It's nice to see Seth get this kind of recognition.
First time I saw him perform, he was still in high school and singing the National Anthem at the Chesterfield Fourth of July parade. It's been fun to track his career since then. He's the perfect example of what you can achieve when you're willing to put all of your effort into your music.
Often, no. Reporters have a green light to post stories in a breaking news situation -- especially, as was the case here, if all of the editors are tied up in a training session.

We're trying to get more information on that angle. George Graham is up at the arraignment, so hopefully those proceedings will shed some light on the charge.
When I wrote up one of these stories last year, I was also unable to get names / charges over the phone. The only way to get that info. was to show up at the barracks and thumb through the book. I was tied up that day but, as I remember, I was able to get another reporter to shoot over there and take the notes we needed.
Luckily, though, that was a Springfield checkpoint, so the barracks were close by. Frankly, after all the effort we expended that day in trying to get the names, I think Conor made the right call here in not sucking up a chunk of his shift driving up to Northampton to look at their log book.
It's not a perfect situation, and it's certainly not the way we'd like to do things, but it's the way things work when we're posting stories 24/7.
I was unable to get booking photos that day, too; MSP typically doesn't release them unless it's a major crime.
I've been wanting to try Brick Wall Burger but I haven't made it there yet.
I'm a big Local Burger fan; Dirty Truth also makes a good burger when I'm going the burger-and-beer route.
I like Riff's in Easthampton a lot. And, I just hit up the White Hut the other day -- that place is classic.
This is going to be a good contest.
PeTaters -
Sorry; wrote a reply earlier, got an error message when I posted, and then got sucked into meeting purgatory.
Nature of offense isn't a factor -- frankly, we have to make the publish-the-address practice a blanket policy to ensure we're being fair.
You're correct on minors, though. Information about juvenile suspects is not public record, and names / other info. is only published / released in extreme cases.
In the case of reporting on arrests, it's standard practice to publish addresses, ages if possible, and middle initials, for a pretty simple reason: we need to be specific to avoid confusion among people who share the same name.
If John A. Doe, 29, of 343 Apple Street in Anytown gets arrested for trafficking cocaine, you can bet that Jon Z. Doe, 68, of 542 Orange Street in Anytown doesn't want to see an article that says only "Jon Doe of Anytown was arrested Monday for trafficking cocaine."
Also, it's important to remember that all of this information is public record -- it's available to anyone who wants to look it up, regardless of whether we publish it or not.
If you see a story about an arrest that doesn't include at least an address, it's because either a) we received incomplete information from the police department or b) we screwed up.
I'm not sure a watch would help, Ray.
If you wake up late, put on your clothes, and *then* take your credit card to the liquor store, you're almost guaranteed to be late for a gig.
My advice: Buy a better alarm clock, to solve the waking-up-late problem; lay out / iron clothes the night before, to trim the amount of time it takes to get out the door; skip the trip to the liquor store, or at least bring only a small amount of cash, in order to limit your total purchase.
I'd also recommend buying just a few large bottles of alcohol instead of so many small bottles -- remember, each separate item the clerk has to ring up adds to the overall time it takes to make a purchase. Furthermore, it helps to make a shopping list ahead of time: indecision = a lot of wasted time!!!
Just to clarify, for anyone who might be confused by some of the incorrect numbers being thrown around here:
- Holyoke's 2010 population was 39,880
- Holyoke had 23,870 registered voters for the Nov. 8 election
- 9,013 people voted in the Nov. 8 election, representing a turnout of 37.76%
- Morse won 5,121 votes in the Nov. 8 election -- that represents 21.4% of the total registered voters and 12.8% of the city's total population.
So, to recap: Holyoke's voter turnout was not less than 20% (it was close to 40%), and Morse's vote total accounts for over 10% of the population -- and that's the total population, including those too young to vote.
Sources: U.S. Census Bureau (population); Holyoke City Clerk (voter registration / election data)
I know, I know.
Precinct 7A is the real trouble spot. If only we could annex some of Easthampton.
Last Sunday at 12:17 p.m. I began this live blog with a simple post: "Springfield and Chicopee schools are closed Monday."
I had no idea what I had started.
In the eight days that followed, my colleagues and I worked day and night to provide thousands of updates. We watched as tens of thousands of readers accessed the posts containing the live blog console.
But here's the number that is most important to me: In that time, we also published over 4,200 of your comments and questions.
That number -- an average of over 500 comments and questions per day -- is staggering. It represents just how fully involved you were in telling this story, whether by asking the questions that guided our coverage or by sharing direct knowledge and observations with each other.
Technology can't replace real-world communities and neighborhoods, but when used well it can augment them.
I think we achieved that here this week.
We saw residents inspired to reach out to their neighbors to form emergency committees.
We saw people empowered to seek access to press conferences and meetings of government officials.
We saw people ask their elected officials to do better.
We saw kind many words and deeds in times of intense need.
We saw readers volunteer their time to keep this effort going when I couldn't be there.
We saw thousands of people come together to produce more detailed information than any newsroom could've hoped to produce at a time like this.
As a journalist, these are the kinds of actions you always hope you can encourage among your readers.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing me that this hope can come true.

I think Western Mass P&I often produces some good commentary.
But I do hope you appreciate the irony in cherry picking one of the thousands of stories on MassLive.com to post a comment accusing us of not being able to produce a news story, and then linking to a Western Mass P&I post that cites Peter Goonan's reporting.
Good one!

Thanks for your thoughts. And, I do agree that your criticism is valid.
I really, really don't want to sound "WMECOish" in that explanation, but it's also all true. My main point here is that I don't want readers to think there's any kind of conspiracy, or that any of these decisions had even the slightest twinge of politics to them. That's not the case at all.
It is interesting, though -- one thing I wanted to do with this was to include some of the towns that people sometimes accuse us of missing / ignoring when it appears that we focus on Springfield exclusively.
Thanks again for taking the time to write.

Thanks; I'm looking at it on the back-end and didn't realize it wasn't looking so good on the front-end! I'll try to make some fixes there...
I'll try to pop this into one of the front-page modules, too, to make it easier to find.

I've explained my writing process as well as I can.
The interview with Springfield resident John Bartenstein that I published levels plenty of criticism with the city of Springfield's communications this week. I chose to publish that as supplemental material even though I could've just filed my story for print and called it a day. I don't think that gives the mayor a "free ride."
Also note that I didn't touch on Northampton, where there's also an election, and that I only very briefly touched on Holyoke (where I live) in a sidebar.
It was a matter of space, time, and constructing a solid, coherent analysis that guided all of my decisions.

I had to make some tough choices in order to give my editor a draft that we could actually fit into the newspaper.
I wanted to write several extra paragraphs about Springfield, but I'll be totally honest -- with running the live blog all week I had to write this article in a little sliver of time I had at home and then finish it back at the office, while I was trying to keep the live updates going. I gave it all I could, but I simply ran out of time to write up what I had on Springfield.
That's why I chose to publish my entire interview with Springfield resident John Bartenstein, which I very clearly linked to at the end of this article.
Thanks for asking -- I know it probably seemed like an omission, but please remember that there are over 60 cities / towns in our coverage area and I simply had to leave some out in order to present a coherent analysis.

While I won't attempt to speak for other mainstream media outlets, I can say that I'm on my 8th consecutive day of providing our readers live coverage of the recovery efforts.
To suggest that we "forgot to cover" the storm is absurd.
I disagree with your premise here. It IS the mayor's job to keep residents informed of what's happening in the community. The media play a very important role here, but modern technology allows officials to communicate directly with residents.
And, it's important to remember that members of the media get their information from mayors / local officials in the first place. Local officials who posted to social media sites / kept municipal websites updated during this emergency made it far more efficient for members of the media to gather and broadcast information.
Thanks for reading.
- Greg
For anyone who can't access that link to Bissonnette's Facebook page, I just went back and retrieved storm-related postings going back to 4:32 p.m. Wednesday. It is worth noting that he was posting more frequently earlier in the week when the outage was at its peak.
- Cleanup is beginning. City crews today. We have a FEMA certified company starting Monday to focus on debris removal so our regular trash collections and road/water repairs will continue. Also trying to button up all 21 .road/sewer projects for season.
-Halloween Trick or Treating is tonight but please exercise great caution. Many branches and limbs are down. Do not go near any type of power line that are down.
- Congratulations to Chicopee Electric Light, their general manager Jeff Cady and everyone from the folks answering the phones to the guys stringing new power lines for a job well done. The City of Chicopee is proud to have a well run, cost effective and customer-responsive municipal utility. We appreciate their hard work and dedication in this time of crisis.
- CEL has less than 50 connections to complete this morning. Those who lost their meter connections need to have an electrician reconnect the home service and CEL will reconnect to the electric pole. All claims for damage (including any spoiled food) should be directed to your insurance agents. We will be announcing cleanup details later this morning.
FEMA will have a preliminary damage assessment team here on Tuesday to review the amount of public damage and resources used as a result of the snowstorm power outages. I am hopefeul that this will lead to the reimbursement of some of the very expensive costs incurred for power restoration and the ongoing cleanup. Our DPW crews will be working Saturday on debris removal and street clearing. Tomorrow we will meet with an outside firm to discuss a systematic cleanup in each section of the community in order to make as much progress as possible before the real winter weather gets here.
- CEL reports around 200 folks still need repairs to get power back. Around 60 on list who lost their service at the house and need to be connected back to system will begin to receive connections tonight (these need to have their own electrician do the home service reconnection and then CEL will wire it back to the pole for service). CEL going street-by-street to review tree/branch and connection issues in each section of the city. We hope to have the cleanup collection schedule in the morning but may start as soon as Saturday to take advantage of the weather.
- CEL continuing to connect remaining homes as we begin the cleanup. Please bring branches/limbs to the edge of property (do not put them in the roadway please) and we will be having collections throughout the city over the next two weeks. It is a huge project and the emergency declaration did not include reimbursement from the federal govt. We will be seeking a 75% federal reimbursement for all costs incurred as a result of this storm and power outage.

- The shelter at CHS is now closed. Library remains open until 9 tonight. Thank you to the Red Cross, our volunteers, the Medical Reserve Corps organized thru the Chicopee Health Dept and Emergency Manager Ken Ritchott. Great job taking care of folks (slept 173 one night).
- Can folks update me on where there is still no power ? Progress is slow with the last groups of problems because they are the most difficult to resolve but there is progress being made. We are also reviewing where there are issues with trees/branches/obstacles on roads and sidewalks so let me know about those in your neighborhood too.
aba -
Thanks for asking.
The link you've provided is the same that I included in the story. By my count, there are 3 storm-related posts from the mayor on the page that loads when you click the link, all from today. If you keep scrolling down, you'll see a link for "Older Posts" -- if you keep clicking that, you'll keep loading posts from earlier in the week.
Technical note -- if you're not already logged into Facebook, that link probably won't work. And as someone else pointed out, you do have to be friends with Bissonnette in order to see his wall. I asked him about that setting -- he said at one point he changed the setting from totally public to a "friends only" view. I asked him why; he didn't remember. He did say that he accepts basically every request he gets.
Side note: I see that that Agawam Mayor has accessed his Facebook account and has deleted all of the posts that I cite in this article.
Sorry for any confusion re: the Chicopee posts.
- Greg

I've honestly appreciated your comments and criticism of our Chicopee coverage, but I also know that I'm not going to sway you here.
I'll leave it up to our readers -- many of whom followed both Mayor Bissonnette's Facebook updates and all of my work this week -- to determine who's telling the truth here.

Negril fishing - you and your family
Among the many activities you can try on your Negril Jamaica vacation there is Negril Jamaica fishing. There are many Negril Jamaica fishing destinations, and every one of them has its specific appeal.
You can try Negril Jamaica fishing by yourself or organize a competition with your friends and family. See who catches the biggest fish!
For the fisherman, a Negril Jamaica fishing vacation conjures up the image of diverse fishing experiences in beautiful settings. You can try Negril Jamaica fishing in the shallow water. Or you can rent a boat and try to fish the creatures of the depths.
Negril fishing vacation
Great weather and a relaxed atmosphere are all part of a Negril Jamaica fishing vacation. It is an event you'll have fond memories of for the rest of your life.
You can easily find specialized shops in the area where you can buy or rent the necessary equipment for your Negril Jamaica fishing trip and find tips on popular fishing grounds.
Negril Jamaica fishing methods vary according to the area being fished, the species being targeted, the personal strategies of the angler, and the resources available, ranging from the aristocratic art of fly fishing to the high-tech methods.
Fishing in Negril Jamaica makes for perfect bone fishing !
The waters around Negril are pretty well fished and so you wouldn't be the first guest to return empty handed after a half day of fishing but perhaps that is the challenge! Try your luck at catching Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and Tuna. The boat, a 32-foot Luhrs, carries up to 6 people and rents for US$400.00 for a half day and US$750.00 for a full day. These prices include pick up and drop off from the hotel, all your fishing gear, drinks and light refreshments. The full day would also include a light lunch of sandwiches and fruit. Call in advance to make a reservation and schedule the pick-up. Ph. 957-0667. A less professional, more local fishing experience can be had with Famous Vincent. He takes you out early, before 7am, in his glass-bottomed boat. He has considerable success trawling lines from extended poles at the sides if his boat. Vincent usually knows where to find the right spots.
Negril Vacations site
Our company is running one of the largest pc and mobile travel website networks, covering top hotel, vacation package, airline ticket, beach, cruise, all inclusive and honeymoon destinations worldwide.
We will also run a travel blog portal which centralises the blogs posted by our visitors on all of our websites and which represents one of the world's best travel information resources, totally build by people such as yourself.

Norway Saturday civil marriages could be scrapped
Published on Friday, 14th September, 2012 at 15:16 under the news category, by Nicoleta Dumitrache Sincan.
Saturday weddings are becoming so sought-after that officials are considering restrictions.
Oslo District Courthouse

"We see there's a great demand for Saturday weddings, but must prioritise somwhere. It's obvious that we'll have to discontinue the service if this continues," declared Sør-Trøndelag District Court head of administration Børge Trond Vold.
District court judges in Oslo hold between 500 and 600 marriages each year. Nonetheless, budgets have not been decided for 2013 yet. This means those who want to schedule their civil marriage ceremony for after February may experience problems.
"This will be one of the things to be evaluated and possibly cut down on. The service will not disappear, but it could mean an end to Saturday marriages," Steinar Weseth said to NRK.
Bergen civil ceremonies could also be affected. Officials cannot say anything more until the government completes work on the 2012-13 national budget this month.
In other news, with next year the year of Norway's general election, marriage formalities and ceremonies may change should the Conservatives (H) gain power.
The Party's aim is to develop a broader policy that will be more multi-cultural and multi-faith friendly, Christian newspaper Vårt Land reports.
Under the proposal, the State will be given the power of marriage and take over the paperwork and legal aspects, while the Church's function will just be purely ceremonial. Ordained clergy welcome the idea.
"I think this sounds like a reasonable suggestion and one worth examining more closely if we get a scheme where it is up to the churches themselves to determine what kind of rituals they use to bless the marriage," declared eastern Norway's Bishop of Tunsberg Laila Riksaasen Dahl.

Business retools for mobility
Locopops update: While the gourmet pops vendor Locopops is closing its Chapel Hill and Raleigh stores later this month, the Durham location on Hillsborough Road is not affected and will remain open.
"As long as there's Locopops, there will be a Durham store," said founder Summer Bicknell, who started the business in 2005.
Bicknell said she's closing the two other locations Oct. 27 as part of an effort to re-tool the business and bring the product to where consumers want to eat it: at baseball games, festivals and other events and gatherings.
In addition, Bicknell cited various factors affecting the two stores. In Raleigh, she said renovations to Hillsborough Street made it more difficult for consumers to get to the store. And in Chapel Hill, she said they're in more of a commuter location on South Elliott Road. With an impulse purchase like a pop, she said foot traffic is important.
"Increasingly, consumer behavior says, people want to combine their experiences," she said, explaining the shift to focus on providing pops at special events. "People more and more want to have that combination, we're going to try to bring it to them," she added.
Bicknell said she's also looking into more mobile options for the business in addition to the cart that they have already. She encouraged people to contact her if they're interested in being on a regular route of a mobile vendor..
"We promise not to play any creepy ice cream music," she said.
The Durham store, on Hillsborough Road, is both a retail store for Locopops and a production kitchen. Durham is where the business got its start, and is the city that Bicknell calls home.
"Durham is known for embracing new food business really rapidly, and continuing to support them," she said. "That might be a small difference between different parts of the Triangle. I can't prove it numerically, but that's how it feels."
Additions to Southpoint: A KC Chocolatier cart is opening at The Streets at Southpoint, nad will be in the lower Belk wing of the mall.
In addition, the new Zinburger restaurant is nearing opening. It's going into the former Rockfish space in the outdoor section.

Exhilaration, pageantry and two days of downright excitement… that's what I call the Breeders' Cup World Championships. Get ready to scream like never before.
Breeders' Cup weekend is marked on my calendar every year. I grew up going to the races with my Dad and my love of the sport has only grown. The racing, the fashion, the beautiful tracks and the parties...the Breeders' Cup has it all.
The fastest horses in the world will be coming to Santa Anita to compete in the Breeders' Cup in November. It's the richest, most exciting event each year and makes most other sporting events look, well, quaint.
The Breeders' Cup are two of the most special days in horse racing. It is the Super Bowl, March Madness, and World Series combined into one weekend a year. It is where all the great ones come together to compete.
It's the richest event in sports, so it's a lot of fun.
My love for thoroughbred horses and racing closely rivals my love for golf, and it is such a thrill to now be named an ambassador for the Breeders' Cup.

My first day back at work for 10 days and of course, more packing! Carolin, a German intern joined us today for 8 weeks. She was surprised at the stairs; she doesn't think her friends back home will believe she's got fit in a museum. I know the feeling, even after 10 days away, I am puffing a bit.
Mary Greensted, the former Arts & Crafts curator kindly came to give us a hand today, so the 3 of us ventured into the very top of building number 51 to start to pack the larger social history pieces. I have used no 51 to store collections from the world of work, so we were confronted with shop fittings, tools, farming equipment, fire extinguishers, signs and vacuum cleaners. All shapes and sizes but heart-sinkingly large.
Slades, the former shoe shop in the Promenade, provided several items to delight; shoe lasts, art deco style door handles, and a beautifully carved wooden crown from one of the display cases. Also a stool for the customers to rest their feet on for fittings.
Sheila and Sylvia from the front of house joined us later, they packed engineering models of the Gloster Meteor – the first jet engine craft, designed and made in Cheltenham by Frank Whittle. Then on to teasels, carders, bale hooks, skewers and weights from the woollen industry. I didn't realise we had the weights; they should be on display they are important pieces. So a note for the future.

The last time I wrote about social conservatives' boycott of CPAC due to the participation of GOProud, a Republican gay-rights group, I predicted that it would have little impact on the success of the event unless major speakers or financial backers began to pull out. But now Sen. Jim DeMint, a regular speaker at the conference, has announced that he'll be skipping it this year:
"With leading conservatives organizations not participating this year, Sen. DeMint will not be attending. He hopes to attend a unified CPAC next year," DeMint spokesman Wesley Denton said in an e-mail.
Prominent social conservatives have dropped out of the event and criticized it for its inclusion of the gay conservative group GOProud. Rep. Jim Jordan, who heads the House's Republican Study Committee, also has joined the boycott.
This in itself isn't a huge blow to CPAC. But it could be a sign of more problems to come. DeMint is highly influential in the conservative movement, and his decision could make it easier for other speakers to drop out of the conference as well.
And while it's unlikely that prospective candidates for the Republican presidential nomination will drop out of the event — they wouldn't want to risk alienating disparate segments of the conservative movement at this point — it could make it more difficult for the American Conservative Union, which runs CPAC, to book prominent speakers next year.
CPAC makes a good deal of its money off students, who attend the event to hear speeches from top conservative leaders. If the conference isn't able to draw as many big names, it may start to lose out on student fees.
Over at Slate, Dave Weigel also notes that Rep. Mike Pence hasn't confirmed whether he'll be speaking. Pence is considered more mainstream than DeMint, and if he's a no-show, that would be a major indicator that the conference's influence in the movement is waning.

Derbyshire economy sees 'great recovery', says business leader George Cowcher
Posted: April 17, 2014|
THE economic recovery in Derbyshire is making "great progress", says business leader George Cowcher.
Mr Cowcher, chief executive of the Chamber of Commerce for Derbyshire, was commenting after figures showed that the number of people looking for work fell in Derby and the rest of Derbyshire last month.
After suffering from a Christmas hangover, with job-seeker numbers rising in both January and February, figures for March, released by the Office for National Statistics yesterday, showed that the number of people claiming work-related benefit in the city and county was falling once again.
Last month, the number of people claiming job-seekers' allowance in Derby went down from 5,598 to 5,420 – a fall of 178 or 3.2%. In the rest of the county, the dole queue shrunk in March, falling by 388 to 10,594, a drop of 3.5%.
Related content
Throughout 2013, jobseeker numbers in both Derby and Derbyshire fell month-on-month. The positive trend halted in the first two months of 2014 when the figures started rising again.
But business leaders were unperturbed, blaming the rises on temporary seasonal contracts coming to an end.
Now, it would seem the city and county have picked up from where it left off last year. The number of claimants is lower than 12 months ago.
In March last year, the number of people looking for work in Derby was 7,726 – 2,306 more than this March.
In Derbyshire, 12 months ago the figure stood at 15,143, 4,549 more than this March.
Mr Cowcher said: "Following slight increases in January and February, the fact that the number of claimants has fallen significantly in March is great news and provides further evidence the economy is strengthening.
"They reflect the chamber's recent Quarterly Economic Survey which found 30% of local businesses increased the size of their workforce in the first three months of this year, with a third planning to recruit staff."
The trend in Derby and Derbyshire reflects the national scene, where claimants fell by 30,400 to 1.14 million in March.
The UK figures showed that total number of people out of work fell by 77,000 to a five-year low of 2.24 million in three months to February.
In the East Midlands, the total number of people in employment fell by 13,000 compared to the previous three months and the unemployed figure increased by 14,000.
Mr Cowcher said: "The short-term increase in unemployment and decrease in employment is of a slight concern but is an historic seasonal trend.
"The year-on-year figures show we have made good progress and we shouldn't set too much store by short-term variations. Overall the jobs market is still improving and suggests that the recovery is making great progress."

11 Claims, No Drawings Z-NAPI'ITHOIC ACID DERIVATIVES This invention relates to new organic compounds having valuable pharmacological activity and to a process for the preparation of said compounds. In particular, the invention relates to derivatives of 3,5-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid of the formula i (\Qo (CH2) n-n' COOR wherein R is lower alkyl,
R is di-(lower alkyl) amino or such heterocyclic groups as morpholino, piperidino, thiomorpholino, piperazino, N- methylpiperizino, or 'pyrrolidino, which heterocyclic groups may be further substituted,
R" is hydrogen, phenyl-lower alkyl, or substituted phenyllower alkyl wherein the substituent may be halogen such as chlorine, bromine, fluorine or iodine, nitro, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy, or lower alkoxy, and
n is an integer from 2-5, and their pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic acid addition salts.
The lower alkyl groups, which may be straight chain or branched, contain from one to five carbon atoms and include such groups as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl sec-butyl, amyl, isoamyl, and the like. These groups may contain such substituents as hydroxy, amino, or halogen.
Preferably, R is ethyl, R is dimethylamino, R is 4- chloroberizyl or 3,4-dichlorobenzyl, and n is 2.
The pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic acid addition salts include salts of inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric and phosphoric, and of organic acids such as acetic, propionic, glycolic, lactic, malonic, succinic, malic, maleic, fumaric, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, benzoic, hydroxybenzoic, aminosalicylic, cinnamic, mandelic,
benzenesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, nicotinic, isonicotinic, and
the like.
According to the process of this invention the compounds were prepared by heating substantially equimolar quantities of a 2-naphthoic acid ester of the formula -COOR in the case where R was not hydrogen, was obtained by refluxing in ethanol substantially equimolar amounts of the desired ester of 3,5-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, a phenylor substituted phenyl-lower alkyl chloride, and sodium.
The invention will be more fully illustrated in the examples which follow, which examples are given by way of illustration and are not to be considered as limiting.
EXAMPLE I Ethyl 5-Benzy1oxy-3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate To a stirred solution of 7.8 g (0.34 g atom) of sodium in 1,000 cc of ethanol, was added g (0.37 mole) of ethyl 3,5- dihydroxy-2-naphthoate. After one-half hr. 47 g. (0.37 mole) of benzyl chloride was added. The reaction mixture was warmed under reflux for 24 hrs. The hot reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate cooled in an ice bath. A tan solid precipitated out, which was filtered off yielding 15.0 g (m.p. 981 15 C.) of the crude product. Recrystallization first from ethanol and then from acetonitrile furnished ethyl S-benzyloxy-3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate, m.p. 1 12-114 in 7 percent yield (7.3 g).
EXAMPLE I1 Ethyl 5-Benzyloxy-3-( 2-piperidinoethoxy )-2-naphthoate Hydrochloride To a stirred solution of 1.4 g (0.062 g atom) of sodium, in 500 cc ethanol, was added 20 g (0.062 mole) of ethyl 5- benzyloxy-3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate. The reaction mixture was warmed to reflux for one hour. 2-Piperidinoethyl chloride (16.2 g, 0.1 1 mole) dissolved in 100 cc of benzene was added dropwise to the reaction mixture. The benzene was removed by axeotropic distillation during which time the reaction volume was maintained at 500 cc by the periodic addition of ethanol. Refluxing was continued for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent removed from the filtrate. The residue was treated with water and extracted with ether. The ether solution was washed with water and then dried over anhydrous MgSO Hydrogen chloride was passed through the ether solution and the precipitated hydrochloride salt crystallized from acetonitrile to yield ethyl 5-benzy1oxy-3-( 2- piperidinoethoxy)-2-naphthoate hydrochloride, m.p. 163-6 C. in 38 percent yield 10.8 g).
EXRAMPLE m Ethyl 5-Hydroxy-3-(Z-piperidinoethoxy)-2-naphthoate Hydrochloride A solution of 8.8 g. (0.019 mole) of ethyl 5-benzyloxy-3-(2- piperidinoethoxy)-2-naphthoate hydrochloride in 240 cc. ethanol was treated with 1.0 g. of 10 percent palladium on carbon and hydrogenated at room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue, weighing 7.5 g., on recrystallization from acetonitrile furnished 5-hydroxy-3-(Z-piperidinoethoxy)-2-naphthoatehydrochloride, m.p. l53-6 C. in 61 percent yield (4.4 g.).
In accordance with the procedures described in the above examples, the additional compounds shown in the table below were prepared. In this table the melting points are for the Et piperidino Phcll Cl-l cH 2 140-2 Et pyrrolidino l hCl-l cl-l Cl-l 2 126-30 Et i-Pr,N PhCl-l cl-l CH 2 155-7 Et Me N H 2 165-8 Ph=phenyl, Me=methyl, Et=ethyl, i-Pr-=isopropyl -COOR wherein R is lower alkyl,
R is di-( lower alkyl )-amino,
R" is hydrogen, phenyl-lower alkyl, or halophenyl-lower alkyl, and
n is an integer from 2 to 5 inclusive; and its pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic acid addition salts.
2. A compound according to claim 1, wherein n is 2.
3. A compound according to claim 2, wherein R is ethyl.
4. A compound according to claim 3, wherein R is dimethylamino.

Chanel Plum Attraction Joues Contraste Blush Review, Photos, Swatches (Fall 2010)
Chanel Plum Attraction Joues Contraste Blush
Strong Cheeks are BACK! for Fall
Given the release of Chanel Plum Attraction Joues Contraste Blush ($42.00 for 0.14 oz.)–a deep red-toned plum-burgundy with subtle golden sheen–we may be seeing stronger color on cheeks this fall. This is a color that will look a little different depending on your skin tone. On cooler skin tones, it's going to pull a little more plum, while on warmer skin tones, it will pull a little more burgundy. It just has that nuance of undertones that makes it interact with your skin tone in a way that actually works to highlight it.
For those who don't follow Chanel or rarely stop by the counter, let me tell you a little about what makes these blushes so loved. They are finely-milled, silky smooth powders that apply beautifully on skin. This is not a blush that will look chalky or powdery–it lays down on skin like it belongs there; the shades, no matter their hue, always look natural on cheeks. (Taken from an earlier review.)
It can be worn lightly or built-up for an intense, showstopping cheek, depending on your mood and the look you're going for. I wore it a couple of days ago with a neutral eye and stronger, vampier lip, and I think it worked out really well. I tend to coordinate cheeks and lips together in a way that's opposite of the lightness/darkness of my eye look. For example, a dark, smoky eye pairs well with a lighter cheek and lip, while a softer, neutral eye pairs well with a stronger cheek and lip.
If you want to know more about how products are evaluated, read out Rating System FAQ!
- Product: 29/30
- Value: 7/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 4/5
RECOMMENDATION: The formula is lovely, with its silky, fine-milled powder feel, and the way it melts on the skin and wears well throughout the day are all positive attributes of the blush. The only downside is the price/quantity ratio. Since it's a darker shade, it's definitely something that will appeal to some, not to others, and will be very much based on personal preferences.
AVAILABILITY: July 2010 at Chanel counters

AT&T Confirms Considering Lowering iPhone Data Plans... Maybe!
Reuters (via Ars) has word from Ralph de la Vega, the head of AT&T's mobility and consumer business:
"Right now we continue to study what is the best thing that is available, not just from an iPhone point of view, but what you can do to stimulate additional demand,"
"Our business is to sell services," he said, adding that AT&T doesn't make money from the sale of devices like the iPhone, which it subsidizes heavily
"We view Apple as a strategic partner for us, a very good partner to have now and into the future,"
Like the old joke goes, if you ask someone if they've considered something -- bang! -- you just made them consider it. So, yeah, AT&T has considered making iPhone data cheaper... but we still don't know if they'll actually do anything about it.
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

AT&T Confirms Considering Lowering iPhone Data Plans... Maybe!
@ Terry - so, you would start something just like Revol. It's not a new idea. Also, everyone says that they would do that but if charging that much for texting raised your salary as a CEO by one or two million a year would you really lower the prices? A lot of people say they would but given the chance for that kind of money I don't know that a lot of people would lower their rates.
I remember I did this a while back. It brings back good memories. Nothing good seems to work the first time. How long did it take you? I look forward to your next story.

Which Enclosure and HD for my iBook G4?
Which Enclosure and HD for my iBook G4?
I need to find a good enclosure and HD to use with my iBook G4. I'm running Tiger, OSX 10.4. I'd like to get a larger HD though, probably either 500GB or 640GB.
I need to use the external HD to boot the computer, and also need two Firewire and one USB connections, so I can connect other external drives.
Any suggestions?
I've been using this enclosure:
Rosewill RX30-U2FA Aluminum 3.5" USB 2.0 (USB1.1) 1 port (4pin) FireWire 400 (1394a) 2 ports (6pin) External Enclosure
with this HD:
for over four years, with no problems until yesterday afternoon ....
I need a new external HD, because our neighbor was messing around with the circuit breakers and flipped the switches, which cut our power and damaged my external HD!
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Very nice Theme Krank. Only four posted so far, maybe people are keeping their powder dry, for the final push.
well heres mine, had a little trouble, since i normally dont make pictures of such a low rez...... but meh, changed it several times before getting this.
If only i could choose the position of the "the homebrew channel" text, and the wifi and geko location, if anyone knows how, plz tell me.
Another quick problem is that when u click on it, the info box comes up with white, as well as white text, could anyone fix this for me, change it to a black box with white text? thank you

(if not, someone say now please so I can edit it. Even though I see some staff members doing the same so I guess it's ok)
I was thinking of using mario stars as well (as the bubbles) but decided not to due to the copyright stuff (I made some stars in photoshop myself instead)
To change the info box, edit the dialog_background.png file.
Alternatively, you can edit the theme.xml to change text colors.

I would like to clarify the position of using copyrighted material.
I stated on the first page that the winning theme will be posted on WiiBrew. You have probably all seen the rules there.
Its quite simple, if you can post it on WiiBrew its OK for this contest, if the theme cannot be posted then it cannot enter the contest.
As images posted on wiiBrew are not copyrighted they will be available to copy. If anyone has a different view to this please let me know.

HTC has announced that it will be offering other Android users the opportunity to customise their phones with its new Blinkfeed feature.
The latest version of Blinkfeed debuted with the new HTC One M8 yesterday. HTC has said that it will release the app to on the Google Play Store in the coming days.
"Following its popularity with HTC users, HTC will now make HTC BlinkFeed available to other Android devices, launching on the Google Play store soon," the company said in a statement.
The roll out is expected to give HTC the ability to update its Blinkfeed and Sense apps more easily in the future. Currently the company has to update the apps via the system update function.
The new version of Blinkfeed comes with a revamped free-scrolling interface. It also introduces larger images and the option to remove the clock if it isn't set on the home screen.
There are also a number of tweaks to the management options.
Details of release and compatibility of the new Blinkfeed app are currently unknown. If we had to guess, we wouldn't be surprised if it is only compatible with phones running Android KitKat.
The Blinkfeed app is the latest HTC app to make it to Google's Play Store. Last week, HTC Service Pack, HTC SenseTV, HTC Guide and HTC Gallery were also uploaded to the store to be downloaded by other Android users.

Updated January 1, 2014. This post is currently up to date with the information that we have from the National Office of the BSA.
Provided below are some updates about the switch to the Scout Oath and Scout Law in all programs, a change that primarily affects Venturing and Cub Scouting.
The resolution, passed by the National Executive Board last year, means that soon every Scout of any age will use the Scout Oath and Law instead of reciting separate, program-specific sayings. Cub Scouts will recite the Scout Oath and Law instead of the Cub Scout Promise and Law of the Pack. Similarly, Venturers will no longer use the Venturing Oath and Venturing Code.
The rollout is going to be timed "with the release of youth handbooks and leader aids supporting this and other changes related to Strategic Plan Goal 411."
That means for Venturing, the change will take place in May of 2014 with the release of the new materials and updates to the Venturing program.
For Cub Scouts, the date is currently set to take place in May of 2015 along with some updates to the Cub Scout program.

Whitworth Rallies Past Willamette with Strong Second Half, 90-67
Westermann and McFaddin Each Score 13 Points for Bearcats
SPOKANE, WASH. -- Whitworth University exploded for 58 points in the second half, as the Pirates rallied from a 33-32 halftime deficit to defeat Willamette University, 90-67, in a Northwest Conference game on Saturday, Feb. 18. The Pirates placed four players in double figures, led by Lauren Picha, who achieved a game-high 16-points.
It was the final game of the season for both teams. Whitworth finished at 11-14 overall, including 7-9 in the NWC. Willamette ended the year with a 1-24 record, 0-16 in the NWC.
Willamette seniors Kaileigh Westermann (Sr., F, Belfair, WA/South Kitsap HS) and Maya McFaddin (Sr., Wing, McMinnville, OR/McMinnville HS) both provided double-digit scoring in their final game for the Bearcats with 13 points apiece.
McFaddin's scoring total was a career-high, as she went 4 for 8 from the field, including 2 for 2 on 3-pointers. Westermann, who led the Bearcats with seven rebounds, concluded her career with 746 points and 656 rebounds.
Westermann's rebounding total ranks second all-time for the Bearcats behind Jenny Joseph, who earned 695 boards from 1993-97.
Willamette's third senior, Dora Rabih (F, Denver, CO/John F. Kennedy HS/Arizona Western Coll.), tacked on eight points, went 4 for 5 on field goals and earned four assists.
Joining Picha in double figures for Whitworth were Kayla Johnson, Emily Guthrie and Lexi Belcher. Johnson earned 15 points, Guthrie contributed 14 and Belcher scored 12. Taylor Taylor led the Pirates with nine rebounds.
The first half featured six ties and six lead changes. Willamette took an a 9-3 lead in the opening 2:23 of play. Jojo DeLong (Fr., PG, Santa Clarity, CA/Canyon HS) provided seven of the nine points with a 3-pointer and two layups.
Whitworth went on a 9-2 run to take a 12-11 lead on a jump shot by Jamie Lyons at the 13:26 mark. The Bearcats countered with eight consecutive points for the largest lead by either team during the half at 19-12 with 10:36 on the clock. WU's 8-0 run featured jumpers from Rebecca Josephson (So., Wing, Fair Oaks, CA/Del Campo HS) and McFaddin followed by two layups from Westermann.
The Pirates surged again, using a 15-3 run to take a 27-22 advantage over the Bearcats with 4:33 left in the half. Five players scored for Whitworth during the run.
Willamette tallied the next five points for a 27-27 tie with 2:52 to go. Neither team led by more than a single point for the remainder of the half. A layup by Julia Brand (Fr., Wing, Kaneohe, HI/Punahou School) for the Bearcats at the 1:21 mark gave Willamette a 33-32 lead and the was the final basket of the half.
Statistics in the first half favored primarily the Bearcats. Willamette shot 59.1% from the field (13 of 22), including 2 of 3 from 3-point range. The Bearcats also hit 5 of 8 free throws (62.5%) and achieved a 19-15 rebounding margin.
Whitworth shot just 30.0% from the field (9 of 30) in the first 20 minutes, while making only 3 of 12 three-pointers. The Pirates shot more free throws as they hit 11 of 12 charity shots (91.7%) to offset Willamette's advantage on field goals. In addition, Whitworth attained a 13-7 edge in takeaways during the first half.
The Bearcats took a 38-35 lead in the first minute of the second half, using a 3-pointer by McFaddin and a layup by Rabih to offset a 3-pointer by Belcher of Whitworth just 13 seconds into the period.
It was Willamette's final lead of the game, as the Pirates scored seven consecutive points to take a 42-38 advantage with 16:09 remaining. Guthrie provided the final three points of the scoring streak with a 3-point basket.
Rabih put in a jumper on the the next possession for the Bearcats, but the Pirates tacked on an 11-0 run for a 53-40 edge with 12:19 to go. Picha tallied six of the 11 points. Later, Whitworth's lead reached 64-44 on a jumper by Jenna Cacchillo with 9:48 on the clock.
The Pirates improved their field goal shooting to 60.6% (20 of 33) in the second half. The increased accuracy included 7 of 11 shooting from 3-point range (63.6%). Whitworth matched its first-half performance at the line, hitting an additional 11 of 12 at the charity stripe.
For the game, Whitworth shot 46.0% (23 of 63) on field goals, including 43.5% (10 of 23) on 3-point attempts. The Pirates were 22 of 24 at the free throw line.
Willamette's shooting dipped to 37.0% in the second half (10 of 27). The Bearcats ended the game at 46.9% overall (23 of 49). Willamette finished at 3 of 6 on 3-pointers and 18 of 25 on free throws (72.0%).

I took my eldest son (he's now 13) and we stood with an incredible group - grandmothers, mothers, fathers, midwives, doulas, women's health advocates - all people who have been working to bring midwifery into the Nova Scotian health care system (for some, the fight has lasted decades.)
"Adding midwives to our teams of health-care professional allows us to better meet the needs of moms and families across Nova Scotia." - Nova Scotia Minister of Health, Chris d'EntremontThanks so much to those of you who sent best wishes after my post on November 15. Since then, the bill has had its second reading. Comments from that reading included, "members of all parties were supportive and made many positive comments, including that physiologic birth needs to return to communities and midwives were the ones to do it." Hurray! You know how I love the idea of the community of birth!
The Midwifery Act went to the Law Amendments Committee this afternoon for a round of presentations. I'll keep you posted as to what happens next!

- Energy dependence of multiplicity fluctuations in heavy ion collisions at the CERN SPS (2008)
- In this work data of the NA49 experiment at CERN SPS on the energy dependence of multiplicity fluctuations in central Pb+Pb collisions at 20A, 30A, 40A, 80A and 158A GeV, as well as the system size dependence at 158A GeV, is analysed for positively, negatively and all charged hadrons. Furthermore the rapidity and transverse momentum dependence of multiplicity fluctuations are studied. The experimental results are compared to predictions of statistical hadron-gas and string-hadronic models. It is expected that multiplicity fluctuations are sensitive to the phase transition to quark-gluon-plasma (QGP) and to the critical point of strongly interacting matter. It is predicted that both the onset of deconfinement, the lowest energy where QGP is created, and the critical point are located in the SPS energy range. Furthermore, the predictions for the multiplicity fluctuations of statistical and string-hadronic models are different, the experimental data might allow to distinguish between them. The used measure of multiplicity fluctuations is the scaled variance omega, defined as the ratio of the variance and the mean of the multiplicity distribution. In the NA49 experiment the tracks of charged particles are detected in four large volume time projection chambers (TPCs). In order to remove possible detector effects a detailed study of event and track selection criteria is performed. Naively one would expect Poisson fluctuations in central heavy ion collisions. A suppression of fluctuations compared to a Poisson distribution is observed for positively and negatively charged hadrons at forward rapidity in Pb+Pb collisions. At midrapidity and for all charged hadrons the fluctuations are larger than the Poisson ones. The fluctuations seem to increase with decreasing system size. It is suggested that this is due to increased relative fluctuations in the number of participants. Furthermore, it was discovered that omega increases for decreasing rapidity and transverse momentum. A hadron-gas model predicts different values of omega for different statistical ensembles. In the grand-canonical ensemble, where all conservation laws are fulfilled only on the average, not on an event-by-event basis, the predicted fluctuations are the largest ones. In the canonical ensemble the charges, namely the electrical charge, the baryon number and the strangeness, are conserved for each event. The scaled variance in this ensemble is smaller than for the grand-canonical ensemble. In the micro-canonical ensemble not only the charges, but also the energy and the momentum are conserved in each event, the predicted $omega$ is the smallest one. The grand-canonical and canonical formulations of the hadron-gas model over-predict fluctuations in the forward acceptance. In contrast to the experimental data no dependence of omega on rapidity and transverse momentum is expected. For the micro-canonical formulation, which predicts small fluctuations in the total phase space, no quantitative calculation is available yet for the limited experimental acceptance. The increase of fluctuations for low rapidities and transverse momenta can be qualitatively understood in a micro-canonical ensemble as an effect of energy and momentum conservation. The string-hadronic model UrQMD significantly over-predicts the mean multiplicities but approximately reproduces the scaled variance of the multiplicity distributions at all measured collision energies, systems and phase-space intervals. String-hadronic models predict for Pb+Pb collisions a monotonous increase of omega with collision energy, similar to the observations for p+p interactions. This is in contrast to the predictions of the hadron-gas model, where omega shows no energy dependence at higher energies. At SPS energies the predictions of the string-hadronic and hadron-gas models are in the same order of magnitude, but at RHIC and LHC energies the difference in omega in the full phase space is much larger. Experimental data should be able to distinguish between them rather easily. Narrower than Poissonian (omega < 1) multiplicity fluctuations measured in the forward kinematic region (1<y(pi)<y_{beam}) can be related to the reduced fluctuations predicted for relativistic gases with imposed conservation laws. This general feature of relativistic gases may be preserved also for some non-equilibrium systems as modeled by the string-hadronic approaches. A quantitative estimate shows that the predicted maximum in fluctuations due to a first order phase transition from hadron-gas to QGP is smaller than the experimental errors of the present experiment and can therefore neither be confirmed nor disproved. No sign of increased fluctuations as expected for a freeze-out near the critical point of strongly interacting matter is observed.
- Collective phenomena in the non-equilibrium quark-gluon plasma (2008)
- In this work we study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a quark-gluon plasma, as created in heavy-ion collisions. We investigate how big of a role plasma instabilities can play in the isotropization and equilibration of a quark-gluon plasma. In particular, we determine, among other things, how much collisions between the particles can reduce the growth rate of unstable modes. This is done both in a model calculation using the hard-loop approximation, as well as in a real-time lattice simulation combining both classical Yang-Mills-fields as well as inter-particle collisions. The new extended version of the simulation is also used to investigate jet transport in isotropic media, leading to a cutoff-independent result for the transport coefficient $hat{q}$. The precise determination of such transport coefficients is essential, since they can provide important information about the medium created in heavy-ion collisions. In anisotropic media, the effect of instabilities on jet transport is studied, leading to a possible explanation for the experimental observation that high-energy jets traversing the plasma perpendicular to the beam axis experience much stronger broadening in rapidity than in azimuth. The investigation of collective modes in the hard-loop limit is extended to fermionic modes, which are shown to be all stable. Finally, we study the possibility of using high energy photon production as a tool to experimentally determine the anisotropy of the created system. Knowledge of the degree of local momentum-space anisotropy reached in a heavy-ion collision is essential for the study of instabilities and their role for isotropization and thermalization, because their growth rate depends strongly on the anisotropy.

Are there guys out there that are really sending all of this crap to their true love?
What happened to a nice piece of jewelry? A bouquet of roses? A box of chocolates? A gift card to Williams-Sonoma, or Bath & Body Works?
Honestly, who wants a bunch of dudes playing instruments in your living room on Christmas morning?
A bunch of lords leaping around in your house? (Possibly knocking over furniture) (Or worse, possibly injuring themselves... lawsuit...)
Nine ladies dancing? What kind of dancing are we talking about? Isn't that more of a gift for the guy? Yeah. It is.
No one wants cows in their house. They're messy. Although fresh milk would be nice.
Here's my biggest problem with this song: what's up with all of the BIRDS?
Bird-giving is not a good idea! Who told you that?! Stick with gift cards and candles. Sweet Jesus, do you know how many people are allergic to birds? Plus they are probably expensive pets. And they make your house smell.
Swans, Geese, Calling birds (What the hell is a calling bird?), French hens, Turtle doves and a Partridge.
I would probably kill someone if they gave me all of those birds on Christmas morning when I was expecting some aromatherapy candles, Rocher chocolates and house shoes.
Unless we were going to be eating the geese, French hens or turtle doves, because that could be delicious.
Can you eat turtle doves? I think you can.
We have lots of doves here in our yard, and they're always really plump. They can barely take flight from all of the extra weight they're carrying around.
That could make for some good eatin'.
You could roast them over a bed of root vegetables and baste with with an herby-butter sauce, and have a nice Christmas dinner.
I'm going to contemplate eating turtle doves on Christmas, but first I have a recipe for you: Turtle Brownies. Give me these for Christmas and I'd be happy!
This is what I used my freshly harvested pecans for!
Ah, yes, such a classic recipe that I didn't have on my website. Turtle brownies are so delicious, I'm going to have to make them again very soon. That combination of dark chocolate, pecans and caramel is killer. I even made my own caramel for the top. And yes, I used milk chocolate for the topping. I like to pretend that I don't like milk chocolate, but in reality, I do. There are times when it's okay to use it.
3/4 cup unsalted butter, plus an additional 2 tablespoons, divided use
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (Hersheys)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar, plus an additional 1/3 cup granulated sugar, divided use
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted*
1/3 cup coarsely chopped milk chocolate, or milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch baking dish.
Melt 3/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Turn heat off, and whisk in chocolate until melted and well combined.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, stir together flour and salt, until combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar and vanilla, until well combined. Whisk in melted chocolate mixture, gradually, until combined. Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in about 1/2 cup of the pecans, until combined.
Scrape batter into prepared baking dish, and spoon the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle additional pecans on top. Bake at 350 degrees F, for 25-30 minutes, or until set. In the last 2 minutes of baking, sprinkle milk chocolate over the top to melt.
Cool brownies on a wire rack, while you make the caramel.
To make the caramel topping, whisk together the additional 1/3 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons water, over medium-high heat, and bring mixture to a boil, whisking frequently. When the syrup starts to boil, stop stirring. Boil syrup until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in additional 2 tablespoons butter and a pinch of salt, until melted and well combined. Drizzle caramel evenly over brownies.
Chill or freeze brownies until set, before slicing.

By Mike ElterNational Guard Bureau
MILLINGTON, Tenn., Sept. 25, 2002 The Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force squared off against each other in the 2002 Armed Forces Men's and Women's Volleyball Championship at Naval Support Activity Mid-South here Sept. 9-14.
Coming into the double round-robin tournament, the athletes had three goals in mind: to win the tournament, to be named to the all-armed forces team and to have fun. They were battling the odds with the first two, as only two teams could win first place and only 24 would be named to the all-service team. But everyone was able to have fun.
The Navy women took the court for the first game of the tournament, beat Air Force and never looked back in posting a perfect match-play record.
The men's contest wasn't as easy and went down to a tie-breaking best-two-of-three match between the Army and Air Force. Both came to the final game with one loss -- at the hands of one another. Having just battled Navy an hour before, the Army fell in two games to the Air Force.
At the closing ceremony, after the Navy women and Air Force men received their gold medals, and the Army men and women their silvers, it was time to announce the tournament all-star team and the all-armed forces team.
The Navy women again rose to the top, placing their head coach, Lt. Katie Good, and five players on the 12-person all-armed forces team.
The women on the armed forces team will be: Navy, Lt. Marsha Heineman, Seaman Faye Solis, Lt. j.g. Katie Sheldon, Petty Officer 3rd class Edna McCollum and Lt. j.g. Beth Salness; Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Charissa Howard; Army, 1st Lt. Cassandra Clemons, 1st Lt. Jennifer Cave and 2nd Lt. Elizabeth Andreichuk; and Air Force, 1st Lt. Summer Deaton, Capt. Billeye Juarez and Senior Airman Heather Liskey.
The men's all-armed forces team will be: Navy, Ensign Jeffrey Mund, Petty Officer 3rd class Randall Mindar and Lt. Brian Rosemark; Army, Sgt. Jason Janda, Sgt. Juan Monge-Velazquez, Capt. Leif Fautanu and Staff Sgt. Tausala Faamausili; and Air Force, Staff Sgt. Robert Caldwell, Staff Sgt. Brian Quinn and Airman First Class Ashley Spurlin. The Marines will be represented on court by Navy hospital corpsmen Petty Officer 2nd Class Charles Taylor and Seaman Russel Simmons. The men's team will be led by Marine Corps team coach Petty Officer 1st class Kahili Schucht.
Heineman, Solis, Sheldon, Clemons, Deaton, Juarez and Marine Corps Capt. Susan Bird composed the tournament all-star women's squad. On the men's all stars were Mindar, Simmons, Spurlin, Quinn, Faamausili, Marine Staff Sgt. Frank Duenasnunez and Air Force Master Sgt. Kliengsak Nipchaimanathan.
The tournament displayed teamwork at its best. The skill levels of the players being similar, the difference between who won or lost came down to who came ready to win.
Navy women's coach Good knows the answer: The Navy women.
"The attitude of this team is the best I have ever worked with, but they are also the most talented," Good said. "They came in on Day 1 with one goal of winning the gold. They came to play volleyball and clicked right away. If there were any little personality problems, they dealt with them and didn't bring them to the gym."
She also attributes the team's success to leadership, but she doesn't take credit for it.
"Each one of them is her own individual leader. They were all able to take control of anything that happened out there, and the others instinctively supported them," Good added.
"We just wanted to be the best. Winning the gold is a bonus," said Petty Officer 2nd class Kilohana Akim, based in Hawaii at the Pacific Area Armory Detachment.
"They have become a family," said Rob Hansgen, deputy secretariat of the Armed Forces Sports Council. "First, when they were formed as a team, and now all the services here have become a family. That's part of the goal of the program for all of the sports."
"We're dealing with some of the best athletes in the nation," Hansgen said "This program is on the same level as (NCAA) Division 1. Some of these players are even Olympic caliber."
In addition to volleyball the Department of Defense sponsors sports programs in golf, basketball, wrestling, bowling, track and field, racquetball, tennis, softball, boxing and soccer.
Service members interested in representing their branch of service should contact their athletics or recreation department for more details and schedules, or log on to the DoD sports Web site at dod.mil/armedforcessports.
"The combat sports -- wrestling and boxing -- are the most popular," Hansgen said, "but all of the programs are highly competitive."
The all-armed forces team, also known as "Team U.S.A.," will now represent the United States in the Conseil International du Sports Militaire, known as CISM, championship being held now through Oct. 2 in Constanta, Romania. CISM has 122 member nations.
The host, Capt. Wanda L. Riddle, commander of the support activity, could often be seen cheering on the teams when her schedule allowed. She favored the Navy teams, of course, but she voiced pride in all the teams.
"Sports endeavors such as this tournament play a vital role in our military," Riddle said. "They provide higher morale and alert minds. Each of the participants here has exhibited dedication, hard work and a willingness to make the sacrifices necessary to be champions.
"It's great you can all come here and do something different and still represent the U.S. military. I am very proud of all of you and I am glad you are all on the same military team," she said closing the tournament.

Spring Might be on its Way!
Yesterday really felt like spring, and all the bulbs are coming out in the garden, but today of course, we had more rain!! Jim is very busy on the farm, it's calving time, which means life is sometimes a little stressful! The Butcher's shop is nearly finished, and we are selling a lot of meat by mail order now, which is great (see www.stocktonandstratton.co.uk). Kids Corner(www.kidscorneronline.co.uk) has started it's spring campaign, and people are already looking to buy play equipment for their children for the summer. Mostly importantly, the Bed and Breakfast is starting to get very busy again, and I am really enjoying it! We have had such lovely people to stay (and long may that continue), and we are looking forwards very much to a busy year. I have been pursuaded to enter Churton Heath Farm Bed and Breakfast in the Visit Chester and Cheshire Best Bed and Breakfast category, which should be very interesting!!

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota enters a new era Saturday when it opens its first managed wolf hunting season.
The region's wolves came off the endangered list last January, and Minnesota has set a quota of 400 wolves for the season, which includes an early hunting-only season that opens Saturday and a hunting-and-trapping season opening Nov. 24.
Dan Stark a wolf specialist with the Department of Natural Resources, says he expects hunters will take about 70 wolves in the early season.
Wisconsin hunters and trappers have taken more than 40 wolves since their season opened Oct. 15.
Wolf hunting opponents lost when they went to court to try to block Minnesota's season. Howling for Wolves plans to protest outside DNR headquarters in St. Paul Friday and at Lake Superior Plaza West in Duluth Saturday.
