WOOSTER, Ohio — Excessive rain during flowering and right after planting, coupled with cool nights, have caused an increase in some late season soybean diseases in many Ohio fields.
The inclement weather during these two key time periods in soybeans have made the plants really vulnerable to disease this year, said Anne Dorrance, an Ohio State University Extension plant pathologist.
Dorrance, who has led soybean disease research and outreach efforts in Ohio, said now is the time growers should be scouting their fields to know what diseases may be impacting their soybean plants in order to know how to manage the fields to prevent similar occurrences next season.
"We're seeing a lot of late season disease symptoms across the state," Dorrance said. "While many of these diseases will spread, they are manageable.
"The key is to know where the pockets of diseases are. Once you know what pathogens are in your field, then you can make better choices in variety selection and crop rotation, which are two key management elements."
For example, Dorrance said, the occurrence of downy mildew in soybeans is higher than normal this year due to highly susceptible varieties and the heavy dews and cool nights the region has experienced in recent weeks.
Because this is occurring so late in the season, the impact on yields is thought to be minimal, she said, noting that there is no data available related to how well any management fungicides would work.
"The conditions could not be more perfect for this disease," she said.
"Downy mildew can infect seeds and if favorable conditions continue, the fungus can infect the pods and grow over the seed."
The problem for soybean growers is that once a disease or organism is found in the soybean fields, it is there to stay, Dorrance said.
"Growers can manage disease through crop rotations, because many of these pathogens can live in soybean residue, so when we plant other crops like wheat and corn, most of the inoculum from those pathogens are decreased," she said. For example, Dorrance said soybean cyst nematode populations can be reduced by approximately 50 percent for every year growers rotate their crops.
Another management option is to plant resistant varieties.

Moderator: Other Stuff Mods
Belo, a city of 2.5 million people, once had 11 percent of its population living in absolute poverty, and almost 20 percent of its children going hungry. Then in 1993, a newly elected administration declared food a right of citizenship. The officials said, in effect: If you are too poor to buy food in the market—you are no less a citizen. I am still accountable to you.
The city agency developed dozens of innovations to assure everyone the right to food, especially by weaving together the interests of farmers and consumers. It offered local family farmers dozens of choice spots of public space on which to sell to urban consumers, essentially redistributing retailer mark-ups on produce—which often reached 100 percent—to consumers and the farmers. Farmers' profits grew, since there was no wholesaler taking a cut. And poor people got access to fresh, healthy food.
Another product of food-as-a-right thinking is three large, airy "People's Restaurants" (Restaurante Popular), plus a few smaller venues, that daily serve 12,000 or more people using mostly locally grown food for the equivalent of less than 50 cents a meal. When Anna and I ate in one, we saw hundreds of diners—grandparents and newborns, young couples, clusters of men, mothers with toddlers. Some were in well-worn street clothes, others in uniform, still others in business suits.
"I've been coming here every day for five years and have gained six kilos," beamed one elderly, energetic man in faded khakis.
"It's silly to pay more somewhere else for lower quality food," an athletic-looking young man in a military police uniform told us. "I've been eating here every day for two years. It's a good way to save money to buy a house so I can get married," he said with a smile.
No one has to prove they're poor to eat in a People's Restaurant, although about 85 percent of the diners are. The mixed clientele erases stigma and allows "food with dignity," say those involved.
The result of these and other related innovations?
In just a decade Belo Horizonte cut its infant death rate—widely used as evidence of hunger—by more than half, and today these initiatives benefit almost 40 percent of the city's 2.5 million population. One six-month period in 1999 saw infant malnutrition in a sample group reduced by 50 percent. And between 1993 and 2002 Belo Horizonte was the only locality in which consumption of fruits and vegetables went up.
The cost of these efforts?
Around $10 million annually, or less than 2 percent of the city budget. That's about a penny a day per Belo resident.
Behind this dramatic, life-saving change is what Adriana calls a "new social mentality"—the realization that "everyone in our city benefits if all of us have access to good food, so—like health care or education—quality food for all is a public good."
The Belo experience shows that a right to food does not necessarily mean more public handouts (although in emergencies, of course, it does.) It can mean redefining the "free" in "free market" as the freedom of all to participate. It can mean, as in Belo, building citizen-government partnerships driven by values of inclusion and mutual respect.

We've looked to a number of heartwarming, coming-of-age '80s teen flicks for inspiration over the years, but there's only one cult classic that really embodies the spirit of fashion this season: Lucas. Sure, it might not be as instantly identifiable as our go-to girl-centric movies like Sixteen Candles, but this sweet movie and its all-American look are so in sync with the current runway trends. From the athletic-oriented influences seen at Alexander Wang's spring show to some geek-chic styling choices at DSquared, the spring collections were loaded with pieces that perfectly update the Lucas look.
If you need a little plot refresher to get you in the Currently Channeling spirit, we're happy to oblige. (Lucas fanatics, please feel free to skip ahead.) The movie features Corey Haim as the nerdy, 14-year-old, titular character and Charlie Sheen as Cappie, the popular football team captain. One summer, a pretty girl moves to townÂ--Maggie, played by the Goonies Kerri GreenÂ--and strikes up a friendship with the socially awkward Lucas. When they start school that fall, life gets difficult for Lucas as the football team begins to pick on him for being skinny, small, and dorky. Cappie comes to his rescue and protects Lucas from the bullying, but their budding friendship launches another new problem; Maggie falls for Cappie, which breaks Lucas' heart. In a misguided attempt to win Maggie's heart, Lucas joins the football team and unfortunately gets severely injured in a game. While recovering in the hospital, Lucas finally acknowledges that his love for Maggie is unrequited and that the two will just be friends. Fortunately the flick ends on a happy note; upon Lucas' return to school, he discovers that the entire football team and all his classmates have finally accepted himÂ--a very happy fact indeed.
As for the sartorial story, it's worth noting that all of these events transpire with the cast kitted out in preppy classics. The wardrobe involves lots of quintessential high-school pieces and varsity-influenced outfits mixed with those stereotypical '80s nerd references (like oversized glasses and odd hats). We plumbed these outfits for inspiration and found a slew of spring pieces that perfectly embody the American style typified in Lucas. Go ahead and check them out now, after all, they were gathered for your shopping pleasure!
Alexander Wang Brady Football Clutch ($130)
When it comes to sporty fashions this season, nobody does it better than Alexander Wang. His S/S 2010 runway show offered an obsession-worthy display of all-American football themes, which happens to be the game of choice for today's story. We love an interesting purse to complement our ensembles, and the slouchy shape and distressed leather of Wang's clutch definitely fits the bill.
Kenneth Jay Lane Scarab Beetle Ring ($115)
Studying various insectsÂ--especially the swarm patterns of locustsÂ--is one of Lucas' greatest afternoon escapes. When we spotted this Kenneth Jay Lane ring, we knew it would be a fun, Lucas-approved accent to your summer ensembles. The Swarovski crystals and rich amber color of the resin bead takes this beetle from creepy crawler to chic accessory.
Adidas Honey Hi Shoes ($55)
Adidas decided to kick it old school with their laid-back, '80s inspired lace-ups. These attention grabbers don the high school's red and white school colors, and we can easily picture Cappie, along with the rest of the football team, sporting this exact pair on game day. Make them your own by pairing them with a flirty summer sundress or your favorite cutoff shorts.
American Eagle Active Harem Shorts ($20)
Keeping in line with fashionable athletic wear, American Eagle created these harem-style shorts that look like a better version of traditional gym class attire. Unlike the dreaded days of P.E. uniforms, these shorts will give you a cool and comfortable look. Plus, the affordable price tag makes this an irresistible addition to your closet!
BDG Varsity Jacket ($88)
The quintessential jock can be spotted across campus demonstrating school pride in their polyester letterman jackets. And while the varsity jacket no longer carries the stigma it used to, this vintage-inspired BDG version is our homage to the film's handsome varsity football captain Cappie. It's a nifty, subtle alternative to last year's band jacket and will definitely work with all your favorite pieces for fall too.
Nasty Gal Foxy Mama Glasses ($30) in Tortoise
We are excited to see that geek chic is still very much alive and well when it comes to eyewear. What was once the subject of ridicule and teasingÂ--Lucas looked absolutely adorable in his thick, oversized framesÂ--is now a hot fashion accessory. Nasty Gal's perfect red pair is a great way to add quirkiness to your favorite outfit.
Surface to Air Women No.2 Boyfriend Jeans ($166)
If you are on the hunt for a great pair of white jeans this summer, look no further than Surface to Air. The comfortable fit and distressed wash of their No. 2 boyfriend style is perfect for all your Lucas-inspired explorations. Dress them up with high-rise heels or make it a casual day with flats.
Topshop Nibbled Tee ($32)
Lucas was never one to have a pristine wardrobe, as his clothing often looked worn out and unwashed. We don't support looking dirty, but we think this Topshop tee exemplifies Lucas' look with a stylish twist. Its tea-stained color and nibbled hole details give it a destroyed, vintage feel, not to mention, the cropped hemline would look great over a pair of high-waisted jeans!
Betmar Knotted Cloche Hat ($24) in Camel
If you are going to be lying by the pool or attending an afternoon BBQ, you might want to shade yourself from the sun's harsh rays. We have made note of Lucas' bucket hat, and think Betmar's Knotted Cloche is a chic and practical alternative. The tie on the back is a charming accent used to create a custom fit, while the grommets on the side provide much-needed ventilation for those hot, summer days.
La Mer Oversized Vintage Watch ($85)
Watches have made their way from classic timepiece to a decorative wrist accessory we can't leave home without. La Mer's oversized versionÂ--part of designer Martine Ilana's new collection Carpe DiemÂ--looks almost identical to the ones that both Maggie and Lucas wear throughout the film. We trust you will always be on time with this stylish ticker.
Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Shoes ($175)
We are pretty much obsessed with anything that has Chloe Sevigny's name attached to it, and these boots she designed for Opening Ceremony are no exception. In the film, Lucas wears a pair of ankle-length Converse, but this traditional chukka style lace-up is a little more appropriate for all your fashionable moments. Â--Jessica Baker

We're not saying your crotch isn't tough, it's just that whipping branches really hurt when they hit your nads.
The Alpinestars Gravity Shorts are burly enough to stand between the attacks of whipping tree branches, flying rocks, bumpy rides, and your crotch. Heavy-duty construction and high-tech materials keep you feeling good even after long rides.
- Reinforced, ballistic nylon seat can take a serious beating
- Dual-tabbed, hook-and-loop waist closures with TPR D-ring adjusters and rear yoke give you a custom fit
- Accordion stretch panels at your crotch and sides let fresh air in without getting in your way
- Shock cords at your thighs let tighten your hem for a great fit

They do their job well
-Not exactly a pair for warm weather (no ventilation)
-No pockets (well, one very small one)
-Giant plastic Alpinestars logo likes to grab things you brush up against.
-Terrific fit.
-Tough as nails.
-Look quite spiffy!
I've worn them on 4 rides and they're holding up very well in spite of the spill or 2 I've taken.
Heavy and long
Really heavy shorts probably more for motocross or downhill, I will be using them for winter rides, also has no pockets. All in all decent pair of shorts for cold days.
how long are they. what's the inseam. I want to buy a pair but don't want anything too long. I have a TLD moto shorts right now that works great. Thanks
good quality , HnR excellent customer service
I just received mine yesterday and never expecting that the quality of this is so great with the price I paid. It came on time 3 days international.
HuckNroll customer service rock
The shorts are excellent. Great quality, I got them for a good price and they were delivered on time. My one complaint is using UPS for international deliveries. UPS charged me a lot of stealth fees when delivering the item. When I told HuckNroll this they refunded half my shipping and said they'd look into replacing UPS as they've had several complaints about them. This made my day and I really appreciate customer service going to such lengths. Thanks.
fit great and feel very comfortable . Will no more when the sun comes out and can really put them to the test.
These shorts are, as indicated by previous reviewers, heavy. No problem, AND they fit great. HOWEVER, there are 4 lbs. of dimensional plastic on each leg. That is NOT a screenprint, of a shark as I thought it was, based on the photo. I'm contemplating sending them back, but also keeping them and removing the plastic. I still haven't decided.
This is an update to the above. I DID keep them and DID remove the plastic. Took a while, but the shorts are worth the modification as the fit is very good and the are heavy duty but now, not QUITE so heavy. Unfortunately, now I notice that one of the snaps came off and when planning to attach a (included) replacement, I see that I need a special tool to do so! Oy! It's hard to be ecstatic, but I guess I'm still pleased.
Awesome shorts!
Ordered these from HnR a few weeks ago, first shipment got lost in the mail; sent an email and a representative sent a new order on 3 day delivery! Awesome. Anyway, the shorts are perfect for gravity riding and dirt jump sessions. I got the jersey to match, and although the 3/4 sleeve is a little different than i'm used to, the venting is amazing on both items. I'm 5'6" 120 lbs and the 30 was perfect! they can also be adjusted. Haven't eaten it yet with these but they seem tear-resistant and they stretch nicely. Would definitely recommend again!
Great product, Great service.
These are great shorts. I'm 6'3" and 175 lbs and have a size 33 waist. I bought the size 34 and they fit perfectly. They are very strong and fit well. Not too baggy and not too loose. They have great airflow and are very comfertable. They do not have liner however but that leaves you with the option for padded undershorts. HucknRoll shipped them out fast and I got them with in 3 days. I highly reccommend HucknRoll and these shorts.
2 thumbs up
These shorts are really comfortable and can easily be adjusted to your waist. I have a size 33 waist but I got the 34 size. The first time I wore them it was almost 100 degrees out and I had no complaints afterwards. I totally recommend buying a pair and Huck N Roll ships them very fast.
does it comes with charmois? is it...
does it comes with charmois? is it detachable?
no liner
Nope. none.
Full Factory
Love these shorts.
If you want to look like a pro yet stil be comfortable and safe here's your ticket!
Excellent quality
Saw these on the rack in Whistler for a ridiculous price. The quality of these shorts is obvious even at a glance. Warmer than typical bike shorts, and longer. Not recommended for very hot days if you are going to be pedaling a lot. Do work fine for trail riding, but a tad noisy. Designed for gravity riding, and designed well. If you want a pair of shorts to survive several seasons of downhill thrashing, these are great. Run a little tight if you have a big butt.
Note: the pattern in "grey" on the black/white/grey pairs has a tinge of purple for sure. Black and white usually matches well with any other color, but the purplish can throw that off, for those who care.
Do these come with a liner?
Oops already...
Do these come with a liner?
Oops already see w.t4668360 rolled that out. Thanks!
No they don't.
No liner.
Alpinestarts Gravity Shorts
These shorts are great for muddy wet conditions like we have in the Pacific Northwest. They are more like a moto short then bike shorts, but are great for downhill. Material is thicker then you normal mtb shorts, but again great for mud and water. They do not come with any compression shorts. If you want something that you don't have to worry about getting stained from mud or ripping from branches and rocks these are great shorts.
Size wise they match up pretty well also. I am a 34 and got large they perfect.
They are a great length, not too baggy and fit well with knee guards.
Alpinestars Gravity Shorts - Men's
Great shorts. I use them for BMX racing and love them. The sizing is right on,the length is perfect, and they look even better in person. I've used TLD shorts as well for years, and I'll be getting a few more pairs of these to round out my collection.
Alpinestars Gravity Short - Men's
These shorts really stick to the seat almost to good great shorts recommend them

JAY – Savannah Alberghini-Giroux's goal nine minutes and fifteen seconds into the third period proved to be the game-winner as the North Country girls earned a trip to the Gutterson Field House to take on Harwood for the Division II state championship on Tuesday evening.
Falcon coach Claude Paul is excited about the win but believes his team has another gear that they can shift up to.
"I think we can step up and play even better," he said. "We were taken aback a bit by Middleburry's speed and their quick transition game."
Despite the speedy Tiger's best efforts, it was the Falcons jumping on the board first, as Whitney Bernier fed Crystal Moss with a perfect pass in front of the net 6:49 into the contest.

Skeptics and the Question of Audience: Who Are We Writing To?
I appreciate so much what Dawkins has done that he deserves defending, and I do. He helped create a heightened awareness of atheism among us and rallied us together to fight ignorance and superstition with science and reason. There is now a bookshelf in the major national bookstores for atheist books, one of which is mine. Prior to this where would you go in a bookstore to find an atheist book before that? It was difficult.
But the problem why many skeptics cannot get behind my work is because I'm "soft" on Christians. They want me to blast away at them, like they do. The ridiculous needs to be ridiculed, they think. But I don't do that. My goal is not to preach to the choir. Skeptics love it when we blast Christians, just as Christians love it when preachers blast atheists. I know this. In a few cases I do. But mostly I don't; not in my book, nor here on my blog. Although, when speaking to a different audience filled with skeptics I most certainly do this, because I adapt to my audience.
These skeptics acknowledge that our community needs both approaches, mind you, and it does. We need the blasters and we need people like me who are "soft" on Christians. But although they acknowledge we need both approaches they do not endorse my work. I find this myopic, since my work is more effective in changing the minds of believers, or so many people say. The problem is that skeptics who are the blasters won't endorse skeptics who are "soft" on Christians. One person told me (via email):
...this is an example of the problem of conflicting niches: you must please the choir to sell books and get endorsements and attention (and for our ideas then to disseminate and get used by more and more skeptics in the public arena), but you must keep the Christian attention long enough that they will actually read the book (which generally requires going soft on them, as nothing else will please them).My problem with people like PZ Myers and Dawkins isn't that they aren't right. They are. It's that they need to look beyond what they themselves would prefer to read and ask instead what would convince the believer. When they look beyond their noses and endorse that which will convince the believer, they will probably endorse my work. They acknowledge we need both approaches so why won't they publicly acknowledge my approach? Is their goal to change the religious landscape or not? If it is, they should endorse my work irrespective of whether or not I blast Christians if they think my arguments are good ones.
This then is the main criticism I have of them. They are myopic, something I wouldn't expect from people who claim to defend reason.

Scientists say they've found a way to disrupt the formation of fearful memory associations in mice. Writing in the journal Science, the team of researchers describe their work targeting neurons in expressing a certain gene, CREB, in the amygdalas of genetically-engineered mice. By targeting those neurons, the researchers found that they could erase the associations involved in a fearful memory event -- the mice would still remember the traumatic event itself and the trigger sound that preceded it, but would no longer associate those two events in their mind.
The treatment worked even days after the fearful association had been learned. Although this work is in its very early stages, the work could one day help people with post-traumatic stress disorder recover from their trauma. People with PTSD often experience many fearful learned associations -- a car backfiring, for instance, might evoke a battlefield trauma.
We'll talk with one of the researchers on the project about the work, and our understanding of how memories are formed and stored.

Do not go, my love--oh, do not leave so soon
Familiar halls and rooms that know your touch.
I want another April, May and June,
I want--oh still the wanting is so much.
What--forty years gone by? Why need we more
When those before us fill us both with dread?
Oft times I see you staring out the door
As though you're longing for the path ahead,
We go then, hand in hand, into the deep,
Each day a visit to the blank machines.
Those promises we made we mean to keep,
By these mechanicals or other means.
And if alone you chance that endless track,
I'll bring you home, without once looking back.

As Jefferson Community College heads into the year of its 50th commencement, it boasts high enrollment and better student retention than ever.
As of Thursday morning, 3,720 students were registered to attend the community colleges first day of class Monday, but President Carole A. McCoy stressed the enrollment changes by the minute through next week.
Nothing is final, she said. Its up and down constantly.
She predicts enrollment will either meet last years record-breaking numbers or be up a percent or two.
Im hearing from my colleagues across the state that many community colleges are dealing with declines in enrollment, Mrs. McCoy said. So, were bucking the trend.
It is not just new students that are keeping JCCs numbers up.
Also, the number of continuing students we have is very high, she said. Its about 100 students more than we had the previous year in that category. I think that those efforts focusing on completion and having students come back go together.
Last year, all SUNY schools held a Completion Day to encourage students to stay on track toward graduation. This year, they will have a Completion Week from Sept. 30 to Oct. 4.
I dont think the importance of completing is ever going to diminish, Mrs. McCoy said.
Additionally, 401 military veterans were enrolled as of Thursday morning, another record for the community college.
If the Army Tuition Assistance program had not been restored, that would have been a different story, she said.
Because of the consistency in enrollment, new programs in creative writing, literature and winery management are bursting with students.
Thursday was one of the last days of student orientation. Dozens of new students circulated the Jules Center Commons to clear up questions about everything from financial aid to tutoring services.
Im happy to be back in school, said 20-year-old Nikki V. Harris-Lauteri, Watertown. Im excited to finally be going somewhere rather than not having a career.
After dropping out of high school, she finished her general educational development degree requirements through the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services. She hopes to become a nurse like her mother and grandmother.
Nineteen-year-old Alexa N. Hanson, Theresa, attended orientation last week and was in the schools bookstore getting textbooks for her classes.
Its close to home, she said, explaining why she chose to attend JCC. Im kind of nervous because its new and different.
Coordinator of New Student Services Deanna L. Lothrop has seen many nervous new students in the past week. Her job is to ease those fears.
New additions to orientation include helping students set up their email, attending a faculty and staff panel on academic and personal support services and allowing parents to meet with Vice President for Students Betsy D. Penrose.
Every year, we see students who are nervous about the transition to college, Mrs. Lothrop said. The number one question for students is, Where are my classes.
Student campus orientation leaders are offering personalized tours of new students classrooms. Additionally, there will be a table in the quad from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday to answer any questions, print lost schedules and help find classrooms.
Our goal is to have all students start on Monday being comfortable with campus, she said.

An excellent logo for a producer and DJ that makes good use of a solid black background. It could have worked well to use more outstanding colours, the palette is a little restrained.

An awesome example of a genuine looking logo stamp. The dark red colour works really well in contrast to the light background. The textured background really helps this logo design to pop!Posted in Branding → Logo
A great logo for a fitness company! The word revolution is perfectly played out in the shape of the logo. I particularly like the red colour that\'s been used here, although I do feel the central design should have been properly symmetrical.Posted in Branding → Logo

Hello all. I'm new here.
I've been an atheist all my life, raised in a secular family, and proud of that fact. But in the past few years both of my siblings have joined this strange cosmic cannibal zombie cult - they drink blood and eat the rotting flesh of some ancient being that died and came back to life, on account of this is going to make them live forever, or something like that. I don't know all the details on how it works, but you get to put a little fish on your car when you join this cult or club or whatever it is. They seem happy about it, and they get to go on picnics every now and again too!!!
So not wanting to be left out, I figured it was never too late for me to hop on the church bandwagon. All that cannibal zombie stuff sounded a little gross and messy, so I passed on that one. After carefully looking at all my options, it came down to either this or Scientology, a hard decision I left up to the flip of a coin. Well, the coin toss turned up heads, and here I am.
I'll be checking things out over the next few days and weeks. Just wanted to say hello and give a brief little intro.
PS Is there a 10% tithe I'm supposed to send somewhere?

The Chaperone
Family, Comedy
Ray Bradstone is "the best wheel man in the business" -- the bank robbery business, that is. Just out of prison, he is determined to go straight and be the best parent he can be to his daughter, Sally. After doing everything he can to re-connect with his family and struggling in vain to find honest work, his old bank-robbing crew offers him one last job. He signs on as their getaway driver -- only to change his mind at the last second. What prompts this change of heart is an opportunity: Sally is going on a class field trip to the New Orleans Natural History Museum and Ray has been asked to be the chaperone. It's his last chance to be the father he always wanted to be. Sally and her class are in for one of the craziest field trips ever.

By CHARI JELSMASun Advocate reporter
Twelve Western Base-Ball Association (WBBA) all-star teams from throughout Utah and Idaho will converge upon the fields of the Toy Atwood Baseball Complex in Price Tuesday for the 50th annual World Series of WBBA, Aug. 2-8.
The Carbon league of the local WBBA region is hosting the tournament and plans are complete for an interesting week of baseball and related activities.
The two miniature diamonds at the complex underwent a complete renovation this past spring in anticipation of the event. This the third time in the long history of the WBBA that Carbon County is hosting the tournament, the first held at Helper and the second on the south side field in Price.
Actually, activities for the week will get underway Monday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. with a social for players, coaches, family members and friends at Washington Park in Price. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, various salad choices and drinks are on the menu.
Gary Pullins, former Brigham Young University baseball coach and athletic director, is scheduled to be the after dinner speaker.
Following this the players will move on to the baseball fields for a home run derby, base running and throwing competition.
A parade on Price's Main Street Tuesday morning starting at 8:00 a.m. from the Sonic Drive-in will get things started for the opening day of baseball.
Both diamonds at the complex, East and West, will be utilized for the six games on tap each day of the tournament. The teams will be matched in pod play for the first three days, four teams in each pod. Each team will play the other three teams in their respective pod.
With the completion of pod play, the four top teams will move into the semi-finals on Friday and the championship game Saturday afternoon. The remaining eight teams will continue to play each day, Friday and Saturday, in consolation action.
Carbon County will have two teams in the tournament, Helper and Price's Carbon Blue. These two emerged from local regional play completed last week. Carbon Blue won the regional title the hard way, coming back to defeat Helper in two games after dropping two games to Helper earlier in round robin play and the double elimination format.
These two teams provided youth baseball fans with some exciting games in local regional games. Helper won in the round robin by a close 4-3 score and again in the double elimination by a 13-3 score. Carbon Blue bounced back to win 5-0 in the third game and 5-2 in the fourth game.
Clint Finkbiner, Helper's strong right-hander, pitched the entire game in the first Helper win. Finkbiner and Julian Tamllos combined in hurling the second game for the winners.
Seth Tryon took the mound for Carbon Blue and helped with a two-hit shut-out for the 5-0 win.
This set the stage for the fourth and final game, a game that produced some excellent fielding gems by players on both teams. Perhaps the most spectacular came when Tamllos reached over the center field fence to rob Carbon Blue's Brock Pruitt of a home run.
Carbon Blue had strong pitching from a pair of right-handers, Jake Nichols and Mark Swink. The two held Helper scoreless in all but one inning, this being the third frame when Clay Finkbiner connected for a two-run homer.
Tuesday's opening day of the series will have Helper playing an early afternoon game and Carbon Blue will not play until the final game in late afternoon.

I was in your store a couple of weeks ago and you and Hardy helped me with the compression socks that I needed to continue training for my first half marathon last Sunday.
I also came in and got fitted in the right shoe with Jason around that time. You gave me your card and asked me to e-mail you with my results. Well, I finished the half and I wouldn't have been able to without the socks. I had to stop training in the middle of the last week before the half because the pain was only getting worse from my shin splint and running the half was very, very hard with the shin splint, but I know I couldn't have done it without the compression socks. Thanks so much for all your advice about training and running the half.
Thanks again for everything!
Best Regards,
Shannon Flores

CHANTILLY, Va. (WUSA) - They screamed and held signs: "NRA Stop Killing Our Kids!" and "Ban Assault Weapons Now!" and "Close The Gun Show Loophole!"
They're Code Pink. You've might have seen them before, interrupting the NRA's Wayne LaPierre's press conference a week after the Newtown School shooting tragedy.
They were vastly outnumbered by gun enthusiasts, but out-shouted by none. One protestor got into a screaming match with a man driving away about second amendment right, ending with "You're an idiot!"
Both sides may never agree. We searched for answers inside the more-packed-than-usual gun show. First we tried to get some clarity on what the protestors have been calling the gun show loophole.
Madea Benjamin of Code Pink explains: "They can make a transaction right there without a background check, that what's part of this gun show loophole."
Annette Elliott runs the gun show. She takes issue with calling it that. "It's a private citizen that owns a firearm that can sell it without going through a background check. not just at a gun show, but in a trade magazine, to his brother, to his family," she said.
To be clear, Elliott says more than half the sellers here have an FFL or Federal firearms license. That means they do background checks. We met a man named Lonnie who used to be a dealer, but gave up his FFL. He's selling his assault rifles and says he does his own background check; he asks for two forms of Virginia ID.
"The gun shows even with the loophole where it's a private sale from person to person is actually very safe because you have all so much law enforcement and nobody's enough to try and break the law on a person to person sale," Lonnie said.
The second issue we asked about is the ease with which one can buy an assault weapon. Elliott says, "You may be able to find one on one guy selling it, but there's not going to be a bunch of them here like that."
She says a ban won't work. "Criminals and crazy people don't follow the laws." she said.
The one thing both sides agree on is their rights - to bear and sell arms for one- and for the other, the right to gather and be heard.

Scouting the Creighton Bluejays (1-0-0)
Creighton defeated a ranked team for the second year in a row when it defeated No. 20 Stanford 2-0 Friday.
CU freshman Ricky Lopez-Espin scored the game winner and his first career goal in the 11th minute. Sophomore Fabian Herbers tallied the second goal for the Jays in the 53rd minute. Lopez-Espin and juniors Timo Pitter and Christian Blandon earned assists.
Creighton placed third in the 2014 BIG EAST preseason poll as CU senior Jose Ribas and junior Timo Pitter earned recognition on the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team. Ribas was also listed at No. 41 in the TopDrawerSoccer Preseason National Top 100 released earlier this week.
Overall Creighton returns its top four scorers from last season in Pitter, Herbers, Ribas and Blandon. Redshirt senior Sean Kim also returns after an injury in 2013. Kim scored six points over five matches last season.
The Jays also return both goalkeepers from last year in redshirt senior Alex Bolowich and junior Connor Sparrow. The goalies combined for a 1.09 goals against average and six shutouts in 2013.
Five 2013 All-BIG EAST selections return for the Jays including Pitter, Ribas, Herbers, Hines-Ike and sophomore Ricardo Perez. The Bluejays welcome 11 newcomers to the squad but lose the services of 2014 MLS Draft selections Eric Miller and Zach Barnes.
Bolowich and Keller will captain this year's squad.
Scouting the Santa Clara Broncos (1-0-0)
The Broncos enter the match after a thrilling 3-2 double-overtime victory at Omaha on Friday evening.
Santa Clara came back from a 2-0 deficit to take the match. Santa Clara answered back in the 45th as Carlos Delgadillo fired it home, making the score 2-1. It marked Delgadillo's first collegiate goal.
Former Bluejay Ben Kucera found the back of the net to tie the match with a man down in the 89th minute. The Broncos found the golden opportunity in the 108th minute when sophomore Edson Cardona successfully converted the penalty kick to cap the win.
Santa Clara posted an 11-9-0 overall record last season. The Broncos finished second in the West Coast Conference with an 8-4-0 record last year. SCU won five of its final six matches in 2013, including four one-goal decisions.
Cardona is the Broncos' top returning scorer from last year, scoring seven points on three goals as a freshman. Jared Hegardt and James Huffer each posted a pair of assists for the Broncos a year ago.
In goal, Kendall McIntosh made 87 saves and posted a 1.19 goals against average in 2013.
Creighton-Santa Clara Series
The Bluejays are 1-0-2 all-time against the Broncos; the Jays won the last meeting between the schools.
The Jays won the last meeting between the schools, claiming a 1-0 decision at SCU on Sept. 7, 2012. Christian Blandon scored that game-winning goal in the 69th minute.
The Broncos' only previous visit to Creighton ended in a 1-1 draw on Sept. 4, 1994. The teams played to a scoreless draw on Sept. 5, 2003 at the LMU Fall Classic in Los Angeles.
Last Time Out
The Creighton men's soccer team upset No. 20 Stanford 2-0 in the 2014 season opener at Morrison Stadium Friday night.
With the win the Bluejays move to 1-0-0 while the Cardinal fall to 0-1-0 to begin the 2014 season.
Creighton freshman Ricky Lopez-Espin scored the game winner and his first career goal in the 11th minute on a feed from junior Timo Pitter to give the Bluejays an early 1-0 lead. Lopez-Espin scored his first career goal from the right side beating the Stanford goalkeeper to the left.
In the second half, CU sophomore Fabian Herbers tallied the second goal for the Jays in the 53rd minute on an assist from Lopez-Espin. Herbers received a long touch pass from Lopez-Espin on the left side, on a play started by junior Christian Blandon, and chipped it in over the goalie to yield the final score.
Creighton junior Connor Sparrow posted his first shutout of the season while playing a full 90 minutes in net. CU outshot Stanford 7-6 and tied in corners at 3-3.
Poll Positions
The BIG EAST men's soccer coaches selected Creighton to place third in the 2014 preseason poll. CU garnered one of the 10 first-place votes to help total 63 overall points. The league's two ranked teams, No. 9 Georgetown and No. 12 Marquette, were tied atop the poll for first place with 75 points apiece. The Hoyas edged the Golden Eagles 5-4 in first-place votes.
Santa Clara received the two first-place votes, collecting 43 points to place second in the 2014 West Coast Conference Preseason Poll. Regular-season champion Loyola Marymount placed atop the standings with 48 points and six first-place votes.
Tough 2014 Slate
The Bluejays' 2014 schedule features five regular-season contests against 2013 NCAA Tournament teams, including four from the Jays' nine-match BIG EAST conference slate. CU also hosted No. 21 Wisconsin in an exhibition match.
The Jays' will host 12 opponents and travel to play six other squads in the 2014 regular season. The slate is highlighted by nine matches against teams that finished among the top 50 in the final 2013 NCAA RPI; six of those are home contests.
Starting in mid-October, Creighton will face the other four BIG EAST squads that advanced to the NCAA Tournament last year in a span of just under a month to close out the regular season. The Bluejays battle three opponents that advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2013 including No. 9 Georgetown, No. 12 Marquette and No. 20 Stanford.
Ranked Foes in 2014
Creighton is one of four BIG EAST programs to receive votes from the NSCAA in the 2014 preseason poll. The other conference schools in the poll include No. 9 Georgetown and No. 12 Marquette. St. John's received 10 votes in the rankings while the Jays netted 14 votes.
In addition to the trio of contests against BIG EAST foes that received votes, Creighton's schedule involves three other teams that earned votes in the poll. The Jays open the regular season at home against No. 20 Stanford on Aug. 29. Two other 2014 non-conference foes also claimed votes in Saint Louis (10) and Tulsa (5).
2013 in Review
Creighton finished last year unranked on a three-game skid after compiling a 9-9-2 overall mark following an NCAA Tournament First Round setback against Seattle.
CU played a lot of tight matches in 2013 as each of the Jays' nine losses came by a single goal. The Bluejays completed their first season in the BIG EAST Conference with a 4-4-1 mark and a fifth-place finish.
The Jays climbed as high as No. 1 in the 2013 rankings on September 10 – the first time since 1999 that CU held the top spot. Overall, the Bluejays found themselves ranked in nine NSCAA weekly polls during the last regular season.
Fourth-year head coach Elmar Bolowich leads the Jays in their quest for the program's 22nd NCAA Tournament appearance in the past 23 seasons in 2014. Creighton returns 13 letterwinners and eight starters from last year's team.
Inaugural BIG EAST Season Review
Creighton ended its conference season in Providence with a pair of 2-1 setbacks to the Friars in the regular-season finale and a BIG EAST Championship quarterfinal match.
CU never dipped below the .500 mark in conference and toggled between wins and losses over its last five league matches. Overall, Creighton won three of its last five regular-season matches after a three-game scoreless drought in mid-October.
The Jays were 3-1 at home in BIG EAST matches beginning with a 1-0 overtime defeat of St. John's in its conference debut (Sept. 21), a 2-0 win over Xavier (Oct. 5) a 1-0 overtime setback to Villanova (Oct. 19) and a 5-1 victory over DePaul (Nov. 2) on Senior Day.
The Bluejays' road record in conference was deceiving at 1-3-1 last season. All three losses were settled by a single goal. In fact the only two league matches not decided by a single goal or less last year were CU victories over Xavier (2-0) and DePaul (5-1) at home.
Creighton finished 2-2-1 against the fellow 2013 BIG EAST tournament teams. The Jays tied No. 1 seed Georgetown in Washington D.C., lost at No. 2 Marquette and at No. 4 Providence while defeating No. 3 Xavier 2-0 at home and No. 6 Butler 3-2 on the road.
CU was 2-6-1 in true road contests in 2013 including a 1-3-1 mark in conference.
Jays Rank Among the Top 10 in Home Attendance for 11th Straight Season
With 27,156 fans attending matches last season, Creighton ranked sixth nationally in total home attendance. The Jays finished fourth in average home attendance in 2013 at 2,716 fans per contest.
Over 5,200 fans witnessed Creighton's 1-0 double-overtime defeat of No. 7 St. John's in the Jays' BIG EAST debut on Sept. 21 at Morrison Stadium. The crowd of 5,282 ranked as the sixth-largest crowd ever to attend a collegiate match at the Bluejays' home. The match also ranked No. 10 in single-game attendance nationally last season.
The total edged out a contingent of 5,102 Bluejay faithful that witnessed CU defeat Columbia 3-1 earlier in the season on Sept. 6. That crowd ranks No. 7 all-time in the Creighton record books for single-match home attendance.
Creighton is now 5-7-1 in front of 5,000-plus fans since 2000.
At then-No. 22 Saint Louis on Oct. 2, 3,070 fans packed Hermann Stadium to watch the Bluejays battle the Billikens last season. It marked the largest crowd in a regular-season true road contest to see the Jays play since 5,648 fans saw CU visit then-No. 3 Maryland on Sept. 30, 2011.
In 2012, then-No. 2 Creighton fell 2-1 to then-No. 14 Old Dominion on Sept. 14 in front of 6,848 fans – the top home crowd all-time at Morrison Stadium.
Jays Achieve No. 1 Ranking for the First Time in 14 Years
Following a 3-1 victory over Columbia on Sept. 6, 2013, Creighton became the top squad in the nation according to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll released four days later.
It marked the Jays' first time back in the top spot since September 1999. Creighton was ranked as high as No. 2 in each of the last three seasons including last fall.

Read: Has Gary Bettman Had A Date Circled For The Season Since The Beginning?
In the Ottawa Sun, Bruce Garrioch writes that some league insiders think that Gary Bettman has had a date circled on his calendar for when the NHL lockout will end.
He says that the first nationally televised game on NBC was going to be the day after Thanksgiving and feature the Rangers and Bruins in Boston and, while that game has been cancelled, could be the day that the NHL wants to start the season.
Dating back to June, it had been suggested that the NHL's plan all along was to miss the first two months of the season.

Merck KGaA leads international consortium to develop cobalt-based dye-sensitized solar cells
May 13, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Merck KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany) is leading a consortium sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bonn) to develop cobalt-based, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) for use in photovoltaic and other indoor and outdoor applications, the company announced today. The consortium includes 3GSolar (Jerusalem) and Colour Synthesis Solutions (Manchester, UK). The 3-year project will cost a total of about €3 million ($3.9 million).

today is the worst it's been in a long time, it's 4:26 pm here and this is the first time i could get into a thread today.
This just in:
Hi,I've got someone working on this now. I don't know what's going with the Mech server. This should be resolved today. If you are still seeing problems tomorrow, let me know and I will get your account moved to a different server.
Best Regards,
today is the worst it's been in a long time, it's 4:26 pm here and this is the first time i could get into a thread today.
ya its having a hard time connecting to the forum/database, i cant count how many times i load the frontpage and the latest threads dont show up and i click o nthe linux forum and it doesnt connect.
At least we have a game plan now. If it does not improve by Tuesday, we are moving to a new server.
I tried to login today only to find out that I needed to register, again????? ???
I just experienced the problem again, so I requested to move the site to a different server. I hope it will be rather seamless, but if you are having problems with the site, just try again later, it will probably the result of the moving.
All right folks, we are on the new server. I know that the site was out of commission last night, but we had to deal with it in order to move the site to the new server. Hopefully this server will be faster and most of all more reliable. I'm still having problems with cgi scripts right now, but will be working with tech support today to resolve it.
Thanks Cloverm
Everything should be working now. Let me know if you find any problems.
