If history has proven anything its that strange things can and often do happen in the Frontier League boys basketball playoffs at Jefferson Community College.
For instance, big underdogs can surprise higher seeds, or huge favorites stumbling to closer-than-expected victories.
Top-seeded Carthage and No. 2 Indian River were both wary of such scenarios after the Comets and Warriors beat their A Division semifinal foes easily in their two regular-season meetings. But both delivered knockout punches Tuesday night, one early and one late, to avoid upsets and set up Saturdays championship game at JCC.
Indian River pulled away in the second half to beat No. 3 IHC, 63-32, in the first semifinal. Carthage raced to a 32-2 lead and coasted to a 61-38 win over No. 4 Watertown.
Carthage won both meetings with Indian River this season, 59-43 on the road and 66-48 at home.
The Warriors allowed the Cavaliers to stay in the game late in the third quarter when Tim Callahans team put the hammer down.
Leading just 33-25 with two minutes left in the period, Indian River (13-4) scored 22 of the next 23 points, pressuring IHC into turnover after turnover, and converting those mistakes into easy hoops on the other end.
Our pressure really hadnt affected them much the first two games, Callahan said. But tonight we were able to get in the passing lanes, get a lot of deflections and then make them pay on the other end.
Junior Shelton Williams scored 18 points for Indian River, while junior Daniel Angelo added 12. Williams said communication on defense was the key to helping his club earn the easy victory.
We really talked and played together, and thats why our defense really got tough the second half, Williams said. Our offense wasnt really clicking, but we got enough easy baskets to make a difference.
Callahan was also pleased with how much effort his team put into a game that figured to be one-sided.
Sometimes you kind of go through the motions, Callahan said. But the kids have been working really hard in practice, and brought that energy to the court tonight.
Indian River dominated the offensive glass and tracked down almost every loose ball available. Callahan also received support off the bench with Carlos Guitierrez scoring nine points and junior varsity promotion Elijah Franklin contributing four.
Different guys have stepped up and given us a lift, Callahan said.
As for a third meeting with Carthage, Callahan said the Warriors must pressure the ball and get some easy baskets. But Carthage is such a good passing team, they can hurt you at almost every position.
Jude Whalen scored nine points and Jude Fusilli had eight for IHC, which finished a disappointing season at 5-12.
Its the same old story for us, IHC coach Mike Delaney said. We turn the ball over more way too much and go on long scoring droughts.
The high-flying Comets (16-1), who have won 14 consecutive games, made sure the Cyclones never got any confidence by scoring the first 17 points of the game and holding the Cyclones without a field goal until the final two minutes of the second quarter.
Coach (Jeff Ventiquattro) told us to treat this game like both teams were 0-0, and to wipe the slate clean in the postseason, said Carthage junior Walter Jeter, who scored 18 points. Our mindset was like it always is, play tough defense and that will lead to good offense.
Nine other Comets hit the scoreboard as they shared the ball well and moved the ball as smoothly as they have all season.
We made quick, confident passes tonight, Ventiquattro said. We got good looks because we didnt just settle for the first shot.
Sophomore Peyton McLaurin made the first two buckets, and Jeter added five first-quarter points en route to a 12-0 lead. WHS, meanwhile, missed all 10 of its first-quarter shots and had six turnovers.
Carthage continued to roll in the second quarter, extending the lead to 17-0 before Willie Scott hit two free throws to finally get WHS on the board. Scotts driving lay-up with two minutes left in the half broke a 0-for-20 Cyclone drought from the field.
Weve been working hard on running the break with the pass instead of the dribble, Ventiquattro said. Peyton really sees the floor well, and his development at the point has been one of the reasons weve been so successful.
Jeter said continued defensive pressure and playing unselfish basketball will be the keys to what hopefully is a long postseason run.
We look for each other so well, and weve got five guys that can score at any time, Jeter said. Thats great balance.
Christian Jorden and Siraj Sindhu scored 10 points each for WHS (4-12).

After seeing 5 different MD over a 3 year span he was the only one that was able to diagnose me. He and his assistant Barbara set up appoinments with other specialists to get the tests I needed done in as short a period of time as possible. I was from out of town and disabled so was staying in a shelter. I was severly depressed as no one could figure out what was wrong with me. Thank God for Dr. Ginsberg. I cannot recommend him enough!!!!!!

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
It was an improbable end to one of the longest region winning streaks in 3A volleyball. After beating one of the states top ranked teams on Tuesday, the Lady Dino volleyball team got swept by one of the weaker teams in the region on Thursday. ALA downed the Dinos 26-24, 26-24, 25-20 to end the two and a half year streak by the Lady Dinos in region competition.
Carbon's kill leader, Joy Malone, was out with an injury and the Dinos struggled to find someone to step up and finish off rallies. In game one all the Dinos needed was a point to put ALA away and a wayward serve game the opportunity back to the Eagles and they capitalized to take the win.
In game two Carbon again was at set point and gave it back to the Eagles to finish them off.
For the final game, Carbon trailed most of the way, but made some small rallies to gain ground. But in the end it just wasn't enough and the streak was over.
Carbon is now tied with Wasatch for first in the region at 3-1 as they begin the second half of play.
Coach Bob Potts struggled to find words to say after the match. "Disappointed. It was like they lacked focus. Its not that they didn't play hard, because they did. But they were out of position and out of step the entire match."
When asked about how the absence of Malone hurt he replied, "Joy (Malone) does get 20-30 kills a night, but she is just one player. We need someone to step up when she isn't in. Next season we won't have her and who will be ready to take over what she does?"
The team will have a week to work on issues that cropped up in the loss before entertaining Park City on Oct. 6.

An update on Chicago Fire loanee Grant Ward's recovery from surgery to repair broken metatarsal in his foot, from the man himself...
Been out 6 weeks with this injury now and I ran for the first time today, got a bit of ball work in aswell, nearly there!
— Grant Ward (@GrantWard_) April 22, 2014
Seems like we could be seeing Grant Stateside sometime soon... In case you've forgotten, a look back on this golazo he scored for the team in preseason vs. Colorado...
The Fire's Athletico Injury Report has become much shorter with a number of players coming off the list in the last week.
Daniel Paladini (left calf inflammation), Maicon Santos (right shoulder sprain), Hunter Jumper (right groin tightness) and Yazid Atouba (right ankle sprain) all came off the report over the last week and will be available for selection by Frank Klopas in Sunday's showdown with D.C. United.
The one addition to the list this week is captain Logan Pause who is listed as questionable after suffering a left groin injury just before halftime of Tuesday's 2-0 victory over the Charlotte Eagles.
Should he be unable to go, Paladini will most likely step back into the Fire midfield in his stead.
Arne Friedrich is back in Germany again receiving treatment for his hip problem while Steven Kinney remains out with a right quad strain.
A quick update on the injury front for Sunday's game vs. New York...
MLSsoccer.com's Franco Panizio reports that forward Fabian Espindola, who has been listed as questionable all week with a hamstring strain, will not be traveling to Chicago for Sunday's game.
Espindola also missed Red Bull's 2-1 win over Philadelphia last week.
Panizio also reports that frontline partner Thierry Henry will be part of the 18, though he seems likely to come off the bench for the second-straight week.
Also listed as questionable in recovery from an MCL strain, the Frenchman played 31 minutes and scored the game-winner in his team's victory over the Union.
On the Fire front, the latest Athletico Injury Report released Friday saw Michael Videira and Steven Kinney removed from the list, though both have been out of action for multiple weeks.
The Fire will be thin in midfield if questionable players Dilly Duka and Patrick Nyarko (hamstring tightness) and Alex (calf contusion) are unable to go on Sunday.
Twitter is great for many reasons. Today's its awesome because we got an update on how the team's star center back is doing on his hamstring rehab in Germany...
Working on my comeback. Getting better. Thanks to Thomas and #DaVinciPhysioMed Getting back to #Chicago on 26th twitter.com/arnefriedrich/…
— Arne Friedrich (@arnefriedrich) March 18, 2013
See you next Tuesday, Arne!

Employment and Acceptance into Advanced Degree Programs
Students apply to our master's program in English with a number of careers in mind. For some the MA is a first step in their plan to obtain a PhD; these students find their course taking and summer capstone experience (either an MA Essay or an MA Exam) valuable preparation for their future academic work and a valuable credential when they apply to PhD programs. Others plan on teaching secondary school or join our master's program after several years teaching secondary school; the MA supplements their training and classroom experience. About a quarter of our students are preparing for careers unrelated to secondary or post-secondary education. For these students, the master's program offers a compelling intellectual experience whose training in writing and research serves them well in a range of future professions.

The press conference by Tim Cook has been one filled with mixed emotions. Many people were expecting a totally new phone to be released by Apple. Very few expected to get nothing more than a hardware improving the unlocked iPhone 4. Sure there are a lot of great new features available and the hardware has been given some great improvements but overall it is basically the same phone.
The question now should be asked will the iPhone 4S become a bestseller. It may be a little too early to tell but the increased speed and new software features of the phone may allow it to continue to be the phone of choice for smart phone users. More importantly than the release of the iPhone 4S is the release of a new software iOS 5 which has some 200+ features added to it many of which are useful improvements for users.
Notifications have been improved basically replacing a system that previously did not do its job for unlocked iPhone 4. The eight megapixel camera on the phone is also a good upgrade as an apparently increases the pixilation of the photos by over 60%. It also records video at 1080 P. high definition resolution. Voice recognition is also new feature added to the phone which allows you to ask basic questions and phone and have the answer presented to you on screen. For example, you can ask the weather forecast for particular city and the phone will instantly tell you the temperature by pulling the data from your weather app. Ask for the time in France for example and the phone will display the time there without an issue. These are just basic examples of the voice recognition application Siri and we expect to see third-party developers create some creative applications using this powerful feature.

(NBCNC) -Congressional leaders from both parties head to the White House Friday for round one of negotiations on the fiscal cliff.
They have until the end of the year to agree on huge spending cuts, or automatic cuts kick in and every American will see an overnight tax increase.
The key sticking point is tax cuts for the wealthy.
President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner are each drawing a line in the sand over letting the Bush-era tax cuts expire for Americans making more than a quarter million dollars a year.
Speaker Boehner wants a tax overhaul that raises money by cutting loopholes.
Republicans say they want the president to address the real problem, which they define as massive entitlement spending.
Democrats say Republicans are going to have to compromise, just like the president and his party did after getting walloped in the 2010 elections.
The president and the speaker are both hoping for a big deal, but with time running out, some members of both parties are willing to go over the cliff and let the new Congress fight it out.

"I'll be back."
You'd be a fool to argue that there is any man tougher than AHNULD Schwarzenegger as his physical prowess demands attention. It didn't take long for AHNULD to flip from bad guy to good guy because it simply wasn't believable that any man would stand a chance in a physical battle with this mountain of muscles. Few ever dared to go mano y mano with this Herculean god of cinema, but one such man was Kyle Reese (Mr. Michael Biehn).
The genre legend, and star of some of the best sci-fi and action films of all time, traveled through time to stop this hulking machine from destroying humanity's only hope for survival, the soon-to-be tougher than nails, Sarah Connor.
If you demand leather-jacketed balls-to-the-wall excellence from your action cinema, Tough Guy is here to deliver this February! We're readying our in-theater pyrotechnics and throwing this James Camera sci-fi classic on the big screen for your white-knuckled enjoyment.
And, just because it's February, we made sure to include a little romance for you. How do you stop an indestructible, future robot that will stop at nothing to fulfill its mission? Only time will tell. (Greg MacLennan)

Christmas Fruit Candy Cane
12 comments:
It's a good idea...:)ReplyDelete
So cute!! And you can use so many different combinations! Might have to make a red and green one with grapes and strawberries!! Perfect for this time of year!!ReplyDelete
I love your banana and strawberry candycane Jill! Very clever...I'll have to give it a try! Thanks for the feature also!ReplyDelete
Any ideas of how to link them together? I'd love to make these ahead of time for my childs' preschool party.ReplyDelete
Oooh! Love it!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the great idea!
Ok that is just too cute and I'm soooo going to do one for my son - thanks!ReplyDelete
oh! I have "pinned" this. What an adorable way to get helathy food into my children during the holiday season!ReplyDelete
Perfect idea - My boys love Candy Canes but they would totally go for the fruit equivalent :)ReplyDelete
Thank you! It's nice to serve up something healthy to the kids when they are surrounded by all of the sweets this time of year!ReplyDelete
To link them together if making ahead of time to take somewhere, flexible straws would probably work - the kind that have the tops that bend.ReplyDelete
I'm just not sure how to keep the banana slices from turning brown.
I know lemon juice works on apple slices... perhaps that would work on the bananas as well.
Also, if the lemon is too tart, orange juice or pineapple may work.
I featured this today on my Christmas in July blog Celebration. (you'll hear from me a lot this month lol)ReplyDelete

what do you put them on to get the cane shape.....I made the Grinch santas with white grapes, banana slice, strawberry and small marshmellow on toothpicks....a real hitReplyDelete

FORT ERIE, CANADA - An American citizen crossing into Canada over the Peace Bridge on Saturday was caught with child pornography in his vehicle. The Niagara Regional Police arrested 30-year-old Clinton Jensen and charged him with one count each of importing child pornography and possession of child pornography.
Jensen is a resdident of New York state, according to a statement released by police on Sunday. The pornographic material was discovered during what was apparently a routine search by Canada Border Service officers.
Jensen is being held in custody pending a bail hearing in St. Catharines. More charges are expected in the case.

True to its name, the Black Series exhausts are constructed with black Teflon coated cast magnesium end caps, black billet aluminum inlets and outlets, and black canister reinforcement bands. Every little detail has been considered and you get to reap the benefits of that amazing TBR performance and sound.
Adding a Two Brothers Racing high performance Black Series exhaust will help you gain additional horsepower and increase torque while lowering the overall weight of your bike. All M-Series exhaust feature the TBR spiral-wound perf core which gives each exhaust system that distinct, deep, Two Brothers exhaust note.
All of Two Brother's inlets and connecting pipes are manufactured from .035" thin wall stainless steel. They then are polish to a satin finish. Two Brothers' uses only #304 stainless which will never rust. After a few heat cycles the steel turns a golden amber color which is the characteristic signature of high quality stainless steel.
The entire line of TBR M Series canisters feature the same high level of quality construction and are designed to be fully serviceable in the event of damage, routine maintenance or the occasional repack. Two Brothers Racing's V.A.L.E. slip-on exhaust and flange-on exhaust features CNC'ed aluminum inlets. These special designs provide for ease of maintenance as well as simplified construction, which is what a premium performance product is all about! The exhaust note produced by all of their Top Level exhaust is best described as being deep and throaty without suffering from the shrill whine normally associated with other manufacturer's straight through muffler canisters.
V.A.L.E. = Variable Axis Locking Exhaust. The V.A.L.E. system is TBR's revolutionary and patented method of attaching their muffler canisters to the exhaust tube without the use of springs or welding. Their V.A.L.E. systems allow the muffler assembly - exhaust tube and canister - to be positioned perfectly on the bike before all the mounting hardware is fully tightened. Once the canister and exhaust tubes are properly aligned, the V.A.L.E. assembly locks the muffler canister to the exhaust tube assuring a perfect, leak-free fit.
Note: Please check local laws before purchasing a Two Brothers Exhaust. Some modifications may be prohibited in some states.

Odd Nominations, Big Questions and Other Head-Scratchers From The 54th GRAMMY Awards!
Tina Fey and Betty White are nominated? Steve Martin does Bluegrass? Family Guy's Seth McFarlane has as shot at winning, what? Amy Winehouse could still win? Who will pay tribute to Whitney Houston? Those GRAMMY questions and more answered…
The big question on everyone's mind … Who will pay tribute to [mp3com-artist]Whitney Houston[/mp3com-artist] on tonight's 54th Annual GRAMMY awards? The superstar passed away yesterday and was found in her room at the Beverly Hilton, in the bathtub, around 3:30PM Pacific time. Police are waiting for autopsy results but say there was no appearance of criminal intent. Naturally the producers had to scramble to put together some sort of tribute, but who could knock it out of the park? Immediately speculation on Twitter [and my guess] was [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Jennifer Hudson[/lastfm]. The Dreamgirl will take part in a "respectful musical tribute" to Houston who has SIX GRAMMYs to her name. Who else will join in? We're going to have to wait and see.
MORE NEED-TO-KNOW ON TONIGHT's GRAMMYs NEXT

Chronicles what led to the Orange Revolution in the Ukraine surrounding the 2004 election between Viktor Yushchenko, the people's choice, and Viktor Yanukovych, the government crony. With Yushchenko's near-fatal poisoning and a fishy assassination attempt on Yanukovych, the people cry foul and take to the streets when Yanukovych is proclaimed the winner of the election. At demonstrations in Kiev, the crowd quickly swells to many thousands as a disfigured struggling Yuschenko take the stage to protest corruption and fraud.

DOE Offers Up to $2 Million for Hydrogen Fueling Stations Data Collection
March 21, 2012
DOE announced on March 13 that up to $2 million will be available this year to collect and analyze performance data for hydrogen fueling stations and advanced refueling components. DOE will track the performance and technical progress of innovative refueling systems to find ways to lower costs and improve operations. The funding is part of the department's commitment to help industry bring hydrogen technologies into the mainstream market and provide new choices for vehicles that do not rely on gasoline.
Many automakers have announced production plans for fuel cell electric vehicles for retail sale or lease as early as 2015, and some states are investing in hydrogen fuel infrastructure to accommodate these vehicles. The new funding will support projects to monitor the performance of multiple hydrogen fueling stations and advanced components for up to five years. The data and resulting analyses from this initiative will also help hydrogen fueling equipment manufacturers improve the designs of existing systems.
DOE seeks applicants to this funding opportunity to test new refueling component technologies that could substantially reduce the cost of hydrogen. These include advanced compressor designs that could reduce the number or size of compressors required at commercial refueling sites; hydrogen delivery tanks with higher capacity and optimal tank pressure, which could reduce the need for compressors and the frequency of deliveries at refueling sites; and advanced electrolyzers that can produce hydrogen at higher pressures, potentially lowering the cost of hydrogen by reducing the amount of post-production compression required. Responses are due May 11. See the DOE Progress Alert and the Funding Opportunity Announcement on the Funding Opportunity Exchange website.

Gigloiotti Pond. Fishing pressure is heavy on weekends as anglers try to catch the remaining albino trout that were stocked a month ago. Some of these fish weigh as much as five pounds. Rainbow PowerBait or nightcrawlers are recommended for baitcasters. A Jake's Spin-a-Lure was the best-performing lure. The best fishing will be in the morning, before the wind picks up.
Huntington Creek. The creek is open from top to bottom with patches of snow still lingering along the shoreline at higher elevations. A #10 beadhead Montana is recommended for fly fishermen. Nightcrawlers and PowerBait are recommended for baitcasters. Most trout are 11- to 14-inch browns. Campgrounds are starting to open.
Joe's Valley Reservoir. The reservoir is ice-free. Fishing is fair to good for 10- to 14-inch trout. A few range up to 22 inches. The DWR received reports that one 12-lb. and one 14-lb. splake were caught at Joe's Valley during the week. Details of the catches are not available. Whole chubs or chub meat is the best year-round bait. Joe's Valley Reservoir has special regulations. Please refer to the 2008 Fishing Guidebook.
Lasal Mountains. Conservation officer TJ Robertson reports that Ken's Lake is picking up for trout and bass. Trout can be caught on green or yellow PowerBait, and bass can be taken with typical bass jigs in the willows on the inlet side of the lake. Oowah and Warner will remain closed until the U.S. Forest Service opens the access roads, which may occur next week. Hidden Lake is accessible and ice-free. Anglers report good fishing, and the trout seem to be taking almost anything. Don's Lake is accessible, but there hasn't been much fishing pressure so far. Dark Canyon and Medicine Lake remain inaccessible.
Lower Fish Creek. No recent report. Try floating line and a size 14 hare's ear nymph. Due to heavy run-off, the water below the confluence with the White River is currently unfishable.
San Juan County. Monticello and Foy reservoirs are ice-free. Fishing success is fair at Foy and at Blanding number three and four, where marshmallows seem to be the best bait. Fishing is slow at Recapture, where the inflow of cold water has kept water temperatures low.
Scofield Reservoir. The reservoir is completely ice-free. Fishing pressure is heavy. Following a creel survey on May 10 and 11, Fisheries Biologist Justin Hart reported that anglers were catching fish lake-wide. Egg sacs and dead minnows were the best baits. Anglers were primarily catching 14- to 18-inch rainbow trout, a few cutthroats and a few tiger trout up to 18 inches. Spincasters were having success with gold Jake's Spin-a-Lures.
Fly fishermen were doing well with sinking line and leech or wooly bugger patterns. Due to dam spillway reconstruction, traffic delays of several minutes can be expected around the dam cove. Anglers are reminded that Scofield tributaries are closed to fishing until the second Saturday in July.

Not to editorialize or personalize the matter too much, but this writer has to give points to Nokia's Niels Munksgaard for his recent statement this Tuesday. As the company's global director of portfolio, product marketing & sales stated, "What we see is that youth are pretty much fed up with iPhones. Everyone has the iPhone," Munksgaard said. "Also, many are not happy with the complexity of Android and the lack of security. So we do increasing see that the youth that wants to be on the cutting edge and try something new are turning to the Windows phone platform." Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Protect your devices from scratches and blemishes with our stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases accessories.
With experience in the antivirus, security sector... where strangely company policy dictated a move from BlackBerry to either an Samsung or an iPhone device, and also as a professional woman who has little patience with overly complex technologies, this statement seriously resonates. It also is on par with my company's global mobile security expert. Nokia is potentially the Goldilocks option.
Any professional not immersed in creative fields with their attention buried in their Macbook, is familiar with Windows. Pair a familiar OS with a user firendly smartphone and there is a happy medium in a welcome user friendly interface, a warm familiarity, and - for the me-centric generation I belong to – a unique smartphone that I can further accessorize to let the world know what I stand for sans Facebook status update. Enhance your mobility... turn your device into a power tool. Discover select accessories, such as, stylus and pens, memory cards, data cables, chargersand other fun gadgets specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
Having been a user of BlackBerrry (RIM OS), an Android (don't even ask me the device manufacturer), and now an iPhone, I have long wondered if there was something between the two extremes. According the Munksgaard, Nokia is taking a different path as its competitors essentially recycle one another's products. "The marketplace is extremely crowded. I refer to it as the sea of sameness," the Nokia executive said. "When you walk up to a retail shelf at Phones4U and see the number of black mono-blocks sitting on the shelf, it is very confusing to the consumer. We want to deliver services and phones that are different." Conversely, it is the fashion and personalization through protective accessories (and shared accounts with other Apple devices acquired post iPhone) that will make a transition challenging.
To date, the Finnish mobile device manufacturer has released two Windows phones: unnder the the Nokia Lumia banner and all indicators point to another smartphone unveiling at the Consumer Electronics Show in the appropriately glitzy Las Vegas next month.

(2) The 120-day limitation in paragraph (1) for details and renewals of details does not apply to the Department of Defense in the case of a detail—
(A) made in connection with the closure or realignment of a military installation pursuant to a base closure law or an organizational restructuring of the Department as part of a reduction in the size of the armed forces or the civilian workforce of the Department; and

|May 28, 1896, ch. 252, § 3, 29 Stat. 179.
The words "Executive department" are substituted for "department" as the definition of "department" applicable to this section is coextensive with the definition of "Executive department" in section 101.
The words "or military department" are inserted to preserve the application of the source law. Before enactment of the National Security Act Amendments of 1949 (63 Stat. 578), the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Air Force were Executive departments. The National Security Act Amendments of 1949 established the Department of Defense as an Executive Department including the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Air Force as military departments, not as Executive departments. However, the source law for this section, which was in effect in 1949, remained applicable to the Secretaries of the military departments by virtue of section 12(g) of the National Security Act Amendments of 1949 (63 Stat. 591), which is set out in the reviser's note for section 301.
The word "detail" is coextensive with and is substituted for "alter the distribution". The word "clerks" is omitted as included in "employees". The words "as he may find it necessary and proper to do" and "from time to time" are omitted as surplusage.
This section was part of title IV of the Revised Statutes. The Act of July 26, 1947, ch. 343, § 201(d), as added Aug. 10, 1949, ch. 412, § 4,63 Stat. 579 (former 5 U.S.C. 171–1), which provides "Except to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of this Act [National Security Act of 1947], the provisions of title IV of the Revised Statutes as now or hereafter amended shall be applicable to the Department of Defense" is omitted from this title but is not repealed.
Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
2006—Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 109–163amended subsec. (c) generally. Prior to amendment, subsec. (c) defined the terms "base closure law" and "military installation" for purposes of this section.
1996—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 104–106designated existing provisions as par. (1) and added par. (2).
Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 104–106, § 1033(a)(2), added subsec. (c).
Effective Date of 1996 Amendment
Pub. L. 104–106, div. A, title X, § 1033(b),Feb. 10, 1996, 110 Stat. 430, provided that: "The amendments made by subsection (a) [amending this section] apply to details made before the date of the enactment of this Act [Feb. 10, 1996] but still in effect on that date and details made on or after that date."
Transfer of Appropriated Funds; Funding of Detailed Employees
For restriction on availability of funds for salaries of employees reassigned on temporary detail basis to another position without independent approval by head of employing department or agency, see section 515(3) ofPub. L. 103–333, set out as a note under section 1301 of Title 31, Money and Finance.

How will the couples from season 2 of Engaged and Underage cope with the mounting pressures of adulthood and deal with all the negative comments -- "You need to wait!" "He's not right for you!" -- from the folks around them? Will they reach the breaking point or will they say "I do"? There's a day when you take those first big steps out of the comfort of your family's home and begin to make all the right -- or wrong -- decisions. Engaged and Underage is all about taking that next big step, for better or for worse. Are these couples really meant to be together forever or will they run into trouble in paradise?

Olympus to post larger-than-expected loss: report
(7:48 PM ET) LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Camera and medical-equipment maker Olympus Corp.(JP:7733) OCPNF, +6.40% will likely post a larger-than-expected loss when it announces results for the fiscal year ended in March later Thursday, according to a Nikkei business daily report. Olympus' loss for the year "is believed to have exceeded 45 billion yen" ($565 million), compared to an expected ¥32 billion loss, and swinging from a ¥3.8 billion profit the previous year, the report said without citing sources. The report said part of the loss will come from billions of yen in charges related to the liquidation of units that had been used to hide losses in a major accounting fraud case linked to several past executives of the firm.
Hitachi annual profit to set new record: report
(7:30 PM ET) LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Japanese tech-focused conglomerate Hitachi Ltd.(JP:6501) HIT, +0.00% will likely beat estimates for its annual net profit, thanks to sales of industrial equipment and proceeds from the sales of its hard-disk-drive and midsize flat-panel businesses, the Nikkei business daily reported Thursday without citing sources. Hitachi is due to post earnings results later Thursday, with the Nikkei report saying the firm will set a second straight annual record with a 50% rise in net profit for the fiscal year that ended in March. The fiscal-year profit would total about 350 billion yen ($4.4 billion), beating the latest estimate of ¥280 billion.
News Corp: 'American Idol' needs 'fresh energy'
(5:18 PM ET) CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- News Corp. NWSA, +0.00% NWS, -0.43% (AU:NWS)Chief Operating Officer Chase Carey said the ratings decline "American Idol" suffered in its 11th season on Fox means that the broadcaster has do a better job of "finding fresh energy" for the reality series. "Idol" brought in judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez for Season 10, but Carey said that since then, the show's producers haven't done enough to keep audiences excited about a show that has been on for so long. "It's still a great show, it makes a lot of money, but the reality is, it is an 11-year-old show."
News Corp.: National TV ad market solid
(5:09 PM ET) CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- News Corp. NWSA, +0.00% NWS, -0.43% (AU:NWS)Chief Operating Officer Chase Carey told analysts Wednesday that the company is seeing a reasonably strong television advertising market. At Fox Broadcasting, Carey said ads are priced at a percentage about "low to mid-teens" higher than they commanded during last year's "upfront," when ads were sold in advance for the 2011-12 season. The company's cable networks, such as FX and Fox News, are seeing strong sales in the entertainment category, while at local TV stations, automakers are spending heavily on ads while other advertisers have been less aggressive.
News Corp. reaffirms FY12 operating income view
(4:59 PM ET) CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- News Corp. NWSA, +0.00% NWS, -0.43% (AU:NWS)Chief Financial Officer Dave De Voe said Wednesday that the company still expects fiscal 2012 operating income would grow by a low-to-mid-teens percentage over the fiscal 2011 total of $4.975 billion, excluding charges related to the U.K. phone-hacking scandal that forced the shutdown of News of The World last July. De Voe cautioned, however, that the company now has a "bias toward the lower end" of that estimate, due to difficult comparisons at the film studio, which had a strong fourth quarter with "Rio" and the latest "X-Men" film, combined with costs related to current-year releases. Further, De Voe explained, the advertising market at the company's overseas newspapers "has continued to be soft."
Priceline posts 73% higher profit
(4:27 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Priceline.com Inc. PCLN, -0.16% citing strong growth in overall bookings, reported late Wednesday its first-quarter profit rose to $181.8 million, or $3.54 a share, from $104.8 million, or $2.05 a share, a year ago. Adjusted to exclude one-time items, the online travel site earned $221 million, or $4.28 a share. Revenue for the three months ended March 31 rose 28% to $1.04 billion from $809.3 million, with total bookings up 43.9% to $6.7 billion from a year ago. Analysts polled by FactSet Research had expected Priceline to earn $3.95 a share on $1.04 billion in revenue. Priceline said it expects to earn $7.20 to $7.40 a share in the second quarter compared with analysts' estimates, on average, of $7.39 share. Priceline shares fell 2% in after-hours trade to $703.93, carving into a 36% advance for the stock over the past 12 months.

NWSA, +0.00% NWS, -0.43% (AU:NWS)said Wednesday that its fiscal third-quarter profit rose 47% on a gain related to a stock buyback program at British Sky Broadcasting BSY, +4.76% and higher earnings at its cable-television networks.

The media conglomerate said it earned $937 million, or 38 cents a share, compared with a profit of $639 million, or 24 cents, in the same period last year.

Activision earnings fall, but beat targets
(4:15 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Activision Blizzard reported a drop in earnings for the first quarter, though adjusted results beat Wall Street's forecasts thanks to strong sales of its "Call of Duty" and "Skylanders Spyro's Adventures" videogames. For the quarter ended March 31, Activision ATVI, +0.92% reported net income of $384 million, or 33 cents a share, compared to net income of $503 million, or 42 cents a share, for the same period last year. Revenue came in at $1.17 billion. Excluding deferred revenues related to the sale of certain game titles, as well as stock-based compensation, Activision said it earned 6 cents a share for the recent quarter. Revenue on this basis fell 22% to $587 million. Wall Street was expecting adjusted earnings of 4 cents a share on adjusted revenue of $556.4 million, according to consensus forecasts by FactSet Research.

His sensitive portraits and moving landscapes depict everyday life, from caring for children to struggling to grow food. He shows their day of rest on the Jewish Sabbath, as well as their religious celebrations and rituals. His intriguing text, including extensive interviews, chronicles the story of this community from its conception to the present. Supplementing Sobol's images and text is a CD filled with powerful music and songs from services recorded by ethnomusicologist Jeffrey A.

The long bus rides to and from the Idaho schools are not the most enjoyable experiences. And losing both games on the road doesn't make it any better.
The USU Eastern mens and womens teams each suffered a road sweep at the hands of the College of Southern Idaho and North Idaho College last Thursday and Saturday.
The USU Eastern women fell to CSI 69-52 in a game marred by a total of 62 turnovers from the two teams.
The Eastern women (13-12, 5-5 SWAC) were down 31-28 at halftime but CSI was able to keep Priscila Santos in check as she finished with 22 points.
CSI outrebounded the Eastern women 48-31, including a 25-13 advantage on offensive rebounds.
On Saturday things did not get any easier as the Eastern women faced off with league leading and ninth ranked North Idaho College.
Head coach Dave Paur said the Eastern women went down to the wire against NIC, putting together their best game in the past few weeks. But NIC was able to pull away in the final moments to come away with the 63-58 win.
Paur noted that teams are concentrating on shutting Santos down with double and triple teams whenever she has the ball.
Despite that, Paur said the team knows full well that Santos will be attracting a lot of attention on the defensive side of the ball each time down the court.
"They know what's going to be happening when Priscila has the basketball," he said.
Paur also said the team needs to keep their defense from breaking down during a game even if the offense is not making shots.
"Our defense has broke down in our games as of late," he said. "We need to focus on seperating our offensive play from our defensive play."
For the USU Eastern men (14-10 overall, 2-8 SWAC), two losses including a heartbreaker in triple overtime has left the team wondering when it will catch a break.
Against CSI, Eastern shot 41 percent from the field and went into halftime down 33-28. But in the second half, Eastern did not convert their free throws finishing 15-of-33 for the game. Sophomore Neveij Walters led Eastern with 21 points.
In a triple overtime thriller against NIC two days later, Eastern fell 81-78.
Both teams had opportunities to win down the stretch but were unable to capitalize on the chances.
Eastern was up 14 with seven minutes left before NIC battled back and tied the game in the final seconds.
North Idaho tied the game late in the first overtime, Eastern used free throws to send the game into a third overtime where NIC was finally able to gain a lead late in the period to get the win.
Eastern freshman Dashaun Wiggins led the Golden Eagles with 31 points.
The Eastern men and women will be in action against CNCC tomorrow night at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. at the BDAC.

Hay fever signs and symptoms usually start immediately after you're exposed to a specific allergy-causing substance (allergen) and can include:
Your hay fever symptoms may start or worsen at a particular time of year, triggered by tree pollen, grasses or weeds, which all bloom at different times. If you're sensitive to indoor allergens, such as dust mites, cockroaches, mold or pet dander, you may have year-round symptoms. Many people have allergy symptoms all year long, but their symptoms get worse during certain times of the year.
The effects of age
Although hay fever can begin at any age, you're most likely to develop it during childhood or early adulthood. It's common for the severity of hay fever reactions to change over the years. For most people, hay fever symptoms tend to diminish slowly, often over decades.
Signs and symptoms can be different. Here's how to tell which one's causing your symptoms:
See your doctor if:
Many people — especially children — get used to hay fever symptoms. But getting the right treatment can reduce irritating symptoms. In some cases, treatment may help prevent more-serious allergic conditions, such as asthma or eczema.

Over the next few weeks, I did indeed "catch 'em all"—well, all those that could be caught in Red anyway. I even caught myself a Mew through a now well-known glitch. After leaving the game all but mastered, I returned to it the following year when Pokémon Stadium hit the N64. It was during this time I also picked up Pokémon Snap and started watching the anime on TV (though I stopped once Ash became the Pokémon champion). But by the time Gold and Silver came out late that year, I was pretty much
Pokémon-ed out—and the addition of an entire new set of Pokémon past the original 150 was more intimidating than exciting. When Pokémon Stadium 2 came out, I was saddened and more than a little annoyed to find my team from Red unable to stand up to the new types of Pokémon. I was pretty much done with the series.
Over the next decade, a lot happened. I graduated high school and college and then moved to Japan. Sometime during all this, I remember briefly trying the remakes of Silver and Red, but neither was able to hold my interest past the first sitting—they were still the same old story but with reams of Pokémon I didn't know.
The next time I picked up the series was for work rather than pleasure—and I wasn't very optimistic. Yet, to my surprise, White was the perfect game to bring me back into the fold. It had a new world, an interesting plot, and—if you see the game the way I do—a villain protagonist. Moreover, with nothing but new and unique Pokémon, I felt I was on an even footing with everyone else—no one knew which the best Pokémon was or what the best teams were. I beat it, but didn't attempt to master it. I largely avoided the online features as well; versus fighting still doesn't interest me.
When Pokémon Conquest hit Japanese stores earlier this year, I had a good time with it, despite not being the biggest fan of turn-based strategy games. So heading into Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, I was still feeling pretty excited. But sadly, the feeling was fleeting. White 2 leaves behind the interesting story and social commentary of the original Black and White and returns to the tried and true formula of the other Pokémon titles—the formula I tired of back in 2000. And as the feature with the most staying power, the online battling, failed to interest me once again, it looks like I won't be playing another Pokémon title for pleasure anytime soon.
Really when it comes down to it, Pokémon hasn't changed very much in the years since I first played Red. But I have. Everything that made me like the series is still there—it's just that now I look for other things in the games I play. But as the original Black and White showed me, every once in a while, the series is capable of drawing me back in. So while I may never have the need to "catch 'em all" again, I'm sure that Black 2 and White 2 are far from the last Pokémon games that I will ever play.
Pokémon White Version 2 and Pokémon Black Version 2 were released on June 23, 2012, in Japan and will be released in North America on October 7, 2012 (October 12 for PAL).

Meet Pregnant Man.
We recently made a film that we hope will get people thinking (and that you might consider using in the classroom!).
First off, let me start by saying that this is not currently possible, and a genetic male of the human species has not yet managed to become pregnant!
Thomas Beatie, the 'pregnant man' that you probably heard about a few years ago, is a transgender man (ie a woman undergoing gender reassignment), and actually had female reproductive organs when he became pregnant.
What we ARE saying is, 'what if…'
- A little bit about the science behind male pregnancy as depicted in our film. It's based on ectopic pregnancies in women where a fertilized egg implants outside the womb; the idea is that IVF would be used to fertilize an egg, and the resulting zygote implanted into the man's abdominal cavity.
- The placenta would develop and attach to an organ in the abdomen, such as a kidney, to provide it with a good blood supply. The man would need to take loads of oestrogen and progesterone, female hormones that regulate pregnancy. Side effects of the hormones would be growing breasts, shrinking testicles and smoother skin.
- The baby would have to be delivered by caesarean, and part of the organ supporting the placenta would have to be removed during birth as well. The entire process would be really risky for both the man and the baby- but as with any medical procedure, further research could increase safety and success rates.
So, whilst it's not a reality now, it could feasibly happen- with enough research into it. Should we do it, just because we can?
And sure, it sounds really 'out there' but then again, so was IVF when it first came out. Now IVF is very much accepted and even paid for on the NHS. In what circumstances would it be acceptable to have children this way?
Would the world be turned on its head if the traditional reproductive role of women were suddenly shared by men? And what would it be like for the child?
So much to consider, so much that could change! Would any of your students be willing to try it?

D. Brady Drummond-Ryan is back home.
The 56-year-old recently moved to the apartment where he lived as a boy above Angels Inn adult home. Mr. Drummond-Ryan returned to Watertown in April so he could run the business for his mother, Mary E. Allen, after having been out of the area for more than three decades.
I felt itd be a shame to see this go, he said Wednesday, as he led a tour of the 7,500-square-foot facility. A lot of people thought we closed because Whispering Pines closed.
The confusion came, he said, because Angels Inn is on Pine Street. Whispering Pines, the Jefferson County adult home on Coffeen Street, has closed, but Angels Inn remains open with 10 residents. Mr. Drummond-Ryan said there are 17 rooms that can hold a total of 24 people.
Although his wife, Myra, and adult daughter remain in Charlotte, N.C., Mr. Drummond-Ryan moved to the area this spring when Mrs. Allen asked him to manage the business. He said her whole life has been dedicated to caring for the elderly, with the past 67 years at Angels Inn.
She still lives in the county, he said, but scaled back her involvement with the home after she became ill with pneumonia in the spring. Mr. Drummond-Ryan said that at 89 years old, his mother finally is ready to retire.
Mrs. Allen declined to comment Wednesday.
Mr. Brady, a 1975 graduate of South Jefferson Central School, Adams, is the facilitys administrator. He said he is purchasing Angels Inn from his mother and is awaiting approval from the state Department of Health to transfer the businesss certificate of need to his name.
While he grew up at the 518 Pine St. property and helped his father, Robert Ryan, build additions over the years, he did not work there steadily. Some of his nine siblings, he said, had designated roles there.
Mr. Drummond-Ryan recalled spending much of his childhood at Angels Inn, even getting caught by his mother while he was wheelchair-racing in the basement.
He left the area shortly after high school and received a bachelors degree in English from Binghamton University in 1979 and a masters degree in social work from Florida State University in 1982.
He has had jobs involving nonprofit agencies, fundraising and real estate and was an underwriter for Wells Fargo. Now he is in charge of 14 employees, including a bookkeeper, certified nursing assistants, cooks, housekeepers and home health aides.
Everything Ive done has prepared me for this moment, Mr. Drummond-Ryan said.
Once the paperwork is squared away, he said, he will apply for some enhanced-living beds in order to offer another level of care. Residents of the home must be able to care for themselves and be mobile, but may need help with daily activities. People can go to Angels Inn for respite or long-term care as long as they meet certain criteria.
Mr. Drummond-Ryan said the residents range in age from 65 to 100.
He said he will use his skills in sales and marketing to attract more residents. He recently completed a brochure, the first of its kind for Angels Inn. The facility is private-pay, with fees of $850 a week for a double-occupancy room and $950 a week for a single-occupancy room.

Elvis PresleyRock Musician / Singer / Actor
Born: 8 January 1935
Died: 16 August 1977 (heart attack)
Birthplace: Tupelo, Mississippi
Best known as: "The King of Rock 'n Roll"
Famous in life, Elvis Presley has become even more famous in death as an icon of American music and TV-era celebrity. Presley hit the charts as a rock 'n roll rebel in the 1950s. His 9 September 1956 appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show (with Presley shown only from the waist up to hide his swivelling hips) turned him into one of the era's biggest stars. His many hits included "Jailhouse Rock," "Hound Dog" and "Blue Suede Shoes." He also appeared in dozens of lighthearted movies designed to let him cavort and play the guitar onscreen, including King Creole (1958, with Walter Matthau) and Blue Hawaii (1961, with Angela Lansbury). In the late 1960s, after a period of declining fame, he remade himself into "The King," a melodramatic icon known for his sequined karate-style jumpsuits and megaconcerts. The loyalty of his fans is famous; though he died in 1977, sightings of a supposedly surviving Elvis became a kind of international running joke. Elvis's Memphis home, Graceland, has become a permanent shrine to the singer.
Extra credit: Col. Tom Parker was Elvis's longtime manager and personal power broker... Elvis's daughter Lisa Marie Presley was married to pop star Michael Jackson from 1994-1996, and then briefly to Nicolas Cage in 2002... Elvis was married one time, to the former Priscilla Beaulieu, from 1967-73; Priscilla Presley later appeared in the TV soap Dallas and the Naked Gun film series... A remix of Elvis's 1968 recording "A Little Less Conversation" became a hit after being featured in Nike ads during the 2002 World Cup; the song went to #1 on the British music charts... Elvis's twin brother, Jesse Garon, died at birth... Elvis's middle name is spelled "Aaron" on his tombstone; according to his official site, the name was spelled Aron at birth but as an adult Elvis planned to change the spelling to Aaron, and the tombstone was designed to reflect that wish.

Mat & drikke Ko Samet
Most restaurants on Koh Samet serve a variety of cuisines, including Thai and international foods. Most guesthouses and resorts have restaurants that serve both, while the more popular beaches, such as Diamond Beach, feature restaurants specializing in Thai or various international cuisines, such as Italian or German. Beachside, seafood barbeque restaurants are also common on all beaches. As on most islands, the food on Koh Samet is generally higher priced than on the mainland as there is mark-up on supplies shipped to the island. Where dining options are more limited prices are even more expensive. It is also common for restaurants have two menus, one for tourists and one for Thai people, each of which have different prices; check prices on the menu prior to ordering, and, if prices seem unreasonably high, politely go elsewhere.

Starting today, you can stream some of your favorite flicks on Break.com or any of Break's mobile apps — absolutely free! After browsing through the available titles, we've picked out six ScreenJunkies Approved™ classics that will get your binge-viewing started off right. Check out our recommendations below, and visit Movies on Break right here!
Requiem for a Dream
Darren Aronofsky made his name with this gut-churning look at four people drowning in their addictions. Featuring memorable performances from Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, and Marlon Wayans, Requiem for a Dream goes to some seriously dark places as it makes drug use look as unglamorous as possible.
Glengarry Glen Ross
The 1992 film adaptation of David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning play about desperate real estate salesmen is a cult classic thanks to its razor-sharp dialogue and incredible ensemble cast. Everyone remembers the epic demotivational speech from Alec Baldwin, but the scenes with Al Pacino blowing up and Jack Lemmon breaking down are just as brilliant.
Swimming With Sharks
In one of the greatest "horrible boss" characters in movie history, Kevin Spacey plays movie producer Buddy Ackerman, who seems to take great joy in verbally abusing his assistant, Guy (played by Frank Whaley). When Buddy fires Guy, Guy gets his revenge by kidnapping and torturing Buddy. It's like Office Space meets Saw! And then things get really twisted, but we won't spoil it for you.
The Limey
Terrence Stamp is as badass as they come in this underrated 1999 gem from Steven Soderbergh. Stamp plays Wilson, a British career criminal who comes to Los Angeles to investigate his daughter's mysterious death. To learn the truth, he'll have to shake it out of some dangerous drug-runners. Luckily, he's comfortable with that sort of thing.
Chelsea Walls
If you've ever dreamed of moving to New York to seek your fortune as an artist, watch this movie first. A loving tribute to the Chelsea Hotel, Chelsea Walls is a shambling and sentimental look at one day in the life of the New York bohemian landmark, and all of the miniature dramas played out by its residents. The 2002 film was directed by Ethan Hawke, and features a cast that includes Kris Kristofferson, Uma Thurman, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Rosario Dawson.
The Brothers Bloom
Director Rian Johnson has drawn acclaim for his oddball neo-noir debut Brick, his oddball time-travel thriller Looper, and for directing one of the greatest episodes of television ever. (He's also slated to direct Star Wars: Episode VIII. Get psyched.) Johnson is clearly at his best when he has a quirky concept and some dynamite actors, as in this 2008 caper about two con-artist brothers — played by Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo — who reunite for one legendary score.

Kirby Chambliss
Chambliss Feed
Kirby's Details
About Kirby
Kirby Chambliss knew from a very early age that he wanted to be a pilot and went airborne at 13. By 21, he was a pilot for a business jet company; at 24 he became the youngest commercial pilot at Southwest Airlines; and he made captain by 28. It was that very first job that led him into aerobatics.
"That first time we turned the airplane upside down, my whole focus changed," he remembers. "To me, flying was about being upside down and cart wheeling the airplane, taking an airplane and just ripping the guts out. That's what I still love to do." He went on to claim five U.S. National Aerobatic Championships, which caught the eye of officials from the Red Bull Air Race. "I loved aerobatics, I loved speed, and I did low-level flying anyway, so to me it was a natural fit." By 2006, he was the Red Bull Air Race Champion, a title he's gunning to reclaim again.
