Is it a great concept for couples to go in for marriage counseling together? Arguments can be created for both sides. It's great to be able to air your grievances and hear what your spouse has to say in return nevertheless, having your significant other there with you may possibly inhibit you from saying what you're truly thinking and feeling. If you have an skilled marriage coach to help you, though, you may discover that couples counseling is the best thing that happened in your marriage because your honeymoon. It's all in understanding the correct way to communicate and discuss what's bothering every of you, and you can both end up feeling much better after a session.
A lot depends on what makes you feel the most comfy. Don't agree to couples counseling when you're so afraid of your spouse that you won't be willing to discuss any of your difficulties. Your coach can't help you unless you fill him in on what the problems are, so if he asks you about what's bothering you and you tell him "nothing", he isn't going to know what problems want to be addressed. A lot of couples aren't excellent candidates for a group session like this, because they just don't get along well enough any more. Though getting it all off of your chest can be therapeutic in some instances, there's truly small to be gained from sitting and screaming at each other just like you do at home.
A excellent marriage coach will moderate in a way that stops non-productive fights from taking place. You might believe that's impossible, but there's a reason this guy is an professional. Not only will he assist you control the fighting, but he'll give you methods you can use to deal with your difficulties when he's not around. Clearly, if you could stop the fighting and screaming, the antagonism between the two of you will cool, too. The environment in your house will be much more comfy for everybody who lives there. Absolutely nothing hurts kids any more than their parents continuously being at each and every other's throats, so studying to turn a negative scenario to a positive can have a lot of impact on household life.
Is a marriage coach a guy with all the answers? No, there are some issues that there are no answers to, and other people that will function out better if you figure out the answers yourselves, but a coach is a person who can offer you with the guidance you require to turn your marriage around. If this is what you're both looking for, then this marriage counseling option can be just what you're looking for.

You know how there are certain lipsticks that routinely get praised for being "universally flattering" but end up being "universally flattering to everyone but you"? Nars' Dolce Vita isn't like that at all. For once, all the blogs and reviews are right!
I held off on buying this because, in general, I've been rather underwhelmed by Nars products. Most are ok but not worth the high price tag. For the last couple of months, I've been trying to shake up my makeup routine (ie Going from "barely there and blah to well made up and vava voom!"). As such, I've been trying to get away from boring glosses and ChapStick to actual grown up lipstick. Since I'm incapable of going from zero to 90, I still have to ease in to certain things and "loud" lipstick is one of those things. I wanted something flattering, not too in your face but still noticeable. Dolce Vita is just that. I was hesistant when I first saw the tube because this seems very pink and pinks looks terrible on me but somehow, miraculously, Dolce Vita flatters my olive/tan skin. It's like my lips but much, much better. It is rather sheer and if you want a lot of color you do have to apply quite a bit but I like that. It's one of those lipsticks you can apply without a mirror and not worry about it looking insane. The staying power is a bit iffy. If you don't apply quite a bit, it seems to wear off quickly but I found if you layer it, it stays put quite nicely.
If you're looking for something truly flattering, I would suggest giving Dolce Vita a try. Naturally, your skin tone or general opinion will change things but I think this is an awesome lipstick for scaredy cats like me who love makeup but just can't pull off the fully made up look.

Nice color, very natural brownish/pinkish.. However it feels little bit too light for me, almost feels like I have no lipstick on at all. I love the formula and the fact that it feels creamy and hydrating. However it's not worth $25.

Dolce Vita is a "sheer dusty rose" that can be built upon for a deeper colouring. For me, this means something close to my natural lip colour, but slightly on the plummier side. It's rather demure and almost MLBB material, but not quite as rose-coloured as I'd like it (my ideal is a blush rose kind of shade). The moisture in this lipstick is great for winter and I appreciate that it is relatively neutral in scent. My only caveat is that I have to frequently reapply this throughout the day because it wears off so easily. This is my first Nars lipstick and overall I'm pleased with it.

This lipstick is definitely a holy grail product for me. Dolce Vita is a sheer, (kind of) buildable rose color that is universally flattering on many skin tones. It feels moisturizing on my lips and lasts for a reasonable amount of time (for me at least... most lipsticks tend to wear off quickly on me). If I were to lose or run out of this lipstick, I would definitely purchase it again. My only complaint about this product is the packaging. Although it looks lovely and the plastic has a nice, soft satiny-finish, it feels incredible flimsy and cheap compared to other lipstick containers at a similar price point. However, having said that, the packaging will not deter me from purchasing this again. It's more of a minor annoyance than something to really complain about.
Bottom line: A great lipstick for those who want a natural, flattering look.

I love this lipstick. Its the perfect balance for a smoky eye, or just for a neutral look. I expected more of a dusty rose from how it appeared in the tube, but instead I got a perfect YLLB. For reference, I'm a dirty blonde with pale skin (though slightly warm toned) and blue eyes, and it is as perfect on me as it is on my friends with darker hair and more olive skin.
The formula is creamy, and there is a slight rose smell, but nothing too obnoxious. I wish for a better staying power, but it is a sheer lipstick. That said, because I love the NARS packaging, I don't mind reapplying.

This color is such a no brainier, I really don't know who this wouldn't look good on. Perfect for the office and every day, and goes with a lot of looks. Pricy, but you will be able to wear it so much!

I had a hard time choosing which lipstick was to be my last beauty purchase of 2013. It was narrowed down between Urban Decay Naked and NARS Dolce Vita.
I am super glad I chose Dolce Vita! It is definitely a MLBB shade on me and I can get away with multiple layers applied, and still have it look natural!
Definitely will repurchase this baby. However, my only complaint is the packaging. It's velvety smooth exterior does attract and makes it look grungy after a while. But it's what's on the inside that counts!

I just picked this up at Sephora today after realizing the reason I was there, NARS Albatross, had run out at yet ANOTHER location. I have been a fan of NARS lip products for years, always sticking with the nudey-nudes like Belle du Jour, Blonde Venus, etc. This time around I was looking for something that had a bit more pink in it, to achieve that coveted MLBB look. I've seen Dolce Vita before but had reservations because it looks a lot darker in the tube, and as a pale person there's only so much pigment I can pull off in the daytime. I also hate how so many rosy nudes venture toward plum purple as they get more pigmented. Well, suffice to say that this shade ended up being nothing like what I expected. It is very sheer, but if you are light skinned with lips that aren't super pigmented, it is the holy grail of holy grails as far as a perfect, natural warm based YLBB color. No purple or red here, just a rosy pink with brown undertones. The consistency was another pleasant surprise.. it is ever so glossy and very moisturizing. The best part is that the color transitions well from day to night and, I would imagine, through seasons. A definite must have if you are looking for a rosy nude with no shimmer, that will add to your look without overpowering it. Btw.. I paired it with MAC's Subculture liner and NARS Chihuahua gloss for amped-up results, they are a superb team.

This has to be hands down the glossiest lipstick that I have ever used- including the Korres Mango Butter Lipsticks. The color is a very sheer natural lip color (pinkish). It polishes the look, but it definitely does not define it. This is not a dramatic lipstick. I really enjoyed the feeling on my lips and the sheen it gave. I prefer more pigmented lipsticks, but this was still a good purchase.

Library Workshops
The library has a very active instruction program. Faculty are invited to schedule one or more of our sessions for their classes. These generally last an hour and take place in the computer lab on the 13th floor although many can also be held in your classroom. We offer a wide range of session types.
Research Workshop. In this session, students hone their research skills and discover sources beyond Google and Wikipedia. They also learn techniques for developing a research topic and for evaluating information. Workshops are typically a blend of presentation by the librarian and hands-on work by students. They are most useful when students have a specific research project they are working on.
WordPress. MassArt provides an enhanced version of WordPress to its community at blogs.massart.edu. Students, faculty, and staff can use this service to build course sites, blogs, e-portfolios and more. This session provides students with an overview of how to set up and manage a WordPress site.
Artists' Books. In this hands-on workshop, students are presented with selections from the library's diverse collection of artists' books. Included are examples by Robert Rauschenberg, Sol LeWitt, Ai Weiwei, Julie Chen, and Ed Ruscha. Students learn about design, concept, and book construction processes.
Photo Books. Students view rare photography books and portfolios from the library's special collections including works representing the art of George Tice, Paul Stand, Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sophie Calle, and William Eggleston.
Color Theory. Students are shown 100-year-old color devices illustrating the ideas of Albert Munsell, former MassArt faculty member, who is sometimes regarded as the founder of modern color science. They also view original silkscreen plates from Josef Albers' Interaction of Color. These plates illustrate Albers' argument that color is relative: the character of a color is determined by its environment as well as by its own properties. They also possess a vibrancy not seen in republications of Albers' work or even in the new Albers iPad app.
Graphic Novels. Students participate in a presentation on MassArt's developing collection of comics and graphic novels. They learn about the history of the art form, consider issues of style and narrative, while looking at a broad range of selections.
Taking Pictures. A workshop that deals with the ethics and legality of appropriating art. Students learn about copyright, fair use, Creative Commons licensing, and ethical norms within the art world while examining real-world cases of appropriation.

Texas Highway Patrol troopers will increase patrols and crack down on drunk drivers during a special enforcement effort over Spring Break.
The increased patrols will be in effect across the state from March 10 to March 18 in high-risk locations during the times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent. The patrols are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation targeting impaired driving.
"College and high school students should remember that the drinking age in Texas is 21, and any driver under that age with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system can be charged with breaking the law," said Assistant Director Luis Gonzalez, chief of the Highway Patrol. "Getting impaired drivers off the road during Spring Break will make the roads safer and protect lives."
Last year during the Spring Break enforcement period, DPS made 1,266 DWI arrests, including 380 which were made by troopers who were patrolling as a result of additional funding.
DPS offers these additional tips for safe travel during Spring Break:Â
• Don't drink and drive.
• Buckle up everyone in the vehicle—it's the law.
• Don't text and drive, and keep all distractions to a minimum. Focus your attention on the road.
• Slow down—especially in bad weather, construction areas and heavy traffic.
• Don't drive drowsy; pull over or switch drivers if you need to.
• Avoid travel into Mexico. Drug cartel violence and other criminal activity represent a significant safety threat, even in some resort areas.

(AP) WASHINGTON - The National Symphony Orchestra is preparing a multimedia composition focused on George Washington's life.
The Kennedy Center will host the world premiere of "george WASHINGTON" by Roger Reynolds on Oct. 3-5. It will feature massive screens and surround sound to provide sights, sounds and readings from the first president's Mount Vernon estate in Virginia.
The center will also host an exhibit titled "The Many Faces of George Washington" from Sept. 30 to Oct. 6.
The orchestral commission is part of a three-way partnership with Mount Vernon and the University of California's Washington Center. It marks the Sept. 27 opening of the National Library for the Study of George Washington at Mount Vernon.
Reynolds says the piece is "not a history lesson" but is about bringing the audience "into Washington's world."

Two Lovers
Reviewer: Aaron Hillis
Rating (out of 5): ***½
"Love is preposterous and a lie. That doesn't mean it's a lie to you. In other words, you may think you're in love with another person, but really, what you love about that person tends to be what you project upon that person, and what you love in them that you feel you lack yourself."- James Gray
What a curious title, Two Lovers. Like the movie itself and the believably grown-up affairs it depicts, that surface simplicity has multiple meanings, could be a basis for allegory, and mines rich if devastating emotion out of its ambiguities. Just try to forget for a moment that star Joaquin Phoenix is quickly becoming an eccentric performance artist of the Andy Kaufman variety in real life, and cherish what he claims will be his last film: a fantastic, sumptuously lit and shot melodrama of overlapping, shaky love triangles that is mature like nothing else yet on screens this year.

Alabama Sen. Jerry Fielding Switches To GOP
Another Democrat in the Alabama Legislature has switched to the Republican Party. Sen. Jerry Fielding of Talladega County announced Thursday that he's joining the Republican Party. His switch gives the Senate 23 Republicans, 11 Democrats and one independent. The Republican Party has been picking up party switchers since it took control of the Legislature in the November 2010 election. Four Democratic representatives switched shortly after the election: Steve Hurst of Munford, Alan Boothe of Troy, Lesley Vance of Phenix City, and Mike Millican of Hamilton. Alan Harper of Aliceville made the switch in February. Democrats have picked up one Republican. Rep. Daniel Bowman of Sulligent joined the Democratic Party in 2011.

Re: Official RAGE Feedback Thread
I finally got it last night and played it for a short time (the first mission) and it was OK, but I was not playing it OOB since I did look up online all the command flags to fix some of the issues. It looks good IMO from what I have seen but the installation from the DVDs was pathetic. It took 3+ hours to install from 3 discs and when it was done it still had to download about 45% of the game from steam. Maybe there was an error on my discs, Newegg did ship it in a simple padded envelop and the case is pretty much warped and cracked, but the discs seem fine and have no scratches.
I didn't notice too much texture popup in the first mission, and the feel of the combat is good but I only really have one weapon. It seems very borderlands-ish.

Another interim superintendent for Yarmouth schools
YARMOUTH — For the second time this year, the Yarmouth School Committee has named a new interim superintendent for the district.
William Michaud, 61, of Portland, was unanimously approved for the 11-month position Thursday during the committee's regular meeting. He will begin the post on Aug. 5. At the same meeting, the board extended the contract of current interim superintendent Ronald Barker until Aug. 4.
Michaud, an attorney, has worked at his Portland law practice for the past four years, but comes from a background in education that spans three decades. For 19 years, Michaud served in administrative positions, including stints as a superintendent in School Administrative District 16, the former Bath Public School District and Scarborough Public Schools.
In 2006, Michaud left Scarborough to attend law school. Three years later, he began practicing. To accommodate the interim post in Yarmouth, Michaud plans to scale back his law practice for about a year.
Michaud said Wednesday he'll inherit a well-performing school district.
"It's a testament to the leaders who have gone before that the school district is in such wonderful shape." he said.
Michaud will face two main challenges when he takes the reins in August. First, he has been asked to help the school system develop a strategic plan. Second, the district still needs a permanent superintendent.
"The biggest task will be to attract a superintendent who will be here for the long term," he said. "Yarmouth has a history of long-serving superintendents – Frank Harrison and Ken Murphy served for a very, very long time.
"It's good for a community when you can attract high-caliber people for the long term."
The search for a permanent superintendent will begin anew in the fall, said Margaret Groban, chairwoman of the superintendent Search Committee.
The original search began in February, after former Superintendent Judy Paolucci resigned her four-year post Dec. 21, 2012, for an administrative position in Leicester, Mass.
Last spring, the committee received 22 applications and interviewed five candidates. But none met the committee's standards, Groban said Friday, adding that it's difficult to define the ideal candidate.
"We'll know it when we see it," she said. "We're just looking for the perfect fit. We couldn't find it in the first batch, but we think we have a great interim (superintendent) and we'll go from there."
Despite the lack of a permanent hire, Groban said the committee is not discouraged.
"Obviously, in a perfect world, we'd have somebody new starting in September, but we would rather have it take longer and get the right person for the job," she said. "We certainly have a great school district to sell, so that shouldn't be hard."
In the meantime, Barker has served as interim superintendent since late January and will continue through early August.
"Ron Barker has been fabulous and we wish he would stay, but he's made a commitment (elsewhere)," Groban said.
Barker, who most recently was executive director of the Maine State Superintendent's Association and deputy executive director of the Maine School Management Association, was a teacher, coach and principal in Yarmouth schools for 17 years. He also served as superintendent of SAD 6 in Buxton for 10 years.
Barker is retired, but plans to work this fall in the University of Southern Maine's admissions department, he said.

West Dover athlete shines at U.S. Grand PrixAssociated Press | January 19,2014PARK CITY, Utah Only a handful of athletes can master both slopestyle and halfpipe skiing at a world-class level. Devin Logan of West Dover headlines that select group.
Logan isnt satisfied with simply competing at an elite level in two different events. She wants a shot at a gold medal in both events at the Sochi Olympics.
Logan took a step closer to realizing that dream with a victory in the slopestyle final at the U.S. Grand Prix on Friday. The 2011 U.S. halfpipe champion clinched one of three automatic berths after scoring 87.40 points on her first run.
It was just enough for Logan to hold off Canadas Dara Howell, who scored 87.00 on her second run to finish second. Canadas Kaya Turski, the 2013 World slopestyle champion, took third after scoring 86.80 points on her second run.
Logan is also competing in the womens halfpipe finals, which will be her sole focus when the U.S. Grand Prix continues on Saturday.
Ive been doing both since I was 13 years old, so its just second nature to me, Logan said. One helps me in the other with doing tricks and everything. Why not go for two? Better to have two chances than one. Hopefully, Ill bring home a couple of medals.
Turski, who is also a three-time Winter X Games champion, competed for the first time since suffering a torn ACL in August. Her top-three finish helped her clinch a spot on the Canadian Olympic team. Howell had already earned a spot before Fridays competition.
American skier Alex Schlopy won the mens slopestyle final in the afternoon to earn his first podium finish since 2011. Schlopy, who was the 2011 mens world champion, earned 92.20 points on his first run to clinch the victory.
Bobby Brown scored 91.80 on his final run to finish second and clinch a spot in Sochi. Gus Kenworthy took third after posting a score of 91.40 on his first run.
Various factors ranging from injuries to weather-related problems have kept Schlopy off the podium in recent years. Getting a breakthrough win at Park City helps him believe things are finally getting back to normal.
Ive been waiting and working so hard, Schlopy said. It just feels good to have hard work start to pay off. I didnt really expect to jump right into first place or whatever, but Im stoked.
Maddie Bowman did not need a victory to wrap up a spot in the 2014 Winter Olympics. Bowman already assured herself a trip to Sochi with her ski halfpipe win in Colorado last weekend.
That didnt stop her from putting on another show on Friday.
Bowman scored 92.20 points on her final run to claim victory in the first halfpipe event at the Grand Prix in Park City. She has won three of the four Olympic team selection events so far in the womens halfpipe. Bowman, the reigning Winter X Games champion, is expected to be a gold medal contender for Team USA next month in Sochi.
There was definitely a different kind of pressure today, Bowman said. I had a lot of friends and family out here and I wanted to impress them. I had a great time and it made it all more fun.
France claimed the remaining two podium spots. Marie Martinod scored 89.80 points to finish second, and Anais Caradeux took third with 84.80 points.
American skier Brita Sigourney missed out on a podium finish, but strong finishes in previous selection events helped her clinch a spot on the US team.
Frances Kevin Rolland took the top spot in the mens halfpipe final Friday. Rolland finished first after scoring 94.40 points on his final run. He had already clinched a spot on the French Olympic team.
Im assured to go, Rolland said. Thats why it was more easy for me to compete tonight because I dont have a lot of pressure. I know already if I dont hurt myself Im going to be there, so thats good.
Americans Alex Ferreira and Lyman Currier claimed the other podium spots. Ferreira finished second after scoring 93.80 points on his first run and Currier took third when he scored 91.0 points on his final run.MORE IN Wire SportsNEW YORK Tom Bradys four-game suspension for his role in using underinflated footballs during...

America's competitiveness challenges are not simply an outgrowth of the current economic crisis. Instead, they are the culmination of decades without a coherent national innovation strategy. That's the primary message of a new Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) report that benchmarks American innovation performance against that of other leading developed economies.
In most of these ranking exercises, the US tends to rank at or near the top. ITIF ranks the US sixth on a basket of key innovation-related measures, behind Singapore, Sweden, Luxembourg, Denmark and South Korea.
Even more sobering, the US ranks quite low when looking the trends in key performance measures. When tracking performance over a ten-year period (1999-2009), the US ranks last when compared to 35 other economies in terms of improving its innovation performance. While US performance has improved slightly, other economies have made major investments and introduced significant reforms to improve their innovation economies. If the US fails to get serious about a national innovation policy, the gap will continue to close and US performance will continue to lag.
So what would an effective national innovation policy look like? ITIF recommends five key actions:

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Members of Mount Zion Baptist Church of Greensboro sponsored a gas giveaway at the Exxon station on Elm-Eugene Street on Friday.
The third annual service event, "No Greater Love" , gave away $20 worth of gas along with tire pressure checks and clean windows to the first 100 cars in line.
Pastor Bryan J. Pierce Sr. said this was the first time they've given away gasoline instead of back to school supplies, and wanted the fellowship and service on the street rather than through a sermon.
"It's more than just gas," Pastor Pierce said. "For some it is gas, but for others, this is a sign of hope. It may be bad but there's a brighter day."
Saturday Mount Zion will continue their service by passing out groceries to hundreds of families in the Hampton Homes Community, so people will be able to cook a traditional Easter Sunday meal.

Gastric Cancer Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Patient Information [NCI] - General Information About Gastric Cancer
Possible signs of gastric cancer include indigestion and stomach discomfort or pain.
These and other symptoms may be caused by gastric cancer. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms.
In the early stages of gastric cancer, the following symptoms may occur:
- Indigestion and stomach discomfort.
- A bloated feeling after eating.
- Mild nausea.
- Loss of appetite.
- Heartburn.
In more advanced stages of gastric cancer, the following symptoms may occur:
- Blood in the stool.
- Vomiting.
- Weight loss for no known reason.
- Stomach pain.
- Jaundice (yellowing of eyes and skin).
- Ascites (build-up of fluid in the abdomen).
- Trouble swallowing.
Check with your doctor if you have any of these problems.
Tests that examine the stomach and esophagus are used to detect (find) and diagnose gastric cancer.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
- Physical exam and history: An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual. A history of the patient's health habits and past illnesses and treatments will also be taken.
- Blood chemistry studies: A procedure in which a blood sample is checked to measure the amounts of certain substances released into the blood by organs and tissues in the body. An unusual (higher or lower than normal) amount of a substance can be a sign of disease in the organ or tissue that produces it.
- Complete blood count (CBC): A procedure in which a sample of blood is drawn and checked for the following:
- The number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
- The amount of hemoglobin (the protein that carries oxygen) in the red blood cells.
- The portion of the sample made up of red blood cells.
- Upper endoscopy: A procedure to look inside the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine) to check for abnormal areas. An endoscope (a thin, lighted tube) is passed through the mouth and down the throat into the esophagus.
Upper endoscopy. A thin, lighted tube is inserted through the mouth to look for abnormal areas in the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine.
- Barium swallow: A series of x-rays of the esophagus and stomach. The patient drinks a liquid that contains barium (a silver-white metallic compound). The liquid coats the esophagus and stomach, and x-rays are taken. This procedure is also called an upper GI series.
Barium swallow for stomach cancer. The patient swallows barium liquid and it flows through the esophagus and into the stomach. X-rays are taken to look for abnormal areas.
- CT scan (CAT scan): A procedure that makes a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body, taken from different angles. The pictures are made by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. A dye may be injected into a vein or swallowed to help the organs or tissues show up more clearly. This procedure is also called computed tomography, computerized tomography, or computerized axial tomography.
- Biopsy: The removal of cells or tissues so they can be viewed under a microscope to check for signs of cancer. A biopsy of the stomach is usually done during the endoscopy.
One or more of the following tests may be done on the samples of tissue that are removed:
- Immunohistochemistry study: A laboratory test in which a substance such as an antibody, dye, or radioisotope is added to a sample of cancer tissue to test for certain antigens. This type of study is used to tell the difference between different types of cancer.
- FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization): A laboratory technique used to look at genes or chromosomes in cells and tissues. Pieces of DNA that contain a fluorescent dye are made in the laboratory and added to cells or tissues on a glass slide. When these pieces of DNA bind to specific genes or areas of chromosomes on the slide, they light up when viewed under a microscope with a special light. The sample of blood or bone marrow is checked for HER2/neu to help decide the best treatment.

Seeking a three-peat
They've moved on now, wrapping up another school year, watching some of their teammates graduate and starting summer baseball.
But it doesn't take much to bring Weddington rising seniors Jeff Welch and Daniel Calabretta back to Greensboro, where they were among the Warriors to lead the program to its second consecutive 3A state championship.
The Warriors made history with the win, becoming the first baseball program in Union County history to win back-to-back state titles.
The thrilling 17-14, Game 3 win over Greenville Conley — one that went deep into the night and ended in a Weddington dog pile — was more than two weeks ago. For these players, it's been a delicate balance of moving forward into 2013-14 and sitting back and allowing the memories to rush forward.
"It probably won't sink in for me until the ring ceremony," Calabretta said of the event that will likely be held in August, during Weddington's home-opening football game. "You just get so busy. When I sit down and think about it, it hits me. But it's still pretty surreal."
Calabretta, a Duke commit, was the MVP of the championship series. In the deciding game, he went 4-for-4, hitting for the cycle, reaching base in all six at-bats and scoring four runs.
The leadoff batter and shortstop was at East Carolina over the weekend for a summer league tournament. He's continuing to polish his skills, to log innings and take swings, as a larger goal looms.
Calabretta and Welch have two state championship rings. Now they're part of a small, select group of players going for a three-peat next season.
"That's obviously going to be something even crazier than going back-to-back," Welch said. "I think we can do it. We have the talent. We have a hard-working team, a great coach. We're going to just go about our business.
"I've been talking with some of the other guys since the season ended, and we're really excited about this."
The excitement stems from the arms Weddington has coming back. The Warriors persevered with their three top arms — Clemson signee Alex Bostic, UNC Charlotte signee Jeremy Schellhorn and Virginia commit Sean Collins — sidelined at various instances with injuries. Bostic and Schellhorn, the projected ace and closer, each pitched in only a handful of games.
Collins, though, missed time during the middle of the season, but got healthy for the postseason. He became the ace, and No. 2 guy Landon Kay helped pack a formidable punch.
Both starters return, and pitchers who logged more innings than expected due to the team's injuries — guys such as Paul Brocklebank and Cameron Smetak — will take on increased roles.
"Having our top three pitchers being out for almost the whole season, we just all had to rally around them," Welch said. "We knew we had some other talent on the team, and we knew that we could make a run. There's a lot of underclassmen that we relied on and we're all excited about coming back."
Both of Weddington's state titles came at the conclusion of a season in which the Warriors did not win their conference title.
The Southern Carolina 3A/4A split league produced some outstanding baseball teams the past four years. Weddington's new league will be even tougher with the addition of Piedmont and Cuthbertson.
Both of those Union County schools are stocked with talent, and Piedmont not only beat Weddington as a 2A team in 2013, the Panthers went on to win 30 games and the 2A state championship.
And of course, Marvin Ridge — the team that did win the league title the past two seasons — is in the Warriors' conference, and returns a loaded lineup.
"It's going to be a tough conference," Calabretta said. "We'll have two state champions in that one conference, and of course Marvin Ridge is always good. It's going to be difficult. But if we have everyone just do their job, and us juniors step up as leaders, then we'll have a chance."

Firefighting Jokes
April 6th 2011 02:37
A man who worked at a fire hydrant factory was always late for work. When confronted by his boss the man explained:
"You can't park anywhere near this place!"
An excited man calls the fire department and says, "Help me, my house is on fire!!"
The man replies, "I am too excited, I can't tell you the exact address."
The fireman asks, "How do you expect us to get there?"
The man replies, "What do you mean 'how'? The big red truck."
A fire started on some grasslands near a farm. The county fire department was called to put out the fire. The fire was more than the county fire department could handle. Someone suggested that a nearby volunteer bunch be called.
Despite some doubt that the volunteer outfit would be of any assistance, the call was made.
The volunteers arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck. They rumbled straight towards the fire, drove right into the middle of the flames and stopped!
The firemen jumped off the truck and frantically started spraying water in all directions. Soon they had snuffed out the center of the fire, breaking the blaze into two easily-controlled parts.
Watching all this, the farmer was so impressed with the volunteer fire department's work and was so grateful that his farm had been spared, that right there on the spot he presented the volunteers with a check for $1,000.
"That ought to be obvious, " he responded, wiping ashes off his coat. "The first thing we're gonna do is get the brakes fixed on our fire truck!"
How Firemen do it...
Firemen are always in heat.
Firemen do it wearing rubber.
Firemen do it with a big hose.
Firemen do it with a lot of heat.
Firemen find them hot, and leave them wet.

Episode 3 is out (for PSN at least) and first off, holy fuck. I've never been this emotionally invested in a game before. Episode 3 lacks the real gut punch ending that Episode 2 had but it definitely has it's fair share of "everything is fucked" moments. So, what did you choose?
Did you shoot the girl in the street?
I shot her and thought it was a pretty obvious choice. It was either a quick, painless death or get eaten by walkers. Kenny has emerged as a compete and utter piece of garbage and I regret ever siding with him on anything.
Did you abandon Lilly?
Fuck yeah I did. I was SEETHING when she shot Carley. It probably wasn't the "right" choice and it was made purely out of anger but goddamn, I was angry. Carley was the one person in the group who I could trust at all and at the moment, it felt like me and Clem were truly alone. Her death was the one point in the series so far where I put my hands to my face and let out a literal gasp.
Did you fight Kenny?
Once again, fuck yeah I did. I'd been waiting to kick Kenny's ass for the entire episode and he deserved every bit of it. He was so quick to kill Lilly's dad was he was bit but when it came time for him to man up for his own family, he refused to face reality.
Did you shoot Duck?
I let Kenny shoot Duck. I didn't want to get involved in something that really had nothing to do with me and I certainly didn't want Kenny to use the fact that I killed his son against me. I saw Kat killing herself coming from a mile away but man...that was rough.
Did you help Omid?
I did but it wasn't really a conscious decision. I kind of just acted without thinking and grabbed the first person I saw. I'm not sure if he would have died if I had saved Christa first but I stand by my choice. Omid was injured and she wasn't. Simple.

They most DEFINITELY need a 'check all as read' feature. Having to mark them all, one by one as read is ridiculous.
Also, I have mine set to show the latest 50 emails. Well, a decent amount is spam, so when I delete one of these 50, an older email is pulled it to reach my quota of 50. A lot of times this is spam. I wish it would not pull in older emails or give me the option not to. Does that make sense?
Kent's Weekly Rant: Episode 2
On Tuesday Apple released a system update for iPhone that claims to have fixed a number of undisclosed bugs. Like nearly every other iJunkie I eagerly plunged into the installation process, anxious to learn what performance tweaks might await. My initial hope was the unrelenting Mail issue I lamented about had been fixed in this release, and I think some have. But not all.
The one glaring glitch that still rears its ugly head time and again is what I jokingly refer to as Looky lockup. If the iPhone is put to sleep when Mail app is left running in the foreground, checking multiple mail accounts for new email, the device may awake to a blank screen and remain in that state for several seconds. It is annoying beyond words, and can be a true detriment at times when I need to make phone calls. I posted an image below to show you all what this looks like.
Now before anyone clamors that my problem is entirely isolated, I have a whole bag filled with "Oh heeeeeell no!", so don't bother swinging that cat by its tail. I know my case is not unique because at least one acquaintance sees similar behavior from his iPhone, and several readers have submitted their experiences and feedback as well. While I am in no way claiming it to be common, it is out there.
So this weekend I'll be flashing my memory (on the iPhone that is) and resetting the device in hopes that whatever gremlin is eating away at OSX's inner code is eradicated. We shall see.
My unease over Mail doesn't stop there. On the whole it feels like a half baked piece of software. It lacks so many basic core features that it seems Apple threw this app in at the last minute, as if it were an afterthought. You can't mark messages as read. You can't save image attachments. Exchange ActiveSync and DirectPush aren't supported. Messages can't be flagged. No mass delete function exists. You can't send attachments from the composition window, thanks to iPhone's hidden file system. A field for blind courtesy copy (BCC) isn't offered.
Even the interface is poorly thought out. Returning to the mail Accounts screen requires backing out of the current inbox or folder, one tap at a time. Apple should include a home button in the UI enabling instant return to Accounts, as a shortcut.
The best solution for introducing more advanced features into the interface might be a popup toolbar toggled by gesture or a simple icon located where the Edit button resides now. This would have the dual advantage of saving precious screen real estate when unused, and delivering a floating tool palette when needed.
Ironically even in this incomplete state, Mail continues to rise head and shoulders above all other Smartphone platforms in delivering true rich email. Viewing any message on the iPhone is no different than viewing it on a PC or Mac, and that is a huge leap forward for mobile messaging, which until now has been expressed as primitive raw text with hideously rendered fonts. Apple got that part of the equation right, with brilliant flair.
Despite my discontent I feel confident that once Apple tackles these shortcomings and refines Mail, making it into the app is was intended, or certainly needs to be anyway, it will stand as the absolute pinnacle of mobile email. My inbox is waiting.

EMS worker accused of drug theft
A former Union County paramedic is being investigated by the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation for taking morphine from ambulances.
Joey Dahl is under investigation by the SBI's Diversion and Environmental Crime Unit after morphine was taken from ambulances and replaced with saline, N.C. Attorney General Spokeswoman Noelle Talley said Friday.
No charges have yet been filed.
Union County contracts with Carolinas Healthcare System, which owns and operates Union County EMS. Though funded by taxpayer money, Union EMS is a private entity and not subject to the same open records laws as governments.
Union County EMS interim director Scott Shew would not comment on the allegations, but referred all questions to CHS corporation communications. Calls to CHS were not returned by press time.
CHS issued a statement that officials are cooperating with the investigation, reports Enquirer-Journal's news partner WSOC. It also reported that CHS would not answer any questions about Dahl, how the alleged thefts were discovered, if any patients were mistakenly injected with saline instead of morphine and if Dahl was fired or resigned.
Dahl was profiled on the N.C. Community Colleges website in December 2011. It states that Dahl worked in a large corporation's engineering department for 14 years when he decided to enter the medical field. He started as a transporter for CMC-Union and took emergency medical training classes at Southern Piedmont Community College. He planned to go to nursing school but became a full EMT with Union Emergency Medical Services.
The N.C. Community Colleges webpage had been taken down by Friday, but was still accessible through internet archives.
Morphine acts as a relaxing agent to victims of trauma. People receiving a placebo instead of the drug can go into shock and die, according to WSOC.

Only thirty percent of Americans could answer the following questions correctly.
If you have $100 in a savings account and the interest rate was 2 percent per year, after five years, how much do you think you would have in the account if you left the money to grow? A) more than $102; B) exactly $102; C) less than $102; D) do not know.
If the interest rate on your savings account is 1 percent per year and inflation is 2 percent per year, after one year, would you be able to buy A) more than, B) exactly the same as, C) less than today with the money in this account, or D) do not know?
Answer the following true or false. "Buying a single company stock usually provides a safer return than a stock mutual fund." A) true; B) false; C) do not know.
The correct answers are A, C and B. It's pretty shocking considering the complex financial minefield Americans must travel. But I wonder if financial literacy is just more snake oil. Think about it, we teach reading, writing and arithmetic for 12 years so it's doubtful a one semester course in high school helps very much.
It's not what you don't know that causes financial harm but what you know that's not so. Seventy percent of Americans rate themselves with above average financial acuity despite the plain evidence, see results above. Taking a financial literacy course or being a CNBC zombie leads to overconfidence and oft times poor results. Despite the elderly having lower scores, perceived financial awareness increases with age.
Perhaps we are hard-wired to make poor financial decisions. In the 1970s, a Stanford researcher tested preschoolers' willpower. He put them in a room with one cookie and told them they would get another one if they didn't eat the first one before he returned. Only a third could resist temptation. Years later he followed up and found the ones who resisted eating the treat tended to make better financial decisions throughout their lives. A
The financial literacy movement is funded by the same bunch benefiting from Americans' lack of financial literacy: the financial services industry. Capitol One on one hand offers financial literacy while on the other hand extends high-fee credit cards to the least credit-worthy. On the subject of financial literacy, look at financial industry CEOs whose companies were bailed out by
Americans' lack of financial awareness has been blamed for our historical low savings rate, our increasing reliance on credit cards and woeful retirement underfunding. But back in the 1950s no one was studying financial literacy. Back then people made enough money to afford saving eight and 10 percent. Sometimes life throws you curveballs you can't reach. Bankruptcy is not a sign of character flaw but maybe one bad decision at the wrong time. Blaming Americans for their lack of financial literacy could be an industry smokescreen. (First in a two part series)
