Latrobe girls hope style of play results in victories
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The Latrobe girls soccer team won't be kicking it old school this season.
Instead, the Wildcats will employ a ball-possession style commonly referred to as modern soccer. Kicking and chasing has been replaced by a disciplined style meant to maximize each possession and control the flow of the game.
"If you look at the modern style of play, it's one of getting the ball, keeping the ball, keeping the ball in play, and not giving the ball away," Latrobe coach Vincent Pimpinella said. "Possession is the name of the game.
"Traditionally, a lot of high school teams never really implemented true systems of play with a possession mindset. Teams just play getting the ball down the field as fast as possible."
The Wildcats return a host of talent to employ their style of play, among them Class AAA All-Section 1 midfielder Allison LaDuke. The Wildcats finished 10-8 overall and 7-5 in section play last season.
"We're all really excited for this season," LaDuke said. "We're hoping to make the playoffs for the first time in a while.
"We have a lot of returning letter winners, a lot of upperclassman this year. It's definitely helping us with our confidence and playing with each other."
In addition to LaDuke, the Wildcats return nine other starters: defenders Rachael Reed, Ava Petrosky, Claudia Torrillo and Hannah Mears; midfielders Emma Kate Womack, Madison Mueseler and Brooke Baughman; goalkeeper/defender Stephanie Kubus; and forward Rachel Campbell.
While they did not lose much talent, the Wildcats are without last season's leading scorer, Julie Slezak, and all-section goalkeeper Jane Piontkowski.
Pimpinella said those players will be missed, but they can be replaced.
"In my opinion, we will probably score as many goals, but those will be distributed more," he said. "We're getting goals in training sessions from a wide variety of players. Last year, we got goals from a small population of players. The modern system of play creates opportunities for more than strikers."
If Pimpinella's assessment of the section is any indication, he will need all the scoring he can get. He said the team's balanced approach should fare well, but they will have to perform at their best.
"I want to make it clear I absolutely respect all the competition in our section," Pimpinella said. "We by no means feel like we are going to walk over or beat everyone in our section. I'm very optimistic, but extremely respectful of the teams in our section. We're going to have to earn every goal and every win. I don't see any easy wins on our schedule."

She talks to during school,
We seem like best friends no doubt,
But acts as if im the devil when were not,
I cant help thinking that shes not worth my tears,
Not worth my time,
But she only feuls my ongoing sorrow.
She always said she was there for me...
But she took it back.
"She lied"
"She lied"
"She lied"
That's all I see when I look at her....
She lied her way through a 2 year friendship....
I told her my deepest darkest secrets And she promised she would never hurt me....
She lied
She betrayed me
She choose her hatred and revenge stricken mind over me,
Me her best friend who has been through thick and thin with her,
She lied.

7488 S. Broadway, Red Hook; 845-758-8260
A little bar sits at the front of the large dining room while the rest of the room features a variety of seating. It is hard to pass on House-made Charcuterie. You can choose between charcuterie only or a platter that includes cheese. Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad was tossed with tiny sweet currants and roasted salted sunflower seeds with a lemon vinaigrette. Many wines by the glass are available, but be sure to consider a house cocktail. The Jalisco Rose has tequila, house-made grapefruit bitters and fresh grapefruit juice with a splash of chipotle-spiked syrup. Save room for dessert: House-made Malted Ice Cream was much like a malted shake on a warm summer's day.
18 Church St., New Paltz; 845-256-0621
A good assortment of saki, beer and wine was available. The description for Hamachi Kama read: "Salt and pepper broiled yellowtail collar." The jawbone of a large yellowtail fish was prudently seasoned, placed under a broiler and cooked until the protein that was still on the bone was fork-tender and flaking. Sushi and rolls feature standards such as the Rainbow, aka California Roll, and salmon and tuna rolls, as well as sushi and sashimi. Dessert includes fried ice cream or fried bananas.

This restaurant has it all: cool décor, delicious food, affordable prices, indulgent cocktails and friendly service. There are TVs everywhere. The namesake drink, the Centro Mojito, combines citrus rum and an agave blend with club soda, fresh lime and mint.

Kidnap charges against Narandas droppedComment on this story
Durban - Durban businesswoman Rosanne Narandas was all smiles when she left the Durban Magistrate's Court on Thursday after kidnapping charges against her were withdrawn.
Narandas was charged with kidnapping earlier this month after it was alleged she held three men in her garage for four hours against their will and refused to release them even when the police arrived.
At her first court appearance, the prosecutor said the dispute had arisen over a Mercedes A45 AMG that Narandas had bought from a dealership in Newcastle.
The State said Narandas had questioned the men, who worked at the dealership, about the mileage on the car as it was higher than had been advertised.
She wanted a discount or refund.
Prosecutor Blackie Swart did not provide reasons for the withdrawal of the charges but said it was owing to the instructions he had received from the chief prosecutor.
Contacted for comment, Narandas said she was happy the charges had been withdrawn. "I was confident the truth would prevail.
"I never locked the three men in my garage. When the police arrived, they witnessed where the men were standing, and they were certainly not in my garage. They did not even enter my garage," she said.
Narandas said the issue of the car and misrepresentation still existed.
"I have not been contacted by them to refund my money nor to transfer the vehicle to me. It is exactly a month since I paid for the vehicle and I have not even moved it from where they left it," she said.
Narandas said she had handed the matter to her attorney.

Imagine that one day your child is standing at the bus stop, when she suddenly feels like her heart is going to beat out of her chest and feels like she cannot breathe. After a frantic trip to the emergency room, you are told that there is nothing medically wrong with your child. What could possibly be happening? Your child could be among the millions of children who suffer from an anxiety disorder.
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, people with anxiety disorders experience anxiety that is persistent, disabling and seemingly uncontrollable. The individual experiences an irrational fear of everyday situations that impairs daily activities. Anxiety is the number one mental health problem in children. The good news is that it is highly treatable, according to mental health experts. It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of anxiety, understand what is happening to your child when anxiety strikes, and seek effective treatment.
Some common symptoms of anxiety include being easily agitated in stressful situations; being "inconsolable"; asking a lot of "what if" questions; changes in eating and sleeping patterns; avoidance of certain places, situations and activities; frequent headaches, stomachaches or difficulty breathing; rapid heart rate; feelings that the sufferer is about to die; and complaints of being too sick to go to school. The child may also be prone to excessive worrying, perfectionism, being self-critical and being a "people-pleaser."
In stressful and potentially harmful situations, the body is programmed to release stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) in preparation for a "flight or fight" response. This response is very important when a quick reaction is needed. For example, when you nearly get in a car accident, touch a hot surface or encounter an intruder, you need to be able to respond quickly to the threat. The body responds with symptoms such as a rapid heart rate, increased breathing and heightened awareness. This response is quick and automatic.
In children who suffer from anxiety, the "threat" is not real, but the physical reaction is the same. These acute attacks are known as "panic attacks." For example: A student is in front of the class doing a presentation. Suddenly, a "what if" thought crosses his mind.
"What if I throw up, pass out, or everyone starts laughing at me?"
The thoughts cause anxiety, which in turn causes the release of the "fight or flight" hormones. Uncomfortable physical symptoms cause the student to wonder if something is seriously wrong with him, causing the symptoms to become worse.
Children will remember the specific situation or place where a panic attack occurred and avoid going back to the place for fear that the terrifying symptoms will return. The brain "learns" to respond to the fear with these uncomfortable symptoms. This cycle is reinforced when those symptoms reoccur once that child is in the same situation again. The reaction is automatic, so the child cannot simply "turn it off" just because he/she wants to or is asked to do so.
This "learned" response could become "unlearned" with effective treatment. Although medication can help control symptoms of anxiety, therapy is still needed to address the underlying cause of the problem. There are several types of therapies used in the treatment of anxiety disorders. One highly effective therapy is known as cognitive-behavioral therapy. It is an effective therapy that focuses on identifying, understanding and changing thinking patterns and behaviors. Positive results can usually be seen in 12 to 16 weeks.
Helpful information on anxiety can be accessed at worrywisekids.org, adaa.org, The Anxiety-Free Child Program and "Worried Sick: Living with Anxiety" (Nick News with Linda Ellerbee).

Tanguay & Zolak Thursday Recap 10/29
The Phillies took game 1 of the World Series last night at a soggy Yankee Stadium. Gary and Zo are both fed up with the fact that the Fall Classic starts so late now. They should not be playing baseball in November! Pedro Martinez starts game 2 for the Phillies tonight which made Zolak think of how he left Boston and the venom thrown his way after he left. Are you rooting for Pedro tonight? Zo says yes...Tanguay says no.
We listened in to Bill Belichick's bye week press conference from Foxboro. Belichick hinted that he had studied the Dolphins thoroughly and pointed out that they're a different team than they were earlier in the year. Click here to listen to the press conference .
Dan Shaughnessy was our in studio guest from 12-2pm. We began with Dan by welcoming in Jon Heyman, Sports Hub Baseball Insider from Sports Illustrated. Heyman told us how much the Red Sox have offered Jason Bay and gave us an Insider's view of the World Series. You can hear the interview by clicking here .
Former NBA Referee Tim Donaghy has written a book that won't be released and we read some of the excerpts that the NBA doesn't want you to read. Tanguay, Zolak and Shaughnessy gave some great stories from their experiences with referees on the field and in the lockerroom.
Coming Up Friday we take a look at the Patriots at the halfway point and break down some of the matchups that will affect the Pats this weekend. We'll also take a look at Brett Favre's return to Green Bay and look back at Pedro's game 2 start at Yankee Stadium.

Tanguay & Zolak Recap Wednesday 10/28
Today on the show the boys had a bunch of stuff to get to. First up, they broke down the Celtics season opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers and how important the bench was. Marquis Daniels seemed to impress and fans were confident the C's will do well this season.
Also on the show, we had Marc Spears on to talk about the latest on Rajon Rondo and Glen "Big Baby" Davis. Spears spoke with Baby on Tuesday and told us that the forward was adamant that he wasn't drunk during the incident that caused him to break his thumb. On Rondo, Spears had some interesting news that had developed in the past 24 hours. What was that news? You'll want to hear the Podcast!
Another reason to listen to the Spears interview? Comcast Sportsnet's Donny Marshall was listening to the show and called in, talking with Gary and Marc for a three-man breakdown of Rondo, "Baby" and the C's.
The Boston Celtics, however, wasn't the only topic the boys tackled. We had Bruins Defenseman Derek Morris on to talk about the team's recent turnaround. Morris blamed it on a slow start and thought that starting at home might have been detrimental rather than an advantage for the team.
Finally, the topic that really got things boiling was, is the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry alive again? Why do you hate or not hate the Yankees as Red Sox fans? Also, Yankees fans called in and shared their opinion.

Advanced Studies Certificate
You don't have a bachelor's degree but still want to pursue advanced ministry training? The Advanced Studies Certificate (ASC) is designed specifically for you. This non-credit program provides limited and focused theological training for anyone who does not desire graduate credit or who does not meet the prerequisites to receive graduate credit.
While no formal academic credit is earned in the ASC program, students are awarded Learning Units (LUs) to demonstrate progress toward their 18-LU certificate. ASC participants make the same course choices among available tracks as those offered to credit students in the Graduate Studies Certificate program. And if you cannot come to a Western Seminary campus, the entire program is available by distance learning through Western Seminary Online campus.

Microsoft announced last week that they have a new tool to work for P2V desktops. Simply put this tool will allow you to desktop virtualization to maintain legacy applications and still move users to Windows 7.The tool works with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit and/or System Center Configuration Manager plus the Disk2VHD virtual hard disk solution from the Windows Sysinternals Web portal. It can package older Windows desktops into virtual machines that will run on Windows 7 PCs.
IT pros with Microsoft's Software Assurance (SA) licensing in place within their organization can use a new physical-to-virtual migration (P2V migration) tool in beta release. The tool works with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit and/or System Center Configuration Manager plus the Disk2VHD virtual hard disk solution from the Windows Sysinternals Web portal. It can package older Windows desktops into virtual machines that will run on Windows 7 PCs.
Microsoft last Thursday released Version 1.0 beta of the P2V migration tool at its Connect portal. The tool and release notes can be downloaded here (requires WindowsLive ID).
When installed in a supported Linux virtual machine running on Hyper-V, the Linux Integration Components provide. Driver support for synthetic devices: The Linux integration components include support for both the synthetic network controller and synthetic storage controller that have been developed specifically for Hyper-V. These components take advantage of the new high-speed bus, VMBus, which was developed for Hyper-V. Fastpath Boot Support: Boot devices now take advantage of the storage VSC to provide enhanced performance.Timesync: The clock inside the virtual machine will remain synchronized with the clock on the host.Integrated Shutdown: Virtual machines running Linux can be shut down from either Hyper-V Manager or System Center Virtual Machine Manager, using the "Shut Down" command.Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) Support: Supported Linux distributions can use up to 4 virtual processors (VP) per virtual machine. Heartbeat: Allows the host to detect whether the guest is running and responsive.Pluggable Time Source: A pluggable clock source module is included to provide a more accurate time source to the guest.
Supported Operating Systems: Hyper-V Server 2008; Windows Server 2008; Windows Server 2008 R2

With the release of Beta of Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 a number of you have asked about Service Pack 1 for the standalone Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, and whether the new capabilities of Dynamic Memory and RemoteFX will be available for it. Absolutely, both Dynamic Memory and RemoteFX have been developed for Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 as well.
In order to get these capabilities for the Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, you will need to install the Beta of Service Pack 1 on Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2. Note that the first wave of the Service pack installer is only in 5 languages (English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish), so if you try and apply the package to Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 (which has 11 language packs installed by default) you will rightly see the following screen
It's pretty simple to uninstall these language packs to thereafter install the Service pack. In order to uninstall the language packs, there is nifty utility included (lpksetup.exe). Launch this from an administrator's command prompt and select "Uninstall display languages".

1 to 6 of 6
May 19th 2010
From theprp:
"ISIS has reached an end. It's hard to try to say it in any delicate way, and it is a truth that is best spoken plainly. This end isn't something that occurred over night and it hasn't been brought about by a single cataclysmic fracture in the band. Simply put, ISIS has done everything we wanted to do, said everything we wanted to say.
In the interest of preserving the love we have of this band, for each other, for the music made and for all the people who have continually supported us, it is time to bring it to a close. We've seen too many bands push past the point of a dignified death and we all promised one another early on in the life of the band that we would do our best to ensure ISIS would never fall victim to that syndrome.
We've had a much longer run than we ever expected we would and accomplished a great deal more than we ever imagined possible. We never set any specific goals when the band was founded other than to make the music we wanted to hear and to play (and to stay true to that ideal), so everything else that has come along the long and winding path has been an absolute gift.
As with any momentous life-changing decision (which this certainly is for the 5 of us), we feel a very dynamic range of emotions about this and cannot express all of it within the space of a few sentences, and perhaps it's best to do what we've always done in and let our music speak for us. It is and has been the truest expression of who we are as a collective and in some ways who we are as individuals for the 13 years in which we've been together.
The last and perhaps most important thing we might say in relation to all this is how grateful we are for the people that have supported us over the years. It is a lengthy list that would include those who put out our records, those that played on them and put them to tape, the many bands with whom we shared the stage, all of our family, friends and companions who supported us in our individual lives and thus made it possible for us to continue on in the band, and most importantly those who truly listened to our music whether in recorded form or by coming to out to our shows (or both).
It is quite true that we would never have done what we have without those people, that is many of you who are reading this. Our words can never fully express what we feel, but we hope that our music and the efforts made to bring it into being can serve as a more proper expression of gratitude for this life and for everyone in it. Thank you.
In more immediate and practical terms the tour we are about to embark upon is indeed our last. We are hoping that these final live rituals can help us bring a close to the life of this band in a celebratory and reverent way, and also provide us with a chance to say goodbye to many of those that have supported us over the years.
While there is a measure of sadness that comes with the passing of this band, we hope that the final days can be joyous ones during which any and all that wish to come and join us will do so. It seems fitting that the last show of the tour and of our active existence will take place in Montreal, the site of the very first ISIS show in 1997 (though that was an unintentional move when booking the show initially).
After the tour we also plan to follow through with other projects set in motion some time ago – pursuing the completion of a final EP, compiling live audio and visual material for future releases, and generally doing whatever we can to make our music available for as long as there are people who wish to hear it.
Thanks again to any and all,
ISIS, May 18, 2010?
It's a sad day. When their albums 'clicked' in my brain it truly changed the way I listened to music. Live they are formidable. If you have tickets to the final shows, enjoy them.
I am officially in mourning and refuse to listen to anything that doesn't feel like somebody hitting me round the back of the head with a continent.
Celestial, here I come.

Nah, I can live with this. They've said what they've had to say as a band and decided to call it a day. This I can respect.

jesus Jehrot...
I will ALWAYS remember the decision to fuck the last train off and stay and watch as they played an entire song using nothing but pedals...
I was just thinking i hope Jehrot Stylus is wearing his Tee i gave him with pride today, then saw YOU posted the message...
Sad Sad news.
But then, having witnessed them live, with you, in the venue we saw them in, i can rest in the knowledge that they never once for a second gave an inch...
if they call it a day, they must be doing it for a bloody good reason...
i am running a gig this evening in Stratford... I think i must play CARRY and play it loudly...
Damn the man.
PS: Jehrot... Call me, we need to catch up... you sexpest.x

ive seen ISIS, it is pretty epic even if its not my favorite. i actually thought they had broken up once before? or maybe they just took a hiatus?

Huge fan of Isis, also a huge fan of bands quitting before they start making crap albums. So I will cherish the Isis I have.

they were an awesome band, saw them live just about everytime they played london...
but on the plus side, earthtone9 are probably reforming :D

Now that the holiday season is upon us, it's time for area hockey teams to turn their attention to the New Year and the challenges ahead. While many gifts may have already been handed out, here's a short wish list that some local teams may have scripted for the New Year:
Delbarton: The six-time defending Non-Public schools champion is looking for a few more games in the new year. The Green Wave played only three games in December, going 2-0-1, including a come-from-behind 4-4 tie with St. Joseph (Metuchen).

The Sportsman Channel is ordering a second season of Amazing America with Sarah Palin, but the political star has thoughts about another show that might be a good fit for her.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Palin was asked if she'd be interested in doing a political/talk show. Her response was enthusiastic:
"It'd be so much fun to shake it up taking on issues that make audiences objectively consider all sides, and I'd do it with my own real-life groundedness, candor and commonsense that I'm known for. Media needs that today, versus the condescension that oozes from TV and radio."
"I hear everyone recently got canned from The View, maybe a show like that needs a punch of reality and a voice of reason from America's heartland to knock some humble sense into their scripts. You know, someone willing to go rogue."
Wink, wink!

System memory featuresThe board has one DIMM socket and supports the following memory features:
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the determined frequency.
Regardless of the DIMM type used, the memory frequency will either be equal to or less than the processor system bus frequency. For example, if DDR2 667 memory is used the memory will operate at 533 MHz.

"Simply, follow the owl." After starting an odyssey 13 years ago with readers, author J.K. Rowling will embark on another later on this year with POTTERMORE. With the initial frenzy of speculations finally subsided, Rowling made the official announcement about POTTERMORE this morning. With the leverage of some 450 million copies sold in 70 different languages worldwide, Rowling held off the temptation to launch the Harry Potter series in digital or e-book format till now. POTTERMORE will be an immersive site for readers with interactive narration and illustrations. What's more, fans of the series will learn more about the world of Harry Potter as Rowling shares "… additional information I've been hoarding for years…" POTTERMORE will be open for all starting this October, though a fortunate few will be able to access the site before then. See the video below for all the details.
13 years after the first Harry Potter book was published, I'm still astonished and delighted by the response the stories met. Even though the 7th book and the 8th film have now been completed. I'm still receiving hundreds of letters every week, and Harry's fans remain as enthusiastic and inventive as ever. So I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you, because no author could've asked for a more wonderful, diverse and loyal readership. I'm thrilled to say that I am now in a position to give you something unique. An online reading experience unlike any other. It's called Pottermore. It's the same story, with a few crucial additions, the most important one, is you.
Just as the experience of reading requires that the imaginations of the author and reader work together to create the story. So Pottermore will be built, in part, by you, the reader. The digital generation will be able to enjoy a safe, unique online reading experience built around the Harry Pottter books. Pottermore will be the place where fans of any age can share, participate in and rediscover the stories. It will also be the exclusive place to purchase digital audio books, and for the first time, eBooks of the Harry Potter series. I'll be joining in too, because I will be sharing additional information I've been hoarding for years about the world of Harry Potter.
Pottermore is open to everyone from October, but a lucky few can enter early and help shape the experience. Simply, follow the owl. Good luck.

Before sprouting my latest Alpha, or should I say Alfalfa seed; below is a tabular update of the stocks I have recommended since becoming an SA contributor four months ago. With the exception of TGC Industries (NASDAQ:TGE), the original stories driving these stocks are still intact. TGE's short-term business outlook has dimmed, but the company is strong long-term.
Article Date
5/10 Closing Price
% Gain/Loss
$9. 34
Normally, I write about stocks I believe to be undervalued and whose true value has yet to be recognized by the market. Value stories are increasingly difficult to find in this market, so this is a very promising three to five year growth story about a small agricultural seed company in California's Central Valley that I believe will become a huge success.
Founded in 1980, S&W Seed (SANW) is a micro-cap company that breeds, grows, processes and sells alfalfa seeds, to distributors, dealers, farmers, and seed brokers in the western United States, Mexico, South America, Middle East, Africa, and other countries with Mediterranean climates. In addition to its agricultural acreage, it owns and operates a 40-acre seed cleaning and processing facility at its headquarters in Five Points, California. It recently started growing the Stevia plant which is the source of a relatively new, and increasingly popular natural, non-caloric food and beverage sweetener called Truvia.
As of Monday May 13th, SANW closed at $9.52 with a 52 week high of $11.40, and a low of $4.43.
Industry & Company Growth
If you didn't grow up in farm country, chances are the word alfalfa conjures up images of the off-key, cow-licked member of Our Gang, or what you feed to rabbits and guinea pigs, but alfalfa, (a.k.a. Hay) is the fourth most widely grown crop in the U.S., is valued at more than $13 billion a year; and a major source of livestock food. A fringe benefit of alfalfa production is honey from bees used for pollination, and which provide over $200 million dollars per year of added business to alfalfa producers.
Alfalfa demand depends primarily on the number of animals that eat forage, mainly cattle and pigs for meat consumption and cows for the dairy industry. Alfalfa is also consumed by horses, sheep and goats, as well as humans who eat the sprouts in salads, sandwiches and many Asian dishes.
Drought and low-levels of planted alfalfa acreage caused an alfalfa hay shortage in 2011 along with significant price increases. As a result, more farm land is being redirected to alfalfa growth and has increased the demand for SANW seeds. Overall, demand for alfalfa and alfalfa seed is increasing as our economy improves and as other countries' appetite for U.S. meat increases.
SANW also has redirected unused processing capacity at its seed processing plant to other seed producers that don't have their own plants and this has provided an earnings boost. The recent addition of Round-Up Ready alfalfa seeds to its inventory and the purchase of the international distributor of its seeds will increase earnings as well.
With all of that being said, the real catalyst behind the SANW growth story however, is not the increased demand for alfalfa, but what is becoming the explosive demand for Stevia plant whose leaves are used to make the all natural, no-calorie sweetener, Truvia. Truvia is quickly becoming the non-sugar sweetener of choice for major food and beverage manufactures such as Coca Cola and Pepsi, just to name two, and global Stevia demand is on the verge of skyrocketing! Truvia is a sweetener that has been researched thoroughly, and because it is made with all-natural Stevia, has been shown not to have the health concerns associated with artificial sweeteners like Aspartame and Saccharine. America's war on obesity dictates that consumption of sugarless sweeteners such as Truvia will only increase in coming years.
PureCircle is an England-based company and the world's leading producer of high- purity Stevia for the global food and beverage industry. SANW has a five-year contract to provide Stevia leaf to PureCircle and is quickly adding acreage to fulfill its contract obligations. SANW is working exclusively with Dr. Clinton Shock, world renowned expert on Stevia, and he has engineered plants that grow waist high, compared to previous plants that only grow about knee high. These plants are being called "Monster" plants and have twice the leaf mass, and contain much higher concentrations of the active ingredient used to produce Truvia than previous plants.
Valuation Metrics
SANW's projected EPS are $0.10 for its 2013 fiscal year which ends June 30th, $0.26 in 2014, and $0.43 in 2015. At Friday's closing price of $9.48, SANW is trading at 36x 2014 projected EPS, which is well above the 16.3 industry average. Revenue growth for 2012 was up 87.5% over 2011 vs. the 5% industry average, and LTG is expected to exceed 25% per year. Book value is $3.40 per share.
Other Factors & Conclusion
While there are some other players in the U.S. Stevia plant growth market, Stevia Nutra Corporation, (OTCPK:STNT) and Stevia First Corporation, (OTCQB:STVF), both are penny stocks that trade OTC. At present, SANW seems to be far ahead of any serious domestic competition. Mainstream analyst sentiment for SANW is mixed with four firms flashing "Buy" signals and target prices of $14-$15; others are recommending "Hold to Sell" after the big price run-up from the mid $4's.
SANW reported on Monday May, 13th. Read the press release and the SA transcripts of the conference call, and develop your own conclusions. That being said, as with any stock, there is the risk of capital loss, so conduct your own research and speak with your investment advisor about SANW.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in SANW over the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

With diabetes on the rise, health organizations throughout the country encouraged residents to get screened, to maintain a healthful lifestyle and to wear blue on World Diabetes Day, which was Wednesday.
In El Paso, the Binational Diabetes Committee hosted Go Blue on the Border, a community-focused campaign that promoted awareness and offered glucose and cholesterol screenings at Bassett Place, 6101 Gateway West.
Health representatives from University Medical Center, Project Vida and the El Paso Diabetes Association provided shoppers information about the disease. Zumba and samba lessons and yoga sessions were also provided.
Elba Castillo said she and her sister were shopping when they saw the health screening booth by Project Vida.
"I've been diagnosed for a few years now," Castillo said "But I went three to four years after I was diagnosed without feeling any of the symptoms. I think that everyone who is 20 and above needs to get checked annually because diabetes is preventable."
Since her diagnosis, Castillo said, she exercises, maintains a healthful diet and monitors her glucose and cholesterol levels.
Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not make enough insulin, a hormone that enables cells to take glucose from the blood and use it for energy, or when the body can't use the insulin it produces effectively, according to the International Diabetes Federation.
It causes raised glucose levels and can damage the body and cause organs to fail.
According to the International Diabetes Federation, 1 in 10 adults in the United States has diabetes.
In El Paso County, about 85,000 residents have diabetes, and thousands more cases are still undiagnosed, said Dr. Jose Luna of the Centro San Vicente Health Center. "In fact, one in four patients that walk into the clinic are diagnosed with diabetes," he said.
In addition, there are several types of diabetes including Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Type 1 diabetes tends to be genetic and the body can't make insulin. People diagnosed with Type 1 must take insulin every day to stay alive.
Type 2 diabetes, which is the most prevalent type diagnosed in El Paso, can be caused by poor diet and lack of exercise.
Gestational diabetes occurs when a woman has high blood glucose levels during pregnancy. and it usually disappears during or after the pregnancy. However, the women and their children have an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.
In El Paso, all three types of diabetes are on the rise, said Henry Brutus, CEO of the El Paso Diabetes Association.
"And we don't know why," he said. "We don't have enough information."
The disease can lead to other complications, Luna said.
About 70 percent of people who have diabetes are going to have problems with their heart. And the patients who don't take care of themselves are also two to four times as likely to die of cardiac problems, and two times as likely to have a stroke.
"Diabetes is the number one cause of kidney failure," Luna said. "So if you want to go into dialysis, then don't attend to yourself because diabetes does not forgive."
There are ways to prevent and control Type 2 diabetes by living a healthful lifestyle.
"Once you are diagnosed, you will always be diabetic," Brutus said. "However, if you practice and change your life style, start eating healthy and portion your food and exercise on a regular basis, your blood glucose levels will stabilize and in some cases you may not need medication."

Week Eight: Leg Extensions and Curls
This week's exercise is another superset of exercises -- leg extensions for the quads and leg curls for the hamstrings. Two basic exercises, but both are essential for building thigh strength and power.
Leg Extensions and Curls:
These machines are staples in every health club gym. Make sure you adjust the machines for your height and leg length. Ask a floor trainer to assist you if you are not familiar with your gym's equipment. This is important. If the machine is not set to your personal alignment, using it could be hazardous to your knees.
Work up to 8-12 reps with both exercises, making sure you hit your max at 12. If not, increase the weight. You are working for muscular strength and power here. Work up to 3 sets for each exercise.

Why do Grand Lodge officers wear the color purple? The color purple is most commonly associated with royalty, but this is not the case with Freemasonry as the color purple has a much more significant meaning in regard to the Craft. Purple is an emblem of union, being produced by the combination of blue and scarlet. The color is worn by Grand Lodge officers as a constant reminder that they have been entrusted to cultivate amongst the brethren, such a spirit of union as may cement them into one complete and harmonious society. (Source: Masonry Defined, by E.R. Johnson, Kissinger Publishing)
What is the origin of the expression "Blue Lodges?" There are several theories, of which two have the most adherents. Some believe that operative Masons felt that blue, the color of the sky both by day and by night, was associated in their minds with purity of Deity, which Masons attempted to emulate. Others refer to the change made by speculative Masons, shortly after the establishment of the Grand Lodge of England, substituted blue for white as the official Masonic color presumably because it was the color of the Order of the Garter of which a number of Masonic leaders were members. (Source: Masonic Questions & Answers, compiled by the Office of Masonic Education, Grand Lodge of PA, 1999)
Why are we called "Freemasons?" The name definitely dates back to the days when Masonry was almost wholly operative in character. Numerous explanations have been suggested, such as: Masons worked in free stone (which could be carved easily), and hence were called "free-stone masons," later shortened to "freemasons;" they were free men, not serfs; they were free to move from place to place as they might desire; they were given the freedom of the towns and localities in which they might work; and they were free of the rules and regulations that were usually imposed upon members of guilds. (Source: Masonic Questions & Answers, compiled by the Office of Masonic Education, Grand Lodge of PA, 1999)

OWENSBORO, Ky. (AP) -- A pin oak tree is being planted at the Western Kentucky Botanical Garden in memory of Elvis Presley on the 35th anniversary of his death.
The tree was donated by Nancy Brown, who told the Messenger-Inquirer that she picked up a handful of acorns on one of her many visits to Graceland. She gave them to a volunteer at the botanical garden, who helped six to sprout.
One of the seedlings, which is about 18 inches tall, will be planted Thursday and join other trees at the garden named after famous people, including a Casey Jones willow oak and a Sir Isaac Newton apple tree.
Volunteer gardener Barbara Russ, who will help plant the tree, says she'll wear her Elvis skirt and scarf for the occasion.

mostly because right after the exam was over, i decided to take my car through the cones again by myself and i did it perfectly...just like every other time that i have done it.
pitty party for me, woot.
[Edited by dstates, 3/27/2009 9:12:09 PM]
Just a written test and a school course. The hardest part was the signs section, if you miss a single sign, you fail the test. That being said it was still really easy.
And i have my drivers license today!
Also, my test was ****ing easy.
IIRC, it was all multiple choice, and then a quick road test. Drove down the road, pulled into a parking lot and I had to back into a parking spot. Even though I didn't get into the spot the first time, I still passed.

DeLuca-Hoffman Associates, Inc. will present a proposal for a new public works garage for Town of Buxton, located on Portland Road; Tax map 9, Lot 10.
William Hoffman introduced the six items submitted for review beginning with the geo-tech engineer's information for the high ground water in the bottom of the dry detention/infiltration pond. The Results showing the high ground water being 2 to 4 feet below the existing grade. The storm water management study was updated to indicate that the water would leave through bottom infiltration, making the pond effective in stormwater management. Additional information has been submitted on the fuel containment area equipment, tanks used and method of containment. The tanks are double walled and monitored for leakage. They set inside a concrete tank with a shed roof above to minimize the direct rainwater and snow from entering the tank. A rectangle shaped tank is proposed to prevent the tank from cracking in the event of a freeze. A copy of the letters from the Maine Historic Preservation from a previous application has been submitted. A corrected abutters list has been submitted. The original plan had a sloping floor toward the garage door entrances; in the corrected plan the floor slopes toward trench drains that lead to an alarmed holding tank. The Selectmen have requested a separate entrance to the facility off Portland Road, MDOT curb cut permit has been issued.
Questions from the Board:
asked the Selectmen to address the reason for having the separate entrance. Selectman Cliff Emery informed the Board of the reasons of not to co-mingling the residential vehicles with the truck traffic.
is concerned with having space for future additions to the municipal building and suggests building the highway garage behind the salt shed. Have the Selectmen considered other areas on the lot? Cliff said there is a wet area in that direction and not enough space for the facility between the salt shed and the property line. Cliff added that there is plenty of space for future additions to the municipal building. The proposed area made the most sense.
is concerned with the second curb cut and the amount of starting and stopping traffic in front of residential buildings. Mr. Hoffman is requesting approval for the new entrance on to Portland Road.
, who works for the Highway Dept. said he has not had any encounters with cars when he is driving one of the Town's trucks. Keith asked if the new Public Works Director has been asked his opinion. Dan Collomy asked whether the Board would accept the project on the proposed property.
would like to walk the property in the daylight.
Cliff addressed the headlight issue as being very minimal over a year's time. There were approximately 18 snowstorms last year, not all were nighttime storms. Cliff said trucks already travel on Portland Road now; the truck noise will not change. Sue said that accelerated vehicles make less noise than a diesel truck starting out. Another concern is with the trucks pulling onto the road with vehicle traffic going 50 mph.
Cliff stated the cost to put the entrance in is no more than the cost to rebuild the existing road to connect to the proposed garage. Cliff asked what each Board member has against the entryway.
felt the existing road could be improved rather than creating an isolated entrance. With speeds of 50 mph is would be disruptive to traffic having two entrances for truck traffic.
Cullen questioned cutting a 32-foot gash into the wooded area when the Board has been trying to preserve the rural character of the town.
agreed with Cullen and would like to avoid any unnecessary curb cuts and chopping up the wooded buffer. She also felt that the site lines are better at the top of the rise where the existing entrance is located.
felt that a single entrance would be easier to mark with safety lights if needed, rather than two entrances.
Keith still has
concerns with the additional curb cut and lights shining into the houses across the street. It doesn't make any sense having a truck pull out of proposed entrance and turn into the municipal entrance. The Board intends to use a separate council since the Selectmen are using the Towns attorney. At this time the Board does not have information about the fuel storage tank being over a sand and gravel aquifer.
Sue asked how the amount of proposed pavement around the building was determined. Mr. Hoffman stated that during the Selectman's review it was determined by operational use. Mr. Hoffman said a stream runs through the area behind the salt shed and there would not be enough setback distance to locate the garage there. He will bring the aerial maps to the site walk.
questioned the sump area versus the fuel storage tank reservoir. Mr. Hoffman informed the Board that in the event of a fuel tank failure because the tank is double lined, the fuel would collect in the second tank and set off an alarm. If both tanks broke the sump area is large enough to hold twice the volume of the fuel tank. The fuel tank is located on the paved pad to allow easy access for plowing.
Sue requested to see numbers explaining the amount of paved area surrounding the proposed garage. Cliff Emery explained that the large area is for turning the trucks with trailers around and for an equipment storage area. The existing garage will still be used for storage.
asked if they have an alternative plan in the event the Board finds the proposed area is not suitable for a fuel storage tank. They will address that issue when it comes. It is proposed at this location to minimize the cost of re-fueling.
Dennis Sweatt a member of the building review committee discussed some of the concerns brought up at the meeting. The sight distance, over 900 feet in both directions, is more than the requirement. He doesn't feel that lights shining in the windows is an issue, if a residential house was build on this parcel the lights would shine 365 days a year. The size of the pavement is for maneuvering trucks, employee parking and storage of plows, etc…
The Board received a letter from Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) requesting that when reviewing applications to consider common driveways where possible to minimize the number of curb cuts.
had submitted a letter for the June 27th meeting voicing his concerns. Reviewing plan C4 Fred asked that they show the traffic pattern for trucks and employees on the plan for the following: parking areas, storage of plows and refueling. He also indicated that the fuel storage area is to close to the well. An eight (8) foot high fence is very expensive and not needed. Fred suggested motion detectors or installing on an if needed basis.
Sue moved to schedule a site walk for Thursday, September 1
at 5:30 pm for the proposed town garage site. Seconded by Cullen, the motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote.
EastPointe Christian Church is applying for a Conditional Use Permit to allow office and classroom space for a Ministry Center. The property is located at 502 Portland Road; Tax Map 9, Lot 18A & 18A-1.
Scott Taube, representing EastPointe Christian Church said from the last meeting they were asked to submit a wetlands delineation report.
Questions from the Board:
The Board is looking for an updated plan for the parking area.
stated that as long as they are parking in front of the building he would not approve the conditional use permit. The intersection is very dangerous and even more so if vehicles cannot see to pull out. Not aware of the process, Mr. Taube will submit a new plan. The Board recommended contacting MDOT for a curb cut location.
recommended a 25-foot buffer of green space between the proposed parking lot and the wetland area.
David Durrell & Timothy Flynn of Saco Bay Millwork Co. Inc. are proposing a
millwork/cabinet manufacturing business. Located at lot #2 of the Tory Hill
Business Park; Tax Map 10, Lot 16A-2.
David Durrell informs the Board that the business is currently located in Gorham and they have outgrown their building.
Questions from the Board:
Sue asked the number of employees. Mr. Durrell stated they currently have 17 employees and hope to expand to 24. Dennis asked how the emission is monitored and controlled. The company does not fall under federal mandates. There are two kinds of emissions produced daily. 1. Sawdust is collected inside the building and stored in sealed plastic bags in a storage area. It is currently sold to a local dairy farm. 2. Spray emissions from paint are not used at all times. There will be a filtered vented fan that directs the fumes outside. Dennis asked that the Fire Chief be notified of the different solvents used. Hours of operation will be 7am to 3:30pm with the potential for overtime. Keith asked if the parking area would be paved. Mr. Durrell does not intend to pave the parking lot.
Sue moved to schedule a site walk for Tuesday, September 6th at 6 pm. Seconded by Cullen, the motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote.
CEO Report:
Approval of Minutes
Cullen motioned to approve the minutes of August 8, 2005.

Piers Morgan has officially left CNN. The former talk show host announced the news himself via Twitter today.
Although his future at CNN had been a question for months, Morgan, whose talk show, Piers Morgan Live, aired its last new episode back in March after being being cancelled in February, had originally expressed interest in remaining with the news network.
"I'd like to do work –- interviews with big celebrities and powerful people — that is better suited to what I do well and fit with what [CNN president] Jeff [Zucker] is trying to do with the network," Morgan told The New York Times earlier this year.
However, it turns out that Morgan's interest in staying was not strong enough. According to his tweets, he reportedly turned down a two-year deal from Zucker to host dozens of interview specials.
Despite no longer working for CNN, Morgan, who concluded his final show by begging the United States to impose stricter gun laws, insists that he will continue to support new legislation for gun control and go after the NRA.
Check out Piers Morgan's tweets below.
BREAKING NEWS: I am no longer a @CNN employee.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 2, 2014
I was offered a new 2-year deal by @CNN boss Jeff Zucker to host 40 big interview 'specials'.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 2, 2014
But after considerable thought, I decided not to accept it – and to try pastures new.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 2, 2014
I had a fantastic time in my 4 years @CNN and have huge respect for Jeff & all the people who work there. Great company, great network.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 2, 2014
I wouldn't crack the champagne open too quickly though, @NRA – I haven't finished with you lot yet.

Troy, IL. ( KSDK ) -- A woman is dead and two others hospitalized after a head-on crash Saturday afternoon in Troy, Illinois.
The Madison County Sheriff's Department says a car going north in the 300 block of Troy-O'Fallon Road somehow drifted into the southbound lanes. That southbound car carried two people. All three people involved were rushed to Oliver C. Anderson Hospital in Maryville. The driver of the northbound car died later.
Eyewitness Tyler York tells NewsChannel 5, the sound of the impact could be heard a quarter-mile away.
The Madison County coroner joined the sheriff's department in the investigation into the cause of the collision.
