After the four, four-team regions that comprise the R.I. boys' basketball open tournament were revealed, clever minds declared Region IV "The Blackstone Valley Invitational."
The folks at The Prout School may feel slighted with such a bold declaration, but look at the rest of the region's participants. Here you have two of the three division champions in Cumberland and North Smithfield along with Shea.
In other words, the moniker fits.
The Rhode Island Interscholastic League released the pairings Monday night after reviewing the Power Point standings and tie-breaking procedures for one last time. The region with the most local flavor is also the one that will use Roger Williams University as its opening-round site.
Thursday night's doubleheader on the Bristol campus will feature No. 5 North Smithfield vs. 12th seeded Shea at 6 p.m. followed by fourth seeded Cumberland against No. 13 Prout at 8. The quarterfinal winners will meet next Sunday at Providence College's Alumni Hall. The state semifinals will be Friday, March 8 at URI's Ryan Center and the final Sunday, March 10 at URI at 7:30 p.m.
Region IV holds the distinction as the only one not to feature a team hailing from Division I. All told, eight tournament bids were scooped up by Division I teams with seven going to Division II schools. North Smithfield will carry the torch for Division III as the Northmen seek to keep their magical season – one that's featured 24 wins in 24 opportunities – going.
This marks the third consecutive season that boys' basketball has staged an open tournament. St. Raphael captured the inaugural event in 2011 when the field featured 16 teams. Last year saw the field expanded to 30 teams with Central emerging as the victor.
"Having the divisional championships, that's very important, but this (open) tournament is gaining notoriety," said Shea head coach Matt Pita. "It gets better every year and I think (the RIIL) has found something that works."
In Region I, which will hold quarterfinal games Wednesday at Rhode Island College, you have top overall seed Classical against No. 16 West Warwick along with No. 8 Westerly taking on No. 9 North Providence. The Bulldogs-Cougars game tips off at 6 p.m. with the Purple-Wizards clash set for 8 o'clock.
Region II games are scheduled for Wednesday night at CCRI-Warwick and will see No. 2 La Salle take on No. 15 Bishop Hendricken at 6:30 p.m. followed by No. 7 Hope against No. 10 Coventry at 8:15.
Thursday night will see Region III swing into action with CCRI-Warwick featuring sixth seeded Mount Pleasant versus No. 11 Barrington at 6:15 p.m. with third seeded North Kingstown squaring off against No. 14 Cranston West at 8:15 p.m.

In February 2013 we sailed through the Cook Strait on the Rainbow Warrior, very close to where Texan oil company Anadarko wants to carry out high risk deep sea oil drilling in the Pegasus Basin.
We had just been to the Auckland Islands to draw attention to the best of what is at stake if we allow deep sea oil drilling to proceed. But as we sailed towards Wellington we were met by an enormous pod of dolphins and they reminded us that all around NZ we have an astonishingly rich ecology that is too precious to risk.So right there, on the bridge of the Rainbow Warrior, we made a pledge to resist, with every peaceful means available to us, the threat of deep sea oil. And we called Anadarko in Texas to tell them exactly that.This is a video of our message to Anadarko. You can take action by sending your own message to Anadarko here: http://act.gp/Yz65kiTogether we can Stop Deep Sea Oil.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- One of the most popular procedures for heart patients is becoming a same-day surgery.
10 years ago having a stent procedure for a closed artery meant five days in the hospital. Now, it's less than eight hours for most patients undergoing an elective stenting procedure.
"Hospitals are not places you want to be if you don't need to be there," says Dr. David Wohns, Medical Director of Interventional Cardiology at Spectrum Health.
Dr. Wohns says one of reasons why heart stenting is becoming a same-day procedure is because of the use of the wrist instead of the leg as a point of entry.
"If it's done from the leg there's a long period of bed rest, so it makes everything take longer. If it's done from the arm, people can get right up afterwards and walk around very quickly and it's easier to get them home safely the same day," says Dr. Wohns.
And sometimes within hours. Elective heart stent patient Debra Wade came in at 7:15 a.m. and by 1:15 p.m. she was ready to go home. That is a big difference from her first procedure in 2003.
"The first time I had depression and anxiety a lot more. And for some reason I was just like I want to go back home if I can please," says Wade.
And with approval from her doctor, Debra is on her way.
But there's another reason why same-day discharge is becoming popular: It saves money.
"There are savings associated with that and those are important as we look at our emerging health care costs, but before we pushed this at all we wanted to make sure it was safe for our patients," says Dr. Wohns.
About 35-40% of elective heart stent patients at Spectrum Health leave the same day.
For Debra it makes a big difference, "I think it takes a little bit of the anxiety out of the procedure it makes you feel a little more confident about jumping back into every day life sooner."
Same-day discharge for heart stent patients is a standard practice in Europe and Canada. Michigan's rate of same day discharge varies across the state.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate writer
The other day my grandkids were in their bedroom playing. They are four years apart in age so it wasn't long before a fight developed. The youngest used her normal weapon to try and win my long distance support-she screeched loudly for her sister to "stop it!"
Now I don't know what "it" was and I tried to do what I normally do in this kind of battle, ignore both sides. But the youngest one had a new card up her sleeve.
Her mom had given her an old cell phone to use as a MP3 player for music. Although it could play music, the phone was inoperable. But the camera also still works and she figured out how to make it shoot video.
So out she marched with the end of the fight recorded for posterity and evidence of her sister's wrong doing. This very blurry rendition of the fight included the screech at the end.
None of the beginning of the confrontation was included. Somehow the part where she kicked over her sister's Polly Pocket house because it was too close to hers was missing.
As a very experience child dispute lawyer, IE "mom", with over 30 years in the profession, I quickly realized this was incomplete evidence and would not be recognized in a court room. I ruled quickly and dismissed all charges against either party.
Not satisfied the youngest took to walking up and down the front side walk replaying the video over and over. I was sentenced to listening to the screech over and over again. I stepped in and confiscated the offending device and deleted the video.
Okay, actually I didn't know how to delete it and had to make her do it. She is five.
What a statement about the state of our lives and the way we get our information now-a-days. We certainly have more sources to use to access information. But we need to be more careful than ever about what we use to make our judgments.
Our information overload and the limited time we have to take it all in makes it easier for us to see the world through other people's interpretations and editing of the facts. There is so much taken out of context.
The more we rely on others to present facts to us, the more polarized as a nation we are getting. We need the big picture.
A sentence pulled out of a larger story or video that is only a piece of a bigger event really makes no sense unless you have the rest of the story. Oh, it may serve a purpose of making a point for someone to use as evidence to support their issue or make some one else look bad, but it is not necessarily the true story.
Look at issues important to you in the same way you look at the evidence presented to you by your kids when they have been fighting in the bedroom. If you do that you may see that there are many sides to the story.
And good luck with figuring out the whole truth. At least you tried.

Gov. Terry Branstad asked for a bright, shiny apple from the Legislature in the form of bold education reform this year. What legislators delivered this week looks more like a few seeds and some skin.
The centerpiece of the education reform package is aimed at making sure children are reading at grade level by the end of third grade. Early-grade literacy efforts had the most bipartisan interest going in to the session and showed the most promise. Its a worthwhile effort that could mean the difference between academic success and failure to many Iowa children.
Branstad wanted to make kids who couldnt read by the end of their third-grade year repeat the grade. In the meantime, struggling readers would have extra help. Branstads budget shifted money from class-size reduction and staff development to pay for reading help.
Democrats were enthusiastic about directing resources toward extra help, but they refused to take it away from the existing programs. They also didnt like the idea of flunking third-graders. They came up with a better idea, which the Legislature approved: Let parents choose between putting their child in an intensive summer-school program or holding him back a year.
The compromise: The Legislature created the early-literacy programs, but there wasn't any money provided to pay for most of it. They didnt even pony up for the summer-school programs that are supposed to save Johnny or Jenny from repeating third grade.
Legislators noted there is time to get the money together before the legislation takes effect. For the third-grade retention provision, thats not until the end of the 2016-2017 school year. They also hedged by writing into the bill that schools dont have to do anything new unless the state comes up with the dough. In other words, nothings going to happen unless next years Legislature can do what this one could not pay for their proposal.
What I see at work here is an attitude that is running through some other issues. Republicans are doing what they have to do to get out of session spending as little money as possible. They figure theyll be in charge of both the House and Senate next year, and they can do what they want. If that happens, any program approved this year could be stillborn unless Branstad chooses to fight for the money.
Democrats, meanwhile, have never been overjoyed by most of the governors education reform ideas. All along, they have groused that it is too punitive toward teachers, too focused on standardized testing, too vague or stingy on spending. Theyve used this debate mostly as a platform to talk about what theyd do if they were in charge.
Lawmakers also authorized a study on the school calendar, a task force on competency-based instruction, a task force on educator evaluation and some research into online learning issues.
Theres more, but you get the gist.
Half-measures, studies and task forces may fulfill lawmakers goal of getting out of session and getting out on the campaign trail. But it will not help a single child who will enter fourth grade next fall without the ability to read Where the Wild Things Are. That child will already be in eighth grade, and maybe in danger of dropping out of high school, before third-graders start having to either read or repeat the grade.
Branstad has not committed to signing the bill, but he probably will. He called it an important first step, with much work left to be done to give all students a globally competitive education.
Hes come out of the session with a few seeds, but next year hell have to persuade a whole new legislature to plant them.
Correction: An incorrect reference to funding for a literacy center has been deleted.

Scared of Receding Gums? Here's What You Should KnowWednesday, July 30th, 2014
Worried that your gum line is gradually eroding? There are ways to help.
Gum recession, where the margin of gum tissue that surrounds the teeth wears away, is a fairly common dental problem. Most people don't realize they have it because it occurs over a long period of time. However, when gums pull back and expose more of the tooth, pockets start to form between the teeth and the gum line. This makes it easy for disease-causing bacteria to accumulate.
Causes of gum recession
The first way to take action is to know what triggers gums recession.
Periodontal diseases: Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis (early stage gum disease) and periodontitis (late stage gum disease) are the main causes of gum recession. These bacterial gum infections destroy tissue and supporting bones that hold your teeth in place.
Aggressive tooth brushing: People who hold their brushes too firmly and scrub too hard or the wrong way may cause tooth enamel to wear away and gums to recede. It's also important to replace toothbrushes or tooth heads for electric toothbrushes every two to three months, since bacteria can start to gather on bristles.
Inadequate dental care: Not visiting the dentist enough combined with insufficient brushing and flossing fosters plaque buildup, which turns into tartar, the hard substance that can only be removed by a professional dental cleaning.
Genes: Due to genetic factors, some people are more susceptible to gum disease. Research suggests that 30 percent of the population may be predisposed to gum disease, no matter how well they care for their teeth.
Tobacco products: Cigarettes, cigars, chew and other tobacco products are a big culprit of gum disease, since the chemicals create sticky plaque that damages teeth. In addition, it may cause dry mouth, tooth decay and smoker's breath.
Hormonal changes: Varying hormone levels associated with life events such as puberty, menstruation, pregnancy or menopause can make gums more sensitive and vulnerable to gum recession. (more…)

Video: Buffalo Bills Release Stadium Renovation Renderings
ORCHARD PARK - Only six NFL stadiums are older than Ralph Wilson Stadium, which opened in 1973 and celebrated its 40th birthday this August.
The Ralph didn't receive any gifts for reaching that milestone, but at least it'll get a $130 million facelift when it turns 41. The Buffalo Bills released photos on Tuesday of the renovation plans for the 2014 season, which include everything from new scoreboards to bigger bathrooms to something called a "Super Gate."
"I think this renovation is going to get fans re-energized," said Marc Honan, the Bills' Vice President of Marketing and Broadcasting. "This is all geared toward the fan."
On the exterior of the stadium, the renovations will expand the perimeter, add a new team store on the Abbott Street side and create the phenomenon known as the "super gates," which will give fans a lot of shiny toys to look at when they walk into the stadium. The new gates will include video boards with Bills' highlights, and they're designed to be large enough to facilitate a quicker entry process to the stadium for fans.
The Ralph will also feature a new "lounge" with beer and food, free Wi-Fi service for the fantasy football fans and new scoreboards on the east side of the stadium. Honan said those two new scoreboards will make life easier for fans on the west end, since right now they have to strain their necks to turn around and look at the current scoreboard. That scoreboard will also see its own improvements under the renovation plans.
"The new east end boards will make it very easy," Honan said. "It's a quick look up."
According to the Bills' website, the size of the restrooms will increase by 22 percent, and concession stands will see upgrades as well.
The $130 million project is mostly taxpayer-funded, with the state and Erie County combining to contribute close to 75 percent of the funding. The Bills will cover roughly 25 percent of the costs, according to Erie County Public Works Commissioner John Loffredo.
"We have one of the oldest stadiums in the league. And dare I say, this area could not afford a one-billion dollar price tag for a new stadium," Loffredo said. "So renovating that existing stadium was probably the only option we have."

Aspects and aspect patterns
Before we look at the aspect patterns, it is worth looking through the aspect grid to see if there are any planets which make significant aspects to the angles, or which are unaspected or otherwise rather alone and unsupported by the rest of the chart. Can you identify any?
Audience: Mercury only has one aspect - a sesqui-quadrate to Saturn. That's all it does.
Audience: Venus is completely unaspected, apart from a trine to the Ascendant.
Audience: The Moon is trine the MC.
Audience: Uranus is only conjunct Pluto and opposite Chiron. It doesn't make any personal aspects, apart from being on the Descendant and opposite the Ascendant.
Audience: The same is true of Pluto, although it does square the MC.
Clare: Let's extract some general themes from these observations. Mercury is fairly isolated, so that makes it very important for Kate to find her voice. The sesqui-quadrate to Saturn indicates that she has a structured and disciplined mind, and may not feel particularly confident about speaking up, until she has considered her ideas carefully. The only outlet for Venus in Scorpio is through the Ascendant in Pisces, so there is a quiet, sensitive, and rather magnetic and attractive quality about the way Kate engages with the world.
Audience: Yes, I think that is certainly true from what we can see.
Clare: The Moon in Leo trine MC in Sagittarius indicates that she finds it easy to project her personality in the public arena and in her work. Public attention is food for her, and this might explain why she has offered her chart for us to discuss.
Kate: You may be right. I am really enjoying this opportunity to focus on me!
Clare: There are no personal planets associated with Uranus, which means that Uranus cannot really be incorporated or brought under ego control, or taken down in voltage. She is likely to experience Uranus as a particularly autonomous and possibly disruptive force, appearing to come from nowhere, without warning. This can feel quite shocking. Pluto squaring the MC/IC axis indicates that Kate is likely to find herself confronted by several radical changes of direction in both her public and private life. Now we need to see if we can find some aspect patterns, because they will contain important stories. What can you find?
Audience: Jupiter makes two quincunxes to Neptune and Pluto, so that is a yod.
Audience: There is a fixed T-square, with the Moon opposite Saturn and both square Neptune-Mars. There is also a cardinal grand cross, with the Sun-Jupiter opposition square the nodal axis.
Audience: There is a grand trine in water between Chiron, north Node and the Mars-Neptune conjunction.
Audience: Actually, there is a kite, because there are sextiles from this grand trine to Uranus and Pluto in Virgo.
Clare: There are lots of really nice aspect patterns here, with four major shapes emerging. Let's have a look at these separately, to see what they might mean.
With this yod, our attention is drawn once again to Jupiter, which I have just noticed is not only the chart ruler, but also rules the MC. This indicates that significant events are likely to occur in Kate's life that will focus on, and revolve around, her strong sense of self-belief and self-agency. In fact, it is not so unusual to have a yod that involves the Neptune-Pluto sextile, since this is a collective aspect which almost all of us will have in our charts, given that Neptune and Pluto move so slowly. But with Jupiter as the focus of this yod, we could imagine that Kate will give some kind of individual expression to the collective background into which she has been born. On a personal level, with Pluto in the 7th house and Neptune in the 8th, Jupiter will give her the strength and determination to survive the intense and possibly overwhelming issues which arise for her in relationships. The theme once again is the self and the other.
Audience: We can also bring in Mars and Uranus as well, can't we? Mars is conjunct Neptune, and Uranus is conjunct Pluto.
Clare: Yes, that's right, and there is an element of the freedom fighter around Mars and Uranus. This makes the Neptune-Pluto sextile rather more dynamic and active, and supports the self-belief of Jupiter.
You can see that both the grand trine in water and the kite are collective in their nature, and will be found in the charts of everyone born around this time in 1963, because there are no personal planets involved. However, we can explore how this generational pattern functions in Kate's own life by concentrating on the houses that are involved. Let's tease out the trine first, before adding the Uranus-Pluto conjunction. What kind of story does a Node-Chiron-Neptune trine suggest?
Audience: Is this about healing?
Audience: I would imagine that this is extremely sensitive and rather vulnerable, too. Neptune-Chiron is about devoting yourself to others, and with the Node there, it could indicate that this is your function and destiny.
Clare: What do you think Chiron in Pisces in the 1st house is about?
Audience: Perhaps a wounded sense of self. Some kind of identification with the wound or with healing. Longing to merge and to belong, but always feeling like an outsider.
Clare: The Pisces Ascendant is very exposed, because it has no personal boundaries. It is extremely sensitive and prone to absorbing the feelings and emotional states of others.
Audience: And the Node in Cancer in the 5th house, ruled by the Moon, indicates that Kate needs to care for herself, to learn to put herself first - although, with the Mars-Neptune conjunction in the 8th house, she will always be very sensitive to the needs of others.
Kate: I am certainly interested in the expression of subtle energies, including dowsing, energy healing, and shamanism. After a lifetime of being what others have labelled 'oversensitive', I am now comfortable with the idea that I just pick up energetic and emotional stuff from other people when I'm with them, and I need to find a way to work positively with this. One option is training to become an energy healer or shiatsu practitioner, but I'm held back by my fear of being overwhelmed by other people's energies. Energy-wise, I like to keep myself to myself. I'm interested in the Buddhist world-view and philosophy. It matters a lot to me to be able to fit work into my natural rhythms, as my energy level varies a lot - I can be buzzing one day and completely lethargic the next. And there are times when I just need to escape from all pressure, and I need to go with my own internal flow at those times.
Clare: This is a perfect expression of the Pisces Ascendant and Chiron in Pisces in the 1st house. Now let's put the Uranus-Pluto onto that and make it into a kite. What effect does this have on the grand trine? The emotional reservoir of the grand trine in water is channelled into earth, into Virgo. In this particular case, the connection to the earth function is quite disruptive, and will be constellated through Kate's relationships which, however difficult and personally painful, may well provide the kinds of experiences which eventually compel her to undergo a powerful transformation of her relationship to herself and to her body (Chiron in Pisces in the 1st house). Working with subtle energies in healing work sounds very appropriate and could certainly describe your Chiron path.
Fixed T-square
Turning to the fixed T-square, what are the themes around a Moon-Saturn connection?
Audience: A lonely childhood, and perhaps a lack of nurturing?
Audience: A feeling of being denied what we need?
Audience: A strict family background?
Clare: We are beginning to think along certain lines, which have to do with the Moon and Saturn. This opposition is on the axis of service, because it is across the 6th and 12th houses, so it is about the development of personal will and the surrender of personal will. Let's see if we can think of a story that might make this T-square easier to understand. T-squares often lend themselves to stories in which there are three characters, each of which has a part to play. The Moon in Leo, for example, might describe a princess or a queen. There is a need to be special, a sense of deserving praise and recognition for her talents and skills (6th house). With Saturn in the 12th house, we might imagine that this specialness is somehow hidden away, out of sight. This is almost like the fairy story image of the princess in the tower - of being particularly special and deserving of love and praise, but being trapped, imprisoned, and locked away in isolation. And Mars-Neptune might describe the masculine as rescuer and redeemer - so we might have a fantasy image around the masculine that might take the shape of a knight in shining armour.
Audience: This sounds like the fairy story about Rapunzel, who was trapped in a tower, waiting to be rescued.
Clare: Yes, that is a beautiful image, and probably very telling, too, since the Mars-Neptune conjunction is in the 8th house.
Audience: But Kate is also quite self-sufficient, so she could be the rescuer as well.
Clare: That's right, and it is likely that she will play all the characters in this fairy story at different times. There seems to be quite a bit of trapped or frozen anger caught up in this T-square, since it includes a Mars-Saturn square, which makes it difficult to act, as well as a Mars-Moon square, which can be very sensitive and defensive. In addition, the Moon-Neptune involvement is appropriate to the theme of romantic longing, sacrifice, and dreams of being rescued. This is a powerful configuration. It is also potentially gifted and talented, and the T-square will provide Kate with both the resistance and the determination to give shape and form to her talents.
Cardinal grand cross
Let's have a look at the cardinal grand cross, composed of the Jupiter-Sun opposition square to the nodal axis. We know that this is a dynamic, determined and self-contained aspect pattern. The Jupiter-Sun opposition emphasises the major relationship theme of self-other in this chart, being across the 1st and 7th houses and in the self-other signs of Aries and Libra. With the Sun in Libra in the 7th house, Kate will seek to find peace, harmony, balance and personal fulfilment through her partner. Jupiter in Aries will give Kate the energy and determination to stand up for herself if she finds that her relationship is out of balance in any way, or unjust, or if the balance of power is unequal. However, Mars and Venus, which rule Jupiter and the Sun, are both in Scorpio, so it is not quite as simple as that, and deep emotional struggles are likely to emerge in relationships, which will take her into her the emotional depths and bring any hidden issues to the surface. This is particularly uncomfortable for a Libran Sun, and Kate has Mercury in Libra as well, which is very rational and fair-minded. So she finds it particularly distasteful to find herself having to do battle with the dark and archaic and irrational forces of Scorpio which emerge in her relationships, although these are likely to be the agents of her own personal transformation and eventual empowerment.
Kate: I was twelve or thirteen when my parents separated and divorced and, over time, I have come to realise that this had a huge effect on me. When I eventually separated from my husband in 1988, many powerful feelings emerged which had been deeply buried until then.
Clare: In Cancer/Capricorn, the message of the nodal axis concerns the collective challenge to find a conscious relationship between neediness and dependency versus self-sufficiency and personal responsibility - between the child and the parent. And once again, this takes us to the Moon Saturn opposition, since the Moon and Saturn are the rulers of the Nodes. For Kate, this axis falls across her 5th and 11th houses, so we could say that it is Kate's destiny to discover and believe in her unique creative talents, and to offer them to the world in some way. With the Sun square the nodal axis, her unique purpose is to learn to believe in herself, and to develop her particular artistic talents - a theme which is supported by the Moon in Leo in the 6th house. With Jupiter square the nodal axis, we could say that, in spite of all the difficulties indicated in other parts of this chart, Kate may have a sense of being protected by the gods, since Jupiter often functions as a kind of personal guardian angel when it picks up the nodal axis. There is a strong sense of purpose and destiny in this cardinal grand cross.
We have now completed the general overview of the chart, and several important major themes have emerged. If we are preparing an interpretation for a client, the next stage would be to move on to an analysis of the specific details, which I have outlined in the Guide to Chart Interpretation. We might, for example, start focusing on the parental story, by examining the 10th and 4th houses and their rulers, Jupiter and Mercury, and at the detailed interpretation of the Sun and Moon, the parental significators. And a major focus when we are preparing a chart will be on the current transits, progressions, and so on, which tell us which parts of the chart are being activated at the moment, and therefore why the client is coming to see us. That is what we will be looking at next term. Do you get the sense that we have understood you?
Kate: You have certainly pulled together all the major themes in the chart in an insightful way, and yes, it has all been helpful - on all sorts of different levels.
Clare: Do you feel accurately reflected and mirrored?
Kate: I feel that you have reflected and mirrored my potential, but I feel that the actual reality is not like that yet. I am still in my midlife crisis, and feeling very restless and unsettled. Three years ago I let my house in London and went to live in Cambridge. Since then I have moved house nine times.
Clare: That must have been very difficult for you, because you are quite fixed by nature and, because of the lack of earth, you need to feel safe and secure. It seems as if your mutable angles have been particularly active during the last three years, and this is in fact supported by major transits to your angles.
Kate: I don't do so much on the creative side. I see myself more as a crusader, because I am a charity fundraiser at the moment and I actually go door to door to raise money. That is something I love.
Clare: So you use your courage and crusading energy in the service of and for the benefit of others?
Kate: That's right, and it is important for me that the training and ethos of the company I work for is very ethical, and that everything is done with the right attitude.
Clare: Presumably it is important for you to do something you believe in, with Jupiter ruling both your chart and the MC.
Kate: I certainly think I am moving in that direction now. I used to work in very safe, structured jobs, but I am now finding I can only work in more fluid jobs. There has been a gradual progression from trying and failing to fit myself into structured jobs, to freer work where I can be myself more, and follow my spontaneous inclinations.
Clare: Do you feel that you are beginning to develop more self-confidence?
Kate: That's a really big one. The fixed T-square is quite a difficult pattern, so it is a rather slow process.
Clare: What about the theme of self and other - do you feel that dichotomy?
Kate: Absolutely. Basically, I seem to have a pattern of being taken over by the feelings and moods of others, and by their drive and energy, and then I have to fight to become myself again, and I sometimes think I am too strong.
Clare: So you have had to get quite tough and learn how to fight for yourself?
Kate: Yes. I really feel that.
Clare: And now you know that you have the courage and determination to stand up for yourself when necessary.
Kate: Yes, but it feels like there are two very separate parts of me - the Saturn-Moon T-square part and the Jupiter part, and they can each come out at different times.
Clare: What sort of charities do you fundraise for?
Kate: Overseas development charities.
Clare: That's perfect, with your Jupiter ruler and Sagittarius on the MC. Is that something you are passionate about?
Kate: Yes, particularly the one I am working for at the moment, which is raising money for community projects abroad.
Clare: This is an absolutely beautiful expression of your cardinal grand cross, and of the nodal axis, which is both concerned with your personal contribution to community work. Do you feel you have a special gift for this?
Kate: No, but it is something I just think I can do naturally. There is a kind of conflict. My personal interests are more creative - I sing in a harmony group, and we do concerts and that kind of thing, so I'm not too sure. Sometimes I think I should be developing that more, but my work always seems to be about communities and groups.
Audience: The nodal axis is also about doing creative stuff for yourself as an individual, versus the work you do for others.
Audience: Neptune is also about music, and Mars-Neptune can be the expression of music.
Clare: And the Moon in Leo wants to perform, to sing and to play music - to express itself joyfully. The themes of individual self-expression and service to the community or to the collective do seem to be strong in your chart. And it feels as if these two things are separate at the moment.
Kate: Yes, they feel separate. My creative outlet at the moment is my singing. I don't play an instrument, but I study music theory because I am interested in composition. During my twenties, I did some creative writing and article writing, and I would like to pick this up again at some point. All this has disappeared since the beginning of my mid-life crisis, and I am lacking a direction.
Clare: These are particularly appropriate expressions of the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Libra. But I definitely get the sense that you are not feeling as optimistic as your chart indicates.
Kate: In a way, I do, but I am still struggling, and I feel very vulnerable at the moment. It is a hard journey without any earth in the chart!
Audience: What about the strong emphasis on the 7th house and on relationships?
Kate: It doesn't mean that I have had wonderful intimate relationships. I have been on my own for the last three years, and have found it difficult to enter into any significant relationships since the end of my marriage.
Clare: That could be appropriate for now, because it is an indication that you are looking after yourself at the moment.
Kate: Yes, but I am sorry about it, really. It's just that I can't deal with another relationship at the moment!
Clare: I think this is very understandable, since it is clear from your birth chart that Pluto and Uranus are going to get evoked whenever you are in a relationship, because they are in your 7th house. And that means that your very sensitive grand trine in water will also come to life in relationships. For the time being, there is nothing wrong with taking the emotional pressure off yourself and giving yourself a rest. Perhaps you need to retreat back into your Saturn in the 12th house tower, and give yourself some time and space. The Moon-Saturn opposition is also about learning to care for yourself, and to protect yourself when necessary.
Kate: Thank you, you've been really positive.
Clare: Well, I have been trying to reflect the astrology of your chart as accurately as I can, and although I can understand why you are not feeling particularly positive or optimistic at the moment, no doubt you will look back at this period in your life and see that it represented an important and positive transition. Thanks to everyone for their contributions. That brings us to the end of our class and to the end of our term. Have a good break, and I look forward to seeing you again next term.

Featured classes
- javax.microedition.content.Registry
This class provides methods to invoke, register, unregister, and query information about content handlers. Your application can register zero or more content types (for example, image/bmp), suffixes, and actions.
The application gains access to the registry by invoking the getRegistry() method and passing in a classname parameter. The classname parameter is a String that uniquely identifies the application with the Registry class.
The Registry class also provides methods to access the ContentHandlerServer class using the getServer() method. Like the getRegistry() method, the getServer() method requires a classname parameter that uniquely identifies the application with the ContentHandlerServer class.
The sample application uses this class to register this application as a content handler for the content types image/bmp, image/png, image/jpeg, video/3gpp, and video/mp4.
The sample application passes in the String, com.rim.samples.device.sendmediademo.SendMediaDemo, as the classname parameter in the getRegistry() and getServer() methods to uniquely identify this application in the Registry and the ContentHandlerServer, respectively.
- javax.microedition.content.Invocation
This class contains methods to access the information that is contained in the request that an invoking application passes to a content handler. The results of the request are then passed to the content handler application through the ContentHandlerServer.getRequest() method.
The sample application retrieves the invocation from the invoking application (for example, the camera application) through the ContentHandlerServer using the ContentHandlerServer.getRequest() method in the sample application's invocationRequestNotify() method.
The sample application then uses the getType() method to extract the file type that the invoking application has sent to the sample application. After checking whether the file is an image or a video file, the sample application prepares the file for display. Depending on the file type, the application must perform different actions to display the file; however, in both cases, the location of the file to be displayed is retrieved using the getURL() method.
- javax.microedition.content.ActionNameMap
This class provides functionality to map actions to action names. An ActionNameMap object is one of the parameters that the the Registry.register() method requires.
The ActionNameMap constructor takes two String arrays, actions and actionnames, as parameters. The ActionNameMap object maps the String, actions, at position i to the actionnames String at position i. For an application that registers itself as a content handler on the BlackBerry® device, the actions parameter should be one of the constants that the ContentHandler interface in the javax.mocroedition.content package provides. This parameter defines the functionality that the content handler provides. For example, if your content handler can print the file that is being handled, you would add ContentHandler.ACTION_PRINT as one of the entries in the actions array. Other applications can find your content handler if they use the Registry.findHandler() method to search for a content handler on the BlackBerry device that has registered itself with the appropriate action constant.
The ActionNameMap constructor also takes in a locale parameter. This is a required parameter that must correspond with the locale syntax conventions that are defined in the ContentHandler class.
In the sample application, the ActionNameMap object is created in the sample application's register() method. The Registry.register() method takes an ActionNameMap array as a parameter, therefore the sample application creates the ActionNameMap object as an array with a single entry.
The ActionNameMap object maps the ContentHandler.ACTION_SEND action to the name of the menu item Send to demo app. Typically, the ContentHandler.ACTION_SEND constant signifies that the handler application provides functionality to send the content by email messaging or instant messaging. The feature that this application demonstrates would likely not be used to send content by email messaging or instant messaging, but would be used to handle the content in an application-specific way, such as sending the content over an HTTP connection.

There is no position in sports quite like a goalie in hockey. Pads for goalies have to be built extra durable to withstand the punishment of shots on net, yet light enough for lightning-fast reflexes and movement. As always, you can be sure that with HockeyTron, you are getting only high-quality protective equipment suitable for any level of play, all while saving a bundle at the checkout. TRON's goalie equipment will compare to some of the highest level equipment on the market at fractions of retail cost!
Throughout the goalie section of the site, you will notice terminology that is somewhat confusing at first. When an item is referred to as being Regular, it means that the blocker fits on your right hand, and your catcher fits on your left. A Full Right set-up is just the opposite; the blocker fits on your left hand, and the catcher fits on the right.

Joseph Conrad
Personal Background
Joseph Conrad, one of the English language's greatest stylists, was born Teodor Josef Konrad Nalecz Korzenikowski in Podolia, a province of the Polish Ukraine. Poland had been a Roman Catholic kingdom since 1024, but was invaded, partitioned, and repartitioned throughout the late eighteenth-century by Russia, Prussia, and Austria. At the time of Conrad's birth (December 3, 1857), Poland was one-third of its size before being divided between the three great powers; despite the efforts of nationalists such as Tadeusz Kosciuszko, who led an unsuccessful uprising in 1795, Poland was controlled by other nations and struggled for independence. When Conrad was born, Russia effectively controlled Poland.
Conrad's childhood was largely affected by his homeland's struggle for independence. His father, Apollo Korzeniowski, belonged to the szlachta, a hereditary social class comprised of members of the landed gentry; he despised the Russian oppression of his native land. At the time of Conrad's birth, Apollo's land had been seized by the Russian government because of his participation in past uprisings. He and one of Conrad's maternal uncles, Stefan Bobrowski, helped plan an uprising against Russian rule in 1863. Other members of Conrad's family showed similar patriotic convictions: Kazimirez Bobrowski, another maternal uncle, resigned his commission in the army (controlled by Russia) and was imprisoned, while Robert and Hilary Korzeniowski, two fraternal uncles, also assisted in planning the aforementioned rebellion. (Robert died in 1863 and Hilary was imprisoned and exiled.) All of this political turmoil would prove to be predictably disturbing to young Josef, who could only stand idly by as he watched his family embroiled in such dangerous controversy. The notion of the strong oppressing the weak — and the weak powerless to revolt — surfaces in Heart of Darkness, where the White traders wantonly murder the Congolese in pursuit of riches and power.
Conrad's father was also a writer and translator, who composed political tracts, poetry, and satirical plays. His public urgings for Polish freedom, however, eventually caused Russian authorities to arrest and imprison him in 1861; in 1862, his wife (Conrad's mother), Eva, was also arrested and charged with assisting her husband in his anti-Russian activities. The two were sentenced to exile in Vologda, a town in northern Russia. Their exile was a hard and bitter one: Eva died of tuberculosis in 1865 and Apollo died of the same disease in 1869. Conrad, now only twelve years old, was naturally devastated; his own physical health deteriorated and he suffered from a number of lung inflammations and epileptic seizures. His poor health would become a recurring problem throughout the remainder of his life. Poland did not gain independence until 1919, and although patriots such as Apollo were instrumental in this eventual success, their martyrdom left many children (such as Conrad) without parents or hope for their future.
The Call of the Sea
After his father's death, Conrad was returned to Krakow, Poland, where he became a ward of his maternal uncle, Thaddeus Bobrowski. His uncle sent Conrad to school in Krakow and then to Geneva under the guidance of a private tutor. However, Conrad was a poor student; Despite his having studied Greek, Latin, mathematics, and (of course) geography, he never completed the formal courses of study that he was expected to finish. His apathy toward formal education was counterbalanced by the reading he did on his own: During his early teenage years, Conrad read a great deal, particularly translations of Charles Dickens' novels and Captain Frederick Marryat, an English novelist who wrote popular adventure yarns about life at sea. (He also read widely in French.)

VESTAL Carthage coach Sam Millich and his standout senior quarterback, Bailey Wilkinson, agreed on one thing after seeing a fantastic season come to an inglorious end Friday night.
It stinks that we have to go out this way, and that I cant coach these seniors again, Millich told his Comets after they suffered a 43-7 loss to Union-Endicott in the state Class A football quarterfinals at Dick Hoover Field. But we cant forget how much fun weve had as a group this year. And that nobody can ever take our sectional title away.
Wilkinson, who guided the Comets (9-2) to comeback wins the last two weeks in the Section 3 playoffs, said the fact that this particular club ended with a loss is tough because of what we went through to get this far. They outplayed us, and were certainly the better team tonight. But nothing can take away what we accomplished as a team this year.
Quarterback Joey Orlando passed for 213 yards and fired five touchdown passes for the Section 4 champion Tigers (8-3), who advance to play either Eastridge of Section 5 or Williamsville North of Section 6 in next weekends state semifinals.
Union-Endicott dominated from the outset, scoring on just its fourth offensive play of the game after forcing Carthage to punt on the Comets initial possession.
Orlando, operating from the spread formation with several wide receivers, hit C. J. Krowiak for a 22-yard score just 3� minutes into the game and Sammy Davis ran in the 2-point conversion to set the tone of the game.
Davis added a 7-yard TD run and Orlando passed to Osama Barwani for a 58-yard score before the first period ended to make it 20-0.
A 19-yard hookup with Nick Yanesky and another 25-yard TD pass to Krowiak in the second quarter upped the Tigers lead to 36-0.
Ive got so many good receivers, I can go to almost any of them on any play, said Orlando, who has passed for nearly 2,000 yards this season. My line did a great job because I just sat back in the pocket until someone was open.
The Comets failed to generate any kind of pass rush on Orlando. And when he wasnt hitting open receivers, Davis was rushing for 118 first-half yards on just 12 carries as Carthage was unable to slow the Tigers down.
They sure had a lot of weapons, Wilkinson said. Unfortunately, our offense couldnt get anything going the first half and that put a lot of pressure on the defense.
Carthage was held to only 40 rushing yards and just 23 passing yards the first half. The Comets managed just two first downs, punted five times, had one punt blocked and suffered one interception.
We knew they were really good, Millich said. We came in pretty banged up, but thats no excuse for executing so poorly tonight.
The first half ended with 1:13 left in the second quarter when Carthage senior Tim OConnor took a hard hit and was taken away in an ambulance on a U-E 2-point conversion.
Millich was told after the game that OConnor was OK, and that he would recover from concussion symptoms.
A fumbled punt led to the Tigers final score early in the third quarter, another 27-yard TD strike from Orlando to Lucas DePofi.
Second teamers finished the game on both offense and defense for Union-Endicott.
Wilkinson finally got the Comets on the board with 9:14 left in the game on a 21-yard run. Shortly thereafter, Millich pulled his senior leader and they hugged each other.
What a great senior class and what leadership we received from them this season, Millich said. These young men made a lot of people proud this year. They shouldnt forget what a special season this was.
Millich said that he could sense early in the week that last Saturdays emotional win over Indian River in the Section 3 title game was still weighing heavily on the Comets minds.
Practice Monday and Tuesday was pretty sluggish, then we were hopping again by Wednesday, he said. But the last few days we were kind of drifting. I knew it would take a lot for us to win this game.
Wilkinson said the thing he will take most from this season is the team chemistry and how everybody seemed to like and take care of each other. Its disappointing now, but I know Id love to do it all over again.

COLLEGE will be proceeded by the Buster Keaton short COPS (1922)
Books vs. Sports. Nerds vs. Jocks. It's a tale as old as the abbicus. After delivering the valedictorian speech at his high school graduation, Buster Keaton gets berated by the girl he loves for not caring enough about sports. He vows to go to College and win her heart by winning at track and field. The central dynamic of brawn vs. bowtie had already been codified by Harold Lloyd in THE FRESHMAN in 1925, and it reverberates through movie history in everything from the Marx Brothers' HORSE FEATHERS to REVENGE OF THE NERDS. Today the ascendancy of "nerd culture" has complicated this dynamic and turned an ancient dichotomy into a prism of warring adolescent allegiances and subcultural rivalries. But in 1927 the sides were clear. The meatheads were the enemy, and comedy was the best weapon to use against them.
The majority of COLLEGE is structured around Keaton trying and failing at a wide variety of athletic endeavors. Baseballs whizz between his legs, shotputs throw him, and he knocks over every single hurdle on a racetrack with bumbling precision. It's ironic for a Buster Keaton movie to root so much of its comedy in physical incompetency, because of all the great silent comedians, Keaton was the one who most elevated comedy not just to an art, but to a sport. His slapstick is rigorous, demanding, and athletic. He executes gags with the grace and precision of an acrobat and commits to a bit with the determined intensity of a soldier. And the Great Stone Face does it all without ever breaking a sweat or showing a single crack in his deadpan facade.
A sad but necessary WARNING: this movie contains black face. In one scene Keaton paints himself up and gets a job in a "colored" kitchen. It's pretty shockingly offensive and there really is no excuse or defense for it. It's in there, it happened, it's a historical reality, so be prepared. The scene has little bearing on the rest of the film and hopefully a modern viewer can condemn the racism without writing off the rest of the comedic artistry of the great Buster Keaton. Be warned!

HAMMOND Lights. Camera. Action.
A helicopter crew will film St. Lawrence Seaway scenes along the St. Lawrence River from Cape Vincent to Massena starting at noon Saturday.
Several towns, villages and organizations along the river have partnered to create promotional DVDs of tourist attractions in the Thousand Islands and Seaway region.
It will show that it is a very connected region, from Canada to the U.S. side. There are endless things to do and see, from state parks to small towns, said Thomas A. Weldon of 1,000 Island Reflections, which is producing the videos.
The $5,000 producer fee will cover the helicopter, pilot, two camera operators and the camera equipment.
Funding for the DVDs will come from the town of Hammonds $20,000 general fund.
Last week, the town and villages Economic Development Council worked with 1,000 Island Reflections to establish specific areas for filming.
Areas such as Black Lake, Chippewa Bay and Blind Bay could be featured.
This weekend is a great time to film, Mr. Weldon said. While we are filming, several different things are happening: the Clayton craft show, Alex Bay poker run and Brockville (Ontario) is hosting the tall ship regatta.
Filming will end Tuesday.
Hammond will receive its own footage as well as the whole regions footage in mid-August.
Video images can be used for promotional pieces in online venues such as YouTube, print advertising and social media, Mr. Weldon said.
I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with, said Supervisor Ronald W. Bertram.

I have been following Sam's Php + Mysql web developement book.
Having written out the script the way the book has them:
if(!searchtype || !searchterm)
When I ran the script I got the error undefined variables.
Having sifted through various sites and tutorials I found one that showed me the following I have adapted to suit:
if(empty($_POST['searchtype']) || empty($_POST['searchterm']));
I now recieve no error message so I believe it is being parsed. However, that is as far as the script runs, receiveing the message "You have not entered details. Please return to form."
I have checked the form and can see no problem there all layed out as stated in the book (not that this is much comfort seeing as most scripts dont work or are non globals off compliant).
Has anyone else had these particular problems and can anybody tell me why is the variables not being passed from the form.
Thank you

MORRISTOWN The Morristown Volunteer Fire Department is applying for a $182,000 grant through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Fire Chief Kevin J. Crosby said the grant money would be put toward buying new turnout gear, a washer for the gear and specially designed bailout systems.
Mr. Crosby said the bailout systems are essentially harnesses built into the turnout gear that will allow firefighters to more easily escape from multi-story buildings by rappeling out of windows.
The gear is for a major emergency, he said, where firefighters are not able to access the stairs or the ladder they used to get into the building.
The paperwork for the grant was submitted in early December, Mr. Crosby said, and he expects to hear back from FEMA in six to eight months.
The competition for the Assistance for Firefighters grant is steep. Because the grant is available nation-wide, there are potentially thousands of other fire departments applying for the same funding.
For that reason, Mr. Crosby said, he personally worked on the application, including arguments as to how beneficial the funding would be for the town.
Mr. Crosby said last years grant saw roughly 9,000 departments turn in applications for part of a $450 million pool.
But Morristown has already won two grants through the same program, Mr. Crosby said.
In 2005, the department purchased new turnout gear and in 2006 it was able to use the funding for a new fire truck.

ALFRED, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - A man from Arundel was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison for the death of his infant son.
Gordon Collins-Faunce admitted to police couldn't handle the child's crying. He told investigators he nearly crushed his son's head by squeezing it, then threw the child into a chair. 10 Week old Ethan Henderson died a few days later at the hospital.
Collins-Faunce was himself abused and neglected as a child before being adopted. His adoptive mother urged the judge to have mercy on her son.
"No child deserves the hell that was Gordon's first eight years of life", said Jan Collins.
The prosecutor told the judge the situation was a bad from the start with neither parent equipped to raise the children in the home.
"It was a disaster. He has clear anger issues and had no capacity to deal with them", said Assistant Attorney General Lisa Marchese.
When Collins Faunce is released from prison he will spend the next 14 years on probation. During that time is to have no contact with his other child, Ethan Henderson's twin brother Lucas.

CANTON St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies on Monday charged Cory S. Chambers, 23, Allen Road, with fourth-degree criminal mischief and second-degree harassment after an alleged domestic incident at his residence.
Mr. Chambers was arraigned in Pierrepont Town Court by Judge Robert G. Camp and was released on his own recognizance to reappear in that court at a later date.
No additional information was made available by police.
