England opened their Six Nations campaign with a 30-17 victory over Wales at Twickenham.
The Dragons will lament a 10 minute period where they were reduced to 14 players and conceded 17 points, but it would be too simplistic to blame that alone for their defeat. The carelessness with which they tossed the pill around was a massive contributing factor and they'll have to address this in the weeks ahead.
England fed off these errors and took their chances. They were pragmatic, but will improve and are sure to be strong contenders for the title if they blend that pragmatism with the ability to play wider when needed.
England dominated the first quarter in terms of possession and territory, but seldom threatened the Welsh line as a result of imprecision when they drove into good positions – the best of those coming on 19 minutes when they turned over possession at an attacking scrum 5m out.
Wales defended accurately and robustly for the majority of the first half – something that would have pleased defence coach Shaun Edwards – but they were rudderless on attack, and poor on their own lineout feeds, compounding an already difficult situation.
Their struggles were amplified when lock Alun-Wyn Jones stupidly tripped an English player, earning him a yellow card, and it took England just five minutes to capitalise – James Haskell shooting over after a scrum close to the line.
Jonny Wilkinson converted to go with two earlier penalties, and England had a commanding 13-3 half-time lead.
The directive from Wales coach Warren Gatland would surely have been for his charges to secure possession and use it more intelligently than they had in the first half, staying patient through the phases and earning the right to play expansively.
However, they persisted with their wayward style and it cost them when wing Tom James isolated himself and surrendered possession. The ball was spun wide and recycled through a couple of phases until Danny Care found space to slice through the defensive line for the score. Wilkinson's conversion took England 17 points ahead.
Wales' response, through prop Adam Jones, was immediate, and illustrated the value of patient build-up play as opposed to helter-skelter stuff they were playing preceding that. Stephen Jones' conversion drew them within 10.
For 20 minutes the game went through a lull, with neither side willing to take risks within their half, and when they did mount attacks they broke down as a result of basic handling errors or poor option taking.
Then James Hook broke open the match with the most sublime solo effort which saw him slip through the England midfield then negotiate the cover defence to cross the whitewash. Jones made no mistake with the conversion, and with eight minutes remaining and just three points (20-17) adrift, Wales had the momentum.
But you just sensed that their cavalier style would come at a massive cost, and it did when Delon Armitage intercepted a floated pass, and a couple of exchanges later Haskell was celebrating his second, and the decisive try of the match.

I just have not been impressed so far, I wasn't thrilled with the pick anyway, I thought they should tried to trade up to draft Lillard but thats the way it goes.
I just have not been impressed so far, I wasn't thrilled with the pick anyway, I thought they should tried to trade up to draft Lillard but thats the way it goes.
I realize he hasn't played pg. I guess I am still spoiled of having a good point guard with having Paul & Baron Davis the last 15 years.
I just hope Gordon comes back plays well and stays healthy, but I think there is slim chance of that happening. I hope I am wrong.
Sounds stupid but can Vasquez play the 3? He can rebound pretty well for a 6'6 guy aswell.
He struggles guard pgs because he is a lot slower. He scores because of his strength and height. I wouldnt mind seeing him there
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2
can someone explain to me why you are saying Vasquez didn't defense well in recent games? From what I saw, both Lillard and Curry struggled in finding their shoots or assists.
I have seen you hard on Vasquez in a few threads. I know you blame the travel he made late in the game. But to me that's clearly a bad call. Another bad call is the last block call on Rivers. It is clear that they have home advantage, even golden state reporters said that. Why can't the hornets fans be supportive to their players?
I like Vasquez. I think he could be one of the best PGs in the league, as a backup. I think its clear the major positions we need to address via trades or fa/draft is PG and SF.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Also some facts from front court.
The hornets were beat in the paint again. They were out rebounded. Good to see Davis getting 16 rebounds though. But Ryan got ZERO rebound. He used 26 possessions to get 28 points. David Lee is indeed a hard match up for him.
I love Davis's effort. But I expect him to develop more post moves like David Lee.
Once davis develops a little more of an offensive game, he'll be unstoppable. Right now he stands around alot on o, not much to complain about, but once he bulks up, develops some post moves and improves his jump shot, he will be a dominating force in this league. As far as vasquez, my opinion of him changes every possession. We have bigger concerns at the 2 and 3 right now in my opinion.
It's not like anyone here hates Vasquez. In fact, he's one of my favorites on the team because he plays so hard and I love his fire. But I think we all see his limitations. There is probably a personnel group that would work with Vasquez at the PG; hell, it's probably Eric Gordon at the 2. He'll take a lot of pressure off of Vasquez when he takes over the P&R. For now, though, without a faster guard, he is experiencing a lot of trouble on offense and defense. I think it's reasonable to complain about his game when it hurts the team in the midst of a pretty bad losing streak. I still like him; I just recognize the team can probably do better with someone else starting.
The only thing im really upset about is no miller time. He must have really been slacking in practice or something. Vazquez didnt play awful tonight but he missed slot of open men tonight. The only way he can keep starting in this league is if he sharpens his descision making up. Its supposed to be his strong suit but hes stumbled alot this season.
And mcguire is a likable player. He doesnt have much offense but ppl need to learn from him. He is a solid defender and a good ballhandler.
And most NBA basketball is P&R. I'm not sure where you get this notion that it's not. It's not like we have any playmakers on the wing to do something besides pick n roll.

Cat Jaundice
Cat Jaundice
When your cat develops a yellow color to mucus membranes and other body tissue, then it is likely that your cat is jaundiced. This is the result of elevated levels of bilirubin. Bilirubin is the material that comes from red blood cells that have broken down.
Jaundice is not normal. The first place an owner may notice it is in the whites of their cats eyes. It will also be noticeable on the abdomen, gums and at the base of their cat's ear.
Prehepatic Causes
If the condition is "prehepatic" it is occurring before the blood enters the liver.
• Blood parasites
• Drugs
• Cat may have it as a result of accidentally eating onions
• Reaction to a blood transfusion
• Hemangiosarcoma or other blood vessel tumor
Hepatic Causes
This is the result of Cat Liver Disease and other liver disorders and can be caused by:
• Hepatitis, cholangitis (disease of the bile duct system) or both
• Toxins being ingested, such as heavy metals, certain chemicals
• Drugs such as Phenobarbital, corticosteroids, chemotherapy
• Viral, protozoal or bacterial infections
• Cirrhosis that is end stage
Posthepatic Causes
• Disease of the pancreas, gall bladder or bile duct
• Intestinal disorders that cause blockage of the bile duct
Signs and Symptoms
Obvious symptoms include a yellow tint to the whites of the eyes, skin and gums. Your cat will have Cat Lethargy and have a Cat Loss of Appetite. This will cause a Cat Loss of Weight and a poor condition of your cat's body and coat. There can be a Cat Swollen Abdomen visible.
When the condition becomes severe, your cat will have Cat Difficulty Breathing, Cat Vomiting, Cat Diarrhea and will also have Cat Increased Urination and Cat Increased Thirst.
Your veterinarian will perform standard laboratory studies such as CBC, chemical profile, urinalysis and liver profile. There will also be tests that evaluate protein level, blood sugar, electrolytes, ph of the urine.
From that point and after a complete medical history, your veterinarian may choose to do the following:
• X-rays of the abdomen and chest will enable your vet to see any masses and evaluate the potential enlargement of body organs
• Ultrasound will assess the size and shape of the organs of the abdomen with emphasis on the liver
• Serology will test for any infectious diseases that attack the liver or cause the destruction of red blood cells
• Clotting profiles will also be done. Abnormal clotting is possible with severe disease of the liver
• Liver biopsy if it is determined that the liver is diseased
• Coombs test evaluates for the destruction of RBC's by the immune system
• If necessary your veterinarian may choose to do an exploratory surgery of the abdomen. This is done if the tests performed are inconclusive.
During the testing period your vet will discontinue any new therapies that were in progress before jaundice. Your cat will be encouraged to rest and not be exposed to stressful situations. If the cat is suffering with Cat Dehydration, intravenous fluids along with electrolytes will be administered. If anemia is profound, blood transfusions will be done.
Once you get your cat home, palliative steps need to be taken, such as with Cat Palliative Cancer Care. You should administer any medications ordered by your vet and remove any other drugs or materials that may be toxic.

Home of the BTM JTA Transaction Manager
The Bitronix Transaction Manager (BTM) is a simple but complete implementation of the JTA 1.0.1B API. The goal is to provide a fully working XA transaction manager that provides all services required by the JTA API while trying to keep the code as simple as possible for easier understanding of the XA semantics. This is BTM's strongest point compared to its competitors: when something goes wrong it is much easier to figure out what to do thanks to the great care placed in useful error reporting and logging.
This is the home page for the Bitronix Transaction Manager space. Content of the http://www.bitronix.be/ website related to BTM will progressively be migrated here.

Yadkinville resident Lisa Drum has created one of two plays being used in the coming weeks as part of the Northwestern Regional Library's fall fundraiser Mystery Dinner Theaters, the first of which is planned for Friday in Yadkinville.
Yadkin County Branch Librarian Malinda Sells said Drum own Blue Sky Studios at the Cultural Arts Center in Yadkinville.
"When our downtown business association had three mystery dinner fundraisers, Lisa wrote the plays for them," said Sells, explaining how Drum got involved with the library fundraiser and where the Yadkin Mystery Players group, who will perform for two of the library events, began. "This group kind of came together and had a really enjoyable time, and so they've continued as Lisa has written more plays."
Drum's play, "Books are Murder," will premiere Friday at the Lone Hickory Arena at 6:30 p.m., with a second showing Oct. 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Mount Airy.
Two other mystery dinner theaters are planned at the VFW Hall in Sparta on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 at 6:30 p.m. Galax, Va.-resident Vicky Town's play, "The Fourteenth Annual Genealogy Society Meeting: a murder mystery," will be presented by the Alleghany Community Theater group.
Sells said the dinners are casual to dressy, with the Yadkinville event featuring chicken Alfredo, salad, bread, a cobbler, and cheese and cracker appetizers; Mount Airy will include wraps and other munchies; and Alleghany will be spaghetti dinners.
"The regional management is trying to have regionwide fundraisers twice a year to supplement things shared by all of us," explained Elkin Public Library Branch Librarian Martha Smith. "eBooks are open to everyone, so you can't direct it toward one specific library."
The cost of the ebooks purchased by the region is $12,000 annually, so the mystery dinner theaters will aid in paying that bill. An earlier fundraiser, Ride for Readers held in June, raised $9,000 of the amount needed.
"Anyone in the region can access (the ebooks)," Smith said.
She said the Northwestern Regional system, serving Alleghany, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin, also shares ebooks with the Appalachian Regional Library, which serves Wilkes, Watauga and Ashe counties.
"The ebooks we purchase, their readers can access; and the ebooks they purchase, our readers can access," she said.
While ebooks are not the most used resource at the libraries, Smith said last year the regional library system circulated 9,000 ebooks.
"It is certainly being used by people who enjoy the convenience of an ereader," said Smith. "Libraries are in a real period of change with the shifting format of books and access to smart phones. Libraries are trying to find how we still can be of value to the community."
Sells said there are about 50 seats to fill at the Yadkinville dinner theater, with plenty of tickets still available.
Tickets for all of the mystery dinner theaters are $20 each and are available at all of the NWRL libraries. For more information, call a local NWRL branch or visit www.nwrl.org.

An example of using threading with SwingBuilder to do lengthy operations in the background so GUI event handling remains responsive. This sample code demonstrates many of the issues that may occur including replacing the content of a "please wait" message with something else, and safely changing "realized" components only on the EDT (Event Dispatch Thread). This sample happens to use tableLayout, which can get pretty slow but that is a good stresser for the demonstration.
Eventually there will be more explanation of what's going on here, but hopefully this will be helpful.
// @author Jim White <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder import java.awt.BorderLayout import javax.swing.JFrame import java.awt.GridLayout import java.awt.Color SwingBuilder.build { myFrame = frame(title: 'SwingThreading', pack: true, defaultCloseOperation: JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE) { borderLayout() def lazyPanelsParent scrollPane(constraints: BorderLayout.CENTER, preferredSize: [500, 300]) { lazyPanelsParent = panel(layout: new GridLayout(0, 1, 5, 5)) { } } panel(constraints: BorderLayout.NORTH) { button(text: 'Build One', actionPerformed: { println 'Pressed' buildInTheBackground(lazyPanelsParent) }) } } myFrame.show() } /** * Create a Swing panel in the background using SwingBuilder. * This can be called from any thread. */ def buildInTheBackground(parentPanel) { // If we are not already on the EDT, static SwingBuilder.build(Closure) will do that for us. // In the case of an event handler like the actionPerformed for the button, then naturally // we're on the EDT already and the building will continue immediately. SwingBuilder.build { def statusMessage = label(border: lineBorder(color:Color.RED, thickness:4)) // Notice that the parameter to setStatus() is declared as String. // That way if code uses a GString it gets rendered at the time (and on the // thread) of the call. If we don't do that then it might get deferred, // by which time the results that the GString will produce may change and // could be in a race (results varying with execution order and maybe invalid). // Also the context here is that the caller is the work environment and that // operations on the EDT are to be quick and determinate for display only. def setStatus = { String msg -> println msg; statusMessage.setText(msg) } // We can change the shown Swing tree here because we're on the EDT. setStatus('Building...') // Put the message at the top of the list if we use index = 0. // Use plain parentPanel.add(statusMessage) if you want the end of the list. parentPanel.add(statusMessage, 0) // Component.validate() must be called after any changes that affect layout // on realized (shown) AWT/Swing trees. parentPanel.validate() doOutside { // Now we're off on our own thread. // To change the display, be sure to run that code on the EDT. edt { setStatus('Working outside') } // That will wait, which isn't really necessary here. // For more parallelism, use doLater. // doLater { setStatus('Working outside') } // Here we do our lengthy work. sleep(3000) def powerData = [* 0..5].collect {power -> [* 0..10].collect { Math.pow(it, power) } } // SwingBuilding may take a while too. def newPanel = panel(minimumSize: [250, 250], border: lineBorder(color:Color.BLUE, thickness:2)) { edt { setStatus("Building new panel") } sleep(3000) tableLayout { powerData.each {row -> tr { row.each {cell -> td { textField(cell.toString()) } } } } } } edt { setStatus("New panel ready") } // Back to the EDT for fiddling with the Swing tree. doLater { setStatus("Adding new panel") // We're gonna remove the widget used for the new panel's progress indication. // An alternate (and simpler) way to get this effect is to put the status // in a panel that doesn't get removed. But this method is shown because // it is fairly general in that the status indicator can have a utility // layout that gets removed when done and so doesn't impact the customized // structure desired for the application. // We may not be the zeroth child (beginning of list) anymore. // (Or end of list either, if that's where we started.) def idx = (parentPanel.components as List).indexOf(statusMessage) parentPanel.remove(idx) parentPanel.add(newPanel, idx) parentPanel.validate() // Cute groovyism, but we don't need the extra overhead. // parentPanel.with { // // We may not be the zeroth child anymore. // def idx = (components as List).indexOf(statusMessage) // remove(idx) // add(newPanel, idx) // validate() // } // myFrame.pack() setStatus("Built") } } } }

Jennifer Remy held up the paper envelope and, from her seat on the witness stand, identified her signature and other identifying marks.
Inside, she said, was a slide containing tiny blue fibers.
Remy, a lab analyst with the State Bureau of Investigation, was accepted as an expert witness by the state during Wednesday's court proceedings in the Donald Eugene Borders trial, and she testified how she examined a pair of dentures belonging to Margaret Tessneer.
Tessneer was found dead by her daughter, Libby Clark, and son-in-law Tommy Clark, on Sept. 20, 2003.
Police said there were several suspicious circumstances surrounding Tessneer's death, including a damaged phone line and torn screen door.
Police said the 79-year-old was raped.
Lying beside Tessneer on the bed where her body was discovered was the lower plate of her dentures, clearly visible in crime scene photos.
Remy, who specializes in the analysis of fibers, paint and hair, said she was asked to examine a pair of dentures for any fibers they might contain. She was then asked to compare those fibers with samples from a pair of pantyhose that had also been found near Tessneer's body.
She said she found none.
But Remy did find numerous tiny blue fibers on the false teeth, she testified Wednesday.
Borders is charged with the rape and murder of Tessneer and is currently standing trial. The trial began last week with three days of jury selection and has continued into this week with testimony from the state's witnesses.
Borders was arrested in 2009 after police obtained a DNA sample from a discarded cigarette butt and matched his DNA with a sample developed from sperm found on Tessneer's body, according to investigators.
Remy said when she does fiber analysis, she compares fibers taken from a crime scene - called the question sample - and compares them under a microscope to a known fiber sample, called the known standards.
"It's a very targeted search," Remy said.
The fibers' color, size, cross-sectional shape and material from which it came are all examined, she said.
Remy said the blue fibers she found on the dentures were made of both cotton and man-made materials.
She then compared the sample with fibers from Tessneer's housecoat and nightgown, but neither matched, she said.
According to testimony from former chief medical examiner Dr. John Butts, and Dr. Steven Tracy, the pathologist who performed the autopsy, both doctors believed Tessneer had been suffocated.
Tracy previously testified that Tessneer had no underlying medical condition to explain her death and through the process of elimination, said he was convinced she had died of asphyxiation secondary to suffocation.
Despite his opinion, the cause of death on the autopsy and death certificate has never been changed from "undetermined" to "homicide."
Defense probes death report information
During cross-examination, Borders' attorney David Teddy questioned both doctors extensively about why the cause of death on the death certificate and autopsy had never been changed from "undetermined."
Both Dr. Tracy and Dr. Butts said they had been waiting on further findings in the investigation before making any changes.
Teddy also questioned investigators in the case whether they asked the pathologist to change the cause of death as it is listed on the death certificate and autopsy report.
Shelby Police Sgt. Rich Ivey said he was assigned the cold case in 2008 and a list of suspects contained in the case file eventually led him and SBI Agent John Kaiser, who was assisting him in the case, to Borders.
Teddy questioned Ivey about a meeting between Kaiser and Dr. Tracy and asked if during the meeting Dr. Tracy was asked to change his opinion about cause of death.
Ivey said no.
"You're absolutely certain?" Teddy asked.
Ivey responded with a "yes."
When Teddy asked Ivey to read his case notes from November 2009, Ivey read aloud in court his notes recording a conversation with Libby Clark about how Kaiser asked Tracy to change his mind about the cause of death.
Some of Borders' family members whispered prayers as they watched the proceedings unfold.
One woman smiled jubilantly when Teddy asked why Ivey had testified, under oath, that neither he nor Kaiser asked for Dr. Tracy to change the cause and manner of death.
Ivey, hesitating, said he didn't remember what was in his notes.
Earlier in the day, while Kaiser was on the stand, he testified that he did not ask Tracy to change his opinion, but had informed the pathologist that he would be working on the case. Kaiser said he also kept Tracy informed about developments in the case to assist Tracy in his own investigation. He said Tracy requested the pantyhose and dentures to be submitted to the SBI lab for testing.
"I never asked Dr. Tracy to change autopsy results," Kaiser said. "It was our hope that he would change it. I would never go to the medical examiner to ask them to change autopsy results. I don't have those qualifications."
Defense motions to strike examiner testimonies from court record
Assistant District Attorney Sally Kirby-Turner asked for Ivey's notes, and re-read the excerpt from November 2009 about how Kaiser had spoken to Dr. Tracy about changing the cause of death.
"Were you present?" Kirby-Turner asked. "No," Ivey said.
She asked if he remembered having any conversations in 2009 about the meeting between Kaiser and Dr. Tracy.
"No," he said.
"Have you ever asked Dr. Tracy to change opinion?" she asked.
Ivey again said "no."
During the course of the trial, while questioning Remy, Teddy contended that not all email correspondence relating to the case had been turned over to the defendant.
"If I hadn't opened the case file on the stand I wouldn't have found the correspondence," Teddy said. "I don't think they have complied with the court's order."
Teddy said he doesn't want it to be an issue that has to be dealt with at an appeal hearing.
Kirby-Turner said all emails were searched using key search words and submitted to defense.
"It's not as if (the state) kept out disculpatory statements," she said. "I'm doing everything I can."
The particular email Teddy referenced dealt with court scheduling with a witness, Kirby-Turner said.
Judge Richard Boner ordered the state to make all efforts to retrieve emails pertaining to the case, even if only dealing with lunch choices.
By the time court recessed Wednesday, Kirby-Turner said all copies of emails had been found.
She said seven were found that had been sent from the SBI lab to the district attorney's office.
Teddy made a motion to strike the medical examiner's testimonies from the record.
"...It's clear that the medical examiner's office has been converted from independent investigative agency to an agent of the state," he said.
He listed other cases where medical examiner's offices "became agents of the state."
"I believe that's what happened here based on testimony of Ivey, Kaiser and Dr. Tracy," Teddy said.
Teddy asked Judge Boner not to make a decision on the examiners' testimonies Wednesday, but to think about it and make a ruling when court resumes Thursday.

Will election results mean more gridlock on budget, sequestration?
Wednesday - 11/7/2012, 5:03am EST
In the end, the results of Tuesday's national election produced few surprises.
President Barack Obama won his re-election bid by defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney. The makeup of the two houses of Congress remained virtually unchanged, with the Democrats maintaining a simple majority in the Senate and the Republicans staying firmly entrenched in the House of Representatives.
Robert Shea, former associate director of the Office of Management and Budget and a member of the Romney transition team, said for those following the polls leading up to the election, the outcome should come as no surprise.
"The polls were close," he said. "Most, I think, predicted this."
The 2012 election presented the American people with a stark choice between two philosophies, said Scott Lilly, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.
"They chose a path of moderation with President Obama," he said. "Unfortunately, I think they also made a decision with respect to the representatives they sent to the House of Representatives that we're going to continue to have a very divided government and a very unpleasant policy making environment. I think it's a mixed election and it really means a lot more of the same."
Sequestration on the horizon
President Obama's victory and the continuation of the status quo in the House and Senate indicate difficulties ahead as far as reaching resolution on some of the big issues awaiting lawmakers. The lame duck Congress faces sequestration — $1.2 trillion in automatic, across-the-board cuts scheduled to go into effect at the beginning of January.
"The Republican leadership in the House sent a warning just two days ago saying that if the President continues his policy on not allowing the Bush tax cuts on very high-end people to expire, there's going to be total warfare," Lilly said. "I interpret that to mean they're not going to go along with any kind of an agreement on sequestration. I think that we're still headed for a very uncertain result as we go over the cliff."
Shea was more optimistic about the possibility of progress when it comes to sequestration.
"I do think all indications are that we will punt, at least temporarily, on sequestration," Shea said. "That will buy us some time to produce a more lasting compromise." He expects the sequester to be pushed back six months. "That will buy us time for not a grand bargain, but a bargain."
The new Congress will also have to address agency appropriations bills for 2013. The current continuing resolution runs out in March.
Who will resolve the budget?
Since the Constitution places budgetary responsibility into the hands of Congress, Lilly said one should look there for an indication of progress or change.
"We have to look at who's been elected in the Congress," he said. "Frankly, I don't see much change there. I think we're going to continue to struggle primarily because of the extremely conservative bent that we have in the House of Representatives. The American people had a choice between two divergent views and they chose both of them. And the result of that is we're going to have a continued impasse on the budget."
Shea agreed there would be a difficult road ahead regarding the budget. "We've been at loggerheads," he said. "Unless some real leadership transpires, I think it's going to be tough to tackle a lot of the big issues that confront us. I'm looking for someone to step up, be an adult and bring some sense and reasonableness to the big issues that we need to decide."
As far as the impact of Obama's re-election on federal employees goes, Shea predicts only minor changes moving forward. "I think you''ll see modest, if any, changes to the management agenda, the degree to which federal employee issues are dealt with, I just don't see a lot of huge changes except at some of the senior policy positions," Shea said.
Shea said the second term of the Obama presidency would be one of greater compromise. "I think you'll see an approach to compromise that you hadn't seen in the past," he said. "The election, obviously, focused on our differences. I think now that the election is over we can focus on some of our common challenges and ways to resolve them that will hopefully bring about some important compromise."

Peareth's 77 Puts Women's Golf Within Striking Distance After Day One of Falcon Cup
September 20, 2010
BADIN, N.C. Three players each turned in rounds of 74 in round one of the 2010 Pfeiffer Falcon Cup held at the par-70, 6,057 yard Badin Inn Golf Resort. Despite breezy conditions, a dozen ladies carded rounds in the 70s as UNC-Pembroke leads Wingate University by two heading into Tuesdays final round.
Wingate saw two of their four scores go down as 74s with Ashley Denton (39/35) and Samantha Pugh-Gilder (33/41) holding down the top spot with UNC-Pembrokes Meghan Moore (35/39). Katja Dammann of UNCP and the Bulldogs Anna Lee Croom rounded out the top five, both tallying 75s in the opening round. Dammann finished one better on the back nine turning in 38-37 while Croom registered 35-40.
Two others schools are within ten shots heading into Tuesday with Newberry College just seven back with host Pfeiffer behind by 10. Maria Luz Besio led the Wolves with back-to-back 39s while the Lady Falcons were paced by Steph Peareths 77 (38/39).
The only five scores recorded in the 70s were Mount Olives Valentina Urquiola with a 76 followed by Shauna Walor of UNCP, Angela Gimenez of Pfeiffer and Taylor Weaver and Natalia Perez of Newberry each carding a 79.
Field stats saw the par-3, 178-yard 11th, register as the easiest hole averaging 3.58 strokes while the lengthy 543-yard, par-5 16th claimed the most shots averaging 6.48. With a field of 50, 43 birdies were recorded in the windy round one.
The final round from the Badin Inn Golf Resort will begin on Tuesday morning with a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m.

Sucrose is not a simple sugar (it's a glucose joined with a fructose). Most plants do not contain sucrose. Fruits are high in fructose, while grains are high in glucose. To make high fructose corn syrup, they remove part of the glucose in corn-syrup to get it to a 50/50 mixture so that it will taste more like sucrose, though it does taste a bit sweeter. None of these things are chemically altered in any way when the remove them from their plant based sources and put them into processed foods. However, they remove many other nutrients, as well as fiber, from the plants during this process. That is why processed foods aren't as nutritious. The sugar is the same.

Hundreds of parents and students milled around Northwoods Year-Round School of Technology and Innovation Thursday evening for the school's first orientation under its new format.
Beginning Monday, July 22,nearly 500 school children will attend the county's first year-round, technologically focused school.
"Everyone's excited," said Elbert Garvey, Northwoods' principal. "It's finally here after a year of planning."
Since October 2012, the school has been gradually introducing aspects of the new school, including the implementation of interactive SMART boards that allow students to write and draw digitally on a white board through a computer program.
When school let out at Northwoods Elementary School in June, work began to transform the building into the new year round school with a new name.
"We basically gutted the inside and refurnished it," said Steve Myers, Assistant Superintendent of Auxiliary and Information Services. "We even put in new paint, new windows and new carpet."
Though faculty returned a little over a month after their last teacher workday, many seemed enthusiastic about the changes occurring at Northwoods, including Ouida Mills, Media Center Assistant in her 18th year at the school.
"It will be a historical event on Monday and I'll be here," said Mills.
Mills said the historic implications of the first day of school at Northwoods won't be contained within the walls of the building. According to Mills, July 22 will be the beginning of a new era in Onslow County Schools.
"The county will move to year around for all schools," said Mills. "This is a trend that has taken off and the results of it are everywhere."
Erika Watson, a 4th grade teacher who has been at the school for 10 years, agreed. Before Watson came to North Carolina, she was a schoolteacher in the Washington, D.C. area, an area that was at the vanguard of year around schooling. Watson said the new format will bridge the learning gaps created by the traditional school year and allow her to prepare her students not only for the short run challenges of middle school but for the long term challenges of an evolving job market.
"I want my students to be willing to take chances. It takes guts to think outside the box when you're trying to fit in," said Watson. "I want to get them ready for jobs they don't even have yet."
Students at Northwoods will have access to their own tablet (grades K-1) or notebook (grades 2-5), a prospect that pleases one of Watson's new students, Christopher Tyson.
"It's great," said Christopher. "I didn't get to use computers at my school (in Okinawa)."
Christopher's parents, Chris and Jessica Tyson, agreed with their son, saying the new curriculum at Northwoods gave him the opportunity at receiving the best possible education in the county.
"I like the introduction to this technology in the classroom," said Jessica Tyson. "I think this will get him more engaged. When you do that, you get them set up for success."
The Tyson's were among the 425 families that put themselves in the lottery for a spot at the school. According to Garvey, 60 percent of the school's attendees will be from the district while the other 40 percent will come from outside the district. Of the 425 that entered the lottery, 160 (about 38 percent) were chosen. One of those 160 is Stormy Long, and engineer and mother of rising 4th grader, Kyla. Kyla will make the trip from Hubert every morning to attend school; a commute her mother said is well worth the time and resources.
"This is the wave of the future," said Long. "I like the idea that kids will be getting the ability to in collaborative groups with technology."
Garvey echoed Long's sentiments, adding that the new, year-round schedule of nine weeks in school and three weeks off will help prevent behavioral problems among students and burnout with teachers.
"This helps keep everyone fresh when you get those breaks," said Garvey. "It will give us time (faculty) time to regroup as a staff, look at data, analyze it and shift instruction so we can meet the needs of our students."
Like some of his other colleagues, Garvey believes what is starting at Northwoods will spread throughout Onslow County.
"If things go well here, others will go for the year-round calendar," said Garvey. "We're leading the way."

From Literary License's 12 Days of Books:
An Open Letter subscription is the perfect gift. It's cheap (just $65 for half a year and $120 for the full year), and the books are intelligently chosen and beautifully designed. Your giftee will thank you throughout the year as the books get delivered month after month, and you can feel good about supporting the cultural and intellectual vitality of our planet.
I'm an Open Letter subscriber, and I've been very pleased with the Open Letter books I've received this fall. See my reviews of Nobody's Home by Dubravka Ugresic (4/5) and The Taker and Other Stories by Rubem Fonseca (4.5/5).
There's little to say about a series of prose poems that willfully refuse to identify pronoun antecedents. Or perhaps there are a million things. The poems in _Morse, My Deaf Friend_— the chapbook by Miloš Djurdjević published by Ugly Duckling. . .
The Crimson Thread of Abandon is the first collection of short fiction available in English by the prolific Japanese writer and all-around avant-garde trickster Terayama Shūji, who died in 1983 at the age of 47. This collection would be important. . .
Last year, NYRB Classics introduced English-language readers to Catalan writer Josep Pla with Peter Bush's translation of The Gray Notebook. In that book, Pla wrote about life in Spain during an influenza outbreak soon after World War I, when. . .

What to make of Vano and Niko, the English translation of Erlom Akhvlediani's work of the same name, as well as the two other short books that comprise a sort of trilogy? Quick searches will inform the curious reader that. . .
The opening of Jón Gnarr's novel/memoir The Indian is a playful bit of extravagant ego, telling the traditional story of creation, where the "Let there be light!" moment is also the moment of his birth on January 2nd, 1967. Then. . .
Mahasweta Devi is not only one of the most prolific Bengali authors, but she's also an important activist. In fact, for Devi, the two seem to go together. As you can probably tell from the titles, she writes about women. . .
The prolific Spanish author Benito Pérez Galdós wrote his short novel, Tristana, during the closing years of the nineteenth century, a time when very few options were available to women of limited financial means who did not want a husband.. . .
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .

McCormack Named Conference Carolinas Scholar Athlete for Women's Soccer
December 8, 2010
HIGH POINT, NC – Conference Carolinas announces the Fall Scholar Athletes of the Year as recently voted on by the student-athlete affairs committee. This prestigious award is presented annually to a student-athlete in each sport for recognition of their outstanding academic and athletic achievements. Pfeiffer senior Sara McCormack was named the league's winner for women's soccer.
Each school submits candidates that are the best of the best for the conference from their sport while meeting certain qualifications for nomination. The qualifications include being a junior or senior student-athlete with a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale in all work completed at their member institution that have played in a conference sponsored sport. The GPA is calculated based on the student-athletes cumulative average through the previous semester and each student-athlete must have attended their member institution for at least one academic year. Additionally, in order to qualify for the award the student-athlete must be a current member of the All-Conference Carolinas First, Second, or Third Team that were recently selected by head coaches from conference member institutions that nominate and then vote upon award winners.
Women's Soccer
Sara McCormack was a pillar on the 2010 Pfeiffer University soccer team. The senior from Charlotte, NC, anchored and led a defense that posted a school-record seven-straight shutouts and held a scoreless streak of not allowing an opponent's goal for over 758 minutes building their way to the Conference Carolinas Tournament Championship title. McCormack was also an offensive threat and scored the lone semifinal match-winning goal in the 1-0 win at Queens University of Charlotte. The first team all-conference team member has a 3.6 GPA and holds a variety of leadership roles for her institution.

Legislators need to work this conflict out
There's a new "R" word being thrown around that has folks up in arms – "redistricting." State legislators cannot agree on new district lines for the state House and Senate, and now it appears some members of the House will be joining a lawsuit that could involve the Senate. Editor Don Whitten notes that legislators need to work this one out – and soon – or voters will take care of the problem in one or two upcoming elections. (March 23, 2011, Page 4)

(quote) Laura-56149 said: Not on there, the Diocese of Orange. We have a new Bishop and am wondering if that is why He is from Texas and is suppose to be conservative. His name is Bishop Kevin Vann. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles isn't either.I took a look on your diocese webpage and there's a small link on the upper right-hand side, right next to the picture of your bishop. When I clicked on this link, I don't see any 'events' listed, but your bishop did write a blog about the Fortnight.
I didn't find anything for the Fortnight under the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, except something from 2012.
Maybe this is part of the problem? Not all diocese are keeping their flock informed? Or maybe they're not being informed themselves, thus don't know to inform their flock? Or maybe the information is sent to each Bishop, but someone under him decides what he sees and doesn't see, and what is put on the diocese website and what isn't ??
