More lenses
Mount type
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We've analyzed the image quality of 33 lens models, around 70% of the current range using the native MFT mount, on the new Olympus OM-D EM-10. Read onto find out which of those lenses perform best and which, if any, you should try and avoid when paired with the new camera.
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 is the new flagship model in the range and features a newly-designed pro-grade body and a modified 16-Mpix sensor incorporating on-chip phase-detection pixels for backwards compatibility with the firm's 4:3 lenses. While we've not analyzed the performance of those earlier lenses on the E-M1, we have assessed the image quality of 33 models using the native MFT mount. Read onto find out which of those lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
As the equivalent to a 150-600mm this lens perhaps more so than any other in the range demonstrates just how much smaller MFT mount lenses can be compared with APS-C format offerings. Read on to see how well this highly portable model performs.
With the vagaries of photographing wildlife, the flexibility of a telephoto zoom would appear to be an attractive solution. However, image quality is often a compromise at the maximum aperture and longest focal length, typically the most crucial settings. We've pulled some lens data from our database and put together a round up of popular zoom lenses over the years (and made some comparisons with high performance primes). Read on to find out which models have the best image quality.
To website
The Lumix G Vario 100-300mm F4-5.6 OIS (or H-FS100300 in Panasonic-speak) is the longest and inevitably bulkiest Micro Four Thirds lens so far. This image-stabilized telezoom appears to be designed to tempt owners of Panasonic's popular series of FZ superzoom compacts to upgrade to the Lumix G system, with its 200-600mm equivalent range placing it firmly into the specialist 'sports and wildlife' category. However the 100mm 'short' end does make it a relatively poor complement to the 14-42mm or 14-45mm kit zooms, especally when compared to the smaller and cheaper 45-200mm F4-5.6.

not for the color deficient
I am relatively insensitive to colours, especially in the red-green corridor and your graphs make zero sense to me. The subtle intonation and colour you have in the >12 area and between 5 and 6 looks identical to me.
Is there any chance that you could allow the choice of the colour on one end so that they are differentiated sufficiently for everyone to be able to make sense of the results?

There are numerous stories associated with the reason for observing Upvaas, or fast, on Brihaspativar. Many of the stories are part of local folklore and stories vary from region to region.
Almost all stories suggest that those who perform pujas and Vrats on Thursdays will be blessed with wealth and happy life. In some stories, Lord Vishnu appears in the guise of a Sadhu to test the devotees on Thursdays. In other stories, it is Brihaspati. First the person in the story denies alms and is lethargic but later realizes his/her mistake and observes Thursday Vrat and pleases the Gods.
Those devotees fasting on the day wears yellow colored dress and offers yellow colored fruits and flowers to Vishnu and Brihaspati. Food is only consumed once and includes Chana Dal (Bengal Gram) and ghee. Basically, yellow colored food is eaten on the day.
In some regions, banana or plantain is worshipped and watered.
Monday Dedicated to Lord Shiva
About Tuesday Fasting Dedicated to Hanuman
Friday Dedicated to Santoshi Ma

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose or rule out a neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, or other neuroendocrine tumor; to monitor the effectiveness of treatment
When to Get Tested?
When your child has an abdominal mass, bruising around the eyes, trouble walking, or bone pain; when you have symptoms of increased catecholamine release, such as persistent or episodic high blood pressure, severe headaches, rapid heart rate, and sweating; when you have been treated for a neuroendocrine tumor, such as neuroblastoma or pheochromocytoma
Sample Required?
A 24-hour urine sample is preferred; sometimes a random urine sample is acceptable.
Test Preparation Needed?
This test is affected by caffeine, certain drugs, and stresses. Inform your doctor of any medications you are taking and follow any instructions you are given for things to avoid before sample collection.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) is one of the metabolites of the catecholamines epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine. This test measures the amount of VMA that is excreted into the urine, typically over a 24-hour period, to detect excess catecholamine production.
Catecholamines are a group of similar hormones produced in the central portion of the adrenal glands, the adrenal medulla. Adrenal glands are small triangular organs located on top of each kidney. The primary catecholamines that they release are dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. These hormones are released into the bloodstream in response to physical or emotional stress. They help transmit nerve impulses in the brain, increase glucose and fatty acid release for energy, dilate bronchioles, and dilate the pupils. Norepinephrine also constricts blood vessels, increasing blood pressure, and epinephrine increases heart rate and metabolism. After completing their actions, the catecholamines are metabolized to inactive compounds. Dopamine becomes homovanillic acid (HVA), norepinephrine breaks down into normetanephrine and VMA, and epinephrine becomes metanephrine and VMA. Both the hormones and their metabolites are excreted in the urine.
VMA is usually present in the urine in small fluctuating amounts that only increase appreciably during and shortly after the body is exposed to a stressor. Neuroblastomas, pheochromocytomas, and other neuroendocrine tumors, however, can produce large amounts of catecholamines, resulting in greatly increased concentrations of the hormones and their metabolites. The hormone releases can cause persistent hypertension, severe headaches, palpitations, sweating, nausea, anxiety, and tingling in the extremities.
Neuroblastomas are rare cancers but, according to the American Cancer Society, they are the most common cancers affecting infants. About 700 new cases are diagnosed each year, primarily in babies one to two years old, with up to 90% of cases occurring in children under the age of five. Rarely, a baby may be born with a neuroblastoma. Arising from primitive nerve cells, the cancers can be found in the abdomen, adrenal glands, neck, chest, or pelvis. About two-thirds of the time, the tumors will have metastasized and moved to other parts of the body by the time they are diagnosed. Once detected, many neuroblastomas can be successfully treated. In some cases, neuroblastomas may disappear on their own or their cells may spontaneously mature into normal nerves cells, turning the neuroblastoma into a benign ganglioneuroma or into a partially benign ganglioneuroblastoma.
Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors that arise primarily in the adrenal glands. According to the National Cancer Institute, they affect 2 to 8 people per million per year, primarily those in their thirties to fifties. Most pheochromocytomas are benign and do not spread from their original location, but some may metastasize and move to other organs within the body. Left untreated, they continue to grow and produce catecholamines, and hormone-related symptoms continue to worsen. Over time, the hypertension that the pheochromocytoma causes may damage body organs, such as the kidneys and heart, and raise the risk of an affected person having a stroke or heart attack. Pheochromocytomas are important to diagnose because they represent a potentially curable form of hypertension. In most cases, they can be removed and/or treated to reduce or eliminate the associated symptoms and complications.
The VMA test, along with other tests for catecholamines and their metabolites, can be used to help detect the presence of neuroblastomas and pheochromocytomas.
How is the sample collected for testing?
For a 24-hour urine collection, all of the urine produced during a 24-hour period should be saved. It is important that the sample be refrigerated during this time period. A single urine sample is collected for a random urine test.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
This test is affected by caffeine, certain drugs, and stresses. It is important to inform the health care provider of any medications being taken, including herbal supplements and over-the-counter products, and to follow any instructions provided for things to avoid before sample collection.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

My baby cries uncontrollably when she gets a shot. Is there anything I can do to make the experience less traumatic for her?
- Kate
Getting shots can be tough on you and your child, but the benefits are worth the effort. Fortunately, you can do a few things to make the experience less painful and stressful.
If your daughter is a newborn or under 5 months old, try a method called the "5 S's" immediately after she gets a vaccine. These are:
Research has shown that doing at least 4 of the 5 S's greatly reduces the amount of time infants cry after getting a shot. If you are OK with breastfeeding your daughter at the doctor's office (to fulfill the sucking recommendation), this alone can be an effective method of distracting your baby and calming her down. You might even be able to do it while your child gets the vaccine.
For an older baby or a toddler, swaddling or shushing might not work. Try letting your child sit on your lap during the shot and distract her with a toy, book, or song. Try not to look upset or concerned. Children can pick up on your anxiety, and it can make them anxious as well.
Following a shot, you may give your child ibuprofen to relieve the pain (as long as she is 6 months old or older). Acetaminophen is rarely used these days because it can make immunizations less effective if given immediately before or after an injection.
Also, don't forget to praise your child afterward. A little positive reinforcement can make the next trip to the doctor easier. When possible, try to do something fun after the appointment. A trip to the park or playground can make the overall immunization experience less unpleasant.

Actually not any particular "God", but something along the lines of "A higher power of our own understanding. " (Or misunderstanding)
I believe Sam Harris new book on "Free Will" has the potential to bring Agnostics like myself closer to an understanding of "How it works".
Being a long time member of a 12 step program (AA), I have been invoved with 1,000s of discussions about the AA 3rd and 11th steps ....
"Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him." and… "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out."
I have participated in thousands of meetings,listening to people describe, the admittedly self contradictary process, of how they regain control of their lives through the practice of these steps. Although I don't know how it works or the exact nature (or even approximate nature) of the higher power that is involved, I have absolutely no doubt that doing so, can somehow work more transformative miracles than are described in any "Holy Book" from any religion.
Somehow, Sams' theory of "Self Will" fits into this process. I have to think and "pray" about it more, but I believe it may hold the key to many answers concerning the nature of reality and "How it works".
I would love to have Sam put his creative prowess to work on this area and would be glad to assist from the AA side in any small way that might be helpful.

Oklahoma Wrongful Termination Laws
Enter Your Zip Code to Find an Employment Lawyer Near You
Enter Your Zip Code to Connect with a Lawyer Serving Your Area
Have you recently lost your job? If so, you might be wondering whether you have grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit against your former employer. In Oklahoma, as in other states, employees work at will. This means an employee can generally be fired at any time and for any reason, or for no reason at all.
But there are some exceptions to the at-will rule. If your Oklahoma employer fires you for discriminatory reasons, in violation of an employment contract, or in retaliation for exercising your rights, for example, you may have a legal claim against your employer for wrongful termination.
Every state's laws on wrongful termination are different. This article covers some of the legal grounds you might have for suing your employer in Oklahoma for wrongful termination. But it's not a comprehensive list of Oklahoma employment rights, which can change as courts issue new rulings and legislators pass or modify laws. To find out whether you have a legal claim for wrongful termination, speak to an experienced Oklahoma employment lawyer.
Discriminatory Firing
Under federal law, it is illegal for an employer to fire someone based on a protected characteristic, such as race or religion. Federal law prohibits employers from firing employees because of their race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age (if the employee is at least 40), disability, citizenship status, or genetic information. However, only employers with a minimum number of employees must comply with these laws. Most types of discrimination are prohibited once an employer has at least 15 employees; the minimum is 20 employees for age discrimination, and four employees for discrimination based on citizenship status.
Oklahoma law prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age (40 and older), disability, genetic information, military service, or status as a smoker or nonsmoker. Oklahoma employers are required to comply with these laws if they have at least one employee.
These laws also make it illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for asserting your rights. For example, if you complain to your company's HR department that you believe you were passed over for promotion because of your age, your employer may not discipline or fire you for your complaint. If you are fired for complaining of discrimination, participating in an investigation of a discrimination complaint (whether you or another employee made the complaint), or testifying in court, you have a retaliation claim against your former employer.
If you believe you were fired for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons, you must file a charge of discrimination with a government agency before you may proceed with a lawsuit. In Oklahoma, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws prohibiting discrimination; you can find out where to file a complaint at the EEOC's Field Offices page. The Oklahoma Office of Civil Rights Enforcement enforces the state's laws prohibiting discrimination.
Breach of Contract
If you have an employment contract promising you job security, you may not be an at-will employee. If, for example, you signed a written employment agreement stating that you could be fired only for good cause, you do not work at will. If your employer fired you without good cause, you have a legal claim for breach of contract. The same is true if, for example, your employer promised during your job interview that you would not be fired for the first year of your employment, but fired you sooner.
Fraud, Emotional Distress, or Other Tort Claims
Depending on the circumstances, you might be able to bring a "tort" (personal injury) lawsuit for wrongful termination. For example, some states allow fired employees to sue for fraud, violation of public policy, infliction of emotional distress, or other injuries. Which types of claims (if any) an employee can bring depends on decisions by state court judges, which means that the rules are always developing and changing. To find out whether you might have a valid tort claim in your particular situation, you'll need to talk to an experienced employment lawyer.
Oklahoma Employment Protections
Under federal and Oklahoma law, an employer cannot fire employees for exercising workplace rights that are guaranteed by law. Some of these protections are outlined below; to learn more about Oklahoma employment law, contact the office of the Oklahoma Department of Labor.
Wage and Hour Issues
The minimum wage in Oklahoma is $7.25 per hour. Federal law and the laws of some states allow employers to pay tipped employees a lower minimum wage, as long as they earn enough in tips to make up the difference. In Oklahoma, employers can pay tipped employees as little as half of the minimum wage, as long as that amount plus the employee's tips add up to at least the full minimum wage per hour.
Under federal and Oklahoma law, employees who work more than 40 hours a week may be eligible for overtime. Not every type of job is eligible for overtime, however.
Although some states require employers to offer meal or rest breaks, Oklahoma is not one of them. Under federal law, employers must pay for shorter employee breaks during the day (under 20 minutes). Employers also must pay their employees for any time during which they must work, even if the employer characterizes that time as a "break."
Time Off Work
State and federal laws give employees the right to take time off work for certain civic obligations and personal responsibilities. Employers may not discipline or fire workers for exercising these rights. In Oklahoma, these rights include:
- Military leave. Under federal law, employees have the right to take up to five years of leave to serve in the military, with the right to be reinstated when they return to work. (This law also prohibits discrimination against employees based on their military service, protects employees from discharge without good cause for up to one year after they return from military duty, and provides other protections; see Nolo's article Taking Military Leave for more information.) Oklahoma extends these rights to employees in the Oklahoma National Guard who are ordered to state active duty or full-time National Guard duty. Oklahoma also gives employees the right to take time off to attend state National Guard drills, instruction, encampment, maneuvers, ceremonies, exercises, or other duties.
- Jury duty. In Oklahoma, employees are entitled to unpaid leave for jury service, and employers may not require them to use annual, sick, or vacation leave. Employers who fire or penalize employees for jury duty may be subject to criminal sanctions and special damages in a wrongful termination lawsuit.
- Voting. Under Oklahoma law, employees are entitled to paid leave to vote. An employee is entitled to two hours off, unless more time is necessary because the employee lives at a great distance from the polling place. Time off is not required if the employee's workday begins at least three hours after the polls open or ends at least three hours before polls close.
- Family and medical leave. Oklahoma employees are protected by the federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). This law gives eligible employees who work for larger employees the right to take up to 12 weeks off, unpaid, every year for their own serious health condition, to care for a family member with a serious health condition, to care for a new child, or to handle certain practical matters arising out of a family member's military service; employees can take up to 26 weeks off in a single year to care for a family member who is seriously injured while serving in the military. Employees must be reinstated to the same position they previously held once their FMLA leave is over. To learn more, see Nolo's FMLA page.
What to Do Next
If you think you were fired illegally, talk to an Oklahoma employment lawyer. A lawyer can help you sort through the facts and assess the strength of any claims you may have against your former employer. A lawyer can explain your options and help you protect your rights, whether you decide to try to get your job back, negotiate a severance package, or take your former employer to court.

Marie has usurped the Duchy and exiled her older sister, Duchess Isabel. The Duchess's daughter, Rosalind, has been permitted to remain at court because she is the closest friend and cousin of Marie's only child, Celia. Orlando, a young gentleman of the kingdom who at first sight has fallen in love with Rosalind, is forced to flee his home after being persecuted by his older brother, Oliver. Marie becomes frightened that Rosalind is the true heir apparent banishes her from court. Celia and Rosalind decide to flee together accompanied by the jester, Touchstone, with Rosalind disguised as a young man and Celia disguised as a poor lady.
Rosalind now disguised as Ganymede ("Jove's own page"), and Celia, now disguised as Aliena (Latin for "stranger"), arrive in the Forest of Arden where the exiled Duchess now lives with some supporters, including Jacques, a melancholy figure, who is introduced to us weeping over the slaughter of a deer. "Ganymede" and "Aliena" do not immediately encounter the Duchess and her companions, as they meet up with Corin, an impoverished tenant, and offer to buy his master's crude cottage.
Orlando and his servant Adam meanwhile, find the Duchess and her followers and are soon living with them and posting simplistic poems for Rosalind on the trees. Rosalind, also in love with Orlando, meets him as Ganymede and pretends to counsel him to cure him of being in love. Ganymede says "he" will take Rosalind's place and "he" and Orlando can act out their relationship.
The shepherdess, Phoebe, with whom Silvius is in love, has fallen in love with Ganymede (Rosalind in disguise), though "Ganymede" continually shows that "he" is not interested in Phoebe. Touchstone, meanwhile, has fallen in love with the dull-witted shepherdess, Audrey, and tries to woo her, but eventually is forced to be married first. William, another shepherd, attempts to marry Audrey as well, but is stopped by Touchstone, who threatens to kill him "a hundred and fifty ways".
Finally, Silvius, Phoebe, Ganymede, and Orlando are brought together in an argument with each other over who will get whom. Ganymede says he will solve the problem, having Orlando promise to marry Rosalind, and Phoebe promise to marry Silvius if she cannot marry Ganymede.
Orlando sees Oliver in the forest and rescues him from a lioness, causing Oliver to repent for mistreating Orlando. Oliver meets Aliena (Celia's false identity) and falls in love with her, and they agree to marry. Orlando and Rosalind, Oliver and Celia, Silvius and Phoebe, and Touchstone and Audrey all are married in the final scene, after which they discover that Marie also has repented her faults, deciding to restore her legitimate sister to the Duchy and adopt a religious life. Jacques, ever melancholic, declines their invitation to return to the court preferring to stay in the forest and to adopt a religious life as well. Rosalind speaks an epilogue to the audience, commending the play to both men and women in the audience.
"OSP is truly my greatest accomplishment that I took from Lesley University. Never having acted in a Shakespeare play, I learned more about acting under Dr. Annie Pluto's direction than any other theatre group. My confidence not only as a performer, but as a student and person grew enormously with the wonderful people involved in the Oxford Street Players. All the other contributing teachers with OSP truly took the specific talents of each individual involved and made them shine."
- Shealan Anderson"The Play, how can you articulate a feeling? The theater has always been a fascination of mine and going to Lesley University was my first chance to actually get a chance to step on a stage. It was a feeling of freedom and escape. And being on stage is only half of what makes theater great. The people and especially the director can make or break a show. Luckily being a part of the OSP feels like a family. Your cast members and you may bicker like siblings but there's always the undercurrent of love. Dr. Annie Pluto is like my mom away from home, she expects a lot from you, but it's only because she can see the potential in each member of her cast."

There will be a club meeting on Monday, July 30th at 7pm at the BBC restaurant 300 West Main St (this is NOT the same as the BBC tap room by Slugger Field).
2012 Tim Selinske US Masters
The major focus of this meeting will be the US Masters. Dave will update us on how things are going and what he needs help with. One area where help is definitely needed is getting more hole sponsors. I've attached a sponsor sheet that you can download, print and take to local businesses to help start a conversation with them. If you have a caddy book from the CVO, bring that so you can show them what it looks like.
We will also need volunteers to help at the courses during the tournament doing all sorts of things like spotting, filling up water jugs, helping the course TD's, etc. If you can volunteer all three days that would be awesome, but even volunteering one day would be a big help. Dave will update us with all the tasks we need volunteers for at the meeting.
Click here to download the sponsor sheet: 2012Masters_SponsorLevels.pdf
New Courses
While there are number of potential courses on the horizon (Charlestown, Taylorsville, Tom Sawyer, etc.), none of these involve Metro Parks. At the meeting we'll talk with Dave and Steve about their experiences and knowledge they've gained dealing with Metro Parks. My hope is to gather a handful of people who can (along with Dave and Steve's assistance) work with Metro Parks to get two new courses approved, and identify a location for one 9 hole and one 18 hole course in Louisville. This is not a short process and will involve going to many meetings, but this is how to go about getting new courses.
Your Ideas & Suggestions
There is no end to what the club can do. Club functions like cook outs, clinics and other organized events. Disc golf education like working with schools, kids and the community.
People like Martin, Judge and I can only do so much so if you want to see something happen you're going to have to step up and help make it happen. Please bring your ideas and come prepared to turn them into a reality.
There's already a thread started where we're brainstorming about the upcoming meeting, click here to take part in the discussion.
BTW I'm leaving today for vacation, see you guys in a week and a half.

Waylock Leads Softball to Game One Win at Brevard; Lady Falcons Fall in 7th of Game Two
February 27, 2011
Story Courtesy of Brevard Sports Information
BREVARD, N.C. - The Brevard College softball team split a doubleheader with the Pfeiffer University Falcons on Sunday afternoon at the Brevard College Softball Field. The Tornados came back in the opener from down 2-0 to force extra innings but fell 3-2 in eight innings of play. The Tornados let up a 4-0 lead in the final two innings but were able to edge the Falcons 5-4 with a walk-off win in the bottom of the seventh. The Tornados moved to 11-5 on the season after splitting with Pfeiffer, while the Falcons are now 7-9 on the season.
Game One: Pfeiffer 3, Brevard 2 (8 Innings)
Brevard was unable to get the bats going in the first game as they didnt plate a run until the bottom of the fourth, but Pfeiffer was able to get on the board early scoring in the opening inning. Sarah Waylock hit an RBI single, scoring Melanie Conklin from second to give Pfeiffer the early 1-0 lead.
The Falcons added to their lead in the third when Waylock drove in another run. She hit an RBI double to right centerfield scoring Conklin again, putting Pfeiffer up 2-0.
Brevard was able to answer in the fourth. Becca Curlee singled home Chelsi Mallory making it 2-1 in favor of the Falcons.
Curlee doubled to lead off the seventh, and moved to third on a wild pitch, setting the stage for Sarah Carlos. Carlos hit an RBI single up the middle to tie things up 2-2.
After getting a quick two outs in the top of the eighth, Martika Elmore was touched by Kirsten Patterson for a double, plating the runner placed at second in extra innings, which gave the Falcons the 3-2 edge.
Elmore was the Tornados starter and pitched all eight innings. She fell to 5-3 on the season after allowing three runs, one earned, on seven hits. She set down 11 on strikes and walked just three in the loss. Conklin recorded the win for Pfeiffer in relief. She went 1.2 innings and didnt allow a hit.
Curlee led the offense going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI, while Carlos provided the other RBI for the Tornados.
Game Two: Brevard 5, Pfeiffer 4
Brevard was able to jump out on top in the second game in the third when they struck first. Meredith Davenport led the third off with a single to left field. Brittany Fowler was able to pick up a base hit on an attempted sacrifice bunt, moving Davenport to second. After Kayla Dorsey moved both runners up a bag with a sacrifice bunt, Mallory stepped into the batters box.
Mallory slugged a triple to right centerfield scoring both Davenport and Fowler, making it 2-0 in favor of the Tornados. Mallory later scored on a wild pitch in the same inning to make it 3-0.
The Tornados struck again in the fourth when Ally Davenport made it on after she singled up the middle. Davenport moved up to second on another wild pitch, and then advanced to third when her twin-sister Meredith Davenport grounded out. Fowler stepped into the batters box and singled to left field, scoring Ally Davenport from third.
Alyssa Miller took a no-hitter into the sixth inning for the Tornados before she was touched in the nightcap of the twinbill. The Falcons were able to score on a single by Andrea Wagner, which plated Celia Dew to make it 4-1 as they went into the last inning of the game.
Pfeiffer tied it up in the seventh when Dew hit a three-run homer to dead centerfield, plating Conklin, Amber Johnson, and herself. It was 4-4 as the Tornados went to bat in the bottom of the seventh.
Brittany Fowler led off the inning and reached on an error by the second baseman. Kayla Dorsey was able to move Fowler to second on a sacrifice bunt. Chelsi Mallory advanced Fowler to third in the next at-bat by grounding out to second, setting the table for Kayla Clemens. Clemens roped a single back up the middle to plate the final run of the game, giving Brevard a 5-4 win over the Falcons in the second game.

James Clapper, director, National Intelligence
Listen to the full interview.
Jump to main content.
Friday - 2/15/2013, 9:21am EST
Listen to the full interview.
Defense leaders have been raising the alarm about sequestration, the automatic budget cuts slated to go into effect next month that would lop nearly 10 percent from the Defense budget.
But the head of the nation's intelligence community — a conglomeration of 17 agencies across six Cabinet departments — has mostly kept quiet. No longer.
Speaking to Federal News Radio's Francis Rose, Director of National Intelligence Gen. James Clapper said the automatic spending cuts, coming so late in the fiscal year, would "dramatically" reduce the funding needed to carry out critical intelligence work.
"There's been a lot of publicity about the impact on defense and the hollow force and that sort of thing," Clapper said. "Well, it has an equally damaging impact on the intelligence community if, in fact, we have to do it."
The situation is further complicated because some elements of the National Intelligence Program are funded by defense appropriations (meaning they will be subject to about a 9 percent cut) and some budget items are funded by nondefense appropriations (subject to about 7 percent in cuts).
The top-line budget for the National Intelligence Program is $55 billion, however specifics about the intelligence budget remain classified.
Clapper spelled out a few key — and unclassified — areas that would be hit particularly hard by the budget cuts.
Clapper said he is pursuing all possible avenues to mitigate the impact of the cuts, particularly employee furloughs.
"I'm going to do all we can in the [intelligence community], particularly as it impacts critical mission functions, not to furlough people for the simple reason that the most important resource we have in the intelligence community is our people," he said. "And we simply can't separate the people from the mission."
Clapper said he'll be meeting with the leaders of the various intelligence agencies next week to hear how they've planned for the cuts.
"In almost 50 years in intelligence, I don't remember when we've had a more diverse array of threats and crisis situations around the world to deal with and, in the face of that, doing this sequestration thing is quite damaging," he added.
Clapper said he may seek reprogramming authority from Congress — the ability to shift funds specifically appropriated for one project or program — which is typically a "tough process," because it requires a number of congressional committees with oversight authority to agree on the shift.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has suggested giving the Defense Department automatic reprogramming authority to shift funds. But that's controversial in Congress because it would circumvent congressional oversight.
"Obviously, anything that would give me more latitude, more flexibility, any relief at all from the straitjacket we're in at the current time would be very helpful," Clapper said.

Best Uses
Comments about Shimano Alivio M412 Multiclamp Front Derailleur:
This thing was a pain to install. The clamp destroyed a brand new cable because it has sharp edges and bit right through a jagwire hyper cable.
I had to use a hobby hacksaw to grind down the clamp and then use sandpaper to smooth.
Made for an angry install. I would not recommend this unless like me you have no choice but to get this front derailleur. Shame on you Shimano.
Comments about Shimano Alivio M412 Multiclamp Front Derailleur:
Bought this to replace an older version of the same front derailleur that had stripped a bolt over time. It's pretty easy to mount, and I definitely needed the provided spacers. It has a little sticker on the side that shows you where exactly to mount it next to the crankset.
The first time I mounted this on my IBEX Alpine, I didn't use the spacers and it was too loose to work properly, so I unmounted it and put the spacers on. I then re-screwed it on, and found that the mounting screw was stripped and wouldn't fit anymore (lame...), but I had some extra screws and nuts lying around that made it work.

SWANSBORO – Swansboro's undefeated record was in the balance Thursday night.
After dropping the third set to fall behind Jacksonville 2-1, the Pirates huddled a few feet from the court and had a heart-to-heart with each other.
"We all got intense into it. We all knew this is our home court," senior Kylie Cleve said. "We needed to show out and show what we really are capable of because I really don't feel like we've shown our full potential throughout our matches so far."
Whether the Pirates reached their potential or not, this much was clear: They turned it on, claiming the final two sets by a combined 16 points – the first three sets were decided by a total of seven points – to outlast the Cardinals 3-2.
In a battle of two 4-0 teams in the Coastal 3-A Conference, Swansboro claimed the opening set 25-23 and then dropped the next two, 25-22 and 25-23, before winning the final two 25-18 and 15-6 to run its record to 9-0.
Jacksonville fell to 6-4 overall.
"They took us to our end," said Cleve, who had 12 kills, 5 aces and 3 digs. "It's definitely the most competitive match we've played. We're extremely happy."
Both coaches agreed it was a state-championship quality match. Impossible returns became possible as players stretched and slid across the floor with their arms outstretched and fists upraised looking like someone thumbing for a ride.
There were dinks and dunks, serves that looked like line drives or dive bombers, and kills that went through, around or over blocks. And while there were errors, there were many long rallies as both teams fought for hard-won points.
"This was like a state championship game," Swansboro coach Kim Miller said. "Their libero (Dani Hayden), oh, my God, she was all over the place. The other middle back was all over the place. It was truly a chess match. Both teams were playing their hearts out."
Jacksonville coach Melinda Rakes agreed.
"It was a very, very good match. My hat's off to them," she said. "We haven't seen competition like this the entire season. I think when they come into our house (Oct. 8) it'll be an interesting game."
The Cardinals jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the opening set, but Swansboro rallied to go up 19-12 and held off a late charge to go up 1-0 on an out of bounds return by JHS, which surged to an 8-2 lead in the second set only to see the Pirates rally to tie it at 19 on a net violation.
But a net serve gave JHS a one-point lead and the Cardinals clinched the second set when setter Keenan Marks surprised the Pirates by making like she was going to set the ball and instead dumped it over the net with her back to the net to an open spot for the clinching point.
The third set was the most competitive of the night, featuring six lead changes and six ties. Swansboro led 4-0 and JHS led by as many as three. With the score tied at 22, Kayla Malu blocked a shot by Megan Malone to give JHS the lead for good, with a wide serve giving the Cardinals the winning point.
At that point, it appears the momentum was on Jacksonville's side.
"I would have said that it shifted," Rakes said. "But we came out in that fourth set and we shanked I think the first three passes and it came back to bite us. The girls mentally know that that's not one of their strongest points and they were trying to make the adjustments.
"And then they (the Pirates) did a very good job of taking Keenan out of the match. Any ball that was not a hit ball was pushed to our setter, which took her out of our match (and) changed our game plan dramatically. So we'll have to learn how to work around that."
On this night, however, the Pirates used the strategy to win. Swansboro trailed only once – at 1-0 in the fifth set – in the final two sets, although there were three ties in the fourth set. The last came at 18, and the Pirates scored the final seven points – including three consecutive aces by Kasey Sines and a Cleve kill to force the decisive fifth set.
After a wide serve gave JHS a 1-0 lead in the fifth set, the Pirates scored 14 of the next 18 points en route to claiming the match. Leading the way was Cleve with two kills and a block and Ashley Oriol, who scored three of her team's final four points on soaring kills.
"We persevered tonight," Miller said. "My ladies, they trust each other, they believe in each other. No matter how big of a hole that we dig they have that confidence and they know they have each other's back that they can come back and pull it off.
"That's something rare for teenagers, and that's something's that's gotten them this far. And if we continue to do that the sky is endless for us."

Customer Raves & Reviews
Menu card used as a thank you card at the reception
Quality of the menu card is great; thick paper with a smooth finish. We decided to use this menu card as a thank you card at the reception. On one side we listed one of our favorite quotes and an overall "thank you", wishing everyone a wonderful evening as they help us celebrate our big day. On the back side, we added the answers to our crossword puzzle that was found in the program during our ceremony. We were able to add two custom graphics. The design team was fabulous in making this work.
Beautiful card!
I love this design! I was able to personalize it the way I wanted. I also purchased my Save the Dates and wedding invitations through Magnet Street...I love all of them!
Menus came out perfect
This is the second item I have purchased from them and it came out as perfect as my 'save the date' magnets did. I can't wait for my guests to see my menus!
Absolutely Stunning!
I absolutely loved these. The size is perfect and it was sooo easy to customize the design how I wanted. The quality was great! They look a lot more expensive then they were. The printing was great, text sizes were perfect. They came very quickly and I am excited to share these menu cards with my guests at my wedding. Thank you Magnetstreet for making this process so easy for me.
Exactly what I wanted!
These menus completely matched what I'd dreamed up in my head! With the customization I was able to coordinate them with everything I'd already put together and everything came out beautifully. I really couldn't be happier!

She might be cash-strapped, but there is one thing Octo-Mom won't do for a dollar: porn.
RadarOnline.com has learned that despite a lucrative offer from a porn producer to host a Las Vegas awards show, Nadya Suleman has rejected the job.
"She thinks porn is demeaning to women," Octo-Mom's lawyer Jeff Czech told RadarOnline.com, in an exclusive interview.
"Nayda did not even consider the offer from Vivid for one second."

The porn producer had wanted the mother-of-fourteen to host the AVN Awards in Las Vegas.
Yet despite her frantic scramble to get her finances in order, as she faced foreclosure on her Californian home, Czech said: "There is no way she is going to do that. She isn't going to be involved with them in any way."

Octo-Mom won't be going on welfare to feed and clothe her kids, as was feared, Czech added.
"Nayda is current on her mortgage," the lawyer told RadarOnline.com.
