The Collins High School football team opened the 2014 season as defending Class 4A State Champions, but the Titans, who returned only eight starters from last year's title team, have a long way to go to repeat.
Host Simon Kenton, which was 10-0 and advanced to the Class 6A quarterfinals, raced out to a 20-0 lead and coasted to a 33-14 win in the season opener for both teams.
The Collins High School girls' soccer team has had rough start to the 2014 season. The Titans dropped their third straight game to start the year, 2-1 to Bethlehem Tuesday night, but there are signs of improvement.
After falling 8-0 to Scott County and 6-0 to DuPont Manual, the Collins recorded its first goal of the year when Jill Solinger scored off an assist from Lee Johnson in the second half.
A fairly unproven Collins boys' soccer team may have proven something Monday night.
The Titans tied North Oldham 1-1 – in a matchup of preseason Top 20 teams – at the Mustang Classic at Collins.
With almost an entirely new starting lineup the Titans, who are 18th in the Maher Rankings' preseason poll, played the reigning 8th Region champion, and ninth-ranked Mustangs, to a draw in the season-opener for both.
Shelbyville professional golfer Brandon Brown had his best finish in a Web.com Tour event in two years this past weekend.
Brown tied for 30th in the News Sentinel Open Presented by Pilot, which ended Sunday, with a 9-under-par. He carded a collective 275 (66-72-67-70) at Fox Den Country Club in Knoxville, Tenn. It was his best finish in a Web.com event since 2012, when he finished tied for 24th in the then-Nationwide Tour's Stadion Classic.
The Shelby County girls' golf team finished fourth in Anderson County's Joy of Golf Invitational on Saturday.
The Rockets carded a collective 331 at Wild Turkey Trace Golf Club in Lawrenceburg. Taylor County, which tied for sixth at state last year, won the tourney with a 319. Boyle County was second with a 325 and Scott County third with a 330.
"Overall we did very well," Shelby County Coach Melissa Young said.
Sophomore Lilly Young led the way for Shelby County, finishing fifth overall with a 4-over-par 76.
Sarah Robinson
The Collins graduate is a junior midfielder/forward for the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods women's soccer team.
Last season:Robinson was a contributor for the Pomeroys, who went 4-8-1.
Season-opener:The Pomeroys open their season Aug. 30 against Calumet College of St. Joseph.
Zach Shipley
The Shelby County graduate is a redshirt freshman wide receiver on the Murray State football team.
Last fall was a fabulous one for high school sports in Shelby County.
Three state championships were won, along with four regional titles and three district crowns.
The Collins boys' golf team graduated all five of its starters from last year's Region 6 Tournament, but new coach Lance Alexander has been pleased with what he's seen so far.
"I'm very impressed, very encouraged," said Alexander, who was hired to guide the Titans late last month. "I like what I'm seeing so far."
The Collins girls' golf team won its first match of the season, beating host Henry County by eight strokes on Wednesday afternoon.
The Titans carded a collective 198 to the Wildcats' 206 at Henry County Country Club.
Henry County's Maddie Hensley earned medalist honors with a 40, but Collins senior Mary Borders and junior Claire Watts fired 45s to tie for second. Meanwhile sophomore Mallori Webb added a 50 for the Titans.
Wildcats senior standout MacKenzie Peyton didn't play in the match.
Walker Andriot
The Collins graduate is a redshirt freshman defender on the Xavier University men's soccer team.
Last season:Andriot redshirted for the Musketeers, who went 10-7-2.
Season-opener:The Musketeers, who play exhibitions at Indiana on Tuesday and at IPFW on Aug. 23, host Lipscomb on Aug. 29.

Gulf of Paria
The Gulf of Paria (Golfo de Paria in Spanish) is a 7,800 km2 (3,000 sq mi) shallow inland sea between the island of Trinidad (Republic of Trinidad and Tobago) and the east coast of Venezuela. This sheltered body of water is considered to be one of the best natural harbours on the Atlantic coast of the Americas. It was originally named Golfo de la Ballena (the Gulf of the Whale) by Christopher Columbus, but the 19th Century whaling industry eliminated whales from the area and populations have never recovered. Cartographic sources of the late 18th century repeatedly refer to the gulf as Golfo Triste (the Sad Gulf).[1]
The Gulf of Paria is connected to the Caribbean Sea to the north through the Bocas del Dragón (or Dragons' Mouth) between the Paria Peninsula of Venezuela and the Chaguaramas Peninsula, and to the Columbus Channel to the south through the Boca del Serpiente (Serpent's Mouth) between the Cedros Peninsula and the Orinoco Delta.
The Gulf of Paria is a brackish water body - wet season salinities are below 23 ppt (parts per thousand). The extensive mangroves along the Venezuelan and Trinidadian coastlines are important wildlife habitat and probably play a crucial role in regional fisheries. The Gulf itself is an important fishery. Major ports include the Port of Port of Spain and the Port of Point Lisas in Trinidad and the Port of Pedernales in Venezuela.

Current Research:
Early Levantine hunter-gatherers lived in a world largely unrecognizable from our own, yet we have inherited the compounding consequences of a constructed environment rooted in the legacy of Epipaleolithic (23,000-11,500 cal. BP) innovation, including the first huts, intensive plant-food processing and landscape modification. These otherwise obscure dynamics of human culture can be observed by studying how people used plants in the past. For this dissertation I employ micro-botanical techniques, analyzing phytolith and starch evidence, to investigate the long-term patterns of Epipaleolithic plant-use in the Eastern Levant, present day Jordan. These findings detail how Epipaleolithic hunter-gatherers used, modified, and changed their environment.
While it is recognized that human-environment interactions increased at the start of the Holocene (10,000 cal. BP) (Smith 2011, 836), this dissertation argues that as early as the late Pleistocene (ca. 23,000 cal. BP), Epipaeoloithic peoples were actively engaged in a dynamic and reciprocal relationship with their environment. During this period the region experienced extreme shifts in climate due to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The relationship between people and the environment under the abruptly changing climate of the Late Pleistocene Levant has been referred to by many authors investigating Epipaleolithic use of wild cereals as a prelude to cultivation, but until recently it has rarely been the focus of studies investigating hunter-gatherer adaptations and diverse wild plant collection strategies. This is due, in part, to the poor preservation of macro-botanical remains at Epipaleolithic sites, with the exception of Ohalo II, Israel.
To address this gap in research, I am analyzing phytoliths and starches from sites in the eastern Levant, and comparing these to the phytoliths and starches from Ohalo II. This research has the potential to provide a baseline for future micro-botanical studies in the region and could make a considerable contribution to current arguments about the importance of the wetland to Epipaleolithic adaptations (Rosen 2012, 2013, Olszewski 2000, Olszewski and Coinman 1998, Jones and Richter 2011, Richter et al. 2013, Cordova et al. 2013). The temporal and regional breadth of the sites in my study provides a unique platform from which I aim to consider the dynamic and reciprocal relationship between the changing Pleistocene environment and hunter-gatherer plant-use in the Levant, contributing to broader discussions of hunter-gatherer resilience and adaptation in abruptly changing environments.

wow ! the revolution of 3D home printing and shared plans ( Open source) is just a reality now ! print an Arm form my disabled brother ! #Rifkin #antifragile #agile
Richard Platt's curator insight, June 20, 11:44 AM
The arena of prosthetic limbs is one of many examples of the way 3D printing and other increasingly accessible DIY technologies are helping drive innovation. From fashionable wear on the runway at Maker Faire Bay Area to Nicolas Huchet's adaptation of the InMoov arm for his own hand, printed prosthetics are beginning to flood what was once a highly expensive medical device market with DIY options that are not only affordable, but customizable and even fun.
Exiii's version focuses on precision, as well as open hardware — Wevolver maintains a repository of the project plans and code. "I get pretty furious when I think about how patents are preventing people from accessing technology that will change their lives," says Norris, whose grandmother had a paralyzed right arm. "She used to joke all the time about getting a robot arm," he says. "It just kind of stuck with me, it's been something I've always dreamed about."

Maryanne Godboldo, right, is embraced during a rally Saturday at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church in Detroit. Godboldo is facing charges including three counts each of assault with a dangerous weapon and resisting and obstructing a police officer.
- Filed Under
Her situation has sparked debate on hot-button issues: traditional medicine versus holistic treatments and state involvement in medical care of children.
Supporters said Maryanne Godboldo was a mother fighting for the right to control her daughter's medical treatment. Some even said the Detroit woman was defending her home from a perceived unlawful entry when police tried to break down doors to get her daughter.
Authorities, however, have accused Godboldo, 56, of firing a gun at police officers while they tried to carry out a court order to take her daughter. She is charged with several ...

Ok i touched on this subject with ortelius in the battery for lflex thread, but didnt want to hijack the thread any more than i have done..
At the moment i use turboferrets 18650 holders with cheap trustfire cells, now that I've been building some juice sucking lights i need to advance on my battery packs..
I know i can buy 18650's with solder tabs, if i want to build for example a 14.8v 5000mah pack i will need 8 18650's 4S2P.
Do i simply solder the pack together? is heat an issue here?
Im assuming i would use non protected cells if i was to use a balancing charger?
advice on chargers would be great, so far i've looked at these
How do i wire in balance leads? what do i need?
which connectors do i need? JST? can i wire a JST to a RCA or jack plug?
What are advisable charge rates?

Cheap Flights to Sudan
For availing vivacious & pulsating adventures, cheap flights to Sudan are up for grabs for all tourists who want a dramatic getaway. View the archaeological site of Meroe where the pyramids of Kushite Kingdom remind of the Nubian life along the banks of the Nile. More pyramids and tombs lie in the sandstone Gebel Barkal which the folklore suggests to be birthplace to deities respected by the local tribes, while the ruin city of Naqa includes the revered Temple of Amun. The Nile River forms as the central feature breathing life across Sudan's deserted landscape.

Press release from Business Wire
Western Union Unveils New Education Initiative around UEFA Europa League to Deliver One Million School Days
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Western Union Unveils New Education Initiative around UEFA Europa League to Deliver One Million School Days19:01 EDT Wednesday, September 12, 2012 LONDON (Business Wire) -- The Western Union Company (NYSE:WU), a leader in global payment services and new Global Partner of the UEFA Europa League, and the Western Union Foundation, today announced they will turn every successful pass in this season's competition into funding to support one day's education for young people around the world. Western Union and football star Patrick Vieira unveil PASS around UEFA Europa League to deliver one million school days. (Photo: Business Wire) Called PASS, the initiative will be fronted by former international football star Patrick Vieira and start during the Group Stage of the UEFA Europa League Season 2012/13, which kicks off on September 20 across Europe. The initiative aims to reach one million school days over the next three seasons and builds on the work the company has already done to support education globally. "Moving money for better is at the heart of what we do, and education is one of the main reasons our customers send money," said Hikmet Ersek, Western Union President and CEO. "According to UNESCO1, 71 million bright, hardworking students globally are not enrolled in secondary or vocational education. It's a tremendous loss of economic and human potential, since each extra year of school can increase an individual's potential economic opportunity. Through PASS, we intend to harness the power of football to build awareness of this challenge as well as deliver on-the-ground support that will make a difference to young people and their communities." The initiative will provide teacher training and student scholarships through nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), with an initial focus on eleven countries – Brazil, China, Colombia, Jamaica, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, Romania, Russia and Turkey. "Where I come from, opportunities for a quality education are rare," explained Vieira the former AS Cannes, AC Milan, Arsenal FC, Juventus, FC Internazionale Milano, Manchester City FC and French international player, who was born in Senegal before moving to France at the age of eight and is currently football development executive at Manchester City FC. "Football was my ticket to success, but for the vast majority of young people education is the key that allows them to become whatever they want to be. That's why I'm supporting this campaign. It will benefit students, teachers and schools across the world, particularly in places that need it most, like Senegal where I was born," said Vieira. Through the UEFA Europa League's global audience, football fans from Africa, the Americas, Asia as well as Europe, will also be given the chance to add to the fund during the season through a range of online and social media mechanics. David Taylor, CEO of UEFA Events S.A., commented: "As well as being broadcast to fans in over 200 countries, European football is the aspiration for many players around the world and last season players representing 113 different countries were involved in the UEFA Europa League. Through Western Union's PASS initiative, many of those players will be able to give something back to their hometown communities beyond simply the excitement and entertainment they create on the pitch." The PASS initiative will convert each successful pass completed during each match played from the Group Stage to the final of the 2012/2013 UEFA Europa League into funds to cover one full day of school for one student, to be allocated and distributed based on the educational needs and costs of each identified market. This initiative will run for the three years of Western Union's sponsorship of the UEFA Europa League until 2015. To support PASS, Western Union will also be carrying out a comprehensive marketing and communications programme that will seek to involve its customers and UEFA Europa League fans from around the world.

Born on January 17, 1706. Remember the time he met Captain America?
A tribute to Marvel's Frankenstein. Created in 1973 by Gary Friedrich (creator of Ghost Rider), the first issue of his first comic was called "The Frankenstein Monster." The first four issues simply retold the movie story, but then it began to get original.
Admittedly, the next three issues drifted. But in #8, pictured above, he met Dracula. Dracula had already been in his own comic (and that will be the subject of another "Comic Book Monsters" post), but cross-pollenation is the Marvel way anyway.
Perhaps the coolest thing about this comic started in #12. There, he got frozen and ice and revived in the present-day Marvel universe.
Just like Captain America!
Warning: Spoilers abound below.
I was one of the first people in Virginia to see Captain America: Winter Soldier, but I wanted to sit with it for a few days before putting pen to paper. Don't get me wrong: I loved it, and I knew I loved it, and I knew I wanted to see it again as soon as it was over. I also knew that, while it had its flaws, it was one of the best comic book movies I've seen.
And as far as actual comic book movies go, it was the best. Now I don't mean it was the best superhero movie of all time (I'd put X2 or Spider-Man 2 in that place). It wasn't even the best Marvel Studios film. (I'd rank Captain America: First Avenger and The Avengers higher.) But it was a fantastic example of comic-book-as-movie. More on that later.
In short, I loved the film. But unlike the first Cap film, and unlike Avengers and both Thors and all three Iron Mans, it wasn't a "fun" movie.
I don't mean it wasn't fun to watch, and I certainly don't mean it was without humor. The opening shots of the hero jogging around the Washington, DC, monuments are light and funny and a perfect introduction to the tone of the film: Steve Rogers is a part of the world now, but he's also part of the past. He is a piece of living history. And, frankly, his films are as well: In a time when America is more cynical than ever, and when our government is failing us more often—and more obviously—than even before, Captain America still has meaning. Not just as a popcorn hero like 007 or Thor, but as an icon.
When I say it isn't a "fun" movie, I mean it's serious. And dark. The Iron Man movies are all about Robert Downey, Jr. They are completely narcissistic (and in fact that is the main storyline in the third film). The Thor movies tried to be big and epic, but by necessity they are also other-worldly. The Avengers was terrific, but it was a smash-em-up. Ditto the most recent Hulk (which as a matter of the Marvel U I don't think is part of the major storyline). I liked Ang Lee's Hulk film, and it's clearly not canon, but it was dark in an introspective, almost horror kind of way. Captain America confronts head on the cynicism the world feels about America as a superpower, the role of superpowered governments, and the role of superheroes within them. It's serious. It's a challenging theme. And it's one we really haven't seen before in the world of comic book movies.
The closest we came to this was the last Batman movie, where evil was able to take over a city and hold it hostage. But there, the enemy was clearly terror: Batman worked with the Gotham police department to free the city. Big government swooped in to support him, and the day was saved. That is the exact opposite of Winter Soldier, which ends with the dismantling of the largest and most ambitious government project of all time.
You might argue that the X-Men movies explore this theme, but they don't. The center of the X-verse is racism, not government control. Sure, there are shades of the 1950s Communist witch hunts and direct references to Nazi Germany, but those mostly serve as reminders of the depths of where human prejudice can take us as a people. Captain America: Winter Soldier is not interested in exposing human ignorance or frailty. It is purely about how societies protect themselves from insurgence, and how governments—no matter how well-meaning—eventually serve to self-perpetuate such that, given a choice between the right thing for their people and eliminating threats to continued dominance, the governing body will opt for power over justice every time.
It's the perfect story to form around an idealist who gave up his body and his life to become his country's greatest experiment.
So when I say the movie isn't "fun," I guess I mean it isn't "light." People certainly liked it. At my theater, there were lots of cheers and shouts. As of this writing, it's got a 95% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 89% positive response from critics. And it's box office ($96 million domestic) was the biggest April opening of all time, taking in $30m more than the first Cap film. In just a week, it's earned $303 million—the first one made $370m during its entire run.
So there will be more Cap movies, for sure.
As a technical film, Cap is terrific. There are several challenges here (the quick flying Falcon being one of them), but they all work well and the choreography of the fight scenes is especially worth noting. Each character has their own fighting style, and each fight matters. It's almost like an old kung fu movie in that respect. Whether it's Batroc's leg-boxing, Black Widow's nimble leaps and swift kicks, Cap's shield bouncing all over the place, or Winter Soldier's deliberate and economical (almost Batman-like) approach to combat, it's all filmed incredibly well. Better than any other superhero movie to date, in fact.
The movie also works because of the people around Steve Rogers. First, we have two relics of the cold war who can't stop fighting. Nick Fury, who fights using his brain and his influence, and Black Widow who fights purely on instinct. It's not that she's dumb, it's just that, as Fury says, she doesn't ask any questions. Then, there's Sam Wilson. The Falcon. Not only is he played brilliantly, but he represents our most recent war (he's a veteran of Operation: Desert Storm) and he fights using new, almost "Iron Man like" technology. He's willing to fight, but only for something he believes in. He is the bridge between Fury's hardened world view and Captain America's constant (almost to a fault) desire to believe in the good of Americans.
A brief paragraph about the perfect casting: Anthony Mackie as Falcon is brilliant. He totally gets that he's a side character, but he imbues his character with enough importance that we easily could see him carrying a movie all on his own. I've never been a fan of Black Widow's casting before, but with this film, I finally got it. She's sexy and she knows it, but she's not stupid about it. She uses her beauty as a tool, but it's hardly her only tool—it's not even her most impressive one. Samuel L. Jackson keeps the scenery chewing to a minimum and as such is able to carry his role with heft. He gets an extended solo scene in a car chase, and it's easily the best car chase I've seen in years. It should be hailed as the standard-bearer for this cinematic trope. And yes, that means I'm looking at you, Fast and the Furious 7.
The only weak link in the cast is the wooden Robert Redford, who seems to be miserable every minute he's on screen. And at the same time, his character the weak link of the story. Super hero movies need a big bad, and a government executive simply isn't it. Winter Soldier isn't the bad guy in this movie, he's just a victim. Captain America can't beat him too badly, and we can't even root for Cap to punch his face in because we know he's a good man who has been tortured and brainwashed. Not to mention the fact that the big finale is a little too much like the big Helicarrier fight scene in Avengers. The big flaw in Captain America: The Winter Soldier is in the third act. More precisely, there isn't a third act.
There's no resolution at the end. It's clear this film is an installment, not a stand-alone film. A piece of the story of Winter Soldier. It's a development and progression in the character of Captain America. But it's just a piece. And thus, when the final credits roll, it doesn't feel like the movie is over. This is accentuated by the after-credits scene. Like all the Marvel Studios films before it, the scene looks ahead to the next storyline, but instead of looking forward at Avengers 2 or Guardians of the Galaxy, it looks directly at Captain America 3. And that's too far off. In the end, this movie feels like the middle of a trilogy.
But perhaps therein lies the brilliance. After all, comic books are serialized adventures designed to lead you from issue to issue. Perhaps Captain America: Winter Soldier is the best comic book movie of all time because it is, in fact, a comic book?
Only one story of note: CAPTAIN AMERICA: WINTER SOLDIER.
I saw it. It's great. I'm not spoiling a damn thing. No other news needed. But if you're interested….
THE TRIAL OF JEAN GREY. This crossover between Bendis' X-Men books and Guardians of the Galaxy book was a real head-scratcher. It seemed to really be building to something, but that "something" ended up being…Conversation. If I want to see people talking out their problems, I'll go back to Kindergarten. This is a comic. Gimme some explosions. Bendis' work since he ditched the Avengers for mutant titles has been…Less good. I like his GotG comic, but I can't say any of it has approached the excellence of his first three years with the Avengers titles. It all feels…Safe. And corporate. Like so much at Marvel these days. Even their "new" fascination with character-driven copies of Hawkeye (see, e.g., She Hulk, Black Widow) feels formulaic. It might be time for a new Editor-in-Chief to shake things up and remind us why Marvel is the best at what it does best and what it does best is capes and spandex.
HARLEY QUINN INVADES SAN DIEGO COMIC CON. This is an actual comic, coming in July, in which Harley Quinn invades SDCC. Because one Deadpool isn't enough, you gotta have a DC one.
BODIES. A new Vertigo series written by Si Spencer and coming in July will look at four murder mysteries from four different eras (19th century, WW2, the present, and the future). Each story will be by a different artist, and all four stories will be developed in each of the eight issues of the series. Obviously, there's a supernatural element to it all (based on Spencer's past writings, which include Hellblazer).
GROOT THE MOVIE. Marvel Studios is drafting a sketch for releases through 2028, including tentative plans for spin-offs for every member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Of course, if the movie tanks those plans will be dead. And speaking of dead, I may not even be alive in 2028, so if they're gonna do a Moon Knight movie, I hope it's soon.
DEATHLOK. And speaking of spin offs, Marvel's SHIELD TV show features Deathlok in a prominent role. Well, now he'll be getting his own comic book. He hasn't been a headliner in almost a decade. No word on whether this Deathlok, like the Ultimate Nick Fury who served as the blueprint for movie Fury who led to a new 616 Fury, will be black like J. August Richards. (That's a reference to the old book, "Black Like Me," for those who didn't catch it, in which a white guy goes undercover as a black guy.) It will spin off of the Original Sin event, which features a subplot about a Deathlok to be written/drawn by Nathan Edmondson/Mike Perkins. And in other "Agents" news…
AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. You can't say they aren't trying to listen to fan complaints: Deathlok is getting cooler and they'll be introducing Blackout. No, not the Ghost Rider villain, the one from Nova #19 who ended up being part of the Masters of Evil in the great storyline about the siege on Avengers mansion. You know, the guy with half an Electro costume. I'm sure he won't wear that on the show.
SUPER SECRET CRISIS WAR. Publisher IDW will tie together its Cartoon Network properties (among others: Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory, Ben 10, Powerpuff Girls) for an all-ages event miniseries.
FABLES. Bill Willingham's long-running, critically acclaimed Vertigo series will be ending with #150.
And with that, I'll wrap for the week.
HIP HOP FAMILY TREE. Dunno how many of you have checked out Ed Piskor's comic book history of rap music, but it's really cool. It's also sold out several printings. Fantagraphics plans to do a boxed set something this year.

I already had some of this discussion with Gold over the weekend & he made some good points that he feels that Hunter is capable of beating anyone in the weight class as he beat Russell (who Alton lost to 3xs) & he beat Marion (ditto 2xs).
While Stieber did beat Russell, he also was pinned in the first by Henderson & 3 weeks ago got majored by Sueflohn, both of whom are true freshmen. The worst Alton was ever beaten was by Kennedy by 4 points. He lost 10 matches by a total of 19 points. So obviously, Alton was not dominated last year by anyone & he did not lose to a single underclassman. All his losses were to ALL-Americans. I'd probably have to take Andrew here. I hope it is a match we get to see next year at 149.
If we ever see Long vs Logan it will obviously have to be with Long at another school. It would have great to see the match up last. Too bad Logan got hurt. If it was last year I would have to go with Long but based upon what I have seen this year I would have to pick Logan.

Singapore Airlines' (SIA) auction for seats on the first two commercial flights of the Airbus A380 has raised nearly S$2 million ($1.3 million).
The Star Alliance carrier says in a statement that nearly all seats are now sold and just 24 remain for 'last chance' bids. They will remain open for bids until the end of this week.
SIA announced in July that it planned to auction seats on the first two commercial A380 flights that will take place over 25-26 October, between Singapore and Sydney, and bidding started two weeks ago through online marketplace eBay. All proceeds are to be donated to charities.
The carrier says the auction has raised more than S$1.9 million to date and the highest bid was $100,380 for a first class seat package. The cheapest single economy class seat sold for $560.
SIA is due to take delivery of the first production A380 on 15 October.

All week long, we've been celebrating Robert Munsch's 70 birthday at CBC Books, and all week long we had a survey up on our website asking which of his books were your favourite. There was so much to choose from (and if you need a reminder, check out our Munsch list here), but in the end, the book that reigned supreme is Love You Forever, his touching story about parental love, devotion, and forgiving your baby for flushing everything you own down a toilet. However, The Paper Bag Princess, starring the irrepressible Princess Elizabeth, was a very close second.

International rugby match preview: Argentina v England
Last Updated: 15/06/13 7:33pm
Stuart Lancaster hands debuts to Kyle Eastmond and Marland Yarde as England aim to complete the double over Argentina on Saturday at Velez Sarsfield.
Rugby league convert Eastmond takes his place in the starting XV at inside centre, while London Irish winger Yarde gets the nod on the left.
Yarde's inclusion means there is no place in the match-day squad for David Strettle, while Eastmond slots into the vacant centre role left by Billy Twelvetrees who was called into the British and Irish Lions squad earlier in the week.
Head coach Lancaster promotes Eastmond from the bench and insists the Bath back has the necessary credentials to terrorise the opposition defence, as England seek their first series win in Argentina since 1981.
"He has got a strong sense of self belief in his own ability which shines through on the training field and he is a dominant player on the field," Lancaster said.
Coincidentally, Northampton's Stephen Myler, who switched codes in 2006, is set to make his international bow from the bench after being named amongst Lancaster's replacements.
England made an impressive start to the two-match Test series with a record 32-3 win in Salta last weekend, the heaviest defeat the Pumas have suffered at the hands of the tourists.
Meanwhile Argentina coach Santiago Phelan has made five changes in personnel as the hosts look to launch a backlash.
Captain Felipe Contempomi has overcome illness to feature in the Pumas half-backs, where he will be joined by Nicolas Vergallo who replaces Martin Landajo at scrum-half.
Gabriel Ascarate comes into the starting line-up at inside centre as Contempomi switches to fly-half while winger Belisario Agulla is preferred on the right with Matias Orlando reduced to the bench.
Up front, Guillermo Roan will take the number one jersey while Rodrigo Baez starts at blindside flanker as Argentina look to strengthen their pack which lost nine line-outs and four scrums in the first Test.
"We must do what we've practiced this week that we didn't do in Salta, play better in the lineouts and scrums," Argentina hooker Martin Garcia Veiga added.
Argentina: 15 Martin Bustos Moyano, 14 Belisario Agulla, 13 Gonzalo Tiesi, 12 Gabriel Ascarate, 11 Manuel Montero, 10 Felipe Contepomi (capt), 9 Nicolas Vergallo, 8 Tomas Leonardi, 7 Benjamin Macome, 6 Rodrigo Baez, 5 Mariano Galarza, 4 Julio Farias Cabello, 3 Maximiliano Bustos, 2 Martin Garcia Veiga, 1 Guillermo Roan.
Replacements: 16 Mauricio Guidone, 17 Pablo Henn, 18 Francisco Gomez Kodela, 19 Esteban Lozada, 20 Tomas De La Vega, 21 Tomas Cubelli, 22 Benjamin Madero, 23 Matias Orlando.
England: 15 Mike Brown, 14 Jonny May, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Kyle Eastmond, 11 Marland Yarde, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Lee Dickson, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Matt Kvesic, 6 Tom Wood (capt), 5 Dave Attwood, 4 Joe Launchbury, 3 David Wilson, 2 Rob Webber, 1 Joe Marler.
Replacements: 16 David Paice, 17 Paul Doran Jones, 18 Henry Thomas, 19 Courtney Lawes, 20 Billy Vunipola, 21 Richard Wigglesworth, 22 Stephen Myler, 23 Ben Foden.
What they said...
England head coach Stuart Lancaster
"There's definitely going to be a reaction from Argentina and what laid the foundation for our performance last week was our set-piece.
"You only get to see the talent to shine through if you get your fundamentals right: the physicality, the contact area, the defence and the set-piece.
"We will also have to deal with what I am sure will be a highly motivated Argentina side."

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
In Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, steps from Las Ramblas and La Boqueria Market
The Petit Palace Boqueria is located in the center of Barcelona next to the little streets of the Gothic Quarter and close to La Boqueria public market, which dates back to the year 1217. Though the area can sometimes attract seedy characters, it is within walking distance to Plaza Catalunya, an important landmark containing fountains and statues. Las Ramblas begins here, as does Passeig de Gracia for high-end shopping. In addition, the Aerobus stop is just a few blocks away and offers direct access from Barcelona International Airport -- a much cheaper alternative than taking a taxi. Overall, the area is rich with historic monuments, restaurants, and nightlife. For public transportation, the Liceu Metro Station is closest to the hotel.
Barcelona -- a cosmopolitan hub for arts, culture, and nightlife -- is the second largest city in Spain and the capital of Catalonia. Located on the northeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula, the city has a Mediterranean climate with mild, humid winters and warm, dry summers.
The Petit Palace Boqueria is a 41-room hotel in a historic building near Las Ramblas and steps from La Boqueria market. Rooms are individually decorated in black and white with leather furniture and colorful details. While mattresses are on the firm side, all rooms have laptops and free Wi-Fi as well as flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. A variety of rooms can accommodate different size groups including family rooms with bunk beds and one room type that can sleep up to eight people. Spacious bathrooms are contemporary with rainfall showerheads. The attractive lobby has exposed brick walls and brightly colored ergonomic furniture along with wall murals. One hotel highlight is the pretty outdoor terrace where breakfast or drinks are served on warm days. While the immediate area can attract some seedy characters, this is a great contemporary pick near the action of central Barcelona.

Chris Douglas-Roberts tumbles to second round
Nets draft former Tiger; Dorsey chosen by Blazers
Chris Douglas-Roberts stayed away from the NBA Draft. In fact, he stayed about as far away as he could get. He booked an early-evening flight from Memphis to his hometown of Detroit, the idea being that he would be somewhere in the North American stratosphere when NBA commissioner David Stern announced his name at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.
That did not happen. Stern kept strolling to the podium and reading other names. J.J. Hickson to the Cavaliers at No. 19. Serge Ibaka to the Sonics at No. 24. George Hill -- yes, George Hill from basketball powerhouse IUPUI -- to the Spurs at No. 26.
The first round came and went, and Stern eventually handed the microphone to deputy commissioner Adam Silver. After nine more selections, which included former University of Memphis teammate Joey Dorsey going to the Trail Blazers at No. 33, Douglas-Roberts finally, mercifully, went off the board.
In one of the more surprising -- and, at least according to many Memphians, unpleasant -- developments of the night, Douglas-Roberts tumbled into the second round, where he was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the 40th overall pick.
"I'm stunned," Memphis coach John Calipari said. "I don't know what else to say but New Jersey got a good player."
Nobody expected Dorsey to go ahead of Douglas-Roberts, a junior all-American who chose to forgo his senior season with the full expectation that he would be selected in the first round, where contracts are guaranteed. Instead, Douglas-Roberts will have to earn a deal. Most, if not all, draftniks projected him to go in the first round.
"He's going to be the guy from the second round this year," said Leon Rose, Douglas-Roberts' agent. "He's going to be that guy. He's done it his whole life. His whole life he's been second-guessed."
On the flip side, Dorsey was ecstatic with his position in the draft. A bruising power forward, he led Conference USA in rebounding (9.5 per game) as a senior.
"It's a dream come true, getting picked by an NBA team," said Dorsey, who attended the draft in New York City. "This is a special time for me. I'm going to live it up for a minute."
He said he was particularly excited about teaming up with center Greg Oden in Portland's frontcourt.
"This is crazy," he said. "Me and Greg are going to be playing with each other. It's an exciting team and a young team."
Sonny Weems, the West Memphis product and former Arkansas standout, went one pick ahead of Douglas-Roberts, at No. 39 to the Chicago Bulls.
Douglas-Roberts, C-USA's Player of the Year after averaging 18.1 points and 4.1 rebounds, spent Thursday morning on familiar ground, helping out at the John Calipari Basketball School. He was surrounded at the Finch Center by 200-odd campers, many of whom barely reached his waist.
He wore sandals, baggy shorts and an Indiana Pacers T-shirt, and when he took questions at lunchtime -- Can you dunk? How tall are you? How old is Joey Dorsey? -- one of the kids touched on his wardrobe: Did that mean he was going to play for the Pacers?
Douglas-Roberts smiled and shook his head. No, it was just one of many T-shirts he had picked up over the past three weeks. He had no idea where he would wind up in the draft, but he said he was "relaxed" and "confident." Calipari indicated that he had been getting plenty of phone calls from teams who owned the 19th through 22nd picks, though he said that Douglas-Roberts could go anywhere from 15 to 30.
But on Thursday night, Douglas-Roberts kept slipping.
"It's inexplicable," ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said.
-- Scott Cacciola: 529-2773; Dan Wolken: 529-2365

Luis Fabiano netted a first-half brace as Brazilian giants Sao Paulo hammered Bolivia's Bolivar 5-0 on their road to the Copa Libertadores group stage. In the first leg of the preliminary round tie Ney Franco's Sao Paulo, who won the Copa Sudamericana last month, showed no mercy and took a surely unassailable lead ahead of the second leg next Wednesday. Jadson was the man of the match with one goal and two assists, starting when he set up Osvaldo to open the scoring in the eighth minute with a neat finish into the top left corner. Bolivar tried to respond and had a couple of sights of goal but in the 20th minute, Jadson and Aloisio combined to set up Luis Fabiano for the second goal. In first-half injury time Bolivar keeper Marcos Arguello failed to hold Aloisio's shot and Luis Fabiano made it 3-0. Osvaldo added another for Sao Paulo 14 minutes after the interval and penalty-taking goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni rounded off the scoring from the spot four minutes later. Ney Franco tol...

text: Explore Your Genes: Create a Family Health HistoryYou have your grandmother's eyes, your father's nose, and your mother's quick wit. But will you also get Aunt Linda's cancer and Grandpa's heart disease? A family health history can help you assess your risk—and take action to prevent diseases you're prone to developing.Does it run in the family?Families share more than last names and traditions. Genetics can contribute to the risk of many common diseases, including:Heart diseaseHigh blood pressureSome cancersDiabetesStrokeIf a family member developed one of these diseases at a young age, you and your children may be at even higher risk. Rare conditions also travel through generations. These include hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia.How to get startedA complete family health history should include three generations. Start by making a list of all your relatives. The most important people to include are immediate family—parents, siblings, and children.For those whose health history you don't know, pick a relaxed and quiet time to talk about it. Explain what you are doing and why. Make a list of questions beforehand so you don't miss anything. Ask:Their age and date of birthWhether they have any chronic conditions, such as heart diseaseAbout other serious illnesses they've had, including cancer or strokeThe age at which they developed these conditionsWhether they've had problems with pregnancy or childbirthWhat other family members passed away fromWhere in the world your ancestors are fromWhether anyone in the family has had birth defects or learning disabilities.Sharing the historyYou can write this information down or record it using a free online tool, such as the U.S. Surgeon General's My Family Health Portrait. Share your family health history with your doctor and your child's doctor. A recent study found three-fourths of doctors would find a computer-generated health history useful in caring for a patient.Your doctor might make different recommendations for you based on your family history. For instance, if heart disease runs in your family, you might have the most to gain from heart-healthy behaviors like eating right and exercising. In addition, you might choose to get screened more often for a disease like breast cancer if your relatives had it.These documents can be especially helpful for children. Chronic diseases like diabetes and heart diseases are rare in kids and teens. But symptoms may appear early in those with a strong family history. If your child's doctor is aware of genetic risks, he or she can be on the lookout for these signs and take them seriously.

Retired SunTrust executive now with TowneBank
February 08, 2013
Reported in: Inside Business
By: Bill Cresenzo
The former president of SunTrust Bank Hampton Roads has joined the region's largest community bank.
Tommy Rueger, who has spent more than 40 years working in banks in Hampton Roads, is now a senior executive vice president at TowneBank, working out of the bank's Pavilion office in Virginia Beach.
Rueger, who retired last spring as president of SunTrust Bank Hampton Roads, said he will be working to help guide the bank's growth, possibly in markets outside of Hampton Roads, even though there are no plans right now to expand.
He said he and Bob Aston, chairman and CEO of TowneBank, have served on various committees together, including Eastern Virginia Medical School's board of trustees.
"Bob Aston began to paint pictures of how I might be able to contribute to TowneBank, and I guess the fact that I have been with a larger, regional bank for as many years could perhaps be beneficial to TowneBank as it continues to grow."
His new position is a part-time job.
Rueger said he expects to work two to three days a week and will sit on the bank's Executive Management Committee, its Credit Policy Committee and its Norfolk and Virginia Beach boards.
Suffolk-based TowneBank has $4.41 billion in assets and 25 branches.

text: I just had my first ultrasound and they think I am 7weeks. However they have told me the heartbeat is only 94 bpm and should be 110bpm, apparently this means there is an 80% chance of miscarriage!!!! Has anyone had this type of diagnosis and was wrong? I am having a very hard time relaxing and I'm worried that this will also affect the outcome. Any advice?

Immensely Creepy...
- Usagi Dolcia
- 10/11/12
I've never seen or heard of this movie before until tonight. I live for anthology and multiple tales/stories. It was one of those movies that was creepy but slow. There was always something happening but never n a way where it was too much for the scene. It was subtle but still had shock value. I recommend this to anyone!
Dead of Night
- Dashiell Barnes
- 10/10/12
Both a darkly funny & chilling horror anthology from Ealing Studios. Johns explains to a collection of strangers that he has seen them in his dreams, Redgrave is terrific in the film's most famous story, that of a schizophrenic ventriloquist. Transitions between the stories are seamless & each of the characters bring something unique, but coherent to the story, each handled magnificently by different directors. So good is the dry humour that we forget that it's a horror film until the twist ending. I give it a 4.5/5.

Saw where Rod Serling and other writers got some of their story ideas(Groundhog Day). I loved this movie. The end was totally unexpected. Some parts actually scared me.
Dead of Night (1945)
- James Higgins

What a brilliant film! Each segment is very entertaining, and in such very different ways, but the final segment with Michael Redgrave is the best. Wonderful production, the cinematography is excellent, great score. Wonderful.
One of the best!

I love this movie! These are real ghost stories. One of the best movies and I never get tired of seeing it.
This movie is great!
