Johnston is a town in Edgefield County, South Carolina, United States. The population was 2,470 at the 2012 census. It is part of the Augusta, Georgia metropolitan area. The town's official welcome sign states that it is "Peach Capital of the World."
Johnston is called The Hub of the Ridge because it is located at the meeting place of the three river systems which flow away from the Ridge, a fertile plateau about thirty miles long between clay hills to the north and sand hills to the south. The area has been settled since the mid-1700s. In 1791 as George Washington traveled through the area on his triumphant tour through the country, he stopped at the Lott family plantation, just east of Johnston.
In the late 1860s, the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad expanded westward from Columbia to Augusta. Edward Jones Mims, M.D., persuaded William Johnston, president of the railroad, to run the railroad through the 1200-acre Mims plantation. In return, Dr. Mims agreed to name the new town for Mr. Johnston.
In the early 1900s, the peach industry became successful in this area. Today, the Ridge produces about sixty percent of South Carolina's peaches.
Johnston is located at 33°49′55″N 81°48′8″W / 33.83194°N 81.80222°W (33.831927, -81.802304).[3]

I need to recover one file
I lost my .tax2012 file by deleting the trash. Will ProSoft Data Rescue 3 recognize the extension, and where do I install it without a partition?
MacBookPro 10.6.*

You cannot just recover 1 file, you will have to recover your entire drive.
Make sure you have a spare drive the same size or a enough space on your hard drive.
Recovery of files is also dependant on if you have copied over that file you are looking for.
So if you need to recover a file make sure you recover straight away.
Hope this helps :)

this is a bit long and I'm sorry. I'm trying to channel my feelings on paper and I don't even know if it makes sense or got my feelings across.
My SO have been arguing/disagreeing/not getting along almost since the moment LO was born. I'm beyond frustrated- I feel like I can't take this anymore. I WANT things to work out so badly for LO but for us too and I'm not even sure what to do. He often will go weeks without spending much time with us or LO which are sometimes for reasons he cannnot control but often his decisions to hang with his friends or do something with the fire department play a part in it. He feels as if has "a right to go out with his friends without feeling guilty" which I agree but when it's been weeks since he has spent time with LO I have to say I don't feel like going out with your friends is of importance. LO at one point last weekend didn't even want to go to him because he hadn't been around in weeks hardly so she kept reaching for me instead of going to him. There are so many issues between us I feel like smaller issues are now magnified into a big deal because of the other crap. I'm sorry if this is going all over the place, I just have so many thoughts and disappointments my mind is racing. He also has dog that sleeps in the house and nearly every night, it takes a crap in my dining room on my rug. Yes, the dog is let out but clearly cannot hold his poop over night OR does it on purpose. So this morning I suggest the dog either stay out in the garage or sleep in kennel and SO says no. I'm like. ok well I guess he's just going to keep shitting in the house every night? His response is "guess so." I just don't get it. First, it's completely disgusting. 2nd, we have LO who is crawling all over the place and I don't even want here NEAR the dining room because SO just picks up the poop and doesn't clean the carpet with any type of cleaner or anything. It's GROSS. I don't care for the dog period but I do deal with it but the shitting in the house almost every day has just got to go.
SO also isn't very affectionate- or well at all. He says he is but I can't seem to get him to see things from my perspective. Sex.. well i think we've had sex like 3 times in the past 5-6 weeks or so. Grant it part of that time he was with the National Guard during hurricane Sandy evacuating people for 4 days. He came home Halloween night to trick or treat then sleep then left again at 4 am for antoher 4 days. So it's not been home every night, either.
He's getting deployed in a few months for a long period of time... I don't know if this arguing is normal or what. It's not secret I want to get married but he has no plans on it. He has always held the possibility of being deployed over my head and now that he is getting deployed, again he says maybe when I get back but definitely not until then. He left his mom is charge of all of his finances ( which are separate from mine) while he is deployed. He says he heard of too many stories about guys getting dumped while deployed or find out they'e been cheated on so that's his reasoning for not committing. He also uses the same excuse for allowing his mom to take control over his finances, he has seen too many people get screwed over. He tells me not to take offense to it and that's it's not about me but how can I not take that personally? I feel like i'm being targeted and almost punished for the actions of others. Our house is in just his name as is the electric. So his mom having control of the finances just really irks my nerves. It makes me feel like she has control over me. I will add here I've never spent any of his money in a irresponsible way or at all i don't think. I'm usually the one spending my money lavishly to do things for him. For example the last 3 years i've taken him to nashville, tn to the NFL football game and just a nice getaway. For my birthday for the past 3 years he's been busy. this year i got a text that said happy happy birthday and that was it. I didn't get a present at all. (my birthday was nov. 3).
How do i fix this. how can I stop being so annoyed and angry every time he does something that i don't like. I feel like i'm on this ride and we've been on it so long the smallest things sends me off to bitch mode. I'm not sure how we will ever survive a deployment with the way things have been. We tried counseling- we had about 3-4 sessions then things got crazy busy when he was out of town for Sandy and we've not been back yet. Does anyone have any insight. I'm desparate for ideas/help/thoughts/criticism!

UPDATE 7/31/2012 - Since this post new versions of SQL Server & Visual Studio have been released. To install the latest version of SQL Server see SQL Server Install. For more information on working with SQL Server Local DB in Visual Studio 2012 see Working with SQL Server LocalDB in Visual Studio 2012 and the MSDN Library SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB.
One of the first things I always do after installing Visual Studio is to install SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Visual Studio 2010 installs SQL Server 2008 Express on your machine but doesn't include SSMS. Although you can use Visual Studio to create/connect/design databases, I like having SSMS around for advanced management. I recall SSMS for SQL Server 2005 was a simple install, unfortunately they threw the kitchen sink into the SSMS 2008 installer and I'm always confused at which buttons I need to push to get it to do what I want. So I'm writing up this blog post for two reasons 1) So I remember the steps and 2) So you can be less frustrated :-) (BTW, a birdie tells me that the SQL team is looking at making this installer much simpler in the future. Hooray!)
Okay the first thing you need is to make sure you get the right version of SSMS. If you installed Visual Studio 2010 then you will need the 2008 version (not R2).
STEP 1: Download Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Management Studio Express and select either SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe or SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe depending on your machine's OS bit-ness. I'm running Windows 7-64bit so I'll be detailing the steps as it pertains to that OS.
STEP 2: Make sure you're logged in as an administrator of the machine then right-click on the exe you downloaded and select "Run as Administrator". If you're on Windows 7 then you'll get a compatibility warning. Click past it for now to continue with the install. Later you'll need to apply SQL 2008 Service Pack 2.
STEP 3: You should now see the "SQL Server Installation Center" window. Yes it looks scary. Select the "Installation" tab.
STEP 4: Select "New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation". It will then run a rule check. Make sure there are no failures and then click OK.
STEP 5: The next step is misleading. The Setup Support Files window looks like it's doing something and stuck on "Gathering user settings." It's actually waiting for you to click the Install button! Doh!
STEP 6: Another rule check. You'll probably end up with a Windows Firewall warning this time. If you want to enable remote access to SQL Server you'll need to configure the firewall later. Since I'm using SQL Server Express for development purposes on this machine only, I won't need to worry about that. Click Next.
STEP 7: Okay here is the step I always mess up because it's just not intuitive at all. On the Installation Type window you have a choice between "Perform a new installation of SQL Server 2008" OR "Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008". You need to select new installation, NOT add features. I know I know, totally weird. You would think that since you just want to add SSMS that it would be Add features to existing instance – I mean I don't want a new instance, just the dang tools. Sigh. Click Next.
STEP 8: Next you get the Product Key window. You obviously don't need a product key for SQL Server Express since it's free so just click Next.
STEP 9: Accept the License Terms and click Next.
STEP 10: Okay now for the window we've all been waiting for - Feature Selection. Check off "Management Tools – Basic" and then click Next.
STEP 11: Verify your disk space requirements and click Next.
STEP 12: Help Microsoft improve SQL Server features and services by selecting to send usage and error reports to them (or not). Click Next.
STEP 13: Another quick rule check runs. Click Next.
STEP 14: Now it looks like we're ready to install. Click the Install button.
The install will kick off and will take about 5 minutes to complete.
STEP 15: Once the installation completes, click the Next button again.
STEP 16: Complete! Click the Close button and you should be all set.
STEP 17: Fire up SQL Server Management Studio! You should now see it in your Programs under Microsoft SQL Server 2008. Make sure you run it as an administrator for access to all the features.
And don't forget at some point to install the latest SQL Server 2008 Service Pack. I hope this helps people who have just installed Visual Studio 2010 but also want to install SQL Server Management Studio. I know I'll be referring to my own post on this when I need to do it again :-)
Thank you very much. I was going crazy after installing and re-installing SQL Server several times without being able to install SSMS. I really believe MS should update & improve the installer - not intuitive at all.
Thanks. Easy to follow guide. Perfect.
Thanks a lot!
Your article helped me to aviod a lot of problems.
Wouldn't you mind, if I will translate it to Russian and post into my blog? With your name and reference to ths page, of course.
Thanks! Life saver :)
Heart felt thanks for the details provided
Fantastic guide - Great screen shots and really well written.
Why do you say check off - you should just say check, or check on:
Check off "Management Tools – Basic" and then click Next.
Thanks for the great info. It is SO counter-intuitive!
This was very helpful!
Thanks for this explicit step-by-step guide. Great!
Thank you so much for this. It always impresses me that people take the time to provide a step by step guide. I was flummoxed by the the compatability warning and kept trying to deal with that! thanks again.
Very helfpul reference, used it to add Mgmt Studio to SQL 2008 Express evaluating a vendor product. The screen shots helped greatly to see where Mgmt Studio is pulled in.
Thank you for a great - clear - informative tutorial.
It was a fantastic help.
Thank you for this, step 7 kept me at bay for awhile.
we must to install the same version for microsoft sql server and management studio.
Both, For example sql server 2008 and studio 2008

It appears that there are foam bits stuck to the edges of your film door. That looks like deteriorated light seals. It's very common for any camera over 20 years old.
Try to tape up the edges with some black masking tape for the remainder of this roll and see if it helps.
You can get resealing foam kits on ebay for about 10 or 15 dollars.

What film have you seen the most? How many times have you re-watched it? What did you discover with further viewings? What keeps drawing you back?
Taxi Driver I think I have seen it 10-15 times. I see new things every time in that film. What keeps drawing you back? Well it is my tied favourite film of all time so naturally I love seeing it, plus seeing everything in this film is just brilliant. I do not want to watch this for a long time though, I fear I may have over-watched it.
I have also seen The Green Mile (one of my favourites) quite a few times and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and The Shining a lot of times. The Shining is a great rainy day film!
Most probably Barton Fink.
"Lawrence Of Arabia"..on TV, in the theaters, on DVD, more times than I can count.
I even did my college senior thesis on the filmdiscussing the film's depiction of T.E. Lawrence versus the real life T.E. Lawrence and the WW1 desert campaign to see if the screenwriters and director David Lean changed the facts any and how much (turns out that many of the scenes, set pieces, and characters actually happened and existed…while many dates and war/historical events were very much altered and changed)…which only made me love and be intrigued by the movie and its version of T.E. Lawrence's larger than life story, even more.
The first time I saw it in theaters I was in college and it was shown as part of an Academy Award Film festival and I had never seen it in a theater on a large screen (which is the only proper way to see this masterpiece of cinema.)..
I also first saw the film on TV, (and many many more repeat TV showings after that) when a large section of the film had been edited out for time limitations and also was lost..and then many years later was restored, first in 1989 and re-released in theaters…and I saw it in theaters then too.
It also was just re-released in theaters by Fathom Events this past October to commemorate its 50th anniversary & its 2012 release on Blu-Ray and was didgitized and remastered so I saw it yet again.
As I have loved this movie all of my life from childhood through my teens to adulthood, to later…I continually see, notice, and am moved by new and different nuances of the film and emotions that the film evokes for and in me and that I learn or come to know in its relation to the art and craft of filmmaking, to the real T.E. Lawrence, ( who I continually read, research, and learn about), to Peter O'Toole (my very favorite actor) to David Lean, (my very favorite director).
Lawrence is one of those movies that if I see it on, I stop down to watch it, particularly if it's still in the first half of the film, which has all those great introductions.
I've probably seen one of the original Star Wars movies the most. They dominated my childhood (the first one was my first movie in a theater, way back in '77).
Actually I have probably seen all 6 Star Wars films hundreds of times, childhood.
As a kid I watched Indiana Jones 2 and 3, the Bond film License to Kill, Home Alone 2, Dumb and Dumber and the 3 Star Wars films probably over 20 times. As a teenager I watched The Shining, Scarface, Godfather, Pulp Fiction, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Goodfellas probably over 20 times. Today I can watch the films made by some directors over and over again, like Kubrick, Hitchcock, Godard, Tarkovsky, Bergman, Powell, Bunuel and other great filmmakers.
The Indiana Jones trilogy is another, I really love those films, even though they are not the best ever made, they are very fun and rewatchable, I must have seen them 20 times at least.
Probably Lost In Translation. Believe it to be around 10 times
Probably Lost In Translation. Believe it to be around 10 times
"Innerspace" about 80 times, "The Princess Bride" about 60, "Charade" about 35, and as for Star Trek films – I've lost count!
Star Wars Trilogy, Raiders, Psycho, A Hard Day's Night, 2001, The Shining, early Mel Brooks, Nashville, Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, The Blues Brothers, The Muppet Movie
Star Wars, Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Flash Gordon
Casablanca, North By North West and To Kill a Mockingbird. I've seen each of them countless times and never tire of them. I revisit them at least once a year. I always notice more detail especially with the peripheral characters when I revisit movies.
Too many times to count, I have seen: D2 The Mighty Ducks, Little Giants, It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, Christmas Vacation.
The first two are just films I loved as a kid, and would watch them on repeat during summers and other days off school. The last three, well, I'd guess I've watched them at least once a year since forever (or at least since CV was released, since I'm older than that movie).
probably A CHRISTMAS STORY or something. Watched PETER PAN and THE LAND BEFORE TIME a shittonne of times as a kid. As a young adult I watched WAKING LIFE at least ten times
For theatrical viewings I saw SCOTT TRILLGRIM VS. THE WORLD five times. Also DAZED AND CONFUSED four and MOONRISE KINGDOM four
Bijoux, I just watched D2 about two or three weeks ago. Was less than impressive, much like the first film. Emilio is terrific, and the rest of it, including the kids, are on autopilot. But it's a childhood favorite for you; I got plenty of those you probably wouldn't shake a fist at.
Vertigo, North by Northwest, Rear Window. I can possibly safely say that I've seen those films at least twenty times. Must have seen La Dolce Vita at least six times rented then at least ten times owned. Have seen Citizen Kane and 8 1/2 maybe twenty times. James Bond's The Spy Who Loved Me at least twenty times. The first copy that I had on videotape I watched so much, that I wore down the tape. Maybe Psycho a bunch of times as well. And Lawrence of Arabia and Apocalypse Now I've seen a lot as well. Lawrence probably at least ten. Apocalypse at least ten, maybe fifteen. And a lot of Stanley Kubrick's films I have see a lot as well. Clockwork Orange, 2001, Dr. Strangelove, Shining, I've seen at least twenty times. A lot of these films I list here I owned on videotape first before I had them on DVD and it was a much smaller collection before I owned a lot of DVDs and some more tapes. But I think Star Wars, the original one I've seen countless times on TV, laserdisc, videotape, DVD and the first time in the theater. It was the first film that I remember seeing. Also, sometimes, when I don't know what to watch of my DVDs, I pop in Blade Runner. Maybe I've seen it forty times. I usually get something more out of it with each time and it's just a beautiful cinematic experience.
Steve: lol. I guess I should have put a warning next to my post : Just because I watched the film a lot doesn't mean it's a good film.
I'd say Class of 1984 or Magic starring Anthony Hopkins. In my teen years my friends and I watched these movies over and over again. To this day I know every word of Class of 84 and can say every line of dialogue as the characters say them.
Million times i was and still huge fan
Am not fan like i was before but every time the end sequence give me same chilling feeling allready miss it
Very nice , Very nice …./ doc by lipasett
Also million times and after while you even ask yourself why am watching this alot , no reason just seems likeable to me
double clicks
I've probably seen The Third Man or Mulholland Drive 4-5 times, but for the most part I don't really get the thing of constantly rewatching films, for three main reasons. One is that there are too many worthwhile films I haven't seen to continually revisit ones I have. I'd hate to be on my deathbed having seen one film 20 times and 20 greatly acclaimed films not even once. Second, for me at least, a films flaws show up more on repeat viewings rather than strengths – emotional scenes for example, can have their effects numbed whereas something as a particularly bad supporting acting performance or a conspicuously bad shot (there's one in Third Man that kills me) stand out more and more. Thirdly, the actual act of watching films isn't that big a thrill for me, I find much more joy in reading and talking about films rather than actually sitting down and watching them.
Now that you mention it, I have see the first 3 Star Wars flicks the original trilogy, (sorry the prequels just don't do it for me) gazillions of times, as well as all the James Bond flicks, Jason And The Argonauts (on TV and rereleased in theaters) just the coolest stop action movie ever! and…please guilty pleasure here so no quips from the peanut gallery on …Flashdance…probably seen it hundreds of times at least, on TV, in theaters, DVD, and more.
Also, The Sundowners, The Crow,
…and one of my favorite films ever, Ridley Scott's Legend. If this scene doesn't make you tear up you are indeed, made of stone..
and the best, most perfect ending to a film ever!
Citizen Kane. Seen it 50+ times.
"Its depths surpass understanding." -Roger Ebert
Forgot to add, the Alistor Sim version, (the best version of its many film realizations) of "A Christmas Carol".
taxi driver.Seen it many times
taxi driver.Seen it many times
Raiders of the Lost Ark. Maybe 30 plus times. I think I saw it about 10 times when it was still in theatres.
Treasure of the Sierra Madre. That could be 20 plus too, at this point. I just get drawn into that movie every time I see the opening credits play and hear that Max Steiner score (which I've mentioned my enthusiasm for in another thread here, I believe).
I think I've upped my viewership of John Carpenter's The Thing these past few years. 10-15 plus.
Lots of re-viewing of both Chaplin and Keaton feature length films, but especially City Lights, and a toss-up between Keaton's The General and Steamboat Bill Jr.
The Big Lebowski more than 15 times.
Original Star Wars (the first one ever made) about 40 x.
The Blues Brothers more than 15 x.
Zoolander about 10 x.
LOTR about 5 x (each film)
Needless to say, they're not my favourite films, they're just easy, and great fun, to watch. Lebowski is particularly delightful every single time – Quotes Heaven – and fantastic with a beverage.
I always feel guilty after watching something more than three times, thinking it would have been so much better if I'd dedicated that time to expanding my horizons with something great that I've not yet seen. I know I've cheated myself out of a potentially amazing, new experience. And I guess that's exactly what I'm doing whenever I rewatch. Still…

The only reason why I didn't give this park a 10 is because of some "longer-term" residents who could spruce up their site, and who leave for work very early in the morning. Other than that, this park is perfect, beginning with the folks in the office. Wonderful people who love their job. (Maybe they own the park?) The park is in the city of Arlington, between Fort Worth and Dallas, but far enough removed from the roads that's it's pretty quiet. We were bumped up to a premium patio site with table, chairs, fireplace and a swing. Came for one day but stayed for 2. - Voyageurs

This KOA is located in a busy part of Arlington but once you're inside the park you'd never know it. Access to the park is easy from either I-20 or I-30. The location makes it easy to explore both Dallas and Ft. Worth. The park itself has paved roads and gravel sites. The roads are wide and the turns are easy so we had no problem maneuvering even with the toad attached. Our pull-through was significantly longer than our total 63' length and faced a green space. The park is clean and the staff were pleasant and efficient. We had several packages delivered to the park while we were there and they were held in the office for us. The only thing that could have been improved IMO was that the security gate was broken during the first part of our stay and then didn't seem to be used often (or at all) even after it supposedly had been fixed. The neighborhood immediately adjacent to the park isn't the best (although it doesn't look all that bad) and a functioning security gate would have been nice. As with most RV parks these days there are quite a few long term residents but their rigs and the park were attractively maintained. - docj

This is a large, clean park. There are some permanent or seasonal sites, but they are well kept up. The gravel sites are long and have picnic tables. The staff is friendly and helpful. Restaurants and showers are clean and relatively modern. There is a large, clean laundry, with newer machines. There is a small playground, a pool with chairs around it, & and a dog park. There is a small club house with couches and the kitchen. The wifi works at the club house, but we were only two rows away and it was very inconsistent. It takes about 45 minutes to get into Dallas from the park, but we were unable to find a park closer to the sights we wanted to see. The price is a little high, at $55 for the nightly stay. - JJ1951

This was our third stay at this campground. The first two stays were flawless. Passport America was only good for 3 nights of our 5 night stay. Excellent, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, 30 & 50 Amp power, which worked good, and are conveniently placed, as is the sewer and fresh water hook-ups. They provide an escort to your site, which is nice. The roads to the sites are paved, wide and easy to navigate. The sites are gravel and generally level, with cement pads to step onto from your RV. Most seemed adequate in size. We checked in and were assigned to site #106, which was terrible! Our steps unfolded into tree and extremely uneven. We requested a different site and were reassigned to site #119, which was excellent. The next day, I received a phone call from the campground and was told that site #119 was a premium site, and because we had not paid the full price (Passport America discount), we had to move! I secured our reservation for this campground on November 24, 2014. I was then told that if we didn't wish to change sites, we could receive a refund, we could go somewhere else! The last full day of our stay, I was approached by campground staff who told me that someone else was scheduled to come into your site that day! After he contacted the office, we were "allowed" to stay in our site. Training for the office staff is definitely needed. Overall, this is a nice RV park and we would stay here again. - Randy C

We have stayed here before and really liked Treetop. Park has run down in the few years it has been we were there. Roads are really bad. Lots of BIG holes. Tree branches are a worry. Had a wind storm and a couple of rigs got hit by falling limbs. Front awning is ripped. Flag is ripped. Workers are not very friendly. The bathrooms are clean and the laundry has new washers and dryers. Lots of permanents in the park. Storage and "stuff" makes park look unkempt. Not many choices in the area though so if we are in area guess we will stay here. - Retiredandlovinit
Feb 2015 - $19.00
We've stayed here a couple of times in the past. Rate reflects the $555 monthly rate (which goes up soon to $595+elec). Monthly rates have increased with no visible improvements to the park. The north end offers more space and level lots, but sites cost more. The south end is more picturesque but sites are generally closer together and less level. They need to repave over potholes. I'd estimate about a third of the park is short term campers with the rest on monthly stays. People were friendly. WiFi is crappy Tengonet and not free for monthly users. Both ATT & Verizon have strong signals. Overall, this is a great location and a very good RV park. - Danno

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
It's so easy to be disappointed with a superhero videogame. They always start off with such great potential. After all, who wouldn't want to play as some dude who can fly around and punch other dudes through walls? The problem is, superhero games very rarely live up to our expectations. Sure, every now and again you get a good game along the lines of Superman 2 or Marvel Ultimate Alliance, but more often than not, you end up with a Batman: Dark Tomorrow or Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer. The problem stems from the fact that it's tough to design a game around an exceptionally powerful and nigh invulnerable protagonist and the sad truth that most licensed games are terrible. What does it say about the genre that one of the games that best recreates the feel of being a superhero isn't even a superhero game? Yeah, we're talkin' about you, Crackdown.Still, hopes were high for Iron Man, which is of course based on the new (and quite awesome) movie starring Robert Downey, Jr. The pros...

Ambulance deal shorted city, whistle-blower says
Former head of San Diego operation says $12 million could be at stake
Jay Goldstone, the city's chief operating officer who works for Sanders, said there is clearly a need for better oversight and the city would be seeking a different relationship with Rural/Metro going forward.
"It is very troubling. We need to tighten things up," Goldstone said. "It's not a reflection on the quality and level of service we've been receiving, but clearly at a corporate level there was misbehaving. If it proves that they owe us money, then we will go after them to collect what is owed."
Company officials said all money they tapped from the partnership was used for legitimate expenses of providing emergency services.
The central allegation by the whistle-blower is that Rural/Metro chose to book bad-debt collection revenue outside the partnership's bank account from 1997 to 2007.
That revenue totaled between $1.5 million and $2.5 million each year and was to be split evenly between the company and the city but instead was kept by Rural/Metro, according to the whistle-blower lawsuit filed by Robert Heffner, who ran San Diego Medical Services for the company.
Chris Kevane, general counsel for Scottsdale, Arizona-based Rural/Metro, said the company believes that San Diego received every penny it was owed under the partnership terms and a fuller examination of finances will find no wrongdoing.
"We do understand the city's need as a governmental agency to look at the issues alleged in the whistle-blower lawsuit," he said. "We look forward to working with the city in resolving the issues that were alleged and we're confident the claims are unsubstantiated at this point."
San Diego was alerted to the issue when Heffner sued his former company last year. Separately, the City Auditor's Office began reviewing the partnership's finances. The issue wasn't made public at the time because the lawsuit was sealed by a local judge until earlier this month. Goldsmith, the city attorney, worked to gather more information over several months and reached a deal with Rural/Metro that he hopes will avoid a nasty and expensive lawsuit.
The agreement, reached earlier this month, calls for Rural/Metro to pay for a forensic accounting of the past 13 years of partnership finances and put up a $7.5 million surety bond securing any future city claim.
The two sides also agreed to reach a more traditional outsourcing contract — abandoning the public-private partnership — for the coming fiscal year by June 15, ahead of the city putting the ambulance service up for competitive bid in the near future.
Goldsmith said the city's involvement on the board of the partnership amounted to a conflict of interest, and said the relationship with Rural/Metro became a one-sided affair as the company maintained all of the financial records and had far more expertise in the industry.
"To have a long-term partnership with a company like this that knows their business and provides their services, which we don't really know about, with very complicated accounting is a prescription for problems," Goldsmith said.
In his lawsuit, Heffner said that Rural/Metro began including the debt collection funds in the partnership's bank account in March 2007 after he raised the issue to high-level executives. He assumed that the company had repaid the money from previous years to the city but discovered three years later that that never happened. He was fired a few days later in March 2010 and filed the lawsuit in August.

Ever since I updated to 4.5, most everything I load, stops in the middle of loading to inform me of "duplicate IDs". Not a big problem, but does mean I have to stay at the desk to click through scenes as they load. Is there anyway to eliminate this (reload 4.5—and if so, will I need to reload all content - yikes!)
which leads me to this: all my PEOPLE in Smart Content, now load morphed to a shape, all the same shape, but never the base shape. Is there a fix for this (reset?) Not sure what I did, but I did something..
Thanks for your help..

Harper High School senior Taylor Reid has recently been awarded two track and field honors for her accomplishments during the recent competitive season.
She was included in the lists of both the top 15 All-Star and All-State selections in the 1A, 2A and 3A divisions as determined by the Texas Girls Coaches Association's Track Committee in the 1A, 2A and 3A division.
Harper won the girls' Region IV 1A championship earlier this year, with Reid helping the Ladyhorns finish first in both the 200-meter and 400-meter relays (with teammates Sydney Collins, Payton Reid and Megan Myers). The girls won the 4x200-meter event in a time of 1:47.17, a school record.
Members of the Ladyhorns' team, including Reid, recently advanced to the UIL state championship meet at the University of Texas at Austin where the 4x200-meter runners finished in fourth place.
Fredericksburg Independent School District (FISD) will offer free physicals for local student athletes tomorrow, Thursday, May 22, in the Fredericksburg High School cafeteria.
The physicals — for all FISD, St. Mary's School and Heritage School student athletes — will be open to all female athletes from 5:30-7:15 p.m. on a first come, first served basis.
Male athletes will be offere physicals, also on a first come, first served basis, from 7:15-9 p.m.
Packets and all athletic forms for any returning FISD student athletes are available on the Fredericksburg High School (FHS) athletic web site.
It is the FISD athletics policy that all students who plan to participate in the athletics program must have a completed physical and all athletic forms turned in to the FHS athletics office prior to participation in any practice, scrimmage or game officially sponsored by the school district.
This will be the only free physical offered by FISD in 2014.
Six members of the Fredericksburg High School varsity squad were named to the All-District 27-3A Baseball Team announced last week.
Freshman Wade Davis was one of two players chosen as Newcomer of the Year along with Gavon Gonzales of Wimberley.
Sophomore outfielder Blake Moffett was named to the first team, while second team selections went to senior pitcher Kody Behrends, junior catcher Braden Bowers, junior first baseman Kyle Guynes and senior outfielder Riley Neffendorf.
The 2014 Harper High School baseball team had 11 members named to the District 29-1A All-District squad, including five chosen for the first team.
The Longhorns finished the season with a 6-4 league record (12-10 overall) and tied with Mason for third. Harper, however, did not qualify for the post-season playoffs.
Those named to the top list were seniors Levi Lashley (pitcher) and Preston Adkins (designated hitter), 11th graders Trace Boatright (catcher) and Lane Fajkus (middle infielder), and sophomore Cooper Boatright (third baseman).
Second team honors were earned by 12th grader Cassidy Deike (outfield), junior Guy Stevenson (pitcher), and 10th graders Justin Jones (first baseman) and Easton Hansen (outfield).
Junior Cole Elliot and sophomore Chase Lowman were named to the Honorable Mention rolls.
Competing against Texas' best, three Fredericksburg High School athletes earned points in their divisions at the State 3A University Interscholastic League Track and Field Meet on Friday and Saturday in Austin.
Samuel Studebaker finished fourth in the boys' 800 meter run, Chase Whiting was fourth in the girls' 100 meter hurdles and Lauren Smith was sixth in the girls' pole vault.
The state meet was held at Mike Myers Stadium on the University of Texas at Austin campus.
Samuel Studebaker
Studebaker's appearance at the state meet was the second for the FHS junior.
And with a time of 1:59.55, Studebaker was fourth in the 800 meter run.
"Our goal for Sam was to return to the state meet, which he did, and to improve upon his finish from last year," said head track coach Dan Aldrich.
By Danny Hirt —
Six members of the Harper High School girls' track team participated in the UIL 1A State Track and Field Meet held Friday on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin.
One runner — Logan White — managed to get to the finals podium with a third place finish in the 100 meter hurdles in a bronze medal-winning time of 15.31.
As a team, the Ladyhorns finished the meet in ninth place in the Division I standings.
The relay team of Sydney Collins, Taylor Reid, Payton Reid, and Megan Myers took fourth place in the 4x200 meter event in a time of 1:47.17, setting a school record in the process.
Despite losing their first game to Center Point in a best-of-three scenario Friday by a 2-0 score, the Harper High School Ladyhorns bounced back to win the next two contests, 12-2 and 8-7, and will now advance in the Region IV-1A softball playoffs to the regional semifinal round.
District 29-1A representative Harper, 21-8 and ranked sixth in the most recent Texas Girls Coaches Association 1A poll, will now face No. 7 Shiner in a two-out-of-three playoff set for Friday and Saturday on the campus of Texas State University in San Marcos. The first game starts at 7 p.m. Friday, with Game Two to be played Saturday at 2 p.m. A third contest, if needed, will be held later on Saturday.
The Heritage School track teams, including (front row, from left) Coach Matt Hoermann, Jamie Hoermann, Kami Jones, Lindsey Pressler, Coach Lisa Sultemeier, Claire Pedregon, (back row) Coach Jeremy Wentrcek, Elliott Grimes, manager Jackson Bernard, Chad Johnson, Joe Lucas, Leighton Klepac, Skylar Kitzmiller, Jacob Huser, Parker Given, manager Jonathan Tucker and Coach Brad Sultemeier, finished in second place Friday and Saturday at the TAPPS state 1A track and field championships at Baylor University in Waco.

Heritage School captured second place in both the girls' and boys' divisions of the TAPPS state 1A track and field championships held Friday and Saturday at Baylor University in Waco.
In both cases, the Eagles finished just a few points behind Amarillo Ascension.
The Heritage boys were led by Chad Johnson who earned four first place awards — in the high jump, pole vault, 300 meter hurdles, and as a member of the 4x400 meter relay team (along with Skylar Kitzmiller, Parker Given and Joe Lucas).
Last week's victory in the pole vault event was his fourth in that sport during the past four years (see separate story).
For the Heritage girls, Kami Jones took first place in three events — pole vault, 100 meter dash and 200 meter dash — while teammate Claire Pedregon brought home two gold medals (triple jump and 100 meter hurdles).
It's been said that lightning never strikes the same place twice.
For Heritage School's Chad Johnson, however, the number of strikes is more like four times.
Last week, Johnson picked up his fourth consecutive pole vaulting gold medal during the TAPPS 1A track and field championships held on the Baylor University campus in Waco.
In 2011, Johnson's freshman year, he took home the crown with a height of nine feet even. From there, he improved every year — to 11 feet in 2012 and 13 feet in 2013 — until he reached the heavens with a vault that registered 14'6".
Suffering from a high ankle sprain he'd suffered in the past few weeks, Johnson was not able to prepare himself physically the way he'd have liked. "A lot of the time I just visualized," Johnson said. This type of practice, while not recommended, actually allowed Johnson to improve his form.
Three Fredericksburg High School athletes will represent their school this weekend at the University Interscholastic League 3A State Track and Field Meet, held at the University of Texas in Austin.
Sophomore Lauren Smith will compete Friday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. in the girls' pole vault, junior Sam Studebaker will compete in the boys' 800 meter run Saturday around 12:15 p.m. followed by sophomore Chase Whiting, who will run in the girls' 100 meter hurdles Saturday around 12:20 p.m.
"For the past week and half, our three athletes have been working extremely hard and are focused to attempt to represent FHS," head coach Dan Aldrich said. "The chance of making it to state each year in 3A is around 1.6 percent. That is a very small chance and we are excited about the opportunity that lies before us this weekend. For all three athletes, the chance of medaling in the top three spots is closer that some may think."

ComEd proves smart grid means jobs, but governor may veto it anyway
Quick Take: I urge all utilities to emulate the excellent job ComEd has done to document the jobs created by its smart grid initiative. As you will read below, it just submitted data showing 2,400 new jobs in Illinois in 2012. Linking smart grid to jobs and economic growth is precisely the way to get the public and the regulators on your side.
Sadly, ComEd can't seem to get Illinois' governor on its side no matter what it does. Gov. Pat Quinn vetoed the smart grid law the first time around but was overridden by the legislature. Then regulators balked, forcing ComEd to revamp things. The new plan has the blessing of the legislature but observers predict the governor will try to kill it anyway. - Jesse Berst
Last month the Illinois House on an 86 to 28 vote passed legislation already approved by the state Senate that increases the amount of revenue ComEd can receive for its smart grid initiatives. But as the Chicago Tribune reports, Gov. Pat Quinn is expected to veto the bill just as he did back in 2011. And while the legislature did override the veto, the Illinois Commerce Commission and ComEd had different interpretations of the law when it came time to implement it. That dispute is still making its way through the court system. The bill just approved by the legislature addresses some of the issues in dispute.
With all of that going on, ComEd just released findings from a report it submitted to Illinois regulators detailing the 2,400 full-time equivalent jobs created in 2012 as a result of the 2011 Smart Grid law.

Kidding Around in Love Child
Unless writers-performers Daniel Jenkins and Robert Stanton have recently traveled to California and had their collaboration solemnized, one can safely presume that their comedy Love Child was conceived out of wedlock. And it seems, as Gloucester says of his own illegitimate kid in King Lear, "there was good sport at [its] making." Partly an adaptation of Euripides' Ion and partly a tribute to the madness and disarray of theatermaking, this two-actor, dozen-character play allows the actors to write themselves various plum roles. Under Carl Forsman's direction, Stanton (tall, skinny, with great hair) and Jenkins (less so) play numerous actors, a stage manager, an agent, a director, and even a sound-board op, occasionally breaking into '60s pop numbers with titles such as "Foster Boy" and "Mama's Little Mistake."
Most of the action centers around the opening night of the play-within-the-play, the Ion adaptation, performed at a Red Hook theater that doubles as a sausage factory. Unruly audience members (also played by the pair) interrupt the show with carrot-chomping, soda-glugging, and cell-phone conversations. The Ion actors don't behave, either: One launches into a stand-up routine, another passes out from a Klonopin overdose. Chaos and revelations of paternity ensue. The script's a bit inane, as are several of the characterizations, but there's great joy in watching Stanton and Jenkins transform themselves so speedily and wholeheartedly—they really love their little bastard.

Officials kicked off a series of public meetings about the topic Thursday at Sandusky High School, where about 20 staff members, parents and community members gathered for preliminary discussions about the district's facility needs.
Superintendent Eugene Sanders gave a 30-minute presentation and then offered guests an opportunity to ask questions.
Topics discussed included:
• The district's transformation plan, which it will release in March 2014. It will lay out aggressive recommendations for the future of Sandusky Schools, including possible facility projects.
• The Ohio School Facilities Commission, a state organization that provides partial funding for construction or renovation projects it oversees. Currently, the commission would fund 54 percent of a Sandusky Schools project, with local taxpayers footing the remainder of the bill.
• The need for community members, parents, students and staff members to provide feedback about their goals for the plan and a possible partnership with the Ohio School Facilities Commission.
Thursday's meeting was the first of more than a dozen scheduled meetings regarding the district's transformation plans.
The open meetings, which will take place in almost all district buildings in January and February, aim to generate discussion about improving all aspects of Sandusky Schools. Anyone can attend.
Facilities will be the most-discussed issue, but other topics include athletics, academics, fine arts, food services and transportation.
The gatherings were slated to start Monday, but inclement weather forced officials to cancel several this week and reschedule them for later dates. Attendance Thursday was sparse, but Sanders said he's hopeful future meetings will be well-attended.
He stressed no decisions have been made yet regarding facilities, but discussions must occur.
"I imagine, 100 years ago in Sandusky, people like us sat around and planned the future of this city," Sanders said. "This is our time to wrestle with those tough decisions, and to determine if we're brave enough, strong enough and visionary enough to lay the foundation for the next 50 to 75 years. I encourage all of us to be active participants in this process"
Here are some questions asked Tuesday, and a summary of how district officials responded to the concerns:
Q: Should we hold off on a building project, in hopes the Ohio School Facilities Commission could provide even more funding in the future?
A: It will likely be more advantageous to lock in a rate sooner than later, but the decision will be based on many variables, including community feedback and what new buildings we need, if any, to meet our academic needs. The amount of funding the Ohio School Facilities Commission provides fluctuates each year. It is related to the socioeconomic status of our district, as well as other districts in the state of Ohio.
Q: How would we determine how many buildings we need and what size they should be?
A: Our facilities must match our dynamic academic plan. No decisions have been made regarding the configuration of the grades in any future buildings, and the community must determine what best fits our needs. The only requirement from the Ohio School Facilities Commission is at least 350 students utilize any building we construct.
Q: Could other local institutions help pay part of a building's cost?
A: Yes, local institutions, organizations and businesses could partner with us to provide funding for part of our buildings and also benefit from their construction.
Q: What is the average lifespan of a newly constructed school building today?
A: The Ohio School Facilities Commission estimates buildings typically last for 50 to 60 years, on average, but that is severely impacted by how well we take care of them. Our city and district has historically done a great job of taking care of even our oldest buildings.

Top Gear chats to Nico Rosberg
Mercedes F1 driver takes some time out to go sideways and talk shop…
Posted: 12 Feb 2012
"The problem [with racing in the 80s] is the danger", he shoots off quickly, to suggest he's probably thought about this more than once. "Then again if you ask me as it was, I would say I'd race right now, but the cars themselves were better I think, in the 1980s."
His answers are measured and calm, even when - probably exhausted by the numerous times he's been questioned on it - I ask him about his relationship with his dad. "He's always been helping me out, earlier more than now, but it's a very gradual thing. He's very much in the background now, but he's happy to help when I ask him."


text:
The words of support come from Aspen, where a retired chief executive opens his wallet to help defray the costs of cutting-edge DNA analysis. They flow off the keyboard of a former state water-quality commissioner who launches a letter-writing campaign.
And they weave through the corridors of the Buena Vista prison, where fellow inmates, even guards, wish Tim Masters luck.
With every new revelation about flaws in his 1999 murder conviction more people step in line to support Masters' bid to prove his innocence in the 1987 slaying of Peggy Hettrick.
"The inmates believe in him," said Donald Grubb, a former teacher at the prison who worked beside Masters every day for a year in 2005. "They know who's a con and who isn't."
Joining three former Fort Collins police officers, a former Colorado Bureau of Investigation director and a local physician - who maintains that a 15-year-old couldn't have performed the surgery necessary to produce the wounds to Hettrick's genitalia - is a growing alliance of the influential, the mainstream and the incarcerated. Masters was convicted of murder based on circumstantial evidence, largely his violent drawings as a teenager.
But despite the police department's loss of two hairs discovered on Hettrick's body, the bracelet found on her wrist and other forensically testable items connected to another suspect, Masters' attorneys were able to recover Hettrick's clothing for advanced skin-cell analysis at a lab in the Netherlands.
Unidentified skin cells found
Those tests turned up none of Masters' DNA, his attorneys told The Post. They did glean an unidentified male genetic profile from skin cells lining the inner band of her panties.
The story of the evidence mishandling and police's failure to investigate Dr. Richard Hammond, who was arrested in 1995 for secretly photographing women's genitalia with hidden cameras in his bathroom, has outraged former Fort Collins detectives who had doubted Masters' guilt and now believe Hammond had the surgical skill to inflict Hettrick's wounds.
Now others are joining the chorus.
Myrna Poticha, a former state water-quality commissioner under Gov. Dick Lamm, has phoned and written Colorado government leaders, urging them to closely watch his case.
"As an environmentalist, this issue is far afield for me," Poticha said. "But Masters' story was so compelling that I could not remain silent."
The case also caught the interest of Thomas Congdon, past chairman of the Denver Art Museum and a former chief executive for an area oil exploration firm.
He has volunteered to help foot the cost of Masters' soaring defense bill - to this point the most expensive publicly funded innocence bid in state history.
"I was touched by his story," Congdon said. "It raised enough doubt in my mind that I want to help. "
Masters' allies actually began privately coming out of the woodwork years ago.
After Masters was sent to Buena Vista, employees within the prison began contacting Linda Wheeler-Holloway, the former lead Fort Collins detective in his case who now is convinced of his innocence.
"They were asking me, 'Are you sure this guy is a murderer?"' she recalls. "They were saying that he just doesn't fit in with the others."

As a freshman girl, I came to Duke with initial reservations about the "hookup culture" here. After reading an article in "Rolling Stone" that describes Duke as a school in which serious relationships don't exist and random sex and hookups are prevalent, I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to create the kind of relationship that I would want. After being here for a semester, I've realized that although that sort of "hookup culture" mentality does exist heavily at Duke, you can take what you want from it.
Yes, I met my boyfriend at a frat party. Yes, we went to Shooters the first time we hooked up and yes, we made out on the dance floor. But, even though it's not common, there is a way to progress from that. Recently, we discussed how at Duke it is much more intimate to hold hands on the quad than it is to have sex with someone. Although I've been reassured by friends and peers to "enjoy my freshman year" and not deal with the "baggage of a boyfriend," I'm happy with my decision to go against the grain and have a relationship that actually means something.

- 10 slices white bread, cubed
- 1 cup cubed cooked potatoes
- 3 cups (12 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 eggs
- 3 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- Dash salt and pepper
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp; add ham and onion. Cook and stir until onion is tender; drain.
- In a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish, layer half the bread cubes, potatoes and cheese. Top with all of the bacon mixture. Repeat layers of bread, potatoes and cheese.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs; add the milk, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour over all. Cover and chill overnight.
- Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 65-70 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 16 servings.

The Miami Dolphins are expected to release defensive end Phillip Merling, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported on Monday, citing a source. Merling was issued a tender at $1.1 million last month, but has been a disappointment in four years with the club. The 27-year-old Merling collected just four tackles in 10 games last season and has 66 in 47 career contests. He also has 3.5 sacks and one interception in his career.

1. The rule of thumb for focal length being equal to the diagonal of the format is based on taking lenses at infinity. Lenses used at closer than infinity (i.e., greater bellows distance) can be shorter.
2. Four versus 6 elements: I'd rather have a 4 element lens perfectly aligned than 6-elements with some elements off center. Some 4 element lenses are of low cost design; others, notably the El Nikkor 50mm, and the Schneider Comparons (no longer being manufactured) are excellent performers when used at their designed magnification ratio. I have a nagging suspicion that some of our preferences for specific lenses come down to specific examples, where the alignment is exactly right tested against other examples where the alignment is off a little.

I look forward to seeing RG3 in action again, however he must restrain himself from his competitive nature, and learn to slide down when pursuit is inevitable. Taking hits for more yardage will cheat the fans out of a full season of good football if he's injured again. Robert is a good passer and has a good offensive line to give him adequate time to find his targets. I wish him the best of health and a Super Bowl winning year.

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III will start the season opener for the Washington Redskins. Griffin will start under center for the Redskins opener on Sept. 9 against NFC East rival Philadelphia. This is hardly news as nearly everyone had penned the 23-year-old to be in the starting lineup for the Redskins. Griffin will visit Dr. James Andrews on Thursday for a final check up and to get medical clearance. Andrews had previously cleared Griffin before training camp and will simply examine the quarterbacks knee again.

CLU has reasons for optimism
The Cal Lutheran softball program has a couple of new features this year, and both of them should be quite helpful.
One is a new home, Hutton Field.
The other is depth on the roster.
A year after going 22-13 with just 11 players — eight position players and three pitchers — and finishing second in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference at 16-8, coach Debby Day's squad will experience the comparative luxury of a 15-player roster with the 2007 edition of the Regals, who opened their season Friday by splitting a doubleheader with visiting Cal State East Bay.
More players mean more options, and Day welcomes that.
"As a coaching staff, we can have pinch runners this year," says Day, who is assisted by Harry Day and former player Prudence Kjontvedt. "We have the luxury of using pinch hitters, of using the DP (designated player, softball's version of the designated hitter) more platooning a little bit more.
"We're big believers in putting out a starting nine or 10 but I feel confident in any of them."
Those players will enjoy their new home field, part of the North Campus athletic complex. It replaces their old facility, Gibello Field, which was tucked away behind some dorms on the far edge of the CLU campus.
"It is exciting," says Day. "I think our players are thrilled to be fielding ground balls that are true, and the outfield is just pristine. It really is a good time to be here.
"It takes nothing away from where we were, but being over here, I think it ups our spotlight. I think it will bring more support on a fan level, which I think is important for our players."
While the Regals have graduated their top three hitters — including All-American infielder Kjontvedt, second in the nation in batting average as a junior and a .456 hitter last year — and two pitchers, seven players return.
Leading that list are pitcher Lizzy Chacon, a first-team all-conference selection, and second-team outfielder Shauna Cogan, the team's only senior.
Chacon, a sophomore from Moorpark, led the pitching staff in wins (11), decisions (19) and earned-run average (3.16) a year ago, and also batted .280 with 11 RBIs. Cogan, from St. Bonaventure, is the top returning hitter, having batted .320 with a home run and nine RBIs.
Joining Chacon on the pitching staff are Megan Allain, still rehabbing from shoulder surgery that caused her to miss last season after going 11-7 with a 3.16 ERA in 2006, and two newcomers: Molly Mercer, a transfer from Mount San Antonio College, and freshman Kaitlyn Luebben-Halvorson.
"When we can get Megan back, we'll just be that much deeper," says Day. "Our philosophy with pitchers is to just throw strikes. We are going to win if we just throw strikes. We have the defense, we definitely have the hitting. We just need pitchers that can allow the rest of the field to shine."
In the infield, the defense backing that pitching staff is mostly set. Sophomore catcher Emily Robertson — "A tremendous leader," says Day; "does a great job behind the plate" — returns after batting .271 with one homer and 19 RBIs last year. She'll be backed up by freshman Alex Petznick. At first base will be freshman Katy Bateman (Camarillo High); at shortstop, sophomore Susie Nicoll (Buena High), who Day says "came on really strong" and "has done a great job;" and at third will be freshman Katie Strang (Moorpark High).
The one position still unsettled is second base, where sophomore Brittany Ordos (.128 in limited offensive opportunities) and junior Nikki Campbell (.278, 11 RBIs) are competing. "They're both doing a great job," says Day. "I guess it's a good problem to have."
Campbell played center field a year ago, and will continue to see some time there. Along with Cogan and Allain, who can also play in the outfield, the outfield picture includes three freshmen: Erin Lewis (Hart High), April Rosas (Valencia High) and Brianna Horton (Lake Havasu, Ariz.)
"We lost some really good players," says Day, "but the talent we brought in, we feel really good about. They're young, but experienced — they're all travel-ball players, they all have extensive history, they're fun, and they're really hard working. I think our returning players have set a very high bar and have been good about showing them our work ethic and our style.
"We can be very good this year. I think we have the potential to be great next year, but we are not saying this is a rebuilding year. I think we can win (the conference) this year."

How did the most trusted financial system in the world become the breeding ground for the massive corruption uncovered in the Enron and Worldcom scandals? The simple answer is greed. Greed so blinded CEO's, auditors, and even members of Congress that they allowed a gang of rogue executives to rig the game and cheat investors out of $200 billion, wiping out the life savings of many unsuspecting Americans.In Corporate Crooks, veteran USA Today investigative journalist Greg Farrell explains how this breakdown happened. The book shows how incentive compensation for CEOs, combined with the decline of the American auditing industry, led to a series of spectacular accounting frauds, not just at Enron and WorldCom, but at other companies as well.Farrell details how a series of seemingly minor Congressional actions—from a law penalizing corporations for paying salaries in excess of $1 million to a Senate vote to scuttle a rule calling for the expensing of stock options—created the conditions that led to the accounting abuses that eventually brought gigantic corporations down.Written in a straightforward, explanatory style, Corporate Crooks allows the average investor to understand the root causes of the biggest accounting frauds of the past five years. But understanding how these frauds took place isn't enough. Farrell also arms readers with the knowledge they'll need to judge whether the next fantastic, fast-growing company of the new economy is a genuine business success or another Enron waiting to implode.

Leopard is set to be a big trend for autumn/winter with designers including Burberry Prorsum and Simone Rocha featuring it in their collections. Start off small with the ostentatious print with this leopard clutch: the zip front is a great hardware detail that helps to break up the pattern.
