Pair sentenced in federal court for identity theft
A 44-year-old habitual felon who faces drug trafficking charges in Vance County was sentenced to nearly three years in federal prison Wednesday for conspiring to commit offenses against the United States.
District Judge Louise Wood Flanagan in New Bern sentenced Mark A. Davis, of 744 Parham Road, to 33 months in prison and three years supervised probation.
His girlfriend and co-defendant, LaWanda Ragland, of 217 Sarah Lane, Henderson, was sentenced Wednesday to 27 months and three years supervised probation for the same charges.
The couple was indicted by a federal grand jury with one count of conspiring to commit offenses against the United States, one count of access device fraud, one count of aggravated identity theft and 11 counts of possessing stolen mail.
From around May 2008 to January 2012, Davis and Ragland would steal mail — which included credit cards, statements for credit card and bank accounts, driver's licenses, tax information and correspondence — from residential mailboxes in order to obtain personal information, according to the federal grand jury indictment.
They then used this personal information to steal people's identities.
On Aug. 30, 2013, Davis and Ragland each pleaded guilty before Magistrate Judge William A. Webb in U.S. District Court in Raleigh to one count of conspiring to commit offenses against the United States.
Davis and Ragland were arrested in April on charges of trafficking marijuana, possessing drug paraphernalia and maintaining a dwelling for keeping controlled substances.
The Henderson Police Department and Vance County Sheriff's Office seized 52 pounds of marijuana, a marijuana grow operation, several firearms, money and drug-related paraphernalia during a search of the residence at 352 Wesley Drive, Henderson.
Ragland was released after posting $80,000 bond but did not appear at her scheduled court date on April 21.
A warrant for her arrest was issued on April 22, and she was arrested June 9.
She was jailed in Vance County on $150,000 bond. Her court date is scheduled for June 23.
Assistant District Attorney Allison Capps said the cases against Davis and Ragland are pending, and the state still intends to prosecute them.

text: This basically means that while the best weapons will require success in Arenas and Ranked BG's, PvP players will be able to get weapons upgrades via running PvP out of the gate rather than having to hope for an instance/raid drop. It also means an end to armor pieces, trinkets and other items requiring a rating to purchase, making gearing up for PvP easier. It seems likely that this change is aimed at making PvP easier to start in and taking some of the perceived need to PvE away from the PvP game.

Washington Conservation Voters Releases 2013-2014 Scorecard
Scorecard rates the Washington Legislature on their environmental votes
SEATTLE – Today, Washington Conservation Voters, the political voice for the environment, released their Scorecard for the 2013 and 2014 state legislative sessions.
Contact: Shannon Murphy, Program Director, 206-910-8776, email@example.com
SEATTLE – Today, Washington Conservation Voters, the political voice for the environment, released their Scorecard for the 2013 and 2014 state legislative sessions.
Published once every two years since 1992, Washington Conservation Voters' Scorecard is the best guide to environmental politics in Washington State. It is the clearest accountability tool showing how legislators succeeded or failed to protect the environment. It is read by thousands of voters, elected officials, and opinion leaders across the state. It not only scores the environmental voting records of individual state legislators, but also paints the picture of the past two sessions.
We had a timely and very achievable legislative agenda in 2013 and 2014 that unfortunately the Legislature did not pass - from implementing clean energy solutions, banning toxic flame retardants, and protecting our communities against oil spills. As we worked to solve these and other critical issues like climate change, we encountered some roadblocks from the Senate Majority Caucus Coalition and Big Oil lobby.
"The Scorecard highlights our need to have a conversation about
our values as a state. This past biennium an anti-environmental Senate and the Big
Oil lobby stood in the way of what Washingtonians care about – the health of
our environment, communities, and families," said Joan Crooks, CEO of
Washington Conservation Voters. "Our Scorecard gives voters a close look at who
has stood up for the environment over the last two years, who has not, and allows
us to hold those in our way accountable."
As the political voice for the environment WCV makes sure voters have the information they need, when they need it because every active participant in the democratic process makes our communities a better place. WCV will continue to work with voters and legislators on important environmental issues like climate change until real progress is made. "In the coming year, we will work to educate our elected officials and build a bipartisan commitment to healthy communities." said Clifford Traisman, State Lobbyist. "That is the only way we will be able to protect and improve the health of Washington's environment."
Scorecard includes 12 Senate votes and 8 House votes, on issues ranging from
public health protections, to clean energy standards, to land-use
protections. These votes came at a time
under the new anti-environmental Majority Caucus Coalition, which took control
of the Senate at the start of the 2013 Legislative Session. This illustrates the challenge we had in
front of us: having to spend too much time protecting against rollbacks of even
the most core environmental protections, and failing to make progress on
important issues like climate change. In the Senate, 20 senators scored over
80%, while 30 scored under 50%. In the House, 53 representatives scored over
80%, and 47 scored under 50%.
The complete WCV 2013-2014 Legislative Scorecard can be viewed online at: http://wcvoters.org/scorecard/2014.
Washington Conservation Voters is the statewide political voice for the environment. We work to elect environmentally responsible candidates to state and local offices. Working with our allies in the community, we advocate for strong environmental policies and hold our elected officials accountable both during and after the legislative session. Through our political work we are strengthening laws that safeguard the health of our communities, preserve the beauty of our state and protect our economic future.

I attended the Mice Chat night at Haunt on Sept 22nd. First off a big huge THANK YOU to Norm for putting such a fantastic event on once again. I enjoyed the backstage tour of both Trick Or Treat and Dominion Of The Dead. My husband and I were in the first group. Just walking thru Dominion Of The Dead was fascinating. The artwork really s the main attraction of this maze NOT the vampires. (more on that later). The real downer was the "no picture taking". Last year we were allowed and encouraged to take pictures and video as we walked thru Dilerium. No biggie. I loved the buffet (the turkey beat out the chicken). Loved the self serve drinks instead of waiting helping yourself was a great option. Missed the souvineer bottles as in previous years. After all it is 40th year of Haunt but found out the Prescare dinner guests don't get any either. Bad move on Knott's part. Anyways the Trick Or Treat bags were a great bonus (more on this later).
Onto the event:
Once we entered we went to go grab our Fright Lane passes. Because so many were trying to redeem theirs they ran out but after a few minutes we were handed our lanyards (no wristband like last year). Anyways they dropped the rope and off we went.
First up Evil Dead aka Log Ride: I thought it was good considering no outer sign like they had for Sleepy Hollow nor decorations either. Really good talent and I was screaming already. I really hope the talent keeps it up. 8/10
Next up we decided to hit up Pinnochio Unstrung: I totally forgot what maze was here prior. I was definitely impressed and immersed in the world of puppets. From my first steps inside until I exited the talent was superb. I really hope they keep up the great job they are doing. Especially the "cage" moment. That was brilliant. 10/10
Terror of London: the talent needs to step up their game in here. I did not like the ending (a letdown instead of a buildup). I miss 13 Axe Manor. I would love to see a new maze or else just an improvement in here. 7/10
The Hanging: every year the Hanging beats out Bill and Ted's at Universal however NOT this year. I was actually bored watching it except for the ending. Bill and Ted is much much better. 3/10
---------- Post added 09-23-2012 at 10:46 PM ----------
Continuing on
Trick Or Treat: LOVE,LOVE the maze design. I enjoyed wearing my mask and going to the stands to get the mask stamped and some 40th items. Especially the second be where we were asked to say "trick or treat" and wear our masks. The maze itself I was able to ring the doorbell and really loved how we had to yell "trick or treat" to get the door opened. The talent could have been better plus the last room we did not get the benefit of the effect in here. Disappointed to say the least. Ths maze needs more talent. 6/10
Endgames: I'm sorry but this maze does nothing for me. I had a had time finding my way due to it being very dark inside. It wasn't really scary. 4/10
Dominion of the Dead: the best part was the art work and detail even in the dark I could stare at everything and still not soak it all in. The talent was lacking. I'm sorry these were billed as "hungry blood thirsty vampires" that don't sparkle in the sun these aren't Twilight vampires. However all they did was stand around either playing musical instruments or barely move. Little to no effort on the vampires part in here. I really had wished this had been themed to Twilight instead at least would have been better. I hope the talent really really improves because it makes me miss the original. Don't mess with a good thing. 5/10
Dilerium: by far one of my favorites. I didn't care for this maze last year at all. However this year I found way more talent. They were top notch. I was definitely surprised for the better. The design is amazing. 10/10
Fallout Shelter: I really wish that this mazes goes. It's boring. 3/10
Slaughterhouse: a vast improvement over last year. Increase and great talent this year. I love the new maze layout. Definitey well done for the better. 8/10
Virus Z: i hate doing this but with Universal and The Walking Dead this year this maze just fell short. It was better last year. I was definitely confused with the Carrie theming. 4/10
Uncle BoBo's: This maze definitely needs to go. It was very short and definitely more laughs than scares. I'd love to see a new clown maze instead of the same old same old.2/10
Dia De Los Muertos: I felt this maze to fall short as well. The jungle scene was changed this year but it just wasn't enough. Ever since Universal did La Llorona last year and this year (major improvement) this maze just falls flat. This maze definitely needs to go. 2/10
Up next TRAPPED

And I second cake pops! I make them all the time the way you do... In fact I just made some two days ago and am bringing them to work tonight. I didn't even both with the lollipop sticks this time because I was out and I'm lazy... so they're just cake "bites" now. Easier to eat, anyway, since they won't fall off the stick!

[QUOTE=Radiobarry;1056873468]While he was not totally consumed by the profit motive, he certainly was not averse to it. The premise behind "that" thread is flawed because the Walt Disney of then, as best I can tell, has been greatly "romanticized" from reality. While he was interested in providing quality family entertainment, he was also interested in making money. And his brother Roy was a businessman even moreso.QUOTE]
Totally agree with everything you said, but my personal problem with that thread (assuming we're talking about the same $5 cookie thread?) is that he implies that buying a cookie for $5 makes you "rich". Additionally, "rich" also seems to be rude, mean, or wrong based on his context. The "poor, old, ugly me" theme is pretty irritating.

A sport utility vehicle slammed into an East Texas church daycare center, injuring the driver, a teacher and three children.
A police statement says the crash happened around midday Thursday at the Spring Hill First Baptist Church in Longview. Police say a 20-year-old man lost control of his SUV, veered through an open field and crashed through a utility pole before smashing into the church daycare center. About 30 children and a teacher were in the room at the time.
Libby Brison of Longview Regional Medical Center and Victoria Ashworth of Good Shepherd Medical Center said the teacher and children were treated for minor injuries and released. Ashworth said the driver was being evaluated.

LAKEPORT – Brawny and mustachioed, Francisco "Frank" Rivero strides down Main Street in this resort town, wearing his badge, gun and pine-green uniform, headed for radio station KPFZ.
It's time for another hour of "Straight Talk With the Sheriff," when Rivero takes on his critics. At any given time, they include the chairman of the Lake County Board of Supervisors, the district attorney, motorcycle gangs, an army of marijuana growers and both local newspapers.
He's been called a thug, a liar, a bully, a cowboy and the Cuban John Wayne for his swaggering brand of justice.
"I am one controversial character; I speak my mind," said Rivero. "I'm a rough character to deal with when you're screwing around. Aggressive law enforcement's taking place. We're going out, kicking down doors and taking people to jail in volume, which creates controversy."
Rivero, who started his career as a beat cop in San Francisco's Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood, shocked the Lake County establishment when he ran for sheriff in 2010 and beat 16-year incumbent Rod Mitchell. Rivero promised to clean up Lake County, which has earned a reputation as a pot-growers paradise. "If you find a more corrupt place in California I'll eat my hat," he declared.
Now the Cuban immigrant is the law in this largely white county of 64,500 residents.
"I'm a rare bird," Rivero said. "I'm probably the only immigrant elected sheriff in California."
"I don't know about that, but he may be the first convicted felon to be elected sheriff," retorted Rob Brown, the Stetson-wearing chairman of the Board of Supervisors and Rivero's chief antagonist.
Rivero, 53, acknowledges he tangled with the law as a young refugee in Miami but said he wasn't convicted of any felonies.
A maverick who walks tall and shoots from the lip, Rivero is locked in a nasty public feud over how to police this wide-open county of mountains, vineyards and hot springs that has attracted outlaws and outliers – as well as thousands of tourists from Sacramento and the Bay Area.
Rivero says he has cut more than $1 million in waste from the Sheriff's Department budget and put an end to cops who abused their power under the "good ol' boys" network he swept out of office.
"They're trying their best to get rid of me, because I'm taking it on," he said while patrolling the county on a recent weekday. "There's rednecks and Klansmen up here pissed at me. I've had death threats, and never leave the house without a gun."
His antagonists say his cavalier style has driven good cops away and needlessly put his deputies at risk.
"He's the worst thing that's ever happened to Lake County law enforcement," said Brown, 52, the bounty hunter and rancher who chairs the Board of Supervisors. "Not a single member of the deputies association supported him."
Rivero campaigned alongside District Attorney Don Anderson, who also promised to root out the old guard. But since they were elected, Anderson has conducted three investigations into Rivero's tactics. The two have clashed over a range of incidents, including Rivero's arrest of low-level pot dealers and the civil rights of motorcycle gangs.
"We've been butting heads on a lot of issues," Anderson said.
Problems rooted in pot
One such issue is the county's growing pot problem and whether Rivero has gone overboard with what some call heavy-handed tactics.
"The fact that I've taken a hard line on marijuana has generated controversy, because I've cut into the profits of people who were making a very handsome living," Rivero said.
Lake County is in some ways a throwback to California's frontier, when Black Bart, the stage-robbing poet, twice hijacked the Wells Fargo stage on the Kelseyville-Cloverdale line.
"It's the Wild West," said Brown.
He claims he tracks down about 600 bail jumpers a year: "About 99 percent of the time they came here because it's easy to hide, or their parents wanted to get them out of their hair so they bought cheap property and moved them up here from the Bay Area, L.A. and Sacramento."
Adventurers from New York, New Jersey and Mexico have come to the county to grow and sell mountains of pot under the guise of California's medical marijuana law, Rivero said.
"These are opportunistic profiteers hiding behind the veil of legality and making a fortune," Rivero said. "With cheap property and good water sources, it's the perfect storm for bootleggers."
Pot growers "have brought violence to our county from all over the U.S.," said sheriff's Sgt. Jim Samples, whose narcotics squad seized 200,000 plants last year.
Several people have been slain in recent years on the county's pot plantations. "Two members of the Misfits motorcycle gang hogtied a pot grower with barbed wire and beat him to a bloody pulp over 10 plants," Samples said.
Brown said he discovered 7,500 pot plants on his ranch, and called deputies. He believes the growers retaliated by tearing down his fences and letting his herd of 80 bison run wild on the highway.
Brown calls county law enforcement "inadequate," but he concedes that Rivero has cracked down on pot growers.
"My message was to go after the drug dealers and the gangs – no breaks – and I've kept my promise," Rivero said.
Taking a tough line
From the day he took office, Rivero has shaken things up.
Since he took over in January 2011, the average daily jail population has risen from 215 to 301, according to Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation data. The total number of security checks by Rivero and his deputies at businesses, schools and parks went from about 1,000 in 2010 to more than 7,000 in 2011, he said.
He personally rounded up and jailed four young men for selling joints to a minor. Anderson cut them loose. "It was a $3 sale," he explained.
Last summer, Rivero ordered all officers in the county to the Napa border to keep out several Hells Angels and head off a potential showdown with the Vagos motorcycle gang, which was in town.
Anderson accused him of violating the Angels' civil rights. "What he did was improper and very dangerous," Anderson said, "and violated their rights to freedom of assembly, right to travel."
Rivero's most controversial move was to to ask the FBI to reopen an investigation into the 2006 boating death of Lynn Thornton, a chief investigator with the state Department of Consumer Affairs.
Undersheriff Russell Perdock rammed his speedboat at 30 to 45 miles an hour into a sailboat, killing Thornton one pitch-black May night. Perdock was never charged. Instead, then-District Attorney Jon Hopkins prosecuted Bismark Dinius, the Sacramento man who was at the tiller of the sailboat and had a 0.12 blood-alcohol level. Dinius was acquitted.
Melinda Haag, the U.S. attorney in San Francisco, declined to reopen the case.
"There was no corruption," said Hopkins, the former DA. "It's a figment of their imagination they could sell to the voters." He described Rivero as "trigger-happy with his mouth."
But Rivero said he's been sensitive to police abuse since his father, a human rights lawyer, was jailed by the Castro regime. "He was taken away from me when I was 4, and we were reunited when I left Cuba at age 11 in 1969," he said.
Cop work and funerals
Rivero's road to Lake County sheriff began as a youth in Florida, where he said he had scrapes with the law. "I felt there was a lot of abuse of authority," he said. "They constantly harassed me for loitering, accused me of riding in a stolen car that wasn't stolen, accused me of possession of marijuana that wasn't mine."
So at 21, he went west.
After a stint as a bouncer, he entered the San Francisco Police Academy, graduating in 1984. He said he worked narcotics, then left the department in 1990 to concentrate on a funeral business, Pacific Interment Mortuary and Crematory Service, that he had started four years earlier.
He made a comfortable living off the business and still has an interest in it, but ended up in Lake County nine years ago after landing one of Clear Lake's big bass.
"I'd never even heard of Lake County," he said, but he bought a house the same day and started spending weekends in the county. He now lives in Middletown in southern Lake County with his wife and 9-year-old son.
Rivero, who's attending law school at night, has announced he won't run for re-election in 2014 because it's put too much strain on his family.
On a recent Friday, he cruised around the shimmering turquoise lake, past Indian casinos and strawberry fields. "Two years ago," he said, "you'd have seen drug dealers and drunk people up to no good, and now it's gone."
His squad car features a photo of his son holding a stuffed penguin and the inscription, "Joy and Love." He also has a picture of La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre. "She's clearing the way on the rocky seas," he said. "I go from one storm to another."
"Politics sucks, it's not good for honest people," he said. But as he cruised around Clearlake, he reconsidered. "I'm not done fighting – maybe I'll run for supervisor."

USMC Kicks Off QDR at Stimson
Yesterday Stimson's Budgeting for Foreign Affairs and Defense project hosted Major General Kenneth F. McKenzie for the Marine Corps' first public statement on the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). MajGen McKenzie began his remarks by noting the influence of budget circumstances on this QDR, and the point became thematic throughout the event. Addressing missions that form the military's "connective tissue," like cyber or special operations, McKenzie tied together many of the issues at hand:
The [QDR] model that we've talked about [today], for better or for worse, is a veiled fight for resources [among the services], and its hard then to give adequate justice, perhaps, to those things that make everything possible.
How the services relate to one another through the January 2012 strategic guidance, how those relationships are resourced, and how relationships and resources come together to form the joint force all are issues that this QDR effort clearly will face. We're excited to have kicked off the conversation, honored that MajGen McKenzie and the Marine Corps chose us as the venue to do it, and looking forward to conversations like these enriching the 2014 QDR exercise.

The existence of caste-specific pheromone trails in the two worker castes of Macrotermes bellicosus, as assumed from earlier work, was investigated in the laboratory by means of a previously developed parallel trail testing device.¶Foraging trails, i.e. trails leading to a food source, established by only minor workers were more attractive to both minor and major workers than foraging trails established by a mixed population. Foraging trails comprise information about the existence of food which can apparently be transmitted by minor workers via trail pheromones. This information is picked up only by major workers as an attractive cue for orientation. Minor workers pay no attention to such information about food. They always prefer trails established by only minor workers regardless of whether these trails lead to a food or to a soil arena. One possible hypothetical explanation for the weaker attractiveness of foraging trails established by a mixed population is that major workers may lay down a pheromone component which has an antagonistic effect on the stimulating trail laid by minor workers.¶A speculative mechanism of communicative orientation under natural circumstances is discussed on the basis of these experimental results.

New £32million school has the 'wow' factor
Posted: September 21, 2009|
Head teacher David New is very proud of the new Nailsea School
FROM the moment you walk through the doors at Nailsea's new £32 million school it has the 'wow' factor.
Staff and pupils are filled with excitement and enthusiasm at the state-of-the-art building and facilities, which they helped create.
And the question about what it looks like is such a hot topic for debate that many parents are finding it hard to wait until open evenings later in the month to have a look around.
It is the single largest building project ever undertaken by North Somerset Council, and not only finished four months ahead of schedule, but also came in on budget, leaving enough money for an all-weather sports pitch.
The eco-friendly school, which has a university feel, opened its doors at the start of the September term.
Pupils' return was staggered to minimise any teething problems, but it went even better than expected.
Head teacher David New told the Mercury how Year 13 pupils were speechless when they arrived for their induction and could only utter 'ooh', 'aah' and 'wow'.
Other pupils described it as being like a spaceship, or out of this world, but Mr New said his favourite comment was from a young pupil who said the school made her feel 'like a million dollars'.
Once through the doors pupils are met with curved corridors and multi-use open spaces in between angled classrooms with glass
An open atrium from which the arterial routes lead into the heart of, is filled with comfy chairs and trees and has the feeling of being outdoors, by sitting under a glass roof..
Each section of the building has been colour coded to stop pupils and staff getting lost, all rooms have braille on the doors and there will soon be computerised swipe cards for registration.
Even the open plan unisex toilets, which were controversial, in this and other schools, have proven a success.
Mr New says his vision for a wall of learning has been achieved and he has high hopes of turning this already good school into an outstanding one.
He said: "It has had a fantastic impact on the students.
"You can see the level of concentration, they are more independent and are enthused.
"What we wanted to do was create spaces that enhanced learning and to make pupils attitudes to learning very positive."
"All the indications from week one in the new building is we are achieving this.
"The new school does what it was designed to do, it makes students feel as if they are all grown-up and therefore they behave in a more mature manner.
"If this school doesn't raise results to more than 80 per cent of 5* A-C grades at GCSE within a couple of years nothing will."
The new building boasts a science 'super lab, unique to Nailsea School, an auditorium, with seating for 350 people, two smaller lecture theatres, a sports hall, dance studio with ballet bar and sprung floor, music recording studios and an education centre.
There is also a media cafe, serving tea and coffee throughout the day and a juice bar, proving this school has everything it needs and much more.
Natural light, solar heating, rainwater for loo flushing and bio-fuel boilers awarded the building top marks in its environmental assessment.
North Somerset Council's executive member for children and young people's services cllr Jeremy Blatchford said: "I don't think the community has yet realised what they have got.
"I think it will make a huge change to the whole of Nailsea and I think it will raise the standards from a good school to an outstanding school.
"It is very interesting to watch the way the students walk, the way they conduct themselves, it is completely different. It is far more like a university than a secondary school."
Many of the school's facilities will also be open to the community for use by sports clubs and drama groups.
The school's official opening is on Monday, October 5, but builders will be on site until March 2010.
Demolition work on the old school, which celebrated its 50th anniversary during the summer, has already begun.
Open evenings for parents to look around will be held mid October.

10 essentials: the modern buffet
You've sent an open invitation for your party—so do you really know who's coming to dinner?
For large parties, the easiest way to serve is buffet-style. Consider setting up early—even the night before so your day can be spent cleaning, cooking and getting dressed up without sweating the small, last minute stuff.
Following are 10 essentials for the modern buffet.
1. Create a festive mood with cylinder vases filled with Christmas ornaments in fresh colors.
2. Keep the setting clean and modern with stacks of white square dinnerware.
3. Sleek marta barware is perfect for any cocktail, soda, juice or wine.
4. Scatter tealights for the warm glow of candlelight.
5. Have plenty of party flatware for each guest—and each course so you can be mingling instead of washing spoons for dessert.
6. White restaurant napkins are made for hungry crowds.
7. Water in beaker glass pitchers. Be sure they're never empty since everyone's drinking more of it.
8. Shadow white porcelain serving bowls for pasta or green salads.
9. An oversized aluminum tray to serve cheese, fruits or breads.
10. Two corkscrews and plenty of your favorite wines. Open a few bottle early to let wine breath before pouring.
They're all inexpensive—even in multiples. Isn't that something to celebrate?
hint: Have plenty of everything so unexpected guests feel welcome.

Collins leading Warriors' resurgence
Weddington put forth one of its best offensive displays in years in last week's three-game series against Sun Valley, and junior Sean Collins was in the middle of it all.
Collins belted a game-winning grand slam in Tuesday's 11-7, 10-inning Warriors win, turning on the first pitch of his at-bat and setting off a raucous dugout celebration.
"It was unbelievable," Collins said of his game-winner. "I didn't even know what to think. I was thinking fastball, and he threw it belt high right down the middle. It put a lot of confidence in us."
Apparently. Collins followed that up by hitting two home runs in the same inning in Thursday's 19-2 Warriors win. One of those home runs was yet another grand slam.
Combine those efforts with Weddington's 12-0 win Wednesday, and the Warriors scored 42 runs in three games and hit eight home runs — three from Collins, two from Chris Simpson and one each from Alex Bostic, Landon Kay and Jeff Welch. Bostic now has three homers on the year.
"We definitely struggled at beginning of the season, but it's coming together quickly," Collins said.
Weddington also got impressive outings from pitchers Josh Islam and Paul Brocklebank, who started and earned wins Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. It was a showcase of depth for the Warriors, who are still waiting for starters Bostic and Collins to return to the mound, along with closer Jeremy Schellhorn.
"We're not worried," Collin said. "Especially if we keep swinging it like we are. The pitchers are all doing fine."
Scout report
Parkwood's program is comprised mainly of underclassmen. As evidenced by the top of its lineup in the Southern Carolina Conference-opening series against Marvin Ridge, the Rebels are counting on some of them to produce on the varsity team right away.
The Rebels have a pair of underclassmen at the top of their lineup in freshman leadoff batter Scout McFalls and sophomore infielder Jeremy Parker.
McFalls is one of two freshmen on the varsity team (JT Dunn is the other), and he looked the part of a player who can contribute despite an 0-for-3 effort Wednesday. McFalls showed a unique blend of power and speed, driving a third-inning pitch to the wall in center field in what at first looked like a home run, then attempting to bunt to get on base in the sixth inning and nearly beating out the throw.
"Scout has some of the best baseball instincts that we have," Parkwood coach Andrew Starnes said. "He's quick, he's got a good swing. He finds a way to get on base, and he's still young and learning."
Around the league
Three teams are tied for first in the SCC following the first wave of three-game series.
Those three teams — Marvin Ridge, Weddington and Porter Ridge — could conceivably be in the same position after this week's games, too, after the Mavericks play Sun Valley (2-6, 0-3), the Warriors play Anson County (0-8, 0-3) and the Pirates play Parkwood (1-5, 0-3).
• Marvin Ridge shortstop Derek Smith had multiple hits in every game against Parkwood last week, raising his average to .364. … Mavericks pitcher Jake Sagmoe has a spotless 0.00 ERA in 11 innings pitched, the second most on the team behind Zach Kuchmaner (19.2 innings pitched, 1.07 ERA). Sagmoe started and earned the win Friday against Parkwood, pitching five innings. … Marvin Ridge coach Mark Mennitt said he expects sophomore left-hander Max Wotell to make his scheduled start on Wednesday. Wotell did not start last week, but picked up an inning of relief work.
• The Pirates have already surpassed last season's SCC win total after beating up on the Bearcats. Porter Ridge outscored Anson County 35-4, and plated 13 runs in the final two games. Junior Jerrick Robbins had two multi-hit games, including Friday's 2-for-3 effort that included a double, a triple and two RBIs.
• Weddington's 19-run effort in Thursday's win against Sun Valley is more runs than Anson County has scored all year. The Bearcats have scored 17 runs in eight games and have lost five games by at least 10 runs.
"Playing Anson, you never want to take them too lightly, because you never know what could happen," Collins said. "But you also have to know you're a better team and shouldn't have a problem winning."

Gay adults will remain barred from serving as Scout leaders.
The proposal was put before the roughly 1,400 voting members of the BSA's National Council at a meeting in Grapevine, Texas.
"We have been told by many parents that if the policy is changed that they will remove their children from Scouting. I hope this is not the case," said Legare Clement, Scout executive for the Coastal Carolina Council.
The Coastal Carolina Council has 8,500 Scouts in Berkeley, Charleston, Dorchester, Allendale, Beaufort, Colleton, Georgetown, Hampton and Jasper coutnies.
Nine of the voting delegates are members of the Coastal Carolina Council's Board of Directors.
Scouting represents approximately 2.6 million youth and 1 million adult members across the nation, with diverse beliefs about a number of important issues.

Mother, Judson ISD debate whether boy was bullied
Mother blames bully for son's injuries; Judson ISD claims injuries result of horseplay
SAN ANTONIO - Newly released surveillance video is at the center of a debate between a Judson ISD parent and the district. The video shows students interacting together in the hallway moments before a 15-year-old freshman was injured in campus restroom.
According to the boy's mother, Mary Ross, a bully stuck her son in a restroom trash can on Nov. 2, cutting his leg. The cut turned into a staph infection, which required surgery on Sunday.
"My son has been bullied," said Ross. "It's not the first time my son has been bullied. He was stabbed by a pen a couple of years ago, three times on his chest. I pressed charges. So something needs to be done concerning all these bully incidents."
Steve Linscomb, spokesman for Judson ISD, said the incident in question is no more than horseplay.
"What we've determined is that this is a case of horseplay that started out in the hallway, and was carried over into the bathroom area," said Linscomb. "There was no animosity. There was not any maliciousness going on. It was basically kids that were horse playing in the bathroom and somebody got hurt."
Linscomb said the determination was made after studying the surveillance video and interviewing students. Linscomb also said the injured student asked another boy to pick him up, when he was dropped and cut his leg.
At this point, Linscomb said the the district has no plans to reprimand the students involved, as they believe no evidence of wrongdoing was found.

Reese Attorney-Miner L. l-lartmann ABSTRACT: A disposable colorimetric indicator and sampling device for liquids is formed by embossing a synthetic plastic sheet with a syringelilte cavity and closing the cavity by adhering a plane synthetic plastic sheet over the cavity, the two sheets being either heat sealed or adhesively joined together on the margins around the cavity, the cavity having a tubular portion one end of which opens at the edge of the adhered sheets, and the other end of the cavity being enlarged to form a finger compressible enlargement. A coating of a colorimetric indicator composition, soluble in or reactive with the liquid to be tested, is provided, the liquid being drawn into the tubular cavity by first compressing the enlargement, and releasing the pressure to draw in a liquid sample to react with the colorimetric indicator coating.
PATENTEDMJv 15 197i N [/5 N 70 WARD BENJAMIN DA ws DISPOSABLE COLORIMETRIC INDICATOR AND SAMPLING DEVICE FOR LIQUIDS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a simple portable disposable indicator and sampling device by which a sample of an aqueous liquid may be withdrawn from a larger quantity, and tested colorimetrically either qualitatively or semiquantitively for a selected constituent, for examples, for hydrogen ion concentration of a water solution, or for the presence of free chlorine in the water in a swimming pool, or for ascertaining the presence of other chemically detectable ingredients. The device includes not only chemical reagent for detection of the desired ingredient, but also the reaction vessel and the means for filling it with a liquid sample. At least one facet of the device adjacent the tubular cavity is transparent.
One object of the invention is to provide inexpensive formed plastic disposable indicators for making semiquantitive analyses of liquids. Another object is to provide means for withdrawing a sample of liquid in a formed syringelike device which also contains a colorimetric reagent. A further object is to provide a syringelike indicator device consisting of a plane plastic backing sheet adhered to an embossed plastic sheet, wherein the embossed figure is a tubular cavity with a closed compressible end portion and an opening at the edge of the device.
These and other objects are attained by my invention, which will be understood from the following description, reference being made to the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an enlarged plan view of a preferred form of the indicator device;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view similar to FIG. 4 of an alternative form of my device;
FIG. 6 is a plan view of a second alternative form of my device; and
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line 7-7 of FIG. 6.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the drawings, particularly FIGS. 1 to 4, the indicator device 10 consists of a plane backing sheet 11 of elongated shape such as a trapezoid sr rectangle, and an embossed sheeted front member 12, both of synthetic plastic composition, for example, polyvinyl chloride. At least the from sheet is deformable. The front sheet is preformed in the center portion longitudinally with a half-tubular cavity 13 terminating at the lower edge and a half-bulb cavity 14 connected to said tubular part near the upper edge of the front sheet. The front sheet 12 and the back sheet 11 are heat sealed, or alternatively adhesively joined together in the margins around the cavities so that a tubular portion terminating in a halfor part-bulb are formed, the tubular portion opening in the lower edge of the device at 15. Prior to the assembly of the parts, a stripe 16 of a selector indicator composition is imprinted by flexographic printing, on the backing sheet 11 at a position coinciding with the subsequent position of the tube.
The indicator devices are manufactured in multiples from large sheets, and subsequently are die-cut into the final individual indicators. The back sheet is printed, flexographically, with properly spaced indicator stripes, and the front sheet is embossed or heat formed with a plurality of connected tube and bulb impressions, and the large sheets are surface joined in aligned superimposition.
As shown in FIG. 5, an opaque sheet 17 may be attached to the transparent backing sheet 11, or the backing sheet may be formed of a white plastic composition to provide a white comparison background for the indicator-produced color in the liquid within the tube.
In the alternative form shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, no enlargement or bulb is provided, and the upper portion of the tubular portion may be compressed and released in the same manner as in the preferred bulb type above described.
The preferred material for making the indicator device is sheeted polyvinyl chloride plastic, but other sheeted materials having similar properties may be used, for one example polystyrene. The sheet thickness may be varied, but in the range of 6 to 10 mils is satisfactory. The tube opening may be about one thirty-second to one-sixteenth inch by about onequarter inch wide. The dimensions given are illustrative and are not critical.
The indicator stripe or coating is preferably printed at the proper location on the backing sheet by flexographic printing using fiexographic-type ink. One such composition for use in detection of hydrogen ion concentration consisted of the following essential ingredients in the approximate proportions, which are not critical:
Methanol 8 parts by weight 2-ethoxyethanol 2 parts by weight Phenol red dye 0.1 to 0.5 parts by weight I claim:
1. A disposable colorimetric indicator and sampling device for liquids, comprising a syringelike body formed with sheets of synthetic plastic, and having a tubular cavity with one end open, at least one face of said tubular cavity being transparent and a colorimetric indicator reagent combined in said cavity.
2. The device defined in claim 1 in which said body comprises plane backing sheet of plastic adhered to the plane margins around a figure embossed in a sheet of plastic, said figure consisting of a tubular cavity having an enlargement closing one end thereof, the open end of said tubular cavity being at one edge of said embossed sheet.
3. The device defined in claim 1 in which the said tubular cavity has a coating over at least part of its inside wall, said coating comprising an indicator reagent soluble in the liquid to be tested.
4. The device defined in claim 2 in which the said tubular cavity has a coating over at least part of its inside wall, said coating comprising an indicator reagent soluble in the liquid to be tested.
5. The device defined in claim 4 in which said partial coating on said tubular cavity wall is a stripe of fiexographic ink comprising a colorimetric pI-I indicator.
6. The device claimed in claim 4 in which said partial coating on said tubular cavity wall is a stripe of flexographic ink comprising a free chlorine indicator.

Proton to produce 500,000 cars annually within 5 years
It is such a huge numbers. National carmaker, Proton Holdings Bhd has target to produce 500,000 unit annually in 5 years. Their parent DRB-Hicom managing director, Datuk Seri Mohd Khamil Jamil said
"Moving forward, it is going to be challenging, and it will be difficult. Competition is going to get harder and tougher, cost will be higher and this also applies to Proton,
This number is quite high because currently, Proton just manufacturers about 150,000 units of cars annually. Proton was looking to build that volume from the export market. According to Mohd Khamil, there must be a concerted plan for the export of vehicles as the numbers currently were disappointing with Proton distributing cars to 55 countries but just with a volume of 20,000.
Proton will be focus on Australia due to the positive prospects of selling Proton cars there. For local market, Proton also look into opportunities to seek representation in all the car segments that were available in Malaysia. Khamil also revealed that the Lotus five year five car plan was actually scrapped even before DRB-Hicom acquired the national carmaker. On Lotus, Proton was currently talking to the consortium of bankers to release the remainder of the £270mil syndicated loan given to the UK-based carmaker.
Proton had invested about £100mil in Lotus and more activities to be done to increase the presence of the Lotus brand in Malaysia. There would be a few models to excite the market and there would not be any capacity expansion for now.

Sandhills and history
Sisters Rita, Barbara and Maureen standing outside the convent in Botany
Marilyn Rodrigues
When the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart move from their convent at Botany at the end of the year they will be ending 148 years of the congregations presence in the area.
When the sisters first moved to Botany in 1855 to teach the local children their neighbours were mostly tanneries.
Those sisters were the first Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart to settle in Australia from France, where the congregation was founded.
Each morning they would walk over the sandhills to St Bernards School, returning to the convent at the end of the teaching day.
As the area became more developed, the sisters moved to their current residence in Edwards St in 1954.
The primary school and church were relocated to Ramsgate St because they were under the Sydney airport flight path.
The last religious principal left the school in 1993 and since that time it has been staffed entirely by lay people.
The three remaining sisters in the convent Srs Rita, Barbara and Maureen were guests of honour at a farewell Mass celebrated at St Bernards by Bishop David Cremin.
The parish priest at St Bernards, Fr Joseph Aikkaramattam, says: The sisters have always been very committed to the parish all these years and they are always available for any ministry in the parish.
Its a great plus to have them present in the congregation during Mass.
They are much loved here and we will miss them very much.

Apple begins selling Nest thermostat
There were several rumors last week that Apple was planning to sell the Nest thermostat in online and retail stores. The online Apple store went down not too long ago, sparking excitement as to what we might see, and it turns out that the Nest is indeed the culprit. The unit has been notoriously difficult to track down in retail stores in the past, so hopefully the inclusion in Cupertino's glass sanctuaries will make it somewhat easier.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 17, 2004 Operation Carry the Flame, a national ride across America to honor the armed forces and veterans and to remember prisoners of war and service members missing in action, is slated to kick off May 18 in Modesto, Calif.
Hundreds of motorcycles and other vehicles are expected to accompany a ceremonial torch during the annual cross-country trip, sponsored by Rolling Thunder, Inc., a nonprofit veterans organization.
The final destination is Washington, D.C., where participants will join in Memorial Day activities planned for the May 28 to 31 weekend. The major Rolling Thunder event, on May 30, will include a ride to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a speakers program and a concert.
Artie Muller, Rolling Thunder's national president, said Operation Carry the Flame helps increase awareness about POWs and MIAs while honoring those who serve as well as the nation's veterans.
The torch honors the Blue Star Mothers of America, mothers of those serving on active duty, and the Gold Star Mothers of America, who have lost a son or daughter in service of their country, he said.

HIV Prevention Among Drug Users:
Community Attitudes and Beliefs
Drug use is generally viewed as bad for individuals and for society. Over the last 20 years, criminal penalties for the sale and possession of drugs have increased as part of what political leaders refer to as the "war on drugs." The growing intolerance of drug use and fear of drug users have been accompanied by an increasingly heated debate about programs that provide treatment and other health care services for drug users. The approaches taken with HIV prevention activities are often a central element of that debate.
People may agree that there is a need for HIV prevention activities, but disagree about their goals and methods. They also may disagree about who should have the final authority in choosing which prevention methods to use. The core of most debate about prevention methods is whether an "abstinence-based approach" or a "risk-reduction approach" is most effective.
Abstinence-based approaches to HIV prevention stress methods such as admission to a drug treatment program to help individuals. Abstinence-based approaches oppose interventions such as bleach distribution, syringe exchange, and increasing access to over-the-counter sale of syringes, since these methods are not directly linked to stopping drug use and may appear to encourage drug use.
Risk reduction (also referred to as "harm reduction") approaches emphasize that most drug users are unable or unwilling to stop drug use immediately and completely; that there are limited drug treatment program "slots" available; that many drug users cannot stop drug use even when they are enrolled in drug treatment programs; and that many of the drug users who are able to stop using drugs may relapse. Risk reduction approaches emphasize a variety of interventions with drug users, particularly those who continue to use. These interventions include providing access to sterile syringes through over-the-counter sale from pharmacies and syringe exchange programs; stressing never sharing syringes, water, or drug preparation equipment; emphasizing bleach disinfection for drug users who do not have sterile syringes; providing alcohol swabs to clean injection sites to reduce the occurrence of abscesses; and offering hepatitis B and other vaccinations to active drug users.
Views on the best approaches to deal with HIV prevention among IDUs vary dramatically at both the community and national level. Case Example 4.1 highlights some viewpoints on the appropriateness of HIV prevention activities.
The Importance of Community Attitudes Regarding HIV Prevention Interventions
The HIV epidemic has had a disproportionate impact on certain communities, particularly minority communities. In some communities, such as youth, the rapidly growing impact of HIV infection portends an important future public health concern. A broad range of HIV prevention efforts have been launched to respond to this situation, and communities have differed in their reactions. Even within communities, opinions and support can vary widely. For example, some African American leaders believe that HIV has been deliberately introduced into the African American community as a form of racial genocide and are suspicious of government prevention efforts (Thomas et al., 1993). At the same time, others support a full range of HIV prevention measures. This section of PART 4 provides two examples of differing attitudes toward HIV prevention efforts. They illustrate for prevention planners and program managers the fundamental importance of understanding the community's attitudes toward HIV prevention if successful interventions are to be implemented.
A study on syringe exchange in the U.S. and Canada conducted by the Institute for Health Policy Studies at the University of California, San Francisco, identified four major reasons for opposition expressed by African Americans to HIV risk reduction programs: (1) failure to provide adequate drug treatment; (2) failure by advocates of syringe exchange programs to meet with community leaders; (3) lack of recognition by those who advocate syringe exchange of the negative effects of the existing drug market and of drug use on communities of color; and (4) failure to explain how syringe exchange can help, in the long term, to curb the impact of drug use (Lurie et al., 1993).
In spite of skepticism expressed by some African American leaders, many others support a full range of HIV prevention measures. For instance, African American mayors in New York, Baltimore, New Haven, and Washington, DC, have publicly expressed their support for HIV risk reduction programs that incorporate access to sterile injection equipment (Lurie et al., 1993). Joining in this support for HIV risk reduction efforts are a number of African American-operated HIV prevention agencies, including, for example, the Black Coalition on AIDS in San Francisco. Some religious leaders who initially supported only abstinence-oriented interventions have changed their position in the face of the ever-increasing number of people of color affected by HIV.
The second illustration shows the importance of community attitudes regarding HIV prevention programs for adolescents. Investigators now report that the average age of those diagnosed with AIDS has declined each year, and that an increasing number of adolescents are becoming infected with HIV (Rosenberg, 1994). Comprehensive studies have also made it clear that drug use plays an important role in HIV infection among adolescents. In fact, 23 percent of all cases of adolescents diagnosed with AIDS are directly attributable to injection drug use or to sex with individuals who inject drugs (CDC, 1995). NIDA's Monitoring the Future survey, an annual study of the prevalence of drug use among U.S. adolescents, indicates that drug use among 8th, 10th, and 12th graders increased in 1994, continuing the growth seen in 1993. Although the sharpest rises in drug use were for marijuana, other substances, such as cocaine, showed significant increases as well (Johnson et al., 1995).
The debate over what is an appropriate approach to HIV prevention among adolescents is heated. Community support for or opposition to educational programs about human sexuality and about drugs can be a critical element in the success or failure of an HIV prevention intervention. Case Example 4.2 illustrates the power of community opposition.
In other communities, however, parents and school officials have expressed strong support for a comprehensive approach to sex education for youth that includes equipping young people with knowledge and decision-making skills. In some communities, this includes support for efforts to make condoms available through school-based, school-wide, or district-wide health programs. Table 4.1 lists a number of cities where condoms are now available through school-based programs.
In addition to understanding community attitudes toward HIV prevention programs for adolescents, prevention planners and program managers need to have a thorough knowledge of the laws and regulations regarding HIV prevention activities for adolescents. These include the need for parental consent to administer medical care to minors except for those deemed "emancipated" by the courts. These youth have been legally released from the supervision of their parents. However, in every state there are now laws that permit minors to give their own consent for certain health services, which may include those related to STDs and other infectious diseases. Those states that consider HIV or AIDS either an infectious or sexually transmitted disease often permit adolescents to provide their own consent for receiving HIV prevention counseling and testing.

Black and Tan
March 7, 2013
Made with traditional Guinness Draught and Harp Lager, when made right the Black and Tan forms two distinct layers in the glass. The secret to making a great Black and Tan is the "Black and Tan spoon" and the proper pouring technique. Follow our simple steps for the perfect pour!
Step 1:
Pour a pale ale, like Harp Lager, into a pint glass, filling the glass halfway. Whether the glass is half full or half empty at this point … well, that's your call.
Step 2:
Float the Guinness on top to fill the glass by slowly pouring it over the back of a teaspoon. Place the spoon down in the glass just above the lager (it may help to bend the spoon so it fits down in the glass). As your pour the Guinness, slowly raise the spoon until the glass is full.
Step 3:
Remove the spoon; two distinct layers will appear in the glass. Enjoy!
