The Sampler Matches have been updated, now running Red Rover on Campgrounds.
Red Rover is a mix between Clan Arena and Free For All. When you frag a player on the opposing team, they switch to your team and help you hunt down the remaining enemies. The round ends when all players are on the same team. You gain one point for every player you frag, and lose one point for every time you die. The player with the highest score at the end of 10 rounds of play is the winner!
As always, the Sampler servers are available in limited capacity, so look for matches named "Red Rover Sampler" and enjoy!

Microsoft seems to use such generic names for their core products that it seems like it must be or have been part of a deliberate strategy. It is so common that I think it may have originated as a way to overawe some business customer or junior college striver -- who vaguely knows that SQL servers exist -- that SQL servers are Microsoft-specific products. Same with mail exchange server.
SQL Server (most general term possible, despite which they claim a trademark)
Exchange Server (see rfc's from the 1980's onward describing mail exchanges and calling them precisely that)
Windows (the generic term used with windowing applications since their invention)
Office (if you are inclined to protest that it's really Microsoft Office, go to the product splash page and look for the word 'microsoft')
Has anyone ever come across a discussion of this from someone involved in the early naming decisions or marketing, or have any knowledge if this is in fact a pattern intended to associate in the public's mind core general technologies with Microsoft products (while stretching the outermost limits of trademarkability)?

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few years, you are well aware of the environmental changes that are happening. Polar ice caps are melting, little critters are losing their homes and landfills are filling up. These problems can be lessened by just reusing a customized travel mug for the daily cup of joe. The bonus for you (besides helping out the penguins) is that your company's name or message will be seen daily and NOT sitting in a landfill!
A customized mug goes a long way in the market of promotional products. These unique promotional items can be personalized in every color imaginable, in ounce capacities like 10 ounces or 22 ounces, and with handles or without. People carry logo travel mugs onto planes, trains, or automobiles; they use them to and from work; they take them to their child's Saturday morning little league practice; and they even drink out of them on road trips. That's only a handful of ways to extend your brand's voice! The number of times these custom travel mugs are used compared to the price is immeasurable.
The available materials for our travel tumblers are as diverse as the people who use them, and the styles available will please anyone! We offer plastic, stainless steel, and even biodegradable materials with an impressive amount of space for your company's name or message. Many of our personalized travel mugs include either wrap-around printing or CMYK printing to allow for full-color, photo-realistic images on the sides. These custom mugs rock!
Speaking of biodegradable mugs, the explosion of green promotional products has been apparent for the last few years and it doesn't look like it is going anywhere. Customers have voiced their concerns for wanting more earth-friendly promotional products and now you can deliver that to them! There's no shortage of eco-friendly or environmentally-conscious items on our site--customized travel mugs included.
At Quality Logo Products, we offer an expansive selection of different styles, colors, and price points for your customizable travel mugs. We have simple and classic styles of travel mugs to the other end of the spectrum with modern styles, there's something to match every design and price! Don't take our word for it; just take a look through our pages!
If you give someone a disposable cup to drink out of, it will only last him a day. However, if you give that person a personalized travel mug then you'll have a lifelong customer! The initial investment may be tough to swallow, but the number of visits you'll receive will more than make up for it. Just remember, imprinted travel mugs are long-lasting, high exposure promotional products. Everyone can find a use for them: tea, water, coffee, hot chocolate, triple whip, caramel-infused mocha espressos! Their drink choice may change on a daily basis, but their mug or tumbler will not.
Even though the popular saying indicates that less is more, you may actually be better off ordering a few more than you need for a single event or occasion. These customized travel mugs are great items to always have on hand; they never go bad, lose their shape, or develop a weird odor, and you save more per item when you order in bulk for future promotions! Order these for your upcoming promotional giveaways, but order enough to give away to your employees to boost morale. At Quality Logo Products, we're happy to help! You can reach us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or if you would rather call us you can do so at (866) 312-5646. Happy shopping!

Welcome back to another installment of What Was She Wearing: Answers! As always, this story is brought to you by WWWD's fantastic interns-the very super Allison and Jessica. Read on for tidbits galore on Mischa, Cameron, MK, and Nicole.
Mischa Barton
En route to a lunch at West Hollywood's Le Conversation, Mischa wore this embroidered 1920's cloche. She purchased her hat at LA's high-end vintage store, The Way We Wore (the boutique is a WWWD favorite, check it out: The Way We Wore). Doris Raymond, the lovely owner of TWWW, assured us that she has similar vintage cloches available for $150-395. We found some options on eBay, but if you'd rather DIY, brush up on your crocheting skills and order patterns online (HeartStrings FiberArts).
On a side note, we know that this isn't What Was She Reading, however, in case you were wondering, Mischa's book-in-hand is "Dry" by Augusten Burroughs. It's a fabulous, follow-up memoir to his widely-read, "Running with Scissors," and deals with his struggle to get sober.
Cameron Diaz
It used to be that when we heard 'Cameron Diaz' and 'stud' in the same sentence, a certain fellow who recently brought sexy back came to mind. Those days are no more. Now, the only stud our readers are inquiring about is the Marc Jacobs Sweet Punk tote. Though this particular style is not currently available online, similar styles are available at Saks Fifth Avenue ($1800, saksfifthavenue.com). You also may be able to find the exact bag at your nearest Marc Jacobs store. Visit Marc Jacobs for a vendor nearest you. Cameron: we'll continue to drool over your arm candy.
Mary Kate Olsen
Seen here just after a hair appointment at the Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills, Mary-Kate Olsen is fashionably instep (as expected) in a pair of Yves Saint Laurent Savage Crisscross Wedge ($715, bergdorfgoodman.com). MK is often spotted with fantastic and wild shoes, but for some reason this pair particularly piqued your curiosity. To answer your questions: the YSL shoes are made of cuio leather, have a single-buckle sling back, and a platform sole. We think they would look exceptionally awesome with a pair of wide-leg jeans.
Nicole Richie
Sporting sweet new bangs, Nicole Richie was photographed above after having dinner at Mr. Chow's in Beverly Hills. In addition to her new hairdo, she simultaneously captivated the interest of many of our readers who wondered about her stunning outfit. The dress is vintage Diane Von Furstenberg, so sadly it's no longer available. But on a happier note, Nicole's must-have Wolford Mat Opaque 80 tights are an easy, and fantastic opaque, find ($37.50,wolfordboutiquelondon.com).

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Every January 12, the Maine Right to Life organizes pro-choice rally Hands Around the Capitol to mark the Roe v. Wade decision about a woman's right to abortion.
Organizers say 40 years after that landmark court case, their pro-life message remains unchanged.
"We're looking forward to the day in which we will all gather in celebration when Roe v. Wade is overturned, but today unfortunately is not that day," said Teresa McCann-Tumidajski, Executive Director of Maine Right to Life.
Instead, they marked the 40th anniversary by holding a rally and demonstration in Augusta.
Hundreds from across the state listened to pro-life speakers, then marched to the State House to ring the Capitol Bell 40 times.
Demonstrators joined hands around the State House for the duration of the chimes.
Pro-life supporter Gov. Paul LePage was expected to attend, but cancelled due to the flu, according to McCann-Tumidajski.
Planned Parenthood of Northern New England released the following statement:
"Planned Parenthood of Northern New England acknowledges today's event at the state Capitol with mixed feelings.
"While of course we respect people's religious beliefs and understand they are free to express those beliefs, state property is not the appropriate place for religious events.
"It's also inappropriate for them to judge women for their personal and private health care decisions. Women are allowed to make their own decisions about their pregnancies, and she is the one to decide, with her family, partner, and religious leader if she has one, whether to end her pregnancy or continue it. It is not for any of us to judge her decision.
"Although more Americans now self-define as "pro-life," a larger majority believe in the tenets of Roe v Wade and agree abortion should remain safe and legal.
"Although there are people who oppose abortion on religious, moral, or other grounds, abortion is a Constitutionally protected part of health care, and protesters at our health centers or the Capitol will not change that."

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Prosecutors say the St. Paul man accused of killing his wife was prepared to flee the country.
During a court appearance Thursday prosecutors said Jeffery Trevino made phone calls to family while in the Ramsey County Jail, telling them that his passport was located in a suitcase under his bed.
Trevino is being held in the Ramsey County Jail on charges of second degree murder for the death of his 30-year-old wife, Kira Trevino. Jeffery reported his wife missing on February 24, and investigators later found "copious amount of blood" in their St. Paul home.
It was also revealed in court on Thursday that, according to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the blood found in the home belongs to Kira.
Prosecutors charged Trevino with Kira's murder even though police have yet to find her body. Investigators say there was enough evidence in their home to conclude a death occured.
The judge denied the defense attorney's request to reduce bail. It will remain at $1 million. Trevino's next court appearance is scheduled for March 29.
A large group of supporters has been active in searching for Kira's body and keeping her memory alive. They are holding a memorial Thursday night at the Mall of America Executive Suites on the 4th floor near the SkyDeck from 5-8 p.m.

Irish Internet Radio and TV from Dublin, Ireland.
Views: 22
Hi Gregory,
While I haven't tried a whole lot of Celtic influenced pieces, I do blacksmithing and have a fierce love of all things Irish/Celtic. My life plan is to learn about all the blacksmithy tools and bits that are in Irish history, learn how to produce them and then teach others about the pieces. My hope is that I could gain citizenship through that avenue.
I am learning Gaelic as a side hobby, but smithing is my love. Sadly, I've just had to move my shop recently, and the new place where I live does not have room for a new one. So for the time being, I am not smithing, but hope to change that in the coming months.

Surgical tools carefully arranged on a table, a screaming baby in a white gown and men singing a blessing. This is a scene in Eliyahu Ungar-Sargon's documentary Cut: Slicing through the Myths of Circumcision, which will be playing at the Boulder Jewish Community Center on Tuesday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m.
The film is gory at times, including both still shots and live footage of circumcisions, often with sound. However, the graphic scenes help ask a controversial question: Should Americans, Jews in particular, question the practice of circumcision?
Ungar-Sargon, producer of Cut, was raised an Orthodox Jew. However, the producer began questioning both the Orthodox religion and its practice of circumcision after he participated in a ceremony as the sandek, or person who holds the baby, when he was 17 years old. The resulting documentary follows his examination of the tradition and raises questions about the medical, ethical and religious claims behind circumcision.
The producer says he has serious questions about the ethics behind circumcision that not only stem from the pain caused to the infant, but also the sexual repercussions of removing the foreskin.
"When you circumcise an infant boy, you are damaging his penis in a very profound way," Ungar-Sargon says. "The most sensitive part of [the] penis is removed, the part that has a very high concentration of nerves. This greatly diminishes sensory effects. Those consequences of circumcision, they stick with a man for the rest of his life."
Rabbi Gavriel Goldfeder of Aish Kodesh, an Open Orthodox synagogue in Boulder, views circumcision in a different light.
"I think that for a person who does not believe that we have a soul, and does not believe that there is a value in tradition, circumcision is savage," Goldfeder says. "But for those who do believe in souls, circumcision is an essential part of the Jewish tradition."
Goldfeder also provides counterarguments to a few of the common qualms of people who are against circumcision.
"If [a person's] argument is that circumcision is painful, I would say that while it is about the body, it is also about being a more perfect conduit for the soul to come through," Goldfeder says. "If [a person's] argument is that it reduces pleasure, I say there are different kinds of pleasure, like pleasures of the soul. Having the goal of enhancing just the pleasure of my body does not seem like the response of someone seeking a pure and spiritual life with God. I believe it is a small price to pay for a close relationship with God. Also, I have never heard a Jewish man say he does not enjoy sex."
Despite his disagreements with the arguments made by Ungar-Sargon, Goldfeder says he hopes to be able to attend the film and participate in the discussion panel afterwards. He says it is painful to him that Jews are questioning the tradition of circumcision, but he would like to participate in the conversation to understand their viewpoints.
Though the film highlights the issues surrounding circumcision, the producer says he is not an activist and is respectful of differing views.
"I see my role as providing people with the tools to think critically about this harmful practice," Ungar-Sargon says. "I judge my success by the quality of the experience I can provide and my ability to educate and provide people with enough information that they can have high-level discussions about the subject. If you really understand what circumcision is, and the issues around it, you are forced to question what kind of Jew you want to be."
Ungar-Sargon no longer describes himself as an Orthodox Jew, though he says he is still involved in the community and still considers himself to be very Jewish. However, after his research of the practice, he is not planning on circumcising his sons. For more information or to find tickets, visit www.cutthefilm.com.
Respond: email@example.com
One must not simply "question" circumcision; this practice must be vehemently condemned as a grotesque, barbaric blood ritual, a monstrous form of child abuse that should not be tolerated in any civilized society.
"it is also about being a more perfect
conduit for the soul to come through," Goldfeder says.
What does this even mean? Are women's bodies already (more) perfect conduits for the soul to come through, or not (more) perfectable?
"If [a person's]
argument is that it reduces pleasure, I say there are different kinds of
pleasure, like pleasures of the soul."
And having had part of one's genitals cut off is a pleasure to the soul?
"Having the goal of enhancing just
the pleasure of my body..."
Leaving the body alone is not "enhancing", just allowing a person to enjoy all he was born with.
"....does not seem like the response of someone seeking a pure and spiritual life with God."
How about leaving it to the individual how pure and spiritual he wants his own life with God to be? Purity and sprituality are not things to be imposed on people.
"I believe it is a small price to pay for a close relationship with God."
Does Dominque Strauss-Kahn or Anthony Weiner enjoy a closer relationship with God than the Dalai Lama or the Pope?
"Also, I have never heard a Jewish man say he does not enjoy sex."
He is not the first person they would tell.
How silly of me to think that jews, who are constantly bragging about their intelligence have so few areas wherein they can freely express their own minds. Do they even anesthesize the area to reduce the pain of the infant when they are circumcised? Then again women are not permitted to pray in the same place men do. What the hell is that all about? Why do jewish men think God loves them more then his female children? I did read one time that their god Jehovah hated women and now I guess from what I hear that is true. Now I hear women are not permitted to devorce without the express agreement of the husband, and even then are bound by their vows. And they call their cousins the muslims barbarians?
Forced circumcision is a violation of fundamental human rights. Why should Jews be concerned about human rights?
Circumcision alters sex dramatically. The only person with the ethical standing to say yea or nay to non-therapeutic genital reduction surgery is the rational informed adult owner of the genitals.

Authorities say 29-year-old Brian Morin and 23-year-old Bryan Wood were arrested Friday night in connection with a fire that destroyed two apartment buildings on Bartlett Street on Monday.
Two Lewiston men have been charged with arson in connection with the latest Lewiston fire that destroyed two apartment houses on Bartlett Street early last Monday.
Authorities say 29-year-old Brian Morin and 23-year-old Bryan Wood were arrested Friday night. Both men are known to the police, they'll likely be arraigned Monday morning.
At a news conference Friday night, Fire Marshal Joe Thomas said that residents can take some comfort in the fact that officials have done their jobs.
"We've had three fires down here now. We've had two juveniles and this third fire, and we look at a pile of rubble that is actually black when we start looking at it, and our folks have found the cause," Thomas said. "They found the people and we've turned the city of Lewiston back to Lewiston."
If convicted, the two suspects are each facting up to 90 years in prison.

|House Action on "Sweepstakes" Pay-Offs Set for Tomorrow
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 07 July 2010 06:18
One of the pieces of legislative business still remaining from the short session of the state legislature is the ban on "Internet Cafes" or so-called "Sweepstakes" businesses. Representative Cullie Tarleton said yesterday that the house will take up the bill—probably Thursday—and should completely concur with the senate version of the ban that passed last month.
Tarleton said there should be little or no need to have the houses confer over their versions and will probably pass the senate version and send it on for the Governor's signature—which is expected to come quickly. The "Sweepstakes" gaming has sprung up out of a loophole in state law in which pay-offs are allowed using phone card credits. But lawmen say that there are off-shore accounts that further skirt state video poker laws and pay cash. Gaming is springing up in full-fledged cafes and as a sideline for some convenience stores. At least four are running in Boone and Watauga County. Tarleton said that even with legislators hoping to wrap up their session by Saturday, the measure should be passed and on the Governor's desk.

Buzz: Oswalt, Chris Young and Harang on the Market
Yesterday in Toledo, 20–year-old Reds prospect Aroldis Chapman allowed one run in four innings, while striking out nine batters and hitting 101 mph on the radar gun.
…man, the market for starting pitching is getting super tight… basically, if you want a front-end starting pitcher a team must either a) develop him yourself, through your minor leagues, or b) get him from another team, before he signs a long-term extension, in return for every top prospect you have… because, the Josh Becketts, the Roy Halladays, etc., are no longer getting to the open market…
…this is why so many fans, myself included, wanted the Mets to sign chapman, who ended up inking a six-year, $30 million deal with the Reds after defecting from Cuba… in one move, for big bucks, he would have become the team's top pitching prospect… bam… one check, one prospect…
In a post to Twitter, John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer wonders, given Chapman's performance, "Do you think this would force Walt Jocketty's hand to possibly trade Aaron Harang?"
The 31–year-old Harang was 6–14 with a 4.21 ERA in 26 starts for the Reds last season, missing starts the last two seasons with a forearm injury, a neck injury and an appendectomy.
He is due to earn $25 million during next two seasons, after which he can be made a free agent.
In the last month, WFAN's Mike Francesa has repeatedly said the Reds have interest in Mets OF Gary Matthews Jr., but the team's owner now has no interest in trading RHP Bronson Arroyo.
the Padres are more likely to trade RHPs Chris Young and Heath Bell, than Adrian Gonzalez, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.
Cafardo also says the Astros will consider trading RHP Roy Oswalt, 'though he has a no-trade clause, he wants to get to a contender.'

LINCOLN — In the days leading up to his main event fight on Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc.'s "Pride & Power" card, Peter Manfredo Jr. referred to himself as a boxer who was "past his prime" and dearly hoped to bring back "the Peter Manfredo Jr. of old" one more time.
Not only was Manfredo facing a very tough super middleweight in Lincoln's Rich Gingras, but he also dedicated his fight to one of his good friends, Cranston's Gary Balletto, the former EBA and IBU lightweight champion who was paralyzed from the waist down following an accident at his home in July.
But Manfredo was able to "turn back the clock" this past weekend and give an exceptional performance, one that resulted in an eight-round TKO -- and the 40th victory of his superb career -- in front of an energized SRO crowd at the Twin River Event Center.
After ruling the sixth and seventh rounds of the scheduled 10-round bout, Manfredo (40-7, 21 KOs) put an end to the edge-of-your-seat fight by landing a lethal left hook on Gingras, which came immediately after he made good on a right uppercut. Referee Joey Lupino, sensing that enough was enough, stepped in between the fighters at 1:33 of the round and waved off the fight, and as Lupino held back Manfredo, Gingras stumbled backwards into his corner, but Lupino raced over to catch him before Gingras's cornermen could get to him.
"That one was definitely for (Balletto)," offered Manfredo, who paid tribute to Balletto (who watched the bout ringside) by sporting Balletto's tiger-striped trunks with Balletto's name stitched across the waist. "I felt good. I was nice and relaxed in there, and I finished the night the way I wanted to."
However, Gingras, who fell to 13-4-1, nearly finished the night five rounds earlier with what would have been the ninth stoppage of his career, as he delivered a vicious right hook to Manfredo with a little over a minute left in the third. The punch sent Manfredo reeling backwards into the ropes and quickly brought Gingras's large gathering of fans to their feet, screaming loudly for their fighter to finish off Manfredo. Gingras tried to grant their wishes by unleashing a barrage of punches at Manfredo, but Manfredo covered up against the ropes and withstood the abuse before the bell ended the threat.
"He knew what he was doing," offered Gingras. "He just covered up and weathered the storm -- let me gas myself out -- and he recovered. A lot of thoughts go through your mind when you're in the ring, and I was frustrated. I was more frustrated than anything else. I was saying (to myself), 'I had him, I had him, I lost my chance,' and then it felt like I was starting all over again."
"He rocked me," Manfredo said of Gingras's punch. "Those are the ones you don't see and those are the ones that get you. I was a little wobbly, but I survived."
Both fighters took their fair share of punishment in an action-packed fight that clearly delighted the sellout crowd, but Manfredo doled out a little more than Gingras, especially with his left hook, which initially made its mark midway through the second round when one drew blood from the corner of Gingras's right eye.
"I could have been a little faster, a little sharper, and there were times I stood in front of him a little bit," admitted Manfredo. "But you could see the experience level. (Gingras) is still up and coming, but I have that experience. I know how to set the pace. I know how to keep these guys away from me. I still have some power, and I'm still pretty quick."
In addition to his superb third round, Gingras also had a strong start to the first, and again, used some combinations to keep Manfredo against the ropes on multiple occasions. Gingras also landed some powerful shots over the fourth (despite getting another cut above his left eye) and fifth rounds, but again, the night belonged to Manfredo.
"He's strong, he's a strong kid, but he's too slow," Manfredo said of Gingras. "I knew I had the better skill. I just had to use that and I had to get my legs going again, and that helped me get the job done."
Manfredo, who turned 33 three days earlier, was asked afterwards if he planned to fight again in the near future, and "The Pride of Providence" was unable to answer the question.
"Who knows?" he replied. "I just want to take it one step at a time. This is my trade. Electricians, they go and do side jobs, and me, I'm a laborer whose side job is boxing. If the fans want to see it, if I can do it, if I need more money for my family, then I'll do it. I just hope the fans got what they paid for tonight and they loved (the fight). If they did, then that means I'm still doing my job."
In addition to the Manfredo-Gingras showstopper, there was plenty of highlights in the show, and none was more heartwarming than Balletto's first appearance at Twin River since his accident. Balletto, who was joined by his family, received a long standing ovation from the crowd as he was recognized before the main event by CES president Jimmy Burchfield, who presented Balletto with a citation from Gov. Lincoln Chafee.
While Manfredo honored Balletto with his trunks, four-time women's world champion Jaime Clampitt stepped into the ring with a black "Balletto Strong" t-shirt as she fought in the co-feature against Dominga Olivo of Brooklyn, N.Y. and in the final fight of a brilliant career that began in 2000 and stretched over the next 11 years.
The Warwick lightweight, who was fighting for the first time in three years, closed out her career in style with an unanimous-decision victory. Clampitt dominated the early stages of her six-round fight with Olivo (8-9-1), and despite receiving a nasty welt on her forehead in the fourth round that swelled over the final two rounds, she took the fight by scores of 59-55, 58-56, and 58-56 to finish with a 22-5-1 (7 KOs) record.
A pair of Providence fighters also secured four-round victories on the undercard. East Providence High alumnus and middleweight K.J. Harrison-Lombardi raised his record to 4-0-1 with an unanimous-decision triumph over Mike Rodriguez of Springfield, Mass., as he ruined Rodriguez's pro debut by notching a 39-36, 39-36, 39-36 win, and light middleweight Publio Pena (2-0, 1 KO) was a close split-decision winner over Antonio Marrero (0-2) of Hartford, Conn. Pena was a 38-37 winner on two of the judges' cards, while the third judge ruled Marrero a 38-37 victor.
Cranston heavyweight and fan favorite Arthur Saribekian, who was returning to boxing after being away from the sport for more than a decade, suffered a second-round knockout loss to Jesse Barboza of Hyannis, Mass. in the night's special attraction bout. After a ho-hum opening round, Barboza (7-1-1, 5 KOs) went to work on Saribekian (23-5-1, 18 KOs) in the second and put away "The Armenian Assassin" with a brutal right hook at the 1:15 mark.

A second person has been charged in connection with an incident last week.
Brian M. Thorne, 26, of 28 W. Church St., Adams, was charged Thursday by state police with fourth-degree criminal facilitation. He is accused of giving a ride to Jamie L. Thorne, 23, of 1104 Franklin St.
Ms. Thorne was charged July 19 with first-degree criminal contempt, a felony, because she allegedly violated an order of protection by refusing to leave Mr. Thornes residence.
The two also engaged in an argument over Facebook, police said.
Mr. Thorne was released on his own recognizance, while Ms. Thorne was taken to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and released after posting bail.

BRISTOL, Conn. --- After roughing up its opponents in more than half of its games in tournament play, Cumberland American got a bitter taste of its own medicine on Monday night.
Goffstown (N.H.) Junior went around its lineup and banged out six of its eight hits during a five-run rally in the bottom of the second inning that helped lead to an 8-0 triumph over CALL in their New England Regional pool play affair at Breen Field.
All of Goffstown's runs came off CALL starter Conor Lavallee with two outs, runners on first and second via base hits, and the New Hampshire club (3-0 in pool play, 10-0 overall) hoping to build on a 1-0 lead.
First, Nate Proulx doubled the winners' lead with a long base hit to right that just fell out of the reach of right fielder Matt Murphy and off the fence on one bounce.
After an infield single by Cam Bond plated another run and a walk to Dakota Mulcay loaded the bases, Ryan Hall lined a two-run single to right-center and Mickey Bridgeman laced a base hit to left to make it a 6-0 contest.
Those six runs was more than enough support for Goffstown starter Colby St. Pierre, who pitched into the sixth inning and limited CALL to four base hits (two coming off the bat of Connor Mastin), struck out five, and walked four (two in the final inning).
The loss was a shock for CALL (2-1 in pool play), which not only had belted 22 home runs and averaged over 11 runs and 12 hits per game during its 10-0 start (that featured six wins by 10 or more runs), but also surrendered just 2½ runs and a handful of hits per contest.
Goffstown struck first in the home half of the opening inning on a run-scoring grounder by Hall that scored Proulx, who led off with a walk, went to second on a soft line single to left field by Bond, and raced to third on a passed ball.
The winners later increased their lead to 8-0 in the third without the benefit of a hit, but on a pair of infield errors and a sacrifice fly to left by Bond.
CALL, which failed to advance a runner past second base off St. Pierre in the first five innings, had its best chance to score in the sixth by loading the bases with no one out on a single to center by Max Hanuschak, sandwiched around walks to Cam Rosa and Lavallee.
But Mulcay then came in to relieve St. Pierre and ended the game by striking out the next two batters and getting the third one to tap back to the mound.
Cumberland American will return to action today at 1 p.m. with a duel against defending New England champion Fairfield (Conn.) American, which boosted its record to 2-1 after defeating Yarmouth, Maine, 10-1, last night.
Tomorrow at 10 a.m., CALL will complete pool play by facing winless Barre (Vt.) Community. Both games, and Thursday's semifinal-round affairs, will be televised live on NESN.
Cumberland American 000 000--0-4-3

1. Purpose and scope of application
It has always been Moleskine's approach to adopt the highest of ethical standards, both in the way the company does business and how it interacts with internal and external entities/individuals ("stakeholders"). The purpose of this Code of Ethics (hereafter "the Code") is to reaffirm the company's deep-seated commitment to meeting the highest standards of legal and ethical conduct in its commercial dealings. The Moleskine brand was founded in 1997, reproducing the type of legendary notebooks used by artists and intellectuals over the past two centuries. Today the Moleskine name is identified with a family of nomadic objects: notebooks, diaries, jotters, bags, writing instruments and reading accessories, dedicated to our mobile identity. Indispensable companions to the creative and imaginative professions of our time, bound up tightly with the digital world. Moleskine S.p.A. (hereafter "Moleskine" or "the company") is a creative company experiencing continual growth. It can today count on a vast network of partners and associates. Its head office is in Milan. Moleskine America, Inc. is the American affiliate, with offices in New York, established in 2008; Moleskine Asia Ltd is the Asia-Pacific affiliate, with offices in Hong Kong, established at the end of 2011; Moleskine Shanghai was established in 2012. This Code is applicable to Moleskine SpA, and the following addressees are subject to its provisions: members of the management boards, the proxy holders, employees and contractors of the company, regular suppliers that contribute to the company's value chain, commercial partners and all those who act directly or indirectly, permanently or temporarily, in the name of and on behalf of the company (hereafter, for short, "Addressees" and, individually, "the Addressee"). All those subject to the Code are asked to accept and adhere to the values contained therein. Customers are asked to take note of the adoption of the Code by the company and to undertake to adhere to the values contained therein, in the belief that this matter is of fundamental importance for maintaining a business relationship. Any non-compliance by customers with the principles contained in the Code shall be evaluated, so that the rights and interest of the company are protected. All those subject to this Code must do whatever possible to avoid even the semblance of illicit behaviour, and are required to adhere to the highest ethical and legal standards, and to comply with the law, in order to safeguard the integrity and reputation of the company.
2. Corporate mission

Moleskine moreover seeks to be recognised and perceived as the leader in its market, generating value, positivity and innovation through the commitment of all its people, the propriety of its conduct, the excellence of its products and its quality of service. These factors constitute the guidelines for how the company operates and the most solid basis for generating consensus, growth, stability and profits for the company, its shareholders and its employees. Paying due heed to traditional values of quality, service, research, design and experimentation is how the company stands out in a market that is ever more demanding and competitive.

Moleskine recognises the importance of its employees and contractors, as one of the fundamental factors in achieving corporate objectives, and adopts procedures and techniques for selection, development, evaluation and training aimed at achieving the highest level of propriety and equal opportunities without discrimination on the basis of gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or any other factor. Staff are recruited on the basis of their experience, attitude and skills. Recruitment is based exclusively on the correspondence between expected and required profiles. The company manages its business in observance of the mandatory regulations covering work environment conditions, undertaking to contrive a dignified environment that is respectful of all. The company considers unacceptable any type of violence, harassment or undesirable conduct that violates the dignity of the person to whom such behaviour is directed. All forms of sexual harassment are therefore forbidden, as is harassment linked to personal, cultural or religious diversity. In addition, all those who observe or are the victim of any form of harassment are asked to report this to the relevant managers in the company or the Supervisory Board.
The company pledges to propagate and reinforce a safety culture by developing awareness of risks, and developing knowledge of, and compliance with, current prevention and protection legislation, promoting responsible behaviour on the part of all workers. No employee and contractor may expose others to risks and dangers that might cause harm to their health or physical safety, and it is recalled that each worker is responsible for and must act bearing in mind the aim of ensuring an effective management of workplace health and safety. Everyone is involved and thus called upon to take an active part in constantly improving the conditions of safety in the workplace.

Moleskine pursues business success in Italian and international markets through its offering of a quality product that complies with all regulations.

The company adopts specific processes that allow the behaviour of suppliers to be evaluated, in order to identify whether said behaviour conforms with international standards dealing with respect for human rights and the environment, and compliance with workplace health and safety regulations, so that any anomalies of sufficient importance to prejudice maintenance of their approved status are identified. In relationships with its suppliers, the company reiterates that any behaviour or action that could be
linked to an offence of criminal conspiracy is absolutely prohibited.

5.8 Public regulatory authorities and supervisory bodies
Communications, notifications and replies to requests sent to public regulatory authorities and to supervisory bodies must be prepared in observance of principles of completeness, integrity, objectivity and transparency. When checks and inspections take place, Addressees must adopt an attitude of the utmost openness and co-operation. Communicating untrue information, or fraudulently concealing facts, completely or partially, that should be communicated to the authorities is forbidden, and consciously obstructing in any way the duties of public regulatory authorities and supervisory bodies is severely forbidden. In order to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure the greatest transparency when inspections are carried out, relationships with public regulatory authorities and supervisory bodies must only be handled by the departments expressly authorised for this task.
6. Implementation and control

The company is committed to promoting knowledge of the Code among its Addresses, and to put in place suitable measures to ensure that the Code is fully implemented in reality. Alleged violations of the Code may be reported to the Supervisory Board at the email address firstname.lastname@example.com; the Board will take steps to evaluate the report, undertaking to keep the identity of the person making the report secret, subject to legal obligations. Reports made in good faith shall not lead to any negative repercussions to the detriment of the person making the report, including when the reports prove to be unfounded. Without prejudice to any penalties provided for by legislation in the case of violation of the regulations contained therein, the company shall determine penalties to be applied to Addresses who have behaved in a manner that contravenes the Code; these shall be imposed in a way that is proportional to the gravity and intentionality of the infringement committed, with it also being taken into account whether the non-fulfilments and/or infringements have been committed on a repeated basis.
Compliance with the Code of Ethics is an integral part of the terms and conditions of employment with the company for employees and executives, and every infringement of this Code will lead to disciplinary measures being taken, proportional to the seriousness and recidivism of the shortcoming, or the degree of blame, in compliance with the regulations contained in the applicable labour contracts (in Italy, the regulations contained in article 7 of Law 20 May 1970, number 300).
As for other Addressees subject to the Code, violation of the regulations contained therein shall lead to appropriate measures being taken, proportional to the seriousness and recidivism of the shortcoming involved or the degree of blame, up to the point of cancelling contracts on the grounds of just cause or due to non-fulfilment on the part of the individuals or entities indicated previously.

Toby Wright has asthma. He takes a daily inhaler as well as an Albuterol inhaler when he is having an attack.
A Utah Department of Health report outlines the impact of asthma on children as they head back to school this fall.
The Utah Youth Asthma Report shows that 8.9 percent or about 76,000 children in Utah ages birth to 17 are currently under medical care for asthma.
The study also details the total number of emergency room visits and hospitalizations due to the occurrence of serious events among children related to the illness, indicated Becca Jorgensen of the state department of health's asthma program
"One unique aspect of this report is that much of the information is from Utah students who have asthma," pointed out Jorgensen. "We're getting insight into how the disease affects them from their personal experiences and points of view."
Sections of the report focus on how asthma impacts middle and high school students participation in school activities.
One in five or 20.5 percent of middle school students with asthma indicated that the disease limits their activities at least once a week. And 22.5 percent of the students said they miss school one or more days a month with a severe episode.
Among high school students with asthma, 17.2 percent reported activity limitation and 15.6 percent said they missed school because of the illness.
"Students with asthma shouldn't be on the sidelines when it comes to participating in school activities," noted Jorgensen. "With the right treatment, students with asthma can stay active just like anyone else."
There is no cure for asthma. But if the condition is managed properly, children can join in school activities.
Families should talk about the students' difficulties with physicians and work with medical care providers to manage the symptoms.
Utah Department of Health experts encourage Carbon County parents, schools and children with asthma to take preventive measures for a smooth transition as students head back to class.
Students and parents should complete a self-administration form and turn it in to the school nurse or office.
The form allows children who are capable to carry as well as use inhalers at school.
In addition, families and students should ask doctors for a written asthma action plan, advised the state health department. The plan is an individual guide that indicates what things to avoid and what to do in an emergency or during an asthma attack.
Encourage student's physical education teachers and coaches to complete the "Winning with Asthma" online educational program at www.WinningWithAsthma.org. is also a good way to assure that people around students with asthma are understand the situation.
Parents should also check their child's medical charts to ensure their flu shots are up-to-date.
Asthma is one of the leading causes of school absenteeism for children in the United States and often causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing that can interrupt daily life.

Dismal Dancing Daffodils, dying in hand. She tightly clutches, hanging downward, drunk in the sunlight.
Dirty canvas whites, and dingy shoe strings, she runs on.. Her ashy dusty knees mirror the playground field. Rubber tire bits hang from her shorts.
She runs on.. emphatically choking them.. she runs on..
Unconscious petals drift in the air.. Her sticky smile gleams bright.
"Mommy look! I brought you flowers.. Look! I got you the best ones.
Now, you won't have to buy your own!"

Quadcopters have become increasingly common among the ordinary people. They have found various ways to construct the cheapest and most efficient quadcopter which will guarantee the most efficiency and effectiveness. This article is only dedicated to the ones who are looking for a cheap, effective and the light quadcopter serving his basic requirements.
The world's smallest quadcopter is made up of only a micro board with four arms capable of securing four motors holding four identical propellers. The entire mechanism has an area of 144 squared centimeters and weighs only 20 grams. With a flight duration of 4.5 minutes. So now you can go to the site to get more help. This has been designed by a college student for his project. Even though this is a part of a project and was merely designed for achieving a good grade, this device can also be used to serve various purposes indoors. Because many of us live inside a small apartment without any backyard, people have also managed to customize it accordingly.
Because of technology and advancements, some people have managed to customize the flying mechanism by attaching extra propellers and machines of higher rpm. With extra propellers, the device have finally managed to achieve stronger upward thrust, and thus the quadcopter is able to lift small objects like your mobile phone, or perhaps the T.V remote. The propellers also need to rotate faster, for which the motors are, having greater rpm rate means, propellers with greater centrifugal force and stronger thrust against the gravity allowing the entire mechanism to hover above the ground. The Electronic Speed Control on the other hand maintains the alignment of the drone.
It is currently the world's smallest quadcopter also winning the title. It can be flown inside the household for fun and excitement. It will make your household cheerful again by the laughter of your wonderful kids.

The Czech Fair Trade Association joins the Fairtrade family
The Czech Fair Trade Association (Asociace Pro Fair Trade) is now the first national Fairtrade organization based in Eastern Europe. The agreement signed between FLO and The Czech Fair Trade Association today in Bonn formalizes the Association's role as promoter and marketer of Fairtrade products in the Czech Republic.
In new Fairtrade markets, FLO licenses the Mark on products while local organizations like The Czech Fair Trade Association are responsible for marketing and promotion. Other groups in Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe are already working with FLO on a project basis to build Fairtrade sales in their countries.
