What Is It?
C.P.T.E.D. (pronounced SEP-TED) is an urban planning tool that emphasizes the use of physical design features and land use characteristics to reduce or remove opportunities for criminal activity and to deter criminal behavior.
Five Elements:
- TERRITORIALITY - Defining your property as YOUR space to make criminals feel unwelcome. It's an expression of ownership and pride. Fencing is one component of Territoriality.
- NATURAL SURVEILLANCE - The intended users can observe the property. Effective lighting of a property is an example of natural surveillance.
- ACTIVITY SUPPORT - Placing activity where individuals become part of the natural surveillance.
- ACCESS CONTROL - Controlling and reducing the number of access points to a property. Gated communities are an example of access control.
- MAINTENANCE - Regularly scheduled maintenance routine will ensure the property demonstrates territoriality and natural surveillance.
Safe By Design vs. Retrofit:
Ideally, buildings in Scottsdale should be constructed with CPTED concepts built in. There are buildings that have already been built that must be retrofit to reduce criminal opportunities. For either safe by design or retrofit information, call a Scottsdale Police Department Crime Prevention Officer:

Hal Leonard has always strived to bring the joy of music into the lives of anyone who wants to experience it. By providing clear learning tools and making music accessible to young and old alike, Hal Leonard helps stimulate brain activity as well as build self-confidence in every musician. Whether you are a beginner who is setting out to learn the basics, or a more skilled performer who is looking to enhance their abilities, Hal Leonard has the tools you need to get the most out of your instrument.
Hal Leonard was originally founded as a dance band by brothers Hal Edstrom and Everett "Leonard" Edstrom alongside fellow musician Roger Busdicker. Because of their experience performing popular music, the company quickly stood out for their arrangements of hit songs to be performed by school bands. In order to capitalize on this unique skillset, Hal Leonard knew they needed to get proper licencing for their arrangements. With this in mind the boys traveled to New York City's legendary Tin Pan Alley and set the ground work for their publishing business. With that, the world of sheet music would never be the same again. Read More >

When I applied it into my crease, it didn't want to blend as readily as I would have expected, and it tended to look dry on the skin. MAC Heatherbelles is similar.

Understanding USERRA
Current data and litigation trends suggest servicemembers and employers alike are not fully aware of their rights and legal obligations under The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). This law gives certain job protections to servicemembers, aiming to minimize the potential disadvantages to an individual that can occur when that person is absent from civilian employment to serve in the country's uniformed services.
USERRA applies to virtually all employers and provides for severe punishment of both companies and individuals for violations, including discrimination against employees or applicants because of military service. While USERRA is of utmost importance for all servicemembers, it is especially important for those servicemembers who are currently mobilized or have been demobilized, and for servicemembers serving in the Reserves or the National Guard—even if they have not been mobilized.
USERRA generates a great deal of interest from many sectors, but especially from servicemembers and their families. If you serve in the Reserves or the National Guard, here is an outline of what you need to know about USERRA.
- Prohibits illegal discrimination against members of the uniformed services.
- Requires prompt reemployment, not at your job prior to mobilization but at the job and in the position you would have been at had you not been mobilized (this is known as the "escalator position" and is described more fully in the attached research article (PDF 199 KB).
- Provides for credit for mobilized time for seniority, retirement, rate of pay, and pension and retirement contributions.
- Provides for health care benefits.
- Provides for protection from discharge after return from military service, specifying the length of this protection as well as when the protection begins and ends. (This issue is especially critical because the USERRA clock does not start to run until an employer has satisfied all USERRA requirements, and it can be challenging for both servicemembers (employees) and employers to know when that occurs.)
- Provides for both corporate and individual supervisor liability for violations of USERRA.
- Provides for protection from discharge in hiring, promotion, and retention on the basis of present or future membership in the uniformed services.
To learn more, read the attached article (PDF 199 KB), which gives an overview of USERRA from the perspective of servicemembers (employees) and employers, and provides practical advice for those covered by the act on how best to adhere to this law as well as how to avoid liability under USERRA.
In addition, the Department of Labor has developed a helpful set of questions and answers describing how USERRA works, and the Department of Justice provides information about USERRA at www.servicemembers.gov.

One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it.

One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it.
Sidney Howard
Back to top.
You're working late at the office. It's time for dinner, but there's a problem. You're in the middle of your P90X program, and a big, greasy restaurant meal will throw your precision diet into complete chaos.
"But wait," you think, "aren't there restaurant meals listed in the back of the handy dandy P90X Nutrition Plan?" Yes, but you open it up and . . . d'oh! It's all fast food! You're with a client and you don't want to slum it!
Relax. You'll be fine. I'll talk you through this difficult situation.
The first thing you need to do is use common sense. Here's a quick list of things that'll help you survive any restaurant.
If you do this, you'll probably find yourself with a remarkably stripped-down meal that'll be easy to judge. Here's how to do that.
So, for example, let's take Denny's Grilled Tilapia. Here's how they describe it on the menu: a mild, white fish filet seasoned and grilled, then placed on a bed of savory vegetable rice pilaf. Served with your choice of two sides and dinner bread.
We have our fish, so that's 2 protein portions. The vegetable rice pilaf is 1 carb portion and 1 veggie portion. The corn and tomato slices are 1 veggie portion each. Let's call that 1 carb portion and 1 veggie portion. There doesn't seem to be a lot of fat going on here, so we'll skip the fat portion. However, the pilaf is savory, which implies a sauce, so let's add 1 condiment portion.
Here's where we end up.
Fit Fare Grilled Tilapia with Rice Pilaf, Corn, and Tomato Slices
3 veggie portions
2 protein portions
1 carb portion
1 condiment portion
Calories: 600

Simple, huh?
Of course, don't limit yourself to major chain restaurants. In fact, they usually cater to the lowest common denominator, so you'll probably have better luck finding healthier food at an independent restaurant specializing in fresh fare for more selective customers.
Unfortunately, I haven't spent much time in your neighborhood, so I don't really know much about your local joints. I do, however, have access to quite a bit of information about several national chains, thanks to the Internet. Here are a few examples to get you started. You'll note the nutrition information under the portion information. Many restaurants provide that on request. Don't be afraid to ask.

Energy drinks have taken over the soft drink market in a caffeine-fueled frenzy. By listening to the ad campaigns, you'd be sure that this has everything to do with your health. Now instead of leaving the convenience store with a gut bomb, you can grab a Monster can of Adrenaline that promises to Redline your performance until you're partying like a Rockstar. But do energy drinks really give you wings? Or are you more likely to experience a fleeting glimpse of euphoria, only to come crashing down like Icarus? This week, we take a deeper look at energy drinks, 911 style.
Since Red Bull entered the U.S. market in 1997, energy drinks have been chipping away at the soft drink and bottled water companies' stranglehold. According to an article in The New York Times, energy drinks have now surpassed bottled water as the fastest growing category of beverages. This isn't to say that they're hurting the soda companies, because pretty much everyone now makes an energy drink, from Hansen's to Steven Seagal. Despite a slew of drinks with far more provocative names such as Who's Your Daddy?®, Cocaine™, Jones Whoopass™, and Beaver Buzz™, the industry leader is still Red Bull, with sales over $3 billion last year.
Energy drinks have been around for decades, particularly in Asia and mainly in Japan. They weren't soft drinks like they are today. Instead, they were small vials of liquid promising to increase performance. These vials were usually filled with caffeine, many herbs containing caffeine, and some vitamins. Their target audience was businessmen, to aid their long work schedules.
Red Bull took its name and certain ingredients from a Thai supplement. It was watered down and sugar was added so that it could be consumed as a soft drink, targeting the under-30 crowd. And voilà, a new market was formed. Pretty much everyone has jumped on the bandwagon. The more consumer-friendly varieties tend to be larger and resemble soft drinks, but there are still some aimed at more "sports-specific" audiences like bodybuilders and ravers. These will often come in a smaller package resembling the vials that you get overseas, which are probably more suitable for those who want to feel as though they're doing something illegal.
So what's in the stuff that makes it so special and, even more importantly, is it special? The ingredients vary, but there is one constant: caffeine. No matter what any energy drink professes, its secret ingredient is caffeine. Many contain various forms of caffeine like guarana, yerba maté, and tea, but caffeine is the business they're in. Everything else is a side dish.
As an example, let's take a closer look at Red Bull's active ingredients.
We refer to both the amount of ingredients and the cost of such ingredients. Energy drinks are expensive, and given the amount you get of each ingredient, you'd better really like the way they taste. If not, you're being ripped off.
Let's start with sugar. First off, sugar is not performance enhancing, so paying extra for it makes little sense. If you want sugar, buy something that tastes good. Many energy drinks are also made with artificial sweeteners, which are exactly the same low-grade additives that you can get in a can of Big K® diet soda for 25 cents.
Caffeine is cheap, as is coffee, and the average cup of coffee has three times more caffeine than the average energy drink. There are whole Web sites set up to help you do the math on this. One such site, Energyfiend.com, lists the milligrams of caffeine per ounce contained in each energy drink. The more commercial brands like Rockstar and Red Bull have far fewer milligrams than some of the more esoteric brands. But nothing beats a good old cup o' joe, except the 1-ounce caffeine shots.
While the above-listed ingredients are the flagship ingredients of promotion, they aren't added in amounts that are effective. If you like the science behind taurine or inositol, you're better off buying it in bulk and then drinking plain coffee or tea.
While there is little doubt you will gain a burst of energy from these drinks, it's unlikely to be sustained energy. Furthermore, the type of rush you get will be followed with a crash that will make you crave more. Because these have very little nutritional value, chances are that consuming more than a couple will leave you feeling edgy or downright irritable.
Energy drinks may have a place in your diet, but with proper fueling and regular exercise, you are unlikely to need them regularly. We tend to be low on energy because we make poor food choices, sleep too little, exercise too little, and stress too much. No drug can offset this behavior except during the short term. Energy drinks should be nothing but an emergency solution.
Energy drinks are popularly used as cocktail mixers. Bars commonly promote such concoctions and energy drink companies often sponsor social gatherings. While mixing stimulants and depressants has been common among the partying sect for a long time, that doesn't make it safe. A 2006 study found a possible link between energy drinks and seizures, and research shows that combining heavy stimulants with heavy depressants could lead to heart failure. Remember that all rock stars don't make it through their partying years.
Your lifestyle has more to do with your energy level than anything else. Energy drinks should be reserved for the occasional pick-me-up or for sports performance. Consistent and intense exercise keeps your hormones working in balance and your body on an even keel. A proper diet with plenty of fiber, protein, vitamins, and good fatty acids that's supported by plenty of fresh water will give you long-term, sustained energy. Finally, getting ample sleep helps you recover from the stress and breakdown of everyday life. This is your real Pimp Juice if you want to keep your Diesel engine going Full Throttle all day, even if you've got to catch a Red Eye.
Next time, we'll wrap up the beverage portion of class by looking at everyone's favorite elixir, alcohol.

Since last summer, I've been on the hunt for a cute pair of cream colored crochet shorts. But the ones I find are not the type I'm looking for, or they're not my size. So when I found this crochet lace mini skirt, I knew it would get me through until I found my shorts.
I bought this skirt back in January and I've been itching to wear it. With the nice weather staying, I decided now is as good a time as any. Paired the skirt with my denim shirt which I tied at the waist. Thought it gave a fun vibe. Hope you like!

You absolutely have to put dressing fries on your list too Todash, imagine fries topped with dressing, cheese and gravy! So good!!!
I don't believe it. Today the bus I take was flashing Merry Christmas. Was I offended? No freakin way. It put a smile on my face.
FWIW, I love Canada too. I recently spent a week in Toronto and fell in love with it. I visit Vancouver and Victoria as often as I can - I adore both cities. If I had to emigrate, it would be to Canada.
So to all my Hoser friends, Merry Christmas, eh.
All of the warm thoughts of Canada are wonderful, my mother is from Newfoundland so the mention of jiggs dinner warms my heart!! I won't talk about our many flaws as a country like our heavily taxed "free" healthcare, long wait times for medical tests/procedures..oops sorry!! Merry Christmas/happy holidays!
Hey, Staro! Jiggs Dinner, you betcha, kiddo. Jay, you have put some downhome thoughts in my head. Now I just want to find the nearest Newfie Takeout for a fish and chips, dressing and gravy! Really miss those.
I intend to make a boiled mollasses pudding as well,Sharon. Now Jaime has me thinking about fries and dressing, I will go one better. I want a Day and Ross newfie dish....fries, gravy, dressing,hamburger meat and onions all covered with cheese.
She means stuffing...usually made the newfie way with summer savory. If you enjoy your stuffing with mashed potatoes and gravy you would probably like it on fries..it is delish.

The Secrets in Every Room: Nicholai Shaver's Exhibition at Fountain SquareMonday, November 5th, 2012
Artist Nicholai Shaver will have an exhibit at the Fountain Square Branch during November and December. There will be a reception on December 7 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., but you can go anytime and admire, for example, Our Lady of Saavedra.
That isn't yet the name of this painting, but on Mr. Shaver's Facebook page, he says that he'll give a prize to whoever gives the painting an appropriate name. I just now entered Our Lady of Saavedra and I don't think I can miss.
Oh . . . wait . . . that Facebook entry was from October 10, and someone else has already won the prize. I just look at Mr. Shaver's website, and the painting has been named Dusk over Monastery.
Be that as it may, I think The Secrets in Every Room is a great title for an exhibit. This one, free and open to the public at Fountain Square, will run for two months and should be exciting.

Saturday, July 6, 2013
This month Summervillians have the opportunity to help one of their own get inducted into the Charleston Baseball Hall of Fame.
The Charleston Baseball Hall of Fame's advisory committee has named former Green Wave pitcher Steven Jackson as one of one of eight candidates for the Hall's Class of 2013.
Which three of the eight candidates will be enshrined will be determined by voting from local fans. Official ballots are available at Riley Park and on-line voting is also available at http://www.ballotbin.com/voterReg.php?b=40063
Voting will conclude on Aug. 2. On Aug. 9, the three individuals with the most votes will be inducted prior to the RiverDogs' game against the Rome Braves.
After pitching for Summerville High, Jackson played at Clemson for four seasons (2001-04) despite being drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 38th round of the 2000 MLB Draft. He was also drafted after his junior season with the Tigers by the Cleveland Indians in the 32nd round but remained in school.
In his four years as a Tiger, Jackson put together a record of 19-8. His professional career began in the Arizona Diamondbacks' system after he was a 10th round pick in 2004. He spent three seasons in their minor league program before being traded to the New York Yankees in January 2007 as part of the Randy Johnson trade.
In 2009, Jackson was called up to the majors for the first time by the Yankees but never got into a game. He was then designated for assignment by the club and he was selected off waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates where he made his major league debut on June 1 against the New York Mets. Jackson would spend the next year and a half going between Pittsburgh and Triple-A Indianapolis.
He began the 2011 season in the Los Angeles Dodgers' organization before signing with the Cincinnati Reds and finally being traded back to the Pirates.
During his time in the majors, Jackson pitched in 54.1 innings during 51 appearances with a 2-4 record and a 4.31 ERA.
The Charleston Baseball Hall of Fame is coordinated and operated by the Charleston RiverDogs. An advisory committee consisting of knowledgeable and local volunteers was created to come up with the names as potential nominees. The Hall of Fame is located inside Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park.
Other finalists for the Class of 2013 are H.A. "Pete" Ayoub, Tim Cook, Kiki Cuyler, Irish Abney Danehay, Drew Meyer, Channing Proctor and Britt Reames. Their biographies are available at http://www.ballotbin.com/voterReg.php?b=40063.

Editor's note: This is the first of a two-part report on Kentucky's Medicaid managed care program. Next week's story will profile two bills currently making their way through the Kentucky General Assembly to address issues mentioned in the following report.
HAZARD — Kentucky's Medicaid managed care program has given both providers and patients a run for their money — sometimes literally — in the last few years, now, however, some doctors say they are standing up and giving a voice to those Medicaid patients who may not feel like they have a voice to begin with.
Dr. Syamala Reddy, an ophthalmologist at the Hazard ARH, knows all too well about the silence of Medicaid patients; 30 percent of patients he sees are Medicaid patients, who, since 2011, have had to contend with managed care organizations (MCOs) to be seen or heard by a physician.
Reddy, who has been a provider to some of his patients for over 30 years, said one of the main issues with the MCOs is the pre-certification process and wait time. Before any Medicaid patient can be seen, or procedure or test can be started, even something as simple as a check-up, the patient must be pre-authorized and certified to ensure that their care will be covered by their MCO.
The average wait time for a pre-certification is around 48 hours, Reddy said, and that is not adding in the amount of time it could take to get through to the company to start the pre-certification process.
"Imagine the hardship the patient goes through when they come in for a check-up, and I send a request for a pre-cert, come back after two days to hear a response," Reddy said. "On average, it takes seven minutes of my time to get any telephone call to talk to somebody. Not to count the number of hours my staff has taken."
Reddy said he has allocated one staff member, Keila Pigman, solely for the job of handling all Medicaid calls and pre-certifications because it is too much of a hassle to have everyone on staff trying to add that to their workload.
"You fight tooth and nail and stay on the phone for four hours for them to tell you that they're not going to approve it. It's not worth it," Pigman said. "They don't care about the patients' health; they just care about how much money it's going to cost them."
Reddy said he has also had issues with what medicines the MCOs will cover for his patients. Fourth-generation antibiotics and medicines, which are the newest and strongest medicines in the field right now, are not being covered most of the time. MCOs will only cover older generations of medicine, Reddy said, and he has even been denied coverage for a first-generation medicine, Neosporin, an over-the-counter antiseptic costing anywhere from $2-5.
Dr. J.D. Miller, ARH's vice president of medical affairs, said the problems with the new system are making everything difficult for everyone involved in the process.
"Even if you did provide care, if they can't get their medicines and can't do the other things, they're still not going to get the kind of care they need," Miller said.
Reddy explained that he and other doctors are unable to prescribe any brand name medicine if there is a substitute or generic version available. He said most substitutes and generic versions of medicines are cheaper because the quality is much lower, and thinks the MCOs should not compromise their patient's care just to save a few dollars that could have to be spent anyway if the patient lets their condition worsen due to frustration with the system.
One out of every six patients Reddy sees, he claimed, drops out of his care because they are frustrated with wait times or non-coverage.
Miller said the new system has been causing the process of getting patients treated to slow down, so much so sometimes that patients will often not return to be treated after waiting to be pre-certified.
Miller said, "Truly, I think the name of the game is to make it harder to receive services because that costs less."
Reddy attended all of the introductory sessions with the new MCOs when it was announced the changes to the system would happen, and at each one he was told providers would be looking at very minimal changes to the way they handled Medicaid, if any at all. Now, Reddy said the organizations have not kept their promises.
He said with the previous Medicaid system, providers knew who they were talking to when they called the Medicaid office in Frankfort for assistance or pre-authorization for their patients. Now, however, the Medicaid MCOs each have their own separate call centers, which he said do not communicate with each other.
"Things were pretty clear, what we can expect, where we don't have coverage, where we have coverage, what kind of coverage we have. Today, the three managed care companies we call, we don't know whom we're talking to; these call centers could be just anywhere on the planet," Reddy said.
Reddy and Miller are members of the Medical Staff Leadership Council for the ARH hospitals. Those members from the Kentucky River area, including Reddy and Miller, came together last week and wrote and signed a letter to the editor addressing some of their concerns with the Medicaid system.
Calls seeking comment from the Medicaid managed care program in Frankfort were not returned this week, while calls made to the three MCOs, Kentucky Spirit, CoventryCares, and WellCare, were also unsuccessful.
Reddy, who suggested writing the letter, said he hopes this gives his patients the voice that they might not think they have.

"We've already taken in about $103,000 for the American Cancer Society, which is about $2,000 more than last year at this time, and we'll still be taking donations until about August," said McGalliard, a teacher at Gray Elementary School who was the chairperson for this year's event.
McGalliard and Gray Police Chief Adam Lowe estimated well more than 1,000 people attended the early portion of the event at the Jones County High School track.
"We had four main food vendors, and they all were asked to have food to feed about 250, and they all sold out, so I guess that means there were at least 1,000 people there who ate – unless some ate more than once," McGalliard said.
"It was a really good crowd between 6 and 8 before the rain picked up," added Lowe. "It was a little slim for the concert (which started at 10 p.m.), but I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Everything went well and we had no problems."
Jared Ashley, an up-and-coming country music artist, was the featured performer. Local singer Leilani Durden, who won a talent contest for the honor, and her band, Southern Persuasion, opened for him.

The England international has been strongly linked with a move to Everton, with the Toffees looking to land the midfielder on a season-long loan.
Barry has entered the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium and faces fierce competition for places.
City have invested heavily over the summer, with £30million spent on Ferdinando - a man who will be looking to fill the same position as Barry.
Pellegrini would prefer not to part with a player of Barry's considerable experience, with strength in depth vital if the Blues are to challenge for top honours.
He will, however, not be standing in the 32-year-old's way if he decides he needs to look elsewhere for regular first team football.
Pellegrini said ahead of City's opening fixture of the 2013/14 Premier League season against Newcastle United on Monday: "In the position of Gareth we have also (Jack) Rodwell, (Javi) Garcia, Fernandinho and Yaya Toure.
"I spoke with Gareth. He wants to stay here and he does not have any problems staying here to fight for his position like any other player in the squad.
"If he wants to go because he has better options, it depends on what he wants to do."

Buy several arms and lots of ammo and set aside some to cache and stash for the future. We have seen others throughout history who were told "we won't take away your guns" only to have them "registered" and later confiscated. (ie.

Keyed by a six-RBI night that inluded a walkoff grand slam by senior Kyle Garrick, the Berkeley Stags advanced to the District VIII finals with a 13-1 switch-whipping of Marlboro County Monday, May 5 at Jim Bradley Field in Moncks Corner.
The Stags have outscored their playoff opponents 22-2 in two games and will take on the losers bracket winner on Friday, May 9. They need just one win to claim their second district title in three years.
Berkeley gave Coastal Carolina prospect Connor Tate something of a rude welcome to town, scoring on the lanky righthander at will and sending his near 90-mph fastball back up the middle a little faster than it came to the plate.
We are a team that refuses to lose, especially at home, said Coach Landy Cox of his 21-3 Stags.
Berkeleys only home loss this season came during the HIT tournament, an 11-inning war with Hartsville.
Garricks sixth-inning grand slam was one of two hits for the plus-.400 hitting catcher. The drive curled inside the foul pole and landed in Lake Berkeley, far beyond the left field fence.
Garrick wasnt the only Berkeley hitter to rough up Pate.
Chase Ganey had two hits and scored twice and Dillon Salisbury got the game rolling with a run-scoring double, one of two RBIs on the night.
Josh Simmons also had a pair of big hits on the night and scored a run.
The Stags have three players hitting over .400 in Ganey (.419), Garrick (.414) and Salisbury (.400).
Simmons is inching closer to the .400 mark at .391.
Simmons and Teague are getting hot at the right time where Ganey, Garrick and Salisbury have been blistering the cover off the ball all season long.
The Stags are hitting .338 as a team and have outscored their opponents 180-32 on the season.
On the hill, Joe Glauser pitched into the fourth inning before giving way to Jeffrey Stone, who threw two-plus innings for the win to improve to 6-1 on the season.
The Stags moundstaff boasts a microscopic 0.80 ERA and have allowed just 18 earned runs.
We play simple baseball, Cox said. We hit the ball, catch the ball and throw the ball where its supposed to go.

The Stratford Lady Knights wanted to take care of business and take care of it quickly.
They did not want to leave anything to chance.
"We get in, we score, we win this game and move on," said Coach Debra Tolar as her Lady Knights wrapped up the 2014 District VII championship with a decisive 11-0 thumping of visiting Conway on May 7 on Crowfield Boulevard. "I hope their coaches understand why I bunted with a 9-0 lead. I wanted that 10th run on the board. Their team is known for their comebacks."
After pitcher Nikki Linthicum retired the Lady Tigers in order in the top of the first, Stratford got down to business in their half of the first, sending 13 hitters to the plate and erupting for eight runs.
Linthicum led off with a single and advanced to second on Kayli Miles' error to short. Kayli Lehmer drove in both Linthicum and Miles with a single to left. Jordan Prince walked and Madison Ryan was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Harmon followed with a two-RBI single up the middle to score Lehmer and Prince. Hannah Roberts singled and Megan Lindberg walked to bring Linthicum back to the plate with the bases loaded for the third time in the inning. The Lady Knights' pitcher responded with a two-RBI basehit. Miles would cap the inning, driving in the final run of the inning on a walk.
Stratford added single runs in the second, third and fourth innings to put the game away under the 10-run rule in the fifth behind Linthicum's shutout performance. Emily Harmon drove home a run in the second with an RBI single. Ryan doubled in the third, stole third and scored on a sacrifice fly to right by Lehmer. Ryan doubled in the fourth and later came home on Harmon's third hit of the night and fourth RBI.
That would be more than enough for Linthicum who scattered four hits in the championship performance.
Assistant coach Curtis Moore said the district championship game was nothing different than the way the Lady Knights approached each game and each opponent throughout the playoffs.
"We came ready to take care of business and to get the job done against each opponent we faced," he said. "This team has worked hard and prepared all season, and when they hit the field they take care of their business and move on to the next opponent."
Stratford has little time to savor the district title as the Lower State Final Four tournament begins on Saturday, May 10. The Lady Knights hit the road for the first round.
"We have our eye on the bigger prize," Tolar said. "Like in 1996, if we win it all we'll have a dog pile and I'll even join that one."

All state schools have to have an anti-bullying policy. Stonewall's research The School Report showed that where young people are told that homophobic bullying is wrong fewer pupils say they are affected by it. It is therefore important that homophobic bullying is specifically mentioned in the policy and that staff and young people are aware of that.
It is important that the senior leadership team of a school understands why homophobic bullying and language should be tackled and prevented. Speaking to the head and senior leadership team directly ensure they are aware of parents' concerns and of young people's needs.
Schools have the duty to challenge all forms of bullying including homophobic bullying. Parents and carers can help schools and teachers by sign-posting them to useful resources such as The School Report and The Teachers' Report which both include a list of recommendations for a whole school approach.
Commissioned by the Department for Education Stonewall wrote guidance on preventing and tackling homophobic bullying for head teachers, teachers and governors.
FIT is a great educational film for secondary school pupils about friendship, coming out and fitting and was sent to every maintained secondary school in Britain. Parents and carers might want to find out whether it has been shown in their child's school.
Teachers and other school staff will also find the education guides Challenging homophobic language and Supporting lesbian, gay and bisexual young people helpful.
If you feel a school does not take their duty to tackle homophobic bullying seriously or doesn't support your child, you first want to contact your child's guidance teacher and year head in secondary school. In primary school the class teacher would be your first point of call.
If you are not satisfied with their response, ask for the outline of the complaints procedure and take it to your local authority. Stonewall works with a number of local authorities through the Education Champions programme so you might want to check whether yours is a member. In case of a private school you can contact the Scottish Council of Independent Schools for more information.
If you think your school or your local authority is acting 'unreasonably' you can write to the Scottish Government Learning Directorate. This should be a last resort, and you should highlight in your communication the steps you have already taken to resolve the problem.
For more information you can also e-mail email@example.com or call the Stonewall information line on 0131 474 6197.

Before the start of this season, Jeff Lisath was faced with one of the more difficult decisions in his life.
The Portsmouth graduate and current Piketon boys basketball coach was appointed as warden of the Dayton Correctional Institute. It was a matter of how long he would keep his dedication towards coaching while driving more than 100 miles each day from work.
After 30 years of coaching on the high school and collegiate level, Lisath officially announced Thursday he will retire from coaching at the end of this season. Although the move was made during the midpoint of his ninth campaign as the Redstreaks coach, many within Piketon program were aware of the decision long before the first game.
"I told the kids and coaches prior to the season, due to my recent appointment as Warden at the Dayton Correctional Institution this would be my last season at Piketon," Lisath said in a written statement. "I really can't believe I've been doing this for 30 years. I've been blessed with great players, coaches and administrations over the years and I had the opportunity to build lifetime memories and relationships with a lot of people"
As the tournament MVP of the 1978 Portsmouth boys basketball state championship team and a two-time All-Ohio selection, Lisath went on to letter for four years on the Miami (OH) basketball team. He was a team captain and defensive player of the year for the Redskins, now known as the Redhawks. Lisath also tried out for the New Jersey Nets and the Washington Bullets.
Lisath's coaching career started in 1983 when he led the Columbus State Community College men's basketball team to a 21-4 record in his first season. He coached the Cougars for two more seasons before moving back to Portsmouth and becoming a long-time PHS boys assistant. He was on staff for the 1988 state championship team, making him one of just a few people in OHSAA history to win a state championship as a player and as an assistant coach.
In 1999, Lisath took his second head coaching job by becoming the boys basketball coach at Unioto. After three seasons with the Shermans, he took the Chillicothe girls basketball coaching position before being tapped at Piketon.
Prior to this season, Lisath had a 118-64 record with the Redstreaks which includes 2009's trip to the State Final Four, three Scioto Valley Conference and Southeast District Coach of the Year awards and is currently the school's all-time winningest coach. His overall career record after the end of last season was at 249-135. Piketon enters Friday's home contest with Chillicothe Huntington at 8-3 overall and 5-1 in the SVC, tied with Zane Trace for the conference lead.
"I appreciate the support I've received from the administration at Piketon over the past nine years," Lisath said. "They have been very supportive during the good and bad times and that's so important as a head coach to know the administration is in your corner."
As the announcement comes in January, Lisath knows the season isn't over.
"I will do my best to leave the program in good shape as we battle for another SVC Title," Lisath said. "I believe we have some great coaches on all levels that continue to work tirelessly to keep the program at a high level.
"I'm savoring every single moment of this season and will continue to push our kids to reach their maximum potential. Although we have struggled out the gate, I believe we are starting to figure it all out"
In the release, Lisath went on to thank his family for letting him pursue the career and dealing with his emotions during the wins and losses.
Lisath, who is also the founder and CEO of Jeff Lisath Basketball which focuses on camps, clinics and tournaments with ministry tied into the blueprint, said he will miss the circle prayer that his team and opponents are a part of after each game.
"That is never about victory or defeat, but to be openly thankful for the opportunity that was given to us," he said.
He did mention his intent on staying in the game itself. Plans include the continued path towards becoming a sports agent and mentoring high school, college and professional players' skill development.

Activist Post
The Pill Establishment has run out of patience with people who are given prescription drugs and don't do a good enough job of taking their pills as they are told. Last year, USA Today reported that:
Americans may waste as much as $258 billion a year by not taking prescribed medications because the missed doses lead to emergency room visits, doctors' visits and in-patient hospitalizations, according to a study by Express Scripts, an independent prescription- filling company.
..."Drugs don't work if you don't take them, and people often don't take them the way they're supposed to," said Bob Nease, chief scientist at Express Scripts.If you read that right, yes, the study was performed by a a prescription-filling company, or as we refer to them in the healthcare industry, a Pharmacy Benefits Manager. I'm sure the results of the study couldn't possibly be skewed toward desired results! Of course, these companies never look at the costs of loss productivity, in-patient hospitalizations, benefit payouts, missed work, hospital/emergency costs from overdoses, etc., due to the fact that Americans are mainlining Big Pharma's profitable and "legal" drugs. The costs always seem to appear under the column heading, "Costs of not taking drugs." Here's another quote from the USA Today story, and note carefully who says what:
People don't take their medications because they forget to refill their prescriptions, forget to take them, feel they don't need them or find them too expensive, said Edith Rosato, senior vice president of pharmacy affairs for the National Association of Chain Drug Stores.
An SVP (Senior Vice President) who pushes and lobbies for chain drug stores claims that people aren't taking enough drugs. Folks, I am not making this up. In fact, Express Scripts actually started auto-enrolling their dependent drug slaves and gave them the choice of opting out. According to the article, here are the results of the company's "legal" coercion:
Instead, they tried automatically enrolling patients for mail-order prescriptions while telling them they could opt out. Few complained; 3% did opt out and the number of people receiving their prescriptions through the mail increased from 15% to 79%.Of course, these industry-funded studies never report on the costs, let alone the deaths, of legalizing Big Pharma's coercive drug-pushing.
In 2009, drugs exceeded the amount of traffic-related deaths, killing at least 37,485 people nationwide. According to information provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the very pharmaceuticals that are prescribed to treat life-endangering conditions are now ending lives.In September, 2011, ABC News reported that:
Drugs now kill more people than motor vehicle accidents in the U.S. -- a monumental shift that reflects gains in road safety amid a troubling rise in prescription drug abuse.
Drug overdoses and brain damage linked to long-term drug abuse killed an estimated 37,485 people in 2009, the latest year for which preliminary data are available, surpassing the toll of traffic accidents by 1,201. And the number is likely to rise as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention prepares to release its official statistics in December.
..."There has been a dramatic increase in use of prescription drugs as physicians have become more liberal in prescribing them," said Paulozzi, adding that the bulk of drug-related deaths stems from accidental opioid painkiller overdoses."In response, government agents - otherwise known as elected representatives acting in your interest - push legislation friendly to the drug companies and their assorted offshoots of pharmaceutical wonder. In spite of the fact that prescription drug deaths are now at an all-time high, the pill pushers and their legalized drug runners in the medical establishment may have found a new way to keep you in a pharmaceutical coma that benefits the bottom lines of the mega-drug industry: an Orwellian, wireless implant device that will automatically feed you drugs that you neglect to take.
A thumbnail-sized microchip containing multiple drug reservoirs has now passed clinical trials in which a wireless signal was used to release precise daily doses, instead of requiring patients to inject themselves with the drug. The technology could help patients who require frequent or daily injections.
Studies have shown that many medical patients do not take their meds on schedule, especially when they are feeling good and think they no longer need them. Unfortunately, many drugs today need to be taken regularly and in precise doses in order to maintain their long-term therapeutic effect. As a result, many new technologies are being tried that prompt the patient, via email or telephone reminders, to administer the drug themselves.The idea is that a physician will send a wireless signal to a microchip implant (that stores drugs) that will allow the drugs to be automatically dispensed into one's body. Of course, this will require the services of a highly profitable middleman and agent of coercion - a medical implant communication service - to perform the drug dispensing duty. Follow the money. A Professor from MIT, Robert Langer, helped to develop the idea, and here's a quote from him:
You can deliver multiple drugs [using] remote control," said Langer. "You could literally have a pharmacy on a chip."Karen De Coster, CPA is a libertarian accounting/finance professional and freelance writer covering food freedom, regulatory abuses and free market economics.
