OSCEOLA, Wis. - Authorities have identified the teenager who died Sunday in an accident during a snowmobile training class.
Sarah Thorsland, age 13, was critically injured when aretrofitted snowmobile she was riding crashed into a loading dock Saturday afternoon. She died of those injuries on Sunday.Authorities say Sarah suffered head and spinal injuries even though she was wearing a helmet.
Thorsland is described as a popular 8th grader who attended the Osceola Public Schools. Grief counselors are on scene at the middle school to help children who are struggling with her unexpected death.
Osceola Public Schools Superintendent Mark Luebker issued a press release Monday afternoon. It reads:
The Osceola School District and community suffered a tragic loss October 27, when Sarah Thorsland, an Osceola Middle School student, passed away. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Osceola School District and community go out to the family.
She was a wonderful young lady who loved to dance. Her smile could light up a room. She will be greatly missed by the entire Osceola School District, especially her close friends and teachers.
The Osceola Middle School staff will provide grief counselors at the school to help students, family and friends deal with their thoughts and feelings associated with the loss.
The teen was among dozens taking the snowmobile class, which has been put on for years by the Polk County Trail Association. Witnesses say Thorsland was navigating cones in a slow-speed maneuvering course when the snowmobile accelerated suddenly.
"She had negotiated part of the course and then had an acceleration issue where the snowmobile got going faster than it was supposed to,"said Village of Osceola Police Chief Tim Lauridsen. "It went off the course and then it impacted an area by a loading dock."
Lauridsen says the organization has an impeccable safety record, and does not recall even a minor incident in the history of the training class. The fact that a young teen is dead is hitting everyone hard.
"We tend to know everybody and if you don't know everybody, you know their names so it impacts a lot of people," the Chief told KARE 11's Scott Seroka. "The instructors were from here, they work for the schools, the kids who were also here are in the schools, the parents are from around here."
In Wisconsin all children between the ages of 12 and 16 years old are required to take a rider course in order to operate a snowmobile legally. Because they are often taught before the snow flies the skis of the snowmobile are fitted with special wheels to operate on dry land.
Osceola Police and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will conduct a broad investigation into what led to the fatal incident, in hopes they can prevent it from happening again.
"Safety is our highest priority," said Wisconsin DNR Conservation Warden Todd Schaller. "Our DNR safety classes are designed to provide operators with the skills to safely operate recreational vehicles to enjoy Wisconsin's outdoors. The classes are taught by trained, certified and dedicated volunteers. We do not take Saturday's tragic loss of Sarah lightly in any way."
Schaller says it is believed that the tragedy was the first fatality or serious crash to occur during any DNR safety class. The program has been around since 1972 and currently has 879 instructors.

Hope everyone had/is having an awesome, happy Thanksgiving with the people they most enjoy being around!
I was on Facebook this morning, and today it reads "What are you thankful for?" in its post space. Since my current fascination is with the human brain, I responded: "Facebook asks, and so I answer: What am I thankful for? I am thankful for the approximate three pound, nervous system centered, biological computation organ that sits inside of my skull (and of which the natural laws of the world have worked to evolve over quite a long period of time). It is this biocomputation organ that allows me to enjoy a homemade meal with individuals whose company I most enjoy. Give thanks to your brain...and use it well."
Hope everyone's brain has been treated well today with some awesome food and conversation with some good friends/family.
I've definitely had some interesting conversations and fulfilling philosophical debates today, was introduced to new ideas, new music, and even some exotic food.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
So damn suggestive but hilarious!

Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. I got to hang out with my big sis the last couple days while back home in Louisville, and had a great time. Two days of shooting pool, watching horror flicks (I converted her several years ago and she had a bunch she wanted to watch with me to see if I approved LOL) and lost of reminiscing over cigarettes and Diet Coke.
Yeah. It was a good Thanksgiving.

Cerrtainly sounds like a blast.
Wish I coulda had fun like that,
Welcome back, LoudLon!
Thanks, fellas. Of course you realize that I'll be going back over the last several days' posts to make sure no one took advantage while I was away, so if you've got anything you need to confess...
she had a bunch she wanted to watch with me to see if I approved.
What did you watch and did you approve?
The only "confession" there is, is that Punk has taken over the site and declared himself the supreme mod. His first act was to banish all horror talk, and start a Thread about non violent movies where there are many acts of kindness throughout and that have happy ending.
So, you didn't miss much.

My only confession is not pushing the boundaries enough,
We watched Sinister and the remake of Maniac...and I can't remember the other two or three. I did approve of Sinister (which was much better than I thought it was going to be) but I kept nodding off on Maniac. I'll have to try it again when I'm more awake.
Punk has taken over as supreme mod? Oh, I don't think so. Not that I don't think he'd do a good job, but because I just know he'll want Lindsay Lohan as our official mascot. Well I'm here to tell you, I'll slap that shit down quicker than pimp on an under-performing ho. Ain't gonna have it.

Updated at 2:10 pm EST
Two four-star generals were set to go up to Capitol Hill this week.
One, retired Army Gen. David Petraeus, now former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, was supposed to address the Intelligence committees returning from their election recess about what he'd learned from his own personal investigation of the attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, that killed an ambassador and four other Americans.
The other, Marine Gen. John Allen, commander of U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan, was set to appear at a confirmation hearing for his nomination as Supreme Allied Commander of NATO forces, nominated by the president last month for a post held by the likes of Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Now those hearings are off.
Petraeus and Allen are ensnared in a web of e-mails discovered by a FBI investigation of a Tampa woman's complaint about e-mail harassment. The Pentagon's inspector general is investigating Allen because of e-mails between him and Jill Kelley, according to a Defense official who spoke with reporters on condition of anonymity while traveling with Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. The FBI has handed over 20,000 to 30,000 pages of documents, most of them e-mails. Panetta has asked senators to delay action on Allen's nomination. The general remains commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said today that the president had known of the FBI's findings about Allen since Friday, though he hadn't learned about Petraeus' problem until Wednesday, the day after Election Day.
Kelley is a doctor's wife in Tampa, home of the U.S. Central Command which Petraeus once ran, and where Allen served as a deputy, who complained about receiving harassing e-mails from Paula Broadwell, the Petraeus biographer identified by several officials as the woman involved in an extramarital affair with Petraeus. The CIA director resigned last week because of that affair, unearthed in the FBI e-mail probe.
Enter the president and commander-in-chief, celebrating a re-election won with a commanding lead in the Electoral College and narrow popular vote victory, returning to confront a Congress somewhat more Democratic yet still divided along party lines by Senate and House.
President Barack Obama, who hasn't held a formal White House news conference since June 8, plans one tomorrow.
In June, he wanted to talk about the economy and Europe, and he took just three questions.
Tomorrow, Obama wants to talk about the way forward with the economy and the looming challenge of the "fiscal cliff" facing Congress at year's end. He's likely to face a lot more than three questions, and they will involve much more than the economy.

Hearings and Business Meetings
Ms. Julie Leialoha
Manager, Big Island Invasive Species Committee
Testimony of Julie Leialoha - Manager
Big Island Invasive Species Committee
Field Hearing on Invasive Species
Subcommittee on National Parks
U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
August 9, 2005, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park
As the Big Island Invasive Species Committee (BIISC) Manager, I am responsible for ensuring that our program complies with our strategic plan. A plan that was developed with the aid of all of our participating partners, including staff of the National Park Service who have been instrumental in developing control strategies of invasive species within its boundaries. BIISC is a voluntary partnership of private citizens, community organizations, businesses, land owners, and government agencies such s the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the US Forest Service, Institute of Pacific Island Forestry, the National Park Service, the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, the University of Hawaii, the Research Corporation of the University of Hawaii, and the Pacific Cooperative Studies Unit, united to address invasive species issues on the island of Hawaii. Partnerships of this nature are imperative in today's complex world of dealing with invasive species. Others have already pointed out the tremendous influx of invasive organisms we face everyday. How do we fully address the impacts of invasive species on our natural environment, cultural heritage significant to Hawaii, as well as meet economic goals and growth of our islands. I refer back to partnerships such as BIISC.
Though agencies may have boundaries, invasive species have no boundaries and very few environmental limitations. BIISC along with the other island invasive species programs was formed to fill a void in assisting other agencies in its war on invasive species. We strive to avoid the creation of a new bureaucratic structure, and instead focus on working with existing organizations and agencies to achieve goals. We are one of the few agencies that deal's with invasive species on private property while also assisting partner agencies, such as the State Department of Agriculture, Department of Land and Natural Resources and the National Park Service. Our program priorities are organized around a key list of "target" invasive species, a hit list of sorts. This hit list is intended to identify plants and organisms that pose a serious threat to Hawaii so control measures can be organized. The main goal is for effective pest prevention before it becomes a serious problem requiring enormous resources. We call this early detection and rapid response. Like all the other ISC, we prefer to measure success in terms of pest infestations prevented, contained or eradicated. The only way we can do this, is to work with our partners. Like any other program, our resources are limited. We are happy to assist our partners when we can, and often request services of our partners as well. Most of the federal lands on the island of Hawaii are identified as "high resource value" lands. Lands immediately adjacent to federal lands are also considered high priority for protection purposes. BIISC spends a portion of our financial resources to ensure that invasive species stay out of high value resource zones like Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and would like to see park service employees involved in these control efforts as well. Invasive species will breach federal lands from the outside and vice-versa. All available resources should be utilized to attack the problem as a whole. We should not allow political boundaries to dictate invasive species control efforts. Obviously for this reason, the islands invasive species committees were formed to fill that gap. However, we simply cannot do it alone. It is imperative that our Federal brethren be authorized to work with its partners including fiscal expenditures outside of its jurisdictional boundaries. Though scientific partnerships help programs like BIISC create solid control efforts on the ground, we lack the staffing resources many of these organisms require to make a dent. Combining efforts makes the most sense. Our goal is not only to work with our partner agencies, but create community cooperators to help control targeted species within their own communities. Community partnerships are also instrumental in invasive species control efforts.
Our community partners have been very involved in invasive species control efforts, particularly with controlling coqui frogs, which has been the focus point of invasive species lately. I call it the flavor or the month, since there are other invasive species that require the same amount of attention this little frog is currently getting. There are other threats that pose a much larger problem and they don't make any noise, such as the little red fire ant, that can blind domestic animals, which many of us believe will be a much larger problem than coqui, or a new species of mosquito recently identified on the Big Island known to be a carrier of west nile virus.
The question was posed of what invasive species poses the greatest threat to the National Park. For Hawaii Island, I would have to say coqui frog. This tiny frog is now zapping a tremendous amount of BIISC resources. Breeding populations exist on the boundaries of this park and the march continues, as there have been confirmed captures of this pest within the parks boundaries. The next species could be the Little Fire Ant, or perhaps the stinging nettle cattepillar, or a host of invasive plant species. The list is endless. The key is to identify the threat before it becomes a problem, coordinate a rapid control response, and utilize all existing means to eradicate the threat immediately.

"They were fantastic. Was getting ready to bring our daughter home from college last May and she had a major problem with her car. People in town suggested Hickman and they took us right in and helped us out immediately. Her car would never have made the 2+ hour drive home. These people were very kind. I told my daughter if she had any future problems, Hickman is the place I want her to go. Feel very comforted knowing there is a place closeby if she has the need. Very helpful. We are very thankful for Hickman"
FromYelp.com Five Stars
"Honesty, integrity and friendliness are three ways I would describe Hickman Automotive and their staff.
I found them several years and use their services for things I can't legally do myself (inspection) or jobs that I don't have time to do (head gasket).
Last year, they adjusted my valves and replaced the gaskets as part of the procedure. I noticed yesterday that two of the spark plug wells were leaking oil at the gasket seal. Thinking maybe the gaskets themselves were under warranty, I stopped by with my receipt and asked.
Within 20 minutes, I had a new set of gaskets under 1-year warranty, they offered to print out the installation diagrams and instructions (I am in a tinkering mood) and offered to give me pointers on installation. While we were looking at the car together, John noticed that the gaskets were not quite seated properly during the installation they performed, which I fully appreciate because it was difficult to keep everything lined up properly when I did my last Honda's gaskets.
Hickman Automotive is standing behind their original work and will do the complete replacement when my car is in for inspection next week, at no cost to me. THAT is quality service.
I have taken my Mitsubishi, two Hondas and a BMW to Hickman and will continue to go back, as well as recommend them to everyone I can. Keep up the great work Hickman family!"

Jewelry Gal is undergoing a slight metamorphosis. I was sitting with my wonderful cohort Macala, reading the latest issue of Vanity Fair – the one with the illustrious Kate Winslet on the cover – discussing the blog and ripping on the latest celeb fashion faux pas (People magazine – nothing but love for ya) when she came up with a few ideas that blew my mind.

I was so excited to receive my Brother PE700II from Costco. I had read all the online reviews and knew of some troubles people had but there were also so many positive reviews that I decided to chance it, especially I could return it to a Costco store.
I tried my first design which was the floral treble clef. I wound my own 90 wt bobbin and used the Brother Pacesetter thread that came with the starter kit. Everything was going well until about the 4th color change and the thread jammed into the little hole, forcing me to cut my fabric. The upper thread had created a birdnest right where the hole is, but was not wound around the bobbin case. I had used iron on tear away stabilizer since I had that on hand. For each color change, I snipped the previous color near the spool and then pull down the cut thread out of the needle.
I opened up the plate and cleared out the jam. I made sure everything was clean and put everything back in place. I then decided to try a single color design so I took a brand new piece of fabric and stabilizer to try again.
The machine only did a few stitches before jamming up and creating the bird nest again. I checked to make sure I threaded it correctly. So what's wrong? I feel like a made a big mistake buying the Brother embroidery machine now.

I don't have an embroidery machine but thread nests are usually caused by needle and top thread. This is one machine I have looked at before so will be interested in what people say. I would check the needle and the thread path. Did you put a new needle in it? Check the thread path for errors in threading? Maybe a different stabilizer? I do hope you can get this working. It looks like a nice machine.
The problem is not the machine.
Before going any further, you need to remove the top, left side of the case and look for a thread jam.
Refer to the manual for cleaning the bobbin area. Remove the entire needle plate to be sure there isn't any thread snips. This is a general routine for machines with drop in bobbins as they collect a lot of lint and an occasional snip of thread which can drive the sensor crazy.
The thread is hanging up somewhere before gets to the needle.
This should help you understand the difference in how the thread should travel from the spool.
If you do not have a thread stand, sit the spool in a heavy mug next to the right of the machine and bring the thread straight up from the spool to the first thread guide.
Switch to a new needle just in case the one you were using has been bent.

All of us get a thread jam at one time or another. After freeing the jam, I unthread the machine as well as taking the bobbin out of its case and remove the needle. I brush out any lint, then re-thread, re-insert the needle, and replace the bobbin (and case, depending on the machine). This usually does the trick. It should be standard procedure with any thread jam (or other problems).
It could be a machine problem, but usually is a caught stray piece of thread, lint, worn or bent needle, or there is a good chance that it is user error.
------That's Gl = for Gloria, not G. I.
I removed the left cover of the machine and there's no thread tangles there. Everything looks very clean since I just used the machine for the first time last night. I did remove the throat plate, removed the bobbin and case to check. No threads and no lint.
I just replaced the needle and will go out later today to get a different stabilizer and a cone stand.

They have a wonderful section on thread nesting. I believe it will take some practice to get to know what your machine likes and doesn't like and what settings/tensions work. I don't have the brother so I cannot speak exactly to your machine. It took a lot of practice, thread breaking, nesting, etc on my Future before I finally figured out how to make her hum.

Update: I was able to embroider single color simple designs, initials, and names with my PE 700II today. Here's what I tried:
1. Bought a cone thread holder and use that instead of the spool holder on the machine.
2. Put in a new needle.
3. Reduced the embroidery speed from 650 to 350.
4. Adjusted the top tension to 4 and adjusted bobbin tension counterclockwise to reduce the loops on top. (There still seems to be barely any bobbin thread showing on the underside. But I'm afraid to adjust more since there's no more loops on top)
5. Bought some white felt and used Pellon tear away stabilizer with it. (Is it necessary to use stabilizer with felt?)
So today I'm feeling better about the machine. I'm still on the fence about keeping it as it depends on more testing. Tomorrow, I will do some more sample embroidery still using the white felt and trying out some designs with color changes. If that is successful, I will try out muslin fabric and tear away stabilizer.
Question: The sample stabilizer (Brother brand) that came with my starter kit is much thicker than the Pellon tear away. I was trying to look for something similar to the Brother brand at Joann's but they only had Pellon and Sulky, thinner stabilizers. For embroidering on regular cotton quilting fabric, should I be using a thicker stabilizer or cut away stabilizer? I'm wondering if that's one of the reasons my machine chewed the fabric up that I was using the paper tear away with the cotton fabric. -- Edited on 6/23/13 6:13 AM --

I have this machine and find that if I have a problem it is usually one of two things causing the problem
1. not using the right stabilizer for the fabric
2. need to change the needle
I am slowing learning which stabilizer to use and would recommend getting a sample pack of stabilizers to get a good idea of what the options are. It is a real eye opener. Sulky has a sample pack and there is a lot of information in the pack that tells you which stabilizer is best for the type of fabric you are using. Other manufacturers most likely have sample packs as well. Good luck and hang in there. There is a lot more to embroidery than I thought when I bought my machine but I am very happy now.
On the needle topic: organ ST needles are also good. I get them at alltstitch.com or on ebay -- I've bought organ needles from a seller named NGO, but I can't remember if he carries the ST ones. And I'm sorry, ebay is terrible for trying to find a seller by searching for the store name...

If you're hungry for a bargain and want to enjoy a little local atmosphere, join the anglers, families, and backpackers at this tiny restaurant that has spilled over into a large waterfront garden. Wooden tables are nattily covered with blue and white tablecloths and are shaded by palm trees. The menu is truly vast, with more than 40 bocas (small bites) and dozens of platos fuertes (main courses) that run the gamut from seafood rice to whole lobsters to sirloin steaks. You can make a meal of one or two bocas—say, clams in garlic butter and a cup of tangy ceviche or a shrimp omelet with salad—and walk away for less than $5. Or spend $26 on lobster. Wash it down with the only draft beer served in town, and gaze out at Golfo Dulce. An added bonus: there's free Wi-Fi. It's open 11 to 11 daily.

About the Book
In My Sisters the Saints, author Colleen Carroll Campbell blends her personal narrative of spiritual seeking, trials, stumbles, and breakthroughs with the stories of six women saints who profoundly changed her life: Teresa of Avila, Therese of Lisieux, Faustina of Poland, Edith Stein of Germany, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and Mary of Nazareth. Drawing upon the rich writings and examples of these extraordinary women, the author reveals Christianity's liberating power for women and the relevance of the saints to the lives of contemporary Christians.

|Temporal coding mediates discrimination of "bitter" taste stimuli by an insect.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16943545 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The mechanisms that mediate discriminative taste processing in insects are poorly understood. We asked whether temporal patterns of discharge from the peripheral taste system of an insect (Manduca sexta caterpillars; Sphingidae) contribute to the discrimination of three "bitter" taste stimuli: salicin, caffeine, and aristolochic acid. The gustatory response to these stimuli is mediated exclusively by three pairs of bitter-sensitive taste cell, which are located in the medial, lateral, and epipharyngeal sensilla. We tested for discrimination by habituating the caterpillars to salicin and then determining whether the habituation generalized to caffeine or aristolochic acid. We ran habituation-generalization tests in caterpillars with their full complement of taste sensilla (i.e., intact) and in caterpillars with ablated lateral sensilla (i.e., lat-ablated). The latter perturbation enabled us to examine discrimination in caterpillars with a modified peripheral taste profile. We found that the intact and lat-ablated caterpillars both generalized the salicin-habituation to caffeine but not aristolochic acid. Next, we determined whether this pattern of stimulus-generalization could be explained by salicin and aristolochic acid generating distinct ensemble, rate, temporal, or spatiotemporal codes. To this end, we recorded excitatory responses from the bitter-sensitive taste cells and then used these responses to formulate predictions about whether the salicin-habituation should generalize to caffeine or aristolochic acid, separately for each coding framework. We found that the pattern of stimulus generalization in both intact and lat-ablated caterpillars could only be predicted by temporal coding. We conclude that temporal codes from the periphery can mediate discriminative taste processing.

Ron has posted prototype pictures, on the MLD Facebook site, of the new 2010 Newt pack. This is a small volume Prophet type pack weighing in at 10 oz. Thank you Ron.
Good stuff. Ron has indicated that the Newt will be about sized about 25% less. I wonder if the 'Super' option will be available on this pack as well?
In looking closely at the pictures of the "Newt" and reading Ron's description, posted on the MLD Facebook site, I think the pack is a near perfect blend of small volume, light weight, durability and design features. I feel strongly that both the Newt and the new SoloMid will be very strong additions to the MLD lineup. 2010 is looking to be a great year for UL gear.
Link please?
MLD Newt
Edited by Coldspring on 12/31/2009 09:59:57 MST.
Thanks, Tom.Very nice indeed! I've got two packs that I'm happy with... so why do I keep clicking over to MLD site and salivating over the packs there???Not that anyone is asking, but for me, I would want a more functional waist belt -- like 1" -- or simply skip it altogether. OTOH, methinks there's weight to be saved by shortening the front spectra cord and removing the two topmost mini bungee clips (functionally it only needs to go up to the top of the front mesh pocket and not almost to the top of the pack itself which makes it more awkward to reach into the front mesh pocket). Also, if the top compression strap is 3/4" or more (hard to tell from photo) -- then methinks one can safely use a 1/2" strap and still retain sufficient toughness and full functionality.

At a projected 1900ci total volume it should be the perfect pack for UL 2-3 night trips - and being full featured it's the pack I've been looking for. Appearing in design like a smaller Prophet if one doesn't like require some of the hardware, I'd assume most if not all options would be detachable/attachable. Another well thought out design/product by MLD....2 weeks will be a long wait!!

Isn't that a Golite Day?
If 'Lucy' is the ancestress of what later evolved to become homo sapiens... I see the Golite Breeze similarly as the ancestor of all frameless packs.
Well just when I thought I might be able to pass on the Newt the details look to sway me. I've been really happy with my Prophet, but could use a slightly smaller pack with minimal features. I'm really glad to see that Ron is using a simple design that allows for stripple elements and is keeping the cost down. If it is $130 then I will likely be buying one.Jamie

Looks very close to my personal favorite MLD pack, the Revelation, only in Dyneema grid this time.
John,The Revelation, mine in any case, was a spectralite version of the Prophet in relation to pack volume. The 2010 Newt having narrower, more athletic cut, and with less total volume is a new direction for MLD. Mine, the 2010 Newt, is ordered and I will post pictures of the pack taken side by side with my 2010 Prophet so all can see the differences. TD

I bought the prototype from a member here. Really nice pack and I think it will be perfect for quick summer trips. I like the new hardware on it and now the side pockets use shock cord and cord locks instead of just elastic.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Jacob Dahlstrom left his crutches behind to drive in two runs on four singles to help Sammamish gets past Iowa, 6-5, win despite squandering a four-run lead in the elimination game.
Dahlstrom was cleared to play a day after being struck by a line drive on the outside of his right knee in a 9-7 loss to Westport, Conn., on Sunday.
"Last night, I tried to walk on it, and I was feeling pretty bad," Dahlstrom said following the game. "I tried to walk this morning on it, and I was feeling pretty good."
Washington manager Rob Chandler's expectations regarding Dahlstrom's injury improved, on their way to have the knee examined earlier in the day.
"I saw him on crutches, and I said, 'Maybe we should walk down the hill,'"
Chandler said. "We walked down and he was fine."
Dahlstrom drove in Sammamish's second run in the first inning. He added an RBI single in a two-run sixth to build the lead to 6-2.
Sammamish needed the insurance.
With two out in the Iowa's final at-bat, Brook Heinen hit a two-run double to the wall in center, and then scored on a wild pitch. Reliever Will Armbruester, however, ended the game by striking out Grant Garwood.
Iowa (1-2) lost for the first time in 10 games in which it has faced elimination this season.
Brady Roberts had two singles and scored once for the Midwest champions.
Washington's Dylan Matsuoka had two-run single in the third inning.
Sammamish plays Nashville, Tenn., a 10-0 winner over Newark, Del., at 5 p.m. today.
In International bracket elimination games, Taoyuan, Taiwan, rallied from a 3-0 deficit to pull out a 6-4 win over San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico. Taiwan advances to play Aguadulce, Panama, on Tuesday. Panama advanced with a 12-0 win over Ottawa, Ontario.
Tennessee 10, Delaware 0
Knox Preston's head turned out to be fine. And so is the Nashville, Tenn., player's swing.
A day after being cleared by Little League World Series doctors of any signs of a concussion, Preston played a big role in Nashville's 10-0 rout of Newark, Del., in an elimination game Monday.
The second baseman singled and scored the first run during a six-run, second-inning rally. He then sealed it with a two-run homer in the bottom of the fourth that invoked the tournament's 10-run mercy rule.
"I was really nervous because, at first the doctor said he was really close to saying I had a concussion," said Preston, who landed hard on his head after being tripped up running to first base during a 10-2 win over Corpus Christi, Texas, on Saturday. "When he told me I was able to play, I was so happy because I would've hated to just watch my team and not be able to contribute at all."
The Southeast champions had plenty of contributors in avoiding elimination in their second straight game.
Zane Denton hit a grand slam in the second inning. Robert Hassell had a double and RBI triple.
And just as important, the shortened game allowed manager Chris Mercado to save his pitching as Nashville is still two wins from having a shot at playing in the U.S. bracket title game.
"That's how we get out of the loser's bracket, guys. We have the pitchers to keep them down," Mercado said. "And once we start hitting, the other team's going to be in trouble."
Against Nashville, Delaware (1-2) threatened with the bases loaded in the third before Joseph Davis struck out looking. Justin Courter had the lone hit, a single, for the Mid-Atlantic champions.
After opening the tournament with a 6-3 win over Iowa, Delaware dropped a 15-3 decision to California.
Newark manager John Ludman had no difficulty believing his players would be fine after their second lopsided loss.
"They've gone farther than any Newark team. They had a great ride," Ludman said. "The kids know they accomplished a lot. There were very little expectations for this team. They really have been a Cinderella story."
Panama 12, Canada 0
Jean Mar Sanchez hit a three-run homer and drove in four runs, and Edgardo Rosales and Juan Crisp combined on a one-hitter to help Aguadulce stay alive.
Rosales struck out four in 2 2-3 innings, while Crisp struck out two in 1 1-3 innings of relief.
Panama scored six times in both the second and third innings. Rosales started the scoring with a solo homer before Rafael Eysseric added a two-run triple. Sanchez knocked home a run with a single and Crisp added a two-run single in the second.
Carmelo Cruz had an RBI walk, Jean Cornejo hit a two-run double and Sanchez homered in the third.
Jack Walsh had the lone hit for the Canadians.
Taiwan 6, Puerto Rico 4
Huang Chao-Wei singled home two runs during a four-run fourth inning, and Lan Huai-Chein doubled and scored in the fifth in the come-from-behind win.
The Asia-Pacific champions had a short turnaround following a 3-2 loss to Japan in the late game Sunday night.
Puerto Rico (1-2) threatened in its final at-bat, scoring once on a two-out, bases-loaded walk to Edgar Baez. But Robert Addarich bounced out to the pitcher to end the game.
Puerto Rico starter Leonardo Lizardi hit four batters into the fourth inning to tie a one-game series record set six times.

Chile emerged as the big winner this week at the "2012 Green Awards" ceremony held in London by leading wine and spirits magazine The Drinks Business.
The annual event recognizes companies, people and organizations around the world that are changing the business practices of the drinks industry for the better, rewarding the winery which has made the strongest commitment to the environment with the title of "Green Company of the Year."
This year Chile's Viña Emiliana took home the prize.
Upon presenting the award, David Mawer, UK Managing Director of JF Hillebrand, commended the Chilean winery for "improving its business practice to better its carbon footprint by improving its own direct impact on the surrounding environment."
Viña Emiliana was born in 1998 as a project to produce a world-class wine that includes both organic and biodynamic agriculture in its production.
"When we began this project more than a decade ago we were innovators and visionaries," said José Guilisasti, General Manager of Viña Emiliana. "Today we realize that being 100% organic and sustainable from the social, environmental, and economic perspectives is possible. We are tremendously proud to obtain this award and it motivates us to continue working in the same direction."
The winery currently has over 2,463 acres (997 hectares) of vineyards in the some of Chile's most renowned wine growing regions, including the Casablanca, Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua, and Bío Bío Valleys. Emiliana's vineyards are free of pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers. Today it boasts sustainable practices ranging from from energy efficiency programs to Corporate Social Responsibility activities.
In addition to taking out the top award at the ceremony, Viña Emiliana also won the "Sustainability Award," topping a highly competitive field of wineries from Australia, New Zealand, Britain and Portugal, among others. The Sustainability Award recognizes the company's efforts to achieve sustainable practices more efficiently and effectively.
Creating an environmentally responsible and sustainable industry has become one of the strategic goals of the Chilean wine industry's organizing body – Wines of Chile, which was also a sponsor of this year's Green Awards.
By 2020, Wines of Chile seeks to be the number one producer of premium, sustainable and diverse wines from the New World. This target has been embraced by many vineyards around the county, and by January 2012 Wines of Chile had officially certified 20 wineries with its new Certified Sustainable Wine of Chile seal, after a rigorous assessment and inspection process.
The following wineries have already been certified sustainable: Cremaschi Furlotti, Via Wines, Errazuriz, Caliterra, Arboleda, Montes, Montgras, Ventisquero, Santa Ema, Anakena, Santa Cruz, Santa Rita, Casa Silva, Emiliana, Miguel Torres, Maquis, Perez Cruz, Carmen, Sur Andino, and Nativa.

Facebook divides news feed into tabsComment on this story
Menlo Park, California - Facebook introduced a visually richer, mobile device-oriented "news feed" on Thursday, in the most significant changes to date for the social network's most recognisable feature.
The changes to the news feed, whose look and feel has remained largely unchanged since its inception, include a division into several sections, with separate areas for photographs and music. They will begin rolling out in limited fashion from Thursday.
The overhaul, which standardises the feed across mobile devices and desktop computers, is designed to keep users active and interacting as well as appeal to advertisers, as Facebook battles Google for Internet market share.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg had singled out the feature as in need of a makeover as recently as January, when the company introduced "graph search" to address inadequacies in allowing users to trawl for information across the world's largest social network.
Facebook's news feed, an ever-changing stream of photos, videos and comments uploaded from friends, is the first page most users see upon logging in. It is one of three "pillars" of the service, along with search and user profiles.
The last major update to the feature occurred in September 2011. Since then, the company has incorporated ads directly into the feed and has shifted its focus to creating "mobile-first experiences", because more people now access the social network from smartphones and desktops than from desktop computers.
The addition of advertising, however, prompted complaints from users who preferred an unblemished stream of personally relevant comments, underscoring the difficulty in balancing advertiser-friendly formats - such as larger images - with keeping its one-billion-plus members engaged.
The world's largest social network is moving to regain Wall Street's confidence after a botched IPO last year, addressing concerns about its long-term prospects - many of which centre on an industry-wide shift toward the use of mobile devices.
Facebook shares, which are still more than a quarter off their IPO price of $38, were up two percent at $27.99 on Thursday afternoon on the Nasdaq.
Facebook and Google, which both got their start on desktop computers, are now managing a transition of their products onto smartphones and tablets, which typically yield less revenue than on PCs.
The two Internet mainstays are also waging a war for revenue in mobile advertising - a market that is still small compared with the traditional desktop but that is growing exponentially.
In terms of overall mobile advertising, Google commanded a 53.5 percent share in 2012, aided by its dominance in search-based ads. Facebook had just 8.4 percent, a distant runner-up, according to estimates from research house eMarketer.
But in terms of mobile display ad sales, Facebook narrowly edges out its rival with 18.4 percent of the market versus Google's 17 percent, the research outfit estimated. - Reuters
