Border agents arrest sex-crime suspects
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in the El Paso area have arrested two men wanted for allegedly sexually assaulting children.
Customs officials said officers arrested Jose Maria Urias, 74, at the Presidio port of entry on March 16.
Urias, a Presidio resident, was returning from Mexico in a Chevrolet pickup. Officers found that Urias had a warrant for aggravated sexual assault of a child in Presidio County. He was turned over to the Presidio Police Department.
Three days later, customs officers at the Fort Hancock port of entry stopped Armando Valenzuela, 32, of Chihuahua, as he tried to enter the U.S. in the pedestrian lane.
Officers discovered Valenzuela was wanted in Hudspeth County on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Officers contacted Hudspeth County sheriff's deputies, who took Valenzuela into custody.

2 women injured in early morning fire
El Paso fire investigators are still trying to determine what caused a fire that injured two women early Tuesday morning.
Six fire units responded to the blaze in the 100 block of Buena Vista at 3:22. Fire officials said the fire, which may have started in a bedroom closet, caused $5,000 in damage. One woman was taken to a hospital for treatment of second-degree burns to her hands and face. Another woman was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation.
Officials said the women were injured because they hesitated in evacuating the home when the fire broke out. The home also did not have working smoke alarms.

Man goes on trial in roommate's slaying
The trial of a man accused of murdering his roommate almost two years ago began Monday in the 409th District Court.
Hector Enrique Astorga, 49, is charged with the murder of Jose Pichardo in April 2009. Pichardo, 66, died in the home they shared in the 12000 block of Miguel Varela. Police said Astorga, who was renting a room from Pichardo, argued with Pichardo and punched him several times.
An autopsy revealed that Pichardo choked on his own vomit after being struck on the head and chest.
Pichardo was a retired welder.
At the time of his death, his neighbors remembered him as a friendly, energetic man who sold metal crucifixes he crafted in his garage.
Judge Sam Medrano Jr. is presiding over Astorga's trial.

Jones corruption trials postponed
Two trials scheduled for lawyer Luther Jones, who is accused of public corruption, have been rescheduled, court records show.
Jones and former El Paso District Clerk Gilbert Sanchez will stand trial beginning March 30.
Each is charged with one count of mail fraud and one count of wire fraud. They are accused of rigging a digitization contract for the district clerk's office in 2004 to ensure that a company represented by Jones would win the bid. Their trial was originally scheduled to start March 28.
Sanchez and Jones will face a second trial on April 2, 2012. They and nine others face bribery and fraud charges.
The 11 allegedly used a scheme of bribes and kickbacks to obtain government contracts for Access HealthSource, a local health-care provider. That trial was originally scheduled for August.

Ex-guard sentenced to 2 years in prison
A former La Tuna federal prison correctional officer will spend two years in a federal prison after pleading guilty to smuggling heroin to inmates.
Randy M. Smith, 29, was sentenced by a U.S. district judge this month to 24 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Smith pleaded guilty in October to a charge of attempting to provide contraband in prison.
FBI agents arrested Smith in June 2010 after investigators with the Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General received complaints from two inmates accusing Smith of smuggling drugs and tobacco to Aryan Brotherhood gang members.

|I think each person approaches it differently and thus each answer will be only a partial answer.
For me:
Honoring my ancestors means first of all finding out who they were, and what they did during that time period.
Were they enlisted, officers, govt officials, farmers, slaves, or slave holders, overseers or abolutionists, etc...
If soldiers, where did they fight and for whom? Did they survive intact? wounded? Killed?
Where are they buried?
Once you have a basic understanding of from whence you came, you will know how you wish to honor them. Join a Heritage group?
visit a battlefield wher ethey suffered, bled and maybe died?
Visit their homestead if still standing or their grave?
Get involved in Reeenacting? Take on their persona?
Or maybe, just lift a glass and salute their service

HomeIndustrial ManufacturingServices Related to Production & ProductsMetallurgy & Process DesignUnit Operations & MetallurgySolvent Extraction & Electrowinning
SX-EW (solvent extraction and electrowinning) are distinct metallurgical unit operations that recover high purity metal from leachate solutions. Solvent extraction is used to concentrate materials in an organic solution, while electrowinning is used to recover these pay elements. The two procedures are often conducted together. While electrowinning can be used with other processes, it is always used after solvent extraction.
Many elements can be extracted from aqueous metal-rich leachate solutions and concentrated into an organic solvent. The pay elements are then removed from the organic solution by electrowinning. The resulting high purity metal plate is then directly sold.
SGS has proven experience recovering a number of elements through SX-EW including:
SGS Solvent Extraction and Electrowinning services include:
SGS metallurgical experts can recover a wide range of metals from leach liquors and other solutions. Our bench testing capabilities that support flowsheet development or plant troubleshooting include:
SGS custom designs pilot plants to prove flowsheets. We provide pilot design and testing services.
Our solvent extraction equipment includes mixer-settlers, columns, contactors, coalescers, reciprocating plates and contacting units. As well, we have electrowinning cells, power supplies and electrode materials for use as stand-alone electrowinning units or with SX or similar circuits.

Overview: Overall it was a pretty good recruiting season for the Big Ten. There weren't a whole lot of shocking decisions on National Signing Day, though both Ohio State and Iowa were able to pick up some key members of their 2011 class.
Ohio State - Ohio State generally leads the Big Ten in recruiting every season, and 2011's class doesn't seem to be any different. While the Buckeyes had a strong class coming into Wednesday's festivities, getting Curtis Grant to commit during the day put this class over the edge. Grant joins what should be a strong class on defense, where the Buckeyes will look to replace Cam Heyward with guys like Kenny Hayes, Chase Farris and Steve Miller in a few years. Of course, Jim Tressel didn't concentrate solely on defense, as the Bucks picked up quarterback Braxton Miller as the possible successor to Terrelle Pryor in 2012.
Iowa - The Hawkeyes and Kirk Ferentz never seem to put together a jaw-dropping class, yet every year they tend to find themselves ranked in the top 25 classes. This year is no different, as MaxPreps has Iowa at 17, and the Hawkeyes signed 23 players. The final player was DT Darian Cooper, who chose Iowa on Wednesday, and comes from the same school Iowa landed RB Marcus Coker from last season. Kirk Ferentz generally doesn't go for flash as much as he finds players he can mold and fit into his system at Iowa, but you should expect to grow more familiar with names like Rodney Coe, Ray Hamilton, Austin Blythe and Jordan Walsh in the next few seasons.
Nebraska - Welcome to the Big Ten, Nebraska. The Cornhuskers had a good class coming into National Signing Day, but added the crown jewel on Wednesday with running back Aaron Green. Green combined with all the beef Bo Pelini is bringing in on the offensive and defensive lines should have his team ready for its new home. Of course, the wild card in all of this is quarterback Bubba Starling. He's the type of player that could make this a great class, but a lot of people seem convinced that Starling will never play a down in Lincoln, as he's expected to be a first round draft pick in the MLB draft this summer.
Penn State - There are plenty of talented players coming to Happy Valley next season. Defensive ends Deion Barnes, Shawn Oakman and QB/DB Bill Belton are strong, athletic players. The problem with Penn State's class this season is its just not up to snuff for Penn State. A 16-member class just isn't what the Nittany Lions are accustomed to, and you really have to wonder how much longer Penn State can afford to stand by Joe Paterno. When two of your best recruiters, Larry Johnson Sr and Tom Bradley, are spending time looking for new jobs instead of working recruits -- which may have cost Penn State Ishaq Williams -- then things need to be fixed. This may be Joe Paterno's last Signing Day at Penn State.
Michigan - Don't get me wrong, Michigan has a nice class. A class that got even better on Wednesday with tight end Chris Barnett, but I'm putting them in the losers section based on what this class could have been. The Wolverines lost a lot of talent after firing Rich Rodriguez, and Brady Hoke just didn't have a chance to keep guys like Dee Hart in Ann Arbor. As a result, a potentially great class can only be considered solid at this point.
Purdue - Listen, nobody was expecting Danny Hope and Purdue to blow the doors off of this class, but while they put together a nice class, it's certainly not the type that will help propel Purdue up from the bottom half of the Big Ten. Plus, anytime you're a school that needs as many athletes as it can get, getting banned from a high school in Florida is probably the worst thing you can do.

You've heard of nuclear physics. Now learn about nuclear medicine.Comment on this story
Meet Dr Heinz Morkel, a specialised nuclear medicine physician, who practises out of Mediclinic Durbanville, Mediclinic Panorama, Mediclinic Somerset West and Mediclinic George.
Nuclear medicine began more than 60 years ago and is now considered as an extremely valuable discipline for the early diagnosis, treatment and control of numerous medical conditions.
I've been told I need a nuclear medicine scan. What is it?
It is a specialised scan, which uses a small amount of radioactivity to get a picture of the function inside your body through an imaging instrument called a gamma camera. It's used to diagnose many conditions such as cancers, injuries or infections and also to look at how organs like your heart or lungs are working. In the early 1950s, it was used to diagnose and treat thyroid conditions and it is still being used for this purpose. Today there are approximately 100 different diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging procedures of almost all organ systems.
I will need a radioactive injection. Is it safe?
Most nuclear medicine procedures involve the injection of a radioactive tracer into a vein, which is usually in your arm, but the dose of radiation is kept to a minimum – similar to the amount received during a chest x-ray. Take heart:
• The tracer is continually losing energy as it emits gamma rays of radioactivity, which are used to form images with the gamma cameras during the scan.
• Within a few hours most of the injected dose is flushed out of the system via the urinary system. You'll be advised to increase your fluid intake for the rest of the day.
• If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, extra precautions will be taken, so please inform your radiographer or doctor before starting the procedure.
How long will my nuclear medicine scan take?
This depends on what you're having looked at. The shortest possible visit will be for a thyroid scan which is done 20 minutes after injection, but for a bone scan, for example, you usually have to wait two or three hours before imaging commences, but you are free to leave the department and come back later for imaging. Other nuclear studies may involve several hours of scanning at different times of which you will be informed, so plan accordingly.
Will I need a referral for a nuclear medicine scan or treatment?
Because this is a specialised field, it's advisable that you be referred by your GP or specialist even if you are returning for your annual check-up, such as for a follow-up bone scan. The referral letter will contain your clinical history, so that we are correctly informed. Please bring any previous scans and reports along for comparison, even if the study was performed at another nuclear medicine facility.
If you have any questions about nuclear medicine or would like to learn more, please post your comment here. Visit www.facebook.com/MediclinicSouthernAfrica to boost your medical knowledge.

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL roadster is revealed Monday at Cobo Center. / JESSICA J. TREVINO/Detroit Free Press
Daimler introduced the latest version of the Mercedes SL and hybrid versions of the Mercedes E-Class on Monday.
According to Thomas Weber, Daimler board member in charge of group research and Mercedes-Benz cars development, the SL stands for "super" and "light."
He called the SL, later driven out by Dieter Zetsche, chairman of Daimler's board and head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, "roadster driving at its best."
The design features an upright grille with headlights pushed to the corners to emphasize the car's width, which increases 2.24 inches from 2012. The car's 2-inch greater length is emphasized by the low hood and horizontal chrome fins that sweep back from large fender vents.
Mercedes-Benz gets very serious about hybrids as it drops the electric system into its best-selling vehicle -- the E-class luxury sedan -- and adds a unique diesel hybrid to its European lineup.
The E400 hybrid sedan, which goes on sale in the U.S. in the second half of this year, combines a direct-injection gasoline V6 with a small hybrid motor and battery for projected EPA fuel economy ratings of 24 m.p.g. in the city, 31 on the highway and 27 combined. In addition to auto-stop and regenerative braking, the hybrid engine can propel the E400 on electricity alone for short distances. Mercedes will also sell it in China and Japan.
The E300 Bluetec is the first luxury car to combine the high-m.p.g. diesel engine Europeans love with a hybrid system.

The York City School Board has gone through considerable turnover in the last year, considering there wasn't even a school board election.
Two resignations and one vacated seat meant three new board members.
Now, heading into an election year, the school board will have five seats up for grabs, with incumbent board members varying on whether they will seek re-election. The seats, which are not paid positions, include four four-year seats and one two-year seat.
Leader seeking return: Board president Margie Orr said she has made up her mind to pursue re-election for a four-year seat. Orr's peers gave her a second year as board president in December and she said she has unfinished business.
"I want to try to complete what I started with the board," Orr said.
Other board members whose seats are up include Sandie Walker, Diane Brown, Aaron Willford Jr. and Jose Santiago.
Brown's seat would be for two years. She was appointed for one year by the board late last year after Gregg Nelson resigned just a year into his four-year term. The remaining two years of Nelson's term are up for election.
Brown said she is undecided about running, as she is weighing the time commitment and her job.
"My heart is with the kids here in York," Brown said.
Willford is also unsure whether to run. Willford is on his second go-round with the board, but has never had to be elected.
In 2010, he was appointed for a one-year term to replace board member Tom Foust, who died from cancer. Last fall, the minister was appointed again, this time to take the seat of Gary Calhoun, who resigned. Willford would be seeking a four-year seat.
Recovery plan: The status of the school district's state-appointed financial recovery program, which could dramatically affect how the district runs, is a factor, Willford said. A financial recovery committee and a chief recovery officer are coming up with a plan to help improve the district's finances; the school board will have to approve a plan or face further state intervention.
"I'm looking at which direction the school district is going in regards to this recovery," Willford said.
Willford said he thinks the district already was going in the right direction, and that he would not be comfortable being elected by city residents and then having to cede power to the state.
"One thing I am not is a rubber stamp," he said.
Sandie Walker, the leading vote-getter four years ago in securing her first term, said she is not seeking re-election; Walker did not elaborate as to her reason.
Santiago, who was selected by the board to serve after the board vacated Beverly Atwater's seat, said he plans to run. Both are four-year seats.

Nick Cafardo provides this interesting nugget in his Sunday notes column at the Boston Globe …
Hanley Ramirez, 1B-DH, Red Sox — There's now talk in the front office that Dave Dombrowski is trying to move Ramirez in a deal. The Mariners, Orioles, and Angels seem to be the targets, and all three make sense.
Cafardo notes that "there are huge hurdles to cross" before a trade could happen — like how much of Hanley's remaining salary the Red Sox would have to eat and what positions the soon-to-be 32-year-old is able to play defensively at this point in his career.
Boston's higher-ups have asked Ramirez to learn first base and drop 20 pounds this winter. Whatever team is looking to acquire him would probably have to be comfortable with him serving primarily as a designated hitter.
Hanley is owed $68.2 million over the next three seasons and he carries a $22 million vesting option for 2019. He batted just .249/.291/.426 in 105 games this past year.
Ben Zobrist posted a cool .809 OPS (120 OPS+) in 126 games this summer between Oakland and Kansas City while appearing defensively at second base, third base, and both corner outfield positions.
His steady bat and defensive versatility make him a fit for just about every club in Major League Baseball, and the defending National League champions are among the teams in hot pursuit …
It's a little odd to see the rebuilding Braves listed there given that Zobrist is 34 years old, but Rosenthal says the interest stems from a "desire for him to serve as [a] model for younger players" as the club prepares to open a new ballpark in 2017. Wasn't that supposed to be Nick Markakis' job?
Zobrist and his agent Alan Nero are believed to be seeking a four-year deal.
Hey, the hot stove is finally generating some real fire …
CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Tigers have agreed to terms on a contract with free agent starter Jordan Zimmermann. It's a five-year deal worth around $110 million, per Jon Morosi of FOX Sports.
This should have a domino effect on a loaded starting pitching market. David Price, Zack Greinke, Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, and Jeff Samardzija are just a few of the names still out there.
Zimmermann, 29, posted a 3.66 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 164/39 K/BB ratio in 201 2/3 innings this past season for the Nationals. He had a 2.66 ERA in 2014 and threw a no-hitter on the final day of the regular season.
Zimmermann's free agency is tied to draft pick compensation because he rejected a one-year, $15.8 million qualifying offer from Washington, but the Tigers finished with one of the 10-worst win-loss records in 2015 so their first-round pick in 2016 is protected. Detroit will give up its second-round pick instead.

With such a diverse range of user expectations, creating high quality education applications can be challenging. Yet the apps that win will meet the demands of users no matter what level of student or trainee they are - at home, on the campus or in the classroom.
Education & Learning Challenges
Education apps have a far-reaching audience. There are apps that need to appeal to toddlers, apps designed for college students and adult learners, training apps for new employees and everything in between. Despite the wide user base, there are some common challenges education app developers will find familiar, such as:
- Authenticity: For some apps, it's vital to verify the user.
- Privacy and Security: When dealing with small children, privacy and security become even more important.
- Accessibility: Your app needs to be usable by all learners and Section 508-compliant.
- Support Peak Load: Whether it's during class or the rush before finals, your app needs to be able to handle pressure.
- Usability: Usability is particularly important - and particularly hard to gauge - when targeting younger children.
- Device Matrix: The number of device, operating system and version combinations is dizzying. But your app needs to look good and work well on all of them.

Comic Books For Professionals
One of the most identifiable and victorious periods in the comics time were: the Golden age, Silver age and the Bronze Age. We've all heard of the saying, "what increases have to boil down." This seemed to put on the comics sector also considering that it really did not simply come down in the mid 1990s, however it came down with a collision.
Recently the comic publication market has actually been attempting to choose itself up through the help of comic 2 films. One of the troubles that led to the failure of the comics sector was said to be availability due to the extraction of comics from shops and shops. As long as comics are viewed as a youngster thing, or for the unintelligent, it would be challenging for significant growth in the American sector.
In the past, there were a great deal of objections concerning comics making the visitors overdue and depreciating their reading capabilities. These objections resulted in composing of the comic codes.
Numerous of us read comics when we were youngsters, yet when we attacked fourteen we are feeling closer to adulthood. We're young adults, young people. This meant anything synonymous to kids needed to go, including our comics. The problem was, we recognized we couldn't simply quit checking out comics or take care of them, so some of us made a decision to review our comics in personal. We also played the hide the comics inside another schoolbook technique, going as much as to dis comics facing all our pals, to make sure that no person linked us with such "juvenile points".
Several of you may have experienced checking out comics at a shop all set to acquire, when one of your friends stroll into the store. You are strolling to the cashier and discover her strolling towards you. You're now trying to conceal the comic publication behind your back and talk to her as smoothly as feasible, praying that she doesn't see this comic publication you're hiding. You greet each other and talk a little. For you she notices the comic book behind you and asks, "Exactly what's that you're holding behind your back." You start to sweat and all that runs with your mind is "Oh no!" You now start to consider all the possible justifications you could possibly offer to explain why you're holding a super friends comic publication in 2006. Bingo! You've obtained an idea, so you with confidence begin to detail to her, "Oh this point, my little sibling prefers to review this item of trash." For you she thought it and your track record is secure.
Let's be actual, if we saw any person around the age of seventeen to fifty reading comics we would certainly believe to ourselves, "Isn't he to old for that?" This grown up man may be a wizard and even a wonderful sportsmen, yet if he gets a comic book, he's merely another unintelligent nerd. The entire point I'm attempting to make is adults and comics don't mix in our society. As I mentioned previously, it is due to the perception developed regarding comics. Theories like comic-books are photo books for small amount of children or comics make visitors overdue and lessen their reading capabilities aided construct the understanding. And neither has actually been shown.
Comic publications are practical to viewers since it is a kind of tale telling. The photos just help one catch the story being told, causing the creation of a noticeable scene. Film producers, instructors, video clip game designers, Experts, designers, etc, all apply this technique.

Richard Pitino had an extremely hectic morning but was "excited as can be" to take over for Tubby Smith as Gophers basketball coach, Pitino's friend and former colleague, Manhattan coach Steve Masiello, said Wednesday, April 3.
The University of Minnesota announced an agreement in principle with Pitino, the Florida International coach, to replace Smith, who once succeeded Pitino's father as Kentucky coach. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
"We spoke a little bit earlier in the day," said Masiello, who worked with Pitino as an assistant for Pitino's father, Rick, at Louisville. "But he's kind of been going nonstop, going all over the place."
The 30-year-old Richard Pitino led Florida International to an 18-14 record (11-9 in the Sun Belt Conference) this season, his first as a head coach.It was the school's first winning season in 13 years. The Panthers advanced to the Sun Belt tournament championship game but fell just short of reaching the NCAA tournament after losing to Western Kentucky.
Gophers athletics director Norwood Teague fired Smith on March 25 after Minnesota lost in the third round of the NCAA tournament to Florida in Austin, Texas.
The assumption then was that Teague and associate AD Mike Ellis had their guy already picked out to replace Smith. But, judging by rumors and reports, several coaches appeared to turn the Gophers down. Virginia Commonwealth's Shaka Smart, Butler's Brad Stevens, Iowa State's Fred Hoiberg and Marquette's Buzz Williams were said to have been the Gophers' top candidates.
Smart and Anthony Grant, both former Florida assistants, were hired at VCU through Ellis' Villa 7 program, which matches assistants with ADs across the country. Pitino wasn't a Villa 7 guy. But neither was Arizona State assistant Eric Musselman, who was scheduled to fly to Fort Myers, Fla., on Wednesday to interview before canceling his trip, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation.
Musselman's father, Bill, coached the Gophers (1971-75) and was the expansion Timberwolves coach (1989-91).
Masiello, who played for Kentucky under Pitino's father and was a Louisville assistant from 2005-11, said age shouldn't keep Richard Pitino from succeeding as a Big Ten coach. But Pitino will be the youngest coach in the Big Ten (Northwestern's newly hired Chris Collins is next at 38). He was the third-youngest coach in Division I basketball when he was hired at FIU last season.
"When LeBron (James) was 22, it didn't matter," Masiello said. "(Pitino) might be 30, but he has about 15 years of experience. Age is irrelevant because he's got some of the best experience there is, being around the best in the business."
Pitino is the Gophers' second-youngest coach. L.J. Cooke was 29 when he officially became the first head coach of the program in 1898.
Pitino served two stints as a Louisville assistant under his father (2007-09, 2011-12). In between, he was on Florida coach Billy Donovan's staff (2009-11).
A Massachusetts native, Richard Pitino started his college coaching career on Ron Everhart's staff at Northeastern in 2005-06. He bonded well with then senior guard J.J. Barea, who now plays for the Timberwolves.
Everhart said Pitino developed a great relationship with players but commanded their respect. He knew how to draw a line between a coach and player. That's a tough thing to do for a young coach, Everhart said.
"But he did it without a glitch," he said. "You knew he was a special coach and a special kind of person, but especially when we went through some real adversity after we went to Duquesne the following year."
Pitino followed Everhart to Duquesne for the 2006-07 season. On Sept. 17, 2006, five Duquesne basketball players were shot after a school dance at about 2:15 a.m. A man who had been disruptive at the dance shot two players walking near their dormitory. Other players were shot trying to come to their aid. One player needed bullet fragments removed from his head. All five players survived, but it was a harrowing experience for the team and coaching staff. Most of them were asleep at the time of the incident. But once everyone found out what happened, Pitino was the "glue guy" who helped keep everyone calm.
"Richard handled it like the president of the United States," Everhart said. "I know from a personal standpoint, it would have been tough for me to get through that without him. You might see him as a 30-year-old guy, but he's a very mature guy. He's a very intelligent and smart young man. Obviously, he knows how to handle success as well as adversity. I don't think there's too much that's going to rattle him."
Pitino faced a different kind of challenge this season, his first as a head coach at any level. At 29, he took over an FIU program in disarray after hall of famer Isiah Thomas went 26-65 in three seasons as coach. Pitino had only five scholarship players in his rotation and started two walk-ons. When the Panthers went to the Sun Belt Conference tournament title game, Pitino's father was there in the crowd to cheer him on. They came within two points of making the second NCAA tournament appearance in program history and first since 1995.
Everhart, who is now an assistant coach at West Virginia, watched Richard Pitino's team play in person this season. He described FIU's style of play as an up-tempo offense that creates most of its baskets from constant full-court pressure on defense. That's similar to the philosophy Smith had with the Gophers.
"It was really fun to watch," Everhart said. "They were getting right up on you, not retreating on defense but attacking. It was just really exciting. There's going to be a lot of people willing to buy a ticket to watch his teams play because of the effort and intensity they play with."
Pitino had a six-year contract at FIU, paying him a $250,000 base salary annually. He made more money than that as an assistant/associate head coach in his last season at Louisville in 2011-12. The Cardinals earned a trip to the Final Four on Sunday after beating Duke. Pitino supported his father and former team by attending the game in Indianapolis. He was there to see the gruesome broken leg suffered by Kevin Ware, whom he recruited from Georgia. After the victory, Pitino and his father spent time with Ware in the hospital. They hardly celebrated the win, he said later.
"It was probably the most difficult thing I've ever seen during a basketball game, and hopefully I'll never see it again," Pitino told Fox Sports Florida. "It's really a difficult situation. Last year, we went to the Final Four, and I can't tell you how excited we were. And then this year, that happens in the middle of a game and it really was bittersweet."

|Neutral amino acid transport by isolated small intestinal cells from guinea pigs.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1767844 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Neutral amino acid transport was examined by using isolated enterocytes. Cells transport L-alanine by at least three different mechanisms: two Na(+)-dependent systems (A and ASC) and one Na(+)-independent mechanism (system L), in addition to passive entry. System A was characterized acterized by measuring the Na(+)-dependent alpha-(methylamino)isobutyric acid (MeAIB) uptake. Na(+)-dependent MeAIB uptake was concentrative and saturable. Vmax was obtained at 80mM Na+ in the incubation medium and Kt app for Na+ was 21.5 mM. Kt app for MeAIB was 6.75 +/- 0.37 mM and the Vmax was 14.2 +/- 0.3 nmol.mg-1.min-1. System ASC was studied by evaluating the Na(+)-dependent L-alanine uptake, insensitive to MeAIB and inhibitable by L-serine and L-cysteine. Uptake by this mechanism was also concentrative and saturable. Maximal uptake was obtained with 80 mM Na+ in the incubation medium and Kt app for Na+ was 29.7 mM. Kt app for L-alanine was 7.02 +/- 0.61 mM and Vmax was 5.44 +/- 0.19 nmol.mg-1.min-1. The Na(+)-independent system L was studied by measuring cycloleucine uptake in Na(+)-free medium. It had a saturable and a nonsaturable component. Only the saturable component was concentrative; it was inhibited by 2-amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid and was capable of mediating exchange diffusion. Kt app for cycloleucine was 4.05 +/- 0.72 mM and the Vmax was 31.9 +/- 1.3 nmol.mg-1.min-1. These results confirm the existence of Na(+)-dependent systems A and ASC and Na(+)-independent system L in isolated enterocytes.

There are quite a few new faces at Midlakes varsity football practice this offseason after the Screaming Eagles graduated 16 seniors from their 2011 roster.
"We're young, but we're coming along," fourth-year coach John Lombardi said. "It's going to be a learning year. I have a lot of confidence in the younger kids, they have worked hard so far."
Midlakes went 5-4 in 2011 making it to the Section 5 Class B semifinals before falling to powerhouse Hornell.
The Screaming Eagles spent a lot of time in the weight room this offseason.
"We've got a lot of young talent, they just need experience and we need these seniors to help them," senior offensive lineman Tyler Smith. "We need to pick up the slack. We've been trying to get them in the weight room to get some size."
Smith and Cam Colacino are returning players on the offensive and defensive lines. They've been working closely with the linemen to get them up to speed.
One of the new lineman is senior Ben Shultes, a former Midlakes volleyball player who is playing football for the first time. Lombardi said Shultes has been a regular at offseason programs.
The Screaming Eagles are going to continue to rely on their running game offensively. One of the primary ball carriers will be senior Cody Maher. The back didn't get too many carries for the Screaming Eagles in 2011 because Maher was behind Brandon Sauve, Keagan Turner and Conner Fox. Maher is excited to get more work this year.
"He's a tough runner and a hard-nosed kid, but unfortunately it was one of those things where there's too many people in the spot he played," Lombardi said. "I think he'll shine for us this year. He's been the key person for me as far as leading in the offseason."
Junior Mason Jones and sophomore Sam Pierce are also offensive playmakers for the Screaming Eagles.
Linebackers Maher and Smith will be key components of the Midlakes defense. Smith was one of the team's leading tacklers last season.
Midlakes doesn't have as big a roster as it has had in recent years, so it will be important to avoid injuries.
"We've got to be conditioned, because we don't have very many kids," Maher said. "Everyone has got to play a full game. We've got to stay active, we can't get tired. We've got to be ready."
Midlakes starts the season with a home game against Waterloo at 7 p.m. Friday. The Screaming Eagles defeated the Indians 19-6 in 2011.

Job Searches, Law Schools, Star Jones, Television, Unemployment, Videos
When William Robinson, president of the American Bar Association, gave an interview in which he suggested that unemployed or underemployed law school graduates "should have known what they were getting into," he was widely criticized. His emphasis on "personal responsibility" didn't go over too well in some quarters of the legal profession and blogosphere.
But in defense of Bill Robinson, other people share his views. And some of these people are prominent personages.
Take prosecutor turned television personality Star Jones, who seems to have little sympathy for jobless law grads….
It's official: the controversy over the value proposition of law school has gone mainstream. First it hit the New York Times, through a series of hard-hitting articles by David Segal. And now it's being featured on morning television talk shows, so people can consider this weighty subject between bites of oatmeal and swigs of coffee.
Yesterday the Today Show did a short segment on the law school lawsuits. After host Matt Lauer briefly described the cases — purported class actions filed by graduates of various law schools against their alma maters, based on allegedly misleading employment statistics — he turned the floor over to his panel of commentators. Panelists Star Jones, Donny Deutsch, and Dr. Nancy Snyderman were unsympathetic to the plaintiffs.
Jones, a litigatrix turned legal commentator, said that there was "no way" the suits would be successful. She suggested that the plaintiffs should focus their energies on their job searches rather than blaming others. "No one's going to hand you a job," she said. "I hate whiners!"
Deutsch, who is not a lawyer, viewed the controversy from a cultural rather than legal perspective. "This isn't a legal issue," he said. "This is what I call the Whiny Generation…. Talk about Brokaw's 'Greatest Generation' — this is the opposite."
Do you share the reactions of Jones and Deutsch? Check out this short video clip (under two minutes):

Congratulations to Public Interest Editor Matt Reed and FLORIDA TODAY.
Reed's Sunday column, "This time, it really is a crisis," provided a complete and concise discussion of Brevard County's school funding problems. It appears a half-cent sales tax will be like putting a Band-Aid on a large wound, and the school funding problems will not be solved, only moved down the road for the next generation.
And if the problem is approached from a sales tax solution, it will have to be done over and over again just to stay even. ...

Chris Paul might be going to Los Angeles after all. Might even be playing in Staples Center.
No, not with the Lakers, but with their roommate, the Los Angeles Clippers. According to ESPN.com, the Clips are on a short list of teams Paul would approve of being traded to Los Angeles to team up with Blake Griffin. But that's only if the Lakers or Knicks can't swing a deal for him. Which at this point, appears unlikely.
The Lakers had a three-way deal worked out to bring Paul to Los Angeles before David Stern and the NBA vetoed it for so-called "basketball reasons." Talks re-engaged, but felt apart again Saturday night when the Hornets reportedly asked for too much. A piece in the trade, Lamar Odom, was then sent to Dallas for a trade exception, essentially busting any chance a deal would go through.
The Clippers understand though that it's a risk to trade for Paul as any team that acquires him runs the risk of him not signing an extension. He likely wouldn't sign one as under the new collective bargaining agreement rules, it's better for a player to wait until his deal runs out and sign a contract in free agency.
Interesting twist to that in this case though: The Clippers aren't asking for Paul to sign an extension yet. All they want is for him to pick up the player option on his contract for 2012-13. That would postpone his free agency one more year. And if CP3 is willing to do that, the Clippers would evidently be open to deal their top two most highly prized assets in Eric Gordon and Minnesota's unprotected 2012 No. 1 pick.
That's very important stuff.
The only way anyone can really see the Clippers landing Paul would be to part with Gordon and the Wolves unprotected pick. And if the Clips were willing to part with those, it's a very real possibility that CP3 could be headed to Clipperland sometime this week.
According to the report, the Hornets have already asked the Clippers for Gordon, Chris Kaman, Eric Bledsoe, Al-Farouq Aminu and at least two future first-round picks for CP3. That's a whole lot of cheese right there. Probably a little too steep for the Clippers, in fact.
But that's more the deal the league evidently is interested in after vetoing the original deal. The original three-way trade with Houston that brought Lamar Odom, Luis Scola, Goran Dragic and Kevin Martin to New Orleans allowed the Hornets to stay competitive. This new scenario allows them to get younger and rebuild, which apparently is the league's desire.
The Clippers deal is better in my mind, but it's a matter of if the Clips are willing to pay that kind of price just to get Paul for maybe two seasons. Teaming him with Blake Griffin is of course a very exciting prospect, but Gordon is a top 10 scorer with a ton of upside still, Minnesota's pick is maybe the most valuable asset in the league (it could very well turn into Anthony Davis), and Eric Bledsoe is a promising young point guard. That's a whole lot to pay, even for a player of CP3's caliber.
If the Hornets were able to swing this deal, I would give it up to Stern and the league, because it's undeniably better. But it's a big if at this point. Mainly because we're talking about the Clippers here and the fact that Chris Paul would have to buy into them long-term. Seems pretty iffy still to me.

I hope the Clippers can get Paul without giving up Gordon. Bledsoe, Kaman, Aminu and a top 5 pick in the deepest draft in 10 years is more than enough for Chris Paul.This is exactly what the league owned Hornets are going to demand for CP3! Maybe not all of this, but anything short of a lot of this is NOT better than what the Lakers/Rockets would've offered the Hornets!!
Especially w/o Gordan and picks!!!

You have to be pretty ignorant of things to think Odom, Martin, Scola, Dragic is better than the Clipper deal. Eric Gordon is a 22 year old furture perennial all star that is getting better every year, he alone is better than anyone from the previous deal. Bledsoe is a solid point guard and is just 22 while Aminu is just 21, both of those guys will be starters in the league. Kaman is a past all star who is still a good center. All that plus a possible top 5 pick in what is one of the deepest drafts in years is just an insane amount to give up and is a million times better than what they wouldve got in the prior deal. The Clippers would be stupid to trade all that but theyre the Clippers so they probably will.
Meanwhile Odom is 32, Scola is 31, Martin is 28 and Dragic is the youngest at 25. The draft picks they would have gotten would have been all mid to low picks. With that you can compete for the 8th seed in the playoffs for a year and dwindle in medicority with nobody to sell jerseys or get people in the seats. That deal would have been bad for the Hornets and im glad Stern blocked it.
I hope the Clippers can get Paul without giving up Gordon. Bledsoe, Kaman, Aminu and a top 5 pick in the deepest draft in 10 years is more than enough for Chris Paul.

As a Clippers fan I'm torn. Chris Paul is amazing and I'd love to have him on the team. But I don't want to lose Eric Gordon, he is on his way to being one of the best shooting guards in the league.
Give away picks, Kaman, and young guys like Aminu, and Bledso. But keep Griffin, Gordon, and Jordan playing together. They can grow into the next OKC. Just need to give them a chance to develope as a team.
I don't want CP3 on the team bad enough to risk breaking up a core that has so much promise.

of course I know the league owns the Hornets. That is the problem. There is a conflict of interest and because the NBA owns a franchise it cannot act as authoritative overseer that governs the league. That is the the problem. And dont even try this get younger crap because they would have gotten young all star caliber players in Martin and Scola. This was a power play by Stern. Period.

Umm, cause nobody has ever come back from an injury, AMIRITE? He obviously passed all the tests, otherwise no team would even want to sign him. The guy has averaged over 18 PPG over his career, I'll take that as my third option all day long.It's a pattern with him. Many players do come back from an injury, but not always multiple years of injuries. I don't think a guy who played in a little over 100 games the past 3 seasons is deserving of a 3 year deal. On the other side of it, if he plays well and his around his career avg. in points then it's a bargain deal. If the Clippers make this foolish deal though , he will have to average 30 PPG for them to be successful.

Stern sure can't accuse the clippers of being a powerhouse. They literally have been rebuilding for forty years. The problem is one player will never make a differance to an orgization like that. They are always more interested in keeping their jobs than helping the organization. They hire people like themselves. so in the end you have a group of selfish people, and that filters down to the players.Lose a bunch of games, draft a star. He fits into the organization and you have years of losing. If Sterling is still the owner he fits the mold I am talking about.

There is no way in hell that anyone can possibly believe that Gordon, Kaman, Bledsoe and Aminu 2 future draft picks is better than Odom, Martin, Scola, Dragic and draft pick.Do you realize that the NBA owns the Hornets? They wanted to get younger, though I don't think LA should make this deal, it will give the league (again, the owner of the team) the younger players they wanted to get back.

That isn't a terrible lineup, what are you talking about? Depth? Like I said, they aren't gonna give up 4 guys for 1, the money wouldn't match up in the trade. They'll get some bench players from the Hornets. Not to mention, they'd still have Foye and Gomes.
Go ahead and make this trade Clippers!! You will have NO depth. Caron Butler hasn't played in 70 games since 2005-06. He hasn't played in 50 since 2008-09. The last 2 years he's only played in 56 games combined!Louie answered the Butler question for me.
So your going to rely on Ryan Gomes & Randy Foye to be your third options for scoring?

We're heartened to say that after showing you a picture of Lindsay Lohan playing Elizabeth Taylor yesterday, once again we have news from the star that does not involve court rooms or ankle bracelets. This morning, we spotted the actress in an exclusive video on The Cut by artist Richard Phillips.
The 90 second short, which is called "First Point," officially premieres on June 11 during Art Unlimited at Art Basel and features Lohan in sporty swimwear on the beach set to a soundtrack by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk. Although she is present for most of the film, there are spots that incorporate pro-surfer Kassia Meador as a body double.
Lindsay's hair is a very bleached out blonde, which means that she either shot the footage before starting her Liz Taylor biopic or she's wearing a wig in the Lifetime movie. Watch it below and let us know which hair color you prefer, or—like us—you're hoping she'll go back to red.

'Postal Service' e-mail delivers computer virus
E-mails claiming to be from the post office contain a virus, and computer experts from Carnegie Mellon University and others are trying to contain the bug.
The advice from a postal inspector is to not open the e-mail or its attachment, and don't forward it to the U.S. Postal Service, FBI or police to get them to investigate.
"We already know this is out there," said Postal Service Inspector Andrew Richards.
The e-mails have resurfaced in the Pittsburgh area this week.
The Postal Service doesn't send e-mails to customers, according to Richards. It normally contacts people through letters delivered in the mail, he said.
The bogus Postal Service e-mail tells people who read it that a package couldn't be delivered.
It asks them to click on the e-mail link to see the label.
Doing so opens an attachment, said Ed Schlesinger, chairman of CMU's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
The attachment launches malicious software known as a computer virus.
"The virus gets into their computer before they know it's a virus," he said.
The virus can track key strokes and give the intruder access to financial or other private information, he said.
"Don't open an e-mail that claims to be from the Postal Service," Richards said. "And if you open the e-mail by accident, make sure you don't open the attachment."
If you don't know the sender, don't open up an e-mail, Schlesinger said.
Richards said CMU and other universities are looking for a way to defeat the virus.
While it's unclear where the bug originated, the intent of the virus is to harm individual computers.
Postal Service spokesman Tad Kelley said the office is telling its employees and contractors to be careful about opening unsolicited e-mail.
"People should always be way of any e-mail and be careful what they open up. Unfortunately, this is not the first e-mail that purports to be from the Postal Service and it's not," he said.Additional Information:

well what happened was We spoke about it on Thurs 2weeks b4 xmas
then the next Weds i got started !!! thats an entire week for him to think about it. And then what happened was when i put the soil up to the top of the CMU wall where the brick ledge is ( bricks have not been layed at this point) It rained a lot and poured over into the cells of the CMU and came in to the house. It was just bad BAD timing for the most part ... BUT !!!! this doesn't mean my french drain is at fault... adn they are fixing to put the bricks up this week and JUST NOW this week the architect is telling me we need to do this drainsheet or waterproofing membrane and need to dig out that by the wall ... The architect is going to call me today from what the contractor and i just talked about .. the contractor is saying its not my fault either. That the architect should have suggested this to begin with. and then there is the rain that poured into the cells. The contractor actually was there at the time it was raining and looked out and saw it going in there and started to do something about it. But it was a little to late and then the water oozed in ...
might lay the bricks and never have anymore trouble out of it ...
i told the contractor to fill the cells with motar b4 the bricks went in.
to make sure.

65 million to 2 million BP : Paleocene to Pliocene
The Cenozoic Era began around 65 million years ago and continues into current
times. The Tertiary Period encompasses the Cenozoic Era through the Pliocene Period.
As the Mesozoic is considered the Age of Dinosaurs, the Cenozoic is considered
the Age of Mammals. Following the demise of the dinosaurs, mammals proliferated and
became the worlds most fearsome carnivores. Uplift of the Great Plains occurred early
in the Tertiary while the Mississippi embayment persisted and peneplanation leveled the
Ozarks. A broad-leaved forest then existed from the still rising Rockies to the east
coast. Through most of the Tertiary, the Ozarks were a vast, low, forested plain with
slow streams and swamps. Ozark flora then included Acer rubrum var. Drummondii,
Acer saccharum, Alnus genus, Amelanchier genus, Arundinaria gigantea, Berchemia
scandens, Bumelia lanuginosa var. oblongifolia, Carpinus genus, Carya aquatica, Castanea
genus, Cephalanthus occidentalis var. pubescens, Cercis canadensis, Chionanthus virginica,
Cladrastis lutea, Cornus foemina, Cornus florida, Corylus genus, Cotinus obovatus,
Crataegus genus, Diospyros virginiana, Fagus genus, Fraxinus tomentosa, Gleditsia
aquatica, Ilex decidua, Itea virginica, Juglans genus, Leitneria floridana, Lindera benzoin,
Nyssa aquatica, Ostrya genus, Pinus genus, Planera aquatica, Platanus genus, Populus
heterophylla, Prunus genus, Quercus lyrata, Q. michauxii, Q. nigra, Q. phellos, Rhus genus,
Salix genus, Sassafras albidum, Styrax americana, Taxodium distichum, Tilia genus,
Ulmus genus, Viburnum rufidulum, and Wisteria macrostachya. Our present persimmon
is closely related to the Tertiary large-leaved persimmon, and the Cotinus genus of the
Tertiary Period shows very little difference between fossil and living leaf structure.
The Paleocene Period is the first of the Cenozoic series. These were usually geologically
quiet, dry, and tropical times but around 60 million BP, India collided with Asia creating
the Himalayan Mountains. The ancestors of the monkeys, the lemuroids, appeared in the
Paleocene. The Eocene Period follows, beginning around 58 million BP. It was warm and
sub-tropical globally, and the lower Eocene in our area was a warm, humid coastal
plain with adjacent highlands in Arkansas. Cladrastis eocenica may have existed in this
area in the Eocene Period. At around 50 million BP, another mass extinction occurred. The
Pacific Ocean Emperor seamounts rose around 48 million BP, and the Pacific plate itself
was turning northwest by 43 million BP. At 40 million BP, a land bridge reached from South
America thru Antarctica to Australia, across which the beech tree possibly spread. During
the Eocene Period, the whale family moved into the sea. 55 million year old whales in
Pakistan still possessed four legs while those 40 million years old from Egypt had only
pelvic feet. Primitive monkeys appeared during the Eocene, and by 45 million BP, a
mouse-sized primate lived in China. The oldest flowering plant amber or resin has reached
us from 53 million BP containing moths, flies, flowers, and leaves of the period. The
Eocene Period also produced butterflies, bats, camels, the class Nematomorpha, Eohippus -
the forerunner of the horse, and the belemnites became extinct. By the end of the Eocene
Period, this area probably occupied its current geographical space.
Around 38 million BP the Oligocene Period began. It had a warm, temperate
climate, and was a geologically active period with much uplift and tilting. The Midway
Islands were raised around 28 million BP. The mastodon dates back to this period.
The Miocene Period began around 24 million BP. It had a temperate climate and,
at least toward the end, was a geologically active period. Global uplift occurred,
primarily as linear upwarpings, which left us with a rolling or undulating landsurface
above the younger incised valleys. Since about 20 million BP, the continents have been
largely high and dry because of extensive uplift and permanent significant ice at the
poles. 19 million years ago land mammals first appear in the West Indies on Cuba as
primates, sloths, and rodents, and around 16 million years ago another large asteroid
blasted part of the Martian crust out into space. The middle Miocene formations in North
America have produced mastodons. Porpoises first appear during the Miocene Period.
Till late in the Tertiary, this area was part of a low-lying, wet, peneplain with
bald cypress, sweet gum, and possibly Quercus nigra, Q. phellos, Q. michauxii, Populus
heterophylla, Fagus caroliniana, Planera aquatica, and Ilex opaca. Then the Ozarks were
again uplifted producing its present high and dry physiology and restricting the bald
cypress and sweet gum to the extreme southeast corner of Missouri. The Great Plains
region uplifted at about the same time and the Boston and Ouachita mountains uplifted
soon after. Peneplanation again followed which can be seen as accordant levels of the
summits of hills, and then producing wide meander valleys. The course of current streams
were then determined, and a final slight uplift later produced the wide, deep valleys.
Tertiary "Lafayette" gravels cap low-lying hills in the Miami, Oklahoma area.
The Pliocene Period began around 8 million BP with continuing uplift. This was
followed by denudation which produced most of today's non-glacier landscape of
basins, lowlands, and coastal and interior plains. Around 6 million BP, Europe and
Africa collide creating a Paleo-Mediterranean Sea. It dried up around 5.6 million BP,
until the Straits of Gibraltar opened around 4.9 million BP. 5.1 million BP the Kauai
islands were raised. It is most commonly accepted that the hominids split from apes
somewhere between 7 and 5 million years ago. The earliest (so far) direct evidence of
early hominids is the teeth of Australopithecus afarensis in Ethiopia dated to between
4.5 and 3.7 million BP. Next is the Ardipithecus ramidus fossils from 4.4 million BP,
also from Ethiopia. A. anamensis follows at 4.1 million BP in Kenya. Around 4 million
BP the Grand Canyon in Arizona began to grow. A. afarensis footprints in Tanzania date
back to 3.6 million years and the same species in Ethiopia between 3.4 and 3 million
BP was involved in a volcanic eruption which also buried juniper and olive tree forests,
elephants, babboons, pigs, rodents, and monkeys. Lucy, a famous representative of the
A. afarensis lived in Ethiopia around 3.18 million years ago. Australopithecus africanus
found near Johannesburg dates to 2.8 million BP, and Australopithecus aethiopicus
from Ethiopia dates to 2.6 million BP. The earliest stone tools found date back to
2.6 million years ago. Homo genus fossils from Malawi and Kenya date back to 2.4
million BP, while a Homo jawbone from Ethiopia is 2.3 million years old. The end of
the Pliocene Period was geologically active with upheavals placing the mountains at
their present heights.

Sorry, no time to write a column this week. Way too busy scrambling to get ready for a hectic month of Hanover parties and remembrances.
Maybe what I need is some sort of checklist to make sure I don't miss any of the cool events coming to town this hot summer. And there's no use pretending the big 150/250 summer isn't already here.
Let's see, I need to publicize that block party sponsored by the Hanover Heritage Association from 7 to 9 p.m. June 27 at Wirt Park. And I'd better not forget the roundtable of local Civil War authors I foolishly promised to moderate from 5:30 to 8 p.m. that same night at Guthrie Memorial Library. Should be interesting, with experts on everything from Battle of Hanover heroes to local ghosts. I'll mark my calendar. And I should get to reading up so I don't look any more foolish than necessary.
Speaking of looking foolish, I'm a little worried about the "period attire encouraged" portion of the anniversary gala set for June 28. Nothing against the historically inclined, sartorially speaking. I've met folks who can pull that kind of costume off. But personally I think I'd look pretty silly in a Civil War suit.
At least I remembered to reserve an Evening Sun table. I'll plan on a tux for now; you can't be overdressed at the Hanover Country Club.
The local folks know the Pixies Three, I'm certain, so all I need to do is remind people who haven't bought tickets to the gala, they are available through Kim Klapper at 717-965-1282. Once I remember to get that in the paper, let me know what you find out about the dress code.
The tickets are already all spoken for when the world famous Airmen of Note, the premier jazz ensemble of the U.S. Air Force, will hold a free concert on June 29 at the Hanover High School Auditorium. Thanks to John Gerken, the Hanover Rotary Club and the Hanover Public School District for bringing this class act to town for our timely celebration. The folks lucky enough to have tickets certainly have something to celebrate.
I'd better not forget that Saturday is also parade day, when the whole town will turn out to commemorate both the 250th anniversary of the founding of Hanover, and the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Hanover. Jeanna Wharton, at 717-633-6223, is handling that. After the parade, downtown Hanover will be closed from 1 to 4 p.m. for entertainment. Rumor has it the Pixies might do a set.
June 30 is the actual anniversary of the battle and I'm glad to report plans call for a dignified ceremony at Wirt Park, rather than a Center Square re-enactor roust-about that happened a half-century ago, from what I'm told. Then there'll be another big party downtown. I'll be walking the wayside markers, live-tweeting about the battle like I did last year, if anyone wants to tag along after the speechifying is over. Need to get something about that online and in the paper.
Much as I like military history, you might gather I'm not so keen on the whole re-enactor thing. But it would be hard to miss the Hanover cavalry battle at the Sheppard Farm set for July 2. The one I attended five years ago was the best - OK, the only - tactically accurate battle scenario I've ever seen.
But I'm running out of time, even if I don't get a column written this week. I'm sure to forget something - the unveiling of the new P. Buckley Moss Hanover history triptych on June 21, for example, or the presentation on Elijah White's Confederate Raiders on June 25.
So look for more details and a complete schedule in The Evening Sun in the next few days. Online, of course, a lot of that information has been posted all along. The newspaper is helping produce a permanent website for this special anniversary year, with stories, photographs, and memories at hanover150250.com. Check it out and help us write Hanover history.
And maybe I'll find the time to write a column next week.

ALBUQUERQUE Brandon Slate's four-RBI day propelled the Carlsbad Cavemen to an 8-2 victory over the Onate Knights Thursday and into the semifinals of the Class 5A state tournament.
"He just found pitches he could drive and put good swings on them," Carlsbad coach Cody May said. "Getting a run in the first inning took the pressure off Caleb Prentiss."
Slate's two at bats were turned into a single or double and were good for four runs. Slate put the runs on the board while Prentiss kept Onate off it as he pitched five innings with four strike outs, a walk, and al-lowed two hits. Kain Fierro came in to close out the game and allowed two hits and two runs but that wasn't nearly enough for the Knights to stage a comeback.
The Cavemen got on the board early with a 1-0 lead after Slate lifted a fly ball to score Broc Landreth in the first inning.
After a scoreless second inning Carlsbad added another run in the third when Zach Hinojos ripped a tri-ple into right field to score Landreth. The Cavemen stretched their lead to 3-0 when Slate singled to left and scored courtesy runner Allen Coles.
At times Onate looked like it might rattle Prentiss and get some momentum going in both the first and second inning but double plays in both innings by Roman Gonsalez, Jared Rodriguez, and Devin Groves stopped the Knights' scoring threat.
"They were huge. Double plays are a pitcher's best friend," Gonsalez said.
"The defense was just on point all day and everyone came out ready to play," Prentiss said.
The Cavemen's bats went silent again until the fifth inning when they doubled their score to take a 6-0 lead. The first run came via Slate as he hit a double to center field to score both Landreth and Tyler Hyden. Slate scored himself for the sixth run of the inning.
In the sixth inning Carlsbad added another run when Gonsalez scored on an error and Rodriguez scored on a passed ball for a healthy 8-0 advantage going into the final inning.
Onate finally got on the board in the top of the seventh when Tristen Telles batted in Alanzo Parra. But the Knights only got one more run when Julian Herredia doubled to center to score Andrew Serna for the final 8-2 score.
The win sets up a semifinal game against the Rio Ranch Rams, and the Cavemen expect to face Elijah Cappello on the mound. Cappello has a 3.27 ERA but only lasted 3.1 innings when Carlsbad played the Rams in Rio Rancho. The Cavemen however only won 5-4 so it won't be a cakewalk either.
"They are a young team, but they are talented," May said.
Dev'N Ortiz will take the mound for Carlsbad and puts his 2.51 ERA up against a Rams lineup that boasts a .422 batting average.
