ABOUT THE AGGIES: The Aggies are hoping for a successful repeat of last year with 35 wins and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
coach Rocky Ward is looking for new leadership after losing key players from last season's team. The Aggies have to replace right-hand pitcher Scott Coffman, school record holder for saves in a season and career, along with shortstop Zach Voight. Ward believes that athletic-wise and physically, the team has not lost anything from last season's team.
Ward hopes that returning shortstop Parker Hipp and outfielder Kyle Phillips will lead the team in 2013 along with pitcher Adam Mott and Las Cruces native Michael Ormseth. NM State also has strong and developing newcomers in freshman Kent Blackstone, who is predicted to start at second base, while junior transfer Quinnton Mack looks to be a starter in the outfield.
NM State's Adam Mott, Parker Hipp, Tanner Rust and Kyle Phillips made the College Madness WAC Preseason All-Conference team and Hipp has also been named a Louisville Slugger All-American.
THE AGGIE OUTFIELD: After losing two-thirds of their 2012 outfield to graduation, the New Mexico State baseball team now looks to a couple of junior college transfers to fill an outfield unit that was an integral part of last year's Western Athletic Conference (WAC) championship team.
Juniors Quinnton Mack and Michael Medina will join senior Kyle Phillips, the only remaining starting outfielder from last season, to compromise this season's starting outfield for NM State.
Last year's trio of outfielders, Tanner Waite in left field, Bryan Karraker in right field and Phillips in center field, finished the season as one of the highest scoring group of outfielders in the nation. The threesome scored nearly one-third of all the Aggie runs, mostly because of their knack for getting on base. All three had an on-base percentage higher than .420.
Phillips will once again be the Aggies' starting center fielder and will be called upon to be the leader and role model for the outfielders. He can start by showing his new teammates his numbers from last year. Phillips finished the 2012 season with a .311 batting average, a .421 on-base percentage, six home runs and 39 RBIs. On the field he was second on the team with 144 putouts and finished with a .967 fielding percentage.
Replacing Waite in left field this season will be Mack, a Las Vegas, Nev., native who has a rare combination of power and speed and also has baseball pedigree in his family. Mack's father, Quinn, and his uncle, Shane, both played outfield in the major leagues. Shane played alongside Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett in the outfield during the Minnesota Twins World Series team of 1991. Prior to coming to NM State, Mack played two years of baseball at the College of Southern Nevada. In 2012 he was selected as a first-team all-region outfielder after finishing the season with a .330 batting average, 29 stolen bases and nine home runs.
Rounding out this year's starting outfield will be Medina who will take over for Karraker at right field. Medina, a product of Southern California, comes to the Aggies after playing a season of baseball at Compton Community College located in Compton, Calif. He is known for being a great defensive outfielder. While at Compton C.C., Medina was invited to participate in the Cecil Fielder Elite World Series as an outfielder. Not only did his team win the tournament, Medina was also honored individually by receiving a Gold Glove Award for the tournament. It wasn't the first gold glove award on his mantel, however, as Medina had also won a gold glove award after both his junior and senior years in high school.
THIS WEEK'S OPPONENT: The Panthers finished last season 27-27 and 18-11 in Horizon League play. They finished third in the Horizon League last season and were selected to finish second in the Horizon League this season. Milwaukee returns six of their top seven pitchers from 2012. This was a pitching staff that set a program record in 2012 with a 3.73 ERA. Milwaukee will also get back Josh Uren who returns after sitting out the 2012 season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery. Milwaukee also brings Cale Tassi who was voted Preseason Pitcher of the Year by Horizon League coaches. Tassi is joined by outfielder Luke Meeteer in the first-ever Horizon League preseason all-conference team.
Milwaukee is coached by Scott Doffek who is in his seventh year as the head coach of the Panthers. Before becoming the head coach of the Panthers, Doffek was an assistant coach for Milwaukee for 12 years.
SERIES RECORD VERSUS UW-MILWAUKEE: This series will mark the first-ever meeting between the Panthers and the Aggies.
AGGIES IN OPENING GAMES: NM State is 25-25 overall in season opening games. The Aggies are 23-20 when playing a season opener at home and are 9-4 in opening games since 2000. NM State is 10-4 in opening day games under head coach Rocky Ward.
NM STATE PROBABLE STARTING PITCHERS: Adam Mott is expected to take the mound for the opening game on Friday (Feb. 15) against UW-Milwaukee. Mott was a first team All-WAC selection last season and finished with a 6-3 record. He recorded 78 strikeouts and led Aggie pitchers with a .276 opponent's batting average. In Presley Askew Field, Mott was undefeated at 4-0 and had a 3.96 ERA.
Christopher Bradley is expected to start the second game of the double-header against UW-Milwaukee on Friday. Bradley is a newcomer to the Aggies and played at Galvin College in Gilroy, Calif. last season. The coaching staff is happy with Bradley's improvement and development and is excited about what he can bring to the mound for the Aggies.
Michael Ormseth is expected to start the first game on Saturday (Feb. 16) against UW-Milwaukee. Ormseth led the Aggies' pitching staff last season with eight wins in 13 starts for the Aggies. He ended with an 8-2 record in 2012. Ormseth pitched extremely well in Presley Askew Field where he finished with a 6-1 record in nine starts. He also recorded two-thirds of his 62 strikeouts in front of the Aggie crowd.
Game four against UW-Milwaukee will be either Trey Higginbotham or Casey Collins taking the mound for the Aggies.
WAC PRESEASON POLL: New Mexico State baseball was selected to finish third in the 2013 Western Athletic Conference regular season, in the coaches' preseason poll behind Dallas Baptist and Texas State, the WAC announced.
The Aggies received 60 points in the voting that was done by the 10 WAC baseball coaches after a 35-24 season (11-7 WAC), which resulted in the 2012 WAC regular season co-champion title and an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. Dallas Baptist, who joined the WAC this year, was picked to win the league with 80 points and eight first place votes after a 41-19 season. Surpassing the Aggies for the second spot is Texas State who received 65 points and one first place vote.
NATIONAL POLLS: New Mexico State is receiving votes in Collegiate Baseball's preseason top 40. They are also receiving votes in the NCBWA preseason top 35 polls. Future Aggie opponent NC State is ranked in in the top 15 in four polls and is ranked as high as eighth in the Baseball America preseason poll. Oklahoma is also ranked in the top 25 in four preseason polls with their highest ranking at 14 in the Collegiate Baseball preseason poll. New Mexico is ranked in three of four national polls and is ranked as high as 21 in the Baseball America preseason poll.
LOOKING BACK: The New Mexico State Aggies defeated the Alumni Team in the Annual Alumni Game at Presley Askew Field, Saturday, Feb. 9. The Aggies tallied 13 runs on eight hits and committed two errors while the Alumni team marked its six runs in the top of the sixth inning. Starting pitcher and Las Cruces native Michael Ormseth pitched a strong 5.2 innings, striking out seven batters and giving up just one run.
LOOKING AHEAD: The Aggies will hit the road next week and head to East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., where they will take part in the 10th annual Keith LecClaire Classic. The tournament is held from Feb. 22-24 and the Aggies will face East Carolina, Illinois and Ohio. There will be no radio broadcast for the LecClaire Classic but fans can follow along with Live Stats on NMStatesports.com.

Wind development measure passes HouseBy Kirk Carapezza
Vermont Public Radio | April 27,2013
Wind turbines generate power at the Searsburg Wind Power Facility in Searsburg, Vt. Thursday, July 21, 2005. Two ridge lines in the southern Green Mountain National Forest soon could sprout 370-foot tall wind power generators, if the U.S. Forest Service approves what would be the first wind energy project on its lands anywhere in the country. A company called Deerfield Wind LLC has proposed up to 30 of the towers in a special-use application to the Forest Service. The review is expected to take up to 18 months. (AP Photo/Tim Roske)The Vermont House on Friday overwhelmingly passed a bill that was originally proposed as a moratorium on ridgeline wind development in Vermont.
Over the past two months, though, the bill was reduced to a study of how the state approves renewable energy projects.
The House voted 140-3 to approve the Senate bill.
Rep. Tony Klein, D-East Montpelier, chairman of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee, has emerged as a lightning rod for opponents hoping to strike down wind projects. On Friday he rose to passionately acknowledge that the beleaguered bill has taken a circuitous route to the House floor.
A product of the 1960s, he quoted the Grateful Dead.
What a long, strange trip this has been, said Klein, whose committee found that the kind of research called for in the Senate bill would be nearly impossible and too expensive to conduct.
Some of the tasks that were sent to us in the Senate bill was on research that, quite frankly, hasnt been done anywhere yet, Klein told his colleagues, pointing to real estate values that may or may not be affected by energy-generation plants as one example.
To really get some sort of baseline of understanding, youve got to go to a community where a project has been built and remember that weve only had recently two projects built in the last few years and youve got to wait and see what happens to the real estate values there, Klein said.
He emphasized that his committee learned it would take four to six years to get reliable real estate information time, he said, lawmakers cant afford to take in developing energy policies.
There is an energy problem in this country, Klein added. There is an energy problem in this world, and we cant go on, business as usual and not pay attention to it.
Proponents in the House and Senate had hoped the bill would give greater local control to town and regional planning committees in reviewing renewable energy projects.
Rep. Don Turner, R-Milton, the minority leader, said his constituents who live near Georgia Mountain still hope for a more cautious, balanced approach to ridgeline wind development.
This week the wind turbines on the mountain didnt turn at all, Turner reported. We need to understand that.
Turner added, Georgia Mountain, which was this pristine mountain, now has a cut right up through the middle with four big turbines sticking out of it. Some say beautiful, some dont.
Turner and other House lawmakers said they are confident that the bill recognizes some of the flaws in Vermonts renewable energy policies.

A Silver Spring man who admitted to stabbing and killing the mother of his children Saturday was ordered held in jail without bond Monday by a Montgomery County judge.
Hector David Granados, 44, of the 8700 block of Barron Street in Silver Spring, turned himself into police and admitted to killing the victim, 47-year-old Ana Ayala, that same day after an argument outside Ayala's apartment in the 8700 block of Garland Avenue in Silver Spring, according to police charging documents filed in county district court.
Police arrived to the parking lot of the Garland Avenue building at 8:15 a.m. Saturday for reports of a stabbing. A witness waved officers down and led them to his car, where officers found Ayala suffering from multiple stab wounds in the witnesses' front passenger seat, according to the report. Ayala was immediately taken to a local hospital but she was pronounced dead on arrival.
The witness told police that Ayala's husband, who the witness identified as "Hector," had approached the car just as the witness was preparing to drive Ayala to the grocery store. The husband told Ayala to get out of the car and, when she did, he stabbed her several times before running away, the documents state.
Granados turned himself in at the Piney Branch police substation just after 12:30 p.m. where he waived his Miranda rights and confessed to the crime. Granados even accompanied officers back to the scene to show them where he threw the kitchen knife he used to stab Ayala.
According to the documents, Granados told police he was not married to Ayala, but she was the mother of two of his children.
Granados was charged with one count of first-degree murder. No attorney has been assigned to his case as of Tuesday.

LAS VEGAS - The New Mexico State women's tennis team fell 5-2 to the Pacific Tigers on Sunday, Feb. 10 at the Fertitta Tennis Center in Las Vegas, Nev.
In doubles competition, NM State was unable to secure the point as Pacific picked up an 8-1 win at both the No. 1 and No. 3 position, leaving the second court u finished.
"After senior Jodie Williams suffered a sprained ankle in yesterday's match versus Weber State, it made it very difficult to put ourselves in a winning position today," head coach Ivan Fernandez said. "She did her best and tried to stay out on the court as long as possible."
Williams battled through one set at the top singles spot, only to retire before the match was completed. As Denise Van Der Ben went down on the second court, senior Ginet Pinero was able to get the Aggies first point at the third position in two sets. Annemieke Witte also closed out on a point for NM State with a battle on the fourth court. She took Christina Ferrari to a 6-4, 5-7, 1-0 (10-5) win.
"We fought hard but fell 5-2 to Pacific. Ginet won at No. 3 singles and Annemieke won at No. 4 singles. Denise had chances at two and Lisa at five. It was a close match," Fernandez said. "I'm proud of how the girls played today. There are just some things we can't control. This is our third sprained ankle in the last three weeks, so if we can get this team healthy I know we can compete with anyone."
While Ros-Polly Nguyen went down in straight sets (6-2, 6-1), Lisa Roslanova competed to a 6-4 loss in the first set and went down 7-6 (4) in the final set.
The Aggies take a week off before heading to the West Coast for three days of dual competition. NM State faces Cal State Fullerton on Feb. 22, and then continues on a California route against UC Irvine and Cal State Northridge.

PRESTONSBURG — More than 100 people turned out downtown Saturday to participate in a walk aimed at bringing awareness to autism.
Community members turned out in droves last weekend to help celebrate Autism Awareness Month with an event designed to create more awareness about the disorder. Autism rates are at an all-time high now in America, with 1 in 50 children between the ages of 6 and 17 falling into the spectrum.
Saturday's event, was sponsored in part by Mayor Jerry Fannin, the City of Prestonsburg, and Blackcat Archery, and organized by members of the East Kentucky Autism Support Group.

No NFL teams boast prouder defensive traditions than the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Bears, and later this summer McFarlane Toys pays tribute to both teams' legacy of domination with two-packs honoring top defensive players from their present and past. Chicago linebacking legends Dick Butkus and Brian Urlacher team up for Chicago, while Pittsburgh's "Steel Curtain" is held up by "Mean" Joe Greene and James Harrison.
The only way Dick Butkus could be more Chicago is if he got an Air Jordan tattoo. Butkus was born in Chicago, played collegiately for Illinois, and then became the Bears' first-round draft pick in 1965. He played nine seasons in Chicago, earning Pro Bowl berths his first eight years before calling it a career in 1973. Brian Urlacher made the transition from the starting safety at the University of New Mexico to middle linebacker for the Chicago Bears. Few players can successfully transition that sort of "double jump" to a more demanding position in a higher league, but Urlacher made it look easy. He earned Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2000, and then became the Defensive Player of the Year in 2005.
"Mean" Joe Greene arrived in Pittsburgh in 1969 as the team's 1st round draft pick. He joined Andy Russell as one of the few bright spots on a team that went 1-13, but Greene's arrived as the cornerstone to one of the NFL's greatest dynasties. Over the next decade, the Steelers would go 99-44-1 and win four Super Bowls. Today, linebacker James Harrison sets the tone for the Steelers defense much like "Mean" Joe did back in the '70s. The 2008 Defensive Player of the Year does it all – pressuring quarterbacks, chasing down running backs, and breaking wide receivers. Harrison remains the relentless spine of the Steeler defense – the kind of player that makes opponents run sweeps the OTHER direction.
The Bears and Steelers 2-packs are scheduled to arrive in stores early this July. If you run into them while you're out shopping, our best advice is to put them in your cart right away before they tackle you and make you fumble.

Rated 5 out of 5Āby SewerGal Cute and comfy I purchased this top today and I was happy to see it was made from the old fabric that Bebe used to use in all their sports line. It is soft and comfortable, with a built in shelf bra which isn't enough support for me, so I just wear a strapless bra underneath and it works well. I wish Bebe would go back to the old fabric, I don't like the new nylon shiny, thin type fabric they use now. March 27, 2013

When it was recently announced Pixar would be releasing a sequel to "Finding Nemo" called "Finding Dory," I'll admit I was excited, especially because I felt I'd already been spoiled by the upcoming "Monsters University" film. Pixar is one of the few companies that I think does sequels well (aside from "Cars" because no thanks). While Disney hasn't had a perfect track record when it comes to sequels (did we really need "Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2"?), they have also had some incredible successes, especially now that they've acquired Marvel. So here are my picks for top five movie sequels that were so good, they could rival the first film.
I'm starting with the least serious film but truly, it commits the most serious offense. Who forgets their kid at home when going on vacation not once, but twice?! Jeez, Kevin's parents, get it together! This time Kevin is lost in New York rather than with all the luxuries he could ask for in his deluxe mansion, so there's a bigger element of fear. It's an amazing sequel for a few reasons, including the fact that Kevin's traps get more sinister, he ruins his aunt and uncle's NYC apartment, he saves a toy store from being robbed, and he'll have enough fodder in therapy to last him the rest of his life. Plus, he has full access to his parent's credit cards and he befriends a crazy bird lady in the park. I like it. (Also, this re-cut trailer of "Home Alone 2" as a horror film is great.)

The Spectrum of Research and Development at MU
PDF version with project links
Scientific research is one of the top priorities of Masaryk University. In the course of last decades MU has attained a leading position in competitions for research grants, and is developing tools for the transfer of knowledge while improving overall support for research and innovation. The University is also making considerable financial investments in its new university campus to enhance its research and teaching capacity.
Excellence in research activity ranges from natural sciences and medical fields to social sciences and humanities. Obtaining effective research results as well as reaching a level enabling the university to compete in a European research context on a regular basis are both among MU's high-priority areas. A concept supporting team research as well as project research is in full compliance with these areas.
Team research is becoming increasingly effective thanks to the fact that research units based at the Faculties of Science, Medicine and Sports Studies are now all located at the University Campus at Bohunice. Outstanding results achieved by participants of long-term research plans, research centres, and primary research centres alike are a clear indication of the high quality of team research at Masaryk University.
The very fact that virtually all fields of study found at MU including the humanities and social sciences are currently participating in a corresponding large-scale research project is an indication of the stability, high quality and balanced nature of research activities at MU.

Matt Walker tallied his 11th goal of the year for Xavier on Sunday.
Nov. 18, 2012
Box Score | Box Score | Photo Gallery
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Xavier men's soccer season that included a record for most wins came to an end on Sunday after a 4-1 loss to Indiana in the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship Second Round at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
The Musketeers' (14-3-5) lone goal came from junior Matt Walker who tallied his 11th goal of the season in the 33rd minute. Nikita Kotlov scored a hat trick for the Hoosiers (12-5-3) who advance to face top-seeded Notre Dame in the third round on Sunday.
Xavier held even with the seven-time national champion in the first half and had several scoring opportunities including Walker's equalizers in the 33rd minute. His goal came off one of the seven corner kicks the Musketeers had in the first half.
Junior Gino De Paoli's service was cleared to Cohen whose attempt at a shot went to senior Luke Spencer just outside the corner of the six-yard box. Spencer, the A-10 leading scorer, quickly dropped the ball to Walker who ripped a shot to the near post for the score
Despite the outcome Xavier battled head-to-head with the Hoosiers until late when they attempted to come back from a 2-1 deficit.
The Musketeers came close to the score when Will Walker ran underneath a long pass and hit an attempt that went over the crossbar with the goalie coming out of net.
Indiana then added goals from Femi Hollinger-Janzen and Kotlov's third of the match late. Kotlov had scores in the 18th, 68th and 83rd minutes. His first goal hit the far post and snuck into goal before Adar Cohen could clear it off the line. Kotlov's second came on a curling shot from the corner of the penalty box into the upper 90 and his last was a tap in on a counter attack.
Xavier finished the match with seven shots with only one coming after the first half. Indiana fired 11 total shots including six on net to XU's four.
Justin Marshall made one save in his appearance in goal for Xavier. Luis Soffner made three saves in the victory for IU. Spencer led all Xavier players with three shots and also had two shots on goal along with Matt Walker. Kotlov had a game-high four shots for IU.
The campaign was a banner year for the Musketeers who bested the previous win total by two and had school records for assists and points. Xavier's win against Kentucky in the first round of the tournament was the program's first in addition to the at-large bid the team received.
It was the final match for Spencer, Marshall, Cohen, Sean Ryan, Andre Bezerra and James Queree. The six players reached three NCAA Tournaments, won two Atlantic 10 Championships and helped Xavier set numerous records.

|Tolkien Gateway is 10 years old. Sign up today to edit TG and help us grow for years to come.
Template:Royalty infoboxMallor (F.A. 895 - 1110, died aged 215) was the son of Beleg and grandson of Amlaith of Fornost, the founder of Arthedain. He became king at the age of 134 when his father died in T.A. 1029, and ruled during troubled times.
Mallor's reign saw events that would have a huge impact on Middle-earth's history, but whose importance weren't fully recognized at the time. The first of these was the arrival across the Misty Mountains of a strange race of beings: similar to Men, but far shorter and with hairy, bootless feet. The Dúnedain called them periannath, "halflings", and they were the first Hobbits to enter the western lands.
The second historic event was the descent of a strange shadow on Greenwood the Great. This was wholly mysterious at first, but before the end of Mallor's reign, the Wise had discovered that its source was at Dol Guldur in the southern part of the forest. It was not discovered until long after Mallor's time that his reign had seen the return of Sauron himself, the first move in a game that would end in the War of the Ring nearly two thousand years in the future.
It was also during Mallor's reign that the Istari - the Wizards - arrived in the north of Middle-earth, soon after the shadow had fallen on Greenwood the Great. At this time, though, even the Wise did not suspect that it might be Sauron returned.
Mallor ruled Arthedain for eighty-one years, and was succeeded by his son, Celepharn, upon his death in 1029.
Isildur : : : Beleg | | MALLOR | | Celepharn | | Celebrindor
The etymology of Mallor's name is hard to work out, although, it is likely that at least part of relates to the Sindarin word mall- meaning "gold" - perhaps Mallor had golden hair.

Same-Sex Intimacy in Fiction about Southern Plantations
Speaking June 25, 2009 at Outwrite Bookstore & Coffeehouse in Atlanta, Georgia, Michael Bibler discusses same-sex relationships in twentieth century literature about southern plantations—the subject of his book Cotton's Queer Relations: Same-Sex Intimacy and the Literature of the Southern Plantation, 1936–1968. He considers the ways in which same-sex character couples offer these authors vehicles to explore modes of equality in the intensely hierachial plantation structure.

•Regular HEAP is a one-time program year benefit based on gross income, household composition, energy costs and type of heating situation. Regular benefits for households that pay directly for heat based on actual usage are paid directly to the vendor that supplies the household's primary source of heat.
•Emergency HEAP assists low-income New Yorkers who are facing a heat or heat related energy emergency and do not have resources available to resolve the emergency. Heat-related emergencies may include less than a quarter of a tank of fuel or propane; less than 10 days supply of wood, wood pellets or coal; or have a shut-off notice from their electric company.
LIHEAP Program Dates
Regular Heating: Nov. 16, 2011 - March 16, 2012
Emergency Heating: Jan. 3 - March 16, 2012
Regular HEAP Benefits
$450-$500: Fuel oil, kerosene, and propane
$250-$300: Wood, pellets, coal, corn, electric, natural gas

•County Office for the Aging (those 60 years of age and older can apply here), (518) 565-4620
Clinton County officials are dealing with major funding cuts to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) by using more local dollars to make sure families stay warm this winter.
HEAP, as it is known locally, is a federally funded program that helps low-income households meet their energy needs during the winter. President Barack Obama signed a budget bill (Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012) on Dec. 23 that cut HEAP funding from $4.7 billion to $3.478 billion.

Over his career, Todd's conducted hundreds - if not thousands -- of interviews on radio and TV, talking about sports, Spawn, sci-fi, gaming, music, movies and more. He's no stranger to the microphone and, as most of you know, he even hosts his own radio show every Thursday.
Now, Todd's joining ESPN Radio's GameNight Show with Chris Moore and Chuck Wilson, which can be heard on nearly 300 ESPN Radio affiliate stations every night from 7 to 11 PM Eastern time. The show also airs on the weekends with different hosts. Todd's weekly segment will last approximately 10 minutes, and debut on Thursday, May 8. He is currently slated to appear every Thursday, at some point during the evening.
The show features interviews with everyone from fans to athletes to team owners and executives (hey, isn't that Todd all rolled up into one guy?). The hosts talk sports with other regular guests, including another Arizonan, Republican Sen. John McCain, who chimes in weekly to talk about the hot topics of the day. You can e-mail questions for Todd to the show at email@example.com. Indicate Todd McFarlane question in the subject line.

The Moultrie News will once again sponsor an essay contest in coordination with local attorney Larry Kobrovsky.
This year's topic will be the meaning of the First Amendment "Freedom of Religion" clause.
Open to all middle school and high school students as well as adults, the contest will accept entries until May 20.
At a time when conflicts between different religious beliefs and non-beliefs are at the heart of nearly every major political issue, the Moultrie News wants to know what its readers and local students think about the meaning of the First Amendment, which reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
After winning a federal lawsuit based on the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, longtime attorney Larry Kobrovsky wanted to make people more aware of the language of the Constitution, so he began a community-wide essay contest. Most people think the First Amendment contains a separation of church and state, Kobrovsky pointed out, when in fact that concept comes from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote after the First Amendment was enacted. Misperceptions like this one are what Kobrovsky hopes to fix. "I'm convinced that the Constitution is the foundation of our way of life and why we're exceptional," he said.
"The more people who are aware of it and wrestle with the language, the better off we'll be."
Special to the contest this year is the addition of a featured judge. Gene Tumbleston, a former prisoner of war during the Korean conflict, will join the Moultrie News staff in picking the winners. He is an 81-year-old Mount Pleasant resident. Tumbleston is just one of many POW's who live among us in the Lowcountry. He is an unassuming man - not one to seek attention for his service to the United States. He is being honored to commemorate his service.
Teachers with the most students participating from their classes will be awarded $250. Prizes are as follows: High School - First place: $250; Second place $100
Middle School - First place: $100; Second place: $50
Adult - First place: $250
Judges will look for organized, clear and persuasive writing, and essays will be judged based on content, organization, style and grammar.
Essays must be double-spaced and typed in 12-point Times New Roman font.
Middle school students should write no more than 300 words; high school students and adults should write no more than 500 words.
Essays will only be accepted by emailing email@example.com no later than May 20. Faxed or mailed submissions will not be accepted.
Include your name, email address, and phone number.
In addition, if you are a student, also include your school, grade and teacher.
Judges will not see this information.
Winners will be announced May 29.
The first place winners' essays and photos will be printed in the Moultrie News.
Students, here is a chance to show off your knowledge and voice your opinions - and this time it's for money, not a grade, so it's up to you to take the initiative.
Teachers, here's a chance to show off your students and the knowledge they have gained from your teaching.
And for the adults, this is an opportunity to write an essay just like you used to back when you were in school.
If that doesn't motivate you, think of it as a chance to let your voice be heard.
If that still doesn't do it, think of it as a chance to win some cold cash to spend on that new grill you've been wanting for the summertime.

It's no secret that some of the world's most effective marketing teams are those that tie themselves directly to measurable revenue . Forecasting and quantifying the team's return on investment (ROI) allows marketers to better justify marketing spend and keeps the team's efforts closely aligned with their sales counterparts. Using forward-looking analytics, marketers can better understand their prospect's buying behavior and consequently improve their ability to forecast future revenue. Taking these best practices into consideration, our partners at Marketo built Revenue Cycle Analytics . The easy-to-use solution, powered by Pentaho , combines powerful analytics with Marketo's industry-leading marketing methodology. The resulting solution allows CMOs and their teams to easily measure performance benchmarks and forecast predictable ROI.

A huge congratulations to our partners at Ingres, who today announced that their lightening fast database VectorWise has set a new record for the Transaction Processing Performance Council's TPC-H benchmark at scale factor 100. Not only did Vectorwise set a new standard, but it blew the previous record holder out of the water, delivering 340% of the previous record. Equally outstanding about this news is the fact that VectorWise has not only changed the game in terms of performance, but the database also comes in at a fraction of the price of its competitors. Forward-thinking innovation, high performance, and low cost... sound familiar? It should. What does this mean to Pentaho users? Pentaho and Ingres established a partnership last October, with the goal to combine enterprise-class business intelligence with the speed and performance of the fastest analytical database on the market. With over 250,000 QphH (Queries per hour) for 100 GB of data, VectorWise is the epitome of agility at the database level. This means lightening fast query response times, more iterative cycles, and at essence, even more agile business intelligence. For more See the full announcement from Ingres View...

Last week, Pentaho was a sponsor at The Strata Conference in San Francisco, California. Over the two-day conference our booth was constantly packed with attendees. As I chatted with these eager visitors, I was pleased to hear comments such as: " My boss has asked me to look into Pentaho ," and " We currently have product X and we are looking into solutions that are easy to use and don't charge an arm and a leg for it ." As I was demoing the Pentaho BI Suite Enterprise Edition , one thing was clear … the line between business users and technical users is fading fast! Everyone wants access to data, but not everyone has it. Technical users, the ETL and BI developers, spend all their time on working with data, integrating, cleansing, standardizing, and analyzing it, but the business users need their data in a different way. Data gives these business users power. The days of traditional BI when IT was building standard reports and pushing it out to business users are over. Canned reports are too slow to arrive, too limited on the information they provide, and...

Last week I attended the O'Reilly's Strata Conference , in Santa Clara, California where Pentaho was an exhibitor. I gave a 5-minute lightning talk during the preceding Big Data Camp "un-conference" on the topic, The importance of the hybrid data model for Hadoop driven analytics , focusing on the importance of combining big data analytic results with the data elements already in firm's existing systems to give business units the answers to questions that were previously not possible or economic to answer (something that of course Pentaho now makes possible ). I also sat down for an interview with Mac Slocum, Online Managing Editor at O'Reilly, you can see the video below where we discuss what kinds of businesses can benefit from big data technologies such as Hadoop, and what is the tipping point for adopting big data technologies. The high quality of attendees and activity at this sell-out conference I think further confirms that although development work on solutions for big data has been happening for a few years, this area is undergoing a quantum leap in adoption at businesses both large and small. Simply put this technology allows...

'Interested minority'
To The Editor:
I agree with the letter Mason wrote last week where he was lamenting the apparent lack of interest many people have about voting – especially when it is an issue that impacts local taxes. But to answer his question, he must understand that the people who take the time to "weigh in" deserve to have their votes counted and be taken most seriously because they care enough to be there. They represent the "interested minority" and simply because their numbers are small, it does not mean they should not be considered to be representative of the wishes of their town. They are just acting in a responsible manner and showing that they value their right to vote, a privilege which we all share. Apathy is a very difficult challenge to understand or fight. You always have a chance to get what you vote for and showing up, unless it is an Australian ballot, is the first requirement.

A lifelong jazz enthusiast, he spent his youth as what he termed "an itinerant musician." He dearly loved the game of golf and belonged to the Concord (NH) Country Club for over 30 years. Following his retirement, he and Jean spent time between Pinehurst, NC, New London, NH, and Waterbury Center, VT.
Don is survived by his wife of 45 years, Jean C. Ross of Waterbury Center; his children, Nancy R. Brink and her husband Michael of Waterbury Center and David J. Ross and his wife Christine of Zurich, Switzerland; four grandchildren, Lexie Brink Pfister, Christian Brink, Preston Ross and Darius Ross; a great-granddaughter, Jane Rosli Pfister; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family.

Assisting the family is the Perkins-Parker Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Waterbury.

Thanks! We've had mixed responses on the name...from family mostly. Guess that's why we didn't tell anyone her name until she was born! ;-) DH didn't have the patience to listen to me list off names, so I made a list of 25 girls names. Some I loved, some I liked, and a few I could live with. I gave him the list and told him to circle the names he liked. He only liked 3 of the names!!!! Fortunately one was Avery, which was my 1st or 2nd choice (depending on the day). Her middle name (Ann) is after my great-grandmother whom I was very close to. We couldn't come up with any boys names we agreed on, but that turned out ok after we found out baby was a girl!
Question...how do you include a photo with your profile? I see a lot of the members have photos up.

Saw Palmetto For Hair Loss
What exactly is saw palmetto? The words have popped up in many an article that discusses hair loss, but many people are not entirely sure of what it is and how it affects hair loss. Read on to learn more about the amazing fruit. Saw Palmetto Origins and Side Effects Saw palmetto was originally used by Native Americans to treat urinary tract infections, and was also used as a food source. In subsequent years, people began to use the fruit as a natural remedy to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia as well as hair loss. Furthermore, saw palmetto supplements can be found in many forms; including oil, tablet, liquid extract, capsule, and soft gel. Saw ....Read More
