CUTHBERT -- It started on the playground courts of Randolph County with naked, rim-worn baskets sitting on beatup backboards.
It was Destiny against the world back then, the only girl on the court, going one-on-one in a game she wasn't supposed to be playing. It just didn't matter to Destiny Mitchell then, and doesn't now.
Whether she was 10 years old and facing an all-boys team back then, or facing her future now, Mitchell's the same. You put a basketball in her hand, and she believes she can do anything.
"I don't believe she knows how good she is,'' Randolph-Clay girls basketball coach Jennifer Acree said. "It's scary to think how good she can be. The sky's the limit, the solar system is the limit for Destiny.''
The first step is to leave Cuthbert and head for East Tennessee State, which somehow won the lottery when Mitchell decided to spend her next four years playing for the Lady Buccaneers. She was courted by a long list of schools, including Rutgers and St. John's, but in the end chose East Tennessee State over St. John's because she felt more comfortable there, and because the school offered her a chance to go into physical therapy.
"It came down to St. John's and East Tennessee State, and at St. John's they weren't sure if the physical therapy program would be open, so I decided to go to East Tennessee State,'' said Mitchell, who made it official Friday, signing a letter-of-intent.
"When I visited I really just fell in love with the school, the campus -- it's beautiful,'' she said. "And I liked the teammates I met there. I'm ready to be a Lady Buc.''
It's difficult to imagine Mitchell not dominating the game at the next level the way she dominated it in high school, where she averaged almost 30 points a game (29.7) and flew up and down the court like a guard while rebounding like Dennis Rodman.
She literally did it all, scoring at will with drives and 3's and stop-and-go jumpers, and often would block a shot or make a steal at one end of the court then drive and hit a spinning jumper. She averaged 29.7 points, 14 rebounds, six steals and four blocks a game.
"East Tennessee State got a steal,'' Acree said. "She's definitely a top Division I talent. She could play at the top level anywhere. She can do anything she wants to do. I'm looking forward to seeing her take over the game at East Tennessee State.''
It all started when Mitchell started playing basketball against the boys in elementary school. She wasn't just a competitor, she was better than the boys.
"I would beat them one-on-one and they would get mad and say, 'Lets
play again,' '' Mitchell said. "What could I say? I just said, 'Let's play again, and I'll beat you again.' "
They started talking about her future as early as middle school.
"People starting saying I was going to be great,'' Mitchell said. "I knew I was tough, but I didn't think I would be this good. I just feel when I am on the court that no one can stop me. I'm unstoppable.''
And now there's a new challenge.
"It's a big jump, but if I put my mind to it and work hard and stay determined, I can still be unstoppable in college,'' she said.
Mitchell was The Herald's co-Player of the Year along with Bainbridge's Alexis Burke, and she was not only named to the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Class A All-State team, but Mitchell was the Class A player of the year in Georgia.
She has a million memories of playing at Randolph-Clay, which was a state power every year she played, but there's one night that will always stay with Mitchell.
"What I remember the most is the night I scored 53 points,'' she said. "Wasn't that amazing? I just couldn't miss that night.
"And I will remember all my teammates, especially Asha Alexander because we played together for four years,'' she added. "I'll miss my coaches. They are so amazing. They're the best. They pushed me to work harder and to strive to be the best. If they didn't push me I wouldn't be where I am today.''
Acree came to Randolph-Clay three years ago not knowing what to expect.
"When I came to Randolph-Clay I didn't know who Destiny Mitchell was,'' Acree said. "Then I saw her play in our first game at summer camps and thought, 'Wow, who is this girl? She can play.' And my eyes have gotten big with every move she has made since.''
Acree was at the center of the program Friday at Randolph-Clay, where the signing took place on stage at the school's theater with music, a slide show, a video presentation and speakers who talked about Mitchell.
Acree vowed to do everything she could do to retire the No. 41 worn by Mitchell, who is clearly in a class by herself. Not only does she have the school record 53-point game against Bainbridge, a Class AAAA state power, but she finished her career with 2,350 points and more than 1,500 rebounds.
She simply made it look too easy every time she stepped on the court.
"She does make it look easy,'' Acree said. "She is not cocky at all. She will make a great move, and just turn and look over to me and crack a smile.''
She's taking that smile to the next level, and perhaps beyond.
"Of course, after college I would want to play in the WNBA, or at least overseas,'' Mitchell said. "I'm ready to leave Georgia and go to the next level. I'm really ready.''

Billing FAQs
When you come to the hospital there are certain personal items and information that can make your stay more comfortable and provide your caregivers with important information they need to tailor your care to meet your needs.
Items to bring to the hospital:
Items to be sent home or locked in our safe:
Valuables such as money, jewelry, credit cards and bankcards.
We will ask that any valuables brought to Peace Harbor Hospital be placed in our safe or taken home by a family member. Valuables may be withdrawn from the safe at the time of your discharge. We cannot be responsible for money, jewelry, credit cards or other valuables left in your room.
At Peace Harbor Medical Center our medical staff and employees are dedicated to providing care while preserving your dignity, privacy and respect. You are encouraged to actively participate in decisions regarding your care. The best way to start is by asking your doctor for information regarding:
Your care and condition in terms you can understand.
"Informed Consent" before the start of any procedure. Except in emergencies this information usually includes a description of the procedure, risks involved, how long you may be incapacitated and reasonable medical alternatives.
Medications you are taking.
Your continuing health requirements after you leave the hospital.
If you need to transfer (or transferring) to another facility, your physician will explain both the need and the alternatives available to you.
In addition to the doctor primarily responsible for your care you should ask for the names and relationships of all doctors who may be involved in your care. You may consult with another physician upon your request.
You may choose to refuse treatment and will be informed of the medical consequences of your refusal.
Infections can occur after many types of medical procedures. This is particularly true if you are having surgery. Following these 10 simple steps to prevent infections may help reduce your risk of complications.
Medication errors can be very serious and lead to complications or worse. The good news is that patients and family members can help prevent medication errors. Here are some important things you should know. Monitor…your medications by keeping a complete list. Always take this list each time you see a health care provider. New lists can be downloaded and printed at M.A.P. Your Medications. Ask…your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist to review (with you) their record and your list to make sure they match. Also, make sure you understand why you are taking every medication. Change the information on your list each time you start or stop taking a medication. Throw away medications you no longer take. Prevent…medication errors by adhering to this checklist:
Pain is both a medical symptom and a medical problem. Too much pain can slow healing. Pain is also very individual. If you are in pain, tell your nurse and be prepared to describe its location, sensation (dull, piercing), duration (when it started) and intensity on a scale of 1 to 10. Your caregivers want to treat your pain quickly and effectively.
People who care about you may call the hospital asking about your status. To protect your privacy, it is our policy to not share any medical information over the phone. However, if callers ask if you are a patient here, we would tell them that you are unless you tell your nurse that you want "Do Not Announce" (DNA) status. This means our staff will not tell any visitors or callers, including immediate family, that you are here. You will not receive any mail or flowers.
When you enter the hospital you will be assigned a room based on availability on the day of your admission and your diagnosis. All rooms are private and furnished with an adjustable bed, television and telephone. Each room has a private bathroom and closet for your clothes. For your safety, please observe these guidelines:
We serve three scheduled meals daily from the hospital kitchen. Pleasenotify nursing staff of any special diet requirements you may have.
Your first meal may be preselected for you, but a menu to select today'slunch and dinner and tomorrow's breakfast will come with your breakfasttray, and is also available at each nursing station. Your doctor may orderdiet restrictions, resulting in changes to your meal selections. Dietitiansare available to discuss:
Visitors can purchase meals in the hospital cafeteria during posted meal times. Meals may be eaten in the cafeteria or taken back to the patient room if desired. Trays are provided to assist in carrying meals to the patient rooms. Please keep in mind when using the cafeteria that hospital personnel have limited lunch periods and need to return to work.

There are vending machines provided in the cafeteria for use outside of posted meal times.
In keeping with PeaceHealth's mission, core values and commitment to the delivery of quality health care, Peace Harbor Hospital recognizes, protects and promotes the following rights for each patient to include, as appropriate, the patient's legally authorized representative. If you have questions about these rights and responsibilities please talk to our staff members or a department manager.
As a Peace Harbor Medical Center patient, you have the right to:
As a Peace Harbor Medical Center patient it is your responsibility to:
Many people have strong feelings about how and what kind of medical care they want at the end of life. Few people actually share those feelings with family members or medical professionals. Death is often difficult to talk about and though you may have expressed your wishes in conversation, your family may have difficulty knowing what is really expected of them. Advanced Directives—sometimes called Living Wills—are legal documents that allow you to retain control over what kind of care and how much care you will receive should you become terminally ill or unable to communicate your wishes. Peace Harbor Medical Center is required by law to provide advance directive documents to patients upon admission to the hospital. However, hospital admission may not be the best time to make these kinds of decisions unless death is imminent. We encourage patients to talk with their family members, medical professionals or spiritual advisor before deciding what is right for them.
PeaceHealth in Florence is tobacco free. Tobacco in any form is not allowed anywhere on the property at any time by patients, employees, physicians or visitors. A patient must have a written doctor's order for an exception.
Fragrances in any form including soaps, body lotions and sprays are not allowed as their adverse effects may trigger migraine headaches and other sensitivities in patients and health care workers alike. We appreciate your understanding and compliance about this often overlooked but important issue.
These are hospital-based doctors whose only job is to take care of hospitalized patients. They are specially-trained physicians who provide an extension of services beyond your regular doctor.
Registered Nurses (RNs) are available for your care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Other nursing staff include Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs).
Other medical professionals who may attend to your needs include laboratory technicians, imaging technicians, dietitians, therapists, pharmacists, and behavioral health specialists.
Volunteers support patient care and provide information to families and guests. They can be identified by their blue colored uniform and hospital ID badge.
The staff at PeaceHealth in Florence is dedicated to the delivery of quality health care and patient satisfaction. When you think we have fallen short of this goal, we need to hear about your concerns. One way that we try to increase patient satisfaction is by having our Charge Nurses ask you if there are any problems or concerns with your care when they make the rounds on each shift. This procedure often helps identify problems in the early stages and solve them before they get out of control. However, please don't wait to be asked before you voice your concerns. Let your nurse know if there are problems that need to be taken care of at any time. If your concern is about patient safety, please notify your nurse immediately. If there is no satisfactory resolution the Vice-President of In-Patient Services will be notified and the patient grievance process will be initiated. If you choose, you may lodge a grievance directly with The Department of Human Services at 800 NE Oregon St., Mail Room 21, Suite 640, Portland, OR 97232, Phone (503) 731-4013, whether or not you have used the hospital grievance process.

While amazing advances in medical technology make it possible for us to live longer and healthier lives, these same advances can often present new choices and sometimes, difficult decisions. Difficult decisions may involve the use of artificial life-sustaining procedures, the right to accept or refuse life-sustaining treatment, making decisions for patients who lack decision-making ability and other related issues.
The Bioethics Committee, a team of health care professionals, is available to patients, families and their caregivers when help is needed to work through difficult treatment decisions. If you need assistance please contact your physician, nurse or other health care team member to request a consultation with a Bioethics Committee member.

If anything is missing as you prepare to leave, please check with your nurse. If you already know that something has been lost, please call Environmental Services at (541) 997-8412.
Home Health provides licensed nursing and therapy services for people who cannot otherwise get the care support they need at home. Skilled home health services require an order from your physician. Hospital staff can advise you of the agencies proving skilled home care services in your area. Medicare and most insurance plans will cover all or part of the cost if your care qualifies.
Hospice is a special program of compassionate care and support offered to patients and families as they face end-of-life issues. Interdisciplinary services (including the services of Registered Nurses, medical social worker care managers, a chaplain and volunteers) may be provided in the home or in other living facilities. Hospice care is a covered benefit under Medicare and most private insurance plans. A physician's order is required.
Making early arrangements for in-home care will ensure continuous care and may help you get home sooner.
Charitable contributions play an important role in the growth of PeaceHealth in Florence. Donations made in the past have helped build the hospital as well as furnish it with essential technology to maintain top quality medical care.
The Peace Harbor Medical Center Foundation has been established to receive and manage various types of gifts to the hospital. Gifts to the Foundation are tax deductible. If you would like to learn more about various opportunities for giving to our Foundation, call us at (541) 997-1470.

An organization of residents, public officials and business owners have hired BMD Design to help Red Lion re-imagine the facades of 15 businesses along Main Street in the borough.
The Windsor Township-based graphic design firm has created visual representations of the buildings with recommendations for paint colors, window treatments and entryway considerations.
The public may view the renderings from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the borough's office at 11 E. Broadway in Red Lion
The borough is offering a no-interest façade improvement loan program to help pay for the project.
"We hope to inspire local businesses to improve our community's appearance by enhancing the visual look of their store fronts," said Garby Snell, chair of the Red Lion Redevelopment Commission.

Clearly, if I want my software to attract enough eyeballs I ought to brand it. Unless of course there isn't any competition.
I'd like to understand your thoughts on how to go about branding your software.
Clearly, if I want my software to attract enough eyeballs I ought to brand it. Unless of course there isn't any competition.
I'd like to understand your thoughts on how to go about branding your software.
Let's talk for a minute about a brand.
Brands give you two things, if your company does things correctly:
For instance, some of us are more likely to buy a (insert brand here) laptop because we associate the brand with quality or perhaps excellent service. The whole reason that trade mark exists is to protect the name that consumers identify with positive (or, for the unfortunate) negative attributes of what a company has historically produced. The operative word in that sentence is historically , and you can't get that, well, without history.
The only thing you can do in the short term to build your brand is to not fall on your face. The only thing you can do in the long term to build your brand is to continue to try and not fall on your face.
Examples of falling on your face are:
Those are things you can prevent. Also, try as hard as you can to avoid scandals where key people are concerned. When it comes to your trade mark, negative press is not good press.
I think your concern at the moment should be strategic marketing, after ensuring that you have the capacity and ability to deliver what you promise in a way that pleases your customers.
You can't build a brand overnight, unless you are a recording artist that fades into history the next year.
I think branding is more about product recognition opposed to "attracting enough eyeballs". I would consider the later flair or packaging. Branding is essentially creating an identity for a product or a company. I think it sill important to have a recognizable identity even if there is currently no competition.
At the most basically level, it is pretty easy, pick a logo. However, your brand is like new born child, no one has any idea how they are going to turn out. The most important part of branding is building positive physiological affects that customers can connect to the brand/logo itself. For example, "brand X is always so reliable" or "man brand x really hit the mark on that one".
As you can see it's not so cut and dry.
I disagree with your basic premise.
If you want your software to attract enough eyeballs you need to make it useful and you need to promote it. As an example, have a look at a product i have created, called Medi-Hook
Without any promotion, you would not have known that this product existed. Branding is irrelevant at this stage.

Stuff each pocket with a slice of garlic and a few leaves of rosemary, or scatter with thyme. Put in a roasting tin, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then cover with foil.
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, rinse under the cold tap and pile into a large ovenproof dish or roasting tin. Toss with the onions, remaining slices of garlic and a good scattering of herbs.
- Heat the stock and butter together, then pour over the potatoes. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven with the lamb for 1 hr. Uncover, put the lamb on top of the potatoes and roast uncovered for 45 mins more. Allow the lamb to rest before carving, for about 15 mins. Leave the potatoes in the oven (covered, if starting to brown too much) until ready to serve.

Comments, questions and tips
Oh wow, this is fantastic! I made this a few days back and it turned out amazing!! I used a smaller lamb cut and fewer ingredients as I was cooking for 4 people, so my cooking time was reduced significantly. The meat turned out pink and juicy and the potatoes full of flavour! Used the juice from the roasting tray to make a gravy by adding flour and wine. Just an amazing roast!
Made this last night - it was my first time cooking a Sunday Roast and it turned out delicious!
My piece of lamb was smaller so I reduced the cooking times slightly. The meat was slightly pink - just how we like it.
The potatoes were so yummy.
It was all so easy.
I feel sorry for my colleagues today as it was v garlicy but I love garlic so dont mind :)
To make my gravy I used the juices from the meat roasting tray, some red wine, some stock and cornflour.
Not scared of Sunday Roasts anymore :)
Excellent simple recipe. I normally think boulangere potatoes are a bit dull and usually we always have roast potatoes with something like this, but I felt like experimenting and I'm really glad I did. Had to fiddle about with the cooking times since my lamb was smaller than this, but it was all very good-tempered and nothing came to any harm. Lovely, lovely flavours and melting potatoes.
Nice recipe! Might actually be a tasty and yummy dish. But it is important not
to use teflon pans.
Teflon contains a chemical called per-flouro-octanoid-acid also known as PFOA,
which can cause cancer.
If you over heat teflon coated pans, to 260 degrees Celsius, you get the risk of
releasing that chemical...and this is a risk not worth taking.
So although teflon coated pans are easier to use, they imply high risks on our
health...so it is advised that they be used properly.
The alternative to these pans is using copper pans, as they conduct heat quickly.

Mary Altafer / AP (Paul Ryan votes)
You know how the overall voter turnout for this week's presidential election was disappointingly down so much over 2008? It's been all over online sites since Tuesday.
Well, wait one.
The friendly folks over at Public Opinion Strategies have crunched the numbers and come up with an interesting different view.
It shows while this year's total may be down, it's down nowhere near what all the democracy fretters are wringing their hands over. And they may end up actually quite close.
According to a short study POS has just distributed to clients, most of the nation's political world is looking at 2012 voter turnout slightly skewed, not comparing apples to oranges necessarily but comparing, say, Fuji apples to Gala apples.
While it's true, "turn-out as a percent of Citizens of Voting Age population will be down this cycle," POS partner William McInturff wrote, "there's still a chance the total vote cast will be as large or slightly larger than in 2008."
And, in fact, his calculator found voter turnout in those now infamous nine swing states is actually up, as in increased over 2008. See, all those Obama attack ads were actually aimed at enhancing voter turnout.
To the extent there was a national voter decline, nearly half of it apparently came from three key, so-called Sandy states -- New Jersey, New York and Connecticut -- where post-storm routines and services have yet to return to normal.
Here are the stats:
The Associated Press is reporting that about 119.7 million Americans voted on Tuesday. Amazingly, fully half of that huge national vote total -- or about 60 million votes -- came from precincts within Barack Obama's hometown of Chicago. No, just kidding. Even with all the active dead Democrats there, that's too many for the Windy City.
In 2008, 132.3 million Americans voted, breaking all existing vote total records. No doubt boosted by excited voters attracted to the polls by the first Republican presidential ticket ever to have a female.
But here's the little-noticed fact that POS notes: Of that final 132 million total in 2008, 9.5 million votes -- or about 4.51% -- were actually counted more than two days after the election. So, many outlets this month are comparing 2012's preliminary numbers to 2008's final numbers. Skewing turnout down.
If you apply the same 4.51% post-election 2008 ballots counted to the preliminary 2012 numbers, you get an additional 9.9 million ballots yet to be counted. These include absentee, early and provisional ballots.

|Transperitoneal fluid dynamics in rabbit liver.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2228874 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The peritoneal cavity of 18 anesthetized spontaneously breathing supine rabbits was opened through a midline section. One or two hollow capsules (surface area 0.8 cm2) were glued to the exposed liver surface, filled with whole or 25% diluted plasma, and connected to a transducer and a graduated pipette. Various hydraulic pressures (Pcap) were set in the capsule; at each Pcap the liquid flow per unit surface area (V/S) between the Disse's interstitial space and the capsule was measured from the rate of liquid displacement in the pipette. The slope of the V/S vs. Pcap linear regression was utilized to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the Glissonian-peritoneal membrane and averaged 5.1 x 10(-3) +/- 4.7 x 10(-3) (SD) ml.h-1.cmH2O-1.cm-2 (n = 25). Hydraulic pressure in the Disse's space (Pd) was measured by closing the capsule against the transducer disconnected from the pipette. At portal and hepatic venous pressures of 7.6 +/- 2.9 and 2.6 +/- 1 cmH2O, respectively, Pd was 2.05 +/- 2 cmH2O. Physiologically, Starling pressure gradients cause fluid transfer from the sinusoids to the Disse's space; transperitoneal fluid filtration only occurs through the liver surface that faces the diaphragm, which corresponds to one-fifth of the total hepatic surface.

Sweezy takes hold of starting job
CURTIS CRABTREE,Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Two years ago, J.R. Sweezy was playing defensive tackle at North Carolina State. Now, he's a starting offensive guard for the Seattle Seahawks.
It's quite a transition for a player to make once he reaches the professional level but Sweezy has acclimated entering his second season playing the position and earned the trust of the Seahawks coaching staff.
Sweezy had been battling with John Moffitt for the starting job at right guard. Through two preseason games, the Seahawks had seen enough from Sweezy to declare him the winner of the competition.

Is a good idea to use ationadapter for a jbutton in oreder to performed an action, or is another simple and shorter way?
thanks in advance for any help

This sort of question comes up all the time.
Beware of Adapters. Apart from the fact they have peciluar spelling, you have to be very careful with the method names. One capital letter out of place, and you end up with a Listener whihc doesn't do anything.
I am assuming that you have got all our import statements in place already.
My rule of thumb, is that what you do for Listeners depends on how many Listeners you want.
Do you want a Listener which actually applies to the GUI itself? For example, one which shows the position of the mouse on screen, or follows the mouse. Then make the appropriate Component implement an interface, eg MouseMotionListener, and use addMouseMotionListener(this).
Have you got several Components which will implement the same, or similar, Listeners. In which case you will want a class for that Listener.
Have you got one Component whihc does one action, which is substantially different from everything else? In that case you put the Listener directly inside the Component as the anonymous inner class.
Adapters: An Adapter is an abstract class, and there is an Adapter class which corresponds to every Listener interface with TWO OR MORE methods. So there isn't an ActionAdapter, because the ActionListener interface only has one method. But you can always make your own ActionAdapter if you so wish.
Example one: You have a DisplayPanel called panel, and you want to display the mouse position on a
on the DisplayPanel. If you don't use a
, you get the DisplayPanel to implement the MouseMotionListener interface, which has two methods.
. . . public class DisplayPanel extends JPanel implements MouseMotionListener { private JTextField textDisplay; public DisplayPanel() { textDisplay = new JTextField(15); add(textDisplay); . . . addMouseMotionListener(this); }// end contructor public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) { textDisplay.setText("x: " + e.getX() + " y: " + e.getY()): }// end mouse moved method public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {/* Empty method */ } }// end class
As an alternative to addMouseMotionListener(this), you can have
. . . addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter() { [mouseMoved method as above] } );
. . . addMouseMotionListener(new MousePositionListener()); . . . class MousePositionListener extends MouseMotionAdapter { public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) [Same method body as above.] }
If you use an Adapter, you only override the methods you want to, and leave the other methods blank.
If you have several Components you want to add Listeners to which are the same or similar, you are probably better off writing a class to implement their methods. Look at this example where you want to change colours with different JButtons:-
... redButton.addActionListener(new ColorListener(Color.RED)); greenButton.addActionListener(new ColorListener(Color.GREEN)); etc ... class ColorListener implements ActionListener { private Color thisColor; public ColorListener(Color colorChosen) { thisColor = colorChosen; } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { somethingOrOther.setColor(thisColor); } }// end class
You can have your ColorListener class as a private class within the body of the class with the GUI in, or as an ordinary class outside it. You can have the same with a MouseMotionListener or MouseListener or whatever, but those two Listeners have 2 and 5 methods respectively whihc have to be implemented. Remember you can leave some method bodies empty.
Or you can have a class which extends one of the Adapter classes, in which case you don't need to override all its methods.
The 3rd and I think most elegant method to set an ACtionListener is to set it as an anonymous inner class. You use this where you have one Listener which does something substantially different from all other Listeners. So you might have an exitButton, which closes the app altogether, and no other closing method.
The way I do it is to go into Eclipse, set up half the method, and wait for the IDE to give me an error message
. But the way you ought to do it is in stages like this:
1: The method call
2: Put your cursor in the () and push enter twice.
exitButton.addActionListener( );
3: put the name of the Listener, and new and () in the gap:
exitButton.addActionListener( new ActionListener() );
4: Convert that code to to class body with {} and new lines:
exitButton.addActionListener( new ActionListener() { } );
5: Put the method signature in the class body:
exitButton.addActionListener( new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { } } );
This is the first stage at which the compiler will let it compile, even though it will do absolutely nothing with that empty method.
6: Final stage: Fill in the methdo body.
exitButton.addActionListener( new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { System.exit(0); } } );
Just count my spelling errors.
If whatever you are putting into the actionPerformed() method takes more than about two lines, you would do better to move it into another method and call it there.
I hope that is of use and hasn't confused you. There should be lots about Listeners in the
tutorial, and it should tell you whihc sort of component takes whihc sort of Listener.

Johnathan Sails of Detroit, right, appears before Judge Carl Gerds in Eastpointe's 38th District Court on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014. / Eric Lawrence/Detroit Free Press
A not guilty plea was entered this morning for a 24-year-old teacher charged in the drowning death of an East Detroit High School student last year and bail was set as a $25,000 personal bond. .
Johnathan Sails of Detroit appeared before Judge Carl Gerds in Eastpointes 38th District Court for his arraignment on a charge of involuntary manslaughter. As a condition of his bond, Sails cannot teach any class in which he is not certified.
Authorities say Sails misrepresented his certification and was in the bleachers rather than at poolside when 14-year-old KeAir Swift was struggling in the East Detroit High School pool last year. Swift later died.
Sails, who was a physical education substitute teacher, is charged with involuntary manslaughter, which carries a possible 15-year prison sentence if convicted.
Eastpointe Police Detective Matt Merlo told Gerds that Sails laughed when students initially told him KeAir was in trouble, and then when he realized what was happening, Sails went to the locker room to change his clothes rather than immediately try to help.
Merlo noted that Sails has been cooperative and has no criminal history.
Sails attorney Robert Leonetti of Mt. Clemens, noted that Sails has a masters degree and is not a danger to society.
Hes not going to be somebody whos not going to show up for court, said Leonetti, who declined comment after the hearing.
A preliminary examination was scheduled for March 19.
KeAir, who lived in Detroit, was taking part in a three-week beginner swim class.?
Sails is an employee of an outside contractor Professional Educational Services Group (PESG) which has provided substitute teachers for the district and many other area school districts over the past several years.
East Detroit Public Schools Superintendent Joanne Lelekatch told the Free Press on Tuesday that Sails, who once also served as a track coach, has not been working in the district since the incident Nov. 8. She did not know how long he had been with the district.
Kristi Flietstra, general counsel of PESG, declined to comment on Sails employment.

Stuart kicks his tail, Ashby had some issues and was not as smart or qualified as Stuart.
But what if Ashby had survived even with his "issues" and had also been at Gettysburg helping out Stuart or helping out Lee while Stuart was on his side exploit? Lee needed "eyes and ears" and maybe Ashby could have provided them while Stuart captured a lengthy wagon train, etc.
Ashby might have been of assistance at the East Cavalry Field as well.
But these things are so speculative because they do assume that ALL other things would have been exactly as they were except for the one thing we are discussing. I mean if Ashby had survived but every single other thing had remained exactly as it was in history both on the Union and the Confederate sides. It is kind of a "Twilight Zone" exercise, but alternative history can be fun too.

John Rittenhouse is proud of human services impact
January 5, 2010
During a single City Council term, John Rittenhouse advanced watershed legislation to reshape city elections and establish a human services campus in Issaquah.
The former councilman led the effort to cap city campaign contributions at $500 for cash and in-kind donations from a single party — a measure the council overwhelmingly approved in May.
Rittenhouse led the push to open a proposed human services campus, a clearinghouse where needy people can receive food, healthcare and employment. The council OK'd the first steps toward a campus — location scouting and business planning — in a unanimous vote last month.
Before Rittenhouse left the council last week, colleagues praised him as affable and effective. Read more

NEW — 6 a.m. Jan. 3, 2010
The next City Council members — newcomers Tola Marts and Mark Mullet — will take the oath of office and join the seven-member panel Monday night.
Municipal Judge N. Scott Stewart will swear in Marts and Mullet, as well as Councilwoman Maureen McCarry, Councilwoman Eileen Barber and Mayor Ava Frisinger. The terms end Dec. 31, 2013.
The ceremony will open the 7:30 p.m. council meeting at City Hall South, 135 E. Sunset Way.
City budget: Bus service, maintenance to be delayed

Issaquah City Jail will add a corrections officer, but parks and road improvements will be scaled back in the 2010 budget headed to the City Council next week.
The plan reflects difficult decisions as the council sought to balance savings and services amid the recession. City residents will notice changes large — fewer traffic signal upgrades — and small — only two city newsletters will be mailed next year.
Mayor Ava Frisinger proposed a leaner budget for next year for a city with fewer employees and capital projects planned. After several tweaks, the City Council plans to adopt the $99 million budget Dec. 21.

Election elevates younger members to City Council
November 17, 2009
The makeup of the City Council will undergo a demographic shift when the next council meets for the first time in early January: Members will be younger, newer to Issaquah and include more parents of school-aged and young children.
The addition of newcomers Tola Marts and Mark Mullet will lower the average age of council members by about a decade, from 50something to early 40s. For the first time in several years, the council will include two members under 40: Mullet, 37, and incumbent Councilman Joshua Schaer, 31. Marts, 40, will succeed longtime Councilman David Kappler, a man two decades his senior.

Tola Marts, Maureen McCarry lead in City Council races
November 3, 2009
NEW — 9:50 p.m. Nov. 3, 2009
City Council candidates Tola Marts and Maureen McCarry led by wide margins as Election Day wrapped.
King County Elections released unofficial returns at 8:15 p.m. Tuesday. The next update from the elections office will be 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. Additional ballots could still shift results in the contested races.
The elections office predicted 56 percent of King County voters would cast ballots. Officials sent 16,428 ballots to Issaquah voters; 5,818 ballots— or 35 percent — had been returned to the elections office and tallied by Tuesday night. The election marks the first city contest since King County switched to all-mail voting.
Newcomer Marts led opponent Nathan Perea by 726 votes — 60 percent to 39 percent — while incumbent McCarry bested challenger Joan Probala by 1,353 votes — 69 percent to 31 percent.
"The candidates who talked about specific, concrete issues" reached voters, Marts said after the elections office released unofficial returns.
Candidates fill coffers despite down economy
November 3, 2009
With phone calls, e-mail blasts and old-fashioned glad-handing, Issaquah city and schools candidates tapped a wide network of donors for cash to keep campaigns cruising ahead.
Despite a tough economy and the number of unopposed races on the city ballot, candidates had outpaced the amount spent on city races in 2007. During the last election cycle — when nine candidates appeared on the ballot in the August primary and seven candidates went on to the general election — challengers raised $32,505. Contrast the total with 2009, when no primary election was needed and eight candidates pulled in more than $58,000 by the last week in October, according to filings with the state Public Disclosure Commission.
Despite the economic downturn, most candidates said the recession had not limited donors' ability to give.
"The economy has put a ding in a lot of races," City Council candidate Joan Probala said.
But Probala, who faced incumbent Maureen McCarry, said she had no trouble fundraising. Probala said she was pleased with the amount raised by her campaign: $17,752 by the end of October.
McCarry had raised more by the end of October — $11,509 — than the $10,230 she mustered four years ago, when she was locked in a tight race with Bill Conley. But the City Council incumbent said asking for money had become difficult amid the recession.
"There are higher priorities in people's lives right now, and I respect that," McCarry said.
Candidate Nathan Perea tapped into a broad group of donors because he "reached out to so many families and close friends," he said. He had raised $8,273 by the end of last month.
Perea squared off against another newcomer, Tola Marts, for the Position 7 council seat. Marts said he employed a similar strategy to rake in $5,461 by the end of October, according to campaign filings.
"I have a really strong set of supporters," Marts said.
Dash for cash
City candidates also worked to secure more donations to reach big numbers, due to a new campaign finance rule — the first limit to campaign contributions in Issaquah history.
With the start of campaign season two weeks away, the City Council voted in mid-May to limit Issaquah campaign contributions. The cap limits donations to $500 from a single party and includes both cash and in-kind donations in the total. Enforcement fell to city Code Compliance Officer Michele Forkner.
She said no complaints have been filed under the new ordinance. But several donors skirted the cap by giving to candidates already in the race before June 1, when the limit went into effect.
Mayor Ava Frisinger, who will be re-elected unopposed, netted $7,795 in cash and in-kind donations. Most of the contributions to the Frisinger campaign poured in before the filing period closed in June without a candidate challenging the mayor.
Unopposed City Council candidates, incumbent Eileen Barber and newcomer Mark Mullet, also pulled in donations. Barber pulled in $1,998 before the candidate-filing period ended. Mullet has raised $5,445, according to campaign filings.
Probala, who entered the race in late February, pulled in $1,000 from the Seattle King County Association of Realtors before the contribution limit went into effect.
Probala, a real estate agent, also received contributions from a political action committee, the Realtors Quality of Life PAC, a real estate organization based in Olympia. Her campaign drew $5,936 worth of independent support last month from organizations. The contributions were used for campaign mailers and newspaper ads, according to campaign filings.
Outside spending from the Affordable Housing Council was used to support Perea and Probala. The organization — the political arm of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties — spent $1,600 each on the Perea and Probala campaigns to call voters.
City candidates each hosted a few receptions to raise money, and made pitches for campaign dollars through the Web. Candidates shelled out for big-ticket items, such as hundreds of yard signs, Web site design services and campaign mailers.
Probala, who raised more than any other city candidate, also spent the most: $14,191. Her campaign spent $1,731.23 for mailers, $1,138.20 for yard signs and $954 for newspaper advertising.
McCarry directed $7,241 to her re-election bid. She spent $2,727 for newspaper ads, $4,621.15 for campaign mailers and $1,215 for her campaign Web site.
Perea dropped $7,654 in the Position 7 contest. He outspent opponent Marts, who funneled $3,684 to his campaign.
Perea splurged on $1,095 for campaign signs, $1,000 for campaign consulting and Web site design, and $877.10 to print campaign materials.
Marts spent a total of $1,078.61 for campaign mailers and another $683.28 for yard signs. The largest single expense for the Marts campaign was $715 for a newspaper ad.
Mini-campaigns, big bills
Marnie Maraldo and Wright Noel, vying for the school board Director District No. 2 seat, opted for a different tactic: the so-called mini-campaign, a pact to limit fundraising and spending to $5,000.
The total includes loans from a candidate to his or her campaign. Contributions from a single donor cannot exceed $500. If a candidate breaks the mini-campaign rules, he or she must file a weekly disclosure report with the PDC. Maraldo and Noel did not break the $5,000 limit.
The schools candidates said the format allowed them more time to focus on issues.
"I've spent most of my time talking about the issues, rather than going out and trying to get money from people," Noel said. "So, it has been nice, in that sense, since I haven't had to be concerned about raising a lot of money."
Maraldo said she and her husband, Tony, loaned the campaign about $2,500 at the beginning. Since she started fundraising during the summer, about $2,200 has flowed to the campaign, she said.
Maraldo estimated half of the donations were made through her campaign Web site. The other half, she said, was made through mailed contributions.
Major donors to the Maraldo campaign included local unions, education advocate Leigh Stokes and state Rep. Marcie Maxwell, a Renton Democrat who represents Newcastle, where Maraldo lives. The largest donations were about $200 each, Maraldo said.
Maraldo said most of money, $1,773.90, went toward campaign signs. Maraldo also had a campaign manager for a short stint, a $750 expense.
The campaign had about $1,500 less than two weeks before Election Day, and Maraldo said she would likely be able to reimburse about $1,000 of her loan to her campaign.
Noel said he has raised $1,455 in outside contributions for his campaign, using the same formula as Maraldo. He loaned the campaign about $1,000 to launch the effort. About half of the donations he collected were funneled through his Web site, and the other half was sent via mail.
"Even $10 is a huge statement of their support," Noel said. "Does it make a difference? Yes. I wouldn't have been able to get the signs out."
Noel had spent $1,274 with less than two weeks until the election, with campaign signs as the largest expense. The campaign also paid for materials to make stress balls — flour and balloons with Noel's name on them — and campaign buttons, and ingredients to bake homemade cookies.
After Noel reimburses the original loan, the campaign account will have a balance of about $200, Noel said.
Noel said the largest contribution to his campaign was about $200. Most of the donations, however, were between $10 and $50, he said.
"There has been a lot of little donations, which has been hugely appreciated," he said.
Despite a tough economy and a new $500 cap in city races, City Council candidates raised impressive amounts in the sprint toward Election Day. Here are some of the top donors in Issaquah races:
City Council, Position 5
Maureen McCarry
Connie Marsh: $500
Chris Hysom: $500
Washington Conservation Voters: $450
Joan Probala
Seattle King County Association of Realtors: $1,000
Bill Conley: $501
Eastside Business Alliance: $500
Donations above the $500 limit were made before the cap went into effect June 1.
City Council, Position 7
Nathan Perea
Eastside Business Alliance: $500
Rowley Properties: $500
Washington Association of Realtors: $500
Tola Marts
Councilman John Rittenhouse: $350
Council President Maureen McCarry: $250
41st District Democrats: $250
School Board, Director District No. 2
Marnie Maraldo and Wright Noel opted to use so-called mini-campaigns, which limit the total raised and spent on a campaign to $5,000. Candidates who chose mini-campaigns do not have to file a weekly report with the Public Disclosure Commission.

Candidates tout endorsements as Election Day nears
October 27, 2009
Issaquah city and schools candidates rolled out long lists of endorsements — from elected officials, community leaders, business groups and political parties — during the push for votes.
Endorsements provide fodder for campaign ads and reassure voters with questions about candidates. The nods can also provide clues to party affiliations of candidates in the nonpartisan City Council and school board races.

LAS CRUCES — Doña Ana County commissioners on Tuesday rejected a proposal to tweak the county's ban on aerial fireworks and firecrackers.
The commission voted 4-1 against revising the ordinance to allow year-round fireworks vendors located near interstate highway exit ramps to sell the devices to non-county residents.
The measure was sought by Bowlin Old West Trading Post off Interstate 10 west of Las Cruces, which has been limited to selling more low-key fireworks ever since Doña Ana County passed what's called the "safe and sane" ban in 2007.
The travel center near Las Cruces has lost more than $300,000 per year in sales since the prohibition took effect, said Kit Johnson, Bowlin employee. He noted that the proposed revision would have kept intact the ban against using aerial fireworks and firecrackers in the county.
Johnson, too, said plenty of other counties allow the sale of the devices in the state.
"The only difference between this business and our other seven businesses throughout New Mexico is our ability to sell a full menu of fireworks," he said.
Four commissioners opposed the measure, including Wayne Hancock.
"I heard from a number of constituents that they felt it was inconsistent to allow one business and potentially other businesses to go against the progress that had been made with safe and sane" rule, he said, explaining his vote.
County Commission Chairwoman Karen Perez voted in favor of the measure.
The provision, had it passed, would have expired in two years, unless reinstated by commissioners. It also would have required would-be buyers to show an ID with a non-county address in order to purchase the otherwise banned fireworks.
Prior to the vote, several residents expressed approval and opposition for the proposal.
Another fireworks vendor, Jimmy Nevarez, who's with Diablo Fireworks in Anthony, N.M., spoke on behalf of Johnson. Nevarez said Bowlin travel center would have been obligated to check IDs and comply with the ordinance to make sure the revision would been extended again in two years.
Town of Mesilla Fire Chief Kevin Hoban urged county commissioners to consider the possible impacts on emergency personnel, if the ordinance was relaxed, in responding to complaints.
"The burden rests on fire departments," he said,

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?

How did you end up at Guantanamo Bay?
After a year, I wrote a very powerful letter that I was told would reach the highest levels of U.S. government. I said that I hadn't seen the sun or moon for a year, that I witnessed two deaths, and had no knowledge of acts of terror or had ever been a member of a terror group. I was told by seemingly sympathetic people that I was going to Guantanamo because I had been cooperative, so I was actually looking forward to it. When they put me on the plane, I was given earmuffs, blacked-out goggles and a hood thrown over my head for good measure, and my hands and feet were shackled. The journey was so excruciatingly painful that I pleaded for a sedative and one guard obliged. So I woke up in Guantanamo dazed and disoriented. I only remember being frog-marched from place to place in shackles and they put me in an isolation room, an eight-by-six-foot cell—a box, a cage. It was my home for the next two years.
What happened to that letter you wrote?
A couple of days after I arrived, the same two guys who interrogated me in Bagram and threatened to send me to Egypt with the woman's screams turned up again. They told the guards to leave and produced a confession and said, "Sign this and you can see a lawyer. If not, there will be no trial. You are already convicted and gas chambers have already been built, and that's where you'll be going." It was a frightening and ludicrous moment. The confession looked like the ramblings of a college dropout, not a terrorist. It was a six-page confession, a mixture of truths and falsehoods. I told them I had been to a Kashmiri training camp in 1993, but they took this and said it was an Al Qaeda camp. This camp was supported by the Pakistani government to fight against the Indian occupation of Kashmir. It had nothing to do with Al Qaeda, but they said that the money I donated to this organization went to support the 9/11 hijackers. I thought no court would ever believe it, so I signed it.
I'm guessing they never let you meet with a lawyer.
They continuously told me it would be next week, tomorrow, in a few hours. I speak English and they didn't need to translate reams of paperwork and I had already signed a confession. But they had no charges against me. That's what they were probably grappling with. When the Supreme Court ruled in favor of detainees having the right to habeas corpus, they knew they had to let lawyers in to help write the petitions. The British government agreed with Bush's idea of having military tribunals, but as time went on, there was a huge outrage and the idea that you could have a fair trial at Guantanamo was rejected by everybody. That's what opened the door to me being returned to England—the only solution other than just remaining there forever.
Bush agreed to release you over the objections of the FBI, Pentagon and CIA.
That's what I've read. But Bush invaded Afghanistan and Iraq on the advice of the CIA and FBI, and against their advice he releases me? It sounds like a special favor to Tony Blair, but I don't think it's as clear-cut as that. The fact is, nobody could charge me with anything to justify what they did to me. President Bush says that I, along with the other detainees, are the worst of the worst, and now I'm free, walking the streets of London. And now I'm working with an organization called Caged Prisoners, which highlights the cases of all the detainees in Guantanamo.
What should American people know about your experience right now, as Bush tries to convince us to allow torture of detainees there and elsewhere around the world?
Back in Bagram, a week before they threatened to send me to Egypt, there was another man held there who they did send to Egypt and he was tortured to the point of saying he helped Al Qaeda give weapons of mass destruction to Saddam Hussein. I could have been that person. If they sent me to Egypt, I could have been the person to admit to being a high-ranking Al Qaeda person helping Saddam get WMDs. That confession was used as an excuse to invade Iraq. That invasion has put Americans in more danger than at any time in their history, at least any American who travels outside their country is in more danger now than ever before.
Have you ever been to America?
No. I've never been to America. America came to me.

Reading about Christine O'Donnell's inability to get her 30-minute television ad on the air, The Scrapbook was reminded of one of the great political tricks of the television era. Its victim, the late Malcolm Forbes, told the story on himself in his "Fact and Comment" column in 1984:
'Twas 27 years ago that, as Republican candidate for New JerseyGovernor,I was nosed out in a landslide by incumbent Democrat Bob Meyner. There was a reminder in the mail the other day that at least a tiny percentage of blame for the debacle was not my own, but was attributable to the smart thinking of Bob Meyner's campaign director, Robert Burkhardt. At the time, Burkhardt was -- as was the custom then in New Jersey -- Secretary of State inGovernorMeyner's cabinet.
For a campaign climax, we had earmarked funds for a half-hour rebuttal on the only New Jersey TV station, which was to follow the Meyner campaign's telethon spectacular. But, for the last five minutes of their time, it was Burkhardt's inspired thought to play repeatedly the nationalanthemwith a waving American flag on the screen. This, of course, was the way TV stations then indicated that their day was completed and they were going off the air.
Recalling the episode, Mr. Burkhardt writes, "I hope you have forgiven me by now."
Bob, forgive?! Rather, a belated thank you for your wee contribution to that defeat.
Had we been successful then, I might have ended up in a subsequent Republican national administration -- and perhaps have been among those who went from there to the clink.

Hays, Kan Men:
January 30, 2014-For the third time in the last four meetings Emporia State and Ft. Hays State went to overtime as the #24 Tigers escaped with a 99-92 victory. Kaleb Wright had his fourth 30 point game, finishing with an even 30 to lead three Hornets with at least 20 points.
Neither team led by more than five points in the first half as there were six ties and eight lead changes. A 6-0 run, the last four coming from Terrence Moore, gave the Hornets a 29-25 lead with 4:28 left in the half. That would be the margin at the break as Emporia State took a 37-33 lead into the locker room.
The Hornets would build a ten point lead at 54-44 with 12:51 left in regulation on a free throw from McWisdom Badejo. A Craig Nicholson three-pointer for the Tigers tied the score at 62 with 6:36 left. Paul Bunch hit a pair of free throws with 2:39 remaining to give Emporia State a four point lead only to see Nicholson score the next five points to put Ft. Hays State back on top 69-68 with 1:50 left. Wright drained a three from the corner with :18.0 left to put the Hornets up 71-69. Nicholson tied it with 11.4 seconds left on drive but missed the free throw. Wright missed a deep three at the buzzer to send the game to the first overtime.
The teams bounced back and forth through the first extra frame with Wright giving the Hornets an 81-79 lead with 1:05 left. Dwayne Brunson converted two free throws with 46.0 seconds left as the teams headed to a second overtime tied at 81.
An old fashioned three point play by Bunch gave Emporia State a 91-89 lead with 1:52 left. The Tigers went up two possessions on a three-pointer from Achoki Moikobu and an old fashioned three point play by Nicholson for a 95-91 lead with 49.8 seconds left. Micah Swank hit one of two free throws with 35.6 left to pull the Hornets within three points but the Tigers hit four of four free throws in the final 30.7 seconds to secure teh win.
Wright had eight rebounds and three assists to lead four Hornets in double figures. Bunch had a double double with 22 points and ten rebounds while Terrence Moore added 20 points and Tyler Jordan chipped in ten points.
The Hornets will travel to Neb.-Kearney on Saturday for their next game. Tip-off against the Lopers in Kearney, Neb. is set for 4:00 p.m.
January 30, 2014-The #3 Lady Hornets and Ft. Hays State each made 25 of 71 shots from the field but Emporia State could not overcome a 19-6 deficit at the free throw line in a 72-57 loss in Hays on Thursday. The Tigers outrebounded the Lady Hornets 59-42 and enjoyed a 25-7 advantage on second chance points.
Emporia State led 4-2 before Ft. Hays State took the lead for good with a 9-0 run. The Lady Hornets would cut a 13 point lead down to five at 26-21 with 2:38 left in the half. FHSU then closed the half on an 8-2 run to take a 34-23 lead to the locker rooms.
A 15-6 run to start the second half gave Ft. Hays State a 20 point lead at 49-29 with 15:53 left in the game. The Lady Hornets would not get closer than 15 points the rest of the night.
Merissa Quick had 13 points, eight rebounds and two blocks for the Lady Hornets. Desiree Wylie and Amber Vandiver both added ten points off the bench.
The Lady Hornets are right back in action on Saturday afternoon at Neb.-Kearney. Tip-off against the Lopers is set for 2:00 p.m. in Kearney, Neb.
It was the first win for the Tigers over the Lady Hornets since Dec. 8, 2002, a string of 15 straight games.

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Apr 13, 2011
At times, the pain can seem overwhelming.
But with only a month left in her college career, Jackie Hilea has one last run to the NCAA tournament left in her.
The Furman (S.C.) senior has been named to the all-Southern Conference team every year she's golfed for the Paladins, who have been to the postseason 19 straight times.
However, back pain, which began to hamper her play last February, has made the final year and a half of her career anything but easy.
Hilea, who graduated from Moanalua in 2006, stayed in South Carolina to have back surgery last summer, which kept her out for most of the fall season.
She played in one tournament in the fall, the one hosted by Furman, and is gutting out the spring season despite pain that continues to plague her.
"I just got a cortisone shot a couple of weeks ago so I'm just trying to hold it together until the season is over," Hilea said. "My doctors have told me that the next step if I wanted surgery again would be a fuse or just to put rods in it, and if I did that, I wouldn't be able to play at all."
Hilea was big into gymnastics growing up in Hawaii before eventually taking up golf at Moanalua, where she won an OIA championship and placed ninth in the state tournament.
Still relatively new to the game, instead of taking scholarship opportunities to colleges where she might not play, Hilea decided to spend a year at the International Junior Golf Academy in Hilton Head, S.C.
"That's kind of where I gained more of a confidence to win, because I won three of the IJGA tournaments I played in and that helped with my momentum going into college," Hilea said.
She eventually made contact with the coach at Furman, resulting in Hilea enrolling at the small school in South Carolina.
It was somewhat challenging at first, but Hilea has grown to enjoy her surroundings there.
"At first I felt landlocked and felt like I couldn't stand this, but after a while, I got used to it because my teammates were so nice to be around," Hilea said. "The school is so small that it's hard not to know everybody, which is something I like."
Hilea has maintained a stoke average between 76.1 and 77.2 since her freshman season. She had four top-20 finishes in 2008, three top-15 marks as a sophomore and posted two top-10 finishes as a junior last year.
Her most memorable tournament came as a junior at the Cougar Classic in Charleston, S.C., when she made her first hole-in-one.
"I'd say that's my favorite course because that's where I got my first hole-and-one," she said. "I've been fortunate here to be able to play a lot of great tournaments and a lot of great courses."
The Paladins will compete in the Southern Conference Championship on April 17-19 as they try to qualify for their 20th straight NCAA tournament appearance.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has approved today the registrations of two further trade repositories (TRs) under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR). The following entities have been registered as TRs for the European Union (EU):
- ICE Trade Vault Europe Ltd. (ICE TVEL), based in the United Kingdom; and
- CME Trade Repository Ltd. (CME TR), based in the United Kingdom.
Trade reporting to start mid-February
TRs are commercial firms that centrally collect and maintain the records of derivatives contracts reported to them. The registration of these two TRs means that they can be used by the counterparties to a derivative transaction to fulfil their trade reporting obligations under EMIR. The registrations will take effect on 5 December 2013.
Following the registration of a first group of TRs on 7 November 2013, which became effective on 14 November 2013, the reporting obligation start date for all asset classes will begin on 12 February 2014.
Including today's registrations, there are now six TRs registered in the EU, which can be used for trade reporting. ESMA registered DDRL, Regis-TR, UnaVista and KDPW on 7 November and it has not received any further application for registration.
Press Release
The list of registered TRs is available here.

Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora -- characters and seiyuus, w/pics
This show is just getting better. I'm not sure what it is -- the outlandish story, the good voice-acting, the erotic atmosphere -- but the show has exceeded my expectations. So I wanted to be clear who the voice actors were.
And there are some pretty interesting people involved. For instance, Tarlotte is played by Mochizuki Hisayo, the same VA who played Taruto in Magical Mew Mew Taruto (based on another manga by Kaishaku). Tanaka Atsuko, who plays Mika, was in Ghost in the Shell and Evangelion. Ogata Megumi, who plays Valticia, was Sailor Uranus, as well as (adult) UFO Princess Valkyrie (also a Kaishaku manga). And, of course, Kaon and Himiko are played by Kawasumi Ayako and Shitaya Noriko, who played Chikane and Himeko in Kannazuki no Miko. I've linked the names to pages with fuller info about each seiyuu and their roles.

I love this show because it's pretty horrible but in an extremely hilarious, entertaining way. Normally I don't like laughing at anything (instead of laughing with it), but KyouSora is somehow so good-natured about its own wtf-ery (yet apparently still taking itself very seriously) that I don't feel embarrassed by laughing at it. (And then there's Kazuya who just made me love it even more - I mean, it's Suou Tamaki as an evil overlord who descends from heavens to the tune of 'Rule Britannia'. Brilliant.)
Plus, I love the background music, it has some very nice melodies.

Nice comments, kuromitsu. I don't think it's horrible, and I don't laugh at it myself, but I think you're capturing something of what's special about this show: it's "so good-natured about its own wtf-ery." It is so extreme, always skating on the edge of being ridiculous, but giving me, at least, a chance to take it seriously, too. And "Rule, Britannia" was a great touch. That was a real wtf moment, lol. Good music in general, as you say.

Andrea Chilkiewicz: Aida and Radames. They died together and they found one another again, after so many lifetimes. It's cheesy, yes, but I adore that last moment on stage when you see the man and woman draw closer to one another in front of the tomb and you just know it will end happily for them.
A Broadway musical version of the classic Giuseppe Verdi opera, Aida opened in 2000 and won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score, and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. This Walt Disney Theatrical production originally starred Heather Headley and Adam Pascal as the doomed lovers.

WILD RICE, N.D. (AP) — Residents opposed to a proposed Red River diversion project that would flood areas south of Fargo, North Dakota, in times of high water say they're worried about the impact on cemeteries in the area.
The 36-mile diversion would move water from the north-flowing Red River around Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minnesota, which battled major flooding for three straight years starting with a record crest in 2009.
A holding pond that would be used in times of serious flooding threatens half a dozen cemeteries. Measures proposed to spare the cemeteries, including moving graves or building dikes around the sites, aren't sitting well with family members.
Red River Diversion Authority chairman Darrell Vanyo says he realizes the negative impacts from the diversion, but says many other cemeteries would benefit from the project.
