ACC Notebook: Finch out to clean up, speed up women's game
ACC women's basketball commissioner Nora Lynn Finch says the league is moving back to a game of finesse, speed and quickness this season.
Speaking at the ACC women's basketball media day commissioner's forum, Finch said many of the 32 rule changes that take effect this season are focused on allowing freedom of movement for players and eliminating contact on ballhandlers, shooters, cutters and post players.
Finch said there was unanimous agreement among coaches, officiating coordinators and administrators that the game had become too physical.
"It has to be officiated differently," Finch said. "And this year you'll see a change."
Excessive physicality is often mentioned as a major reason why Division I women's teams shot an all-time low 38.9 percent from the field and scored 62.12 points per game last season, down nearly eight points from 1981-82.
Finch said ACC women's basketball coordinator of officials Charlene Curtis is on board with the changes.
"Her employment depends on our officials officiating the game tighter," Finch said. "She's got that. The message is loud and clear to our officials, and I will reiterate that every time I see them."
A major focus is that players be permitted to move freely without being held, pushed, re-routed or impeded. The current guideline is that defenders are allowed one "measure-up" touch on the ballhandler, and any additional contact will be a foul.
"There will be more (fouls) in November and December then you've ever seen," Finch said. "And then it will start again in January because people won't believe that conference games will be called like that too, but they will."
Finch said that ACC teams will not be at a disadvantage in the NCAA Tournament because officials from other leagues are also under orders to call games tightly.
"I think our game needs to be cleaner," N.C. State coach Wes Moore said. "I think we need to give these ladies a chance to show off the talents they have."
Duke was picked as the team to beat in the ACC by both the league's coaches as well as the ACC's Blue Ribbon Panel.
Duke has won the ACC Tournament three of the last four years and has won or shared the regular-season title in each of the last four years.
Newcomer Notre Dame was picked No. 2 with Maryland and North Carolina rounding out the top five.
N.C. State was picked 10th in the 15-team league.
Maryland's Alyssa Thomas was selected as the ACC's preseason player of the year.
Seniors Chelsea Gray and Tricia Liston, and junior Elizabeth Williams, represented Duke on the Blue Ribbon Pane's preseason All-ACC team, with UNC sophomore Xylina McDaniel also being picked.
Those four, along with UNC freshman Diamond DeShields, are on the coaches preseason all-ACC team.
The coaches identified DeShields and Duke's Oderah Chidom on the newcomer watch list. The Blue Ribbon Panel also included Duke's Kendall McCravey-Cooper on its newcomer watch list.
Durham's Breezy Williams, a former Northern High School star player, is one of five seniors on N.C. State's roster for Wes Moore's first year as the Wolfpack's coach.
N.C. State hasn't played in the NCAA Tournament since 2010, which is a major reason why athletics director Debbie Yow replaced Kellie Harper with Moore following last season.
To get the Wolfpack back to the tournament, Moore expects drastic improvement from his players. In that department, Moore said, Williams has worked to get to get playing time.
"Breezy has a lot of athletic ability," Moore said. "She's a strong guard. She needs to continue to work to improve her perimeter shot. She can do some little things to help us but she has to work on them – boxing out, defense. We are looking at her as a 3 player. A lot will have to do with how well she handles that offensively. How well she handles the ball. How well she shoots the ball."
The 5-11 Williams started six of N.C. State's 34 games last year, including five starts in ACC play. She averaged 3.7 points per game while playing 10.2 minutes a game.

I have a spare Mosin carbine action. 1950s made, short barrel, sidefolder bayonet, absolutely perfect metal, has everything except the wood parts and stock screws.
I could buy a stock and screws and have a nice rifle, but face it, I already have a primo Mosin 91/30, and there were eleventy zillion Mosins made, most of them still original, so there's no real incentive to "restore" this one.
So... what to do? I already have an Enfield .45-70 project, and a bolt action target rifle.
The Voices are muttering about an underfolder stock, 20-round Lahti magazine, and a PPsh-style vented metal handguard with the sidefolder bayonet. Maybe a pistol grip.
And some kind of tacti-cool flash hider or muzzle brake...
I think the Voices as a bunch of wimps. Surely you guys can come up with more bling than that!

|Associate Head Coach
|33rd season / 31st full time
|Previous College:
|Springfield '71
Ed Datti is in his 33rd year with the program, 31st as a full-time coach, in 2013-14. The associate head coach is known as one of the top assistants nationally. In 2012, he was named the EAGL Assistant Coach of the Year (with assistant coach Jess Kelley) for the second time in his career and the NCAA Northeast Regional Assistant Coach of the Year (with Kelley) for the ninth time in his career.
He previously garnered the NCAA Regional Assistant Coach of the Year in 1991, '94, '97, 2001, '03, '06, '08 and '10; his previous EAGL Assistant Coach of the Year merit came in 2010.
Datti is highly respected by his colleagues for his skills as a strong technical coach and outstanding spotter. UNH head coach Gail Goodspeed states: "Obviously, I am a little biased, but Ed is one of the best spotters in the nation. He can anticipate when a gymnast is in need of assistance and can react faster than seems possible. He also has the unique ability of knowing exactly how much assistance is needed. A great balance is created with his technical expertise and spotting ability to help all of our team members continue to improve and upgrade their skills."
At UNH, Datti is responsible for the majority of the recruiting and continues to bring top gymnasts to the UNH campus. He is the director of a highly successful summer camp and initiated a community class program. Datti also co-teaches a movement and gymnastics exploration class for the kinesiology department with Kelley.
Datti is the former owner and head coach of the Montvale School of Gymnastics in Woburn, Mass. This was one of the first private gymnastics schools in Massachusetts and he coached several top USGF gymnasts during the 10 years of operating the club. Before his Montvale affiliation, Datti taught at Saxonville Elementary School in Framingham (Mass.) and coached the Framingham South High School girls gymnastics team.
A 1971 graduate of Springfield (Mass.) College, Datti was a four-year competitor on the gymnastics squad. In his senior year, he was team captain and earned All-America honors in floor exercise. He is originally from Framingham, Mass.

Honey bees are also an integral component of agriculture, providing pervasive and largely under-appreciated pollination benefits to crops and wild plants, as well as the economies and ecosystems that depend on them.

Baldwin VISION Centipede Demonstrator
6-34686 | Price: $2,199.99
The massive Baldwin "Centipede" diesel locomotive now joins the Lionel VISION Line roster.
In the mid-1940s, Baldwin Locomotive Works created a behemoth two-unit diesel prototype, the DR-12-8-1500/2, generating orders from the Pennsylvania, Union Pacific (but never received), Seaboard Air Line, and NdeM railroads. To meet the needs of the bustling Postwar economy, the units went into production starting in 1945 and continuing through the first half of 1948.
Unfortunately, the locomotives were built one by one, introducing differences in wiring and construction that would later contribute to their demise. Nonetheless, the Centipedes take their place as some of the largest diesel locomotives ever produced—and the most distinctive, with their iconic Baldwin "baby face" appearance. At over 181 feet for an A-A pair, these lengthy locomotive sets generated 6,000 horsepower.

I extend grace . . .
I extend grace . . .
I extend grace…
… by remembering the Grace that was extended to me.
What an amazing God we serve.
…by God's Grace…even to those who do not extend Grace to me.
I extend Grace to my pastor… I feel such a passion to the ministry of Compassion and I am so EAGER to share this ministry to my church that sometimes I am frustrated that my church leadership DOES NOT. My church is very much involved in the local community and is truly a beacon of light in our local community. They have been contemplating how to balance their reach to the local community with their reach with the global community and the process seems very slow to ME…
But not to God…
…because I want my children to learn how to love others unconditionally, just as the Father loves us.
because God first showed grace to me.
By trying to always be patient in situations where a lot of people lose their tempers… even when the cashier at the check out line is moving very slowly, or someone cuts me off in traffic, or no one wants to listen to what is really important in this world…
By talking to a stranger from Brazil.
I extend grace (imperfectly) by being willing to sit and teach a child to crochet or knit in the afterschool program at my school, even if that child is known to "not play well with others". It's hard to be nice to someone who is not always (or often) nice to be around, but these kids I have in mind need to see someone reacting positively toward them rather than have all their feedback be negative.
b/c I know I can use more and need more than whoever I am extending it to!!! I extend grace b/c I want grace myself!!! It is vital for me to function!!!

Not a big fan of t15 either, but tbh priest is probably the luckiest class in the game when it comes to gransmog anyways, so meh...
It's not mega-awesome cool, but if I didn't have transmog and had to wear it, I wouldn't really mind. Maybe wouldn't display helm, but I dunno.
All I know is that the Paladin is glorious; golden, and with lightning! Can't wait to see what the shoulders look like.
"It hath been found by experience that no matter how decent, intelligent or thoughtful the reasoning of a conservative may be, as an argument with a liberal is advanced, the probability of being accused of 'bigotry', 'hatred' or 'intolerance' approaches 1." - Cranmer's Law
2-night progression raiding: http://www.fullspectrumguild.com
Shadow-Raid Blog: http://shadow-raid.blogspot.com/
I think it looks 'ok' - not totally over the moon with it I do like the candles/incense on the shoulders, otherwise its kinda boring!
I wanna see some T5/T6 quality tiers!
Good thing you have 14 other tiers to transmog right? I dunno why people even care what new gear looks like. There's always an older set you like. Just stick with it until something better comes along.
I have been using t6/t2/AQ40 set for a while.
+1 not a fan either. As many have mentioned, thankfully we can just mog it \o/
I wish they came up with a set that also has a special effect for shadowpriests.
I hate wearing holy robes with crosses and candles, it sucks they don't do shit about shadow priests (and their lore), even though they are one of the coolest spec in game... also inb4 sha-touched special effect....
Orc Shaman - Pandaren Monk - Orc Warlock - Pandaren WarriorFrostwolf clan is best clan!
They should make the gear look good (Not to look like questing gear / half done gear) so ppl can wear it. Show it. Look cool. "Look at me I have done this raid in hc and gotten lucky with tier pieces" is what I want to see :<
I really despise all old priests set, was SO disappointed when I saw our t15. I want to glow and shine and have fire too with well detailed cool looking gear like mages/locks/druid/ and now monk always have.
They should fire whoever made these sets.
Except looking good, is entirely subjective.
Not a fan of this tier or the druid tier but thankfully there is transmog alternatives.
The other two are completely terrible, I wouldn't want to see my worst enemy wearing them. Who comes up with these color schemes anyway? Teal, gray, gold and amber? I feel like I'm looking at an ugly chandelier, not an armor set.
What I find most repulsive out of all the last years tiers are the colors... Murky, dark, unmatching color scheme and plain ugly.
I can hear the distant howling cries of gnolls as priests ride by. "You no take caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaandle!"
I wonder if priests will ever have a tier set that will make you go :O, lately it has just been totally crap :/
I actually sort of like candle thing on the shoulders, that's sort of cool a niffty. But honestly it has been awhile since I liked a tier at all, and even longer since I have loved a tier.
This one will be transmogged again ... especially because of the shoulders (you no take candle!!!) and the ridiculous head ...

Nice concept, has issues, not ideal
I got the iPhone 4 bumper on the day of launch and used it since launch until last week (so for few months). Here are my thoughts: I got the iPhone 4 bumper on the day of launch and used it since launch until last week (so for few months). Here are my thoughts:
* Cool concept - Works well for people who want a light weight cover/safety yet not carry the bulk. Truly Apple style design.
* Build - The body is firm, not flimsy. The rubber edge is like magnet, they will keep your phone still in any place, works great, I left it on the treadmill or car dash and it never moved. The rubber is soft, which gives it some protection in case the phone falls on a hard surface. By design the back is exposed but that is not an issue, it is a choice. The fit is perfect, you can slip it on or off easily, though I rarely did it (wish I did it sooner, keep reading). The rest of build has many issues covered under CONS.
* Buttons - The buttons feels great, you won't miss using the iPhone buttons. Getting to ringer button can be bit tough, not an issue though.
* Reception - Bumper or any cover is supposed to insulate the antenna shorting and avoid the iPhone 4 issue. It did as claimed but once I stopped using it, I noticed a different behavior, covered under CONS.
* Reception - So you would think that bumper will help with iPhone 4 antenna issue. Well, it did. My bars did not drop as it would otherwise. However, once I stopped using it (replaced it with ghost sticky skin), I noticed a significant improvement in my WiFi signal strength. This makes me wonder if it interfered with my WiFi antenna. Anyways, just an observation that I wanted to share here.
* Build - After a few months of use, I took off the bumper and found that the Inner lining had badly scratched the metal edges/antenna of the phone. Phone's power button and the metal body is scratched from all sides. This is a quality failure. The lining is supposed to protect the phone body, not harm it. It has cheap plastic (or something similar) inside that does more harm than good ! Unfortunately, its too late for me, my phone is scratched in only the areas that was protected by the bumper (irony ?).
* Holes for ports - If you live in Apple world then this bumper is for you. But if you plan to use non-Apply headphones or USB connector (in car or otherwise), you are out of luck. The bumper holes are precisely built to fit the small apple connectors or similar (rare to find), nothing else would fit. Yet another reason why I dumped the bumper.
CONCLUSION - Cool concept, good fit, nice from outside, cheap harmful material inside, limits use of 3rd party headphones/adapters. Cons weigh more than Pros for me and I no longer am using it. …

It offers no screen or back glass protection at all. The problem is the connectors. The dock connector port is a perfect fit for the apple dock connectors. However, if you have any accessory or 3rd party cables, this is where it becomes an issue. The ipod adapter in my car wouldn't work. Even an older apple branded ipod cable doesn't fit with the bumper on.

In the first few months everything seeme It is a very stylish and practical bumper case until it gets loose and begins to rip off. In the first few months everything seemed to be OK. After a half year or so the rubber, silicone parts became rigid and began to tear apart. 9-10 months after the purchase the bumper case was unusable. In addition the Sleep button has been scratched from the bumper. As the rubber pieces were torn the other parts of the iPhone has been scratched as well. Its price does not reflect the quality. I would not buy again this item, although I am satisfied with the Apple products in general. …

LOUISVILLE, Ky. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior Nathan Wanuch (Mississauga, Ontario) placed second in the men's Blue Race at the 11th annual Greater Louisville Classic Saturday morning at the E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park.
The event features teams from 115 colleges and universities and is deemed the largest collegiate meet this year. The course will be the site of the 2012 Pre-Nationals and NCAA National Championships later this season.
Wanuch ran the men's 8K course in a time of 24:46.41, just three seconds behind Northern Kentucky's J.J. Webber.
"I'm so proud of Nathan," UTC head coach Bill Gautier said. "He had to get around so many runners at the beginning of the race that he had a very good chance to win it."
Wanuch led the Mocs to a 19th place finish with teammate Paul Stuart, a freshman from Brentwood, Tenn., coming across the finish line second for Chattanooga with a time of 25:58.17.
Freshman Trevor Janssen (Jordan Station, Ontario) was the third UTC runner across the line with a time of 26:42.13 in the 148th position followed by sophomore Drew Austell (Memphis, Tenn.) at 180 and John Gilpin (Nashville, Tenn.) at 188 in the race featuring 362 runners and nearly 50 teams.
"We're a very young team," Gautier said. "Our top two runners (Lucas Cotter and Mark Cole) are out with injuries right now so we're going with a very young lineup."
Sophomore Amanda Sumner (Bristol, Conn.) placed 18th for the Lady Mocs who lost a runner during the race and did not score in the team standings.
"Amanda did a great job out there," Gautier said. "I forget sometimes that she hasn't run cross country in two years. She is good enough that she could have been in the top three today. She was leading for a while. She just needs a little more experience."
Senior Kathryn Stuart (Brentwood, Tenn.) was running second for the Lady Mocs alongside freshman Teghan Henderson (Pickering, Ontario), but stepped in a hole and had to pull from the race.
"I think we would have done well on the women's side if Kathryn had not gotten hurt." Gautier said. "But Teghan did a great job. She's so young and is doing well for us."
Henderson was the second Chattanooga runner across the line placing 24th overall with a time of 18:26.10. Sophomore Keeley Stewart (Winchester, Tenn.) has stepped up her running this season and was 95th overall with a time of 19:13.72. Freshman Helenka Kis (Columbia, Tenn.) was the final UTC runner to finish in the race featuring 337 runners and 45 teams.
"This was good to experience," Gautier said. "Today was much like the Penn Relays is for track and field. Many of the best teams in the country were here today."
The Running Mocs will return to action in two weeks at the annual Front Runner Invitational on their home course at the Moccasin Bend Race Course. The women's 2-mile is slated to start at 3 p.m. with the men's 5K to follow.

I went down to Little Saigon in Orange County to celebrate Lunar New Year, Vietnamese style. Here I'm being fitted for my dress. Traditional Vietnamese dresses are called Ao Dai.
These dresses are super flattering with high side openings and wide, silky, flowing pants.
Next stop is the Vietnamese New Year Festival, where I found a baby cherimoya tree.
This marketplace made me feel like I was in SE Asia, except it was much colder here in California. Tons of tropical fruit like rombutan, cherimoya, and jackfruit. Yummy!
These magnolias are so pretty!
There were so many varieties of orchids at the Lunar New Year Festival. Check out the bulbous orchids at the top of this photo, hanging down.
It's the Year of the Dragon. And, no Lunar New Year Celebration is complete without dragon dancers. These Vietnamese dragons, aka lion dragons, are made up of 2 people, while the Chinese dragons are much longer.
There were 4 different lion dragons in different colors. People were feeding the lion dragons 'lucky' dollar bills to ensure good luck and fortune for the new Lunar New Year.
And last but not least….. fresh durian! Here my friend and I are driving and eating durian in the car. We actually think durian smells good! Sweet and delicious. I guess I can only be friends with people that love durian too. Hahaa.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year that's filled with tons of love, bliss, health, and prosperity. May we all choose to live long and be happy! xoxo

It sounded good, however now that I'm at that last physical copy, I've tried accessing my digital copy, but it will not let me read. It says "Read the current issue of our magazine in digital form.", but no link. I hope this can be resolved, thanks.

Williams and Linares Run Best Times at CCOC
- Release Date:

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
GENEVA, NY – Running his fastest race of the year, sophomore Matt Williams completed the 8K course at Seneca Lake State Park in 33:29 to lead the Hilbert men's cross country team to a 12th place finish. Clarkson University earned 32 points to run away with the men's trophy in the Cross Country Only Competition race hosted by William Smith College.
Hilbert's Maria Linares was the first Hilbert women to break the tape crossing at 22:58, also running her fastest 5K race this fall. The Hawks placed 14 out of 16 women's team as the host William Smith earned 45 points to capture their own invitational.
Finishing 32 points behind Clarkson, Hartwick College also out-distanced third place SUNYIT in the men's race by 46 points. Both Clarkson and Hartwick placed three of their top five runners in the top 9 slots for their commanding lead over SUNYIT.
After Williams' 77th overall finish, freshman John Sadowski clocked in at 35:21.61 (101), senior Aaron Lawrence at 35:28.70 (103), freshman Matt Hunt in 39:10.15 (125) and Steve Crane in 53:21.43 (141).
In the women's race, the top three teams were much closer in points than in the men's version. William Smith clipped in at 45 points with three of their top five finishing in the first 4 spots. Clarkson University's top two runners broke into the top 9, which caused them to finish nine points behind the host team as SUNY E.S.F. came in third with 75 points.
The Hawks, who finished 46 points ahead of the last placed Penn State Abington, put together their best race of the season. Supporting Linares's 31st overall finish in Geneva were: Kiara Hilario (24:35.94 – 61st) , Jackie Downey (33:17.29 - 117), Allison Hall (33:40.99 - 118), Elissa Hall (40:25.25) who matched Stephanie Smith in time (125 and 126).
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.

MagnetoSpeed LLC worked with Southwest Research Institute(SwRI) to quantify the ballistic accuracy of the MagnetoSpeed sensor package. SwRI uses a bench top range setup to do ballistic tests on ammunition and uses a double Oehler sky screen setup to accurately capture bullet velocity. In the table above, seven shots were taken all using the same ammunition (7.62x51mm M80) with the MagnetoSpeed sensor as well as the double skyscreen Oehler setup. Velocity 1 above is the velocity measured at the first set of skyscreens and Velocity 2 is read at the second set. When the muzzle velocity is back calculated based on the distance between skyscreen sets and the muzzle we obtain the "Calculated Muzzle" velocity in feet per second (fps). Comparing this to the Magnetospeed data we get percent differences of less than half a percent. This data series shows that the MagnetoSpeed is at least 99.6% accurate to the Oehler system used at SwRI for this test.
jrs - First saw one of these at the local range about a month ago. It was reading low and the guy that owned it told me the next week that he called the company and they said, "No problem. We'll issue an RMA and pickup tag. Just box everything in the original box and here's the tracking number for your replacement unit."
So last time at the range the new one was there and it was dead accurate. It got put on several handloader's rifles who knew the velocity of their loads.
I've ordered mine already. I'll update when I get it the end of the month.

Step 1: Take notice of the amazing power of her body
Step 2: Water and vitamins
Vitamins. Likely, she will take some kind of supplemental vitamin while pregnant. If you can make sure that she takes her vitamins every day with maybe even just an email or text message, she will feel like she is part of a well-oiled pregnancy team.
Also, the wonderful author was maybe too indirect for some folks to get the part about "the hormones that put.....will help get the baby out." Getting aroused, especially by nipple stimulation, helps get the uterus ready to work hard----and will make her feel beautiful, too.
Oh yeah, after awhile in labor, applying a really warm blanket to her lower back, w/no warning, will be the best thing that she's felt for many months!
And last, after nine months of being made much of, and receiving presents, suddenly ALL attention goes to the new kid on the block. If you, and a few others, will bring her little gifts, yummies, funnies, pretties, and especially something tailored to her particular likes will remind her of how important and loved she is. Not usually much of a problem, but this would be "advanced, graduate level" expression of support and esteem.
Beautiful 'ible! (Sorry about the length here, but this was as short as I could get it....)
Clean the toilet, deal with the trash, help with dishes without being asked to. On a regular basis. She will rave about you forever if you do this.
Another tip for newly-married guys: women LOVE to pretend you think of nothing but them, all the time. Therefore, the best and most awesome thing you can do is plan something to do with her, taking into account her schedule and everything (even look in her day planner, or on her calendar, for a good day/time), and then surprise her with it. The more elaborate the planning, the more it makes her feel super special!

BAKER – The Baker football team opens District 1-1A play Friday night when the Gators host Freeport at Doug Griffith Memorial Stadium with a 7 p.m. kickoff.
The Gators (3-2, 0-0) are coming off a tough 32-21 loss to Bozeman, but Baker coach Matt Brunson was able to find a silver lining in the cloud of defeat as his team turns its attention to the Bulldogs and the start of district play.
"We got beat by a good Bozeman team, but we take a lot of positives out of that game," he said. "Hopefully we can build on the positives and straighten out the negatives and get ready for Freeport.
"We rushed for a little over 200 yards and the offensive line play was very good. We came away with no turnovers, but we did have a punt blocked for a touchdown and we gave up some plays in the passing game. But overall, we shut them down to about 60 yards rushing and we rushed ourselves."
Brunson said that the way the Gators ran the football and defended the run was good enough to win most ball games and he is hoping his team will continue to run the ball well against Freeport.
Freeport (2-3, 0-0) won last year's game 17-14 on a field goal in overtime and Brunson is expecting another classic between the Bulldogs and Gators.
"Both (Freeport) coach (Jim) Anderson and myself, we are not going to change a whole lot because we do what our kids can do and we do what we believe in," Brunson said. "I think you can take a lot from last year's game and I think it will be a war again.
"We have to contain their quarterback. Gabe Moore cannot get on the edge and gain yards with his feet. We've got to force him into passing situations and make him throw it because when he breaks contain is when he is the most dangerous."
Brunson said he hopes that the Gators will be able to utilize some lessons they learned against Bozeman as they try to shut down the Freeport attack.
With the Gator offensive line blocking well and the running attack hitting on all cylinders Brunson probably won't try to fix something that isn't broken, but that doesn't mean the two coaches won't pull out all of the stops to win.
"Jim Anderson will do a great job and he'll have a few tricks up his sleeve and we will have a few of our own," Brunson said. "We will roll the dice and think the game will come down to the same things as last year's game of who makes the plays."
With only three district games, Brunson knows how important it is to open district play with a win and he is expecting another classic battle between the Gators and Bulldogs.
"If you want to get in the playoffs you've got to win two-our-of-three and the first one is going to be huge," he said. "It's going to be an exciting game. I really do believe that."

Chances are if you know Tarzan of the Apes at all, you know him from the movies, but for a legion of his admirers, it's both the original Edgar Rice Burroughs novels and a long-running newspaper comic strip where the character truly grew into legend.
Titan Books has just released a lush new hardcover, "Tarzan – In the City of Gold," the first of four planned volumes which when completed will collect the entire run of artist Burne Hogarth's unparalleled work on the Tarzan comic strip. The strip launched several years before Johnny Weissmuller ever donned a loincloth.
Something of a legendary figure himself, Hogarth took over the Ape Man's strip from "Prince Valiant"'s Hal Foster in 1937, a prize gig that catapulted the artist into the hall of fame of comic strip illustrators. This new book, so obviously lovingly assembled by Titan, shows off Hogarth's work with over-sized pages and some of the nicest reproduction and color work in the industry today. Turning each page is a real treat, and not simply because of Tarzan's wild adventures — Hogarth was a master of draftsmanship and layout, delivering action and intrigue in every panel with a detailed line and incredible attention to anatomy.
None of that is truly important, though, in light of the fact that publishers like Titan, working in conjunction with the still-active Burroughs estate, are working to keep Tarzan and his world alive and kicking into the 21st century. And that's not as easy as it seems, despite more than 100 years of the Lord of the Jungle's stories, for Tarzan may be seen by some as an archaic figure, a non-politically correct dinosaur from an Africa that never really existed. In fact, this volume of comic strips serves as something of a time capsule, a look into a pop culture phenomenon that reminds us of simpler times and even simpler pleasures. "Tarzan – In the City of Gold" reinforces the character's place in publishing history, yes, but it might also make a reader yearn for a time when a comic strip was something you looked forward to, day in and day out.

Why Digital Literacy? A bit of thought analysis…
2 Nov
As we've begun writing and advocating for greater investment in digital literacy we've challenged ourselves to step back and think, does digital literacy really matter? Should all young people really be forced to take a programming class? Should teachers teach the basics of Internet architecture?
For some, the answer is a resonant yes. But, it's not obvious.
We don't, for example, teach young people how to build houses or cars at school, though it's clear that both physical architecture and the basics of combustion engines impact our every day lives. We don't even teach many young people the basics of the stock market, investing, or simple money management.
Why then is digital literacy different? Is it different? Or is this just another case of tech-exceptionalism….
As we've explored the blogosphere it's become clear that those who advocate for digital literacy are motivated by many different visions and world views. They also attack the challenge from different angles.
For many policymakers and professional training advocates, digital literacy is about empowering the next generation of workers and students with the skills needed to compete and add value in today's market.
For Mozilla and other free speech advocates, this drive is about creating a "web-literate planet." It's about enabling anyone and everyone to understand what's "under the hood" on the Net and empowering individuals to build upon, understand, and manipulate the "operating system" of our lives.
And for many start-up community advocates, digital literacy is seen as a basic pre-requisite for managing programmers and cultivating the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Yesterday, Fred Wilson, a New York VC who is starting to invest in education projects like Code Academy and Skillshare, wrote a post on the importance of basic coding skills. Therein he posted a striking quote from media theorist Douglas Rushkoff.
Of everything I've read, Rushkoff provides one of the more eloquent and compelling justifications for investing in digital literacy:
When human beings acquired language, we learned not just how to listen but how to speak. When we gained literacy, we learned not just how to read but how to write. And as we move into an increasingly digital reality, we must learn not just how to use programs but how to make them. In the emerging, highly programmed landscape ahead, you will either create the software or you will be the software. It's really that simple: Program, or be programmed.
We'll be refining our own views and justifications over the coming months, but for those fighting the good fight on digital literacy today, hopefully these thinkers both inspire and put a few more arguments in your arsenal.

Georgetown County firefighters were called to Carvers Bay High at about 8 a.m. because of what was described as a "smell of gas" in the cafeteria.
The cafeteria staff were evacuated but the students remained in class.
When firefighters arrived, they reportedly discovered the problem was coming from a propane tank. The tank was shut off until someone from the gas company can respond to make repairs.

Hi, I just joined as a member. I suffered severe PE with the birth of my first daughter in 2006.
I joined for many reasons. The main two reasons being: I want to increase awareness and knowledge of PE. I feel that sometimes when I talk about my experience, people just roll their eyes and don't understand the gravity of the situation we (me and my daughter) were in during labor & delivery.
Secondly, I don't know how to get over the experience. I hope that by listening and talking to others that have dealt with PE that maybe I can come to terms with my experience, and hopefully have another child someday.
I look forward to reading posts, and hopefully becoming active within the foundation.
DH (Chad - 32)
DD (Meah - 1/18/06) - 36 weeks, severe PE

Water rates may rise as part of the 2013-2014 Jonesville town budget.
Town Council members forwarded the idea at a budget workshop April 19 as a way to combat the need for deeper budget cuts. The water rate would not eliminate budget cuts, but could make them lighter than was previously feared.
To keep the tax rate at 40 cents per $1,000 on the assessed value of a property, council members will need to cut $110,000 from the general fund, according to officials. The council members considered raising the amount of return from the water fund to $90,000, a figure the town received several years ago.
The problem arises from the choice between volumetric and baseline rates. The town has previously raised volumetric rates to gain higher revenue from high water users, but the actual amount gained was negligible. Most residents use the bare minimum for water, which is causing the town to consider raising the price on baseline water users.
But that too presents issues. Boonville is in talks to buy water from Jonesville, council members said. With rises in water costs Boonville may decide to back out of the deal, of which nothing is in writing or finalized yet. However, Boonville would be charged a percentage of the in-town rate, which may allow some flexibility.
Water charges are given monthly, whereas property taxes are only charged yearly. The council hopes that if a rise in water charges occurs the residents would not find it as severe as they would a $70 increase per $1,000 yearly.
Other possible options include charging town employees 10 percent of their health insurance premiums. Costs for health care are expected to reach $10,269 per employee.
The police department may have to forgo any new patrol car if the council decides to cut its capital outlay money. Two cars were requested for the next budget and one was already cut.
Council members requested a 50 percent pay cut to help with the budget, saying they should not be above the cuts.
Cuts to donations may happen as well, such as the Jonesville Public Library, Historical Society, and the Chamber of Commerce.
Garbage fees may be raised. Currently the residents of Jonesville get trash services for roughly the cost to the town. The budget may require a profit to be made on the disposal.
Other options include cutting employee Christmas bonuses and choosing a lower quality of health insurance for employees. The town may cut the amount they match non-police department employees on their 401(k)'s.
Police departments are required to match their officers' 401(k) plans.
Councilman Danny Lewis suggested one cut for the police department, one for administration, and one for public works.
"If we don't [do something] the water bill is going to go through the roof," council member Andy Green said.
Town Manager Scott Buffkin told the council that nothing in this process would come easily.
"This is not a decision I expect you to reach lightly," Buffkin said. He added that the town had to either make heavy cuts or raise revenue, but it could not stand still.
The town is having to consider any and all options to make the budget work, but there is no silver bullet to cure the financial woes Jonesville is expecting. The next budget meeting is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. on May 10.

The way she was able to keep all of the party guests involved and was able to read them when they needed a break / drink etc. and she was able to change her plans to keep them entertained. All of the children and adults at the party had a fabulous time! I couldn't recommend this party more highly…..FANTASTIC. The music was great and all the party goers were entertained for the entire 2 hours. Thanks Tiffany

Dear Tiffany, I wanted to say a huge thanks and to tell you that the girls had an absolute ball at their party. As parents, we also thought it was fantastic and feedback from other parents and their kids was that it was great – the kids had a fantastic time and the parents loved it as well. I hope that your business booms and that we have helped to drum up some customers for you by having you at our party.
Thanks again and I would definitely recommend you to others (and have already started doing so).

For Hockey Fans: A Feast for the Senses
Friday, December 01, 2006
The NHL 14 lineup has been twisted, turned, flipped and is now completely finalized and ready for your approval. As mentioned in an online ToddCast, we're making a shift in the 2007 NHL Sports Picks lineups -- making each lineup consist of four players rather than the traditional six. This is a GOOD thing for our NHL collectors, so bear with us as we explain. Our 2007 NHL Sports Picks schedule called for NHL 14 (six figures) in the spring, NHL 15 (six figures) in the fall, and NHL Legends 5 (six figures) just before Christmas. Todd wanted to find a way to make NHL product more of a year-round event, particularly in Canada, where summer sales (in hockey's off season) have been strong for our Canada-direct series of the past (NHL 5, 8 and 11).
Todd's new plan is to deliver four-figure lineups more often, to preserve our shelf space in Canada and offer more total figures to our NHL collectors. The new schedule for 2007 looks like this:
NHL 14: Four-figure line due in stores in mid-March.
Wal-Mart Canada NHL 3-packs (Calgary, Vancouver and Ottawa): These are due exclusively in WMC stores in early April.
NHL 15: Four-figure line will have specific Canadian appeal, and may not be carried at standard U.S. retail. U.S. specialty and online retailers will be allowed to order this product. NHL 15 is due in stores in late June.
NHL 16: Four-figure line is our first-ever hybrid line, featuring two current stars and two players from our Legends series. NHL 16 is due in stores in late August.
NHL 17: Four-figure line will hit national retailers in the U.S. and Canada in late October.
NHL Legends 5: Four-figure line will hit stores in mid-December.
That listing doesn't include our 3-inch series, or anything else we might have in development right now. The new set-up provides for 20 NHL figures next year (plus a surprise or two), rather than the 18 under the original plan. The smaller lineups could hurt case sales for online retailers, but the ones in the U.S. should benefit from the NHL 15 line, which is not likely to be carried by any mainstream U.S. retailer.
Our hockey faithful have been patient long enough -- let's take a look at the final version of our NHL 14 series:MARKUS NASLUND 2HENRIK ZETTERBERGCURTIS JOSEPH 2 (Coyotes)CURTIS JOSEPH 2 (Oilers)MARIAN HOSSA (Thrashers)In addition to the NHL 14 lineup next spring, we've also settled the NHL 15 lineup -- which was specifically created to have appeal to Canadian fans:
DION PHANEUF: The 20-year-old defenseman made a huge impact in his rookie season, delivering 49 points to Calgary's attack while providing intimidating thunder to the Flames' blueline.
ROBERTO LUONGO 2: Luongo faced more shots than any other goalie in the NHL last season, and 357 more than the next-closest goalie. After surviving a Superman-esque season in Florida, Luongo found his long-awaited exit and arrived in Vancouver as the goalie savior for a talented but disappointing Canucks squad.
ERIC STAAL: Carolina's brilliant winger is the very definition of a Phenom: try scoring 100 points in the regular season and 28 more in the playoffs to lead your team to a Stanley Cup before you turn 21...
DARCY TUCKER: I know, I know. Darcy Tucker isn't going to win any league-wide popularity contests, but his 28 goals and 61 points were career highs for Toronto last season.
