The pens are full of ink and the letter of intents are ready to be signed across the area this morning.
As part of National Signing Day, several high school athletes are ready to take the next step in their careers.
Highlighting the activity will be six football players at Starkville High School who helped the Yellowjackets reach the Class 5A State Championship game last season.
"They led us to the promise land," SHS football coach Jamie Mitchell said. "It's the first group of seniors through here in quite a while to play for a state championship.
"I think our seniors (in 2010) did a great job of laying a foundation and this group of seniors took it and built on it. We're losing some really good players out of that group, but it's always an honor to see those guys go on and get a chance to play at the next level."
Offensive and defensive lineman Eric Rogers of the Jackets committed to Delta State Monday morning and plans to make it official today. Expected to sign junior college scholarships for the Yellowjackets are Corey Cannon, Stanley Childs, Kelvin Young, Dennis Ware and Latajah Bush.
At Eupora, offensive lineman Daulton Newman will sign with John Hopkins University.
Football players at other area schools may make their choices in the near future, while there are also some soccer scholarships to be signed today.View more articles in:

EUPORA – Eupora High School's Daulton Newman will put it all on the line once again in college.
After spending his high school career on the offensive line for the Eagles and coach Junior Graham, Newman will do the same for John Hopkins University.
Newman signed with John Hopkins Wednesday in the EHS library.
John Hopkins resides in Baltimore, Maryland and is well known for its academics and is Division III in football.
Although the distance from home is more than he likes, academics was the main draw for Newman who could not pass up the opportunity.
"That is going to be a little bit of a hinderance," Newman said of the distance from home. "I like being close to home, but that education, you just can't pass it up. I know that I am going to be able to make that transition. It's in Baltimore and it's 17 hours away or something like that and I believe that I am going to be able to do it. I am going to suffer four years if I have to because that education is quarter million dollars education."
Graham is excited for Newman and is glad he gets to go to a school with a good emphasis on academics.
"It is an exciting time," Graham said. "I have had a lot of kids sign over my 10 years coaching. It's rare when you have an opportunity to play at a place like John Hopkins. When you graduate, you have something extremely special. They play good football too, so that is good on both sides. Daulton, he's ready. This is really a by product of what he has put in, in the classroom and what he has done for us on the playing fields."
Newman was invited to attend junior day in the summer of 2011 and he liked what he saw from the school, coaching staff and players.
"It all started when I went up there the summer," Newman said. "After my junior year, I went to junior day. They invited me up there. I went on a tour and I got to talk to some players and met with the coaching staff. I just loved everything about the campus, about the coaching staff and about those players I saw. They were really good people and I really felt like I fit in."
Newman has played for Graham for four years and got playing time immediately. Graham knows that Newman can succeed at John Hopkins on the field.
"Daulton was thrown in the fire as a 9th grader due to an injury and he had to play," Graham said. "It has been a growing process. He has taken a lot of chewings, but he has a lot of pats on the back. We have had a chance to see him really grow as a football player and as a person."
Wednesday seemed surreal to Newman, who never dreamed of playing football at a four-year school, but is happy about the opportunity.
"I never did," Newman said of the thought of playing in college. "I always knew I wanted to play football. I never knew how far I would go though. I am just really happy that I got this and I am just thanking everybody around me, my coaches, my teammates and God most importantly. It's been quite a ride but I am glad it's come to this."
Newman was quick to point out how Graham set a good example for him and he is grateful for what he has done and giving him the ability to get this scholarship.
"Coach Graham has (been) a leader for me, and an example to always go by," Newman said. "He has always been there and every time I needed him, he has always been there. He has always helped me with football and everything else. I am really grateful to him. He has meant a lot to me."

i think if this happens it has the potential to be one of the best matches on PPV. Because these two have great chemistry and it would be really
NO WAY OUT predictions
Steel cage match-john cena & Big show
i know people are not excited about this match but i think that it can give us something to work with and it wont be that bad to watch. But even though im a big cena fan i think some how big show will snatch the victory.
World championship match- Sheamus & Alberto Del Rio?
i heard about ADR
i watch raw and smackdown every single week and im a very big fan.
But what really disapionts me is the quality in matches. i know that they cant go ppv quality on the shows but they can give us better matches then cena vs cole or brodus clay squishing opponents in 5 seconds.
i think that they can at least give the superstars 5 or 6 minutes to produce somthing better than an 1

Are you a smoker? Do you want to quit smoking?
Most smokers have, at some point, thought about quitting smoking. In fact many smokers think about quitting every time they light up a cigarette. There are many reasons smokers want to quit. Personal health is often at the top of the list, however, concerns regarding the health of family members because of second hand smoke also play a role in the desire to quit. There are factors such as how much money cigarettes cost today, not being able to smoke in public places any longer, and how the smell of smoke lingers on clothes, hair, and other personal items.
It doesn't matter if one of these reasons applies to you or if they all do – we want to help you quit!
University Health Services - Office of Health Promotion is offers smoking cessation programs to the Kent State University faculty, staff and student community.

The English Department offers a choice of three major concentrations: Literary Studies, Creative Writing, and Film/Media Studies. Students intending to major in English who are unsure of their concentration choice are encouraged to begin their coursework with ENGL 198 Ways of Reading, ENGL 199 Survey of English and American Literature and a 200-level literature course.
The English Department urges majors to take the required survey course (ENGL 199) as early as possible in their major coursework, as this requirement is designed to introduce students to important questions concerning literary history relevant to the broader concerns of the major. All English majors will receive formal instruction within the major related to the educational goals of the College Core Curriculum, including writing within the major, formal presentation skills, and information literacy.
Note: Courses in women's literature, cultural studies, minority literature, and literary theory fulfill requirements for historical period requirements and/or seminars when so organized.
Learn more about coursework requirements and literary studies faculty.
The Concentration in Creative Writing combines courses in literary studies with a series of courses in creative writing. This option allows students to learn to write creatively and artistically while encountering models for good writing through the study of literature.
Learn more about coursework requirements and creative writing faculty.
The Concentration in Film/Media Studies applies traditional literary practices of close reading and critical thinking to the realm of film and media. This option allows students to learn about film and media practices through historical study of American and world cinema, theoretical analysis, and creative production.
Learn more about coursework requirements and film/media studies faculty,
Two minors are available in the English Department:
The student, under the guidance of a faculty member, undertakes a specifically tailored sequence of courses and independent work culminating in an honors thesis, evaluated by a panel of three faculty members. Students may also write a departmental thesis without applying for Honors in English. Students writing theses should enroll in ENGL 379 Senior Thesis during the semester in which they plan to complete the thesis.
For information on teaching English and communication in secondary school, see Professor Saundra Morris.
In addition to completing a body of specialized coursework, students in the College of Arts and Sciences must complete an approved culminating experience in their senior year. The successful culminating experience draws together a student's disciplinary experiences and provides a more coherent appreciation of the major's academic discipline. All English majors complete The English Experience:a Culminating Experience. Current students can learn more about this at http://englishce.blogs.bucknell.edu/.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — After spending a year gazing at Vesta, NASA's Dawn spacecraft was set to cruise toward the most massive space rock in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter — a voyage that will take nearly three years.
Firing its ion propulsion thrusters, Dawn had been slowly spiraling away from Vesta for more than a month until it was to pop free from its gravitational grip. Since its antenna was pointed away from Earth during this last maneuver, engineers would not know until Wednesday how it went.
The departure was considered ho-hum compared with other recent missions — think Curiosity's white-knuckle "seven minutes of terror" dive into Mars' atmosphere.
"It's not a sudden event. There's no whiplash-inducing maneuver. There's no tension, no anxiety," said chief engineer Marc Rayman of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the $466 million mission. "It's all very gentle and very graceful."
Launched in 2007, Dawn is on track to become the first spacecraft to rendezvous with two celestial bodies in a bid to learn about the solar system's evolution.

TG at the British GT Championship
Silverstone played host to the penultimate round, and a very special treat for a birthday racer…
Posted: 10 Sep 2012
A bit muted, wasn't he? Lewis Hamilton might have pulled out a flawless drive from pole to flag to add the Italian Grand Prix to his tally of all-time great victories, but - bless him - when he got out of the car, his victory celebration looked more like he was heading for detention.
On this side of the pond however, Lewis' Biggest Fan had a beam the size of Berkshire plastered over his face, albeit for a different reason. You see, the sun was bathing similarly hallowed racing turf this weekend as the British GT Championship hosted its penultimate round at Silverstone. And racing one of the front-running contenders - the RJN Motorsport Nissan GT-R - was none other than 2011 GT Academy winner Jann Mardenborough. Who turned 21 on race day.
From gamer to racer: meet a future star
A race day packed full of action: a tiny infraction between Team WFR and Beechdean Motorsport on the first corner, a BMW Z4 spewing out oil and smoke and with off-throttle pops rattling out like grenades, a Mazda MX-5 with puncture issues and the rear bumper literally hanging off, spins, drifts, penalties and, sadly, RJN's misfortune.
The team qualified ninth but showed cracking promise during Jann's teammate Alex Buncombe's first stint - he climbed up to second in a handful of laps. Thanks, no doubt, to the pair's weaponry being a pretty serious piece of kit: a GT-R so powerful and aggressive it lunched its own wheel sensor and knocked the ABS out of action, creating something akin to 'an unpleasant surprise' for Buncombe and Mardenborough. "Everything seemed to be stacking up against us," explained Buncombe after the race. "We didn't get told we were exceeding the track which is a shame, because then we got hit with a penalty." And that kind of summed up the pair's afternoon: monster pace, poor fortune.
United Autosports in their McLaren MP4-12C eventually took the win, that popping, smoking Z4 somehow claimed second, while Motorbase's Porsche GT3 R came in third. And yet, RJN's eighth-placed finish still leaves them third in the British GT Championship standings, and it really is all to play for as the final round at Donington looms ever nearer at the end of the month. There are five teams still capable of winning the title, so - as RJN boss Bob Neville explained, in no uncertain terms - "we just have to go out there and win it".
Easier said than done, right? Well, first of all, you need the right kit. As mentioned, that GT-R is a lightly violent weapon. TG got a taste of the standard car after hustling it around the short, technical confines of the Stowe circuit an hour before the race kicked off to give us a taste of what the boys would be playing with. Seriously, the GT-R might come with a user manual boasting Tolstoy-esque density, but in reality the only words that need printing and sellotaping on the dashboard are thus: point and squirt.
Second, you need some decent drivers. Step forward the birthday boy and his colleague Alex. "We're still in the championship hunt," said Jann, afterwards. "It's closer than me and Alex would like it to be, but we're up for the fight, and it looks like everything is still there for the taking. We're really looking forward to the last round at Donington. That's a proper track." As Le Mans regular commentator John Hindaugh mentioned - on sterling service throughout the day - that last race should be a thriller.
Oh, and there's one more driver who probably deserves a mention: a certain Wolfgang Reip. He's the latest winner of Nissan's GT Academy, and is preparing for his race debut at the 2014 Dubai 24hrs. We found him lurking around the paddock, cautiously eyeing up the machinery and drinking in the environment. "I start my racer development programme now," he told TG, "and it's heavy going because there are more races than weeks." He's also undertaking some heat acclimatisation training - basically exercising in his race suit in a hot room. "It's going to be sweaty," he notes, with a mild alarm. Is he scared about following in Jann's - and Lucas's - footsteps? "I'll be fine," he says, with a little smirk. Watch this space...

El sistema telefónico del Departamento de Salud está siendo actualizado. Por favor use el 703.746.4996 para contactarnos por teléfono.
Rabies is a preventable viral disease of mammals most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The vast majority of rabies cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) each year occur in wild animals like raccoons, skunks, bats, and foxes. Domestic animals account for less than 10% of the reported rabies cases, with cats, cattle, and dogs most often reported rabid.
Human infection with the rabies virus results from direct exposure to the virus. The virus is present in the saliva of infected animals and can be passed to humans in several different ways. Rabies is usually transmitted to humans through a bite or if the infected animal's saliva comes into contact with an open wound, a cut, a scratch, or mucous membrane (mouth, eyes, and nose).
Most of the recent human rabies cases in the United States have been caused by rabies virus from bats. Awareness of the facts about bats and rabies can help people protect themselves, their families, and their pets.
Rabies cases among humans in this country are rare due to the improved rabies vaccination programs for pets and for people who are bitten. The best way to prevent the spread of rabies to humans and to pets is by keeping pets properly vaccinated, along with control of stray dogs, cats and wildlife that can carry disease.
Don't panic, but don't ignore the bite, either. Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and lots of water. Washing thoroughly will greatly lessen the chance of infection. Give first aid as you would for any wound.
The need for rabies vaccination should be evaluated under the advisement of your physician and/or a state or local health department official. Decisions to start vaccination, known as post exposure prophylaxis (PEP), will be based on your type of exposure, the animal you were exposed to, as well as laboratory and surveillance information for the area where the exposure occurred.

Midwest Living Review
After moving four times in 30 years, the Madison Children's Museum finally settled into what they hope will be a permanent home -- a $5 million building just off Capitol Square. Relocating has more than tripled the space available to the museum: It now has 26,000 square feet open to the public, and man, have they used it. Technically, the museum is an educational institution, and there's plenty to learn there, but even more, it offers kids as old as 12 a chance to let loose and play.On the first floor, the 5-and-under set will be captivated by the Ewok village-like Wildernest area, with its tree-trunk huts and dinosaur-bone bridge. Older youngsters will likely race up to the second floor for the chance to run in a giant gerbil wheel or construct some incredible contraption out of the variety of blocks and other building materials in the Possible-opolis area. Creative types can try their hand at painting, drawing and making magic with a mixture of media in the art studio, and a twisty, dreamy climbing structure beckons irresistibly to anyone small enough to scale its spectacular heights.Up top, the four-season -- yep, even in the Wisconsin winter -- Rooftop Ramble offers a look at regional greenery and wildlife. The museum has a strong environmental and local focus, using literally tons of sustainable materials and work from local contractors and artists for its exhibits. Local healthy-but-yummy kids' cafe Bean Sprouts operates a location on the main concourse (open free to the public), if you need a bite. If you're in Madison and need to give the children a few hours of family-friendly fun, you'll be glad you came here.

Cham Syndulla
The freedom fighter Cham Syndulla arose on Ryloth during the Clone Wars, after the Separatists invaded his homeworld. A dedicated fighter with no tolerance for corruption or dishonesty, Syndulla forged an alliance with Mace Windu that brought liberty to his fellow Twi'leks.

Failed by the Republic
On Ryloth, freedom fighter Cham Syndulla accuses the Republic of failing to send aid to Ryloth during the Separatist invasion. His people were forced to surrender and were rounded up for extermination by droid forces.
Mace Windu Meets Cham Syndulla
Mace Windu meets the leader of the Twi'lek freedom fighters on Ryloth, Cham Syndulla.
Cham Syndulla and Master Di
Amid a heated battle on Ryloth, Cham seeks out Jedi Master Di to request relief supplies from orbiting Republic ships.
Cham and the Twi'lek Senator
On Ryloth, Cham and Mace deliberate an agreement with Twi'lek Senator Orn Free Taa: Ryloth will remain free of a Republic presence after its liberation in exchange for Syndulla's refusal to seek political power.
On Ryloth, Cham tells Mace he is suspicious of Senator Orn Free Taa's plans for Ryloth after its liberation from the Separatists. He is also resistant to a prolonged Republic occupation, even for security.

Hera Syndulla
The captain and heart of the Ghost crew, Hera Syndulla was a gifted pilot and leader. While Hera was a strong commander -- and especially adept at dogfighting with TIE fighters -- she was also warm and nurturing. The Twi'lek could bring out the best in her team, which consisted of very different personalities, making them believe in themselves, each other, and their struggle against the Empire.
Ryloth is the principal planet in the Ryloth system located in the Outer Rim near Tatooine. It is home to the Twi'leks, a humanoid species with two large, fleshy head-tails growing from their skulls. The Twi'leks call these prehensile appendages lekku and can communicate through subtle lekku gestures, although they also speak Twi'leki. During the Clone Wars, scheming Separatist warlords blockaded and invaded Ryloth, hoping to steal its riches.
Mace Windu
A grim Jedi Master with an amethyst-bladed lightsaber, Mace Windu was the champion of the Jedi Order, with little tolerance for the failings of the Senate, the arguments of politicians, or the opinions of rebellious Jedi. As the Clone Wars intensified, Mace sensed the dark side of the Force at work, and knew the Jedi's enemies were plotting to destroy the Order and end its stewardship of the galaxy.
Orn Free Taa
A corpulent, corrupt Twi'lek Senator from Ryloth, Orn Free Taa was disliked on his homeworld for enriching himself on Coruscant and enmeshing himself in politics, becoming a leading power broker in the Senate. Free Taa was one of the Republic's leading Loyalists and a strong backer of the military, but his indulgences made him a symbol of everything the Separatists considered rotten about the Republic.
Emir Wat Tambor
The foreman of the Techno Union, Wat Tambor was one of the original and most fervent Separatist leaders, pledging his loyalty and his battle droid armies to Count Dooku at a pivotal meeting on Geonosis. Later in the war, Tambor was appointed emir of Ryloth. His occupation was a cruel one, in which Tambor stripped the Twi'leks of whatever valuables he could find, then bombed their villages.
Twi'leks are tall, thin humanoids with skin pigment that spans a rainbow of colors. Their most distinctive feature is a pair of shapely prehensile tentacles that grow from the base of their skulls. Few things are as graceful as a female Twi'lek in motion. This beautiful image has forever doomed generations of young Twi'leks into servitude, as the wealthy and corrupt have taken to brandishing Twi'leks as badges of prestige. In the waning years of the Republic, the Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth was represented in the Galactic Senate by the corpulent blue-skinned politician Orn Free Taa. Even a politician of high office was not above flaunting a pair of lovely Twi'lek aides as a sign of influence and wealth.

Below is a video of the robot detecting a wall... notice how the beam moves along the ground until coming across an object. Then it moves up the object as the robot gets closer to the object, until the beam reflects into the light sensor.
Although it was a fun idea, I have to say it's very impractical. The one theoretical advantage it has over the US sensor is that it can detect curved/slanted objects no problem - the reflection of the beam is just as bright no matter how curved or slanted the object is (except of course when the object is a mirror or another highly reflective material). However, usually when the robot comes at a wall from an angle it can't get close enough to the wall for the laser beam to get high enough. It's disadvantages include having a very small range of detection, and being susceptible to ambient light conditions and object textures. It might, however, be useful when combined with the US sensor to provide additional information about potential obstacles.
NOTE: Since lasers (especially green lasers) can harm your eyes if pointed directly at them, you should exercise caution when using them.

A recent college graduate, Barry B. Benson wants more out of life than the inevitable career that awaits him and every other worker in New Hive City--a job at Honex making honey. Barry jumps at the chance to venture out of the hive, and soon encounters a world beyond his wildest dreams. When Barry inadvertently meets a quirky florist named Vanessa, he breaks one of the cardinal rules of beedom--he talks to her. A friendship soon develops, and Barry gets a guided crash course in the ways of the human race. When he shockingly discovers that anyone can purchase honey right off the grocery store shelf, he realizes that his true calling is to stop this injustice and set the world right by suing the human race for stealing the bees' precious honey.

Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Glee, a one-hour musical comedy, follows the life of an optimistic high school teacher as he seeks to transform and inspire the schools Glee Club, a group of amateur performers, to compete in the National Competition.
Once at the top of show choir, McKinley High School's Glee club has lately become home to misfits, social outcasts and scandals. Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), a positive young professional takes on the heroic task of restoring the Glee Club to its former glory, alongside fellow teacher Emma Pillsbury (Ugly Betty).
Challenges to restoring the club include nerdy soprano Kurt (Chris Colfer), the diva Mercedes (Amber Riley), geeky guitarist Arty (Kevin McHale) and the awkward, stuttering Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz).
Will's only hope lies within the true talents of Rachel Berry (Lea Michele, "Spring Awakening"), a perfectionist who is confident in show choir being her ticket to stardom and Finn Hudson, (Cory Monteith, "Kyle XY"), the popular high school quarterback with good looks and a perfect voice.
Throughout the story, Will is challenged with battling the negative influences in his life to prove that the Glee can beat out the competition. Produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television, Glee features a soundtrack of hit songs from past and present.

It's all about making an impression.
For the last several weeks, political advertisements have been bombarding our minds as candidates for the various offices have attempted to persuade us as to why they were the best individuals for the job.
The time for talk came to an end on Tuesday and the votes were cast. The voice of the people was heard.
As the election process came to an end, high school football players and coaches were taking the field for practice on a warm and steamy evening.
There's an opportunity to make an impression in that situation also.
Players are trying to show their coaches why they are the best person to fill a particular position on the team.
The Starkville Academy Volunteers have entered their second week of preseason drills, while the Starkville Yellowjackets and other public schools of the area started on Monday and the Mississippi State Bulldogs begin on Thursday.
The one area that seems to get the most attention and is often asked about is quarterback.
At Mississippi State, there doesn't seem to be much of a mystery of who will be the starting signal caller against Memphis on Sept. 1 at Memphis.
Chris Relf has gotten better and better over the last couple of years and his standing as the quarterback of the Bulldogs is solid going into his senior year.
Even though Relf's spot is secure, knowing that didn't keep him from remaining in Starkville over the summer working on his quickness and development.
Relf said the idea of getting better is shared throughout the entire squad.
"We want to be better than we were last year," Relf said during Southeastern Conference Media Days. "Like Coach (Dan) Mullen says, 'from good to great.' We're working real hard right now being in the weight room and just working to be better."
Both SHS and SA are looking to replace its signal callers from last season.
Drew Pellum had the inside edge to replace the graduated Kyle Henson with the Vols, while Gabe Myles has made strides during the spring to take over for Jaquez Johnson with the Jackets.
Even though Myles came out of spring with the edge, there are certain aspects of what Michael Newman and Princeton Jones can do that keeps them in the mix for coach Jamie Mitchell.
"Michael is a solid player and one we are certainly proud of," Mitchell said on Tuesday. "He's going to be our punter as well and carries a huge responsibility in that area. Princeton Jones is our No. 3 guy. He's a freshman and started for our 9th grade team last year. He's got a chance to be a good one for us as well."
As the preseason workouts continue and the teams look toward opening night of August 19, it will be interesting to see which players emerge and catch the eye of their coaches.

New Moonlight chief going to Broadway
Glaudini plans big shows for all ages, including 'Mary Poppins' in 2014
Vista Steven Glaudini is going Broadway this summer with a slate of shows at the Moonlight Amphitheatre that will feature spectacular sets and costumes from New York.
Glaudini — who took over as artistic director of Moonlight Stage Productions Jan. 1, following the retirement of founding director Kathy Brombacher — today announced three of the summer season's four shows. The lineup — including "The Wizard of Oz," "Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein" and "The Who's Tommy" — clearly reflect Glaudini's new vision for the company.
"I wanted to accomplish a number of goals during my first season," Glaudini said. "Shows that are new to the Moonlight is a top priority. This keeps our seasons fresh and the excitement high for our audiences. The visual appeal of our shows is also another priority. Bringing in production elements from Broadway and Madison Square Garden this season will uplift the look of what we put on stage."
Before joining Moonlight, the producer/director/actor spent five years as artistic director and producer of Musical Theatre West in Long Beach, and was executive producer of Performance Riverside from 1999-2005. With his long record as a producer, and a stint as an Equity agent, Glaudini said he developed a nose for negotiating that has helped him land hard-to-get shows and good prices on sets and costumes.
Glaudini said he's "hit the ground running" in his new job by lining up shows not only for this year, but for next year as well. On opening night of the Moonlight summer season June 26, Glaudini said he'll announce the lineups for both the 2014 winter and summer seasons. The big news for summer 2014 is that he has already locked in the San Diego regional theater premiere rights for "Mary Poppins."
For this summer, the season-opening show is still under wraps. Glaudini said he can't announce it until mid-March, but it's a musical classic that has recently been revived on Broadway and some of the sets and costumes from that Tony-winning production will be used at Moonlight. Glaudini will stage direct the production, running June 26-July 13.
Here's the rest of the 2013 lineup:
• "The Wizard of Oz" – July 24-Aug. 10. Based on the 1939 film adaptation of L. Frank Baum's classic novel, the adult-cast production will feature sets and costumes from the Madison Square Garden production. While running Performance Riverside, Glaudini acquired the Madison Garden sets, and when he produced "Wizard" there in 2003 (and later at Musical Theatre West) the show broke box office records. That's a feat he plans to repeat at Moonlight.
"I want to get the families out for this show," he said. "I can't wait to see the kids running down the hill and enjoying themselves with a show that's one of the best ever written for families."
• "Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein" – Aug. 21-Sept. 7. Brooks' musical parody of classic horror films makes its Southern California professional premiere, featuring sets and costumes from the Broadway production. The high-tech, special effects-laden laboratory set for the Broadway production was scheduled to tour with the show in the U.K., but when the tour was postponed until 2014, Glaudini snapped up the rights for this summer.

McLean and Eakin Booksellers
307 E. Lake St.
Petoskey Michigan 49770United States
(800) 968-1910
(231) 347-1180
Editor's Review
Book-lovers happily lose themselves for hours in this fantastic local book shop in downtown Petoskey.
McLean and Eakin Booksellers is a perfect example of why independent bookstores will survive (maybe even thrive?) in the digital age: The staff is phenomenal. Unlike the big-box bookstores, where buying decisions are based solely on what will make money, the folks at McLean and Eakin rely on good taste and personal relationships with their clientele in choosing what to put on the shelves. Browsing in this surprisingly big store, you get the sense that someone has hand-picked every book you see, and maybe even read it, to make sure it's worth your time. (Which isn't to say it's all highbrow stuff; just thoughtfully chosen.) A large Hemingway section will appeal to literary travelers following in the legendary author's footsteps here in northern Michigan. An excellent children's section invites lingering. A prominent shelf in the front stocks selections from local book clubs, including several sponsored and held in the shop. A large poster advertises a packed schedule of signings and speakers. There's also a nice selection of paper products and stationery. But books are the real focus here, and for anyone who loves to read, this store is an absolute delight.

|30 PSI, 3/4" MNPT x 17 mm Barb Drip Zone Assembly with Disc Filter
|$30.99 ea.
Properly designed drip irrigation systems begin with what is called the drip zone or the drip zone assembly, which consists of two vital components for below grade irrigation: the filter to protect the drip emitters, and a pressure regulator to lower the pressure to the suggested operating pressure for a PC drip line. This assembly can be attached to any AC or DC inline valve inside an irrigation box. If using this option to start a system, begin the installation from the valve box using any brand name 3/4" valve.
When installing a drip system, the first component needed is the filter, which you attach to the valve. Next, attach the pressure regulator and last, connect the adapter to the drip line.
To install an air relief valve, ensure you have a 17 mm x 1/2" FNPT tee at the start of your system (for 1/2" .700 OD drip tubing systems, use adapter tee LF307 in conjunction with coupler A134; for 1/2" .620 OD drip tubing systems use adapter tee LF306 in conjunction with coupler A134). The air relief valve screws into the 1/2" FNPT of the barbed tee. The air relief valve connection is normally located near the pressure regulator assembly as this is often the highest point in the drip system or the center of the line. It is important to install the air relief valve at the highest point of the system layout to allow it to work correctly.
If the line flushing valve does not seal (continues to flush), disassemble the flush valve. Inspect all components, cleaning or replacing as necessary, and reassemble. You should be able to blow and draw air through the drip emitter that is attached to the diaphragm, and the diaphragm should be free of any rips or tears.
Damage may occur if the flush valve has been subjected to higher than recommended pressure (greater than 50 PSI).
If manual flush valves or flush ports have been installed in lieu of line flushing valves, they should be opened and the system flushed at least three times in each irrigation season until the flowing water is visibly clean. The zone may need to be flushed more frequently depending on the quality of the water source.
Flushing of a drip system is highly recommended anytime that the system has been repaired.
Installation for Micro Pop-up Indicators:
Use the DSPI system the same way you would install any other emission device. The device will not emit any water, but when the system is pressurized a red indicator cup will be raised to indicate the system is running.
To install the pop-up indicators use one of the two options:
Installation using drip tubing as the main lateral:
With this layout use the complete assembly micro pop-up indicators with 24" micro tubing and barb. Install the pop-up by punching a hole into the side of the drip tubing and inserting the 1/4" barb into the drip tubing. Mount the pop-up indicator about 2-4" above the ground in a visible area between plants.
Installation using PVC pipe as the main lateral:
With this layout use the complete assembly micro pop-up indicators with 1/2" MNPT. Install the pop-up indicator by installing a PVC tee with 1/2" FNPT and then thread the pop-up into the 1/2" outlet. Mount the micro pop-up indicator about 2-4" above the ground in a visible area between plants.
The 1/2" (17 mm) barb fittings are used in the installation of any brand name drip line or drip tubing. To connect the 1/2" (17 mm) drip tubing or drip line, use a hand pruner to cut the drip tubing or drip line, being careful to keep dirt from entering the drip tubing. Insert the barb side of the fitting into the end of the 1/2" drip tubing or drip line by forcing the drip tubing over the barb side.
Starting the irrigation system from a PVC pipe:
1. Glue to a 3/4" PVC pipe a PVC male adapter (model P367) (not included).
2. Thread a 3/4" 24-VAC, or DC valve to the male adapter using Teflon tape.
3. Connect the 3/4" MNPT drip zone assembly to the valve. Repeat the process using a Teflon tape at the other end and make sure to remove all the excess of the Teflon tape.
4. If using an AC valve, connect the wire from the valve to the controller using 18-gage wire with a waterproof connection.
5. Connect the drip line into the 17 mm barb by forcing the drip line over the barb.
6. Lay out the drip line and use our brown stakes model S045 to hold the drip line to the ground.
7. Turn the water on and flush the drip zone and the drip line.
8. Close the end of the drip line with hose end.
9. Pressurize the system and make sure that water is not leaking from the unit or any part along the drip line. Test the assembly manually and then automatically via the controller, and then program the controller.
10. At this time if below grade installation you can cover the drip line.
· Make sure that the water flow direction matches for each component, if any is in line with the water flow.
· Use Teflon Tape only with the filter and make sure to remove all Teflon tape excess..
Note: See product specifications under individual product lines.

Plan a successful kitchen island
After making sure you have enough space, focus on seating, height and style consistency
Are you interested in adding an island to your existing kitchen, or want to include one when you remodel? Here are my Sensible Style principles for determining whether you can — and should — do so, along with making it a successful addition to your home if the answer is yes.
Space requirements
The first consideration is how much space you have available. You're far less limited, of course, if you're planning to tear down walls or build an addition. Still, I've seen numerous architectural plans that provide too little space for an island and its surrounding aisles. FYI, just because it meets code doesn't mean it will meet your needs!
At a bare minimum, you should have 42 inches between your island and the work spaces and appliances opposite it. This makes adding one to some existing kitchens impractical; a movable cart could give these spaces the extra prep space and storage they crave. Even in a remodel, a peninsula sometimes works better in limited spaces.
Seating considerations
If your kitchen can accommodate an island, you may want it to include seating. Ideally, it gets placed on a non-working side, backing up to a great room or dining area. I never, ever plan seating between an island and a cooktop or range, no matter how wide the work aisle. Imagine your child hopping off a stool just as you're moving a boiling pasta pot off the burner.
Height is another important seating consideration. If you prefer a raised bar, you'll add seating mostly for agile users. Counter height works for more people and gives you a deeper work surface. Table-height seating, created by installing a lowered counter, offers wheelchair accessibility and is the most child- and senior-friendly, but requires the most depth.
Island opportunities
Islands offer more than just extra storage, seating and work surface. If you're remodeling your kitchen, they can form the basis of a new work zone. If you're adding an island to an existing space, it can enhance a traditional work zone — by adding a prep sink opposite a cooktop, for example — or create a new specialized zone that caters to your particular needs.
Planning a convection microwave or steam oven, mixer lift and pullout tray dividers can create a compact island baking center. A kid-friendly island can include a beverage fridge, storage for plastic cups and plates, a microwave for older children to use, and seating for snacks and homework. If you entertain often, consider a party-friendly island with drink storage, ice maker and a stain-resistant countertop.
Style points
Your island should coordinate well with its surroundings. I suggest matching the door style as closely as possible, but in a coordinating finish that looks great with both your flooring and surrounding cabinetry. One attractive choice is paint for an island surrounded by stained perimeter cabinets, or vice versa. (Stains tend not to look great with other stains.)
You can also choose a similar door style with an added feature like decorative center panel inserts. These should be chosen with an eye to the room's overall design scheme.

FLL Mission Overview Part 6 - Oil Drilling
Point Worth: 10 points.
Mission Location: Bottom left (South West) corner of mat.
Estimated Difficulty Level: 6/10
Time Length Rating: Medium
Unique Challenge Aspects: Scoring objects in this mission are also scoring objects in another mission.
This mission has a couple interesting twists to it. At first glance, it might seem easier than it is - just press a nice wide lever and out rolls all three Oil Barrels for 10 points. While this is technically all you have to do for this mission, you'll lose 40 points from another mission (Oil Barrels) if one of the barrels is touching water at the end of the round. The Oil Barrels mission also gives you an extra ten points per barrel if you transport them back to base. Because of these factors, we've given this mission a 6/10 difficulty level. The time length rating for this mission is medium, because the robot may need to travel around the parking lot when going to the Oil Platform because of robot parts and scoring objects that might be in the lot.
Richard's comments: Wow! This post covered pretty much everything, so I'll go through some of the Q & A points, found here: http://www.firstlegoleague.org/default.aspx?pid=29620
1) Jonathan mentioned that you lose 40 points from the Oil Barrels mission if any oil barrel is in the ocean. However, per Q&A 9, if the oil barrel is completely on a ship, which is in the ocean, then no penalty will be taken.
2) However, if the Flood covers the oil barrel, it does NOT save you from the 40 point penalty.
3) Also remember that the points for the Corn mission is dependant on bringing at least one oil barrel back to Base.
So looking at this mission, I would rate this a difficulty of 8/10. Definitely one of the harder ones this year!
16 comments:
If you get all three barrels off the platform, you get 10 points, no matter where the barrels end up. Any barrels that are in the base at the end of the round are worth 10 points each. Any barrels anywhere on the mat that touch water or an area with houses will cause a 40 point deduction. So it's to the team's benefit to "catch" the barrels and take them back to base.
The robot may drive through the parking lot for any mission. Teams may move the items around in the parking lot to create a path for the robot, or even take the items off the table and place them on a small table next to the mat to allow more room for the robot. So this is actually a straight line mission from the base to the platform.

Not so - you start with 5 barrels in base, one of which you can deliver to the farm. Completing this mission is not necessary to it's success.
Personally, I would rate this mission's difficulty at 2/10 because it is a straight shot from base and along a wall.

"If you get all three barrels off the platform, you get 10 points, no matter where the barrels end up."
I second that. That is it's 10 points total for knocking them all off base - not 10 points for each barrel knocked off.
"Teams may move the items around in the parking lot to create a path for the robot"
With the exception of items moved in by the robot. They can't be touched - how the ref will be able to track this is beyond me
"Personally, I would rate this mission's difficulty at 2/10 because it is a straight shot from base and along a wall."
That's true but there is added difficulty in making sure they don't land in the water.

Linda and David,
Whoops, you're right about the scoring - it is ten points total. I must've misread the description. Anyway I updated the post with the correct information.
As David pointed out, you can't move objects in the parking lot that were put there by the robot. Hence, it could very well not be a straight line from base.
2/10 difficulty would mean it's only slightly harder than pushing the lever on the Solar Satellite, which is not the case. And although simply removing the barrels from the platform is quite easy (although most teams will need an auxiliary attachment), you will of course want to keep the barrels from landing on the water. Add to that bringing them back to base for the extra 30 points, and the mission can be quite complicated. It will of course be easier or harder for different teams, but I think a 6/10 is a good average.
- Oct 8, 2007, 10:28:00 AM
- David Levy said...
This was actually the first and still one of the few missions my div 1 team has solved. Well, I wouldn't say "solved" just yet as they only are able to repeat 50% of the time. This is because their robot sometimes lines up just a little to the left of the lever and their lever arm often gets caught on the table wall - so add some difficulty for being close to the wall.
As far as the 40 point loss factor.. if you break the mission down into the following scenarios, it doesn't seem as risky as you would think:
1) you are able to retrieve all three barrels to base
40 points awarded
2) same as #1 but one barrel gets away and lands in the water
10 points for mission
20 points for each barrel
-40 for oil in water
= -10 points for failed attempt
(also loss of time on the clock)
3) opt out of mission - too risky
zero points
- Oct 8, 2007, 11:55:00 AM
"Also remember that the points for the Corn mission is dependant on bringing at least one oil barrel back to Base.".....
for Corn Misson, a barrel is required at the Farm, not at Base -

- Joshua Heinzl said...
"2/10 difficulty would mean it's only slightly harder than pushing the lever on the Solar Satellite, which is not the case."
I disagree. Yes, the mission may require 1 or 2 attachments, but the target areas are large. Because it is near the south wall, this makes both navigation and manipulation very easy. Once you have control of the barrels, returning to base is inconsequential.
The Solar Panel was rated 7/10 (which I agree with). The Oil Drilling isn't anywhere near the difficulty of delivering the Solar Panel.
The risk of dropping a barrel is low, again, because the target area is large.
The only object that needs to be delivered to the parking lot is the Truck, which if executed properly will not interfere.
- Oct 8, 2007, 2:39:00 PM
- Noddin Nerds said...
... and even the truck does not need to be delivered to the parking lot (it can go to the farm).
The demonstration video practically screams at you to catch the barrels, when it shows the red one falling off and then rolling beneath the platform!
- Oct 8, 2007, 3:41:00 PM
- Joshua Heinzl said...
That'd be one method of successful execution that won't interfere :)
- Oct 8, 2007, 4:10:00 PM
- Jonathan Daudelin said...
Has your team solved the Solar Satellite, Solar Panel, and Oil Drilling missions yet? My team has solved all three, and I've observed that pressing the lever on the Solar Satellite (a mission that can be solved by a simple chassis and a program consisting of one move forward block) was much easier than dumping the oil barrels off the platform, containing them, and bringing them back to base. It also seemed slightly easier for them to solve than the Solar Panel mission (which they solved with one simple aux. attachment and no sensors).
My ratings are definitely not completely accurate, and will vary for certain teams. The best I can do is base my ratings off of my experience in FLL in past years and from watching my team this year.

Yes, my team has solved the Solar Satellite, Solar Panel, and Oil Drilling missions. I agree, the Solar Satellite is easier than Oil Drilling. I would rate the non-competitive 15 points of the Solar Satellite at 1/10 and the Oil Drilling at 2/10.
I think that the Solar Panel is more difficult than Oil Drilling because it isn't directly along a wall or a straight shot from base. Again, the target area to manipulation size ratio is significantly higher on the Solar Panel mission.
"My ratings are definitely not completely accurate, and will vary for certain teams."
They should only vary slightly. I agree that a mission can be slightly more difficult because of base robot design, but the mission difficulty is near standard.
I try to make non-biased ratings based on Manipulation to Target size ratio, Navigation Difficulty, and Manipulation Difficulty. These are roughly the same no matter who you are.
- Oct 9, 2007, 1:48:00 PM
Josh. If you disagree with the difficulty then you only have to post it once. These are the opinons of the writer and its getting annoying with you disagreing every time they post a mission review. You don't know everything and I think they are right that difficulty depends on the team. POst your review on your own website and stop picking arguments.

- Jim Kelly said...
Disagreements are perfectly acceptable... not everyone's going to see eye-to-eye on scoring and difficulty ratings.
Jonathan and Richard are basing their reviews on their own experiences, their teams' experience, and probably some simple guessing.
Let's move on... there are plenty more missions to discuss.

Mr. Levy
If the truck is delivered to the farm, can the oil barrels in the truck count as the 2nd part of the Corn Harvest and Processing (one Oil Barrel has been moved TO the Farm)?

On PHPMaster.com today there's a new tutorial - the first part in a series - looking at data structures. In this first post Ignatius Teo looks at the concepts of "stacks" and "queues".
Most of us are familiar with "stacks" and "queues" in normal everyday usage. But, what do supermarket queues and vending machines have to do with data structures? Let's find out. In this article, I will introduce you to two basic abstract data types - the Stack and the Queue - which have their conceptual origins in everyday usage.
He introduces some of the common concepts behind these two ideas and includes some sample code showing how to implement them. He also mentions some of the SPL functionality that's bult into PHP to handle some of this. The SplStack and SplQueue objects take some of the hassle out of it for you.

Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy changes travel plansPosted by on November 1, 2012 – 6:12 pm
The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy changed the Steelers travel plans for Sunday's game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. NFL teams normally leave for away games no later than Saturday afternoon, but the Steelers instead will leave Pittsburgh on Sunday morning and return immediately after the game.
The Jersey City hotel where the team had planned to stay is still without electricity, and the state of New Jersey was heavily impacted by the storm. Instead of changing hotels, and in doing so taking up rooms that displaced residents could use, the Steelers got approval from Commissioner Roger Goodell to make it a one-day trip so as not to add any unnecessary strain to the area's resources.
"When you look at it, it's a minor inconvenience considering what those people in New York and New Jersey went through with such a devastating 'tropical storm' as they changed it to, but it was still a hurricane and affected millions of people," said Max Starks. "You have seven million people without electricity, and a football game pales in comparison to that. You just hope you can do your best to take their minds off such a travesty for a couple of hours by playing some football."
The decision to change the travel plans was made after practice on Thursday, and the players didn't blink when they heard about it, especially after seeing the images from the devastated areas the last few days.
"So many people are affected in the area," said Jerricho Cotchery. "You have staff at the hotel that might be affected and things of that nature. They might not have enough staff. They have no power and you have towns that have been wiped out. I am sure for the hotel it might be a relief. For the people who live there your hearts go out to them. There is a lot of damage."
This isn't the first time that a hurricane has had an impact on the Steelers travel plans. They had to deal with Hurricane Jeanne in South Florida in September 2004. The team left for Miami on a Friday and then waited out the hurricane before playing the game on Sunday night instead of Sunday afternoon.
"It's just one of those things," said Starks. "It's an adjustment. I look back to my rookie year and we had the hurricane in Miami and we went down extra early to beat it. When you look at that, it's one of those things you can't help it when natural disasters happen. You have to be able to perform under any kind of circumstances. You just have to roll with the punches."
The Steelers were helped in this regard by it being such a short flight, and with kickoff at 4:25 p.m. it should allow for a reasonable departure time on Sunday morning.
"You just have to deal with it and lock in the best that you can," said Cotchery. "It won't be a problem if you are locked in on the game. We know we have a job to do and we have to get the job done."
Hydrating and stretching before and after the plane trip are keys for the players, but other than that they plan on approaching Sunday with a business-as-usual approach.
"You have to be a professional about it," said Maurkice Pouncey. "We just have to get on that flight ready to play on Sunday. That is fine with everybody here."

Seems strange the NFL didn't move the game to Pittsburgh. We could have donated our proceeds to the relief effort. My son lives in that area and he says they will be without power two weeks or more.

I have not heard specifically, but I am assuming that the stadium is in good shape and has power. Hope the game helps get the area back to normal. My heart goes out all who were affected….

Steeler's handling of Sunday's game shows character.
Makes me proud to be a Steeler fan.
The day Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey I was supose to travel from Pittsburgh to the East on Business trip, which was cancelled.
Seeing the photos of what Sandy did, who wins in the Steeler-Giants game seems to pale in comparison.
I simply pray that the Steeler-Giants football game give the people of New Jersey a break from the events they are having to endure following the storm.

This happened in baseball in the 90's when the Marniers couldn't use their ballpark. Games were played in opposing stadium. Steelers and Giants should do the same. Take up a collection in Pitt. Would lessen the stress on New Jersey. Split the revenues. Pittsburgh can handle it!! All resources in New Jersey needed for residents.

Grilling Chicken
Let's face it: Very few of us haven't at one time or another had to endure a barbecue that consisted of nothing more than a mountain of charred, dried-out chicken breasts and torched drumsticks. Some of us are probably even guilty of hosting such a sorry excuse for a cookout ourselves, which raises two questions: Why do the majority of backyard grillers believe that chicken tastes best when covered with the heavy soot of pyromaniacal combustion? And why do they think that such blackened hunks of bird don't require side dishes with which to wash them down?
In an attempt to sway the average barbecuing Portlander to adopt a tender philosophy toward grilled poultry, we asked Scott Dolich, chef and owner of Park Kitchen, to come up with a grilling menu that showcased the bird that's been flipped one too many times.
According to Dolich, people tend to make two main mistakes when it comes to barbecuing chicken. The first and perhaps most egregious faux pas is cooking the chicken over coals that are too hot or, even worse, still flaming. If chicken (or any meat, for that matter) is grilled over direct flames or red-hot coals, it will wind up covered in a black carbon coating that tastes quite unpleasant. Such Cro-Magnon technique can also result in meat that's burned on the outside but dangerously raw in the middle.
