Festival aims to bring back community spirit
Posted: November 03, 2012|
AN Exeter community is determined to put itself on the map by holding a music, arts and sport festival next year.
If all goes to plan the festival, set for next September, would involved the whole of St Thomas.
Already signed up to take part are the St Thomas Gospel Choir and the jazz band from West Exe Technology College.
All schools in the West Exe area are being invited to take part and early plans include a community stage with a two-hour open mic session.
A five-a-side football tournament is likely and there are plans to take over an empty property in Cowick Street to be used to display community art.
Behind the venture is the newly formed St Thomas Community Association.
Its chairwoman Claire Hadfield said: "There are lots of events planned for the park, with lots of different community groups taking part.
"The idea is to celebrate what goes on in the St Thomas community, which will hopefully encourage others to become involved too."
The aim is for all the events to be free and the organisers are to apply for community grants from the city council to help cover the costs.
The organisers are particularly keen for all the primary schools to be involved – either the pupils themselves performing or for each school's parent teacher association to join in.
The idea started with a group of people living in St Thomas who have been talking about such an event for three or four years, believing the ward lacks a focal point."
The idea has grown from this group with local councillors encouraging the plans.
Cowick city councillor Heather Morris said: "This is an event very much led by the newly formed St Thomas Community Association and I'm keen for it to be a success. I shall certainly be lending my support to the event. I hope it helps bring the community feel back to St Thomas and becomes an annual event."
Pubs too are expected to join in, providing live entertainment in the evenings.
The festival will be held over a weekend in September 2013. The next meeting to discuss the festival plans will be on Sunday, November 11 at 3pm in Cafe @ 36 in Cowick Street.

Re: The Hunted (nBSG)
Mathias waited until everyone at the table had quit flooding Lee Adama with questions and then he stood. I hope all of you enjoyed the meal, he said to the commanders of the various ships, and the discussion. At 1000 hours tomorrow, we will make the first of eight jumps that will bring us to the rendezvous point with
and her fleet. As we speak, Lieutenant Agathon is working with our navigators to get the coordinates plotted and enteredthere is
margin for error here. Entering incorrect coordinates will send your vessel to a far distant destination with no hope of being recovered.
He paused and let that sink in. Ladies and gentlemen, it is up to you to make certain that the coordinates are checked, double-checked, and checked again. I have no intention of losing any ship on this operation, Mathias said. We
will not
leave behind any ship on this operation. Is that understood?
He waited until each commander nodded in turn.
We will make one jump every day and perform a full system diagnostic on the FTL drives between jumps. While the Cylons routinely do jumps of this length, the Colonial Fleet has not. I want to be damned certain that everything is functioning properly.
, and
will deploy a rotating CAP at twice the normal strength on each leg. If all goes well, Mathias said with a smile, then in nine days we will be rejoining the remainder of humanitys survivors.
He raised his glass, and first Colonel Jayne stood, and Major Caldwell, then Commander Adama, and Colonel Foeswan, and Jon Namer, and all the rest.
Who dareswins! he snapped.
So say we all! thundered Tom Jayne.
SO SAY WE ALL! the others shouted in answer.

Updated: 10/12/2012 1:50 PM KSTP.com By: Kate Renner
The University of Minnesota Board of Regents voted unanimously to freeze tuition rates for in-state undergraduate students for the 2014-2015 school year.
The vote was a part of approving President Eric Kaler's biennium budget.
The budget ties state funding to this tuition freeze.
The university will ask the legislature for $14.2 million each year, in exchange for a hold on tuition.
"This is an extraordinary bargain we're offering," said Clyde Allen, U of M Regent.
According to the Board of Regents, the idea is to link state funding to the university's achievement.
The state will be allowed to withhold $ 11.5 million if the U of M doesn't meet certain requirements; like awarding more degrees and increasing financial aid.
"This specific commitment to accountability that we are offering up, not because it's demanded of us necessarily by any other body, but because it's appropriate for us to be accountable to the people who fund us," said Laura Brod, U of M Regent.
The U of M will now submit its request to the state by Monday.
That proposal will be discussed during the 2013 legislative session, and will need approval from the state.

Joshua A. Stevens
A 19-year-old city man has been charged with attempted murder after a shooting early Tuesday morning in an Austin Springs Road apartment complex that left one person with a bullet wound.
Joshua A. Stevens, 293 Austin Springs Road, Apt. 95, was arrested after he fired several shots at his apartment complex, police said.
Police were called to the complex just after midnight on a report that several shots had been fired in the parking lot during an argument. One person received a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Stevens was charged with attempted 2nd degree murder, reckless endangerment and possession of schedule IV narcotics for resale.
Johnson City Police Sgt. Don Shepard declined to release the victim's name or say what kind of drugs were involved.
Stevens was jailed in the Washington County Detention Center on $200,000 bond with a Sessions Court hearing set for Wednesday.
The investigation was continuing police said.

The staff of Maine Food & Lifestyle got together to reminisce about the summer that was and their most memorable meal of the season.
Jim Bazin: Hmmm…that's a tough one for me…but only because I had so many terrific meals this summer. I would have to isolate two events that I was fortunate to participate in as a food judge. The first would be the Lobster Chef of the Year event at the Blaine House, where I participated as a judge, and got to sample the competitive entries as prepared on site by five competition finalists, all of them excellent Maine Chefs. My personal favorite was the Maine Lobster Salad, as prepared on site by Zeph Belanger, the Sous Chef of Camden's fabulous Hartstone Inn.

Word Coinage: 'leopard spotting'
"Leopard spotting" on a Kesté pie. Friend of Slice Pizzablogger uses a word from the pizza-crit lexicon that I've never heard before: leopard spotting, obviously a reference to the little blisters of charred material along the pizza's end crust (or cornicione). Usage: "I think the quattro formaggio looks very lame, although it has more leopard spotting on the outer edge of the cornicione than the other pictures, which is what I personally prefer." Pizzablogger picked up the term from Paulie Gee.... More

DESCRIPTIONThis module extracts a 2D lattice from a 3D lattice, or a 1D lattice from a 2D lattice in index space. If the lattice is indexed by I, J, and K, (or by I and J if it is a 2D lattice) the default settings will extract a lattice of constant I. That constant value can be changed by using the Slice Number parameter.
The output can have different coordinate representations. To retain the proper orientation of a two dimensional slice in a three dimensional volume, or a one dimensional slice (a line) in a two dimensional area, curvilinear coordinates are output by default. The number of coordinate variables in the output is the same as the dimensionality of the sliced lattice - that is, they can be displayed in the same space.
Alternatively, if desired, the output may have the same coordinates as the input lattice. When in this mode, the number of coordinate variables in the output is one less than the dimensionality of the sliced lattice. The type of coordinates (input, perimeter, curvilinear) of the output lattice is the same as the type of the coordinates of the input lattice.
Port: Input
Type: Lattice
Constraints: 2..3-D
This is the input lattice. It can be two or three dimensional.
Port: Axis
Type: Option Menu
Menu Item: I Axis
Menu Item: J Axis
Menu Item: K Axis
This parameter selects which index is held constant. The third option (K Axis) does not appear if the input lattice is two-dimensional.
Port: Slice Number
Type: Slider
This selects the constant value of the appropriate index.
Port: Coord Type
Type: Radio Box
Menu Item: Curvilinear Coords
Menu Item: Same Coords as Input
This selects the type of output coordinates - curvilinear (when the number of coordinate dimensions is the same as the dimensionality of the input lattice) or the same coordinates as the input lattice (when the number of coordinate dimensions is one less than the dimensionality of the output lattice).
Port: Slice
Type: Lattice
Constraints: 1..2-D
This is the extracted lattice.

Reasonable for what? Trade in? then no. Dealers use Manhiem auction data when setting that value. For private sale? Just do a search and see what others are pricing your car at and set the price accordingly.
May we be blessed by His noodly appendage and His almighty sauciness.
Take average or fair and subtract 2k from it. Or from Autotrader, take the for sale price and take at least 6k from that and that should land you what the dealer is going to offer. The more expensive the car, the more variance you can see.
Today's search on autotrader country-wide showed only 1 CPO 2012 550i xdrive. That can't be used as the base of the value of a trade--question why.

Would you pay the kelly blue book for a new car? Short answer, NO!
KBB Trade in = Real Private party price
KBB trade minus ~10% = Real trade in
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
~ 15 M4 (My new daily beater)
~ 14 335 (Hers)
- Previous BMW's - Way too many to list here (20)
Like others mentioned, dealers will use recent Mannheim sales to set a price. But I have always found if you use the lowest KBB trade-in price (I think is is called "fair" condition), that gets you in the ballpark of what Mannheim is. For your car the KBB in fair condition is about 28,000.
~ 15 M4 (My new daily beater)
~ 14 335 (Hers)
- Previous BMW's - Way too many to list here (20)
I agree that KBB is often overly optimistic in its pricing BUT my recent experience tells me that just like real estate, its all local. When I made the deal for my new X5 instead of trading my 2012 S4 in , I decided to try and sell it myslef. My backup plan being I can always trade it in for 40 I had it detailed and took some nice pics. Threw it up on Craigslist and Autotrader. Had a couple nibble from each over a 6 week period. almost had a sale for 45K from a guy down in the Bay area but he ultimately went with an 11 for 43K that was near his house. I live i Portland.
After weeks of this and no serious offers above 43, I decided to give the local dealers one more try. I called both local audi dealers and got quotes. I made the drive to one so they could inspect it. Trade i value per KBB at the time was 45.3 if Excellent and 44.4 if good. I had a previous off from the BMW dealer where I ordered my X5 of 40K. This was based on recent Manheim auction prices. The GM showed me the screen and I confirmed with another friend of mine who has a broker license. The two local Audi dealers came in at $42.5 and $44.3. I called BMW and told them what I had. GM punched some keys and came back a minute later and said he'd give me 44 but had to be that weekend. I told him I would be w/out a car if I did that and he said "no worries, I will put you in a loaner until your X5 arrives." So, I have been driving a 2013 528Xdrive for the last 3 weeks courtesy of Kuni BMW. It had 500 miles on the ODO when they gave it to me.
In my case, I got KBB trade in value on my 2012 S4 from a dealer. Now, their first offer was 40 but when I said "is that all you got" they gave me 44 and a loaner for a month. I am more than pleased with how it worked out. Of course they now have the S4 on their website for 52. which is 2K more than I paid for it but C'est la vie. Doubt they will get 52 for it but they will probably get 48 so its a win win for both of us. My cost of ownership on that S4 was less than 6K for 19 months and 18,500 miles. Not bad on a 56K car.
Of course YMMV!
2013 X5D Space Grey, Oyster, Prem, Sports Act, AD, EPS, RBoards, Space saver, 19's!
2012 S4, Monsoon, 6 speed, Prem+ , Rear sports diff, B&O, Carbon, 19's Gone but never forgotten. traded in for the X5... nicest V-6 i've ever driven
2005 Audi allroad, Loaded, gone and definitely not forgotten.
^^^ Agree, there are LOCAL factors and MODEL factors, that can influence.
But I think the KEY is that you must do yoir homework. Most people go to KBB and think "OK, there I go".... IMO, KBB slants numbers to help sell cars for more money. I mean if you look at the unholy relationship between kbb, edmunds, etc, they all serve their advertisers! It may not be an overt influence, but rather a bias... but it is there. If you were to take 100 cars traded in and survey people with 'how close did you get to KBB trade, (assuming you didnt pay MSRP for the new car)?", I'd bet the vast majority will say "I got under KBB for my trade"
jonny, you were an exceptionally educated buyer...but you know that.
PS Where's it at?????
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
Agree with everything you said. KBB is just a number and all of these "car value" sites really can't be taken seriously. My neighbor is the GM at the local Ferrari dealer. They also have an Audi store under their corporate umbrella. Great guy. Really smart and down to earth. He helped me a great deal as did the folks on this forum. He said not to pay attention to KBB or Edmunds or anything else. As one would suspect, a car is only worth what someone else is going to pay you for it at any given time. He said S4's were selling 2K back of book which was around 42-43K at that time. He was pleasantly surprised that I got 44 and said as much. He couldn't pay that b/c his dealership couldn't afford to take the risk. That was based on their current mix of used cars for sale. Next month that could be different. Its a very fluid thing.
My advice to anyone is do your homework And focus on your local area only. In my case, low mileage late model S4's are not a dime a dozen and a somewhat desirable car which played into me maximizing its value. That said, 2 of 3 dealers initially offered me 40K for the car and the other one 42. These were not trades but straight sales. Only after I let it sit for a couple weeks and then called them back was I able to get more. If you have , for example, a 2005 Honda accord in good condition, do a search on autotrader within 50 miles of your house or 100 miles. How many are there for sale? at what price? You wanna sell that Honda privately? be in the bottom 25% of those cars price wise. You want to trade it in? Take at least 10% off that number.
as Ard said, do your own homework and even then it is a crap shoot with a lot of variable involved. The mood of the dealer that day, their used car mix, your mood, your time etc etc. One of the things that has always worked for me is to be in control of the situation and have options. They hate it when you know something. They are trained to extract maximum value for themselves. If you don't have an idea of what that is to you, you will come out on the losing end every time.
True story. I have a friend who always takes what they offer on the first round b/c thats what they tell him the they will pay.A salesmans dream. He doesn't like saying no and he doesn't like dealing with sales people. He buys all the extra stuff and feels awful afterwards. He bought his last few cars by telling them the payment he wanted. He came to me for his next one and I have already negotiated via email a price for a new car that he is purchasing next month
Ard, my X5 is finally on a truck it left Oxnard Friday. Dealer does not do delivery on weekend so even if it arrived yesterday or today, I will not get it until tomorrow. I will post pics for sure and be around the boards. Thanks for all your help!

I have a recipe that needs mirin. I have looked everywhere for it but can't seem to find it. Does anyone know what I can use as a substitute?
Editor's Note: Mirin is a sweet cooking wine made from rice. Sake can be used as a substitute for mirin (with an added pinch of sugar). See one of our contributor's blog post on The Japanese Pantry for more information and our collection of Superfast Asian Recipes for inspiration.

I am frequently asked about the safety of director service. Below is the text of a short article I wrote for a forthcoming issue of a business publication.
Although the article is short and non-technical, I decided it was a good opportunity to start a discussion here on director service. I would enjoy a dialogue with readers on these issues, so please post comments or email or call me. I may write follow-up blog posts on issues that generate discussion.
D&O insurance is an essential component of the analysis of the safety of director service. "The 'Nuts and Bolts' of D&O Insurance," by Kevin LaCroix, author of The D&O Diary, is an excellent primer on the subject.
Here is the text of my article:
Disclosure dilemmas and legal problems are a reality of business, and shareholder lawsuits often follow.
So, is it safe to serve on a public company board of directors? The answer is easy: yes, it indeed is safe, as long as the director is conscientious and has appropriate corporate protections against personal liability.
Shareholder lawsuits are frequent, but outside director liability is rare. Shareholder litigation almost never affects the personal finances of outside directors, due to a combination of factors.
Yet, no director wants to be sued, so prevention of problems is key — the fewer problems, the less risk of litigation, and preventive measures actually establish substantive defenses to liability. In simple terms, the law expects directors to make sure that their companies have systems in place to prevent and detect problems, and to follow up on indications of a lack of compliance. Attention is essential. The Sargent Schultz defense ("I know nothing!") doesn't work.
Sarbanes-Oxley's certification requirements are central to a company's systems for compliance with the securities laws. Because of Sarbanes-Oxley, more work goes into internal controls, financial reporting, and other public disclosures than ever before, and more issues bubble-up and are addressed at the senior management and board level. Even though the burdens that these requirements have imposed are onerous, they have made outside directors' compliance with their oversight duties easier.
Legal compliance on matters other than disclosures is highly company-specific. In a nutshell, directors need to understand the company's legal risks, implement the appropriate compliance and reporting systems, and act to address problems as they are identified. Directors can easily satisfy their oversight duty if they understand their responsibility, ask the right questions and engage the right legal advisors.
If problems and litigation arise, directors have several protections against personal liability.
The most fundamental protection is an "exculpation," or "raincoat" protection in the company's corporate charter or articles of incorporation. In general terms, such a provision provides that directors shall not be liable to the corporation for money damages unless they acted disloyally, intentionally or in bad faith.
Corporate indemnification is a director's primary financial protection. Directors should ensure that the company's indemnification provisions are well-crafted and provide the maximum protection the law allows, and should ask a securities litigator to review them from time to time.
D&O insurance, of course, also provides important protections. Three points are important to keep in mind:

In the dark, subterranean bunker below UKNM Towers, Kai Cruz is on casting duty and is about to sling another hottie onto the well battered casting couch.... Most casting directors go pretty easy on first-timers, but Kai puts them through their paces there and then. What good's a pretty face if you can't perform, right? Kai also uses his position to feed his insatiable appetite for cock and arse and the steady stream of hopefuls keep him just about sated - until the evening... Just how far these lads will go to prove their worth is something he never tires of exploring, and given the chance to suck and ride Kai's porn star cock, most lads are more than willing to go anywhere he wants them to. Take first timer Josh Barnett for example, he thinks he can handle Kai Cruz and the two of them go at it like pigs in heat. Kai pounds Josh's tight willing hole, fucking the handsome young man every which way before unloading his hot jizz into Josh's hu ngry mouth. He got a sore arse and a face fu

Border Patrol Agents Offer Plan to Avert Furloughs While Cuttings Costs
Posted By Adan On April 15, 2013 @ 1:49 pm In Border Control & Illegal Immigration,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled

Washington Post

Border Patrol agents would be willing to give up time-and-a-half overtime pay if it meant they would not have to be furloughed as part of mandated federal spending cuts, their union president testified Friday.
National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told a House subcommittee that in exchange for giving up overtime pay, agents would want a two-step increase in base pay. But Judd said the government would still come out ahead.
"The reform I have just proposed saves tax dollars, reduces overtime pay and brings about financial certainty to both the Border Patrol agents and the agency alike," Judd said at a hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee's subcommittee on oversight and management efficiency.

The problem with the gold-standard deflation in the Great Depression was that Minimum Wage held wages artificially high. As such, many people simply were not worth the price set by the government, so no-one bought their labor. Only when the gold standard was dropped, and the dollar-denominated labor rates were allowed to increase above minimum wage.
BG Says:
February 23rd, 2012 at 1:04 am
I haven't watched the video, but I agree with Jack. Gold standard would be highly deflationary and extraordinarily bad for the economy.
Gold is too inflexible, as the supply of gold can never increase as fast as the global population (and total hours worked). If we, and the rest of the world, were on a gold standard, we would be paid in gold dust, as the price of gold would shoot to $100k or more per ounce because of its scarcity.
Ideally, the money supply should grow/shrink along with labor output, to keep prices perfectly stable.
But don't take this as a defense for the Fed either. Runaway government spending, enabled by the Fed printing presses, is a serious problem.

Chasing Mavericks (2012) quotes, list of the best lines, dialogues from this drama inspired by true story from Twentieth Century Fox . Which is scarier, huge Mavericks or code red Teahupoo?
CHASING MAVERICKS is the inspirational true story of real life surfing phenom Jay Moriarity (played by newcomer Jonny Weston). When 15 year old Jay discovers that the mythic Mavericks surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, is not only real, but exists just miles from his Santa Cruz home, he enlists the help of local legend Frosty Hesson (played by Gerard Butler) to train him to survive it.
|Movie Info
|Chasing Mavericks
|Release date
|October 26, 2012
|Drama | True Story
|Official Site
A big swell hits Mavericks only a few times a year
Will you be ready?
Live Like Jay!
Mavericks Wanted!
Legends start somewhere.
Gerard Butler, Jonny Weston, Elisabeth Shue, Abigail Spencer.
Based on the true story
What if you discovered an incredible secret?
What if you dared the impossible?
An unbelievable dream
An extraordinary journey
This fall, it takes a maverick to become a legend.
Jay Moriarity: Have you ever felt you are meant for something more, something bigger than you?
Jay Moriarity: I haven't told this to anyone, so you have to keep it secret.
Jay Moriarity: The biggest wave in the world, Mavericks is real.
Frosty Hesson: I don't believe in miracle.
Frosty Hesson: Fear and panic are two separate emotions. Fear's healthy, panic's deadly.
I want to ride that wave.
Frosty Hesson: That wave is a myth.
For a long time, people thought that the huge waves at Mavericks were just a myth.
That boy is gonna surf that wave anyway. Even if he died trying
Frosty Hesson: You gotta hold your breath for at least 4 minutes.
Frosty Hesson: What if I'm right
Frosty Hesson: This is about more than surfing, is about fighting one thing in life that set you free.
Frosty: What's going on inside of you, Jay? What are you afraid of? You've got a chance to change everything. Take it. This is about more than just surfing. This is about choices you make in life. This is about finding that one thing that sets you free. You need to believe in yourself or none of this matters.
Jay: You ever see something and you think that's the reason you are put on this earth?
Kim: What are you talking about?
Jay: The biggest wave in the world, Mavericks, it's real.
Frosty: If you want to get out there you got to forget about the pain. A wave like Mavericks will hold you down for minutes at a time. If you can't hold your breath for at least four minutes then you may as well not even paddle out.
Frosty: In 1987, I pulled an eight-year-old kid out of the surf. A few years later, I discovered our journey together was far from over.
Frosty: I know how good you are. I've seen you out there. You surf circles around those other kids. Those are normal waves. Surfing normal waves is about how you perform when everything goes right. Big wave surfing it's a different ball game. It's about how you perform when everything goes wrong. One bump off the face of that wave and you're hitting the water like concrete at 50 miles per hour. Then you got a thousand tons of water coming down on top of you. It's knocking you senseless, ripping you apart and pushing you down to a place that's so deep and so dark that you don't want to be there.
Jay: So why do it?
Frosty: Get out of here. I got work to do.
Jay: Train me then. Train me to ride it.
Frosty: Did you hear what I said?
Frosty (Gerard Butler) is a great mentor to Jay (Jonny Weston) in Chasing Mavericks.
Kim: Jay, why are you doing this?
Jay: Cause I'll know that I am alive.
Jay: I want to ride that wave.
Frosty: Untrained boys don't step into the ring against Mike Tyson.
Gerard Butler had to train in order to play surfer Frosty Hesson
Frosty: So you made it all of 30 yards. If you want to get out there, you have to make it through half a mile of this, just to get in position to Mavericks. So you've got to conserve all the energy you've got. All right, now let's take a look at what you missed. Now for some reason, you decided to paddle straight out into that mess. Now, take a look at the rocks over there. See what's happening with the current?
Jay: It's got nowhere to go.
Frosty: Nowhere to go but where?
Jay: Back out
Frosty: Back out, exactly. To a waterman, it's a conveyor belt.
Chasing Mavericks is set in beautiful Santa Cruz, California.
Brenda: That boy's going to surf that wave anyway, even if he dies trying. I mean, wouldn't you?
Frosty: I'm going to train you to survive cause I don't want it on my conscience.
Frosty: How is your father?
Jay: He wrote me a letter a few years back.
Frosty: What did it say?
Jay: I don't know. I never opened it.

Youth baseball/softball: Younger divisions open section tournaments beginning Saturday
Not yet teenagers, a group of local youth baseball players will get a taste of what it's like to be in the big leagues this weekend.
All-star teams from Greater Naples and North Naples little leagues hit the road Saturday for the start of their respective section tournaments. After winning district titles, the teams head to Venice to vie for the Section 6 crowns and spots in the state finals.
Greater Naples plays in the 9- and 10-year-old tournament, while North Naples is in the 10-11 field. While a road trip, complete with hotel stays and team meals, might be a new experience, coaches say it shouldn't be a distraction.
"My kids are set to go up there and play hard," said Rick Pearce, manager of the Greater Naples 9-10s. "They know exactly what we're going up there for. They're ready to go."
Two area softball teams also will compete for section championships this weekend, but they won't have nearly as far to travel. The Naples Rockets and Naples Queens, both part of the Naples Girls Softball Little League, play in their respective Section 6 tournaments at Cambier Park.
The Greater Naples 9-10s might be ready to go, but they'll have their work cut out for them Saturday. The all-stars open section play against a South Fort Myers team that dominated District 9.
The South all-stars went undefeated through the district tournament and outscored opponents 68-26 in five games.
North Naples also figures to face stiff competition in Venice. The 10-11 all-stars are hoping to ride a wave of momentum generated from the powerful push they used to win the District 27 title.
After losing the first two games of district play by a combined 19-0, North Naples outscored its final three opponents 27-3 to move on to section.
Coach John Pearce said most of his North Naples players were on the 9-10 team that breezed through districts last year, and might have been a little overconfident. Losing 15-0 in its first district game shocked the team back to reality.
"When you take a loss like that it makes you wake up and realize it's not as easy as it seems," John Pearce said. "Sometimes you have to lose a game first."
The Greater Naples 9-10s and North Naples 10-11s will be in four-team tournaments. Each team plays the other three once, and the team with the best record moves on to state.
The Naples softball teams play in three-team fields, but that won't make it any easier. Once you get to the section tournament, coaches say, every game is hard.
"All three of us are very well-balanced," said Queens coach Robert Iamurri about the Little League section. "Everybody has a good defense, so whoever has the off inning ends up losing the game. It could end up where everybody is 1-1."
If that happens, the section champ is determined by a tiebreaker. The team that allowed the fewest runs in its two games, then, would move on.
The Queens face Cape Coral and Lehigh in the 11-12 section. The Rockets play Fort Myers American and Bonita Springs in the 9-10 section.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Cases of West Nile continue to multiply in the Sooner State with more than 30 Oklahomans suffering from the virus so far this year.
Among the many cases is one of a 12-year-old girl who was already on immune suppressant medication for a skin condition and is also allergic to some antibiotics.
This made treating the preteen an up hill battle.
Sherry Fulton said, "My nickname for her is Sunshine because she's a social butterfly. She loves to meet people and sing."
April traveled to Texas with her family on a mission trip.
But the bright-eyed 12-year-old's demeanor changed in an instant.
"When we left Texas she could get out of the car and still talk to me but when we got back to Oklahoma she couldn't answer me and couldn't walk," says Fulton.
Sherry rushed her daughter to the hospital at 2 a.m. with a 103.3 temperature.
April said, "I remember having really bad headaches and my back hurting really bad and my legs being itching."
Everything else is a blur.
At first, doctors thought she had Rocky Mountain Tick Fever, then Meningitis then Encephalitis but ultimately it was West Nile.
"We were scared, just horrified because there's nothing you can do you just have to trust that God's in control."
She's been in the hospital since August 1st.
Her mother has been by her side the entire time and hasn't been able to work.
The church family they spend so much time serving now wants to serve them.
Pastor Ryan Abernathy, of West Metro Church, says, "What we want to be able to do as a church is to be able to say we love you, we value what you've done as a missionary trying to serve Jesus so we want to be able to help you out financially."
April is walking and talking again and refuses to let anything get her off track of good deeds.
She says, "I'm going to stay on that path, that path of serving. That's what you got to keep on doing."
And when you look at her smile, it's obvious why her mother calls her Sunshine.
Close friends believe all the medical expenses could bankrupt the family.
An account has been set up called Praying for April.

The original version (repeated in this instructable) consisted of sticks (bones) with numbers marked on them, but that's not so portable.
The process can, though, be repeated with pencil and paper.
In school, this method is suitable for classes of most ages who are getting to grips with multiplying larger numbers.
In the UK, KS2 and upwards.
Step 1: The grid.
For instance, if you are multiplying 748x43, you need a grid of 3x2 squares.
Draw diagonal lines across the grid (top-right to bottom-left), extending them to below the grid (see the examples in the images).
Write your numbers outside the grid (in the templates, I have drawn dotted-squares to show you where).
If you are not used to using the grids, or are just too lazy to draw them yourself, you can use the templates I have added to this Instructable.
The large sheet, with every size of grid on it, is a resource I created for my maths class, some of whom have poor motor skills, so can't draw straight lines without help.
Step 2: The easy bit.
Multiply each digit on the top row by each digit on the side column. This can mean doing quite a few calculations, but they are all simple.
If the result of a calculation has two digits, the "tens" digit gets written above the diagonal line, and the "units" digit gets written below it. For instance, 6x7=42, so write the 4 above and the 2 below (4/2).
If the result of a calculation is only one digit, write a zero above the diagonal line (2x3=6, so you write 0/6)
(You would not normally do this in coloured ink, but I have used it for clarity.)
eg 11 x 42 (forgive the layout - you can easily do this in your head)
_42 +
Too late to soften the hell that was my maths class at school, but I will certainly be using these techniques from now on, and teaching them to my children.

Fall-out from last year's highly publicised Northwest Airlines Airbus A320 overflight continues, with the US Federal Aviation Administration asking operators to address cockpit distraction through crew training programmes.
In October 2009 the Northwest A320 crew overflew Minneapolis by 240km (130nm) because they were using laptops for personal use and lost situational awareness, says the FAA.
In a formal "Information for Operators" bulletin, the FAA is asking operators to address cockpit distraction through formal training programmes, and to create a safety culture to control cockpit distractions.
"When there are two or more professionals on the flightdeck, they must hold each other to the highest safety standards. Allowing distractions is unacceptable," says FAA administrator Randy Babbitt.
After the incident the FAA revoked the air transport pilot certificates of each pilot. But in March the agency said the pilots could reapply for their licences in August, and the pilots dropped their appeal against the revocation. Current regulations allow for pilots with suspended licences to reapply one year after revocation.
Northwest and Delta Air Lines merged in October 2008, and obtained a single operating certificate in December 2009.

This product is something I never go without in the house and on trips. It is wonderful for burns, minor cuts and scraps, sunburn and sometimes I even use in on a plug pore or pimple. Antibacterial properties keep wounds from becoming infected and speed granulation of the tissue for faster healing and less scaring. Chris L. Inner Garden Path (tm) to Healing

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Johnny Jackson
About 100 students from around metro Atlanta will travel to Hampton this weekend to showcase their engineering talents.
The pre-engineering students -- making up about a dozen middle and high school robotics teams in Coweta, DeKalb, Forsyth, Fulton, and Henry counties -- are scheduled to compete in Dutchtown High School's first-ever, VEX Robotics Regional Competition Tournament on Saturday.
The tournament is sponsored by VEX Robotics of Innovation First, Inc., and is the first competition of its kind in Henry County, according to Anterro Graham, Dutchtown's pre-engineering instructor. The tournament will be held in the school's gymnasium, at 149 Mitchell Road, from 8 a.m., until 4 p.m.
The competition involves an obstacle course, in which robots, built by teams of students, are required to perform certain tasks and maneuvers, Graham said. The students' work in building the robots is judged based on various engineering criteria in programming, architecture, and functionality.
There were three such tournaments last year, between Florida and Georgia, according to Rick Folea, the regional support manager for the VEX Robotics. This year, there are 18 events throughout the two-state region, including Dutchtown's robotics event.
Folea said interest in robotics has grown since 2004, when VEX Robotics created the international robotics competition. He said participation in his region has increased by 400 percent, over the years, to involve hundreds of pre-engineering students.
"It's more than just building robots," said Folea. "The competitions build team skills, business skills, and organizational skills, in addition to all that other stuff."
He said the competitions are held in the months between October and April, each year, and are designed primarily to help connect the academic study of engineering concepts with their practical, real-world applications.
"This competition is an adjunct to that [academic study] to give them a goal and a reason to want to learn this stuff," Folea said. "And all of a sudden, it means something to them. I say, sometimes, that this is the only sports competition that these kids can participate in, in school, where every kid can go pro."
Students are given a different robotics challenge every year, at VEX Robotics tournament events held around the world, added Graham, the instructor at Dutchtown.
He said this year's events encompass the theme, "Clean Sweep," in which student teams create robots whose mission is to launch different color balls into an opponent's field. The tournament-like contest rewards first-place to the team with the least amount of balls left in their field by the opposing team.
Graham hopes his two Dutchtown teams do well at its home venue this year. Last year, the team placed fourth and sixth respectively at the state's lone robotics competitions in Rockdale and DeKalb counties.
He said winning teams in regional tournaments of more than 12 teams earn automatic invitations to international competitions. Teams can also earn points, based on their tournament placing.
The points, he added, count toward qualifying for the 2010 VEX Robotics Competition World Championship, held April 22-24, in Dallas, Texas. The international championship, now in its seventh year, will include top teams among more than 2,000 middle and high school teams worldwide.
"The end result of all this is that these kids will learn mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and manufacturing engineering, and they don't even know it," said Graham. "Our hopes are to get exposure in our area about robotics, so students can get excited about robotics as a career path."
Graham said more and more students are benefiting from the 5-year-old pre-engineering program at Dutchtown. The program serves 120 students in grades nine through 12, on four different skill levels.
However, few young women seem to be interested in pursuing potential professions in engineering fields, and none are currently on Dutchtown's robotics teams, he said.
"There's been a large push across the country to get young ladies, as well as young men, into non-traditional educational programs," he said. "For instance, we could have more men in nursing and more women in architectural design. Out of 120 students in the program, 10 percent are young ladies. I would like to increase that by 20-30 percent."

City lifts barbecuing prohibition at parks
SAN ANTONIO - Residents can once again fire up the grill at city parks.
A temporary prohibition on open flames was lifted Monday by city officials, effective immediately.
The prohibition, which included the use of propane, charcoal or wood barbecue pits, was a preventative measure due to severe drought conditions during the summer months.
Open flames continue to be prohibited at selected parks that have a Natural Areas designation. The parks include Friedrich Wilderness Park, Crownridge Canyon Park, and Eisenhower Park, which have thick, natural vegetation and have fewer water lines. The prohibition, though, has been lifted at Phil Hardberger Park and Walker Ranch Historic Landmark Park, which feature barbecue pits and family picnic areas.
Residents are urged to exercise caution and to be vigilant when barbecuing in the parks. Fire extinguishers, a bucket of water, or sand, should be kept in close proximity to any open flames, which should never be left unattended.
In addition, a smoking ban on park property has been lifted. But smoking is still not allowed at playgrounds and pavilions.

If spring comes as promised, contractors could begin setting up at the site of the first new Ames elementary school on Miller Avenue this week.
The Ames Community School Board approved contracts Monday with three prime contractors for the project.
That clears the way for Woodruff Construction, Kruck Plumbing & Heating and DeVries Electric to begin work.
Steve Lang, project director with construction management firm Taylor Ohde Kitchell, said if the weather is favorable, "contractors could begin setting up trailers and safety barriers," according to a release from the district.
Superintendent Tim Taylor said according to the release that the launch of construction is historic.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- March 28, 2001 -- Lisa Norling, professor of history and womens studies at the University of Minnesota, will bring her knowledge of the New England whaling industry in the 18th and 19th century to the University of Rhode Island next month.
Norling, a Visiting Scholar at URI, will give an illustrated lecture on "Captain Ahab Had a Wife: New England Women and the Whalefishery" on Wednesday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m. in Kirk Auditorium. She will also take part in a roundtable discussion of the humanities and maritime studies with URI faculty called "Humanities Afloat and Ashore." The discussion will take place Thursday, April 19 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. in the Galanti Lounge, Library. Both events are free and open to the public.
Norling has published a variety of materials on seafaring life. Her most recent book, "Captain Ahab Had a Wife: New England Women and Whalefishery, 1720-1870," was published in 2000 by the University of North Carolina Press. The book traces the New England whaling industry throughout the 18th and 19th centuries and reconstructs the lives of the "widows" left behind by the thousands of men whose voyages to distant seas sometimes lasted for up to five years. Norling also authored Iron Men, Wooden Women: Gender and Seafaring in the Atlantic World, 1700-1920 and numerous articles published in The New England Quarterly and other scholarly publications.
She earned her doctorate from Rutgers University and is the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships.
Her work connects to the scholarship of URI faculty in history, womens studies, marine affairs, sociology and oceanography. Norling will also speak to URI history classes during her visit to URI.
Norlings visit to URI is sponsored by the URI Center for the Humanities.

Stutes trust offers support
Posted: November 19, 2012|
The Histon Independent Supporters Trust has pledged to help the football club in any way it can following Friday's shock announcement that they would be unable to fulfil Saturday's Blue Square Bet North fixture at Colwyn Bay.
Histon's board is to meet professional advisers today to discuss the club's financial situation and with supporters beginning to fear the worst, HIST has issued a statement offering their support.
"The Histon Independent Supporters Trust board learnt of the Histon FC board's decision not to fulfil their fixture against Colwyn Bay when their statement appeared on the Histon FC website. This decision was taken without prior engagement or communication with the HIST board.
"HIST was established to support the football club by representing the views of its members and the supporters and fans of Histon FC.
"The HIST board would like to know how we can assist the club to resolve the situation and as always are available to the Histon FC board should they wish to call on our experience and skills.
"Once the full circumstances surrounding the current situation are communicated by the Histon FC board, the HIST board will consider how best to respond."

Priestly Portrait of Courage

Yes, they should lose their tax exemptions — I believe religious institutions […]

Step 1: My radial arm saw
Step 2: The original switch
The main reason I no longer use the original style switch is that it was no longer available through Sears parts depots just a few years after I purchased my saw. In addition, these switches lasted about six years for me and (at the time) they cost more than twice as much as the Radio Shack pushbutton switch I used to replace the original design. I am now on my 2nd switch from Radio Shack. The first one lasted 26 years for me!

Discussion: Please no more 8AM games SSUSA
I am in total agreement with that. We could start at 10 a.m. and the last game would be 6:30. Especially in Reno when it is still going to be pretty cold at 8 a.m.

Dave, this is Butch, I figure if it is going to be cold in Reno I might need some backup bats.
