The Rangers currently have five defensemen under the age of
28 on their roster and two more top prospects on the way, so it's very likely
New York will be looking to add some offensive firepower with its first-round
pick, No. 15 overall in the NHL Draft.
Between now and June 24th, we'll take a look at some of the
forwards that the Rangers might be thinking about taking on draft
day. Today, we look at…

Highlight Reel >
What They're Saying:
THN – "There is undersized and then there is Rocco Grimaldi
size. At just 5-foot-6, he would be one
of the shortest players in the NHL, but talent evaluators just can't shake the
fact the kid produces at an excellent clip, no matter what the venue. 'He's a special small player,' one scout
said. 'Everywhere he's been, he's been
dynamic. I don't know what he's listed
at, but he looks stocky.' And that's the
key: You can be short as long as you're stout and Grimaldi is strong on the
puck. In United States League play, he
was not afraid to throw hits and mix it up with larger competition and against
older college players, while still the NTDP's top scorer. Bound for North Dakota, Grimaldi's game is about speed
and his ability to put defenders on their heels is a main strength, as are his
hands. Don't be surprised if a team
trades up in the draft to make sure they grab this diminutive dangle king."
The Scouting Report – "Easily one of the more skilled
players available in the draft, Grimaldi has a proven track record of
production at every level. Strong work ethic and dedication to the game have
enabled him to develop skills in skating, passing, shooting and puck handling
that could comprise a video on "How To…." All indications are that he'll keep
developing as he moves up the ladder. The only obvious knock is his size."
Bruins 2011 Draft Watch –"Every time we watch him, we marvel
at how noticeable and dynamic a little player he is. He didn't get on the
scoresheet a bunch today, but he made a lot of plays defensively and on the PK
to balance it out. He's still got issues with the size and strength, but he
plays with so much intensity, and the fact that he made noticeable plays to
knock Scheifele off the puck (leading directly to a Boucher goal) and then did
it later to Travis Ewanyk, another guy much bigger than he, you have to
give the youngster credit. Even if the points aren't coming in bunches (2
goals, 5 assists) he's doing a bunch of other things to help his team winner."
Corey Pronman - "The most common phrase I hear in reference to Rocco Grimaldi
when I talk to scouts usually goes along the lines of, "If only he was
5'11", then he'd go first overall." He is one of the, if not the most
gifted player in this draft class from a pure hockey skills perspective.
Grimaldi's a true plus skater with well above-average acceleration and gets to
a plus top speed after a handful of strides. He's agile standing still and in
motion, and I've seen him out-skate a defender chasing him skating forward while
he was merely side stepping. He possesses plus puck skills and in regards to
when the puck is on his stick, there's really not a single area where there's
an issue. His hand-eye coordination, stick-handling, passing, even to a degree
his puck protection is all there and at a desirable level. Grimaldi's shot is
also at a plus level, and he can score with his wrist shot or slapper from well
beyond the crease area and he generates a large amount of power on all his
shots. He thinks the game at a solid to above-average level, has notable vision
with the puck that allows to him execute plus passes regularly, although I have
at times seem him force plays here and there. He's solid defensively, and is
effective at even-strength and on the penalty kill in that regard. Grimaldi's
intangibles are off the charts; he simply flies up and down the ice and does
whatever it takes to get the puck off players. Despite the 5'6" frame, he
regularly challenges players much bigger than him and wins his fair share of
battles although not enough to erase the liability. The frame will continue to
hamper his absolute potential for his entire career, but if there was ever an
ideal model of a player who could overcome being well below-average size-wise,
that player would be Rocco Grimaldi."
THN.com – "Although he stands just 5-foot-6, Grimaldi is a
big-time player and one whom scouts aren't going to let their GMs wait on come
draft day. He led Team USA
in scoring this season with 34 goals and 62 points in 50 games, playing mostly
on a line with J.T. Miller and Reid Boucher. 'I use my speed really well,' Grimaldi said. 'I try to play a skill game
and make my teammates better.' A California kid who went east to Michigan to play for the vaunted Little
Caesar's program, Grimaldi is a Detroit Red Wings fan and counts Pavel Datsyuk
as one of several players he tries to learn from. 'I've been a Red Wings fan all my life,' he
said. 'I just love watching them, I love how they play puck possession.' A tireless worker off the ice, Grimaldi is
known for his dedication in both practice and the weight room. His team has
been successful internationally this year and just took home gold at the World
Under-18 Championship. Familiarity within the two-year NTDP program certainly
helps. 'Last year was really important
for us,' he said, 'because you get to build relationships with the guys.' That chemistry has resulted in a good amount
of gold - and Grimaldi's not done yet. Though his Canadian League rights are
owned by powerhouse Portland, he's adamant he will be attending the University
of North Dakota next year."
AnnArbor.com – "Even as a kid, Rocco
Grimaldi struggled to find a hockey program that suited his needs. He was too aggressive and too advanced to
compete in Southern California house leagues
against players his age. The only option was to survive in a 9- and 10-year-old
league that occasionally had room for the gifted 7- or 8-year old. Rocco was 5."
NHL.com – "Rocco Grimaldi believes size and strength only
can get you so far. Eventually, speed and smarts will win out. It's a formula that has worked liked a charm
for the 5-foot-6, 163-pound center with the U.S. National Team Developmental
Program's Under-18 team. 'If ever I lose
a battle in the corner with a big guy, it's not because he's bigger or stronger
than me, it's because I did something wrong and he just took advantage,' the
17-year-old Grimaldi told NHL.com. 'I didn't get in or get out quick enough. It
really makes no difference to me how much a guy weighs. I'll go in there no
matter what because if I'm not willing to do that, then my teammates wouldn't
be able to rely on me and I definitely want them to be able to rely on me at
all times." Grimaldi needn't worry about not having an impact despite his
stature, that's for sure. He's been doing it since the age of 5 when he began
competing against kids twice his age in Southern
California on travel roller and ice hockey teams. I guess it's just something inside of
me," he said. "Some guys like playing in games where they can rack up
points against an inferior opponent, but that's not me. I want to be playing
against the best … playing for a division title or gold medal or tournament
championship. I like when there's something on the line or your season's at
stake, and being able to produce at that time.'"
ESPN.com – "Said one scout who scouted Rocco Grimaldi
extensively: 'He's ahead of Brian Gionta at the same stage in terms
of skating and skills, but he doesn't know the game as well as Gionta does.
Against draft-eligible kids he doesn't get pushed off the puck and he has a
wide stance that gives him real balance. That also keeps him so low that he's
hard to hit. When he has played against college players [with the USNTDP] it's
a different story. Other [USNTDP players] struggle with the physical play
against the older players too but you just can't see him growing enough or
getting that much stronger that he'll be able to fight through it. He's not a
jockey. He's more like a bowling ball.' The doubters will say that Grimaldi doesn't share the puck as much as he
could, or should. They'll also always drag height into the equation. Those who
are keenly interested though point to Gionta or Tyler Ennis in Buffalo as height-challenged
guys that are effective in the league. Coming out of the Five Nations, those scouts who didn't list him among
their top prospects before weren't about to change their minds -- he could have
lit up the tournament and they wouldn't have budged. But those who are open to
a 5-foot-6 guy with great speed are grading him up at this point. The
tournament might solidify his place in the No. 25-to-35 range."
Hockey Spy – "You'd think, watching him play, that
Grimaldi was at least 6'2", so it does seem a little shocking that a
player of his capabilities is only an inch taller than Nathan Gerbe. His
height gives him an advantage on skates with explosive acceleration and short,
quick strides that makes it easy to beat defenders. His shots are
deceptively quick, as well as accurate. Give him time to windup for a
slapshot and he will make any goalie pay. With his height limitations,
Grimaldi's stickwork is key because a taller defender means a longer reach.
Grimaldi's hockey smarts have been able to kick in to make moves before
the opposing player knows what hit him. Take into account his low center
of gravity, and you have a complete player who is very difficult to knock off
the puck."
The Hockey Writers – "Rocco Grimaldi is the most skilled
forward in the draft. He possesses an incredibly dynamic offensive game, and
has all the right tools. The question remains, what is holding back scouts from
declaring Grimaldi a consensus top five pick? To put it simply, his size could hold him back from being
elite. It's an unfortunate reality that players five and a half feet tall
aren't too common in the NHL, and a reality that Grimaldi will have to deal
with. Size is not something you can learn by putting extra hours in at the rink.
It is either something that you have, or you don't. Grimaldi spent the last two seasons playing
for the US National Development team honing those elite offensive skills, and
will take his talents to the University of North Dakota in the fall. Those elite offensive skills include;
lightning fast foot speed, a deadly quick release, dazzling agility, and a
MENSA level hockey IQ. Grimaldi has the full package of a dynamic offensive
player. Among all the talk of his
offensive ability, his heart and drive get lost when you read scouting reports.
But that doesn't mean it's not there. If Rocco Grimaldi were asked what the
most valuable thing he could bring to the team that drafts him would be, he
would tell you it's his drive to be the best, and be a great leader."
Kyle Woodlief, Red Line Report – "Grimaldi gets no respect
at all and is often completely overlooked simply because his stature at a
minuscule 5-6, 161 pounds. But he is the most explosive offensive force in the
draft with dynamic speed and the best one-timer in this year's class. Despite his
lack of size, he's aggressive, not afraid of traffic and is difficult to get a
clean hit on because of his east-west agility."

Thoughts: Grimaldi's skills, work ethic, and determination
make him a tempting, but he has a lot to overcome based solely on his
size. Grimaldi could be the most
talented player in the draft, but he can't escape the '5-6' number that is
pasted on all of his profiles. Still,
the fact is that shorter players don't often succeed in the NHL. Some teams will likely fall in love with
Grimaldi, but there's no doubt that he's a risk.
With Mats Zuccarello already on the roster and Christian
Thomas and Ryan Bourque on the way, the Rangers probably have their fill of
small young forwards. They'll likely be
looking to add size up front in this draft, and he'll be long gone before their
second round picks.

ORLEANS – The Lake Region Union High School Board recently tackled the issues of students dropping out of school and/or not finishing their graduation requirements. Some seniors are struggling to graduate despite having good grades during their high school years, while others just give up.
Principal Andre Messier said a lot of people at the school are doing "whatever we can" to get them to graduate.
"We will send certified letter after letter to the parents so they know what's going on," stated Messier. "In some cases there is not much parental support. We try to relay to the parent and student the importance that there is no wiggle room left; if you don't complete the requirements, you won't be able to graduate."
"Some students are behind in credits, and to some degree there should be an indication where the problem areas are," noted board member Mike Sanville. "I wonder if these seniors are engaged after June 9th. Do they have no sense of direction or long term vision?"

2012 absolutely flew by! I really can't believe it has come and gone.
Looking back, if I had to describe 2012 in three words, they would be: the unknown, change, progress. We started out the year not knowing where we would finish it, not knowing which PhD program Brett would get into and where we would live for the next 5-6 years. I didn't know what kind of job I would have, or even if I would have a job at all. Once we made the decision to move to Atlanta, we spent countless hours apartment and job searching and coordinating logistics of a big move. We left the town and school where we met and said lots of tearful goodbyes to good friends. We set off on the Blue Ridge Parkway and spent days winding through mountains without knowing exactly what the future held. Brett started a new program. I started a new job (and in some ways, a new career). We got a new puppy. And we got engaged.
It was a whirlwind of a year full of big changes. In many ways, I think I'm only beginning to stop reeling from all of them. And while it was definitely difficult, at times, to deal with so much change, it was also a great year! I got a job within two weeks of moving, which is something I'm so grateful for in this economic climate. I'm not entirely sure development is the career for me, but I'm learning so much and working with great people for a great organization. We found a gorgeous apartment. Our little puppy has brought us more joy, laughter, and cuddles than we ever thought possible. And Brett and I really grew as a couple. Somewhere along the way, we became this much stronger team and learned to work even better together.
I'm grateful for the holidays and the new year, because it gave me some time to reflect on just how big of a year 2012 was for me - and for Brett and I. It also gave me some time to stop looking backward and just spinning to keep up; to pause and look forward. And when I did, I realized that 2013 can be an absolutely fantastic year if I try and make it one. I want to use my time intentionally this year to grow as a person, to advance in my career, to pursue the things I'm passionate about, to think about what it is exactly I'm passionate about and want to spend my life doing, to get more organized, to write more, to volunteer more, and to read more. Not a small list, I know. But I want to make sure that as we settle into life here in the south that I'm really taking advantage of my talents and gifts, giving back to the world, and creating a foundation for the life that I've always dreamed of living. I want to let go of self-doubt and fear of failure and really pursue my goals. I need to start going after the ambitions that I guard closely deep down inside - ambitions that are too scary even to write down as new year's resolutions. I don't just want to get through this next year, spinning faster and faster until another year is over. I yearn to flourish.
So here is to a new year! Let's spend it being the very best version of ourselves and making the world a better place for women.

While most think of phones like the Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy S4, or Sony's line of phones when they think Android, LG changed the conversation with the launch of the LG G2. A true powerhouse, the G2 impressed with its elite processing power and even better battery. It was the souped up smartphone that converts IOS users to Android and other Android users to LG. With the pending launch of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the All New HTC One just around the corner, it's inevitable that the follow up, the LG G3, will be discussed as well. Here is what we know about the LG G3.
The new LG G3, first of all, is slated for a May release. This puts it in place to follow up both the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the All New HTC One, putting it in good stead to get ahead of the new Apple iPhone and not be too far away from the hot releases preceding it.
The most prominent feature we know about is the device's reported screen size. At 2560x1440. This would make this phone one of the first 2K screens in a consumer handheld device and slightly nudge itself ahead of it's major competitor the Galaxy S5. It's expected that the G3 will feature a 64-bit processor, once again putting it ahead of the GS3 and entering the fray with Apple for 64-bit supremacy. Camera-wise, the rumoured 16-megapixel puts it the same category as its competitors but miles behind some of the camera offerings being dangled by Sony and Nokia. Other rumours suggest the G3 could feature a water and dust proof chassis, making it possible that this phone could also focus on appealing to the fitness crowd.
The LG G3 should be another powerful offering from LG. We'll have to wait and see what else LG has in store over the coming weeks for the G3.

hi evryone..we were assigned to install linux server,and im having some research about it but, some are very complicated..please if anyone knows, give me the nsteps in installing linux server..or links to search for..thank you very much
Almost all linux flavours are capable of being a "server", you simply ensure the services you require are running and correctly configured. Some linux flavours are deliberately set up to be "servers" in the first place. Ubuntu server, Redhat server edition, ClearOS - even the ubiqutious NAS can act as a samba server and dhcp server etc. Perhaps the most useful out of the box experience can be had by installing Amahi Home Digital Assistant with Fedora14 DVD. The question you are asking has many answers thanks to Linux being so versatile. Other contributors here will have other flavours of linux to offer you as suggestions for instance. Perhaps it would be better if you wrote out a specification of what you want to achieve and then look for what will accomplish your specification for you. Good luck with it.

Congratulations to librarian Elizabeth Williams on the publication of Appalachian Travels: The Diary of Olive Dame Campbell!
In 1908 and 1909, noted social reformer and "songcatcher" Olive Dame Campbell traveled with her husband, John C. Campbell, through the Southern Highlands region of Appalachia to survey the social and economic conditions in mountain communities. Throughout the journey, Olive kept a detailed diary offering a vivid, entertaining, and personal account of the places the couple visited, the people they met, and the mountain cultures they encountered. Although John C. Campbell's book, The Southern Highlander and His Homeland, is cited by nearly every scholar writing about the region, little has been published about the Campbells themselves and their role in the sociological, educational, and cultural history of Appalachia. In this critical edition, Elizabeth McCutchen Williams makes Olive's diary widely accessible to scholars and students for the first time. Appalachian Travels only offers an invaluable account of mountain society at the turn of the twentieth century.
American folklorist Olive Dame Campbell (1882–1954) was the author or coauthor of numerous books, including English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians. In 1925, she founded the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina. Elizabeth McCutchen Williams is research librarian and assistant professor at Appalachian State University.
"A compelling account of turn-of-the-century Southern Appalachian society and culture based on the first impressions of an outsider who would later become a key interpreter of the region to the world beyond. Appalachian Travels is both an invaluable historical resource and a terrific read." — John C. Inscoe, author of Race, War, and Remembrance in the Appalachian South
"Olive Dame Campbell's fascinating and entertaining diary contains much of the first-hand evidence gathered for the Campbell's essential study, The Southern Highlander and His Homeland. It sheds new light on John and Olive Campbell but also on social conditions and daily life in Southern Appalachia, and the educational and religious work of protestant denominations in the area in the early twentieth century. Williams' enlightening introduction and authoritative annotations greatly enhance the value of this work: a significant addition to Appalachian scholarship." - Fred J. Hay, Anne Belk Distinguished Professor and Librarian of the W.L. Eury Appalachian Collection, Appalachian State University

Celebrate Banned Books Week @ Belk Library and Information Commons
With award winning authors Chris Crutcher and Lauren Myracle
Tuesday, Oct. 2 @ 7:00 pm
On-campus attendees: Belk Library Rm. 421
Virtual attendees: AETZone's Belk Library Forum
Chris Crutcher, winner of numerous writing awards, including the Intellectual Freedom Award from the National Coalition Against Censorship and New York Times bestselling author Lauren Myracle will be speaking to us virtually in the AETZone.
Chris Crutcher, one of the most frequently banned authors in North America - a fact he considers an accomplishment, rather than a drawback - is the author of fourteen books -- eleven novels, including his latest PERIOD 8, two short story collections and an autobiography. Prior to his work as an author, he taught school in Washington and California and was acting director of an Oakland alternative school for nearly a decade. That academic history, coupled with 25 years as a child and family therapist specializing in abuse and neglect and 30 years as a Spokane Child Protection Team leader, has infused his literary work with realism and emotional heft. His signature blend of tragedy and comedy has made him a favorite with teen and adult readers.
Lauren Myracle, one of the most challenged authors in 2009 and 2011, is the author of many young-adult novels including ttyl, ttfn and Shine all New York Times bestsellers. Myracle was born in Brevard, NC and grew up in Atlanta, GA. She earned a BA in English and Psychology from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. Later she earned an MA in English from Colorado State University, where she taught for two years, and an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College. A portion of the proceeds of the book sales from her latest novel Shine benefits the Matthew Shepard Foundation.

On-campus access to article databases will be available through a temporary portal -- we will link to this webpage prominently on the library's website.

Linney, author of more than 30 plays and three novels, died in January 2011 at the age of 80.
His inspiration for his early works was drawn from his ties to northwestern North Carolina. Although he was born in Philadelphia, Linney lived in the South until age 13, including Boone and Tennessee, where his father was a doctor. He spent time in Boone with his cousins Frank Coffey and the late Armfield Coffey, both of whom he considered brothers. Armfield Coffey was publisher, along with his wife Rachel Rivers-Coffey, of the Watauga Democrat newspaper.
Linney also maintained ties to Appalachian State University and its Department of Theatre and Dance. In 1998, the department produced his play "Heathen Valley," about a 19th-century Episcopal bishop who brought the word of God to a remote region of North Carolina. The play was adapted from Linney's novel of the same name.
Linney traveled to Boone to talk with the student actors about the play. In 1995, Linney received an honorary doctorate from the university and was the speaker at the undergraduate commencement that year. He was the Belk Distinguished Lecturer in the summer of 2005.
He was commissioned to write the play "Hisself," loosely based on Appalachian's cofounder B.B. Dougherty, which was premiered on campus during the university centennial celebration in 1999.
Linney's other plays with Appalachian themes are "Holy Ghosts," "Tennessee," "Sand Mountain" and "Gint." He also wrote "Old Man Joseph and His Family" (1978), "The Captivity of Pixie Shedman" (1981), "The Sorrows of Frederick" (1991), "Ambrosio" (1992) and "A Lesson Before Dying" (2000) based on the novel by Ernest J. Gaines.
The Romulus Linney collection includes his correspondence, manuscripts, working copies of his works with notes, and a collection of his published writings and research materials. The donation also includes photographs of his productions and of family members, recordings of his lectures, production posters, theatre programs from his produced plays, reviews, and awards and honors.

Today I decided to publicly release my quake live movement training map included with 3 other bundled training maps. I am also releasing my large freestyle map that contains a loop de loop, half pipes, quarter pipes, all sorts of ramps, and many jumps. I originally made it for myself and had a couple friends test it out for bugs. In total I spent around 60-80 hours on all of them and before making these maps I knew nothing about map making whatsoever for QL/Q3 or any modern FPS. A lot of input was received and many changes were made to make it well rounded. Hopefully people can get something out of it, I feel like it has made my movement better and I believe it can help a lot of people too.
The main training map, which is run by /exec freaktrain is a full 15 checkpoint training run encompassing most of the basic movement techniques used in game. Movement control is more important in my map than gaining speed, although the advanced paths require some extra UPS.
The second map, /exec freaktrainB2R is an experiment in training for the infamous bridge to rail jump. It includes 9 different levels of bridge to rail training from beginner to advanced.
The third map, /exec freaktrainweaps is a weapons training/jumping map. There are 5 different portals to choose from at the start and each one brings you to a different area. The areas include "Rocket Jump Course", "Distance Jumps", "Precision Jumps", "Rail Movement Training", and "Wall Navigation".
The last map in freaktrainfull.pk3, /exec mm_freak is a Muscle Memory Training map inspired by Counter Strike players and the tactic they use for simple MM training. This map is very small compared to the others but is a useful tool for anyones aim training.
DEFRAG MAP - freaktrainfull.pk3(9.2MB)
This pk3 includes 4 maps, load them by using /exec freaktrain, /exec freaktrainB2R, /exec freaktrainweaps, and /exec mm_freak.
README - readmeFREAKTRAIN.txt
Make sure to read this to know how to install, load the maps, and what is included in each map.
FREESTYLE MAP - freakfreestyle.pk3(5.2mb)
This map can be run with /map freakfreestyle and is two large freestyle rooms stacked on top of each other with many different routes and places to experiment with movement.
Video of the main training run, /exec freaktrain.
Video of advanced paths from the training run, /exec freaktrain.
Video of runs from the weapons training map, /exec freaktrainweaps.
Video of FAT3's plasma wall navigation, /exec freaktrainweaps.
Why won't the map load when I used /exec freaktrain?
If the map will not run, make sure you put the file in the right place first. There are two baseq3 directories in quakelive and the map should only be placed in the baseq3 that has your existing maps (aerowalk, bloodrun, campgrounds, etc). After placing the file in your baseq3 maps folder, you have to restart quake live in order to get the map to go into your map pool for loading in game. The README explains where the different directories are located.
The map is in the right place, and I know I just put it there. Why will it still not run?
I just tried to run the map and it didn't work, I went back to the maps folder and the file is gone?
When quakelive opens it deletes all foreign pk3 files that are not authenticated. This can be avoided by setting the file to READONLY after you have placed it in the baseq3 maps folder. You can right click the file and go to properties, then select the read only checkbox. This will make sure that quakelive doesn't delete the file when quakelive is run.
Some of the textures look missing/wierd in the map, why is this?
When I created this map I used some premium graphics. I was a standard user at the time but didn't know that if the person running the map had never downloaded the premium maps that I pulled the graphics from, there would be some texture errors. This can be avoided obviously by going premium, or by having a friend invite you to a premium server and loading various premium maps.
DEVMAP (how to enable cheats):
Loading the maps with cheats enabled is easy. Run the maps with these commands to enable cheats:
/devmap freaktrainfull
/devmap freaktrainB2R
/devmap freaktrain2 - weapons training map
/devmap mm_freak
/devmap freakfreestyle
A few devmap cheats:
/give all
/give haste
/give quad damage
Enjoy the maps and if you'd like, give some feedback/demos/screenshots/whatever. Big shout out to XDC for giving me advice on problems that arose during the map making process!

What It Is
What It Is
Today's kids are very tech-savvy. Even the youngest kids know how to use the same gadgets that mom or dad use, and they want to. However, some parents may be wary of letting their 4-year-old play with an expensive iPad. LeapFrog introduces its LeapPad Explorer, which is designed to look and work like an iPad or other tablet device and offers kids an age-appropriate and educational tablet experience.
The LeapPad Explorer features a built-in camera/video recorder, a built-in microphone, and a library of more than 100 learning game cartridges, books, apps, and videos. Just like mom and dad's tablet, kids can touch the LeapPad's five-inch screen with their finger or tap it with the stylus. Kids can also turn, twist, and shake the tablet for motion-based play. LeapPad also works with all Leapster Explorer and LeapFrog Explorer cartridge games and downloadable apps. Games auto adjust so kids can learn at the right pace. Each LeapPad book app is actually three books in one, offering each story at three different reading levels. LeapPad remembers a child's progress from game to game and book to book to keep the content challenging and engaging. Content includes everything from phonics skills, mathematics, and spelling to geography, world languages, music, creativity, science, and life skills. Kids can also practice their writing skills with step-by-step guidance and a child-sized stylus.
With the reading apps, kids can touch the words to hear them sounded out and open a visual dictionary. With the microphone, kids can record their own narration. These apps feature animation and motion-based activities with popular characters, such as Lightning McQueen and Cinderella.
The LeapPad has 2GB of memory for storing pictures and videos. It also includes a complete suite of creativity tools. LeapPad's Animation Studio shows kids how to animate Disney characters. With Story Studio, kids create their own stories using the built-in camera, personalized artwork, and even their own voice. Parents can easily and instantly share their children's masterpieces with family and friends via email or Facebook.
Why It's Fun
The LeapPad is a new and revolutionary item in the educational toy market. LeapFrog has combined the latest technology, educational curriculum, and entertaining characters in a form that mirrors popular adult tablets. Kids will love having their own tablet device just like mom and dad. The LeapPad offers kids the ability to create their own personalized experiences and have fun while learning at their own pace with content that automatically adjusts to their skill level.
Who It's For
The LeapPad Explorer is for ages 4—9.
What to Be Aware of

Try port 8080 to see if they blocked that one as well ;-) If they knew what they were doing, they'd have done that , too.
For some extremly stupid reason the adminstration at my old school decided to block access to the internet via port 80. So some of my buddies are asking me for help. I am wondering if there is something I can do so that some how access web sites after 11pm by some how accesing it through my server through like port 11 or 81 or something like that. Any ideas?
Try port 8080 to see if they blocked that one as well ;-) If they knew what they were doing, they'd have done that , too.
Here's the problem. They blocked it at the outgoing requests to port 80. If you get the main server to re-route port 80 to your desired port, then you would be fine. You could also see if thereis a way you can tell DNS servers to forward to another port also. There might be another answer, but not one I'm aware of.
Another option though, is if they didn't block incoming requests to port 80, you could always try to try to do a connection share with someone over a rogue port.
If SSH port is open, give them accounts and install w3m.
they were able to access my friend's site http://pwn3d.us:8080
I guess I could possibly be a dns server. But that wont give them freedom to go to any and all sites. I don't think they would be a fan of a text browsers. The guys at my old school are not to technical inclied... I was thinking maybe they could like got to my url which would be like on port 81 and then from there browse sites through me somehow...
yes you can setup a proxy server. a proxy works like this, their computer goes to yours which is outside the firewall, on say port 81.
your box connects to the website and then sends all that data back to your friend.
look into squid or just http proxy at freshmeat.net
good luck

The logical side of me says no chance, but the fan in me says, sure why not.
Worst thing that could happen is he gets hit around, and he starts next season at AAA....

I wouldn't be shocked if he were brought up and pitched a few innings out of the bullpen, but still think it's more likely he spends the year in the minors. The fact that it's even discussion worthy is exciting, though.

A sewer outfall line located in Sunnyside City is in "rough shape" and a "major overhaul" may be needed to help fix problems associated with it, according to Warren Monroe, a senior construction manager with Jones and DeMille Engineering.
An agreement between the city and Jones and DeMille had the engineering company look at the sewer line to determine if there were any problems with backup in the line. Twin "D" Inc., used video equipment to look into the line and after looking at some of the feedback "things look pretty rough," according to Monroe.
"We knew there would be problems before looking into the line," Monroe said. "No work has been done for some time on the line. Sludge, rocks, sediments and other foreign objects are located in the bottom of the manholes." Certain sections of the line needed to be cleaned multiple times to better assess the line's condition, Monroe added.
East Carbon noticed there was a buildup on the sewer line that is independent from their collection system. About two inches of a 12 inch pipe, carrying raw effluent from Sunnyside City into the common outfall line of East Carbon, was backing up, Monroe said.
About 6,200 feet of line was looked at during the survey. During the survey there were 47 different roots where the root balls were so big the camera put into the line could not pass through. Also there were 34 different cracks in the pipeline in numerous sections of the line and about seven different places where there are holes in the line.
"There is evidence that within the last six months that sewage has backed up and is spilling out through the holes in that pipe," Monroe said. "Sunnyside should think about doing a major project."
The lines in questions are made of different types of material including concrete, clay and steel and some of the concrete pipes are about 20 years old.
There was debate between East Carbon and Sunnyside over the ownership of the line and the inter-local agreement says that Sunnyside owns the concrete pipe clear into East Carbon City going all the way to the main manhole intersection at Grassy Trail and Wilkins, according to Monroe.
With all of the information provided to them, the council began discussing their next move on the issue. Monroe said the city council first needs to wait for a response from rural development on the grant of their contribution for the project to pay for the rest of the engineering costs for checking the lines. Jones and DeMille is into the project for about $7,000, Monroe said.
"It's obvious there is a need for a project," Monroe said. "It needs a major overhaul."
Councilman Tony Riffle suggested that the city look into fixing and replacing all of the pipeline instead of just fixing certain sections of the pipe. This would take away the possibility of having to go back soon after and do more work on the line, he said.
"I've seen this done so many times, just get it done. Get it done right and then you don't have to worry about it later," Riffle said.

Re: Starrett-Jenks Morgan45 info-opinions
Hi, Mick. Have been very lax with my online community. Guess it's that I'm on Hawaii time. Let me know if you're still prepping for the voyage and we can discuss items I brought along or would have now that I'm here. Had the boat up on the north shore of Kauai for this summer. Can't stay at Hanalei Bay for the winter. Big northerly swells make it impossible for boats but ideal for surfing at all levels. Nawiliwili is a snug harbor for wintering on Kauai so I left past Tuesday to have a leisurely sail with my lady friend Ina around the Na Pali side all the way to Nawiliwili. All was fine up until the couple of miles. We had been motor sailing with reefer main and genny for a few hours in 20 kt winds and 6-9 ft swells. A little wet but nothing scary at all. Exciting actually. Very proud of how she was handling the conditions. We tacked over to bring the breeze onto the starboard side in order to make our last run up the coast to the harbor when BANG and down swings the upper half of the mast like a closing switchblade knife. Long story short. All is well...and I'm wanting to find out who made the masts so that I can get a sleeve insert. May have to start a new forum about this, but gotta start somewhere. Hopefully the OR 45'ers will respond!
Re: Starrett-Jenks Morgan45 info-opinions
You mentioned in an earlier post that you were frantically making the boat ready for an offshore passage and now it seems you did in fact succeed with that. Congratulations on your trip to HI. 21 days seems a good time based on other accounts I've read but I want to check the distance to get an idea of your daily run's.
As I'm preparing Mysti for an offshore passage I would like to know what you added to JUJU in preparation for the trip. Also what you wished you had added and maybe what you added that turned out to be not so important. I've got a wish list that is longer than my bank account so I'm trying to prioritize. The top items are a wind vane steering unit, an autopilot, a SSB radio and more solar. I'm in the process of building a auxiliary rudder steering vane that is not going to look very pretty but should do the job. What autopilot do you have on JUJU? Any recommendations will be appreciated. (Oh; forgot about the #1 item on my list: life raft.)
Yours is the second OR45 that I know has crossed the Pacific. I communicated with a couple a few years ago that bought one in Florida and sailed it home to Australia via the Panama Canal and the coconut milk run. They had no complaints about the offshore performance.
Note: Just for info to all, Charley Morgan refers to this design as the OR45 (Ocean Racer 45). Boats are typically referenced to there designer and not the builder. I met him briefly last year and he said he had fond memories of the design but I didn't get but a brief minute with him.
Attention: Serial Number questions. I do believe that every manufacturer is issued a 3 letter code for their name so the SJK in the serial number is just that; a code for them issued by DOT.
Best to all, Mick s/v Mysti

Re: Starrett-Jenks Morgan45 info-opinions
Update to Pacific crossing:
Left San Francisco on July 2,2014 and arrived Hanalei Bay July 23. Encountered two storms along the way. First was Douglass while 2-3 days out from SF. Lost a jerry jug or two over the side when our wood slats parted. Flipped the inflatable right side up and put the remaining jugs inside it. Added additional webbing straps to further secure it. Worked fine for the remainder of the journey. Second storm we dodged as it was ahead to our port way off on the horizon as we were closing with Oahu. We were about a day out and could see overhead lightning flashes as well as on the horizon or beyond to port. At no time did we feel anxious,etc. flew the asymmetrical kite some. Generally removed it at night. Used the Monitor extensively. Had to lean over the stern at one point to re tighten some of the bolts that had come loose. Happy with its steering capabilities but still learning to balance the helm as much as possible before engaging the wind vane. Less stress on the device that way. Saw only flying fish and sea birds the entire way. Maybe three tankers total. A few contrails during the day and moving lights at night. All told, I wouldn't have missed it for the world! Further updates to follow.
Re: Starrett-Jenks Morgan45 info-opinions
Summer is over!
Re: Starrett-Jenks Morgan45 info-opinions
Thank you. I will check next time. I am afraid I wont find it. Transom had been modified to get a swim transom. S/n could have been removed then. Unless it is inside ?
Re: Starrett-Jenks Morgan45 info-opinions
Well, the voyage to Hawaii is now in full swing. A whole lotta stuff to get and install. If anyone has had to outfit a boat for blue water sailing I'm sure I have your sympathy. LOL. Excited, elated, and scared sh__less all at the same time! Wish us luck on getting it together by July 2nd. Three of us are going- one with previous experience. Leaving from San Francisco.
Re: Starrett-Jenks Morgan45 info-opinions
Hi, Pierre. On Juju the number is inscribed on the starboard, upper corner of the transom. I imagine you would see the same on your boat.
Re: Starrett-Jenks Morgan45 info-opinions
Where do you find your serial number on the hull ?
Re: Starrett-Jenks Morgan45 info-opinions
Went sailing this past Friday on our S&J 45 JUJU. A friend and I sailed her out the Golden Gate here in California for a very rollicking sail beyond the Farallon Islands to a point about 20 nm WSW of them. 15-20 kt wind starting out becoming 20-25 as the day progressed. W-NW winds that never abated all they the day and night. Northwesterly swells from 6-9(?) ft accompanied the winds. Bright sunny weather. Cloudless really. Clear starry night sky. First time taking her offshore that far. Full main and 85% high clewed roller furling jib was carried all day and night.
I am totally enamoured of her sailing abilities and have no hesitation of taking her to Hawaii in July. Will shadow the Pac Cup fleet most likely. Mums the word!!
It was very rough out there with lots of spray. Her bow never nose dived and her side deck only occasionally scooped water when she cleaved some of the higher waves. Her auto pilot did most of the work during the 22 hr non stop excursion. We only had to move about trimming her sails to put as less stress as possible on the pilot. I can't say enough about how happy I am with how well she handled a very rough and boisterous sea state. We each fell prey to mal de mer but am not placing the blame on this "hobby-horsing" I've heard about when referring to how these boats sail. I think my friend would have become ill no matter what boat based on our own heartiness AND the conditions of the moment.
I have enjoyed sailing on the Bay always and based on earlier accounts of her talents on this forum felt she would make a fine offshore sailing craft. Well, now I can say that based on my own experience she is all that and more. "The proof is in the pudding" has never been truer for us and JUJU.

It looks like children living in Watertown will continue to play T-ball and youth baseball for free through the city Parks and Recreation Department.
After receiving feedback from the Watertown City Council last week, Parks Department staff dropped plans to charge city residents $20 each for T-ball and youth baseball.
Under an amended set of fees, those living outside the city would be charged $20 for those activities.
However, the Parks Department has proposed a charge of $5 for swimming lessons for Watertown residents and $20 for children living outside the city. Swimming lessons previously were offered for free.
The proposed charges are among amended fees introduced by Parks and Recreation Department staff at Monday nights City Council meeting. Council members took no action; a resolution will be drawn up for the June 3 meeting.
I think it makes much more sense, Councilwoman Teresa R. Macaluso said after seeing the changes.
Last week, the City Council discussed new fees for existing programs and additional activities. The council instructed staff to continue to work on the changes.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham and Councilman Joseph M. Butler Jr. contended that some families cannot afford high fees.
Council members also were adamant that non-city residents should pay more than Watertown residents for the programs.
Under what was presented Monday night, the cost for golf and tennis lessons for everyone would go up.
Tennis would increase from $5 to $10 for Watertown residents and to $30 for those who live outside the city.
Golf lessons would increase from $5 to $20 for city residents and to $50 for non-city residents.
Parks and Recreation Superintendent Erin E. Gardner was instructed by City Manager Sharon A. Addison to tell staff to come up with new fees that would pay 50 percent of the citys cost to offer the programs.
Mrs. Gardner also has unveiled a series of new programs and activities that she would like to offer this year.
The programs include adult kickball and volleyball leagues, a boot camp exercise program for adults, horseback riding, family yoga, childrens Zumba, scuba diving lessons, a youth running club and a fishing clinic.
Most of the activities will be held at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds off Coffeen Street.
Fees for those activities also have been amended. The fishing clinic and childrens Zumba would cost $15 for city residents and $35 for non-city residents; family yoga, $10 and $35; youth running club, $5 and $20; scuba diving, $20 and $60; exercise boot camp, $20 and $50, and horseback riding, $20 and $60.
A season skating pass would cost $25 for Watertown residents and $40 for non-residents.
It would cost $50 to rent a pavilion at the fairgrounds, Veterans Memorial Riverwalk Park and Marble Street Park.

Video: 7 Newfane HS Baseball Players Facing More Punishment
NEWFANE, NY-- The seven teenagers from Newfane High School who were arrested last week in South Carolina are facing more punishment from the school district.
Police in Myrtle Beach say the teenagers, who were in town for a baseball tournament, allegedly stole several pairs of expensive sunglasses from a store.
In addition to being suspended from school for three days, the Superintendent and the district's Athletic Code of conduct Committee are requiring the students to serve 60 hours of community service.
The entire team will forfeit the first two games of the season. After those two games, the seven players will be suspended from the team for half of the rest of the season. The entire team will also have to forfeit postseason games.
Four of the seven students accused will meet with the Superintendent on Thursday and could face more sanctions by the school district.

|More Fraud Warnings
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 24 June 2013 05:54
Area law enforcement agencies are urging the public to be cautious after a number of recent reports of fraud and scams in Watauga County. On Friday, a man reported to the Boone Police Department that he had been the victim of a fraud—one Boone Police identified as the "Nigerian check scam"
fraud, saying he was contacted online in response to a Craigslist advertisement. The suspect purchased the item for sale with a check issued in an amount greater than the price of the item, with the seller asked to distribute the overage to three different locations via Western Union—two in the U.S. and one in Nigeria. As is usually the case, the seller later was contacted by his bank and told that the check to him was worthless. Police say financial institutions often hold customers responsible for money lost as a result of a scam, so caution is the word, and exchanging funds in a trustworthy, verifiable way.
The police department reminded residents that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Any promises of large sums of money by unknown people should be carefully scrutinized.
Avoid responding to:
-- Any correspondence that offers money but requests that you pay a fee first.
-- Any correspondence that offers a check and requests that you take a percentage and then use Western Union to send the remaining money somewhere else. The use of Western Union is common in these scams and should be a red flag.
-- Any prize winnings from contests that you did not participate in and that request you pay postage and handling, other charges, or request banking information such as an account number in advance.
-- If the person contacting you advises you against speaking with your bank, attorney or contacting the company they say they represent before fulfilling their request.
-- If the contact is requesting that you assist them in getting money out of their country.
-- If the contact is telling you that you are receiving an inheritance from someone you don't know.
