CRESTVIEW — The Christmas parade on Main Street Saturday featured 125-plus groups that celebrated the holidays with floats spanning themes Biblical — Noah's ark, angels — and traditional — Christmas story time, Island of Misfit Toys — along with guest appearances from popular children's characters like Hello Kitty.
However, one parade participant, representing Save Me from the Fire ministry, drew criticism from a number of parade-goers for denying Santa Claus' existence, shouting disparaging remarks about homosexuals and telling people they were going to hell from a megaphone.
Brian Gaines, the ministry's founder and a student at a Pensacola Christian college, drove the truck while recording video footage for the organization's website. James Forrester preached from the truck.
Following the parade, a number of attendees commented on the News Bulletin's website and Facebook page expressing their displeasure.
"What control do the organizers have over the entries?" Tina Bannon said on crestviewbulletin.com. "I was very upset with the man on a (megaphone) saying, 'We are living in a sin-filled world … this world is going to burn.'"
"He said he hated to crush our dreams but Santa wasn't real. My daughter was devastated," Emily Self Hayes said. "You can't say that at a Christmas parade where kids are there celebrating and waiting to see Santa."
The ministry — which has participated in "a dozen parades in the area" since May, said Gaines, who defended the group's message — plans to return next year and, in its own words, more negative than ever.
"Maybe I should have preached more negative. You didn't like that it made you feel convicted about your sins. You hate God and you hate his holy book. Don't worry, I will be back next year," Forrester said.
The truck, which displayed a sign that said, "I am a King James-only, Bible-thumping, fundamental, pre-millennial, Baptist, Heaven-Hell-Hot-Sweet Street Preachin' Believer," presents the Gospel, the ministry stated.
"I suggest they ask why they were offended of the truth," Gaines said. "I don't think anything that was said that night wasn't true."
Some residents said they supported the ministry's right to preach, regardless of its message.
"This is the United States of America; we have a First Amendment right to say what we want. I don't agree with the way this gentleman did it, but I also don't want to be told I can't voice my beliefs," Tony Rowell said.
The Main Street Crestview Association hadn't received calls concerning the preacher, as of press time, Main Street Crestview Association President Ellis Conner said. However, he apologized on the association's behalf for those offended. "We don't want anyone to leave the parade offended," he said.
The issue was to be discussed at the association's Wednesday meeting, when the group would review the parade's positives and negatives.
"We try to screen each of the participants," Conner said. "Twenty to 25 percent of the participants are church organizations. They will continue to be part of the parade."

So I'm spotty at dodging and I hate kiting. At higher levels, am I going to get wasted in PVE? Can I count on my pets to soak up damage for me?

If you don't want to kite better bank on those blinds, daze, knockdowns and other conditions that prevent enemies from attacking!
No idea if ranger has any of those since I don't play it but if you don't want to kite you won't have many options, except if you find a pet with tons of health/toughness.
I hate to sound like an idiot but...How do you kite in this game? What are the keystrokes? I tried jump kiting in WoW and sucked at it.
Umm...kiting is just the act of runnign around while attacking at a distance so that the mob your attacking stays out of range and cant attack you.
You wont be kiting as a melee...and you wont be using skills that requier you to stand still whike attacking unless you can run far enough away fromt he mob to allow for the cast time.
All it is is keeping a distance between you and the mob while you range attack it and while the mob is too far from you to hit you.
With 1 mob you may make it with pet and the few CC spells and dodging only. With single trash mobs you dont have to move at all.
If you get 1 add and you have your elite-CC (Lvl 30) already, you are still fine, standing still and dodging, trapping a bit.
But latest with the next add you are going to kite. It is not like EQ, where you could keep multiple mobs snared or rooted forever. You will run out of CC/dodge, if this mob is stubborn. I usually strafe-kite then and use my shortbow. However, I am strafing anyways, even with just 1 mob. Usually i open a fight with the Longbow / Pet on max distance, then I switch to shortbow, flank the mob with strafing and finish it. Flanking with shortbow is pretty badass.
Well, thats PvE. PvP is another story.

I suck at kiting, too :) For me, I use a direction key like "A" for left AND a strafe key like "Q" to keep you running in a circle. You just have to be careful where you are kiting so you don't run into more mobs. This part is what gets me. I generally run into more mobs by accident :) It also works best in open areas, not in canyon-like pathways or a forest with trees everywhere.
I have found for my ranger, my pet (a wolf) does pretty good at keeping the attacks on him. It is usually when he dies or I do a multiple target attack that I become the target.

The key in GW2 is indeed positioning, especially if it gets crowdy during DEs. If you are standing still and a horde of centaurs catches you from the back, you are in serious trouble. If i die in GW2 its mostly due to wrong positioning.

I certaintly agree that positioning is key.
As for kiting - a Longbow/Shortbow combo can make for fantastic kiting ablity. The longbow allows you to open at great range, speed up your pet, get in a Rapid Fire, and then use Point Blank Shot to send the mob flying away. Then switch to your shortbow where the kiting really begins.
Quick Shot allows you to create space between you and the mob. Combine that with your dodges and general circle strafing, and you are in business. Add to that Crippling shot, which will slow the mob and give you time to seperate further should they close in.
Also, don't forget that a well timed dodge -> Concussive Shot will cause the added effect of a 1 second stun - yet again allowing you to create distance.
You can see what I am getting at here - the short bow is a kiting machine, plain and simple.

"This isn't good or bad. It's just the way of things. Nothing stays the same."
It really depends on your weapon set combo.
I prefer Longbow and Axe/Warhorn.
I keep Call of the Wild on cooldown which offers nice buffs (including swiftness), have a snare from axe and a knockback from my bow. I also slot spike trap which helps alot.
There are utility skills and traits you can pick to help you out if your uncomfortable kiting. Its pretty easy to circle strafe them though.
You could always use a greatword or sword/torch for your second weapon as well and switch to melee when the mobs get in range instead of kiting.
Make sure your using a bears and taking advantage of the pet swapping if your trying to maximize your pet "tanking"
OK, thanks for all the help guys! Looks like I need to practice kiting.

Works well, and it is a form of kiting I used to do in EQ1 with my necromancer to keep the heat off my pet.
@OP: Kiting won't help in pvp if that question ever comes up in your mind. Ranger after ranger tries to kite my warrior when he has his melee weapons out, and I roll through them like they're smoking candy out of a tube sock.

I have no issues with any melee. The only profession that gives me a run for my money with a melee weapon set is double dagger thiefs.

If lovin games is wrong, I don't wanna be right
Use Flame Trap- At low levels flame trap is a must! Set trap and attack enemy. Pet will go out and start attacking. Stand behind trap and call pet back to you. As soon as the mob hits the trap, send the pet back out and pew pew mob till dead. Use your knockbacks as needed (#4 skill on Longbow). Try to have your pet attack the mob on the trap. Run up and reset trap if needed. AoE (#5 skill on Longbow) for multimob. After you reach level 7 and can always weapon switch after you blow through your Longbow skills. I've enjoyed Greatsword for this function.
TLDR version: Use traps often > pew pew at range > weapon switch and run in to finish of mobs > replant traps > switch back to long bow if needed to keep distance.
HEAL - just because you don't need a heal doesn't mean your pet doesn't. Don't skimp on tossing out your heal that heals you and your pet. With bear I start healing him as soon as 1/3 of his health is down. Keeping him alive keeps me alive in PvE.
Have 2 different pets for different roles- Bear is great for absorbing damage but I really like the Birds for quicker damage. They die faster but do more damage than bear. If you are in a big group killing mobs, a pet tank takes too long getting to mobs. Birds, cats, dogs are quicker. (birds can fly up to attack enemies on walls in W v W, other pets can't)
I'm no expert on Ranger but these things work very well for me!
I tinkered a bit with 2 pets, too.
2 bears is obviously a solid tactics, if you prefer tanking pets. Even if you heal your pet correctly, in some situations my bear will die and so i switch on the 2nd one, shortly before the pet dies. Btw, i often prefer healing over switching, because switching means loosing aggo. Not a biggie, but sometimes not welcome. I am wondering if the 3rd beastmaster-trait (15), which reduces the cooldown on switching pets, will really help me so much. From my experience so far (Lvl 33 PvE), a bear lasts long enough, so i have usually no problem with the switching cooldown.
As i already posted, i prefer the polar bear, due to his great foe-chilling F2-skill. The brown bears as the black bears F2 skill does not really convince me. So I tinkered a bit with dogs and wolves as 2nd pet, which have an immobilize as F2 skill. Thats also a great skill. I prefer F2 skills which debuff and/or have a CC-function. However the canines and wolves are a bit less healthy than the bears, which makes a difference in many situations.
Dear Arenanet,
please extend the Pet Management UI (K), and let us choose there once, which of the 4 skills should be the F2-skill of the pet.
and please, reduce the animation time of this F2-skill dramatically. Let it work instantly and start the animation afterwards or whatever you can do. But it has to be more reliable
I also see the advantages of other pets, e.g.
A range pet like devourer or spider makes a lot of sense during zergfests. It is much easier to keep that alive with all these AoEs around a bossmob. However, if you are attacked suddenly by some spawned adds, you are happy having a bear in passive mode standing at your side, ready to attack. Best tactics imho is, to use a tank/tank combo for soloing and a tank/range combo for zergs. But i am too lazy to change pets ooc always, so i mostly run with tank/tank.
A real DPS-pet also makes a lot of sense in a heavy DPS-build burning down the mobs fast. Again, you have to live with the fact, that they smelt like ice in the sun if things go wrong.
Well, this is in PvE, and from the perspective of a ranger staying at range always. I use Longbow/Shortbow, even if there are other solid range weapon-combos. Close-range rangers, might prefer other pets. But this thread is about the kiting ranger.

I play a ranger, close to 40 now, and it's easy as hell. When fighting normal mobs your level, you can take 3 or 4 without ever dodging. Axes are your ranged AoE option, bows your ranged single target. Just a little strafing left and right and you're fine. I usually have the fern hound as pet, as it does decent damage and has a player controlled area heal. Moa or bear as backup pet, but hardly need to swap unless i'm solo against champions or have 5+ mobs at once on the pet. I never use utility for crowd control, it's not needed.
Well, I do no PvP or crafting yet. I have planned to do that later. Aside from my 8 slot leather bags, which came in handy. So, even if i am exploring and gathering a lot and repeating some DEs to get enough tokens for my green armor and weapons, I am very often 1-2 levels behind. Now fights become a bit more interesting. And this influences my pet choice. I like it this way. Challenge is key for me. On equal level GW2 feels a bit too casual. But thats just me.

Oddly, having never been able to kite in WoW I'm really good at it in GW2. I strafe alot and when the mob gets too close i dodge. The lizards and bears and cats i find hold the enemies attention the most. Choose the weapon to your playstyle as well. I use axes more AOE.

im no expert, but playing a dual pistol thief a lot of the time, what works is actually circle strafing.
Hold down strafe right or left, and double tap it when you want to dodge. just practice being able to hit 1-5 while doing this.
then you can remap your utility keys to z,x,c,v,b .. as its all but impossible to reach 6-0 while kiting as you will need to be constantly turning the camera.
for wvw what works is strafe kiting, which is zig zagging backwards/diagonal. But always be prepared to just turn and run
for spvp .. its often a comination of both.
but circle strafing really isnt all that effective in wvw, or in spvp fights where it's actually 4v4 or something.
LFD tools are great for cramming people into content, but quality > quantity.

Another option is, mapping Q and E with some mouse-keys, if you have such a mouse. The thumb keys at the side are working great for strafing. Also the left and right mouse wheel buttons. I dunno, if the remap works just with the internal GW2 key-mapping. I use a programmable G700 mouse, so everything works.
This way your right hand is fully free for skillbuttons and others. But this is just me.

This game is very heavy on strafing and kiting. If you don't prefer such playstyle, your profession options are very narrow (guardian and perhaps warrior).

RED JACKET – Last year's head coach of the West Virginia all-stars in the annual Hatfield & McCoy Senior All-Star game, Joey Fields, will return to try to get another win for the Mountain State.
"I am super excited about having the opportunity to coach in the game once again," Fields said. "The Senior Bowl is a great way to kick-off the upcoming football season."
"But for me as a coach, what I enjoy the most is the relationships you build with the players and coaches," Fields added. "Coach (Yogi) Kinder has continued to do a great job over the years with the game. We had a great group of guys last year. I expect the same with this group - Hady Ford, Josh Sammons and Chase Moore will be my assistants. They did a great job for me last year."
Fields is also assisting Kinder with the Mingo Central Miners.
The game was moved to Harless Stadium last season for the first time. It had previously been played at Matewan High School.
Fields said he will get his players from Mingo, Wayne, Logan, Wyoming and McDowell Counties.
The Kentucky squad, which will be coached by former UK star David Jones, will get their roster from eastern Kentucky counties including Pike, Martin, Floyd and Johnson.
Several players from local schools such as Belfry, Mingo Central, Phelps, Pike Central, Tug Valley and Sheldon Clark are expected to play this summer.
West Virginia rolled over the Kentucky squad 37-12, as Logan graduate Joe Street rushed for four touchdowns and was named the Mountain State's offensive MVP in last year's game.
Kentucky coach David Jones, who coached in the game back in 2011, says he hopes to turn the table on the West Virginia all-stars this summer. Jone's team won that season and he plans to have a more competitive Bluegrass squad come August 3.
The 18th annual all-star game will played on Saturday, August 3 at 8 p.m.

GOODY, Ky. – The Belfry Pirates sailed past Knott County Central 54-13 in first round Class 3A playoff action Friday night at CAM Stadium.
It was work as usual for Coach Philip Haywood's squad on a cold night at CAM Stadium, using their strong ground game and mixing in an occasional pass to roll up 420 total yards of offense. BHS had 360 on the ground and 60 through the air.
Belfry scored early and often to take a 41-0 lead after one quarter of play.
Justin Johnson, who had sit out the past three games because of a concussion, scored the first three times he touched the football against the Patriots.
Belfry's Cody Bostic took the opening kickoff to the Knott County 33 yard line. Then on the first play from scrimmage Johnson scored from 33 yards out. Trinity Carr kicked the extra point to take a 7-0 lead with 11:39 left in the opening quarter.
Sani Warren intercepted a Patriot pass on their first offensive possession. Belfry took over on the 45 yard line. Two plays later, Johnson raced untouched from 48 yards away, for his second TD. Carr's kick made it 14-0 at the 9:26 mark of the first quarter.
Belfry's tough defense forced Knott County into a 3-and-out. Senior Josh Robinson fielded the punt and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown. Carr booted the extra point to make it 21-0.
The Pirates held the Patriots again and forced another punt. Then with junior quarterback Sani Warren hit Johnson on a screen pass and he went 45 yards for his third TD of the night. Carr kicked the extra point to make it 28-0.
Belfry's stingy defense, led by senior linebacker Madison Ghormley, forced another punt. On the first play from scrimmage sophomore Keaton Taylor hit pay-dirt from 55 yards out with 2:11 left in the first quarter. The extra point was kicked by Keilan Carr to make it 35-0.
On Knott Central's next possession, Austin Hatfield intercepted a Patriot pass. Then it was Davontae Dari, a junior running back, who got into the end zone on a 20-yard TD run. K. Carr's kick was not good, but Belfry led 41-0 after only one quarter of play.
Belfry got the football back again and this time Zack Thompson, a junior tailback, scored on a 6-yard rush. K. Carr's kick made it 48-0.
The Pirates went into the dressing room at the half with a huge lead and head coach Philip Haywood and his staff had already played several reserves in the second quarter.
With Belfry's junior varsity playing the rest of the way, Knott County still struggled to move the football. However, with the clock continuing to run, Patriot running back Jaylen Williams scored on a 64-yard run as time ran out in the third quarter. The conversion failed, but the visitors avoided the shutout.
Belfry got one final score as freshman Xondre Willis hit pay-dirt from 12-yards out for his first career varsity touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The kick failed, but Belfry extended the lead to 54-6.
The Patriots got one final score and kicked the extra point with the final seconds ticking off the clock in the final quarter.
Johnson only rushed two times, but had 76 yards. He caught the one pass for 45 yards. He scored each time he had the football.
Williams had 105 yards and at TD for the Patriots.
Belfry will host another playoff game next Friday on Haywood Field. The Lawrence County Bulldogs will be in town to take on the Pirates after they defeated Morgan County Friday night to advance.

If you are anything like me (read: made a Thanksgiving feast large enough to feed 8 lumberjacks when only feeding yourself and your No. 1), you still have LOTS of leftovers to work through. This I expect. But I don't expect my readers to simply *hate* leftovers like I do. Let me be clear: I LOATHE leftovers. It has something to do with my childhood. As such, it is very rare that I ever indulge in the same meal in consecutive sittings, and since I usually portion control pretty well, at most the husbandman (the aforementioned No. 1) gets to indulge his deep affection for leftovers with a single, but generous lunch within a few days of diving into the fresh stuff. But the smallest turkey we could find clocked in at 12 pounds, which I roasted absolutely perfectly (if I do say so myself). Given that we're on a tight budget these days even I couldn't stick my nose up at the abundant albeit cold deliciousness in my fridge, or the prudent economy of said deliciousness. On Friday, I made some sinfully amazing Turkey Day sandwiches (which I regret not blogging about), and Clayton's eaten a few more turkey sandwiches in the last few days. Today I did my bit by assembling a little something something for myself.
Fancified Leftover Thanksgiving Dinner
Leftover stuffing, turkey, cranberry relish, and gravy
feta cheese
1 tsp flour
1 tbs butter
1 cup turkey stock
salad stuff
The other day, I cut some beer cans down to make an elegant stacked crab salad. I hung onto those razor sharp accouterments for future use — like today's. I had an idea about a Thanksgiving themed tian, with a few additions from the larder. But first, I spread some foil over a baking sheet, since unlike my last stack o' dinner, which was served chilled, this stack I meant to bake. Booyah!
Using my killer samurai edge'd cylinder, I cut a 1/2″ round of feta cheese from the block, and about a 3/4″ round of stuffing from the whole. I made a very smooth cornbread stuffing — something more akin to a quiche or pudding than the more chunky varieties I usually prepare. This made it very easy to carve out a perfect disc.
The first layer is the feta cheese. Clayton wasn't sure why I chose this cheese over others, but I quite rightly suspected that its saltiness, and the unique fluffy sort of way it "melted", would be the perfect compliment to this preparation.
The next layer is a few spoonfuls of my homemade cranberry relish, prepared with long, thin strips of orange peel — nice and chunky and tart and bursting and juicy.
Next, I insert my layer of stuffing, and then top the whole tian off with a mixture of dark and light turkey, daubing some of the congealed turkey fat over the top to keep everything moisturized. (Sorry the picture is so out of focus; I was having problems with the light tonight.) I set the whole baking sheet, can in place, into a 350 degree oven to heat through for about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, I make a blond roux by first whisking my butter (melted) and my flour over medium high heat…
… before adding my turkey stock …
… and a few heaping tablespoons of my leftover gravy, which has also congealed. See, I need to thin it out a bit, but just reheating it in the pan might burn it – so making a simple gravy base with the roux and stock before adding this super-potent homemade turkey gravy concentrate works best. It maintains the fantastic flavors I harvested last Wednesday night by cooking down the neck and gizzards with fresh aromatics and butter. There are even delicious bits of turkey neck meat still studding its smooth rich texture.
I bring this to a high heat so it will thicken, then toss a few more bits of shredded turkey into it so they can heat through and soak up all this flavor before I form a steaming standing pool of yum on the plate.
Said steaming pool of yum will envelop my now hot and ready dinner. Admittedly, the feta squished a bit more than I'd hoped, and the cranberries ran, but using some gentle pressure on the turkey to hold everything together, and sliding a flat spatula between the filling and the foil, I remove my savory stack from its baking sheet. I press down on the center of the filling while sliding the can carefully up, essentially extruding my whole turkey dinner into a skyscraper on my plate.
Oh, and I whip together a quick salad as an accompaniment (some iceberg, ranch dressing, slivered onions, and scallions. It's all I had in the house…).
All the flavors of Thanksgiving, vertically presented. My puffed feta cheese nestles a vibrant layer of tart cranberry relish, and a pedestal of savory cornbread stuffing buttresses a steaming stack of unctuous tender pulled turkey, all draped with rich, smooth giblet gravy. It's the same meal I've enjoyed a few times already, but presented in oh such a sumptuous way. And I daresay it tasted even better tonight, constructed as it was with such delicacy and respect. Dropping absolutely no new dimes on this dinner by making it completely from leftovers and simple items from my fridge helped, too. If all leftovers could be this elegant, I might eat them more often…

Active Broadband's OSS now covers DSL networks
Active Broadband Networks has extended the capabilities of its operational support systems (OSSs), originally aimed at the cable industry, to also support DSL networks.
The company's Dynamic Broadband Service Manager (DBSM) is now supporting DSL networks by virtue of adding support for Radius-based data collection and policy control, the company said.
The DBSM combines usage data collection, mediation and big data storage with policy-based service management in an integrated, modular platform. With Radius support, DSL network operators will be able to measure, manage and monetize rapidly increasing broadband consumption.
"DSL vectoring and pair bonding for residential subscribers are accelerating DSL connections to speeds that rival DOCSIS networks, and as a result, DSL networks are facing the same increasing usage pressures," said Adam Dunstan, president and CEO of Active Broadband Networks.
The DBSM's Active Resource Manager software integrates data collection, mediation and storage with dynamic policy control, using Radius accounting messages to collect usage data streamed from the network and Radius Change of Authorization (CoA) messages to apply service management policies to DSL service gateways.
DSL operators can now effectively measure usage for service and capacity planning, implement usage-based service and traffic management policies, and monetize transaction-oriented and user-managed services leveraging dynamic service activation and control, Active Broadband said.

Weeks after city of Hanahan officials made public comments at the Berkeley County School District school board meeting, the districts superintendent took the lectern to provide insight into the search for a suitable location for a proposed elementary school in the Tanner Plantation area.
During Tuesdays regular board meeting, Rodney Thompson said the search for a viable location has been difficult. Most of the options have been dismissed due to wetland permitting, size and access. He said the district still plans on opening the school in fall 2015, on schedule, and that the school could be built in less than 14 months.
I feel confident that we will find a piece of property that will work, Thompson said.
Thompson said the district is in negotiations now for a site, but if it falls through he said there are some temporary, stopgap measures to help crowding in Hanahan Elementary, Goose Creek Primary, and Sedgefield Intermediate. Those measures would include building new wings.
Its not a desired option but we have it on the backburner, Thompson said.
Zoning with the city of Hanahan caused the rift between the two public agencies when the district apparently did not follow through with for rezoning of a tract known as the Bowen site and the request was denied. Thompson said further property considerations would require zoning to be the sellers responsibility.

KERNERSVILLE - Starmount's first-year head coach Rocky Horton got a late Christmas present Friday afternoon.
The Rams knocked off 4A Parkland 68-62 in the 7th-place game of the Frank Spencer Holiday Classic Friday to give Horton his first career win as skipper. Starmount also found the win column for the first time this season, emphatically ending an 0-8 start to the year.
"Good to get the monkey off our back. Our guys played hard for four quarters and played the smartest they've played all year. And it turns out we scored the most points we've scored all year," Horton explained. "Early on we had guys hit some big shots against their zone. Hit some three-pointers and then down the stretch, guys knocked down free throws.
"I'm proud of all 10 guys who were here. We're just glad to see the fruits of their labor in practice," he added.
Starmount came out slow, falling behind 8-0 in the opening three minutes of the game before finding its stroke.
The Rams then caught fire from behind the arc, knocking down 5-of-7 three-point attempts - including four by Gunner Cass. After a trey by Isaiah Billips, Cass sank back-to-back trifectas from the left corner to give Starmount its first lead of the game at 17-16.
In the second, the Rams used more of an inside game, scoring on four straight drives to the basket to open the quarter.
"We knew they were going to play a lot of zone and we knew we wanted to go inside-out," Horton explained. "Our post players did a better job today of handling the ball and passing out of it and our guards hit shots. That's huge for us because we haven't been doing much of that this year."
Starmount led by as much as seven in the first half after Josh Houser hit a contested layup to give the Rams a 32-25 lead with 2:55 left. But the Mustangs stormed back and hit a three in the final seconds to take a 40-38 lead into the locker room.
To open the third, Luke Shore connected on back-to-back treys to give put Starmount ahead for good at 48-45. The Rams answered every Parkland run and sank crucial free throws down the stretch.
Starmount hit 8-of-11 shots from the charity stripe in the final 3:23 to seal its first victory of the season, 68-62.
"It's a huge confidence builder," Horton said. "Losing our first eight games wasn't fun. We told them that it's not fun to lose and to remember the past two losses we've had. We wanted them to start out with energy from the get-go and have some anger about them and sustain that for four quarters.
"Playing with a lead today was something new for us and I thought they handled it well, especially when they were forced to foul us. And we hit our free throws," he added.
Cass powered Starmount offensively, scoring a game-high 20 points on the afternoon, while Houser added nine points in the paint. Shore and Nathan Williams recorded seven points apiece as nine Rams scored in the game.
"Gunner had knee surgery at the beginning of the year and then has been battling some sickness, we've been waiting for him to get his legs back," Horton explained. "He's a good pure shooter and we want him to be looking for his shot. Being a junior, we're looking for him to be a leader. He did a good job of leading by example today."
After picking up the first win of the season, Horton said he's ready for his team to build on the huge victory.
"We'll build on this," he said. "It was good to get the first one, and now that we got it, we know what it feels like to win now. I'm just proud of all of our guys who worked hard to get to this point.
"We'll carry this over into the new year, starting fresh and starting with a tally in the win column. And get ready for Forbush," he added.
Starmount (1-8, 0-4 in the Mountain Valley Conference) return to action Friday against Yadkin County rival Forbush in East Bend.

Detailed Description:
Test product, dose, mode of administration, batch No.: The lowest dose level will be evaluated as a single dose of 25 U/kg. The three upper dose levels will be evaluated as repeated doses. Patients in each cohort will receive one dose of enzyme every other week for a period of eight weeks, a total of five doses. Dosing will be performed as follows: Cohort 1: 25 U/kg as a single dose - hereafter 50 U/kg; Cohort 2: 100 U/kg; Cohort 3: 200 U/kg. Patients receiving the lowest dose as a single dose will receive the next dose level as a repeated dose. After twenty six weeks the subjects will continue treatment every other week until safety data is available. Safety (AE/SAE) will be monitored at every visit during this period. The dose will be adjusted monthly to account for changes in body weight. The infusion length will be dependent on the dose. Doses of 25 U/kg, 50 U/kg and 100 U/kg will be diluted in 50 ml isotonic sodium chloride and infused over 30 minutes. Infusion of 200 U/kg will be administered in the same manner except for an infusion time of 60 minutes.

I really appreciate the article [Nick Schou's "Dude, Where's My Pot?,†May 17]. I think it's a damn shame that just because you have a badge, you can do whatever you want regardless of the outcome that will affect the sick patients that need the medical marijuana to help them cope with the pain. The pot that is being taken by the cops is no doubt in my mind being smoked by them! Just last week on the news there was a story about a cop who had taken pot from someone growing it, and the cop took the pot home and his wife made brownies with it! Where is the justice in this country when cops who are supposed to be up holding the law can get away with doing this and the DA's enforcing these rules? He along with the sheriff should be voted out of office!

I currently subscribe to The Orange County Register. For the past week, I have been receiving the [Register's] OC Post also free of charge. Thank you, but I do not want the OC Post, so please stop delivering it. A few months ago, we were away on vacation and had canceled the OC Register. When we got home, we had numerous copies of the OC Post, although we didn't order it, on our driveway. This allows people to know we are out of town and makes our home a target for break-in. I called the OC Post's offices and explained my concerns and told them do not send the paper. It stopped for a while, but now it's back. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME ANY MORE EDITIONS OF THE OC POST.

After reading of the Minuteman Project's latest violence against immigrants, their families and supporters, I remembered Luke Y. Thompson's vaguely critical article "Fight Club†[April 5], and I wanted to point out why it is important to stand up to and speak out against racism in general, but specifically hate groups like the Minuteman Project. It is a mistake for the media or anyone else to characterize the Minutemen and their cause as harmless.

Power service was interrupted for 885 AEP customers in Scioto County on Wednesday.
"We have a broken insulator that caused a line to lock out," said Vikki Michalski, spokesperson for AEP.
According to Michalski, the insulator failed at 1:30 p.m., disrupting service for 885 AEP customers. That's 2.5 percent of the total 36,209 AEP customers in Scioto County. She said they believed it would all be restored by 3 p.m.
It's unknown if the outages were caused by a violent weather system that swept across the United States on Wednesday. The storm system is responsible for thousands of outages across the southern and Midwest U.S., and at least one death in Nashville, Tenn.
"We had some weather go through the area this morning and it could be related to that. We won't know exactly until … well, we may never know exactly why the insulator broke," Michalski said.

Interesting things
- After making some changes to our RSpec suite (namely moving to fixture scenarios), we realized almost a 50% improvement on our local dev boxes (generally iMacs with 4G of ram). However the CI box (a Mac Mini) remained at about the same duration. Increasing the InnoDB MySQL settings to the following caused a significant performance boost on our CI box (about 200 seconds down from 350 seconds):
[mysqld] innodb_buffer_pool_size = 64M innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M table_cache = 512 query_cache_size = 8M
The theory is that our local dev boxes have so much ram that the disk reads are cached while the CI box is swapping out to disk often.
- Fixtures in RSpec can be slow due to nested describe blocks. Each time a new describe block is opened, the fixtures have to load. Therefore, if your test suite has many nested describe blocks with only a few tests in each describe, this will cause lots of fixture loading.
One possible solution is to use the underlying database (e.g.. MySQL SAVEPOINT and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT) to save and reload the fixtures. Another possibility is to group your tests in a less-nested fashion.

TWO BUCK YUKS : Thanks givenWritten by Keith Bergman | | email@example.com
I am grateful for the art of self-expression. The opportunity to take thoughts from my head, put them out into the world, and sometimes get a positive reaction to them is a trick that will never lose its novelty for me. I enjoy it immensely and I'm glad I get to do it.
I am grateful for funny people I can call friends, whom I've met through comedy. My friend Brad Wenzel recently won the Cleveland Comedy Festival's competition, and got to take a picture while holding a giant check for $2,000. He also got hand-picked by Ricky Gervais not that long ago as a finalist for a spot on Conan O'Brien's show. Seeing someone half my age and 10 times funnier than me getting the recognition he deserves makes me feel like there is a process and that sometimes it works like it should. It's a great motivator.
I am grateful for people like Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller and Bill Kline at the Blarney for taking a chance on comedy, and giving a forum (on stage and in the media) to talk about this sometimes maligned art form. I'm grateful for all the stages, be they in bona fide comedy clubs around the Midwest or in VFW halls and dive bars in small towns on two-lane highways. I don't know yet if these small venues will be a stepping stone for me, or the place I will end up spending my productive years in comedy, but I'm happy for the lights, the mic and the time.
I am grateful for a family that backs me even when they don't fully understand the point of the endeavor. I literally would not be alive without my wife, my kids, my dad, my sister and my in-laws, and my extended family both blood-bound and otherwise. They form more of a support system than this wayward, frequently-wrong wanderer deserves.
I am grateful for my band mates and all the rock 'n' roll casualties I spent so many years with in those trenches, and for the actors I met doing community theater. There are so many different ways to find the joy in a creative life well lived, and it's been a privilege to do these things alongside people who are so determined and passionate about molding the world and making it more colorful and entertaining.
I'm going to work my day job on Thanksgiving, then have dinner with my family. I'll be on the road the whole weekend, in a car with my friends, touring the Midwest telling dirty jokes and dumb stories, sleeping on couches and eating diner food and laughing like hell. It's a privilege beyond compare to be who I am, when I am, doing what I do, and I appreciate it as much as I possibly know how.
Thanks, everybody.
Keith Bergman is the host of the Two Buck Yuks comedy showcase at The Blarney Event Center, 601 Monroe St., every Wednesday at 8 p.m. Owen Thomas headlines the show Nov. 27, while Mike Bobbitt tops the bill Dec. 4.

Quality healthcare starts with your information. Whether it's from referring physicians, from another practice, the file room down the hall, or any of a host of different digital files, your ability to grasp that information — clinical, financial, administrative — drives your healthcare.
When so many different sources are involved, though, it can be hard to pull all the data together and operate efficiently. Ricoh's healthcare solutions work with you to break those walls down and make the critical information you need accessible wherever you need it, whenever you need it. This is information mobility, and it can make your job easier.
Digitize and free your information
You deal with a lot of documents, which unfortunately, can be:
- Slow to move between offices, departments, and people.
- Easily lost, stolen, or damaged.
- Difficult to locate when you need them.
And when your documents are lost, so too is the information locked within them. We'll provide the tools you need to digitize your documents, store them in a central digital repository, and thoroughly index them. That means your vital information will no longer be fragmented. With tools like our Patient Chart Scanning, a new, more complete picture of your information will be available when and where you need it, ready to move at the speed of healthcare.
Accelerate your workflow and improve document access
With your information finally indexed, you'll be able to share data from any location or source anywhere. With Ricoh's HIM Workflow Manager Solution at the helm, you can leverage your improved access into faster, easier clinical data processes. Your collaboration among departments, clinicians and outside stakeholders will be easier than ever before.
Streamlined processes mean lower costs and higher quality of care
Fast-moving, easily accessible, data is only the beginning. With Ricoh's Healthcare Rapid Process Assessment, we can work with you on your processes around documents — input, output, access, and review.
When that's streamlined, your return on investment can extend beyond the savings on paper and print material reduction to improved patient satisfaction and a healthy organization.
Better address regulatory requirements, patient data security
We can help you not only identify and eliminate inefficiencies, but also address patient data security and privacy regulations.
- Our Patient ID Solution for Healthcare is designed around a suite of innovative laser printers and software that offers security and superior functionality.
- Our Security Solutions for Ambulatory help safeguard the multifunction printers (MFPs) that process your patient information.
- Our Secure Plain Paper Rx Solution for Healthcare ups the efficiency and budget gains by letting you use plain paper and virtually any printer to deliver accurate, tamper resistant prescription documents.

Try the Chipotle Chile Dark Chocolate If you think this is a strange combination, think again.

LAUREL HILL — Sixth grader Maddie Varnum turned in an impressive performance in the pitching circle for Laurel Hill School softball team on Tuesday against District 1-1A rival Paxton.
Varnum made her first varsity start one that she will remember for years to come as she struck out five Bobcat batters and gave up just four hits and two earned runs as the Hoboes picked up their first win of the season with a 7-4 victory.
In a season marred by injuries Hobo coach Scott Varnum, Maddie's father, was just happy to see his team come out on top.
"As many injuries as we have had our girls could have been like an ostrich and stuck their heads in the dirt but they have played through it and behind us," he said. We've made some changes and brought some JV kids up and we are just trying to get in their mindset we are playing for the last one.
"We have won two district championships in a row and we are rebuilding. We lost Kasey Harrison and we lost Lauren Poole last year and we are just trying to find our way so to speak. I'm just proud of the kids that they stayed behind each other."
The Hoboes (1-5, 1-4) drew first blood scoring three runs in the first and one more in the fourth.
Lead off batter Lauren Gordon was in the middle of the quick start as she reached on an error and later scored on a Bobcat error.
Ashley Hatfield, who reached on a bunt single and Morgan Meeks, who was on base on a fielder's choice, both scored on a Brianna Owens base hit.
Gordon walked and scored on a base hit by Meeks in the second inning as the Hoboes stretched the lead to 4-0.
The Bobcats finally got on the scoreboard in the third inning scoring two unearned runs to cut the Laurel Hill lead in half with the score 4-2.
The Hoboes scored three more in the fourth inning as Gordon, Hatfield and Meeks were at it again.
Gordon reached on an infield hit to start things off. A triple by Hatfield scored Gordon and Hatfield scored on a double by Meeks.
Meeks scored on a Sam Purvines base hit to push the lead to 7-2.
That's what the score was when the Bobcats came to bat in the top of the seventh.
True to the Hobo-Bobcat rivalry Paxton mounted one last attack against Laurel Hill.
Payton Daugherty and Genesis Long scored for the Bobcats on a Sidney Beck double to cut the Hobo lead to 7-4, but it wasn't enough as Laurel Hill held on for the win.
"We just want to build on this and enjoy the win," Scott Varnum said. "Any time we can beat that team from across the road (Paxton) it's a big win."

Undergraduate Business Majors
To understand where the financial industry is going, professionals must be well versed in technology, which continues to revolutionize the field. That's why a Stevens finance major is so valuable — in addition to traditional courses in economics and corporate finance, students get hands-on with the technology that's guiding investment and risk strategy. Students seeking certification as financial analysts, planners or risk managers will benefit from a curriculum that prepares students to obtain these designations. Courses make generous use of the state-of-the-art Hanlon Financial Systems Lab, with access to the tools most familiar to traders across the river, and those Wall Street firms — such as Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Chase — come to campus to hire our students as interns and employees.
Technology has opened a window into consumer behavior and purchasing trends that represents unmatched potential for companies — but only if they understand how to interpret the data to craft the kind of message that will resonate with customers. The Stevens marketing major puts the most advanced technological tools to use in the classroom, giving students the social network and new media training that's at the heart of modern corporate marketing strategies.
Managers who can operate across a spectrum of disciplines are of increasing value in a workplace that's constantly being moved and shaped by technology. That's what makes the Stevens management major so distinct. The focus here is on flexibility: Students tailor their course requirements to their professional interests, getting exposure in entrepreneurship, strategic management, organizational behavior, operations management, corporate social responsibility and leadership.
It's rare to learn the kind of quantitative financial analysis that keeps Wall Street humming at the undergraduate level. Stevens pioneered the idea in 2009 by creating an undergraduate major in QF to prepare students for careers at hedge funds, exchanges or their own businesses in finance. Students are taught to apply scientific methods and techniques to transform financial markets through a curriculum that leans heavily on input from New York City financial firms and our state-of-the-art Hanlon Financial Systems Lab.
Information systems is one of the hottest areas in the job market right now, with employers struggling to find job candidates who understand analytics and can use technology to augment innovation. Those in this major graduate prepared to develop and commercialize technological innovations, owing to Stevens' rigorous business core and the expertise in technology management students cultivate in the classroom. Students will graduate ready to work as software engineers, data architects, systems analysts and data scientists, and also are qualified to create and develop their own startup companies.
Flexibility is at the heart of this major, the largest business major offered at Stevens. Students combine a rigorous business curriculum with technology coursework in engineering or another specialty outside the School of Business to create a concentration area tailored to their career aspirations.
A thorough understanding of how technology influences the study of economics prepares students in this major for careers in business, finance, banking, consulting, policy analysis, public administration and the law. This program focuses intensely on developing quantitative and analytic skills, giving students specialized training that's applicable even in industries that are somewhat removed from economics, such as engineering and medicine. Classes emphasize international trade, global financial systems, labor markets and economic development.

Side Cut Out Mini Dress
Style # 220156
Conceal and reveal. Ultra sexy cutout mini dress features peek-a-boo sides and a textured ribbed material. Zip-up sweetheart neckline makes for the best New Years Dress! Just add our Chain & Leaf Necklace for some sparkles.
- 56% Polyester, 36% cotton, 8% spandex
- Hand wash
- Made in USA
- Model is 5'10" and wears a US size S
Rated 3.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Kristal Beautiful, but can climb up the wearer's legs. The dress fit quite well when I tried it on, and it was fairly easy to move in. the zipper is more obvious in some colors of the dress over others (usually just a small part). The lower hem of the back of the dress can slide up, so the wearer may have to pull it down periodically February 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Loves2Shop snug Thought the dress runs a little on the snug side (from the waist up). If it is too snug, the "hidden zipper" will show which was not the intention of the dress. I love Bebe dresses, but I would say this wasn't one of them. November 27, 2013

A run for Congress seems more likely for former Gov. Mark Sanford, who visited a spot for a potential campaign headquarters in downtown Charleston Thursday where he said his fiancee and sons would support a bid.
Positive, on both sides, Sanford said in the parking lot of the former Tellis Pharmacy on King Street, near Broad Street.
Should he launch a congressional campaign, Sanford said he hoped state voters would look past the infidelity that clouded his time as governor that ended with his second term in 2010.
Thats obviously the verdict of what an election like this would be about, he said.
A decision on officially committing to a GOP primary run is probably still a few days away, he said.
The filing period for the open 1st Congressional District seat, which Sanford held before becoming governor, officially opens Jan. 18. The field is expected to be large to fill the vacancy created when former U.S. Rep Tim Scott was elevated to U.S. senator by Gov. Nikki Haley in the wake of Jim DeMints resignation.
Sanford, who lives in the Dockside condominiums on Charleston Harbor, visited Tellis, a Charleston landmark that closed last summer after 60 years in business.
Co-owner Alice Tellis Critikos said Sanford was looking to be in the space for a few months, but that she would be willing to let him lease the site for as long as he wanted.
A potential Sanford bid would come after his aspirations of higher office appeared to have been derailed by his 2009 affair with an Argentine woman, Maria Chapur. The pair is now engaged.
Sanford, 52, is the father of four sons from his first marriage to former first lady Jenny Sanford.
The 1st District includes most of the Charleston area and stretches south along the coast.
Sanford said if he does run, he would return to his themes of curbing debt and spending in Washington.

JJM Golf Outing to Benefit Jonathan Musialowski
- Release Date:
- August 23, 2012
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Appearing in photo Jimmy Pernick and Andy Dvornski
The third annual Jonathan "Jay" Musialowski Golf Benefit Scramble Tournament took place over the weekend in Darien, NY with several Hilbert College friends participating in the shot-gun tournament. All proceeds raised will benefit the JJM Fund which was established to assist in the long-term care for Hilbert's former baseball coach.
The Hilbert foursome, who shot a very impressive 9 under and finished in 3rd place, were Jimmy Pernick (a former baseball player of coach Musialowski at Hilbert) Susan Viscomi (Director of Athletics), Andy Dvornski (golf coach) and Rob Peterson (women's basketball coach). Cynthia Zane and Stephen Mazurak were generous sponsors.
Musialowski was injured in late February 2010 when the car he was driving hit a patch of black ice and spun into on-coming traffic. The Buffalo resident was struck at full speed from behind and suffered a broken left arm and extensive brain trauma. He spent several long months in the intensive care unit at Erie County Medical Center before he was permitted to leave. Musialowski's health continues to improve but he will require continual assistance with daily activities.
Anyone wishing to contribute to the JJM Fund may contact Jonathan's dad, Chet Musialowski, at 716-949-1684.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

I don't blame you if your first reaction after reading the headline is to say, "Only 2?" There are probably dozens of significant leadership lessons to be drawn from the JPMorgan Chase debacle. But it's unlikely I will live long enough to write such a comprehensive piece – so we'll go for the Big 2:
Lousy Risk Assessment Doesn't Work
After other banks were staggered by what happened in 2008 (technically, the recession started in December 2007, but what's a month between friends and economists?), JPMorgan Chase JPMorgan Chase looked like the model of a well run bank, and Jamie Dimon got a lot of the credit for that. Here was a bank that knew how to manage risk. Well . . . not so fast . . .
Turns out that the risk assessors didn't ask "What if . . . ?" in enough different ways to appreciate all the possible risks. Or, maybe they did, and leadership failed to hear a realistic assessment of risk. (One of the corollaries of Murphy's Law in business is: The more profits you make, the less likely you are to hear bad things.)
Somewhere in the risk management chain – at the risk assessment level or the leadership level – someone blew it. It's easy to shrug and say everyone makes mistakes. In fact, Jamie Dimon has said that even talented people make huge blunders. But good risk management is about stopping mistakes before the errors run up billion-dollar tallies.
Effective risk management keeps losses to a minimum or eliminates them. It's impossible to argue that JPMorgan Chase had a good program when the losses are $2 billion and climbing. (Plenty of people have pointed out that even if the losses total $5 billion, they won't threaten JP
Refusing to Learn from Mistakes is Stupid
Dimon & Co. have refused to learn from mistakes – both theirs and others' – time and again. When the recession first hit, they didn't reassess what they were doing in light of the failures of others, particularly AIG. (AIG was messing with a different investment, but allowed a small group and big profits to drive its handling of gigantic risk.)
After the collapse, Jamie Dimon led the way in lobbying against new regulations. In the banking gospel according to Dimon, bankers had learned their lessons the hard way and there was no need for excessive regulation. He championed a watered-down version of the Volcker Rule, which would limit banks portfolio hedging pretty severely – and probably would have saved JPMorgan from its current losses. You might wonder if, in the wake of those losses, Mr. Dimon has changed his tune about the Volcker Rule. Nope. (Talk about not learning from mistakes . . . )
Finally, Dimon seems to have learned the wrong lesson from the current, multi-billion dollar mistake:
"In future," Dimon says, "We're going to manage [the bank] to maximize the economic value for shareholders." That quote is from Steve Denning's Forbes Blog:
As Denning points out: "Unfortunately this pervasive, and seemingly plausible, idea that a firm like JPMorgan should be focused on maximizing shareholder value is misguided. It ignores Peter Drucker's foundational insight of 1973 that the only valid purpose of a firm is to create a customer. Paradoxically, focusing on maximizing shareholder value ends up making less money for shareholders, because it leads firms to do things, like the recent JPMorgan gambles that actually destroy shareholder value."
So, the Big 2 lessons from the JPMorgan Chase fiasco? Manage risk. Really. And learn from your mistakes. Really.
