Merck Chromolith HPLC Columns, Merck KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany) Performance Si (Silica Gel) Column is a reliable and dependable addition to the Merck Chromatography family of products. Combining top-notch and uncompromising quality with an affordable price, the Merck Chromolith HPLC Columns, Merck KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany) Performance Si (Silica Gel) Column 1.51465.0001/ 48219-880 can fulfill your laboratory needs while still offering a great value for the money.
Product Category Description:
Suitable for high performance separation of acidic, basic, nonpolar, and metal chelating compounds. Ideal as a first line routine column in the laboratory.
Chromolith column speed comes from a highly porous monolithic silica gel rod clad to the column shell, which allows for high flow rates over a very large surface area. Superior, reproducible separations occur in less time than with packed-particle columns.
CapRod* capillary columns can achieve separations at 1 to 3µL/min., rather than 200 to 400nL/min. for conventional media on a standard nano-LC capillary. Flash and SpeedROD columns are ideal for high-speed separations of simple mixtures. Ideal for use in research laboratories, especially those specializing in combinatorial chemistry.
Performance columns provide rapid, high-quality separation of complex mixtures. The Performance validation kit is ideal for use in quality control or validation laboratories. Kit contains three HPLC columns, each derived from a different batch in order to compare the batch-to-batch reproducibility and quality.
Guard cartridges are suitable for reversed-phase chromatography because they are all chemically modified in terms of carrying hydrophobic n-octadecyl groups on the surface of the monolithic silica rod. Guard cartridges consist of three pieces. Guard cartridge kits consist of three pieces of guard cartridges, a cartridge holder, and a wrench. The column coupler features two 10-32 male connectors for female inlets of column.

MIT Press, technology review
There are plenty of reasons why electric cars aren't catching on, but one problem is certain: the batteries cost far too much.For electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to compete with gas-powered cars, battery prices need to drop by between 50 and 80 percent, according to recent estimates by the U.S. Department of Energy. Getting there might require inventing entirely new kinds of batteries, but there's also a strong case that improvements to the lithium-ion batteries that power the current generation of electric vehicles may be enough.The United States could have the capacity by 2015 to produce enough battery packs for 500,000 cars. But this year, due to high prices, plug-in vehicle sales won't even reach a tenth of that in the United States. As a result, advanced battery makers

They're dances at the heart of cultures nearly 6,000 miles away, but dancer Roxanne McKinney has brought them to Jacksonville.
"I wanted to share this with the community," McKinneysaid. "It's a popular dance that people admire."
McKinney, a native Pilipino, has been dancing for much of her life, first learning Hawaiian dances from a cousin. According to McKinney, these early lessons came in handy for her throughout her school years, when dancing was a crucial part of physical education for Pilipino school children
"Eighty percent of P.E. was dancing back then," McKinneysaid. "I already knew a lot of it by the time I started school."
McKinney made her way to the United Statesin 1990, first to Camp Pendleton, Calif., then to Beaufort in 1993. For years, McKinneytook a hiatus from Polynesian dancing, but after moving to Myrtle Beach, S.C., in the early 2000s, McKinneyrekindled her love for it when she met a dancer known as Chief Kamu (Kamu meaning "teacher" in the Hawaiian language).
"He asked me if I wanted to join his group (now known as Chief Kamu's Fire and Hula Show) and I said 'yes'," said McKinney. "I was able to remember things and pick it back up."
McKinneyfound her way to Jacksonvillein 2010; and on June 26 of this year, McKinneystarted giving lessons at the USO. McKinneysaid Polynesian dances like the hula are not only good for the body, but for the mind and spirit.
"Hula helps you focus and unwind," McKinneysaid. "You have to concentrate on the words of the music because you're telling a story through your dance movies. You're telling the story of a culture."
McKinney said the sort of dancing she's offering is an alternative to more established dance workouts in the area like Zumba, but the moves she's teaching her students are as ancient as the cultures themselves.
"You can't really modernize this kind of dancing," McKinneysaid. "These dances have been preserved."
An alternative to the normal exercise regiment is exactly what one of McKinney's students, Ashley Boone, was looking for. Boone, who works with McKinneyat the ChildDevelopmentCenteraboard New River Air Station, found out about the lessons when McKinneyshared photos of her dancing.
"It was different, something besides Zumba or going to the gym," Boone said. "It's a good mind relaxer, but it's very demanding."
For Kaleyne Rayes, a student at JacksonvilleCommonsMiddle School, the classes have not only been a way to get some exercise, but a way to connect with her Chamorro (native people of Guam) heritage.
"It's been a lot of fun," Rayes said. "It's exciting learning new dances every week."
McKinneysaid her hope is to expose the community to something new and experience the benefits Polynesian dances have to offer.
"Hopefully, they'll get the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of this dancing," McKinneysaid.

SNOW HILL — Greene County's technology may begin to be probed.
The county is one of a few that may be part of a telecommunication infrastructure inventory project provided by N.C. Broadband, a division of the N.C. Department of Commerce.
The program, funded by a grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, will include collecting data on broadband availability across the state and planning efforts.
That program was once under the e-NC Authority, according to a summary to the State Broadband Data and Development grant program updated application for Jan. 1, 2012 – Oct. 1, 2014.
The e-NC Authority was awarded more than $6.6 million to implement the program. But the legislature didn't extend the sunset date, so the authority ceased to exist after Dec. 31, 2011.
The Appropriations Act directed the state's broadband authority to transfer the grant to the Department of Commerce. The transfer did not change the goals and activities of the program.
Interim County Manager Richard Hicks explained the program to the county board this week after meeting with Keith Conover, the technical assistance director for NC Broadband.
"They've got a program," Hicks said, "where they want to do a complete inventory of about 11 or 12 counties to see what is available in each county, and our county was selected as one of the possible alternatives."
Potential counties are selected based on their broadband connectivity levels, high unemployment and geographic diversity — basically, counties that could benefit the most from the planning resource.
"And once they do the inventory," he said, "that kind of tells you where your gaps are and what your needs are."
The unmet needs of both business and residential areas will be assessed, as well as assets — such as towers and tall buildings — that could be used to encourage broadband providers to serve those areas, especially to increase economic development.
The inventories will provide verification on the collected data for future planning and funding and will be used for planning purposes under the program through the federal grant.
"Staff time would be the cost to the county," Hicks said.
Besides Internet capabilities, cable and satellite would be included, he said.
The board unanimously accepted the offer to potentially be included in the project.
The inventory process is expected to take up to three months and doesn't guarantee an immediate solution for broadband installation.
N.C. Broadband expects to release the requests for proposals in the near future and the timeline for awarding contracts to vendors in the fall. Inventories will be completed as late as the spring.

Breakout box:
The remaining funds from the State Broadband Data and Development grant program are to be used in 2012-14 as follows:
- $1,841,147 — Continued broadband data collection, validation and display
- $65,678 — remaining broadband planning funds, to be carried out under the State Broadband Capacity Building program
- $571,880 — State Broadband Capacity Building funding, to support operations of the newly-created broadband division of the NC Department of Commerce
- $1,021,083 — Technical Assistance Program, supporting extension of on-the-ground technical assistance for local communities, and a research symposium to examine best practices for measuring the impact of broadband deployment and capacity building on community and economic development
- $160,097 — Continued implementation and completion of the Lifeline Online LITE-UP pilot program developed to improve computer ownership and Internet usage
- $386,074 — To partner with the N.C. Center for Geographic Information and Analysis to identify, then apply, new best practices and automation tools in a statewide address file update

Softball Sweeps Barton to Secure First Two Wins of Season Vaulting to Top of League Standings
February 20, 2011
Story Courtesy of Barton Sports Information
WILSON, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University softball team scored 11 of its combined 15 runs in its last at bats to sweep host Barton College by scores of 9-5 and 6-1 (8) on Sunday afternoon at the Gillette Athletic Complex. The Lady Falcons (2-6 Overall) used late inning heroics in each game for their first two wins on the season. The Lady Bulldogs (3-9) surrendered a total of nine unearned runs on the day. The doubleheader marked the Conference Carolinas openers for both programs.
Barton junior Autumn Herrin (Pasadena, Md.) led all players with five hits and five assists, including several highlight reel plays at shortstop. Senior Sarah Waylock (Cary, Ill.) and juniors Melanie Conklin (Wellington, Ohio) and Kirsten Patterson (Anthem, Ariz.) all went deep to pace Pfeiffer. Conklin and Patterson each totaled four RBI.
GAME ONE: Pfeiffer 9, Barton 5
The Bulldogs maintained a 5-1 lead late but the Falcons scored twice in the sixth inning and six times in the seventh to rally for the 9-5 win in the opener. Waylock put the visitors on the board first with a solo shot to right to lead off the top of the fourth but Barton responded with five runs in the home half. The Bulldogs capitalized on three Falcon errors in the frame with clutch hits that included a two-run bloop single by junior Stacy Wade (Snow Hill, N.C.) and RBI-singles by Herrin and junior Kendall Street (Bertie, N.C.).
Pfeiffer cut the deficit in half with back-to-back doubles in the sixth including a two-run two bagger by Conklin before soaring into the lead with six runs in the seventh. The outburst featured a bases loaded walk, two sacrifice flies, and a pair of run producing singles. Due to two outfield errors, four of the runs were unearned. Sophomore Elizabeth Webb (Wilson, N.C.) was tagged with the loss allowing eight runs (four earned) in the final 3 2/3. Herrin was a perfect 3-for-3 including a double. Wade followed with two singles.
GAME TWO: Pfeiffer 6, Barton 1 (8 innings)
The only error of the second game kept the eighth inning going for Pfeiffer and the Falcons took advantage with five unearned runs to win the nightcap 6-1.
With the bases full and two outs, freshman Hannah Jackson (Greensboro, N.C.) put the visitors ahead with a seeing-eyed, two-run single just past the reach of the first baseman. Patterson added three insurance runs with a deep blast to left. Jackson produced a game-high three singles. Junior Emily Jordan (Goldsboro, N.C.) once again pitched well enough to win for the Lady Bulldogs in another complete game performance. Jordan only allowed one earned run, a solo home to Conklin in the third, but suffered the loss.
Conklin picked up the win for Pfeiffer not issuing a base on balls over eight innings. Conklin and Jordan each had five strikeouts for their respective clubs. BCs lone run came in the fourth. After a single by Webb and a double by freshman Samantha Colein (Hyattsville, Md.), Herrin knocked in Webb with a single to left. Webb and Herrin accounted for four of the Bulldogs six hits, lacing two singles apiece.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Tuesday heading to UNC-Pembroke for a 2:00 p.m. twinbill.

Editor's Note: This article contains headlines and excerpts from articles written in 1941. We apologize if the language is offensive to some of our readers. It is intended for historical analysis and does not reflect the feelings of anyone currently associated with the Daily Times Leader.
The two-time Little Ten Conference Champions Starkville Yellowjackets made front page news in the December 6, 1941 edition of the Daily Times Leader.
The powerhouse defeated Newton 26-14, and other than a few common headlines about Germany and Japan, no one could have fathomed the headlines that followed the day after.
On December 7, 1941 Japanese air forces launched a surprise attack on three different strategic locations, Pearl Harbor taking the worst of those hits. Hawaii was bombed, but every square inch of U.S. territory felt the effects of those bombs for the the next five years.
West Point lost soldiers. West Point families lost soldiers in the December 7 attack and the World War that followed.
"Japs at War with U.S." was printed in a bold and large Hearst-like font size at the top of the December 7 edition of the Daily Times Leader, still a vital source for national and international news during the time.
"Roosevelt Summons Cabinet" was the line immediately below with a sidebar that read "Tokyo Reveals that Japan is Now at War with the United States."
Readers had probably already forgotten about the small December 6 headline that read "Japan Recalls Two Attaches from Washington Embassy." FDR's "power cut plan" was a distant memory as Americans in small towns like West Point struggled to make sense of what had happened thousands of miles away.
Editor Edgar G. Harris and News Editor Sid Harris kept readers informed of the military buildup that followed.
The World Becomes Smaller
Lost in the shuffle were the day-to-day activities in West Point.
Mrs. FraFak Campbell and Mrs. Joe Duncan co-hosted a Christmas meeting at the New Century Club, but if the meeting did take place, it likely did not involve the normal chatter of the Christmas spirit like years before.
Travel was limited for many people in the early 1940s. Hawaii must have seemed an eternity away from West Point before that day.
The Daily Times Leader reports on December 7 that Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Carpenter "will spend a week in Cuba, Ala. with Mrs. Carpenter's sister."
Today's drive to Meridian is a little over an hour, but it made news on December 7, 1941 that "Mrs. Fain Carpenter and daughter Mary Louise will spend the weekend in Meridian with Mrs. Carpenter's mother."
The War Closes In
By December 9, 1941, the Daily Times Leader was reporting that "Mississippi is Pledged to All-Out War."
Further down the page reads, "Columbus Air Force Base Guard Doubled."
The DTL did not leave out Franklin D. Roosevelt's historic address to Congress, asking the body to declare war on Japan for the attack.
Peppered throughout the headlines were issues that still exist today. Issues of teachers salaries and pensions, the war in Libya and massive spending bills were spread around the talk of war.
By December 11, the West Point daily reported "Congress Calls New Axis Bluff: Nation Now at War with Germany and Italy."
Also on that day, 90 year-old Eupora resident Jim Walton sent a telegraph to President Roosevelt, offering his services as a potato peeler for the Army.
"I am past 90 and answered the Confederate call 'from 16 to 65 in late 1864,'" he wrote. "I am offering you my services as potato peeler so as to relieve some able-bodied soldier for active service in the American-Japanese war."
On December 12, Mardi Gras is cancelled, the Army announces it wants more men, and J.W. Sanders celebrates birthday No. 92.
Meanwhile, the Delta State Teachers College "Basketballers" took down the Rebels of Ole Miss 30-29.
On December 15, the first West Point citizens get the worst news from Hawaii.
L.E. Nelson, the brother of West Point sisters Mrs. Andrew Horton and Mr.s Jesker Farr is reported to be presumed dead after his ship, the U.S.S. Cassin went into the sea on December 7. Nelson was from Alabama.
"He visited West Point a little over a year ago," the paper reported, " and he formed numerous acquaintances here."
Lost Forever
Aside from radio broadcasts, most Americans in 1941 received their news from the local paper. Front-page pictures and wire stories from around the globe brought the most important events of the century to life for citizens in towns like West Point.
Technology has usurped print as the source for such news. Internet and television have rendered national and global news in small town papers irrelevant.
Even better developed means of travel has helped make the world smaller.
Our own 223rd Engineer Battalion received and will continue to receive much press in the last few months, as the soldiers have executed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003.
The Daily Times Leader hopes to provide a living historical record of the soldiers' accomplishments so that 70 years from today, this paper might be able to offer its readers a brief glimpse into how this city made its mark on the world.

The U.S. Energy Department signed off on a recent plan to export liquefied natural gas from an export terminal in Louisiana. It's the third such approval for LNG exports targeting countries that do not have a free trade agreement with the United States.
The government is required to speed up FTA export decisions but is more careful with its consideration for non-FTA deals.
A report Thursday from FBR Capital Markets said the government could move quickly on as many as four LNG export deals like the one in Louisiana before it slows the process.
The report said the Energy Department would likely take a look at the market effects of LNG exports when it publishes its annual energy outlook later this year.
"The next outlook could serve as an opportunity to pause the approval process and evaluate the cumulative impact of approvals as well as changes in the market outlook," the Platts news service quoted the market report as saying.
Critics of LNG exports say it could lead to higher domestic natural gas prices and force consumers to use cheaper coal. Supporters say it would give the United States a competitive edge on the global market.
There are 19 applications for LNG exports still under review.

|First National Bike to School Day a Great Success!
In honor of the first National Bike to School Day, the Safe Routes to School program led by All Children's Hospital hosted Bike to School Events in Pinellas, Pasco and Polk Counties.
All three schools saw an increase in the number of children who typically bike to school as well as those wearing bicycle helmets. For the children who participated, bicycle helmets were properly fitted and reflective wrist and ankle bands were given away, along with educational materials and healthy snacks.
Bike to School day also offered educators an opportunity to reinforce important health and safety messages, such as:
In addition, two more schools will host Bike to School events on May 10th. They are Deer Park Elementary School in Pasco County, and Summerfield Crossings Elementary School in Hillsborough County. More than 100 children are expected to bike to school and will receive similar safety education.
Many thanks go out to participating school staff and volunteers for making the first National Bike to School Day a success!

Most recently, Elliott has been an Assistant Professor of Physical Education, Wellness and Sport at Union University from 2007 to the present. She will continue to maintain a teaching load in the Union sports management program. Prior to becoming a full-time teacher, Elliot was a Resident Director at Union from 2004-2007 in the McAfee Residence Complex.

Toomey, the mother of Elliott, spent 25 years at King accumulating a 749-229 record, which is sixth in the NAIA in total wins and seventh in the NAIA in winning percentage for a coaching career.
Elliott earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from King College in 1995 where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. Elliott also holds two Masters' degrees. The first was a Master of Education in Counseling from the University of Louisville (Ky.) in 1997, followed by a Master of Arts in Physical Education, Sports Management concentration from East Tennessee State University in 1999.
As a student-athlete, Elliot was a four-year starter on the volleyball team at King from 1991-1994. She was voted into the King College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008 as part of the 1994 volleyball team, the only volleyball team to be inducted thus far.

During her years as assistant coach, she helped lead her team to two NAIA National Tournaments, including one National Team Sportsmanship Award. Elliott also won four NCCAA District Tournaments and played in four NCCAA National Tournaments (two third-place finishes) as a player.
Coach Elliott's desire is to see the members of the Union volleyball team grow as players, but more importantly, as young women. She views her role of coach as one to challenge and mentor team members spiritually, academically, and athletically.
Elliott and her husband, Michael, reside in Jackson and are the parents of Isaac and Anna. They are active members of Englewood Baptist Church, where Michael serves as the Minister to Families with Children.

Honeycutt, at an April 25 meeting of the Alamance County Department of Social Services board, said it is unclear exactly which consolidation model the
The General Assembly passed state House Bill 438 last summer, which allows options to counties for joining the boards overseeing local health and social services departments. The county also has the leeway to keep the boards the same with no consolidation.
The bill allows counties to combine their social services and health departments into a consolidated human services agency.
Hagood said he isn't recommending which model the
If the commissioners decided to make changes, Hagood said the consolidation wouldn't be implemented until after July 1 by working with DSS Director Susan Osborne and Health Department Director Barry Bass.
Hagood said there would likely be minimal impact on staffing levels since each department's programs are specialized and have strict guidelines on funding and reimbursements. For example,
The county's first consolidation option would be to assume direct control of the health and social services boards by adopting a resolution to dissolve the boards and transfer their powers and duties to the commissioners. The county would have to appoint a health advisory committee with the same membership currently required for the health board under this option.
The county's second option would be to create a consolidated human services agency governed by a consolidated human services board appointed by the commissioners. There is no health advisory committee required under this option.
The final option for the county would be to create a consolidated human services agency governed directly by the commissioners. An appointed health advisory committee is required under this option.
The bill provides guidelines on how many members are allowed on a consolidated human services board. The consolidated board cannot exceed 25 members. The commissioners would be required to establish a nominating committee to select the board members.
Counties with a population of at least 400,000, including Wake and
Hagood said
"Until the board of commissioners decides which governance model will be implemented, we will continue to seek areas of collaboration and efficiencies, whenever and where ever possible," Bass said.

Jason Cone said something about Lenoir County Schools' approach to autism was unique.
The behavior psychologist with Behavior Consultation and Psychological Services — the company that partners with LCS autism specialists — has worked with the school system for six years and said officials understand that both social and academic skills have to be addressed in autistic students.
"A lot of times when we go into schools systems, the county is really concerned about their academic growth," Cone said. "Lenoir County is not only concerned about that but understands that for students with autism, they have a social communication disorder."
He said it's important these students learn social skills and ways to communicate, and the earlier, the more effective.
"That's just as vital as teaching them those math skills or those science skills," Cone said. "I think (LCS) does a good job of understanding that with their students."
LCS has recognized National Autism Awareness Month this April by selling bracelets, posting flyers and addressing the topic during this month's school board meeting.
However, the most significant acknowledgement was hiring a second autism specialist to serve the 106 children in the school system identified with autism.
"We need to be in classrooms and the schools even more," said Danielle Stroud, LCS Exceptional Children's program director. "We can only do but so much. We've added another position, so we've doubled our resources."
Julia Shaw started as an autism specialist Monday to join Betty Pelletier.
As the only previous designated autism personnel in the LCS, Pelletier was responsible for individualized learning plans for students, classroom observations after teachers made referrals and home visits — all of which she was often accompanied by a representative from Behavior Consultation and Psychological Services.
The team also prepares specialized learning plans for each student with autism using evidence-based research.
"Every child with autism is different," Pelletier said. "We need to make the public aware. If you see this child screaming and having a fit in the mall, they may not just be a bad child having a temper tantrum. This child may have autism and all the lights and noises are too much for him to handle."
The schools try to identify students with autism by his or her eighth birthday, unless there is a clear indication of the disorder.
Some preschool students are considered developmentally delayed, and although they've showed signs and characteristics of autism, they haven't been identified as autistic.
Stroud said there are 14 signs of autism that are good indicators for parents, including inappropriate laughing or giggling or echoing words and phrases.
"(Parents) know we're bringing them the resources and we're doing the work to help find solutions for their kids," she said. "If we're truly going to be successful, the home and the school need to be on the same page and following the same kinds of programs."
Dana Woods is a parent who took the initiative to start an Autism Society Chapter after her 9-year-old son Twhy Craig was diagnosed with autism five years ago.
"The school has helped," she said, "but I feel as a parent, he needs extra. We can't just rely on the school; you have to do outside research."
She said Twhy has been in various therapy classes and she networks with other parents during appointments.
She noticed there were limited autism resources when she moved back to her hometown of Kinston after living in Georgia, which motivated her to start the Lenoir-Jones Counties Chapter of the Autism Society.
"As a parent, I like being an advocate," Woods said.

Sen. Harry Brown, R-Onslow, is the primary sponsor of a bill that would establish as a special revenue fund the Shallow Draft Inlet Dredging Fund. Money for the fund would come from proposed increases in
Brown said keeping waterways such as New River Inlet and Bogue Inlet navigable is important to the state's economy, with recreational boaters, commercial vessels and fishermen among the many users.
"No one likes an increase. I'm sure there will be some opposition; there always is. But I don't know where else to get the money," he said. "If our inlets are that important to us then we've got to find the money, and for
Currently it costs $15 a year to register a vessel with the state or $40 for a three-year period and applies to all vessels requiring numbering by the state regardless of size.
Under Senate Bill 58, the fees would increase and be implemented according to the length of the vessel.
The fee for a one-year period would remain $15 for vessels less than 14 feet in length and be set at $25 for a vessel more than 14 feet in length but less than 20 feet; $50 for those 20 feet or more but less than 26 feet; $100 for a vessel 26 feet or more but less than 40 feet; and $150 for those more than $40 feet in length.
The fee for a three-year period would be $45 for vessels less than 14 feet in length; $75 for a vessel more than 14 feet in length but less than 20 feet; $150 for those 20 feet or more but less than 26 feet; $300 for a vessel 26 feet or more but less than 40 feet; and $450 for those more than 40 feet in length.
Also, the fee for new or renewed certificates of title will increase from $20 to $30.
"That has not changed since the '80s," Brown said.
Brown said the additional funds generated will go to the Shallow Draft Inlets fund, but the changes proposed in the bill would not impact revenue now going to the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commissioner's Boating Account from certificate and titling provisions.
The Commission's Boating Account, which receives money from certificates and titling, as well as motor fuel excise tax revenues, is used for activities relating to boating and water safety and for boating access improvements.
The need for a dedicated source of funds for dredging the state's shallow draft inlets has become a concern with the disappearance of federal dollars for such projects. Brown said there is currently a provision in the bill that calls for state funds to be matched by local governments for dredging projects.
If approved, the bill would become effective July 1.

LA GRANGE — Having to play a conference game during the first week of the season was a bad enough situation for North Lenoir.
Facing Clayton Cleveland right-hander Kodi Whitley made it that much worse.
The senior right-hander dominated from start to finish, allowing just four hits and striking out 11 as the Rams knocked off the Hawks 5-1 Tuesday in the Eastern Carolina 3A Conference opener for both teams.
Whitley, a transfer from West Johnston, surrendered a second-inning double to Justin Shimer and singles in the fifth to Landon Letchworth, Sammy West and Luke Jackson.
Shimer came around to score North Lenoir's lone run on an infield error, but the trio of base hits in the fifth yielded nothing as Letchworth was thrown out trying to stretch his leadoff hit into a double, and Tyler Smith grounded out sharply to first with two outs and runners on the corners.
"Their pitcher deserves a lot of credit," NL coach Jim Montague said. "He threw all of his pitches for strikes and his location was outstanding. He threw the ball just where he wanted and we kept waiting for him to throw it where we wanted."
Despite giving up just four hits and one walk, Whitley had to work out of trouble in several innings because of a defense that committed four errors. The only run against him was unearned.
Hawks starter Letchworth was almost as good. The Rams (3-1, 1-0) also managed just four hits, but made every one count. Cleveland also played sound fundamental baseball, executing a pair of sacrifice bunts that led to runs.
Another attempted sacrifice, by left fielder Alan Stephenson, ended up as an infield hit and helped key a three-run third inning.
The frame featured a hit batsman, a walk, a successful sacrifice, a wild pitch, Stephenson's bunt single and then a two-run base hit to left by Michael Hales.
The Rams also tallied a run in the sixth without benefit of a hit.
Letchworth was the victim of Cleveland's solid play.
"Landon did an excellent job, both on the mound, and in fielding his position," Montague said. "The problem was that a couple of times he had field other people's positions."
Letchworth finished with two walks and five whiffs. Smith pitched the sixth and Jackson finished up with a scoreless seventh.
"We're young and talented, but we've got some kids who are going to have adjust to life at the varsity level," said Montague. "Today they were tested and they didn't make those adjustments. Hopefully we were humbled. If not, it's going to be a long season."
The Hawks (1-1, 0-1) have a short turnaround as they must travel to county rival South Lenoir today.
Cleveland 013 001 0—5 4 4

Growing up in North America, like many others, I originally thought of acupuncture as some exotic placebo, questionably effective and a little frightening. My first direct exposure came following a hard marathon in Tochigi, Japan, in November 2006. Looking for a post-race massage, I found that organizers were instead offering complimentary post-race acupuncture treatments. I decided to give it a go and was pleasantly surprised by the experience; a flicker of pain as the needles made contact, a dull pressure as the acupuncturist tapped the needles in position and then the sensations fading to a feeling of relaxation. A year later, I suffered a major injury to my right thigh, which showed no signs of improvement after nearly six months of medical and massage treatments. I turned to acupuncture and after only two-and-a-half months, was back to the point of running one of my fastest half marathons. My thigh injury has never recurred, and acupuncture has become a regular part of my training regimen.
Despite anecdotal evidence such as my own experience, acupuncture remains relatively uncommon as a means of treatment for runners in North America. Whether it is because of its invasive nature or lack of rigorous scientific methodology, acupuncture's benefits compared to massage, chiropractic and other forms of alternative treatment are little known in the West. In Japan, acupuncture is as common as massage in treating the ailments that afflict marathoners. Idaten, a Tokyo clinic that offers acupuncture alongside massage and physical therapy, treats the country's best professional and university runners as well as amateurs. "Roughly 60-70% of our clients are runners," says the clinic's director, Jiro Konno. "Many of the elite runners get acupuncture treatments twice a week, but even the amateur runners we treat come in once a week."
|New York-based acupuncturist Russ Stram treats elite Japanese marathoner Arata Fujiwara
Although several U.S.-based elites, including Deena Kastor and Shannon Rowbury, incorporate acupuncture as a means of treating an existing ailment, acupuncture may prove most beneficial as preventative medicine. Arata Fujiwara (pictured), 2010 Ottawa Marathon champion and course record-holder, combines frequent acupuncture treatments with massage and general physical therapy.
Chinese Origins and Japanese Evolution
Acupuncture, the treatment of pain and injury using thin, disposable needles, has a history dating back thousands of years in China. Although its practice and theory have evolved since being introduced to Japan, both styles share a similar focus: reducing pain and muscle imbalances by treating specific points of the body. Russ Stram, a New York-based licensed acupuncturist at Brill Physical Therapy, practices a mixed style. "Acupuncture follows Chinese medicine theory with the philosophy of restoring balance to the body," he explains. "A practitioner takes a thorough history and examines the body for tight and painful areas, choosing points based on the meridian point system."
The meridian system follows the Chinese belief that the body is an integrated whole with interconnections between disparate areas that are accessible at specific meridian points. In Chinese acupuncture, which uses relatively thick needles and deep penetration to access deep muscles, it is common for pain in one area to be treated by needles in a completely different part of the body by the meridian lines. The aim of treatment is to restore the body's overall balance.
The Japanese method involves thinner needles and superficial penetration, but more significantly, it focuses on stimulating trigger points specific to each individual muscle. Hiroshi Kawaguchi, an acupuncturist who operates the Yamate Street Acupuncture Clinic in Tokyo's trendy Nakameguro neighborhood and who treated Joan Benoit-Samuelson last year at her appearance on a Japanese game show, describes the Japanese method this way: "When dealing with a sports injury, we approach it in terms of the whole muscle and its tendon connections. When a muscle is tired, the contraction of its fibers is limited. Acupuncture helps to relax the muscle and restore the natural motion of the fibers."

|An Amendment to Provide Additional Funding for State Highways, County Roads, City Streets, Bridges, and Other Surface Transportation.[2][3]
Ballot title
|For a proposed constitutional amendment to levy a temporary sales and use tax of one-half (0.5%) for state highways and bridges, county roads, bridges and other surface transportation, and city streets, bridges and other surface transportation, with the state's portion to secure state of Arkansas general obligation four-lane highway construction and improvement bonds in the total principal amount not to exceed one billion three hundred million dollars ($1,300,000,000) for the purpose of constructing and improving four-lane highways in the state of Arkansas; prescribing the terms and conditions for the issuance of such bonds which will mature and be paid in full in approximately ten (10) years, which payment in full shall terminate the temporary sales and use tax; describing the sources of repayment of the bonds; permanently dedicating a portion of the proceeds derived from the existing motor fuel and distillate fuel taxes to the state aid street fund; and prescribing other matters pertaining thereto[2][3]
The following is information obtained from the supporting side of the measure:
- Madison Murphy, chairman of the Arkansas Highway Commission and leader of the Move Arkansas Forward campaign, stated that the measure needed support and was essential to the state's future: "Arkansans recently took advantage of an opportunity to support more jobs and improve the Arkansas economy through much-needed highway construction — without raising taxes. Last November, more than 80 percent of Arkansas voters supported the Arkansas Highway Commission as it continues to find ways to work around the state's flawed funding system. That vote approved allowing the Commission to modernize more than 400 miles of Arkansas interstates with the re-issue of Garvee bonds for a new Interstate Rehabilitation Program. The next step in the statewide improvement program is to continue constructing four-lane highways connecting all parts of the state, plus provide new local turnback revenue to every city and county to repair county roads and fix city streets. To do that, we need to pass Proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 1 on Nov. 6."[4]
The following is information obtained from the opposing side of the measure:
- While not specifically giving his opposition to the measure, Carroll County Judge Sam Barr stated that the measure was unlikely to pass. Barr commented: "It has no chance of passing. People are strapped. They can't pay their bills. I don't know how the state is going to improve its roads without it. All of our roads are in need of repair but the money is not there. In my mind, there are two ways: try to find the money or try to get along. I am here for whatever the people want."[5]
- Teresa Oelke, state director for the Arkansas chapter of Americans for Prosperity, stated, "Authorizing even higher taxes so government can spend more money to create jobs is like trying to dig yourself out of a hole by continuing to dig. Arkansas Issue 1's motto should be 'dig faster'...Instead of demanding an ever-larger portion of a family's paycheck and driving up their cost of everyday life with higher taxes, our leaders must look at every other option first. Arkansas families have led by example. Reducing spending in some areas and prioritizing spending overall is something we have done since the beginning of the economic downturn. State government must focus on being efficient, cut wasteful spending and burdensome red tape, and let Arkansas job-creators and small businesses lead our state to better days. Then those essential responsibilities, like roads and bridges, won't be paid for with continued economic decline."[4]

A majority vote is required in both chambers of the Arkansas State Legislature to refer a measure to the ballot, according to Section 22, Article 19 of the Arkansas Constitution. The Arkansas Legislature can only refer up to three legislative referrals to the ballot each election year.
The measure was introduced to the state legislature during session. Before introducing the measure, House Speaker Robert Moore stated that he would ask lawmakers to consider the proposal.[7]
House of Representatives
The proposed sales tax increase measure was first filed with the Arkansas House of Representatives on February 2, 2011 and read for the first time in the chamber the next day. On March 21, 2011, the measure passed a House committee, after the it was amended four times, and was then sent to the House for full consideration. It was then approved by the chamber with a tally of 62 to 25, sending the measure to the Arkansas State Senate for consideration. You can read which state representative voted for and against the resolution here.
Since the State House approved the amendment, the measure then had to be approved by the Arkansas State Senate in order to be placed on the ballot. After the bill was sent to the Senate on March 24, 2011, it was read for the first time that day.
The Senate then approved the measure one week later on March 31, 2011 with a vote of 22-10, effectively placing it on the ballot. Here is a list of the senate votes. The measure was on the November 2012 ballot.[8][9][10]

It's something that's become such a problem that the mayor of Paris has decided to try to tackle the issue, and I share his concerns, although progress is evidentially slow-going. But what confounds me, as well as others, is why do so many people in Paris smoke? And why is the number of smokers increasing in France, when the US and other countries are seeing a decline?

How to Choose the Right Brooklyn Law Firm for Your Case ☆
How to Choose the Right Brooklyn Law Firm for Your Case
Criminal and personal injury cases are some of the most complicated cases to deal with in Brooklyn or any other place. A personal injury case, for example, can cause undesirable suffering and medical care expenses to the victim since it can drag for years before completion. Therefore, choosing the right law firm with dedicated Brooklyn personal injury lawyers and criminal attorneys in Brooklyn for representation is very important.
Some cases involving critical personal injuries such as spinal injury, brain injury, burn or injuries resulting to wrongful death can be complicated, protracted and expensive. Other cases such as those involving DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) may require experienced DWI Brooklyn attorneys or DWI Brooklyn lawyers to challenge the aspects of DWI. Here are some tips for choosing the right Brooklyn law firm for your case.
Using Brooklyn Law Firms Referral Services
Using Brooklyn local bar associations can provide valuable referral information about choosing the right Brooklyn law firm. Such referral services can provide leads to some of the best Brooklyn personal injury attorneys and Brooklyn business lawyers. Also, important legal resources such as attorneys' professional skills, qualifications, levels of expertise and ratings can be obtained by consulting reputable attorney agencies about criminal lawyers in Brooklyn.
References from Friends and Family
Another way to find a reputable Brooklyn law firm is through references from friends and family members who have used such law firms before. A friend who previously received exceptional legal services from an outstanding Brooklyn personal injury attorney or a criminal lawyer in Brooklyn would not hesitate to recommend such services to others. Friends or family members are good sources of unbiased information and experiences about the services and reputation of Brooklyn law firms and their attorneys.
Research Widely
Conducting personal research can help in finding the right Brooklyn law firm with experienced Brooklyn personal injury lawyers and criminal attorneys in Brooklyn. One way to do this is to make a list of 3 to 5 prospective law firms and schedule an interview with their personal injury and criminal lawyers. A personal contact with prospective Brooklyn personal injury lawyers and criminal attorneys in Brooklyn can provide a first-hand perspective of what to expect in case representation.
Choose a Local Law Firm
Some personal injury and criminal cases such as rape and weapon charges have huge financial implications. Choosing a local law firm can lessen the financial burden by saving on travelling costs and time. Also, hiring a local lawyer such as a local Brooklyn personal injury attorney or a criminal lawyer in Brooklyn will be advantageous since the lawyer is experienced on various state laws and familiar with various state judgments. This might not be the case when you hire an attorney from outside of Brooklyn, for example, New Jersey business attorneys or lawyers.

|ACH Announces Heart Screening Program for Hillsborough County High School Students
Coach Tony Dungy Supports Program that Saves Young Lives through Education and Awareness
All Children's Specialty Physicians, in collaboration with The Cardiac Arrhythmia Syndromes (CAS) Foundation and Hillsborough County Public Schools today unveiled The SafeBeat Initiative. The Initiative will begin an awareness campaign to provide heart screenings to all Hillsborough County high school students beginning March 2010, at no charge to the student, parent, or school district.
"The SafeBeat Initiative will offer heart screening services to more than 60,000 Hillsborough County high school students beginning now and lasting through the 2011-2012 school year," said Gwen Luney, Hillsborough County Public Schools Assistant Superintendent for Student Services & Federal Programs. "This is a voluntary, opt-in program that requires parental consent. The results will be private and reported only to the parent."
"As immediate past School Board Chair, I was honored to spearhead this project that has the potential to literally save the lives of our students in the Tampa Bay area," said Carol Kurdell, member of the Hillsborough County School Board. "Our board voted unanimously to host the first free heart screening program ever conducted in Florida and we are excited to begin this process today."
Each year more than 7,000 children and adolescents in the United States die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest. In fact, 4 out of 5 victims of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) appeared healthy and had no symptoms prior to death. Without symptoms, an EKG (electrocardiogram) based heart screening is the best way to detect the potential life threatening condition.
"A doctor's code of ethics requires us to do all that we can do to preserve life and I strongly believe that the SafeBeat Initiative does exactly that," said Gul Dadlani, M.D., Medical Director of Pediatric Cardiology at All Children's Hospital. "The total research data that is collected through the Initiative will be invaluable and the first of its kind in this field. Not only will the initiative save lives, it will provide unique statistics to benefit our children and their children."
"I have done a lot of work with young people all my life," said Tony Dungy, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach. "There are too many incredibly sad stories of young players dying on the athletic field due to undetected heart problems. "Heart screenings saves lives and I applaud the SafeBeat Initiative in creating awareness and education here in Florida," continued Dungy, who attended the Initiative's unveiling.
The heart screening program includes four components; Education, Emergency Action Plans, Heart Screening Services and Follow-up Care. Students will have a risk factor assessment, CPR and AED training, blood pressure, body mass index and electrocardiogram (ECG) tests conducted, and expedited appointments through All Children's Specialty Physicians including those who are under or un-insured. No student will be denied follow-up care based on their ability to pay.
"I lost my son Marc due to a cardiac abnormality, said Jayne Vining, who started the CAS Foundation in Marc's memory. "No parent should ever go through this, especially when measures are readily available to prevent sudden death in our children and grandchildren."
"The SafeBeat Initiative has brought together the medical and education community in order to provide this life saving test," said Michelle Shimberg, President of the Plant High School Parent Teacher Student Association. "It is important that we as parents become involved by serving as advocates and getting our kids signed up for screening – there is no excuse not to do it today."
Plant High School, where the first of seven local high school screenings will take place, begins Monday, March 29 through Friday, April 2. Each high school will screen for a full week and during the school day. The remaining schools include Robinson (April 5-9), Steinbrenner (April 19-23), Middleton (April 26-30), Alonso (May 3-7), King (May 17-21) and Leto (May 24-28). Parents or guardians are encouraged to go to www.SafeBeat.org to register their high school student to get tested.
"We are excited to have seven Hillsborough County high schools scheduled for onsite screenings this school year," said Bill Hogan, Florida Director of the SafeBeat Initiative. "We look forward to scheduling the remaining Hillsborough County high schools for their screenings beginning in the new school year and will be back again at Plant and all of the high schools in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 school years. It is our goal to start screening in other local county high schools within the All Children's Hospital services area over the next year as well."
Attendees and media were also shown a demonstration of the heart screening process by Pete Grasso, Florida Operation's Manager of the SafeBeat Initiative, Casey Yanson, EKG Technician, the SafeBeat Initiative, and Connor Shimberg, a senior at Plant High School.

Decent Pocket Cam Under $100?
by GigabyteGeek - 2/11/12 11:57 AM
Hey all! I carry my pro dslr with me everywhere just so I have something to snap pics and I'm so tired of that. It's big and bulky and I want to reserve it for actual shoots.
I want something I can stick in my pocket and keep with me every day so if I want to just snap a casual pick of my buddies and I or something, I can do it on the fly.
Basically, the kind of pics I'd just snap here and there with my camera phone if I had one lol I don't so it's either I carry my huge dslr all the time or I never have pictures of anything.
Since it's just for everyday nonsense like snapping a pic of my toe for no reason, I don't need it to have ridiculously high quality specs or resolution. It just can't be so horrible that pics are always dark and blurred.
I don't care about features and lens and effects and all that. Just a basic little point and shoot that's got decent clarity and exposure on auto.
Beyond that, it just needs to be small, preferably have a regular mini usb out (not that stupid micro B), and have an adapter, not be solely battery powered.
It'd be nice if I can use SD cards too. Any suggestions?

Super Bowl Ads last year reportedly did not perform well. The most unsuccessful commercials have been from car makers. Measured on brand awareness and purchase intent the Super Bowl 2014 ads performed below average according to a Communicus survey. If we take a look at last year's Superbowl ads it is actually no surprise. The Super Bowl commercials did not stand out that much anymore from TV commercials you can see all year round with a few exceptions.
Super Bowl advertisers need to up their game for Super Bow 2015 to not mess up the reputation of Super Bowl Ads. The Super Bowl Ad line-up needs to include the funniest, most outrageous, sexiest, most emotional and action-richest ads of the year. And at least Carl's Jr. got the message and will air a very hot Super Bowl 2015 ad staring Charlotte McKinney.
I4U News covers Super Bowl ads since many years and despite Super Bowl ad slots getting more expense the quality of the Super Bowl ads decline. Even the huge number of celebrities appearing in Super Bowl ads last year has not helped quality. Some brands lost interest that delivered several of the best Super Bowl ads of past years including Volkswagen.
This makes room for newcomers who have a fresh shot at Super Bowl commercials. It is a risky undertaking, but a small company betting its entire annual marketing budget into a Super Bowl ad can take that company to the next level.
It has apparently worked for SquareSpace. The web development platform is back again this year. The first SquareSpace Super Bowl ad last year must have worked. It even triggered the competition to join the Super Bowl Ad line-up this year. Wix.com will challenge SquareSpace with its own Super Bowl 2015 ad.
The excitement is building for the Super Bowl 2015 ads and the first fully released Super Bowl 2015 Ads like the Mercedes Super Bowl 2015 commercial are must see Superbowl commercials. There will be about 60 Super Bowl commercials. You can watch all ads as soon as they are released in the I4U News Super Bowl for Geeks coverage.
Watch the Super Bowl 2015 Ads online now in the most complete Super Bowl 2015 Ad video gallery on the web. I4U News will again bring you full coverage of the Super Bowl 2015 Ads.
