports medicine students at Mercyhurst being able to address those challenges. By working alongside our physicians and fitness trainers, these students should learn how to bring the message of fitness and wellness to the young athletes and non-athletes that they will train."
"We envision this new alliance as two local institutions pursuing areas of mutual interest to our collective benefit and that of our respective constituencies," said Mercyhurst College President Dr. Thomas J. Gamble. "We look forward to a fruitful and productive relationship that will result in long-term synergy and strategic planning between our two institutions."
As part of the agreement, athletic training majors, pre-physical therapy students
|LECOM Sports Medicine director Patrick Leary, DO joins Mercyhurst Sportsmedicine students to learn more about the agreement.
as well as pre-med and health-fitness promotion students will observe and shadow health specialists at the LECOM Wellness Center and its affiliated Millcreek Community Hospital.
"Adding this very large wellness and medical facility into the total clinical experience that we offer our sports medicine students provides an even greater opportunity for them to observe and learn from allied health care professionals," said Mercyhurst Sportsmedicine department chair Bradley Jacobson. "We are very excited about the possibilities, especially joint research ventures and regional sports medicine symposiums."
The possibilities, Gamble said, also include a proposed new graduate program in sports medicine, which would take the college's complement of master's degree programs to seven.
"A central piece of that proposal involves research and the availability of graduate assistantships and that is where we believe our new partnership with LECOM will be particularly advantageous," Gamble said.
Meanwhile, under the new partnership, LECOM, through Medical Associates of Erie, will provide physician services for the college's Cohen Student Health Center. The college will continue to operate the facility and maintain its current staff of nurses and office personnel, but Mercyhurst students will benefit from increased on-site visits by LECOM doctors.
"Our osteopathic physicians will deliver high quality total health care for all Mercyhurst students at the Cohen Health Center," stated Dr. Ferretti. "We can encourage student patients to be more aware of their health and how to prevent disease, leading to longer and healthier lives."
Physicians' assistants and nurse practitioners will be available on an as-needed basis. Students requiring care beyond what the infirmary can handle will be referred to Medical Associates of Erie, which is part of the LECOM system.
Finally, the LECOM sports medicine physicians will become the medical care provider for Mercyhurst athletes, delivering a multitude of services, including team physicals, physician coverage at athletic contests, rehabilitation services at LECOM's Wellness Center and oversight of protocols in Mercyhurst's athletic training rooms.

With the passage of the measure, Muslims in the state are now planning for action against the measure in court. According to reports, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Oklahoma stated that a member of the state Islamic community will file the lawsuit, which will claim that the measure is unconstitutional. Muneer Awad, executive director of the group, stated that the measure is deceptive and misleads people into believing that there is a threat from Islam in the country. The lawsuit, according to Awad, will be filed in federal court by as early as November 4, 2010.[3]

Constitutional changes
If approved by voters, the measure would amend Section 1, Article 7 of the Oklahoma Constitution.[5]
Sharia Law
The following are certain points in Sharia Law:[6]
- Sharia Law is described as "a religious code for living, in the same way that the Bible offers a moral system for Christians."
- Sharia Law cites "Haram" offenses that carry punishments for those who commit them.
- Offenses include pre-marital sex, adulter, alcohol intake, theft, robbery, etc.
- Sharia Law has been adopted across various countries.
- Sharia Law is intended to be applied to only Muslims.
- Representative Rex Duncan was the chief author of the bill, and stated that Sharia law was a "cancer" in the United Kingdom because those courts enforced shariah. Duncan stated, "SQ 755 will constitute a pre-emptive strike against Shariah law coming to Oklahoma." Duncan also added, "While Oklahoma is still able to defend itself against this sort of hideous invasion, we should do so."[2]
- Representative Lewis Moore co-authored the bill and commented on Sharia law and how it shouldn't be used in court rulings: "I don't think we should accept or encourage Sharia law in any way, shape or form."[2]
- Senator Anthony Sykes co-authored the bill and is on the record as saying, "Shariah law coming to the U.S. is a scary concept. Hopefully the passage of this constitutional amendment will prevent it in Oklahoma."
- A campaign called Act! For America, has begun what reports call a "media blitz" in the state of Oklahoma. The campaign includes a radio ad that began airing on October 18, 2010 and opinion articles in state newspapers. Brigitte Gabriel, CEO of the campaign, stated, "We want to make sure that the people in Oklahoma are educated about what Shariah law is all about and its ramifications. We're not taking any chances with this initiative passing marginally. We hope it passes with great victory."[2]
- An opinion column written by Brigitte Gabriel, international terrorism analyst and president of ACT! for America.org, and Lauren Losawyer of ACT!, argued, "Sharia law, in short, is a comprehensive, theo-political law system used in many Islamic countries including Iran that is based on precepts contained in the Quran and the hadith (the sayings and traditions of Mohammed). Under sharia law, women have few rights compared to men, freedom of speech is severely curtailed and freedom of religion is limited or nonexistent."[7]
- John Swails, who is the director of the Center for Israel and Middle East Studies at Oral Roberts University, stated the law is "pretty well solidified", however it is different from separate Islamic nations. Swails is for the measure, because "They'll tell you it provides religious freedom, but that's true only if you're a Muslim." Swails also stated that he sees that the law's supporters are beginning a campaign to have the U.S. embrace Sharia.[8]
- Representative Cory Williams stated, "If I was a Muslim Oklahoman, I would be offended by my religion being singled out. Some people buy into the whole butterfly theory that if a judge in Europe flaps his wings and adopted Sharia law then it will come to Oklahoma. I, on the other hand, do not."
- Saad Mohammed, director of Islamic information for the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, opposes the measure. Mohammed stated that Sharia Law coincides with about 80% of the United States Constitution. This, according to Mohammed, reflects justice and equality for all and that extremists use Sharia in a distorted way. Mohammed claimed, "Sharia is more of a protection than something used to oppress."[2]
- Razi Hashmi, executive director of CAIR-Oklahoma, said there are more pressing issues in the state that need more attention from lawmakers instead of this issue. Hashmi countered claims by Rex Duncan that the CAIR wants Sharia Law in the the state and nation. Hashmi claimed, "That's absolutely absurd. I don't know anybody who wants Sharia here. Where is he getting that?"[2][9]
- Spokeswoman for the Islamic Society of Tulsa Sandra Rana said that the question is a "non-issue". According to Rana, "I don't know why anyone feels we should spend valuable time and resources on this. There are so many other important issues that need to be addressed."[8]
- According to Orvil Harris, who participates actively in the Islamic Society of Ada, "I don't think there needs to be something like this now. I'm interested in what is going on in this country, and I don't want to do anything to make Islam objectionable."[10]
- Jari Askins, gubernatorial candidate, is against the measure, stating, "The last time I looked at my old notes from law school, most of America's jurisprudence system was based on England and jurisprudence there, so I think we need to be, really, smarter, about how we phrase some of these things."[11]
- Resident Mohamed Boudhhir argued that the measure sends a message of hatred and that people who are not Muslims shouldn't be concerned with Sharia Law. Boudhhir stated, "As long as it doesn't affect you in any way, why should you be concerned how I solve a problem between me and my brother, or neighbor who is Muslim. I do not think it should be a matter of concern for a non-Muslim."[12]
- According to Muneer Awad, another executive director of CAIR stated, "We take a stand in opposition to the proposed amendment. It's ridiculous that anyone would suggest it would happen. Our Constitution would not allow any religious law to supersede the existing laws."[2]
Media endorsements
- The Tulsa Beacon made recommendations for all the state questions on the ballot, and recommended a 'yes' vote on the measure.[13]
- The Oklahoman recommended a 'no' vote on the measure, stating, "As it is, judges exclusively use state and federal law to guide their judicial decision-making. Passing the question might make some politicians happy and make some Oklahomans feel better. That's all it would do. Voters should reject it as unnecessary."[14]
- The Enid News and Eagle recommended a 'no' vote on the measure, stating, "This measure would prohibit the use of international or Sharia law when cases are decided in Oklahoma courts. There is no need for this law because judges exclusively use state and federal law to guide their decisions. This is meant as nothing more than a feel-good measure."[15]
- The Tulsa World is against the measure, recommending a 'no' vote: "SQ 755 would prohibit state judges from using international law, and specifically Shariah law, in making their decisions. The proposal is bigoted and seeks to solve a nonexistent problem. It should be rejected."[16]
- The Oklahoma Daily is against the measure, stating, "We say: NO. Oklahoma couldn't miss out on the Islamophobia in America. If passed, SQ 755 would outlaw the use of Sharia Law in state courts. The idea that these courts use or could use Sharia is ridiculous, and the measure implies Oklahoma's Muslims are all extremists trying to subvert U.S. laws. Let's not marginalize the state's Muslim population."[17]
- See also: Polls, 2010 ballot measures
- In a poll conducted by SoonerPoll.com, 49 percent of voters polled stated that they were for the measure. The poll surveyed likely registered voters in the state, which included 385 Democrats, 340 Republicans and 31 independents. The margin of error was reported to be 3.57 percentage points and was commissioned by the Tulsa World.[18]
- In one of the last polls taken by SoonerPoll before the general election, the results showed support of the measure by those surveyed. The poll included 384 Democrats, 345 Republicans and 24 independents.[19]

Just PERFECT
This card was exactly how I wanted it. It is so us. I received so many compliments on them! I plan on getting Thank You Cards as well now!!
Beautiful, fun magnets
My fiance and I went with this design because we wanted to incorporate pictures from our travels into our save the dates, and loved the "photo reel" look of these magnets. I looked at a lot of different companies for our save the dates and went with MagnetStreet for a few reasons: 1) the ability to customize the magnets in a variety of colors and fonts and even make specific adjustments (we had requested that the large picture be made into a rectangle with a border, and our request was finished quickly and perfectly) and 2) quality for the price. I am extremely happy with the final product--we've already received a ton of compliments. The only (minor) quality issue I had is that the sides of the magnet can get scraped up a bit easily.
Overall good product
I was a little unsatisfied with the smaller photos on the left they appear very pixilated and made the photos hard to make out. Other than that the service, delivery and all over experience with this company was great!
Awesome Save the Date!
I could not be happier with the finished product! It's perfect! I can not wait to mail it out and hear my guests reactions!
love love love them
Super easy to do, affordable and a fun twist. They came quickly and can track delivery.

looks good
I don't know what the resolution of your screen is, but this stuff doesn't come close to being reasonable wallpaper
http://content.techrepublic.com.com/2346-12843_11-487942-27.html?tag=content;leftCol Star Trek: Wrath of Khan
Thanks for those. I wonder how closely our imaginations parallel material reality?
awesome eye sweet
I've seen the Constelation art before, at the Lockheed Martian Plant just outside Denver where my brother was doing the electrical for the command capsule. And is now a future life boat for the ISS space station. Right now the only way it will reach the moon is if the ISS exploded and as part of the remains it was sent traveling in the direction of the moon. And if you know NASA that could change next week if they had the money. Right now the odds are you cremated remains could have a beeter chance of going to the moon than a living human. That may make some good painted art work one day.
close enough to see a gamma ray burst that looked as close as that artist rendition. You don't even have to see the object to die from it! I don't remember the fatal range of the polar beams, but it is very impressive, to say the least. I believe you don't want to be anywhere near 3000 light years of one, no matter which direction the poles are pointing. Supposedly our Galaxy doesn't have the stuff to do it; but all that is required is the collision of two neutron stars or the collapse of a big one. We don't have neutron stars in our galaxy? That seems far fetched! Oh Well! I'm not an astrophysicist, but I swore I've seen neutron stars on the local star charts!
strongly resembles the eye of a reptile poking above the surface of the event horizon...
Image 12 looks so much like the Discovery spacecraft from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I like these artist renderings, these will make nice wallpapers for my nephews desktop.
and a 61" diagonal with 16:9 aspect ratio, and they look stunning enough to me. One has to have the graphic adapter to see the results.
Given that ISS is the abbreviation for "International Space Station", isn't tacking "space station" onto it just slightly redundant?
but we should be safe, operative word "should" http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/080310-mm-grb-us.html And yes we have neutron stars, here is one now http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080217.html
And you're right - it scales well on my big screen!
And if you use the Faststone free Image viewer you can crop and scale them to fill your screen. Just remember to rescale in steps and not all at once you can get better image detail. Depending on start size I do 320, 480, 512, 640, 720, 800, 1024, 1280, 1440, 1680, 1920, 2240, 2560, and image edge sharpening helps but only 3 times or it distorts the image quality. And you may have to down scale a time or two and start again up scaling the image, this helps if the image is smaller than 1Kx768 to start. For free you can get near fractal quality up scaling of images. And with the software for free you can get near fractal quality scaling for a price you will love, that's free
In my mind the Wheel design was a atmosphere bound idea for humans that did not know what space was like. What I had been hoping for is the shuttle external fuel tanks would be sent into space and be used for as habitats that people could start building homes in. Since 2008 that dreams has faded when Discovery melted away over Texas in 2006. Now it seems the Euros will be sending things bigger than a basket ball, since the best we can do is tape ants to bottle rockets with the accountants we have today.
I'm just now getting back into Astronomy and have forgotten how far away that nebula you refer to is. I assume you mean it was formed from just such a star explosion. I'll do it the lazy way, and check my Microsoft telescope! ;)
"...poking above the surface of the event horizon"? That's an awkward phrase. It must have been BC when I wrote that. Wonder if I should change it to read "peering over the event horizon..."
You can click on the image in the gallery to open a new page with the full-size image, then right-click and save the 3000x2400 image. Why scale when you don't have to?
Many want the death tax re-instated or repealed, which ever is the case. One good reason for ending or stopping it is so the farmer families can survive. Once the farmer dies, the kids can't afford to run the farm, and pay the horrendous tax too. Land has become so valuable that the taxes can be killer on something that was paid off generations ago; but the family is forced to sell out. People need to figure out of they want to be beholding to the big corporations for their food or get rid of the ridiculous death tax. It is killing the middle class too. No politician likes the middle class because they are too educated to listen to their lies, and they tend to vote against more government power.
I've wanted to convert NASA from the FED's to private for years. Do you notice that every 4 or 8 years good ideas and programs get canned mainly because the name of the founding creator is not the current fool in the White House. My idea to fund a privatized NASA is to make space projects a tax free expense, that's no taxing all expenditures or profits of private programs and expenditures. All work or projects must be in space, the only earth bound tax free projects would be schooling and education. Private companys can do anything anyway, the just have to pass OSHA laws that exist at the time. There will be no 5 year OSHA studys to hold back projects or spend billions in government money thus paying off people so side one way or the other. In plain English, no Pork of any kind. If discovered then the money repayment is responsibility paid my those involved and down the family tree of the one involved, no more money owed ends at death.
private enterprise is taking the challenge on launch control over at NASA in Florida. This new private launch was a missile big enough to get to the moon, by what I've read about it. They will replace the Soviet Soyuz for now, but bigger ideas are already on the drawing board over at Space X. Now if they would fire the head of NASA and replace him with someone like Burt Rutan; maybe NASA could get somewhere too!
It is true that compared to this Time/Space Universe we are in we do not even make the dot at the end of a sentence, and our toys may be that lost dot. Compaired to the power that is in the Universe we can not even really distroy the planet we are on. We may be able to harm parts of it, but in the end the best we can do is put a blemish on this blue marble that orbits the sun. And for you global fear mongering Warming people, that's harm the environment we live in, not kill the planet so life will never survive. That is because life adapts to strange environments to survive. All though it may not be human.
Yes you are right but I was not going to mess with it, Santee said 9, I rolled with it. Bout 8.2 to 8.4 minutes, call it a really short time. We, as in us, won't be here, and hopefully our descendants will have migrated away from this star before it runs out of fuel.
That time is far off into the future, and if you watch the History Channels show 'The Universe" or and Science class dealing with Astronomy, they say it takes 8 minutes, so they round down and you round up. I've read years ago in a Astronomy magazine on average it is 8 min and 23 seconds. And if that is true it only happens twice a year at the summer and winter solstice. Do not know what the times are for times we are closest and farthest from the sun and that may change by the density of space, expanding or contracting of the space between the source and destination.But that deals with the warp-age of space, and billionths of a second. Wait until you watch 'The Universe' in HD, much nicer thsn the peep hole on a telescope.
that type of star in that system. But maybe they mentioned some blue companions in there. I'll have to have another gander at it. Even at that distance, I think we would see atmospheric effects, the bursts are short enough, maybe one quarter of the earth could die from gamma radiation exposure.
Something with green sauce, I hope.
we are but tiny little insignificant things in a truly vast space, without too many clues, but the folks who seem to know such stuff say we have 4 billion years till our star gets crazy. Oh, sorry 4 billion years and 9 minutes.
Anything like me? Jaw-dropping, like, when or if our sun does something like the same, and we won't know for at least nine minutes? Oh, Jesus. We are so, like, insignificant and without, ultimately, a clue. Time to prepare dinner.
neutron star, 6.5 thousand light years away, and no it was probably not a GRB, just a supernova turned to a neutron star. The Wolf-Rayet star is the one to watch, if you have a 100,000 years on your hands, or we could see it blow tomorrow, which would mean it actually went bang 8000 years ago.
your first gut observation is more accurate! ;)
"You betcha." But all that possibility is getting in the way...
just leave it poking above the event horizon? ;\
So much more possibility to 'poking'. :^0
I think, though, that we can learn as much about living in hostile environments by going under water. There are differences in the physiological effects, but designing pressure structures shouldn't be that different.
My brother who was at NASA on the first two days of the week. He had to go their for his Lockheed Martin job. He is still working on the Aries Capsule that will be attached to the ISS when the Shuttle makes it's last planed flight ever next year Was March, now May since the second to last flight is now February 3rd. Still wish they had not 86ed the Constellation Program, Think we still need practass living on another near by place so we make less errors when we get there. A reacue ship that is still in planning will take at besrt 38 days to get there and the same or more time to get back. But that needs ION rockets which are still lab toys.
The vast majority of their images are 4:3. The 3000 x 2500 was the smallest image I found in this gallery, but I didn't look at them all full-size. The majority were 4096 pixels or more in the horizontal. I have one from a previous gallery at 9725 x 4862.
My screen is in the 16x10 wide screen format. It's great for movies and HD video, and if you bought your computer more than a few years ago you'll be most likely a Square screen, and if more than 6 or 7 years you'll most likely still be a tuber. If you are an oldie do your lights dim when you turn on the computer? I like to use less than 60 watts for a PC. I do have an old full tower 386 that eats 235 watts, no Hard drives though they moved to newer computers. That ended when I could get Terabyte USB external drives.

SWANSBORO – Jay Dolph tried to fight off the emotions but couldn't.
The Swansboro senior forward could be seen with tears in his eyes and right in the middle of the Pirates' celebration following their 3-2 soccer victory over Jacksonville on Thursday night.
Dolph had emerged as the hero after he scored the game-winning goal with 1:21 left to help the Pirates top the defending state 3-A champions in a Coastal 3-A Conference match.
"This is huge," Dolph said. "Coming to 3-A this year, it's a big win."
Indeed it was.
The victory put Swansboro (12-1-1, 6-0) in sole possession of first place in the conference in their first season in the league following several years in the East Central 2-A Conference.
Simply put, the win shows the Pirates can still be strong, despite being in a larger classification. Swansboro entered the match ranked eighth in the N.C. Soccer Coaches Association 3-A poll while Jacksonville was third.
"I'm really pleased for the boys. They just have stepped up their level of play so much from last year," Swansboro coach Doug Kidd said. "And as the season goes, their competitive nature is unbelievable from what I'm seeing.
"Last year we didn't demonstrate that too many times until a stretch at the end of the season. Good things happen when you go out and compete. The kids are buying into what we are trying to do."
Swansboro's victory not only gave Jacksonville its second consecutive loss, it was also the Cardinals' first conference loss since joining the conference in 2009. It also ended the Pirates' five-game losing streak to Jacksonville, which fought back to tie it at 2-2 after falling behind 2-0 early.
"We can't keep going out relaxed the first 10 minutes. We've been doing that too much this year and we get behind," Jacksonville coach Dave Miller said. "We've been preaching that every time we step on the field we will get everybody's best game. At some point hopefully the boys figure it out that we have to play the beginning of the game like we do when we are behind."
While the Cardinals rallied from their two-goal deficit, there was no answering Dolph's goal that gave the Pirates a 3-2 lead.
The deciding goal came after senior Cameron Noonan delivered a long throw-in from the right sideline. The ball sailed inside the goal box where Dolph managed to get his head on the ball and direct it into the goal.
"Cameron threw it and it just came right to me. I knew it was coming and I just had to finish it," Dolph said. "Luckily I was able to get a touch on it and score it."
Dolph entered the match as Swansboro's third-leading scorer with five goals and five assists.
"Jay comes up with big goals when you need them the most," Kidd said. "He's done that for all four years."
Miller has noticed that, too.
"Jay is a great kid who works hard," Miller said. "He was rewarded for that tonight."
The Cardinals sure worked hard to get back into the game after falling behind 2-0 in the first eight minutes of the match.
Down 2-1, Jacksonville junior Tyler Moore tied the game with 15:28 left after he played the ball inside the 18 following a free kick was headed by CJay Sparks.
Junior Zach Hall scored the Cardinals' first goal with 22:45 left in the first half to cut Swansboro's lead to 2-1.
"I'm really thinking about us trying to get another one toward the end of the game," Miller said. "I felt like we had the better of the play. For most of the game we were down on their end of the field."
Jacksonville did have more of the second-half possession and scoring chances. Still, the Pirates weren't fazed.
"It was frustrating, but we just had to keep working," Dolph said. "We knew they were coming. Luckily our team stayed together and we got the job done."
The Pirates opened the game strong, scoring two goals in the first 7:53.
Sophomore Andrew Phillips gave Swansboro a 1-0 lead 6:35 into the game after he scored off an assist from Jordan Clower. Phillips managed to get his head on the ball after Clower sent a diagonal pass from the right.
It didn't take long, however, for the Pirates to strike again.
Noonan gave Swansboro a 2-0 lead just 1:18 after Phillips goal. After playing a crossing pass from the left side by Phillips, Noonan took one step and shot from inside the 18-yard line.
Just like that the Pirates were in control.
"We had to change some things, tactically, tonight to compete with Jacksonville and I thought we executed pretty well," Kidd said. "We just played more of a defensive alignment with a 4-5-1 and we looked to counterattack on them."
Jacksonville 1 1 — 2
Swansboro 2 1 — 3
GOALS—J: Hall, Moore. S: Phillips, Noonan, Dolph. ASSISTS—J: Sparks. S: Clower, Phillips, Noonan. IN GOAL—J: Davis (3 saves). S: Oswalt (5 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—J 7, S 6. CORNER KICKS—J 6, S 1. RECORDS—J: 8-3-1, 4-1, at West Craven on Tuesday. S: 12-1-1, 6-0, at White Oak on Thursday.

Lejeune guard Chatori Major never considered playing college basketball anywhere except the University of North Carolina-Asheville.
And so it was an easy decision for the Lejeune High senior to pick the NCAA Division I Bulldogs.
"They had been contacting me for a while now," said Major, who signed with
Major visited the campus over the summer. What the Bulldogs saw was a player who can pour in the points and can give them a scoring threat even from the perimeter.
Last year Major led the area in scoring with 20.9 points per game and also shot 76 percent from the free throw line to lead the Devilpups to a 20-6 record and into the NCHSAA 1-A playoffs. She also averaged 7.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists for the Devilpups.
As a sophomore, Major averaged 23.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2 assists. She has made the first team of The Daily News all-area team the past two years and returned this season as one of the area's best players.
Major's season got off to a good start last week when she scored 32 points to help Lejeune defeat Coastal Christian 67-29.
"I'm really aggressive most of the time and I am a good shooter," the 17-year-old Major said. "I've been playing since I was 9-years-old, and being in the gym with my dad has helped."
As a freshman, Major played for Leeds High in Birmingham, Ala., before her Marine father was transferred to Camp Lejeune.
Major will be joining an UNCA squad that is 1-4 overall entering tonight's home game against South Florida. Last year the Bulldogs went 7-23 overall and 3-15 in the Big South Conference.
"They (UNCA coaches) talked to me about running point guard and playing some on the wing," Major said. "They said they have enjoyed watching me play defense."
But before she joins UNCA next year, there are some things Major has in mind while still at Lejeune.
"I really want to improve on my dribbling skills and work on my defense some more," Major said. "You can never stop getting better at that."
Then there's the team goals Major has for the Devilpups.
"We have a good, talented squad and I want to see us go far in the playoffs," Major said. "We have the talent to go far."

Hibiscus of an Unusual Color
I had the great pleasure of touring Oahu in 1986 and loved seeing red Hibiscus everywhere. The scent was divine and the colors so bright. Now I find the same flower in my favorite color, purple, and could not resist. I had been used to using Hallmark seals on my personal correspondence but now my friends and family will be able to enjoy seals of a different kind.

The long, rugged Weetock Trail in the
With the help of a determined Boy Scout troop, the trail has two new information kiosks to keep travelers informed and aware of what nature has to offer.
Led by 13-year-old
"I always go hiking and I know a lot about the trail, but I know there are people who don't know much about it," he said. "I wanted to change that so I thought of what I could do about trail maintenance."
Gene Huntsman of the Carteret County Wildlife Club gave Daniel the idea to build one kiosk for each trailhead with a design from the CCWC. He used cedar shingles for the roof and Plexiglas and plywood for box. In addition to the maps and trail information inside the kiosks, the cadets of Girl Scout troop 1693 from
Serving with Troop 446 for three years, Daniel said that he has learned valuable lessons about independence and responsibility through various activities and from his scoutmaster Robert Taylor. Troop 446 is chartered by Cape Carteret Presbyterian Church.
"The thing I have learned the most is leadership," Daniel said. "The adults don't run the meetings, the boys do. You have to plan everything and deal with things when someone gets in trouble … it really helps you with things you need later in life."
It took Daniel and 20 other scouts 137 man-hours and several weeks to build and install the kiosks at the trail. The U.S. Forest Service and CCWC each donated the wood and Plexiglas for the project. To raise the remaining money for hardware, Daniel received pledges and ran the Croatan 24 Ultramarathon last November. He ran 52 miles along the Tideland Trails in Cedar Point over the 24 hours and his efforts raised more than $200.
"I asked people to donate money per mile," Daniel said. "It was fun. Even if I wasn't doing the Eagle Scout project, I still would have done it."
With the success of the trail project and other merit activities that he will organize, Daniel feels that he is well on his way to achieving his Eagle Scout rank. Daniel's father Rod Brewster said that is pleased with the hard work that he and the scouts donated to help promote environmental awareness.
"His mom and I are super proud of everything he's done," Rod said. "His project is an activity that he cares about and worked hard to make happen. We couldn't be happier with what he did with the skills he learned in Boy Scouts."

EDMONTON, AB – The Minnesota Swarm (5-5) lost a nailbiter to the Edmonton Rush (3-9) by the score of 14-13 on Friday night in front of 7,035 fans at Rexall Place.
With the game tied at 13 late in the fourth quarter, Rush F Zack Greer (5g, 2a) scored the go-ahead goal with 3.5 seconds to play in regulation. Minnesota then had one final opportunity to tie things up, but was unable to get a shot off after losing the ensuing faceoff.
Forward Ryan Benesch led the Swarm with eight points (4g, 4a) and notched a goal with 1:14 remaining in the fourth to tie the game at 13. Benesch tallied all three of Minnesota's fourth quarter goals. After Friday night's performance, the five-year veteran now ranks first in the NLL in goals with 31 and sits just two goals shy of tying his career-high of 33.
Forwards Callum Crawford (3g, 2a) and Mat Giles (3g, 3a) both tallied hat tricks respectively in the loss and F Aaron Wilson (2g, 1a) chipped in two goals.
Minnesota battled back from several three-goal deficits Friday night, which included trailing 6-3 in the second and 10-7 in the third. Fueled by two goals from Giles, the Swarm managed to outscore the Rush 4-1 in the second to send the game tied at seven at halftime. Both teams then added three goals a piece in the third, as the game remained even at 10.
Minnesota jumped ahead 12-11 midway through the final quarter when Benesch tallied his third on the night and gave the Swarm its first lead since holding a 2-1 advantage early in the first quarter.
Edmonton would finish the game on a 3-1 run to pull out the victory, which included two goals from Greer and one from rookie D John LaFontaine (1g). Rush G Matt Disher (28 saves) picked up the win and F Ryan Ward (2g, 3a) also added five points.
Minnesota plays its next game on national television on VERSUS this Sunday at 1 p.m. when it hosts the Buffalo Bandits (7-3) on Treasure Island Field at Xcel Energy Center. The Swarm will look to avenge a 15-12 road loss to the Bandits earlier this season on Feb. 4.
Sunday's nationally televised game will celebrate "Family Day at the Hive" where the first 5,000 fans will receive a free blinking "Go Swarm" pin. For one low ticket price of $6, fans can also watch the game with their dogs from the upper bowl. Radio Disney will host a pre-game party and a local mascot game will take place at halftime. For more information on Sunday's game, visit mnswarm.com or call 888-MN-SWARM.

The Atlantic Road is a 4-mile long stretch of road between the towns of Kristiansund and Molde, the two main population centers in the county of Møre og Romsdal in Fjord Norway. The road starts approximately 18 miles southwest of Kristiansund and ends 29 miles north of Molde.
The Atlantic Road zigzags across low bridges that jut out over the sea, linking the islands between Molde (famous for its annual jazz festival in July) and Kristiansund in the western fjords. The Hustadvika is an infamous stretch of ocean and when in storm it is truly dramatic. In calmer weather you might spot whales and seals, writes the British newspaper The Guardian (April 25, 2006).
Chosen as "Norway's construction of the century" in 2005, the road links together small coastal communities. From the town of Kristiansund, the Atlantic Road is only a 30-minute drive through the Atlantic Ocean Tunnel. After passing the tunnel you cross the island of Averøy with Kvernes Stave Church, the very scenic west side of the island, and the incredible coastline out towards Hustadvika.
The Atlantic Road has been awarded the status national tourist route because of the architecture of the road and the bridges, and the incredible coastline it passes through.
There are four panoramic view- and rest areas with facilities in bold architectural forms along the Atlantic Road. Here you can experience both nature and architecture in great interaction. Some of the viewing platforms are also popular with anglers.
In co-operation with Nordeca, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) have launched a series of new road maps, each covering one of the 18 different National Tourist Routes in Norway.
The maps describe viewpoints along the way, as well as the National Tourist Routes' nature attractions, dining, accommodations and other attractions along the routes. To give the reader a good and visual impression of the routes, several pictures and descriptions have been placed in the maps themselves.
The maps are available in English, German and Norwegian from kartbutikken.no.
Even though whales are a less common sight, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the view of the Atlantic Ocean, a rich bird life and even spot seals.
The impressive road skips nimbly from island to island, across seven bridges. The tallest bridge, Storseisundet Bridge, has a dramatic and beautiful curve and almost brings an artistic perspective into the technique of building bridges.
Many tourists choose to travel to the Atlantic Road during the autumn to experience the raging storms that pound the road. The construction workers experienced 12 hurricanes during the building process before the road opened in 1989.
The Kvernes Stave Church, dating from approximately 1300 AD, is one of the most recent of the Norwegian stave churches. This beautiful and special stave church is located with a magnificent view over the Kvernesfjord and the Freifjord.
The Bremsnes Cave is located on the southern side of the Bremsneshatten Mountain. Many finds from the almost 10,000-year-old Fosna culture have been made there.The old Kvernes Rural Museum consists of 11 old buildings with a large and varied collection from different periods. The mail yard by the museum form a marine environment like it was in the 18th and 19th century. The museum is open every day during summer.
Excellent fishing spots are accessible by boat or from the rocky seashore. Several parking places along the road make it easy to leave the car behind, for minutes or hours, and enjoy the view, the salty fresh air, the sunset and/or the stormy weather – depending on the time of day, and the season.
Fishing tours are arranged on a daily basis through the summer. Both Strømsholmen Sea Sports Center and the island of Håholmen offer tours.
Diving in these waters is very good. The clean water and powerful tidal currents make diving here very attractive. In summer, Strømsholmen Sea Sports Center offers daily diving excursions.
Close by the road in the bay of Hustadvika, lies the island of Håholmen. In the 1700s, Håholmen was a lively stockfish fishing community. Today its beautifully restored buildings invite you to take a break from the hectic everyday life. You can just visit for a day to enjoy a tasty meal and learn more about the fishing village's history as well as Viking history. Or you can spend a couple of nights here in cosy cabins overlooking the sea.
Island hopping on two wheels starts in Molde and proceeds westwards to the island municipalities of Midsund, Sandøy and Aukra. Between the islands you can relax on ferries or express boats. The tour continues on the mainland to the fishing village of Bud, across small islands and skerries along the Atlantic Road and ends with the tunnel from Averøy to Kristiansund. Wind-surfers dreaming of large waves and plenty of wind can realise their dreams in the Hustadvika bay, which is renowned for its "wild nature". Days where the sea is calm are rare.
Derinngarden is a farm shop with hand-made cheese, yoghurt and more. Open every day in summer.
Håholmen Havstuer is a 18th-century fishing village with its original wharves, traditional fishermen's shacks and bakery. The seaward side of this 10-acre island faces directly onto the ocean and the shipping channels. There is a special summer programme with boat trips and films in the "Saga Siglar" Hall. The village is reached by boat from the Atlantic Road.
Atlanterhavsveien Sjøstuer, down by the idyllic Atlantic Road, are new cabins with distinctive features, situated close to the sea and the beach. The cabins have motorboats available.
Hustadvika Gjestegård is located between Bud and the Atlantic Road. This unique place by the ocean is an ideal outpost to enjoy nature in all season.
Kronborg Marina is situated in idyllic surroundings on the island of Averøy, more specifically Sveggsundet, only 10 minutes from the center of Kristiansund.
Enjoy the view from Bjartmars Favorittkro, located just off the Atlantic Road, where you will find good coffee and tasty food prepared with local ingredients. Here you can also rent bicycles and fishing equipment.
The little fishing village of Bud has several restaurants serving fresh fish and exciting seafood. Bryggjen Restaurant is one of them, with a seafood buffet every day in the summer season.
From Kristiansund:The Atlantic Ocean Tunnel connects Kristiansund to the island of Averøy. From Kristiansund's town center, follow fv. 70 to the roundabout where fv. 64 starts (follow signs towards Molde). The tunnel is approximately five kilometers long. Cyclists are not allowed through the tunnel. The Atlantic Ocean Tunnel is a toll road. Follow fv. 64 to Kårvåg, the northeast part of the National Tourist Route.

Hornets are the only team that doesnt learn from there mistakes.. sigh, Good game from Anderson everyone else besides rivers, not so good
Hornets are the only team that doesnt learn from there mistakes.. sigh, Good game from Anderson everyone else besides rivers, not so good
I'm just upset that Grevis got the last shot. I would have like the play be for Anderson, Davis, or Rivers these players are the future of this team not Vasquez they should be taking the key shoots. I love the effort we played with in the fourth quarter.
I thought the rule was that there had to be at least 0:03 for a catch and shoot.
I think they played it right. Give props to Lillard because he even released it a bit early in his motion. Still made it.
Good effort bringing the team back within striking distance tonight from Ryno, Gravy, Davis, Rivers and Lance. I will not be so hard on Gravy as everyone else has been so far, however his defense and turnover differential needs to improve as soon as possible. On defense he's caught out of position too many times. On offense he's making bad passes at critical junctures during the game. Time will tell though when EG10 gets back into the rotation. Davis needs to hit the weights hard this offseason and improve his conditioning. He looked a little tired tonight. Rivers needs to practice on his mid-range jumpers. Lance needs to improve his mid-range jumper and ball-handling.
Now, it seems Aminu will be traded soon. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Lopez is on the trade table. Your thoughts?
Vasquez was definitely finding Davis more today, though not enough to everyone's liking. I don't think that is a hard fix, Vasquez did it a lot in Memphis, he's not blind
For the record, one of the main gripes I've had with Monty since year 1 is his ability to draw up a good late game play. Byron Scott was great at those, so was Tim Floyd.
Great effort by the team... Davis ended up having a good game. Anderson was fantastic and Vasquez had the usual good and bad. Huge shot by Rivers at the end as well.
Also I want more Lance Thomas at the 3 from now on. I think he's earned it.
Let's also give it up for What's-his-name! The guy we signed yesterday! He didn't suck hardly at all barely.
If I was Davis I would be mad as hell at Gravy, too many missed opportunities for lobs missed tonight
I have watched all his games this year(i feel in love with his play while scouting lol) my only knock is his defense it has been mediocre at best. I projected he would be a plus defender and he hasn't been. He has the tools but Portland's bench is so bad they need him to play 40mpg so maybe he just cant give the effort required or maybe I just overrated his D.

Wallabies lock Sitaleki Timani has been suspended for one match and will miss the Test against Wales.
Timani appeared before the IRB Judicial Officer, David Martin (Ireland), having been cited for striking an opponent in the match between Italy and Australia in Florence last Saturday.
Acknowledging the player's admission of having carried out the act of foul play, the judicial officer deemed the incident to be at the low end of the IRB's table of offending and suspended the player for one week, having taken into account mitigating factors.
Timani is suspended until 2 December 2012 and has the right of appeal.
Meanwhile, an independent IRB-appointed Appeal Committee has partially upheld the appeal of Australian lock Rob Simmons, against the decision of an IRB-appointed Judicial Officer to suspend the player for eight weeks following his tip tackle in the match between France and Australia on 10 November.
The Appeal Committee found that the player had committed the act of foul play (and dismissed the player's appeal on that point) but found that the player's offending had merited a mid range entry point, rather than the top end entry point that the Judicial Officer had originally found.
After applying aggravating and mitigating factors, the Appeal Committee imposed a reduced sanction of five weeks. Therefore the player will be free to play from 4 February 2013.

25 Years Ago: Nirvana Release 'Bleach'
When Nirvana released their debut album, 'Bleach,' on June 15, 1989, few could have predicted that the Kurt Cobain-led group would eventually change the world.
The band — who at that time included Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Chad Channing — recorded most of the album with Jack Endino in December 1988 and January 1989, during a series of sessions that cost a whopping $606.17. Live guitarist Jason Everman ponied up the cash for this bill, which earned him a credit on 'Bleach.'
The surroundings were rather low-key. In Michael Azerrad's book 'Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana,' Endino's Reciprocal Recording Studios was described as a place where "the paint peeled off the particle-board walls, there were cigarette burns all over every horizontal surface, and it didn't matter a bit if you spilled your beer on the carpet."
Nirvana added this Endino work to three songs dating from an earlier recording session, which featured Melvins' Dale Crover on drums instead of Channing. What emerged was an album full of primitive, brittle grunge dirges ('Sifting,' 'Paper Cuts'), scuzz-metal mayhem ('Negative Creep,' 'Mr. Moustache') and the occasional college-pop oasis ('About a Girl,' 'Love Buzz').
Cobain's hoarse-throat lyrics were mostly unintelligible, although a few choice phrases emerged to add angst and despair — or, in the case of 'School,' levity: "Won't you believe it / It's just my luck / No recess."
What was perhaps so striking about the greyscale rock 'n' roll found on 'Bleach' was how familiar it sounded. The record wasn't transformative; it was rooted in tradition. As Azerrad notes: "Nirvana's new wave sound — Scratch Acid, Butthole Surfers, and the like — was derivative. It wasn't until they acknowledged the fact that they had grown up on Aerosmith and Black Sabbath that their music found its voice."
Although 'Bleach' is now a landmark release — in fact, it went Platinum and is label Sub Pop's biggest seller — at the time, reaction to the album was mixed. It didn't appear on the Billboard 200, although the British music press was much kinder. "If you find yourself nodding off to Guns N' Roses' occasional acoustic noodlings then wake up to Nirvana," wrote the NME. "Scrap all that Soft Metal crap and get behind these brats!"

My dad was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Does this mean I'll get it too?
- Jordan*
Just because your dad has diabetes doesn't mean that you will. But certain factors do put people at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes: having a family history of the condition, being obese, and being inactive.
Luckily, people can help reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes by watching their weight and exercising. Getting into the habit of eating a healthy, balanced diet and exercising regularly can help prevent health problems later in life — and help keep you fit now.

Charesse W. calls her five-month old pit bull mix, Petey, her "miracle dog" for good reason. On Christmas Day, Charesse left her Brooklyn apartment to spend time with family. Petey stayed behind, and when Charesse returned a few hours later, nothing seemed amiss. In the days that followed, however, Petey grew very sick. He stopped eating and drinking, and his weight declined rapidly.
Charesse rushed Petey to the ASPCA Animal Hospital, where he received care through the ASPCA's Trooper Fund—a program in place to cover medical costs for animals whose guardians need assistance with veterinary expenses.
Veterinarian Dr. Juline Holland noted that Petey was severely dehydrated and thin, and she could feel a tubular object extending the length of his abdomen. She stabilized Petey before sending him to radiology, where she was shocked by his radiographs. This small pup had swallowed something strange. Doctors and nurses gathered around the X-ray, studying a long, thin object that extended almost the entire length of Petey's body.
Petey needed emergency surgery—foreign objects, especially one so large, can cause severe damage to the throat, stomach or intestines if swallowed. The resulting complications can be fatal.
Dr. Yvonne Kline, along with Dr. Marisa Altieri, performed surgery on Petey, and what they found in his the abdominal cavity was astounding. It turned out to be a toilet brush, approximately 15 inches long! The brush end was stuck in Petey's esophagus, while the handle stretched his stomach to several times its normal length.
ASPCA Veterinarian Dr. Yvonne Kline (left) with Petey and Charesse (right)
The doctors considered pushing the brush from Petey's stomach, but it was lodged tightly in his throat. The only other option was to make a small incision into the stomach and extract it. They did so, and gently removed the brush.
"It was the one of the most remarkable things I have ever seen in veterinary medicine and the strangest surgery I have ever performed," Dr. Kline says.
The next day, Petey was eating again, and staff noticed how affectionate he was. Petey is taking medicine to relieve gagging symptoms and eating multiple meals a day to gain weight.
After days and sleepless nights spent worrying about Petey, Charesse was immensely relieved. Her "miracle dog" is working on one important New Year's resolution: not to swallow anything larger than dog kibble, or maybe the occasional treat!
Marcus Graham, ASPCA senior animal care technician (left) with veterinarian Dr. Yvonne Kline (right)
Wow, that's crazy!! I don't understand how such a straight and hard object fit in his intestines!! Poor baby <3 Glad he's okay now!
The brush didn't make it into the intestines (at least not according to the story and the radiographs). The bristles were stuck in the esophagus with the handle protruding into the stomach.
From the x-ray and story it looks like the handle was in his throat and the brush end in his stomach.
Nope. The story states, "The brush end was stuck in Petey's esophagus, while the handle stretched his stomach to several times its normal length." That's also what the X-ray seems to show. Front is left, back is right.
Wow, this is strange. I am so relieved that the dog is fine and recovering. I can't imagine how he swallowed such a shaped thing. Is Charesse sure that someone didn't shove the stick down the dog's throat? I can't imagine that either. I am so relieved that the sweet dog is recovering and that Charesse is relieved and happy, too, to have her Petey back. Her smiling face says it all.

Is it time to swap "virtual" fences for real ones?
A few years back, the government decided to try "virtual fences" with radar, cameras and sensors along the border between the United States and Mexico. With illegal immigration becoming a bigger issue with each passing day, Editor Don Whitten wonders if lawmakers ready to swap virtual fences for real ones don't have a pretty good idea.

Women's Basketball Adds Southern Cal. Transfer to Frontcourt
August 28, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University womens basketball team welcomes junior Lauren White to the program. White, who transferred from USC, follows in her father footsteps at Pfeiffer. Darryl White 85 was a four-year member of the Pfeiffer mens basketball team.
White was ranked the No. 61 center in the nation coming out of Hickory Grove Baptist Christian High School in Charlotte, N.C. and was a nominee for McDonalds All-America honors. White was a three-time all-state selection and five-time all-conference honoree. White was named all-Mecklenberg by the Charlotte Observer and a three-time weekly Super Team selection. She finished her high school career as the schools all-time leader among boys and girls in scoring, rebounding, blocks and triple-doubles.
She spent one season as a member of the USC practice squad before joining the Falcons. White also won three state championships playing club with NC Flight. Her 6-4 frame will be a welcome addition to Head Coach Roy Dows program.
The addition of Lauren White signals the high caliber of player we expect to attract to Pfeiffer, said Dow. As a Pac-12 transfer, we believe we that Lauren will be a force on both ends of the court. Furthermore, the ability of her family to be able to see her play at her fathers alma mater is another very special piece to this experience.
The Lady Falcons finished the 2012-13 season with an overall record of 25-7, including a 17-5 Conference Carolinas mark. The team advanced to the NCAA Tournament and defeated Anderson 84-78 in the opening round before falling to Limestone in the Second Round.
