ROCKLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- It was a tough summer for Maine lobstermen. The catch was huge, but prices were very low. That prompted a lot of talk about how the public can help sustain and even bolster this local food source and industry.
Did you know lobster is considered one of the world's finest proteins. And if there was ever a poster child for the Buy Local campaign, lobster could be it. One chef in Maine is on a crusade to have people eat more lobster, especially during the holidays.
Kerry Altiero os Cafe' Miranda in Rockland was voted Maine's Lobster Chef of the Year at Harborfest. He is sharing his passion for lobster and an easy recipe he says anyone can make.
This can be a dinner appetizer for Holiday entertaining or a nice luncheon dish. Feeds two either as an appetizer or luncheon entrée.
· 4 ounces lobster meat. You can cook and pick your own lobster of buy pre picked meat at your local seafood market.
· 3 Ripe (as you can get them) Roma Tomatoes, halved.
· 4 ounces Café Miranda Pesto. Available in Local markets, Natural Food and gourmet stores
· Half of a red onion, sliced.
· Extra virgin olive oil, have 5+/- ounces at the ready
· 4 cups picked spinach, washed and lightly oiled.
· 2-ounces seafood stock. Low salt, natural clam juice can work or if you are picking your lobsters, use the bodies & shells to make a stock or a "Fumet" as we call it.
· Coarse salt
· Fresh ground pepper
In a heavy pan on medium to High heat, add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
Dredge the tomatoes in the coarse salt & pepper. Add to the pan, flat side down. Cover with lid and "Pan Roast".
As soon as the tomatoes brown and are halfway heated thru, add onions.
Reduce heat & sauté until "sweated". (Translucent and sweet smelling)
Add the lobster, greens and pesto to pan and cover.
Heat thru and wilt the spinach.
Season to taste. Add seafood stock as needed.
Stir gently and turn out onto a heated plate.
Finish with additional extra virgin olive oil and cracked pepper.
Oh, and what shall the beverage be? A bold white or a softer Pinot would work. Add company, some Café Miranda Focaccia bread and let the good holiday times ROLL!
Cafe Miranda is located at 15 Oak Street in Rockland Maine. We are open 7 days a week for lunch & Supper and for Sunday brunch

Two Price City Police officers were honored by Price City and the Price Police Department for their actions during an apparent suicide attempt April 1.
Officers Stephen Regruto and David Wilkinson were presented with Medals of Distinguished Service for their actions in the line of duty. Regruto and Wilkinson helped defuse a situation with a distaught man in Price who was armed with a .20 gauge shotgun and was pointing it at himself. Regruto and Wilkinson eventually wrestled the weapon away from the man without suffering any injuries despite one shot being fired. Police Chief Kevin Drolc said the man told police during an interview that Regruto and Wilkinson helped save his life and that he was sorry for his actions.

text: The storms that came through Carbon County on Sunday night added a little of almost everything to the area. First came the threatening lightning, then torential rains in many places around the county. Price reportedly had .85 of an inch of rain between Sunday evening and Monday morning when things began to clear up. Some unofficial measurements in other places placed rainfall at over 1.5 inches in a few hours as storms would batter an area with down pours and then let up for an hour only to return again. The result was some minor flooding around street corners and in a few basements. On Monday morning the Price River was swollen and left its banks in a few places flooding out willows and pastures. Near the diversion dam on Farnum Road the water gathered in a big whirlpool with garbage and debris swirling around. But by Tuesday morning the scene had settled down (inset photo) considerably. The rain proved to be the biggest general precipitation since early last spring.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
On May, 8, the United States House of Representatives' education and labor committee chair George Miller released formal statements concerning the congressional investigation into last August's Crandall Canyon mine disaster.
Released along with the committee's findings were testimonies from witnesses, including state officials, mining experts and the families of the entombed miners.
Included in the information was the testimony of Kristen Kimber, identified as the mother of trapped miner Brandon Kimber.
Kimber's comments showed concurrence and support for an independent investigation into the incidents at the Crandall Canyon mine.
"I always felt the mining industry was safe due to the checks and balances of MSHA and the owners of the mines to ensure the safety and well-being of all their employees and other workers in the mine," said Kimber during her October 2007 testimony. "This belief has been ripped apart by the tragedy that killed Brandon and upon learning of Mr. Murray's mining practices and MSHA's rubber stamping the practices."
The witness questioned the ability of the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration to fairly investigate the federal agency's practices.
"My big question is how can Mr. Murray and MSHA investigate themselves, when nine men are dead under their watch?" questioned Kimber. "Mr. Murray and MSHA are to blame yet they are not letting the families participate in the investigation. Obviously, oversight is needed to Congress, the United Mine Workers of America and others."
Also included on the committee's website is the testimony of Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.
The governor's October 2007 testimony laid out the members for the newly formed Utah Mine Safety Commission. The commission was charged with:
Reviewing the state's role in mine safety, including the inspection process, accident prevention and emergency response.
Reviewing the Crandall Canyon disaster and the state's role leading up to the accident.
Evaluating how the state can assure that MSHA and private mining companies are doing everything reasonably possible to ensure the safety of Utah miners, the workers' families and local communities.
Developing appropriate policy recommendations regarding how the state should promote mine safety and accident prevention.
The state commission met following the Crandall Canyon accident and released a report in January formally defining Utah's role in mine supervision.
Following the congressional committee's findings, Miller submitted a referral to the U.S. Justice Department, calling for an investigation into the coal mine general manager's actions.
"I write to request that the department of justice investigate whether Laine W. Adair, individually or in conspiracy with others, willfully concealed or covered a material fact or made materially false representations in a matter under the jurisdiction of the executive branch, specifically MSHA in violation of 18 USC 1001," stated Miller in the referral.
"Adair was the general manager of Genwal Resources Inc. during the time period relevant to the referral," continued Miller. "Genwal operated the Crandall mine, an underground coal mine located near Huntington from 1995 until the mine's closure last year, after the deaths of nine individuals at the mine."
Murray Energy Inc. responded to Miller's allegations in defense of Adair through their attorney Kevin N. Anderson, but made no comment concerning the chair's allegations of conspiracy. Anderson's statement alleged that Miller while trying to further his political agenda "concocted a criminal referral concerning the tragedy that occurred at the Crandall Canyon mine," before MSHA had finished their official investigation. He further stated that, "this callous inference is based on a radically incomplete review of the facts....and ignores contradictory records and prior investigators findings."
Miller's committee used an independent engineering company, Norwest Corporation, to investigate the roof control plan submitted for the Crandall mine and approved by MSHA on June 15, 2007.
In their executive summary, posted on the committee's website, Norwest officials define their role and findings.
"Assuming the pillars within the main west retained originally mined support characteristics when mining was completed in the main west in 1995, Norwest concluded the following," stated the summary.
Areas of elevated risk indicators were not identified.
Some modeling results indicated more investigation was required to further analyze barrier pillar safety factors.
Retreat mining in the north and south barrier results indicated higher stress loading on the pillars adjacent to the forming gob as expected. No elevated risk indicators were identified.
Some modeling results indicated the main west sealed area contained the weakest area of pillars.
More investigation was necessary regarding the condition of the main west pillars.
The Norwest report further states that, under a second modeling scenario, the extent of any deterioration or damage to the main west pillars is not definitely known as the main west was sealed in 2004. A Bureau of Land Management inspection before the sealing however indicated pillar deterioration.
Norwest's modeling results identified, under the assumption of deteriorated main west pillars, indicators showed increased potential for pillar failures. Based upon the indicators identified in these analyses and the actual occurrences of the August 2007 bounce, the roof control plan amendment was not considered adequate under this assumption of deteriorated main west pillars.
According to Miller's comments it was this information along with streams of other data the lead to the committee's conclusions and subsequent department of justice referral.
Murray Energy Inc. would make no further comment beyond there statement of support for Adair, in view of ongoing investigations into this matter.

Michael dreamed up this delicious twist on classic toffee last summer for our August monthly special (remember the wildly popular, sweet-savory Maple Bacon Toffee?). The mild but distinct flavor of the maple syrup plays off of the rich butter flavor of the toffee and adds a fragrant note to this popular treat.
Note: This toffee can also serve as a base to which you can add cooked, crisp bacon, pecans, dried cranberries, almonds, or other dried fruits and nuts. Simply add ¼ to ½ a cup of the additional ingredient to the toffee when you mix in the vanilla and salt. Mix well and continue with the recipe as instructed.
This toffee recipe yields a little over 2 pounds of toffee, which can be a little more than the average person can consume! Store it in an airtight container, or package it as gifts to friends, family, and anyone else you know with a sweet tooth!
• Place four pieces of parchment paper on a flat work surface and grease the parchment with butter or unflavored cooking spray (canola works well). You will pour the toffee onto these four sheets. Set aside four more sheets of parchment paper (greased on one side) to put on top of the toffee. (You can also use non-stick silicone baking mats, like Silpats in lieu of parchement).
• Combine butter, sugar, water, maple syrup, and glucose in a heavy bottomed saucepan.
• Make sure the vanilla and salt are measured out before you begin cooking the toffee. They will be added as soon as the toffee has reached the correct temperature.
• Cook sugar mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches 298°F.
• Quickly stir in vanilla and salt and pour toffee onto the four pieces of parchment.
• Place the remaining four pieces greased side down on top of the toffee and use a rolling pin to roll the toffee to about ¼-inch thickness.
• Allow toffee to cool to room temperature. Store toffee without chocolate in an airtight box, or use an offset spatula to coat both sides of the toffee in tempered semisweet chocolate.
• Break toffee into shards and serve.
2 cups (450 grams) of butter
1 1/3 cups (250 grams) granulated sugar
2/3 cup (200 grams) maple syrup
1/3 cup, plus 1 Tbl (90 grams) water
1/4 cup, plus 1 Tbl (65 grams) glucose
1 tsp salt
3 tsp (15 grams) vanilla extract
1 cup (190 grams) 64% Recchiuti semisweet chocolate

A degree from SUU prepares students for the 21st Century in distinctive ways. A focus on Education Designed to Give Experience (EDGE) means SUU graduates leave campus with a competitive advantage as candidates for employment or graduate school. Students align with an engagement center, gain practical experience, and produce a capstone project; all of this while working closely with faculty and staff committed to their success.
Experiential Education (as in "to experience something" outside the classroom) is a process to apply learning beyond the classroom. The EDGE Program contributes to a high-caliber education by allowing students a formal opportunity to create their own experiential learning project while developing a richer and more sophisticated understanding of honoring the merger of thought and action.
Preparing for, and completing, your EDGE Project is a process in which you can construct a hands-on learning project of your own and help decide how it advances your education. This process gives students a superior academic experience and is a requirement for graduation with a bachelor's degree. You can choose to connect your project to your major or you can pursue another area of interest.
The EDGE Program is a five-step process
Examples of Experiential Activities Would Include
Disclaimer: We ask students to learn independently outside of the traditional classroom setting. While SUU makes efforts to offer students safe opportunities, it is not possible to control or anticipate all factors in experiences related to facilities, environments, equipment and individual behaviors that may contribute to each student's emotional, physical and social safety. Please exercise sound judgment and counsel with one of SUU's Engagement Center directors if you would like assistance managing any issues or concerns that may arise.

The employees of South Adams Savings Bank will put your shirt on their backs — if you're a customer.
ADAMS, Mass. — If everyone at the South Adams Savings Bank is wearing a promotional T-shirt, it must be the first Monday of the month, when the bank quite visibly takes care of business.
The bank's found a way to help its commercial clients by offering free advertising. The concept's simple: Provide a space for business clients to showcase business cards, brochures and fliers. Then pick one to be featured for a whole month on the South Adams Web site.
The dividend: You can't buy that kind of advertising.
"Oasis Liquors was the first one we featured," said bank President Charles O'Brien. "They were being complimented just about on a daily basis."
Businesses were a bit shy about jumping on board, said O'Brien and Amy Giroux, senior vice president of retail banking, but soon saw the benefits. The promotion's only been going a couple months but the number of businesses participating has doubled with 35 featured during April. "Good buzz goes around," said Giroux.
The idea was hatched by a member of the Taking Care of Business committee, a group of bank employees who discuss ways to aid customers. In addition to space in the bank for advertising, the workers don promotional garb as well.
The promotion not only helps get out the word about businesses doing business with the bank, it also helps other bank patrons connect with its retail customers. The bank also has branches in Williamstown, Cheshire and Lee.
"We're really happy to provide this benefit to our customers," said Giroux. "It's such a spot-on idea and it doesn't cost anything."
This month's featured business on the Web site — and on the bank's Facebook page — is Bedini & St. Pierre Building and Maintenance Contractors. Look for a new business May 3.
If you're interested in becoming a featured business, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Visitors Bureau wants to help the local travel industry harness the power of social media. On Thursday, April 8, the organization will host its "Eye on Travel 2010" conference at the Crowne Plaza, with the theme "Social Media Marketing."
The program, which runs from 1 to 5 p.m., includes a keynote by Ethan Zuckerman, senior researcher at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, and sessions on social media as it relates to customer service, how to use social media effectively, and emerging trends. For a full program, click here.
Conference fees are $69 for bureau or area chamber of commerce members; $99 for nonmembers. The registration deadline is Thursday, April 1.

- How to Read a Study Record
Emergency contraception is a method of birth control that can be used up to three days after sexual intercourse. Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) can be given to a woman before she needs them (advance provision) or when she needs them (emergency provision). This study will compare these two methods of providing ECPs.
Drug: emergency contraception (estrogen/progesterone)
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Factorial Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|A Second Chance With Emergency Contraception (ECP): Reducing Unintended Pregnancy
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|June 2001
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|May 2004
ECPs can give women a "second chance" to prevent an unintended pregnancy that might arise because of lack or improper/defective use of contraceptives. By using ECP, a woman can reduce her risk of pregnancy by at least 75%; however, there is little information on what distribution patterns and other factors are most likely to encourage ECP use. This study will compare the use and cost of two ECP distribution patterns: advance provision and emergency provision. It will also identify environmental, situational, and behavioral factors associated with ECP acceptance and use.
Participants in this study will be recruited from four family planning clinics in the Philadelphia area and five family planning clinics in the Pittsburgh area. Participants from the Philadelphia clinics will be given ECPs as part of a regular clinic visit (advance provision); participants from the Pittsburgh clinics will be given ECPs on an emergency basis (emergent provision). Each participant will complete a short intake form and will be issued a pager. Participants will be paged every month over an 18-month period as a reminder to respond to a short automated telephone survey on ECP, contraceptives, and pregnancy status. Approximately half of the participants will be randomly selected to participate in in-depth interviews at study entry and Months 9 and 18. Clinic visit data will augment the surveys to verify use of the clinic and contraceptive method and to develop cost data.

Say difference between Python and C++?
closed as not constructive by ChrisF♦ Jul 3 '12 at 21:17
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The main difference is in how they are used.
Scripts are typically quick and dirty. Say, a bash script to make your life easier. Whereas a 'programming' language is meant to be much more thought out and deliberate.
That's not to say that you can't do that with a 'scripting' language. You can make full-blown GUI applications (or web app) with python as well as C++. The thing with 'programming' languages is that they are usually faster, and offer more control over low-level things if you want.
'programming' languages are typically used in scenarios where the code will be around for a long time. If you want to write something quickly and then never use it again, 'scripting' languages are what you want.
All of the above is of course subject to a person's expertise in a given language. As long as a language is Turing Complete you can do pretty much anything with it. The only thing that controls what you can do with it is libraries and how 'high level' the language is (you can't
None. Scripting languages ARE (a subset of) programming languages.
From Wikipedia:
Scripting languages are programming languages.
The idea that the two types are separate ("versus") comes from people who are trapped in the mindset that a language cannot be both convenient and powerful. Mostly, these people have a C or C++ background, and they've worked hard to stay as close as possible to their language of origin (Java, C#). It's natural that they choose to denigrate whatever the new, popular language is this way.
"Scripting language" isn't a very useful term any more, but it does have some meaning. In my opinion, if you call a language a "scripting language", it should be a complement. It means that the language is suitable for scripting, rather than that it is not suitable for something else.
(+1 for all the answers naming concrete features; I think that supports this point.)
Scripting and Programming is not how you classify languages. Scripting and Programming is how you classify what you are doing with the language. But in the end , these are loose and overlapping classifications.
"Programming language" is the general term for all programming languages. "Scripting language" describes how any language is used in some specific context.
The main two areas which people usually refer to as "scripting" are:
So you can talk about the scripting language of a specific application, but as general classification, I think it isn't very useful to label a language as a scripting language, unless you are talking about a DSL for which a standalone execution model just doesn't exist.
I would recognize the Wikipedia entry on scripting languages as a reasonably complete and accurate description of scripting languages, which I would consider to be a subset of programming languages. Wikipedia gives some sense as to how the term has developed over the years, and the broad range of languages which it is applied to in common usage.
That being said, in my experience "scripting language" is a very fluid term, and I think it doesn't do at all to be pedantic over its definition. For one thing, programming language textbooks themselves do not agree on what the definition should be (I checked three). For another thing, many historic languages in the scripting domain have grown in power, just as their communities have innovated around them, and some have become reasonable programming languages for a wide variety of activities.
and goes on to make comparisons to sed, awk, and shell scripting languages. However, Perl has since grown into a much more complicated language with a substantial library of modules that also extend its reach beyond this initial domain.
I sometimes hear the distinction being made (even on this forum) that scripting languages are generally "less capable" than other programming languages. I think this is a poor way to describe the difference between them. IMO it's far more productive to evaluate each so-called scripting language on its own terms, considering both advantages and limitations when compared to other languages, and when evaluated for use in a particular application domain. Dr. Shriram Krishnamurthi's paper "Teaching Programming Languages in a Post-Linnæan Age" confirms a lot of my thoughts on the matter.
Mike's got the right idea - Compiled vs. interpreted, which results in the released package containing either an executable or a script, respectively. This has several consequences:
* I couldn't find a reference, but there's a quote that goes something like "Java isn't cross-platform, it is a platform".
Scripting languages usually don't have explicit mentions of data types (think Perl or Tcl). Programming languages (C, C++, Java) require you to explicitly specify data types.
Scripting languages are often interpreted, programming languages compiled.
Scripting languages are wildly used in doing glue code, programming languages tend to solve a range of problems, often domain specific.
My personal definition is that a scripting language is dynamically typed, provides some sort of an
There really isn't any technical difference. When you get right down to it, all programs are 'interpreted' by the hardware, so you can't draw a distinction between compiled and interpreted languages.
I see it as a difference between uses. Scripts are instructions to a program, say for configuration. Programs are seen by the end-user. Taking a web server as an example, scripts would be used to configure how the server presents a website, while the server (a program) does the actual presenting.
A language might be optimized for scripting, but if it is Turing complete, you could write a program in it. On the flip side, I've done "scripting" tasks in C when I wasn't familiar with a batch language. It's not the easiest or cleanest way to do things, but it works.
One difference is C++ is a compiled while Python is interpreted. A C++ program is compiled once. After that, it can be run any time. A Python program is compiled every time it is used.
Whether they are compiled or not, the distributed version of scripting languages is usually still the source file (.php, .pl, .py, .sh etc) whereas the distributed form of "programming languages" is usually a binary executable (may be bytecodes that runs on top of a VM).
Another use of scripting is to link actions together in ways which may need to change over time.
So you would write function blocks in, say C/C++, and call them using a script. The function blocks themselves remain constant over time but the way they are called can be easily adapted as needs change by changing the script.
There are no specific data types for variables in scripting languages while in programming languages the variable must have some data type declarations. Moreover, the scripts are directly executed step by step without being compiled whereas most programming languages like Java, C, and C++ are compiled first and then they give output.
The Software Engineering Radio podcast has an episode about scripting languages
Apart from compiled and interpreted code, the real difference between the two is incase of programming language the compiler can perform optimization of code where scripting language being interpreted runs as a sequence of steps.

Although for quite some time it did look like the iPad 3 would be launching toward the end of 2011, it now appears as if the device will actually be launching in the early part of 2012. The good news for consumers is that the device will now launch complete with the retina display that has been so popular on the unlocked iPhone 4 that the company has released. A number of reports from multiple sources have claimed that the third generation of the popular Apple iPad was looking at a fall or winter 2011 launch, but it now appears as if those rumors were halted because of manufacturing issues that have to do with the highly popular retina display. Apple has reportedly been having a number of issues with their manufacturers to get things running in a smooth and suitable fashion.
The problem came when they went to manufacture the iPad three 2048 x 1536 pixel display that was one of the selling points for the device. They were unable to manufacture the screen quickly enough for the device, and as a result Apple is forced to halt their operations and launch at a later date. It has been customary for the company to launch their devices during the spring, but it now looks as if we are looking at an early release next year perhaps before the spring during the later part of the winter.
It will be interesting to see how quickly they are able to launch the device in 2012. Apple is not a company that likes to fall behind their release schedule, and all of the problems that they inhabit their manufacturing companies over the course of the last few years have to have been wearing on them. It is not currently clear which manufacturing companies the problem with most prominently, but expect that information to be leaked at some point in the near future.
PureMobile carries a wide range of iPad accessories and unlocked cell phones like LG Mobile P970 Optimus, HTC 7 Surround, etc.

This novel begins before the invention of the calendar in prehistoric Poland. . . . {It is a} tale of a struggle between Lesniks ('foresters'), a tribe of cave-dwellers, hunters and gatherers, and Poles who already cultivate fields--'pola'--and derive their name from them. . . . The Jew Ben Dosa, a representative of civilization and a self-proclaimed evangelist of a distant religion, tries in vain to acquaint his savage friends with their names; they sound to them like dreams.

Down Vest (Girl's) (out-of-stock)
Out of Stock Product Number: 30313
Patagonia's inspiration for the girl's Down Vest came from the leaf-gathering season, with its cool temperatures and milkweed-scattering breezes. Worn on its own or paired with a shell, it provides core warmth in a compressible and feminine design. High-loft, 600-fill-power premium European goose down feels soft and forgiving and takes the chill off a late-season hike. Wind and moisture protection comes from the 100% recycled polyester fabric with its Deluge� DWR (durable water repellent) finish, an internal wind flap behind the front zipper and an adjustable drawcord hem. Some other things to note: asymmetric quilt lines keep the down from shifting and add aesthetic styling, the collar has a soft, brushed jersey fabric for comfort, and two zippered handwarmers include reflective webbing pulls for visibility. With a hand-me-down ID label.

|Tigers, Cougars, Indians And Red Tornadoes, Oh My.....
|Written by Staff Reports
|Wednesday, 15 May 2013 08:24
The Hickory High baseball (15-10) continued its winning ways by knocking off Asheville 7-2 Tuesday night at home in the second round of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Class 3A state
Winning pitcher Tyler Pait of the Red Tornadoes tossed a five hitter and struck out five. He had a perfect game for 4.2 innings. Andrew Baker backboned the offense with a two-run triple. The Red Tornadoes will play South Point (23-1), the No.1 seed from the Big South Conference, Friday night in the sectional finals. South Point advanced by knocking off West Henderson 5-3 Tuesday night.
Fred T. Foard (13-13) advanced to the sectional finals by holding on for a 6-4 win against North Gaston in Newton, N.C., Tuesday night. Winning pitcher Tyler Dickens helped his own cause with a first-inning home run. The Tigers built an early 6-0 lead, but hung on to win the game. Jordan Fulbright picked up the save in relief.
The Tigers, who finished in fifth place in the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference, will play Patton (15-9) at home Friday night. The Panthers, who will be members of the NW3A/4A Conference next season, defeated Crest 7-0 Tuesday night.
The St. Stephens High softball team marched its way into the sectional finals by knocking off Patton 5-1 in a second-round game in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Class 3A state playoffs. And Katie Baker, like she has all year, backboned her team in that win.
Baker, who tossed a no-hitter against West Henderson last Friday in the first round, followed that up with her second consecutive no-hitter Tuesday night. Baker allowed three walks and the only run that scored was unearned. But she also struck out 13 batters as the Indians (16-7) marched their way into the sectional finals Friday night at Enka (17-4), the No.1 seed from the Mountain Athletic 3A/4A Conference. Enka advanced by nipping Crest 3-2 Tuesday night.
Fred T. Foard advanced to the sectional finals by shutting out R.S. Central 3-0 in a second-round game Tuesday night. Lexi Schubert, who threw a perfect game against Forestview Friday night, threw a one-hitter on Tuesday. She walked one and struck out 17 batters. The Tigers (22-4), the No.1 seed among the Class 3A schools and the No.2 seed overall in the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference, will play Franklin (15-5) in the sectional championship game Friday night.
Franklin, the No.1 seed from the Western North Carolina Athletic Conference, defeated South Point 7-6 in extra innings.
In Class 4A, Alexander Central (27-1) advanced to the sectional finals by blanking McDowell 6-0 Tuesday night in Taylorsville. Winning pitcher Kiana Millsaps tossed a no-hitter. She struck out four and only allowed one base runner, who reached on error, spoiling her bid for a perfect game. The Cougars, the regular-season and tournament champions in the NW3A/4A, will play Lake Norman in the sectional championship game Friday night.
Lake Norman (20-2), the No.1 seed from the I-Meck 4A Conference, defeated Sun Valley 5-1 Tuesday night. Charlotte-Olympic elminiated South Caldwell 5-2 in a second-round game in Charlotte. The Spartans end their season with a 15-8 record.

According to this new data, while sales of cosmetics and toiletries slightly decreased by 0.8 percent last year, nail polish actually experienced double-digit growth, with a 14.3 percent increase in sales. I think it's safe to assume this is because more people are doing their own manicures and that nail polish is cheap. To see what else the study found, just keep reading.
The findings:
- Products with multiple benefits, like antiaging creams, performed well.
- Beauty products containing SPFs also did well.
- Partly due to H1N1, sales of antibacterial hand gels spiked.
- Sales of lipsticks and glosses decreased by 5.3 percent.
- The fragrance market performed the worst, perhaps because it's becoming an overwhelmingly crowded market. Also, scents are losing their appeal as gifting options.
- Shaving products, personal cleansing products, and deodorants suffered the least.

BRASHER FALLS Brasher officials will use the bulk of their latest casino gaming compact money to pay for engineering expenses related to the construction of their new highway garage.
They plan to use $34,740.75 of their $88,240.75 to cover the engineering costs of that project, which has been on the table for several years.
Town Supervisor M. James Dawson had said in September that the town originally had budgeted $1.3 million for the new building two years ago, and cost estimates from Beardsley Design Associates, Malone, its architectural firm, indicated it could cost anywhere from $1.2 million to $1.5 million to construct it.
He said the town already had spent more than $100,000 on the project, including the cost to purchase the land, conduct an archaeological study, drill and survey the property. There also have been expenses payable to Beardsley Design Associates.
Board members had moved ahead with plans for the garage in June, agreeing to enter into a contract with Beardsley to begin work on the building. The town garage in Helena was purchased from the St. Lawrence Seaway for $1 in 1958, and the town had to build the foundation and walls for the steel building that had served as a storage shed for the Seaway.
Town officials purchased 5.35 acres of property from Leon Dishaw on County Route 53 in Helena for $35,000 for the building.
Mr. Dawson said his intention is to construct the new highway garage using only casino gaming compact funds to avoid any impact on the towns taxpayers.
The town agreed this month to go out for bids for general construction work, plumbing work, heating, ventilation and air conditioning work and electrical work. Sealed bids are due by 4 p.m. Nov. 6.
Town officials also will use $20,000 for tourism initiatives, such as the annual Winter Carnival, Summer Festival and the towns cruise-in and car show.
They also plan to use $5,000 for gambling interdiction, which provides materials and speakers for students at St. Lawrence Central School.
Also on the list is $6,500 for engineering services for the proposed Brasher Falls Water District.
I want some money there just in case we need it, Mr. Dawson said of the joint project between the towns of Brasher and Stockholm that is still several years down the road.
An additional $12,000 will be used for administration and, at the urging of Councilman Mark Peets, town officials plan to set aside $10,000 that can be used to improve the multi-trail system in the Brasher State Forest, a move they hope will encourage the state Department of Environmental Conservation to open trails in the forest for recreational use.
Councilman John M. Keenan suggested that in the future, the town should work with other towns that receive the funds Massena, Bombay and Fort Covington to consider pooling some of the funds in a way that will benefit the entire region. Brasher officials suggested setting aside funding for trails in the state forest could pave the way in that area.
Among the other options was to look at pooling money for the Massena International Airport, according to Mr. Dawson.
Lets do some money for the airport. Thats one of my pet projects. That would help the whole region. A project like that is already preconceived, he said.
The town was required to submit its plans to Empire State Development for review and approval before it can spend the funds.
Somewhere along the line this is ridiculous, Mr. Keenan said of the short notice to submit the plans. The state never tells us when were going to get a check. In the meantime, things can happen that we couldnt see.
Mr. Dawson agreed, noting that the town had submitted a previous plan the first part of June and, two months later, had not yet received its check.
I complained. (St. Lawrence County Legislator) Tony Arquiett complained, Mr. Dawson said, noting they eventually got the check after a trip to Albany to air their concerns.
Before the plane landed (back home), the money was wired to Canton and Malone. It was sitting there, he said. If you owe the state money, you pay interest and penalties. You cant do it the other way around, so were at their mercy.

Customer Testimonials
Not only do I recommend you purchase this theme, I would go as far as saying that it is the best theme I have purchased on theme forest to date! 5 Stars and I can't wait to see more from this developer in the future.
Thanks ixtendo! So far this thing is SUPER easy to edit, really nicely CLEANLY coded which makes a big difference. I made a completely custom color scheme using the 'Find and Replace' tool in Dreamweaver in a matter of about 30 seconds; and the code is so nicely done I was able to figure out how to create my own "Mega menu" with that sort of dropdown on just one of my main tabs I needed it for, and even that only took me a few minutes. It hasn't even been 24 hours yet since I've purchased & bought the template but I've accomplished alot… really workable code, will buy from you again!
Hey guys. Was walking a regular client of mine through some designs on theme forest tonight, and I showed him this one. We had already looked at two other designs, and there were eight in the bookmark collection I put together for him. He told me, "Sam, stop right there. This is the one I want on my site." So I got it for him.
Thought I would chime in and let you know. It's really a beautiful piece.
Hi ixtendo,
this theme was exactly what I've been looking for. I'm using it for the soon-to-come relaunch of my small business website. This design is so clear and crisp, and it is amazing to see how seamlessly it integrates with current smartphone displays without any extra work. Also the Ajax mail form is very nice, for me it worked almost out-of-the-box.
Keep up the good work, and wish you many purchases, of course!
All the best from Berlin, Germany
ixtendo has awesome customer service. I loved working with this template and when I ran into some questions the ixtendo team was there with quick responses and solutions. Great job!
Hi Ixtendo, as I promised in my last comment, I purchased your great theme a second time for another job I made: http://www.biomarkt.com Wish you a big load of sales! Cheeerz!
Hello, I've tried a few other templates, but found Finesse to be a complete package, with all options anyone could ask for – and it is very easy to understand and customize. I use very few features and customized (changed!) quite a bit – it's an awesome template. Ixendo – awesome job! Thank you and much success, Christina http://www.parentingateenager.net
Absolutely outstanding template and even better after sales support, like none other here – thanx again guys!!
Just purchased the theme and I am blown away with the quality of it. The help file is great also. Keep up the great work.
Hi ixtendo, ... again you are the coding-hero! It works fantastic, thanx again. For my next project i'll buy another license of your great finesse-theme! by the way, here's the final project: http://www.vesterdruck.de (if you're interested…)
Ixtendo support is simply exceptional. Easily the best I have encountered on this site – thanx mate!
Thank you for a great customer support and a great template!
We will have you in mind when we searching for a new template.Best regards
As a lot of people have mentioned, this is a great template. I have not had any problems building and modifying my PHP site with this great product. I'm spoiled now…the level of documentation and clean, professional coding should be the benchmark!

R&G Racing Right Side Engine Cover Yamaha FZ8 / FZ1
R&G Racing Engine Covers have been developed in collaboration with race teams and have been crash tested in the R&G Racing Suzuki GSX-R Trophy. Crafted from 4mm polypropylene for strength, durability and good looks, they complement the R&G protection line perfectly.
Lighter than the heavy CNC protectors of the past, R&G Racing Engine Covers not only save weight, but can be quickly changed track-side. R and G Engine Covers have been designed specifically so that the motorcycle engine case does not have to be opened during install, negating the need to replace gaskets or fluids. Simply remove a few bolts, snap the R&G Racing Engine Cover into place, and re-install the original bolts. The covers could save you hundreds of dollars in the event of an accident.
R&G's entire range of Engine Covers have been approved by the British Superbike Championship (BSB) and the American Motorcycling Association (AMA) for use in any sanctioned races.
Note: Image for reference only. Actual Clutch Cover will vary slightly.

"You can't miss the slide," everyone and their brother told me as I prepared for my visit to Epic Games headquarters on Wednesday afternoon. After a few hours wandering about the East Coast Games Convention, chatting with the various developers and PR folks attending, I was almost more excited about the slide than I was my chance to lick Cliff's Transformers.
Now slide vicariously through me, my friends. Slide and be set free.
Update: Now with more video.
