On this morning's TODAY show on NBC, it was revealed that the highly-anticipated next novel from author Dan Brown will be called 'Inferno.' Thousands of Today show viewers helped figure out the book's title based on a a secret image posted on Today.com. Using social media, Brown fans used a live mosaic to slowly reveal the name of the novel.
According to Todaynews.com, "Inferno" will be set in Italy and continues the adventures of symbologist Robert Langdon, publisher Doubleday said. It will be released on May 14.
Said Brown in a statement, "Although I studied Dante's 'Inferno' as a student, it wasn't until recently, while researching in Florence, that I came to appreciate the enduring influence of Dante's work on the modern world. With this new novel, I am excited to take readers on a journey deep into this mysterious realm...a landscape of codes, symbols, and more than a few secret passageways."
Inferno follows Brown's three previous books featuring the character of Detective Langdon, "Angels & Demons", "The Da Vinci Code" - which sold more than 81 million copies worldwide and ranks as the bestselling adult hardcover book of all time - and "The Lost Symbol."

Business of Magic
A look at the business of Disney
|Alex Stroup, Editor
Have you ever wondered about the business behind the Disney magic? Curious about why they make the decisions they do? Confused by what all those numbers in the newspapers and the annual report mean? Interested in what Eisner and his team are *really* up to, and why?
Dan Steinberg is a graduate student working on his Masters of Business Administration (MBA) at University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, and is spending the summer doing marketing analysis at a Fortune 25 company.
Before returning to graduate school, Dan spent the previous 15 years as an engineer and manager at several high-tech companies in the Silicon Valley.
Dan's opinions, of course, are his own and do not reflect views of either his employer or the University of Southern California.

Dianna Agron and Boyfriend Christian Get Cozy In Venice! (PHOTO)
Glee's Dianna Agron (Quinn) recently hit up Venice, Italy, for the Louis Vuitton store opening by Marcos Square on Friday April 9, and let's just say girlfriend's cutest accessory wasn't her purse. Because it was totally her boyfriend, Christian Cooke!
Check out this beyond adorable photo of Dianna — how do you like her new red hair? — and Christian cuddling by a quaint canal, which their mutual friend, Derek Blasberg, captioned "Cuddles with the cutest on a Venice canal: Dianna!"
Tragically, we can't see Dianna's British boy-toy's face in this picture, but fear not. Christian will be making his big screen debut as Mercutio in 2013's Romeo and Juliet (yes, dude gets killed by Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick — aka Tybalt)!
Though they have made very few public appearance together, Dianna and Christian have been dating since November 2012, when they were spotted strolling around New York City's Meatpacking District hand-in-hand. Oh, and then they were spotted again leaving the Sayers Club in Hollywood on February 5!
Dianna is notorious for keeping her love life on the DL, but there's just no denying it. The era of Chianna is officially upon us, and it's completely beautiful. Mostly because of Christian's amazing hair.

Trails and Walks
If you have info about a new trail or walking area, send it to us at email@example.com
Asheville Arboretum
The North Carolina Arboretum is a 426-acre public garden located within the Bent Creek Research and Demonstration Forest of the Pisgah National Forest. Surrounded by the dense folds of the botanically diverse Southern Appalachian Mountains, the Arboretum is nestled in one of the most beautiful natural garden settings in America. The Arboretum also maintains 10 miles of hiking and biking trails with emergency call boxes. Public Safety staff patrol the Arboretum grounds 7 days a week, year round, except Christmas Day. A parking fee of $6.00 per car is charged.
Asheville Botanical Gardens
"A half-mile loop walking trail leads visitors across streams, through meadows, over a woodland ridge to a wildflower cove. An authentic "dog trot" cabin provides shelter midway, along with an appreciation of how our forebearers lived. The beautiful Wisenblatt Garden which is full of mosses, ferns and something almost always in bloom leads to the Joiner Bird Deck and Sensory Garden."
WNC Nature Center
The Trillium Glen Nature Trail is 2/3 of a mile and takes about 30 minutes to an hour to walk. You will experience a typical low elevation Appalachian hardwood forest and a natural streamside habitat along the Swannanoa River. The trail is moderately strenuous and there are rustic steps about halfway along the trail.
Beaver Lake
Beaver Lake is a beautiful area great for walking or strolling in North Asheville. There are two areas at the Lake to consider visiting. As you head north on Merrimon Avenue, past Ingles you will come to the Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary across from the Asheville Country Club Golf Course. The Sanctuary is a small area featuring boardwalks that wind through this wetlands area and provides ample opportunity for viewing birds. The Elisha Mitchell Audubon Society maintains the Sanctuary. Guided walks are held throughout the year on the first Saturday of the month. Walks meet at 8:00 in the Sanctuary parking lot from May-September. The remainder of the year, walks begin at 9:00.
You can also enjoy the walking trail by the lake. The trail is…..in length. The trail only goes partially around the lake, but is long enough, and pleasant enough that doubling back doesn't seem to be a problem for trail devotees. At any time you are likely to see runners and walkers.
Urban Trail
Thirty "stations" are highlighted on the trail, each with its own story. The 1.7 mile loop is divided into five distinct themes in the city's social history. Pink granite markers embedded in the sidewalks reflect these themes and provide a way to follow the route of the trail.
Several options for walking the trail – self guided (map/ tape – can be picked up/purchased) Regularly scheduled guided tours, call an arrange for a guided tour

Four Rockets to Compete at ITA Midwest Regionals
Toledo, OH - Four Rockets will represent the University of Toledo at the ITA Midwest Regional Championships this weekend at Michigan State. The tournament includes players from 20 NCAA Division I schools and will run from Thursday, Oct. 18 until Monday, Oct. 22.
"Our events, like this one, are just another stop in our big plan of player development." UT Head Coach Al Wermer said. "We're always in transition with our guys' games, whether it's upgrading footwork pattern, a match mindset or a technical element. We never stay in the same place. Our focus is on getting better. The wins will come along the way."
The action is set to begin at 8:00 a.m. Thursday beginning with singles qualifying rounds. Three of the four Rockets will compete in this round, including senior Francisco Stuardo, junior Ben Brocker and sophomore Nick Wong. Sophomore Tomas Stillman is slated against Northwestern's Raleigh Smith in the first round of the singles main draw.
Stillman and Wong will pair up in the first round of doubles play as Stuardo and Brocker team up on the other side of the bracket. Both pairs will face teams from Northwestern on Friday.
The ITA regional is the third tournament of the fall for the Rockets. Wong led the way at the season-opening Purdue Invite, capturing his first-career singles flight championship against Purdue's Szymon Tatarczyk.
Toledo returned home on Oct. 5 to host the annual Rocket Invitational where Brocker went undefeated. The southpaw is 5-1 in singles matches this fall. Freshman Matt Wareti also recorded two wins in his debut on the UT Varsity Tennis Courts.
Two more tournaments remain on the fall docket for Toledo. They will travel to Chicago, IL for the Northwestern Invitational on Oct. 26 and will conclude the fall at the USTA Futures Event in Niceville, FL.

'Dancing with the Stars': Corbin Bleu's Dothraki 'Game of Thrones' waltzAdd to Favorites | Dancing With the Stars
Every once in awhile on "Dancing with the Stars," a contestant does something so inherently awesome that it cannot be ignored. Corbin Bleu dancing a Viennese waltz to the "Game of Thrones" theme music -- while dressed as the Dothraki Khal Drogo -- was just that awesome.
Watch the video to see for yourself.
It's obvious that whoever put this together was a "GoT" fan. The Drogo and Khaleesi Daenerys costumes are perfect. There's a big Iron Throne upstage, between two big things of fire. Corbin's "Drogo" even dies at the end, appropriately mourned by Karina Smirnoff's Daenerys.
All we needed was Karina throwing herself onto a funeral pyre and emerging with dragons in order to make this perfect. That probably didn't fit into the allotted time though.
Alas, the judges were totally Lannisters when it came to the commentary and scoring (has anyone ever noticed the similarities between Len and Tywin Lannister?). Instead of focusing on the sheer awesomeness of the music and interpretation, it was like they cared about this dancing thing more. Weird.
They only awarded 23 points.
At least Tom Bergeron had the right attitude with his closing quip: "I'm just glad you didn't go with the Red Wedding tango."

Chesterfield manager John Sheridan has raided former club Oldham to sign Kelvin Lomax and Deane Smalley on three-month loan deals.
Full-back Lomax, 23, and striker Smalley, 22, have found first-team opportunities limited at the League One club this season, with Smalley having recently completed a loan spell at Rochdale.
Sheridan said: "They were both in my side at Oldham when we were top of League One and they are not playing there, so I have brought them in. I want us to have strength in depth. We can't always play well and sometimes you have to step out of the game to get yourself back together, so when that does happen you need people to come in."

The widespread poverty of Japan in these years made it increasingly difficult for the few students at the Iwama Dojo to continue practicing. One by one, work and family obligations compelled them to abandon their training until only a few students came to practice. Seeing Morihiro's devotion and enthusiasm toward training, Ueshiba gradually began to rely on him more and more in his personal life. Finally, only young Saito was left to serve the founder on a regular basis. Even after his marriage, Morihiro's passion for training continued unabated. In fact, his young bride began to serve the Ueshibas too, and personally looked after O-Sensei's elderly wife, Hatsu. Click here to read the entire article

Car Feature 2004 Pontiac GTOYou know a guy like Matt Reesor. Maybe you work with him, maybe you're friends with him, or maybe you see him at the grocery store. You pull up after two weeks of pouring rain and your car is filthy. Covered in road grime, old bird droppings, and brake dust, you tell yourself, it's OK, it's my daily driver and this is what all daily drivers look like. Then, he passes by. You hear it first, that low rumble only a cammed LS1 can make. Rounding the corner you see it, spotless. As if someone followed him, cleaning it at each traffic light, the car still looks brand new. All the gaps line up, the front bumper has no bugs embedded in it and the wheels look as if he has never even used the brakes. You think to yourself, how? How is it possible to keep something that clean? He must never drive it. He probably has no miles on it and never gets to enjoy it like I enjoy mine. "For the last three years this has been my only car, I drive it every day. I bought it used with just 1,900 miles on it. It's coming up on 45,000 now." You immediately loathe his seemingly perfect existence.
What you don't know about Matt Reesor is that he is a real, diehard car guy. His attention to detail is second to none and he is willing to put in the hours to keep it in perfect shape. As you are about to find out, the flawless exterior is just the beginning. What lies beneath is the result of countless hours of research, hard work, and sacrifice; a focus on building a car with the "less is more" approach. Hiding nothing in excess, Matt has spent years removing what was deemed unnecessary and only adding in key areas.
The heart of Matt's '04 GTO proves that a perfect combination is certainly worth more than the sum of its parts. Starting with the star of the show, air enters through a custom cold-air intake, built by Carter Racing of Savannah, GA, into the ProCharger P-1SC supercharger. Spun by a Fluidampr balancer and Reichard Racing 3.40-inch pulley, air is compressed to 9.5 psi before passing through the ATI-supplied front-mount intercooler. Chilled and still screaming, air passes by a hand-ported stock LS1 throttle body and into the stock LS6 intake manifold. Below, a Futral FM7 camshaft (224/230-duration, 0.588/0.595-inch lift, 114 LSA) commands the stock valves, while a set of Patriot Gold Xtreme springs bring them back to the seats. Inside the combustion chamber, everything is just as it left the factory, with a stock rotating assembly responsible for keeping all of the horsepower in check. For extraction of the spent gasses, a pair of coated Kooks long-tube headers feed a set of 3-inch off-road pipes, which attach a set of 3-inch Spintech mufflers.
Of course, you can't have power without fuel. Out back, a Lingenfelter fuel pump sits in the stock tank and is responsible for getting fuel to the 60-pound Mototron fuel injectors. Under boost, a Kenne Bell Boost-a-Pump provides an extra kick of fuel, while an AlkyControl methanol injection system provides some extra safety. According to Jay Healy of Carter Racing, the tuner and builder of Matt's GTO, "We don't use the Methanol as a power adder, we really use it as a safety device. Timing is still very conservative, which has allowed this combo to stay together for over three years of daily driving." According to multiple dynos, Matt's GTO makes 640 rear-wheel horsepower and 547 lb-ft of torque, which is extremely impressive for a stock bottom end, stock heads, and a P-1SC ProCharger.

While Rudy Giuliani is waging war on gay marriage, his pals Howard Koeppel and Mark Hsaio are planning to go to Connecticut next month to tie the knot.They see no contradiction in the ex-mayor's opposition to gay marriage and the fact he roomed with them for six months in 2001."Rudy doesn't discriminate. I should know. I lived with him for six months," Koeppel, 68, a car dealer, said yesterday outside his West Side apartment.Koeppel, a Republican, said he believes that Giuliani's opposition to gay marriage stems from his religious and political beliefs, not his personal ones."He isn't an advocate for gay marriage because of his religious beliefs," he said of Giuliani, who has supported abortion rights. "He is a traditional Catholic. Those teachings say marriage should be between a man and a woman."Koeppel said Giuliani told him that if gay marriage ever became legal in New York, "he would marry us himself."

She performed her most recent occassional poem "Amazing Peace" at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree. In this studio recording, the poet's voice � its dark timbre � has a calming effect, as it speaks of faith challenged by adversity.
"On the Pulse of Morning", written for the inauguration of president Bill Clinton, explores the interconnectedness of all life. The poem features a memorable sequence in which human beings of contrasting nationalities, faiths, and races are mentioned back to back and at length to create a sense of strength through diversity and unity.
Angelou's sassier, activist side is also represented in a few poems, lending a wonderful sense of balance to this listen as a whole. If you admire Angelou, or are interested in the ideal introduction to this gifted writer, start here.
"Amazing Peace" is a beautiful and deeply moving poem from Maya Angelou. Here she inspires us to embrace the peace and promise of Christmas, so that hope and love can once again light up our holidays and the world. "Angels and Mortals, Believers and Nonbelievers, look heavenward," she writes, "and speak the word aloud. Peace."
"Amazing Peace" is Maya Angelou's radiant affirmation of the goodness of life and is a touching celebration of the "Glad Season" that will resonate with people of all faiths.
Also included in this program is her Grammy Award-winning reading of "On the Pulse of Morning", the poem that she created for the inauguration of President William Jefferson Clinton in January 1993. Nearly 13 years later this poem remains just as profound a listening experience.
Additionally, the program includes the four poems that make up Phenomenal Woman. The poems are among the most acclaimed of Maya Angelou's body of work. They celebrate women with a majesty that has inspired and touched the hearts of millions. Together with "Amazing Peace" and "On the Pulse of Morning", this is a beautiful and unique collection of Maya Angelou's writing read aloud in her distinctive and sonorous voice.
Maya Angelou, poet, writer, performer, teacher, and director, was raised in Stamps, Arkansas, and then moved to San Francisco. In addition to her best-selling biographies, beginning with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, she has also written a memoir with recipes, Hallelujah! The Welcome Table; five poetry collections, including I Shall Not Be Moved and Shaker, Why Don't You Sing?; and many other celebrated poems.

"Stunning work read by a master"
Ms. Angelou recites the poem she wrote for the inauguration of Pres. Clinton. I saw it on TV but this listening enabled me to understand and absorb the riveting work. THEN there are other poems!

ECONOMY: Job market improving for graduating college seniors
The job market is more receptive to graduating college seniors this spring than in recent years, when graduates encountered stiff resistance from prospective employers who slashed hiring in the Great Recession.
"This is the first time since 2007 that we've seen a double-digit increase in spring hiring projections," said Ed Koc, director of Strategic and Foundation Research for the National Association of Colleges and Employers in Bethlehem, Pa.
Employers have upped their original projections on seniors landing jobs from early fall — the start of the job search season for graduates — to spring, when many hope to have an offer.
Students at Cal State San Marcos have arrived in droves at Craven Hall's Career Center for workshops on resume writing, interviewing tips, networking and other job search techniques.
"It's a very different mood than last year," said Diana Sanchez, a career counselor with the center.
Last month's career placement fair, held outside the Kellogg Library Plaza, attracted more than 50 employers.
"I was pleasantly surprised when I was talking with the employers at the job fair. There was a lot more chatter about hiring," Sanchez said. "Graduating seniors are still concerned, but they seem much more realistic and not as panicky as last year."
Pam Wells, director of the Career Center at Cal State San Marcos, said that her center had
attracted more than 120 employers to the job fair in the mid-2000s.
"Two years ago, in the spring, we had 90 employers," she said. "Last year we took a big hit. This year is a little better. Things are getting slightly better, but the recovery will be years in the making."
Wells met in Sacramento last week with other career center officials from the Cal State University system.
"Everybody is in the same boat on what they're cutting," she said. "We lost staff. But it wasn't as bad as some of the other campuses, because we are a campus that is growing."
The National Association of Colleges and Employers, which tracks employment trends for graduating seniors, reported recently that companies plan to hire 19.3 percent more entry-level college workers than in 2010. This is up from 13.5 percent in the fall. The survey was based on 174 respondents in a survey sent to 873 employers from Feb. 28 to April 8.
"We are definitely seeing a pickup in hiring," said Susan Afan, regional vice president for Robert Half International in San Diego. "They are more eager," she said of college graduates.
In 2010, companies received an average of 40.5 applications for every entry-level job posted. This year, it's 21.1 applications per posted position, according to the association.
In this recruiting year, the total number of job postings is 14,341 versus 5,174 reported in 2010.
The average number of job postings listed by each company also grew, to 105 from 45 in 2010. In all, 303,242 applications were submitted for all job postings, up from 209,852 in 2010.
"Because of the larger number of postings, the average number of applications per posting has declined significantly. This is another indication that the market is better," said

Internet Resources
USE THE WEB during your tutoring sessions. You will have to check out several links before you find specific lesson plans. Many of the sites below are umbrellas for other sites. Please report outdated links and sites that bombard the screen with pop-up ads so we can remove these links. Thanks to intern Marie Dador, Spring 2010 for reviewing and updating this site.
1. Sites recommended and used by tutors:
Capital Community College, Hartford, CT. Grammar and writing tools for all levels http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/. This listening lab http://www.esl-lab.com/ is all audio and not for LC use, but a great site for learners to use at home. Edhelper.com http://www.edhelper.com/ might look like it is meant for children; you will find a wealth of guides here for everything from pronunciation to grammar to topics for writing; previous tutors loved it.
2. ESL Lesson Plans and Resources http://www.csun.edu/~hcedu013/eslplans.html offers detailed lesson plans for teaching beginning ESL students. This is a good site for beginning tutors to review--it shows how a lesson flows with specific practice of certain conversational goals and the follow up that this practice requires.
3. The National Institute for Literacy http://lincs.ed.gov is a rich resource, an extensive index to hundreds of sites, clearly organized but very large. This page is part of the "Lincs" service, which offers abstracts of websites concerning Literacy and reviews resources for teachers and tutors; there are some 5778 sites reviewed; there is also a useful search engine. Also, the Center for Applied Linguistics at http://www.cal.org/ has a number of reports and materials to help with adult education, second language learning, and literacy. Another source is Penn State's Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy http://www.ed.psu.edu/isal/
4. Dave's ESL Café http://www.eslcafe.com/ is a popular site for ESL learners and teachers. It offers a help center at which learners can post questions about English grammar and have them answered in a short time. Also available are discussion forums for teachers and students, teaching strategies, icebreakers, and lesson plan suggestions, which are listed under "ideas" on the home page.
5. The Internet TESL Journal http://iteslj.org/ offers articles describing specific teaching techniques, some for classroom use (but very useful in our setting). The format of each article is a model for a lesson plan; very practical.
6. Purdue Online Writing Lab at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/ is one of the best resources on the web.
7.The Georgetown Univeristy Writing Center at http://writingcenter.georgetown.edu/ is also a good resource.
8. An excellent resource when teaching pronunciation is the University of Iowa's site at

I have had an old blown bulb knocking around in a draw for ages just waiting to be used and exploited.
This item was produced for functionality but could be made more pleasing to the eye with the purchase of some white cable for a couple of quid/dollars.
I am going to shorten the cable when she finds the right height for working in comfort - unlessss!!! you guys can come up with a cool way to store the extra cable out of site or tidily.
Step 1: Materials
- the back of the bulb zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzztttt - not good.
Step 2: Tools
Step 3: Ok
Soldered the cable to the fitting and slid the pipe down the cable till it touched the back of the bulb fitting , used a second piece of tube (split down one side) to hold both parts together and firm, then filled in the whole of the tube with filler, thus ensuring that the wires were totally secure and when clicking into the light socket nothing sheared off putting me in danger - or the wife.

Down by one at the half, the Dobyns-Bennett Lady Indians used a 12-0 run in the third quarter to overtake Hampton for a 51-44 victory in Saturday's championship game of the Johnson City Honda Invitational at Bobby Snyder Gymnasium.
After going into the locker room trailing 23-22, the Lady Indians (11-3) held the Lady Bulldogs (13-4) scoreless over a seven-minute stretch.
Once in the lead, the Lady Indians held on after Hampton stormed back to close within five and later to four points in the closing minutes.
The Lady Indians' Sasha Morrisette put the final dagger in Hampton's hopes breaking to the basket and getting scores. Leading all scorers with 23 points in the final, Morrisette earned tournament Most Valuable Player honors.
"I like the rush, the momentum and the bond," Morrisette said about the big moments as she looked towards her sister Cydnee, also an all-tourmament selection. "We have a special bond. It shows in a lot of our plays."
D-B took early command with a 14-8 lead at the end of one quarter only to see the scrappy Lady Bulldogs turn up the pressure in the second quarter and take a 23-22 lead at the half on Monica Olvera's bucket.
Dobyns-Bennett coach Roger France admitted his team was a little rattled when they entered the locker room.
"In the second quarter, we got really frustrated," he said. "Hampton played well, the crowd got into it and it was a very physical game. But, we played through that. We got our starters in foul trouble, but our other kids picked it up. We took a 6-8 point lead with those players on the bench."
Leading Hampton's comeback in the fourth quarter, Dorothy Dugger finished with 16 points. Alexis Bowers added a 13-point effort and Paige Montgomery worked inside for a team-best nine rebounds. The Lady Bulldogs had their chances to score during the third-quarter drought, just their shots weren't falling.
"When you live and die by the jump shot and your legs get gone .... it seemed like most of our shots were short tonight," Hampton head coach Leon Tolley said. "We had good shots tonight. We just couldn't make them. We did what we wanted to, eliminating their post players, but 14 killed us. That's why she's the MVP."
Despite being plagued by foul trouble, Alex Anderson posted a double-double for Dobyns-Bennett with 10 points and 12 rebounds. The Lady Indians left the gym at Daniel Boone with the utmost respect for their opponents, feeling they were both physically and mentally tested Saturday night.
"They're in you, they're aggressive, but you have to come back even stronger," Cydnee Morrisette said. "You have to play together and have heart. And, you have to keep your composure, especially in front of a big crowd like that."
Third-place game
Daniel Boone
Jenny Snyder scored 18 points and Katelyn Cox added 11 more as the Lady 'Blazers (9-7) came out on the winning end of an extremely competitive game which featured 14 lead changes, nine in the final period alone.
Tight throughout the contest, Snyder finally gave Boone a two-possession lead with 27 seconds left. Allison Littleton sealed the outcome with two more free throws at the 12-second mark.
"It was just a great game against a good team," Boone head coach Travis Mains said. "Katelyn Cox, she really stepped up tonight. She had a great tournament, but I'm just really proud of this team and their progression over the last two weeks."
Kasey Norman hit four shots behind the 3-point arc in a 14-point effort for the Lady Eagles (12-6). Victoria Nelson had 10 points for Seymour, which trailed 23-17 at the half after leading 13-9 at the end of one quarter.
Boone went 3-1 over the four days against arguably the toughest competition on anyone in the tournament.
"They've all been nip-and-tuck where people are challenging you, testing your character," Mains said. "They're making runs at you, you're making runs at them. As a program, we've got a lot of good things out of this week."
Fifth-place game
Smith County 43
Cherokee 39
Callie Hackett, Smith County's talented sophomore guard, tallied 24 points as the Lady Owls (13-6) survived the Lady Chiefs rallying from 13 points down.
Hackett had four free throws in the final 90 seconds to pull the Lady Owls ahead after the Chiefs finally overtook Smith County midway through the fourth quarter.
Cherokee (6-12) had fallen behind 21-8 at the end of one quarter, but clawed back to a 25-18 deficit at the half.
Pattie Taylor and Savannah Marlow each scored 16 for the Lady Chiefs.
Sixth-place game
Unicoi County 62
Sullivan East 43
Emily Edwards continued her big week with 19 points as the Lady Devils (9-6) raced out to a 31-8 advantage and held a double-digit lead the rest of the way..
Whitley True and Chelsea Harness each ended with 11 points, while Destinie Hayes recorded her second double-double of the tournament with 10 points and 17 rebounds.
All three of the aforementioned are underclassmen.
"They're growing up every day," Unicoi County coach Kerri King said. "They're really young , not a lot of game experience, but every time they play, they're getting better."
Ashlee Minor and Tori James were high scorers for the Lady Patriots (13-5) with eight points apiece.
University High 29
Sullivan Central 19
The Junior Bucs (5-6) limited the Lady Cougars (2-14) to just one point in both the first and third quarters to earn the win.
As both teams struggled offensively, University High held a 9-8 lead at the half.
Megan Blair finally got the Junior Bucs somewhat on track, scoring nine points in the third quarter and 13 points overall.
Central's struggles continued with just three field goals made through three quarters and ending the day 6-of-17 at the free-throw line.
University High was a final-day substitute for Gate City which couldn't play due to a Virginia High School League rule which prohibits teams from playing four consecutive days.
Johnson County 48
Sevier County 47
Brooke Brown hit a pair of free throws for the last of her 25 points as the Lady Longhorns (4-11) rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to defeat the Bearettes (8-9).
Brown's free throws with 16 seconds left came on the heels of her making another go-ahead score seconds earlier. Sevier County's Taylor Chapman missed a potential game-winning runner in the lane with two seconds left.
The Lady Longhorns, who had nine-point efforts by Brandy Dugger and Brianna Reece, went 2-2 in the tournament.
"For us, that's huge right now," Johnson County coach Todd Whittimore said. "We're trying to be a team that competes every night. We have 13 losses and 10 of them are by five points or less. We're in those games, but we weren't able to close the deal. That's what I liked tonight. We didn't have our best game, but we tightened it up when we needed to."
Brittany Tarr scored 11 of Sevier County's first 12 points and finished with 25 before fouling out with 3:16 left in the game. Chapman ended with 11 points.
Sullivan South 66
Unaka 57
Kayla Tipton posted a double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Lady Rebels (11-4) over the Lady Rangers (9-7).
Unaka trailed 48-32 entering the final period, but sliced the lead to five before South quickly pushed the lead back to 10.
Courtney McKenzie and Brayden Hutchins each finished with 13 points in the victory.
Kassie Winters sank five shots behind the 3-point line in a 24-point performance for Unaka. Brandi Ensor totaled 13 points and nine rebounds, while Alicia Colbaugh came back from a second-quarter elbow injury to also finish with 13.
Greenback 61
David Crockett 58
Sarah Rhyne knocked down a 3-pointer at the buzzer to lift the Lady Cherokees (6-8) over the Lady Pioneers (1-13).
Greenback ended each of the final two periods in the same matter. Autumn Tipton, who scored a game-high 24 points, hit a 3-point shot to end the third quarter. Katelyn Sparks finished with 15 points and Rhyne tallied 13.
Heather Scalf, whose free throw with 14 seconds left tied the game for Crockett, ended with 17 points. Kaylie Foster knocked down four shots behind the 3-point line in a 14-point effort and Hannah Stephens added 10 points.

THE Ministry of Finance has not yet approved a request by the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology to bail out the struggling Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC).
This news comes despite claims yesterday by Joël Kaapanda, the minister of information and communication technology, and Albertus Aochamub, the NBC director general, that the matter had been resolved.
According to Calle Schlettwein, the deputy minister of finance, the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology made a submission to the finance ministry but no money has been paid out to the NBC. "The matter is still under consideration," he said.
Aochamub yesterday morning said that the matter had been sorted out on November 13 already. "You can get the details from the Ministry [of Information and Communication Technology]."
Kaapanda, when approached for comment, said: "That is an old story – everybody knows that we have done so."
Asked how much money the NBC had received, he said: "What they wanted."
This contradicts what Schlettwein is saying. He said that by saying that the deal had been done, Kaapanda probably referred to the submission his ministry had made to the finance ministry.
Schlettwein did not want to disclose the amount requested, saying this could "create expectations".
He said the Ministry of Finance considered the request as urgent.
Two weeks ago, The Namibian reported that the NBC had requested a bailout of between N$40 million and N$50 million from the government to survive until the end of the current financial year on March 31 2013.
The NBC has no money and will not be able to survive beyond December 1, Aochamub said. The money requested is over and above the N$108 million subsidy for the NBC which was budgeted for in the current financial year.
"Why should the taxpayer pay for salaries when they already receive a subsidy?" Schlettwein wanted to know earlier.
Schlettwein did not mince his words about the request. "If you receive a subsidy from Government, which the NBC does, your highest priorities should be funded." This, he said, should include paying your employees.
He said the money had not been budgeted for. "There is no authority from Parliament to fund this. The Ministry of Finance and additional money should not be the first option."
Aochamub said the corporation needed the government to fund its entire operational budget from December 1 to the end of March.

TIMBUKTU, Mali - The photocopies of the manual lay in heaps on the floor, in stacks that scaled one wall, like Xeroxed, stapled handouts for a class. Except that the students in this case were al-Qaida fighters in Mali. And the manual was a detailed guide, with diagrams and photographs, on how to use a weapon that particularly concerns the Unit... more

WASHINGTON - Al-Qaida fighters have been using secretive chat rooms and encrypted Internet message boards for planning and coordinating attacks - including the threatened if vague plot that U.S. officials say closed 19 diplomatic posts across Africa and the Middle East for more than a week. It's highly unlikely that al-Qaida's top leader, Ayman... more

CAIRO - The leader of the Yemen-based al-Qaida offshoot vowed in a message posted Monday to free fellow militants from prisons and urged jailed fighters to remain faithful to the terror group's ideology.

Teen Mom
Will Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin Bring Their Dogs to the Air Force Base?
Newlyweds Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin are facing some big changes in the near future. Javi just graduated from Air Force boot camp on February 14, which means they'll soon have to pick up and relocate to another city, depending on where he gets stationed.
Kailyn's eager to leave the cold Pennsylvania weather behind, but there's just one problem — most military bases have strict pet policies, so living on-site isn't an option.
"Most bases don't allow Rottweilers," the Teen Mom 2 star tweeted to a fan wondering if they were considering living at the base. "So we weren't planning on it."
Kailyn doesn't know where Javi will be stationed (she's hoping for someplace warm!), but one thing's for sure — the couple's three dogs are definitely coming with!
Do you think Kailyn and Javi are making the right choice to live off base? Tell us your thoughts below.

How to Value a Business /What's My Business Worth
Valuing a business is important if you are considering buying a business, selling a business or managing a business. Valuing a business is obviously important for buyers and sellers of business, but it's also important a powerful management tool that too often gets overlooked by business owners. Consider your about to buy a major asset or hire a key employee or expand your product line … If you consider what the impact to your business valuation, you will likely make a better decision. A business' value is calculated with a formula. The business' assets and ability to generate cash are the major components of value. Things can change rapidly in a business so a five-year period is generally accepted as a valid snapshot of how well the business is doing. If you can only provide one or two years of history, the business' value may be reduced because the likelihood of past results repeating is less. Five years is considered optimal, but more the better. There are multiple valuation models that are used to value a business which include: replacement value, cash flow, discretionary earnings, assets, and many more. The core metric in a business valuation is earnings followed by property, equipment, location, employees, customer loyalty, bankability, etc… A multiple is often given for a particular industry. Bigger companies have larger multiples than a comparable company in the same industry. This allows larger companies to buy smaller companies and increase their own business valuation. Most small businesses will sell between a multiple of one to seven. Large public companies have an average multiple of about 19, but some companies like Tesla Motors (TSLA) sells at a multiple of 80 as of this writing. "How much is a business worth" is the most asked question by small business owner and entrepreneurs. It's important information to know about a business If you want to buy, sell or optimally manage a business. Bizprofitpro will give you a free simple business valuation to indicate the range your business would likely sell for in today's market. We also have online tools to help you calculate your own business valuation for a small fee. A detailed full business valuation is also available at a cost $295 to $1995 depending on the size and complexity of your business.
Business Opportunities/Business for Sale
Why buying a small business is the safest and easiest way to becoming an entrepreneur and achieving financial independence. An existing business will come with a track record that includes the most important element to a business – revenue. Buying a company allows analysis or (due diligence) to see how well the business is performing.
"click here to see businesses opportunities for sale"
Buying your business opportunity will have employees, customers, equipment, procedures and other components already in place so you can get profit very soon if not immediately. There is no such thing as the perfect business, in fact, my recommendation is to buy a business that has things wrong but you can fix after you purchase. You want to buy a business with a big upside that your skills can positively affect. I see businesses on a weekly basis that can double their revenue without huge capital investments. These are the kind of deals that make for a great business opportunity. It's not unusual for a business owner to have circumstances that cause them to neglect their business. It may be health, divorce, boredom, incompetence or laziness, but for whatever the reason, there are tons of great business opportunities for you to profit from. Being able to analyze a business is a key. If there was a such thing as a perfect business, you would not likely be able to afford it or wouldn't want to pay the price. You can find great businesses for sale that have just the things wrong that you can fix. The first part of analyzing a business is doing a business valuation. A business valuation will tell you what the business is worth. A business valuation can be free and simple or complex and expensive depending the size and complexity of business. Bizprofitpro offers business valuation services and business valuation tools so you can know what any company that you are considering buying is really worth.

History of the Halifax Shipyard and Local 1
- Halifax Graving Dock Company was formed in England and capitalized with $1 million constructed Halifax Graving Dock, which officially opened on September 21, 1889.
-August 22, 1890 Halifax Graving Dock Company purchased the Chebucto Marine Railway Company Limited located in Dartmouth Cove.
- Halifax Shipyards Limited was established in 1918, when a Montreal group purchased the Halifax Graving Dock Company facility, which had been destroyed in the 1917 Explosion.
- In 1920 the British Empire Steel Corporation acquired control of the shipyard's stock; it was subsequently purchased in 1930 by Dominion Coal and Steel Corporation (DOSCO).
- During the Second World War the shipyard built the first all-Canadian destroyers and repaired more than 7,200 ships damaged in the battle of the Atlantic. Besides ship construction and repair, the shipyard also manufactured various wood and metal products for industry.
- In 1937 Local 1 had taken charter with the Committee for Industrial Organization (CIO) under Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of America in Camden, New Jersey.
- In 1941 Local 1 changed over to Canadian Congress of Labour (CCL).
- In 1941 Local 1 signed first contract with DOSCO.
- In 1944 Local 1 went on strike and won dues check-off.
- In 1945 Local 1 became a part of the Maritime Marine Workers Federation.
- In 1958 A.V. Roe Canada (later Hawker Siddeley Canada) acquired a controlling interest in the shipyard.
- In 1961 Local 1 went on strike which lasted 9(11) weeks. Main reason was lack of willingness on the companys side to negotiate. There was one offer Take it or leave it. Strike was resolved through the conciliator.
- From 1964-1968 the shipyard built numerous small ships. In 1968 the offshore oil construction business began, resulting in the shipyard's production of several SEDCO oil drilling rigs and a self-dynamically positioning SEDCO drill ship.
- In 1976 Local 1 went on strike for a wage increase to be parallel with Trenton Works also owned by Hawker Siddeley. Strike was resolved after 4(?) weeks trough the negotiations.
- In 1978 Hawker Siddeley was placed in receivership and a consortium, Halifax Industries Limited reached agreement with the Province of Nova Scotia to operate the shipyard. Modernization began in 1979, involving a $7.5 million mill upgrading and replacement program of yard infrastructure, and purchase of a floating dock to complement the existing graving dock. In 1983 a new Panamax floating dock was installed, capable of repairing the largest-sized ships on the eastern seaboard.
- By 1985 the shipyard had become bankrupt and was purchased by a group of Nova Scotians who renamed the company Halifax-Dartmouth Industries Limited.
- In 1994 the company was purchased by the Irving-owned Saint John Shipbuilding Limited and renamed Halifax Shipyard Limited.
- In 1996 at the special convention of MWF resolution is past for whole Federation to join Canadian Auto-Workers union.
- In 2004 Marine Workers Federation disbanded and Local 1 becomes chartered directly through CAW.

text: I've done a search and found nothing on here about FESS pipes. As a newb, I bought a standard Dr. Grabow, but wanted a long pipe. I found one of their churchwardens on Amazon and have had it for a while now. It's not the nicest pipe, but it smokes good and I was wondering if anyone else out there has one or has any opinion on these.

Verizon anticipates that it will blanket the nation with 4G LTE coverage by the middle of next year, roughly six months faster than initially expected. Speaking at a media/telecom conference today, CFO Frank Shammo advised that Verizon's 4G network will closely mirror their 3G network within the next 6-8 months. Well ahead of schedule and its competition, the carrier already spreads to more than 250 million Americans, or most of the country.
