Fredericksburg High School varsity baseball split two District 29-4A road games last week.
The Billies lost to Boerne, 10-0, last Tuesday but beat Lytle, 11-3, Monday.
FHS played again Tuesday night in a home game against Devine but results were not available as of press time.
The Billies play again on Friday in the final home game of the season against Bandera and wrap up the district season with a Tuesday night road game against Hondo. Both games start at 7 p.m.
FHS 11, Lytle 3
The Billies beat Lytle, 11-3, Monday night in Lytle.
Kyle Guynes pitched 2 1/3 innings in relief and struck out three batters to earn the win. Guynes also helped FHS in the batter's box by 2-for-2 at the plate with a run and a RBI.
Blake Moffett scored two runs and hit two batters in.
Fredericksburg High School varsity softball lost twice in a week but still remained in the District 29-4A playoff picture for last night's game against the Devine Warhorses.
The Billies lost, 5-4, to Lytle on Monday and to Boerne, 6-5, April 14, to land in fifth place in the district with a 3-6 record.
Three teams remain in the playoff hunt, heading into last night. Devine sat comfortably in third with a 5-4 record and Lytle moved to fourth at 4-5, after beating FHS.
A win against the Warhorses and a Lytle loss to Hondo would give FHS a chance to take the fourth and final District 29-4A spot.
Bandera and Boerne entered Tuesday as co-district leaders with 7-2 records and clinched playoff spots.
Hondo is in last place at 1-8 and is eliminated from playoff contention.
Game results from Tuesday's home finale against Devine were not available as of press time.
Lytle 5, FHS 4

The boys' track and field team from Harper High School finished with 61 points in Saturday's 2A area competition, good enough for fifth place in the meet held on the Harper campus.
HHS had a pair of student athletes finish in first place of their respective events — Joshua Schmerbeck captured the high jump with a distance of 6'2" while the 300-meter hurdles went to Micah Middleton who put in a time of 40.38.
Fellow District 27-2A school Mason finished atop the team standings with 134 points.
All contestants who finished in fourth place and above now qualify for the Region IV championships slated for Texas A&M Kingsville May 1-2.
Three first place finishes helped the Harper High School girls' track and field team capture second place (behind Shiner) in Saturday's 2A area competition held on the Longhorn facilities.
Rachel Maner took the top spot in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 12:44.63. Meanwhile, Megan Myers won the 200-meter dash in a time of 25.98.
The Ladyhorn 1,600-meter relay squad finished first in that event in a time of 4:09.80.
All contestants who finished in fourth place and above now qualify for the Region IV championships slated for Texas A&M University — Kingsville, May 1-2.
It was another one-win, one-loss week for the Harper High School varsity baseball team as the Longhorns defeated host Eldorado, 4-1, on Tuesday, April 14, then fell victim to a 3-0 road loss at Johnson City on Friday.
The Longhorns will visit Ozona on Friday, then return home Tuesday night to face Mason at 7 p.m. The evening, which has been dubbed "Senior Night," will start off with the two schools squaring off in a junior varsity game at 4:30 p.m.
Results from last night's home game with Menard were not known by press deadline.
Johnson City 3, Harper 0
The Longhorns were only able to scratch out a pair of base hits — both singles, from the bats of Lane Fajkus and Chase Lowman — as they lost a District 29-2A contest at Johnson City Friday evening, 3-0.
The weatherman sure messed up Harper High School's varsity softball schedule.
While the Ladyhorns were able to get in a game on Tuesday, April 14 (an 11-1 home win over D'Hanis in five innings), other contests were postponed due to rainy conditions and rescheduled.
Last Friday's game at Center Point was moved to tonight (Wednesday) at 4:30 p.m. And Monday's encounter was bounced to last night; results were not known by press time.
This Friday's games with Sabinal (JV at 4:30 p.m., varsity at 6 p.m.) are still on schedule, weather permitting, of course.
Harper 11, D'Hanis 1
The Ladyhorns picked up their 11th District 29-2A victory on April 14, topping D'Hanis, at home, 11-1, in a game ended after five innings under the mercy run rule.
Fredericksburg High School track teams won three of four divisions at the District 29-4A Track and Field Meet in Devine last week and qualified a group athletes for the Area 29-4A/30-4A Track and Field Meet tomorrow, Thursday, April 23, at Poteet Aggie Stadium.
Advancing to the area track meet on Thursday in Poteet will be:
•Chase Whiting — 100 hurdles, 300 hurdles, long jump, triple jump and 4x400.

Fredericksburg High School varsity boys' soccer made a deep run into the postseason before its season came to an end Saturday.
The Billies lost to the Liberty Hill Panthers, 5-4, Saturday in the Region IV-4A UIL Championship played at Mission.
It was Fredericksburg's third game in five days after beating Bandera, 2-1, last Tuesday night in the regional quarterfinals and Hidalgo, 1-0, Friday, in the regional semifinals.
A regional finals exit was not what the Billies had in mind for their trip to South Texas but it was still an unforgettable season for FHS soccer, which won the District 28-4A Championship and made it the regional finals for the second time in five years.
Fredericksburg High School's varsity boys' golf team will be making another appearance at state competition after finishing tied for second at the Region IV-4A Gold Tournament held Monday in Corpus Christi.
The Billie varsity girls' team finished seventh and will not advance to state.
Heavy rainfall in the area cancelled the planned second day of play on Tuesday, turning the event into a single day tournament.

One singles player and three doubles pairs will represent Fredericksburg High School varsity tennis in the Region IV-4A Tennis championship in Corpus Christi April 21-22.
Girls' singles player Hannah Boubel, boys' doubles pairs Parker Phillips/Sitman Wainwright, Brant Crenwelge/James Drury and girls' doubles partners Grace Igarta/Myra Powell all qualified for the regional tournament after finishing first or second in their respective brackets at district.
"These seven have been working hard the past week in preparation," head coach Randall King said. "We are trying to polish a few things and continue to cut down on unforced errors."

Iran Has Detained Three Americans for a Year
On July 31st of 2009, three American activists were detained near the Iran/Iraq border by Iranian forces while on a hiking trip through Iraqi Kurdistan. Iran claims to have picked the three Berkley grads on its own side of the border, while The Nation – not in the habit of intentionally whipping up anti-Iranian fervor, and holding an impressive track record of accuracy for an American magazine of political commentary – now reports that witnesses from a nearby village claim to have seen the three hikers being arrested on the Iraqi side of the border.
Regardless of whether or not the Iranians crossed into Iraq or whether the hikers mistakenly crossed a mile or two into Iran somewhere along the poorly-marked border, the Iranian regime has quite clearly been using these three detainees as chips in its high-stakes poker game with the U.S. and other of its international adversaries. The hikers are being accused of espionage, presumably on behalf of the CIA or NSA; and although both the U.S. and Israel are known to engage in espionage against Iran, the details of this particular case would not seem to indicate that these particular graduates of a distinctly anti-CIA educational institution were working on behalf of the perceived imperialistic interests of the U.S., Israel, or both. Detainee Sarah Shroud taught Iraqi refugees in Damascus and otherwise spent her time advocating on behalf of the reasonable aspirations of various oppressed Arab groups; one article she wrote for a left-leaning online media outlet – entitled "Families Shout Their Love Across Minefields in Golan Heights" – is particularly non-indicative of someone in the planning stages of some daring espionage action in service to the U.S. intelligence community. Another of the hikers is an acquaintance of one of my top associates with Project PM, who summed up his experiences with the fellow to me thusly: "If he was under cover, it was a damned good cover."
What we have here, then, is a case of three American activists who are not only clearly innocent of espionage, but who have actually done more than their part to improve relations between the U.S. and the Muslim world during a low point in that volatile relationship. These are the three individuals whom the Iranian regime have chosen to use as pawns in an attempt to score public relations points against the U.S., among other things; that the Iranian government has proposed a prisoner swap indicates that its more ambitious goal is to buy back its own operatives with the espionage equivalent of counterfeit currency.
It is all well and good to know of some injustice perpetrated by a far-away theocracy, but in order to provide these three noble young people with a better chance at eventual liberty, it is necessary to bring further attention to this ongoing incident so that those of our own representatives with the means to act will be compelled to do so. This Friday – the first anniversary of the hikers' detention by Iranian forces – friends and family of the three Americans will be holding a rally in New York in an effort to prompt firmer action on behalf of Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd, and Josh Fattal, who have languished in an Iranian prison for a year and who will continue to do so until such time as the Obama Administration steps up to the plate and does everything in its power to secure the liberty of three American citizens who've found themselves abducted by a theocratic and criminal regime.

AAA: Gas prices fall to lowest level in four months

TAMPA, Fla. - Gasoline is selling at the lowest price since March amid rising gasoline supplies and falling oil prices, according to the latest fuel price brief from AAA South. The national and Florida average prices for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline are on a 30-day streak of declines. Prices in Georgia and Tennessee have fallen 34 and 32 consecutive days respectively.

 "Oil prices briefly rose following the crash of Malaysian Airliner Flight MH17, but gas prices didn't skip a beat last week," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Motorists continue to enjoy discounts at the pump and that's likely to continue this week."

 The price of oil fell more than a dollar on the NYMEX this week. WTI settled at $102.09 a barrel Friday, $1.04 cheaper than the week prior. Oil is trading lower as gasoline supplies reach a four-month high and outpaces demand.

 The national average price for a gallon of gasoline is 6 cents cheaper than last week. The average price also fell 5 cents in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.

 The average price nationally is $3.52 a gallon; Georgia's average price is $3.43 a gallon.

The North Carolina Center for Missing Persons has cancelled a Silver Alert for 11-year-old Kayla Brown at the request of the Durham County Sheriff's Office.
Previous Story:
The N.C. Center for Missing Persons has issued a Silver Alert for a missing endangered girl, Kayla Brown.
Officials say citizens are asked to be on the lookout for Brown, who is just 11 years old. WRAL reports Brown has a medical condition.
Anyone with information about Kayla Brown should call the Durham County Sheriff's Office at (919)560-0900.
Officials say Brown is white, weighs 130 pounds, is 5'6", has brown hair, blue eyes and numerous earrings. They say she was last wearing a white, black and grey jacket with a fur-lined hood and blue jeans.
She was reported missing from the Durham School of Arts. Reports indicate she was last seen getting on a bus at a residential area, at the intersection of Genesse and Bramble.
While Amber Alerts are traditionally issued for children and Silver Alerts are traditionally issued for adults, a Silver Alert can be issued for a child who is endangered but does not meet the criteria for an amber alert.
Criteria for a Silver Alert, according to a state website:
The person is believed to be suffering from dementia or other cognitive impairment- regardless of age.
The person is believed to be missing – regardless of circumstance.
A legal custodian of the missing person has submitted a missing person's report to the local law enforcement agency where the person went missing.
Law enforcement reports the incident to the NC Center for Missing Persons.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jlady The Best! I had a drawer full of sharpeners that did not work. Just happened to see these by the register at Sally's and bought one. The others are now in the trash. This is a great little product! It doesn't break the pencil off just as you get it sharp like others. And it has the removeable "ring" for larger size pencils. I'm going to buy 2 more...one for work and one for my travel bag. November 24, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by Yessie I love it. I love this sharpener. My favorite thing is that you will have no mess as it catches the pencil shavings. It's very easy to clean just open and toss the shavings in the trash. It sharpens very well. I sharpen my eyeliners and lip liners, it gives them a very thin tip which is great since you need to have a thin tip for applying eyeliner and lip liner. It's made very well not like the cheap ones at Walgreens. July 5, 2009

Dark Waters: An Insider's Account of the NR-1, the Cold War's Undercover Nuclear Sub
Murray, William S., Naval War College Review
Vyborny, Lee, and Don Davis. Dark Waters: An Insider's Account of the NR-1, the Cold War's Undercover Nuclear Sub. New York: New American Library, 2003. 243pp. $24.95
Although ultimately worthwhile and entertaining, Dark Waters suffers from the strange paradox of inadequately describing underwater events that ought to be gripping while simultaneously portraying mundane and ordinary events in a marvelously compelling manner. Lee Vyborny was a new-construction plank-owner and member of the first commissioning crew of the U.S. Navy's small nuclear-powered submarine NR-1. Don Davis has written or coauthored eleven books.
Overall, the book well rewards its readers, but unevenly. An example of its bumpiness comes early in the prologue when the authors state that in World War II "about half the U.S. submarines and the men who served in them were lost," which, of course, is untrue. Although fifty-two U.S. submarines and over 3,500 of their heroic crewmembers were lost, this number represents a fifth (not half) of the submarines the United States sent to sea during that war.
Further problems arise when the book briefly describes the path that took Vyborny from being an ordinary high school graduate to becoming a crewmember of NR-1-the Navy's smallest and most mysterious nuclear-powered submarine. The authors certainly do not devote excessive space to this part of the tale, but their telling of Vyborny's early story is just a bit too self-conscious and self-effacing, lacking the easy confidence and pride that characterizes much of the rest of the book. Another criticism arises from an early passage in which Vyborny relates a 1964 deployment he made as a junior enlisted sailor on the nuclear-powered submarine USS Sargo to the Sea of Japan. Intended, one presumes, to rival the swashbuckling tales told in Sontag and Drew's Blind Man's Bluff, the story of the grounding, jam-dive casualty, and operational exploits of the USS Sargo simply are not conveyed in a manner compelling or even believable to those with their own submarine experience. One reads them wondering if they are true. For instance, the authors state that Sargo passed ten feet directly underneath a newly launched Echo II Soviet submarine to "determine if she was powered by standard diesel engines, or a nuclear reactor." It is curious to think the U.S. Navy would use this method to ascertain the mode of propulsion of a ship class that had already been in service for at least two years. …

HOME PRICES: Case-Shiller reports home price gains in March
1 of 2More Galleries
The Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller report on home prices across 20 cites in the U.S. posted year-over-year gains of 12.4 percent in March.
Home prices rose in the Los Angeles market by an even bigger 16.9 percent from March 2013, according to the report released Tuesday, May 26, 2014.
Despite the gains, S & P Dow Jones Indices chairman David Blitzer says prices have begun to advance at a slower pace over the past four months.
Metropolitan areas seeing substantial slowdowns in price gains -- Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco and Tampa - were in some of the leading � boom-bust markets, according to � Blitzer.
In the Los Angeles market, for instance, home prices showed a gain of only 1.2 percent from March.
The deceleration in price had Blitzer saying housing indicators remain mixed� for these reasons:
1) April housing starts recovered the drop in March, but virtually all the gain was in apartment construction, not single family homes.
2) Mortgage rates are near a seven month low, but comments from the Fed point to bank lending standards as a problem keeping the lid on price.
3) Student loan debt is preventing potential first-time buyers from entering the housing market.
There are a couple of other factors at play, as well, at least in the Inland region:
1) The price-gains are coming off of 2013 prices which began a rocket-ride run-up that February. Rates appreciated month-to-month for much of the year at rates of 20 percent.
2) Home prices are getting closer to what they were before the housing boom when home sale prices rose at unprecedented rates because of lax lending rules, zero-interest rates� and buyer frenzy.
3) Many homeowners say they're in a holding pattern, in part, because they're enjoying the equity gain and because diminished wages or job opportunity is keeping them in place.

Great Places: Moore Square
- First-Place Winner - Chris Counts Studio, Charlottesville, VA
- Second-Place Winner - Larry Zucchino, ASLA, JDavis Architects, Raleigh, NC
- Third-Place Winner - Stephen Stimson Associates, Falmouth, MA
- Honorable Mention - Samuel Reynolds, President/Owner, Reynolds & Jewel
- Honorable Mention - Vincent Petrarca, Partner, Tonic Design
- Honorable Mention - Eric Davis, Principal, Lappas & Havener
- Honorable Mention - Roger Lynn Spears, Senior Design Architect, Szostak Design, Inc.
- Honorable Mention - Davin Hong, Senior Design Architect, KlingStubbins
Moore Square Design Competition
First-Place Winner - Chris Counts Studio, Charlottesville, VA
Team: Jenny Mikulski, Mike Smith
This design concept for Moore Square builds upon its most unique and significant characteristics, but expands its spatial, experiential, and programmatic range by introducing a gentle landform. The landform feature energizes and organizes the site into visually and functionally distinct spaces that accommodate a wider range of uses than the Square offers today. The Square becomes multidimensional, offering prospect, large expanses of open lawn, and places for refuge and recreation.
The original entry paths are retained to minimize root disturbance, and planters are removed to deepen views. Existing path materials are recycled in the pavement pattern of an exciting and flexible new plaza that can host both grand and impromptu performances. An adventure playground is embedded in the landform, and the gentle northern slope becomes an amphitheatre, or simply a place to sunbathe and people watch. Sustainable practices such as collecting stormwater in rain gardens, and enriching habitat in the interpreted natural area ensure this design benefits the ecosystem and establishes a contemplative zone for reading and birdwatching.
Second-Place Winner - Larry Zucchino, ASLA, JDavis Architects, Raleigh, NC
Team: Marty Linn, ASLA; David Brown, ASLA, Sawako Bush, Pongsak Denpattanapitak
This design concept maintains the Square's historic form by enhancing historic pedestrian circulation patterns while maintaining a strong cross-Square flow. Social interaction for all citizens is provided through new activities and functions. The design concept is a classical solution that respects historic pathways and responds to Raleigh as it is today. The sense of entry to the Square is very inviting. The wide promenade makes the Square accessible, walkable, warm, and friendly. The design improves function with wider walkways, a flexible multi-use central area, a permanent small performance venue, and refreshment pavilions with restrooms and kiosks. Environmental sustainability is incorporated through tree conservation, native tree replanting, permeable pavements, local materials, storm water cistern, and LED lighting. Economic vitality is tied directly to creating a successful and attractive Downtown destination for adjacent businesses. Historic neighborhoods are strongly linked through incorporation of desired uses and history plaques.
Third-Place Winner - Stephen Stimson Associates, Falmouth, MA
Team: Steve Stimson, Eddie Marshall, Tom Lee, Mascha Hranjec, Jen Exner, Cullen Meves, Chris Buccino
This design concept is simple, clean, and flexible. It seeks to reaffirm the Square's historic identity of great oaks and common ground. The design provides a dramatic look towards City Market along a promenade connecting the north and south sides of the Square. The design creates rooms that blur the edges of the Square. Active and passive zones transition nicely to the great lawn.
Honorable Mentions

All four corners of the Square are very inviting, especially the emphasis on the southeast corner. The design highlights history in tile arrangements in the pathways.
Roger Lynn Spears, Senior Design Architect, Szostak Design, Inc.
The design concept illustrates civic elegance. The idea is simple, yet innovative.
Davin Hong, Senior Design Architect, KlingStubbins
The cross access in this design highlights historic pathways with good pedestrian weaving along the promenade. The bioretention area is up front and visible.

Design Competition Overview
The Competition was an opportunity for the design community to engage in the momentum taking place in Raleigh. Design criteria addressed the City's goals to advance diversity, enhance connection between Downtown and surrounding communities, and encourage more environmental/sustainable development solutions.
Design Competition Rationale
Moore Square is a historic, signature destination in Raleigh. It hosts a range of high-profile events with a citywide and regional draw including Downtown Live concerts, Farmers Market, Artsplosure, SparkCon, World Beer Festival, area school activities, and summer movies, to mention a few. Moore Square was not designed as a large event venue, and increasingly heavy use has created significant maintenance issues and compromised the attractiveness of the Square for citizens, workers, and visitors. During the upcoming year, many of the current events may move to other new public spaces in Downtown Raleigh (including City Plaza and, later, the Festival site west of the Raleigh Convention Center).
The Departments of City Planning and Parks and Recreation, working with the State and the Downtown Raleigh Alliance sought through the Competition to understand and balance how Moore Square will be developed and programmed within the context of new public event spaces opening across Downtown.
Competition Objectives
The Competition involved an Open Call for Ideas that informed the application criteria. The City, through the Competition, hopes to:
Create a unique public space and urban experience for the 21st century;
Engage broad public participation throughout the process and in the future; and
Establish the conditions to develop a sustainable economic development strategy for the Moore Square area.
Community Open Call for Ideas
The Open Call for Ideas June 17 (Marbles Kids Museum) and June 27, 2009 (Chavis Community Center) kicked off the creative process of soliciting site and programming ideas for Moore Square. City-wide public participation was encouraged among all who are vested in the Square: residents, CACs, environmental groups, Downtown Raleigh Alliance membership, Moore Square area property owners and businesses, local schools and universities, and neighborhood and parks advocates. The Open Call for Ideas was an opportunity for the public to contribute their big - and not so big - ideas for the Square. Ideas evolved from resident and visitor memories, current user experiences, and community conversations throughout the city about the Square's significant history and its future as a destination.
History of Moore Square
The Raleigh Historic Districts Commission (RHDC) is funding a report on Moore Square's physical and cultural landscape. The report will provide a historical context for participants in the Moore Square Design Public Process Open Call for Ideas and Juried Conceptual Design Competition. To document the history of Moore Square, the report will use the palimpsest method, which identifies periods of a landscape's life by creating maps that can be viewed either stand-alone by period, or overlaid to show all periods.
The initial rough draft report is under review by the RHDC's Research Committee and is scheduled for acceptance by the Commission at its May 19 meeting; it is also to be reviewed by State of North Carolina (owner of Moore Square) prior to release. The report will document the following periods:
1792-1812: Origin
- Began with William Christmas plan in 1792
- Square named after Alfred E. Moore, State Attorney General (1782 - 1791)
- Residential in nature for its first 100 years
- Square used as a gathering space covered with oaks and crisscrossing informal paths
1812-1866: Institutional
- Nicknamed "Baptist Grove" due to location of church with integrated congregation on Square; Episcopalian congregation also utilized "Christian Chapel"
- African-American members of Baptist Grove Church moved structure off Square, with the condition that it always be used for worship by African Americans
- Establishment of Eastern Ward School; anyone with funds for books invited to attend; later became the NC Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy, which performed military drills on Square
- First presence of buildings on Square
1866-1914: Transitional
- Union African-American soldiers utilized Square for sleeping quarters for 5 years
- Square used as temporary farmers market
- Formal design with cross and diagonal walks implemented
- Commercial district along Hargett and Wilmington streets expanded toward areas adjacent to Square
- Property adjacent to Square became residential and commercial in nature
- Square became city's most popular park
1914-1964: Commercial
- Harrison Library established itself as a central feature in local African-American culture, serving as a repository of African-American history and culture, and promoting African-American literature and music
- African-American owned businesses on "Black Main Street" stretched along Hargett toward Moore Square
- City Market located adjacent to Square; historically significant as an integrated space
- Impromptu paths linking surrounding uses appeared, with decline of formal cross form
- Decline of Moore Square began with rise of suburbanization
1964-2009: Communal
- Efforts to revitalize the city began, which included festivals held in Moore Square beginning in the 1970s
- Moore Square Art District, Moore Square National Register Historic District, and local Moore Square Historic District created
- Removal of cross form walk, impromptu paths made permanent, addition of curvilinear walks
- Moore Square Middle School and Exploris Museum and charter school located adjacent to Square
- Farmers Market returned
Next Steps

- City Council comments on design concept
- Public comments on design concept
- City Council approves design team and master plan process
- Public comments on draft master plan
- Finalize master plan for public review and adoption

axle u joints
my friend wanted me to ask about how long will it take to replace the U joints on the front axle.
If the unit bearing isn't rusted in place requiring a bunch of persuasion with a hammer or other means, I'd say about an hour per side.
As stated first plan for a few hours for the job.. also depending how rust the the retaining clips are.. you may find you need to cut the joint out...

Bottle's contents reveal story of tragedy, love 's
Back in May, former Tunica resident Chris Ungren and a couple of his employees were making a routine sweep along a sandbar near Fitzgeralds Casino on the Mississippi River.
The fishing and hunting guide was using the time in his offseason to find driftwood, which he sells to taxidermists and crafts people. But in addition to driftwood, one of his employees made a startling discovery along the bar.
It was a wine bottle. And inside the bottle was something no one expected to see.
Thanks to Our Veterans
The Town of Tunica marked the 10th anniversary of the dedication of the Veterans Memorial with a November 10 program to pay tribute to veterans. All veterans in the audience were asked to stand, with each branch of the services and their local representatives recognized as their anthem was performed by Ken and Mary Sipley.
Home Cooking: Bailey makes recipes her own
When Lee Cobb Bailey finds a recipe she really likes, it's very seldom that the finished product ends up on the table with the same exact ingredients called for in the recipe. That's because she likes to add her own personal touches to make it uniquely different.
"I've never been a from-scratch cook," admits the 33-year-old stay-at-home mother of two. "I usually find a recipe that I can easily get the ingredients from home. Then I can add something to it to make it my own."
Reared in Tunica County, Bailey remembers watching her mother cook at a very early age. She also remembers her very first encounter in the kitchen, which she says was not a fond memory.
Obama wins second term
On Election Night 2012, President Barack Obama won both the electoral count and the popular vote over Republican challenger Mitt Romney in the November 6 General Election. Unofficial totals (at press time Wednesday) show Obama with 303 electoral votes nationwide to Romney's 206. The popular vote was closer: Obama, 59,725,608, or 50 percent, to Romney, 57,098,650, 48 percent.
Turnout was robust across the country but not as high as in 2008, according to national media reports.
Voters also returned U.S. Senator Roger Wicker and 2nd District Congressman Bennie Thompson to their posts in Congress. The Democrat Party retained control of the Senate, 51 seats to 45 for the Republicans, while the Republican Party held on to their majority in the House, 232 to 191.

Josh Lueke, one of four players sent to Seattle in the Cliff Lee trade, faced rape and sodomy charges last summer in Bakersfield, Calif. He pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of false imprisonment with violence, and was sentenced to 40 days in jail.
Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik insists his front office did its due diligence looking into the criminal past of one of the four prospects he acquired in Friday's trade of Cliff Lee.
Josh Lueke, 25, a 6-foot-5, 220-pound right-handed relief pitcher in Class AA, faced rape and sodomy charges in Bakersfield, Calif., last summer, but later pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of false imprisonment with violence. Lueke was sentenced to 40 days in prison, but was freed with time already served after agreeing to the plea bargain.
"We take this stuff very seriously," Zduriencik said. "And all of the questions that we asked all of the (Rangers) officials over there, they assured us that the issues were none that they had any concern about as they moved forward, and for the last couple of years, he's been a model citizen."
Pleading no contest carries the same legal weight as a guilty plea, but sentencing is often more immediate and less harsh.

Lueke was arrested and jailed last year after a police investigation into a May 2008 incident in which a woman met several minor-league players after attending a Bakersfield Blaze Class A game. She accompanied them to bars afterward and then to an apartment shared by Lueke and a teammate.
She said she passed out, and when she awoke the next morning, articles of her clothing were missing.
On May 27, 2009, Lueke was arrested and charged with rape and sodomy. The probable cause statement for arrest stated that semen found on the victim was a DNA match for Lueke.
He was jailed on $150,000 bail and remained there until his plea deal was struck.
Lueke had maintained that he was out partying with the woman and his teammates but that he never raped or had sex with her.
The Rangers placed Lueke on their suspended list, but reinstated him last summer after his plea deal.
This season, he has held opponents to a combined .209 batting average in Class A and AA, while striking out 62 batters in 38-1/3 innings. He throws a mid-90s fastball and also a slider and splitter.
"According to everything they told us and everything they've given us … it's an issue that's cleared and it's behind him," Zduriencik said.

Brazil Sets Trade Records, Due To Chinese Demand
Brazil had record trade figures in 2011, logging $256 billion in exports and maintaining a $29.7 billion surplus on the back of high commodity prices and strong Chinese demand, officials said Monday.
Exports to China hit $44.3 billion, an increase of more than 43 percent over 2010. In 2009 China surpassed the U.S. as Brazil's biggest trading partner.
"It was an exceptional year for Brazilian foreign trade," said Alessandro Teixeira, deputy trade minister, who said China represented 17 percent of Brazil's exports.
Brazil's booming middle class and its growing consumption also led to a record year for imports into Latin America's biggest economy, with $226.3 billion worth of goods flowing into the nation, an increase of 25 percent over 2010.
Brazil is a commodities superpower, and Teixeira said strong production and high prices for iron ore, soybeans and crude oil aided the trade balance.
The Trade Ministry said total trade with China was $77.1 billion.
That outpaced trade with the U.S., Brazil's No. 2 partner with $60.1 billion in bilateral trade. Argentina was Brazil's third-largest partner in trade, with a total of $39.6 billion flowing between the two nations.
Teixeira, announcing the figures at a news conference, said the ministry expects 2012 to be another record year for Brazilian trade.
He warned, however, there are concerns about the continuing crisis in Europe and if it could contribute to a slowdown in China's economic expansion.
Should China's growth slow, it would not only dampen its appetite for Brazil's commodities, but may trigger a drop in global prices for those goods, hurting Brazil across the board.
However, Teixeira said Brazil has rapidly diversified its trading partners in the past decade, and that the nation is working to deepen trade with several nations and blocs, principally looking to Africa as a continent where Brazil could see large future growth in exports.

Pat Robertson Warns Courts Are Ushering In Homosexuality While Attacking Churches
Pat Robertson said today that he was "disgusted" by the Supreme Court's decision not to hear an appeal from the Elmbrook School District, which had asked the high court to reverse a Seventh Circuit Court ruling that found the district in violation of the First Amendment for holding a graduation ceremony in the sanctuary of an evangelical church.
The federal appeals court wrote that "the environment was pervasively Christian, obviously aimed at nurturing Christian beliefs and gaining new adherents among those who set foot inside the church."
"The American people wouldn't have voted in homosexuality, but the courts did; the American people wouldn't have voted in same-sex marriage, but the courts did; the American people wouldn't have given up on the Ten Commandments and prayer in schools, but the courts insisted on it," the 700 Club host said today. "A few unelected judges, just a few, have distorted the history of our nation to give us something that we never intended to have, and something has got to be done about it."
Robertson also accused the courts of trying to force the church in question to "smash out the stained glass windows that show Jesus so it won't be offensive to the ACLU."

Easty, I have never been to Bar Harbor, but am planning on a June or July trip. I will study your recommendations! Bordello
Stunning photos of one of my most favorite New England towns.
Informative and interesting narratives to accompany the lovely pictures.
love the East Coast! The fog makes it even better :-)
Nice pages, Joe. Thanks for the updates. This place will be almost last on our travels, but actually top of my list!
This is definitely a scenic part of Maine, but also a trifle pricey compared to some of its other locations!
Bar Harbor is beautiful and so is most of New England. Love those lobsters!
Thats quite a view from the Mountain. Lovely area overall
that lobster looks good!
Lobsters are good, I just don`t like to work hard getting at

The latest edition of the Guinness World Records book has just been published, and as you might expect it features a wealth of strange, fascinating and arguably pointless records within its pages.
The 2012 edition of the book, which is now in its 57th year, includes such illustrious record holders as Rob Hull, owner of the world's largest collection of Daleks (571), Christine 'the Duchess' Walton and her record-breaking finger nail (10 foot 2 inches) and the owner of the world's largest afro.
Other records featured in the weighty tome range from the world's most pierced man, the longest tongue and the world's fastest wedding chapel, alongside the usual selection of quickest, largest and strongest animals, humans and machines.
We've collected some of the best and silliest records in the gallery, below. Let us know in the comments if you're a record breaker, or if you're not which record you think you could smash.

The Dalek empire itself probably has more than that, but so far its existence has not been verified by the Guinness officials. So no record. Photo Credit: Ranald Mackechnie/Guinness World Records
Cecilie Skog has completed the 'Three Poles' challenge in the quickest ever time. (That's reaching the North and South Pole as well as the top of Mount Everest, if you have to ask). She was inducted into the record book in 2011.
Barrington Irving is the youngest person to have flown solo around the world. He was 23 when he completed the feat.
Christine 'The Dutchess' Walton from Las Vegas, USA, is the proud owner of the world's longest fingernails. The nails, measuring 10ft 2in (309.8cm) on her left hand and 9ft 7in (292.1cm) on her right hand, are featured in the new Guinness World Records 2012 book.

When Bruce Scifres is asked to reflect on his 25 years as head football coach at Roncalli High School, one expects to be regaled with stories of the Rebels' six state championships.
Or of the program's 74 percent winning mark over that span.
Or of his ability to take sometimes less heralded and undersized players and transform them into overachieving teams.
But not Scifres. Not now.
Oh, the coach confesses, he still wants to win "more than anyone." And the on-field success is certainly a matter of satisfaction. But they are not what matter most when looking back.
No, perspiration and perseverance have given way to perspective.
"I feel like over my career, I've become a better man," Scifres said while watching practice recently. "I've become a better person, a better husband, a better father because of my experience here at Roncalli.
"We hear that coaches are an inspiration to their team, that they help their players grow and become better men. In a very real sense, I feel like I've become a better man."
It's not the kind of highlight-reel memory that one expects from the dean of area coaches.
Those who know him best, though, attest to the genuineness of the reflection.
"Every angle I have seen just emphasizes what a great man he is," said Pat Kuntz, who played nose tackle on Roncalli's three consecutive state championship teams from 2002 through 2004 and now is the Rebels' defensive coordinator. "He is the man you want coaching your kids, and it has nothing to do with football."
Sure, Scifres is an X's and O's coach, who can game plan and motivate with the best. It is something more, though, that those around him point to.
"He has a strong belief in God, and that belief pervades our football program from top to bottom," athletics director Dave Toner said.
Humility and faith set the tone for the entire program, he continued.
"A coaching staff that demands much but does not swear; players that practice and play with great intensity but also great sportsmanship; and students that support both our coaches and players with wonderful enthusiasm and support throughout each fall season, regardless of our potential championship possibilities during any particular season, are the hallmark of Roncalli Rebel football."
'Belief in sticking together'
That support was no more evident, Kuntz recalls, than early in the 2002 season. The program was reeling with the death of a teammate and two players' fathers in a matter of a few weeks.
A promising season started with four straight losses as the team came to grips with the emotional uppercut.
"We were so low," Kuntz recalled. "There were tears at practice many days.
"Coach Scifres just kept instilling a belief in sticking together, in the brotherhood on that team. We listened. I didn't think about anything except what coach Scifres said. That was my world."
Soon, things began to turn around, spurred by a focused defense that allowed only eight points a game starting with a 42-7 turnaround against Elkhart Central.
"We never lost another game in that run," said Kuntz, then a sophomore. Indeed, the Rebels put together 10 straight wins, including a sectional win over Cathedral and the state title against Fort Wayne Dwenger.
Two more titles followed for those teams, which included Kuntz, who went on to anchor the defensive line at Notre Dame, and safety Jason Werner, who played for Purdue. Both are now on Scifres' staff.
Altogether, Scifres' 24 teams have won six state titles and 74 percent of their games.
"The tradition of football success here at Roncalli never wavers, and our expectations for success are always very high, regardless of the talent level of our players in any particular year due to coach Scifres and his coaching staff's efforts and expectations," Toner said.
'Strength and belief'
That success stems from a knack for rising about the clutter of team competition and outside distractions, Kuntz said.
"From a player perspective, I admire the ability of Bruce to motivate a group of young men and all focus on the same goal and with the same mindset," he said. "I would do anything for him as a player. People underestimate that ability. The strength and belief all come from him."
That belief goes far beyond football for Scifres, who has publicly shared his faith with others along the way, especially exhorting the young men in his program to become good husbands and fathers.
The coach has written and self-published two books, "Beyond The Goal Line — The Quest For Victory In The Game Of Life" and "A Real Man — A Guide To Becoming The Men Our Wives, Children And God Want Us To Be."
That faith perspective comes from his parents, who raised eight children in Plainfield and just celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary this year. It was honed under the coaching of Kermit Davis at Plainfield and Bill Sylvester at Butler, where the young Scifres was a star running back and later inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame. It was tested and polished with his wife, Jackie, as the couple raised two girls and two boys, the latter playing for the Rebels.
In each book, Scifres intertwines the story of his teams with the quest to pursue a better life off the field.
The second book is dedicated to officer David Moore, a former player who died in the line of duty as an Indianapolis police officer just a few weeks before publication in 2011.
Scifres' work on and off the field have left their mark on other coaches as well.
"Coach Scifres has been very important to me personally and as a coach," said Indianapolis Chartard coach Vince Lorenzano, whose Trojans have become Roncalli's biggest rival. "His approach to coaching has always put the players ahead of his own agenda, and this has taught me about what being a selfless coach is."
'A faith-based process'
As with others, though, those football compliments give way to something bigger.
"Coach Scifres has been instrumental helping me in approaching life in a faith-based process. He is a friend and a mentor to me, and I have always appreciated his support," Lorenzano said.
Therein lies the message. After 25 years, Scifres is the dean of southside football coaches, with the titles and trophies as testament to his success.
But life is not only about Friday nights. Certainly, coaching is a special calling for the father of four, but it also is a platform for something more important.
"I've always cherished being able to see these guys come back years later with their children," he said. "To see these guys become good husbands and fathers is very rewarding."
Toner echoes the sentiment.
"Bruce is a good friend, has coached both of my sons, who each went on to play college football, and is one of the best men I have ever had the occasion to meet and to know. He is a wonderful husband, father and leader of young men; and their lives are better for having played for him while here at Roncalli."

Walters will run for Position 5 against challenger Mike Dalesandro, while Reinhold will run for Position 4 against Chris Regan.
"There were more (filings) than normal this year," Kimsey said.
Washougal saw two late editions. Lisa Voeltz and lawyer George Kolin filed to run against incumbent Councilman Paul Greenlee for Position 3. Meanwhile, former councilman Rodney Morris filed to run against incumbent Councilman David Shoemaker for Position 6.
Jeanie Moran filed on deadline day to run for Washougal School Board, Position 3. She will face Eva-Marie Mull and Blaine Peterson.

We had a fantastic time at Clumber Park. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to make us comfortable. Really enjoyed the spa and the treatments were fantastic. Had a lovely night's sleep and breakfast the next morning was great. The only disappointment was eating at the normanton inn - the food was average but overpriced i thought. It would have been nice if the courtyard restaurant was open on a Sunday. But this is only a small downside as everything else was great!

When you talk with employees about their performance reviews, beware of using common phrases that can unintentionally communicate the wrong message, or come across as too negative or personal.
Certain phrases can kill employee morale, weaken productivity or open up the organization to a discrimination lawsuit.
The Manager's Guide to Effective, Legal Performance Reviews
Your goal is to deliver reviews that help shape employees' performance without becoming sidetracked by anger, emotion or fear of conflict. To do so, avoid the following phrases:
1. "You're wrong." If an employee tries to explain why her job rating should have been higher, don't slap back with a Trump-like, "You're wrong." That will only trigger anger and more confrontation. Instead, turn back to your documented facts of the employee's performance and say, "I know you disagree, but I believe this evaluation accurately reflects your performance."
"What was your problem?" Don't use the question as a way to ask why an employee had difficulty completing a project or task. Employees will bristle at such a statement. Instead say, "What were the conditions from your perspective that made it difficult for you to complete the task?"
2. "I understand." This phrase can excuse unacceptable performance or behavior by conveying empathy. Avoid it when possible.
3. "Your position here is solid as long as you keep up the good work." You may intend such statements to encourage good performance, but they're legally dangerous because they imply an employment contract that a court could find binding. That limits the organization's ability to ever fire the person (see below).
4. "You really did a great job but ... " Whatever comes after the "but" negates the preceding compliment. Don't directly connect praise with constructive criticism. Instead say, "On the other hand, you can do even better by making these improvements." Then, cite them specifically.
- A 6-point checklist to prepare for the review session, plus 10 tips to conduct more effective reviews
- 5 evaluation tools that help rehabilitate problem employees
- 3 types of employee rating scales, from the simplest to the most complex
Using the wrong employment-related terminology with an employee can expose the organization to all kinds of costly lawsuits. Here are two of the most common examples:
1. 'Permanent employee'
"Employment at-will" is the rule in most states. That means you can fire an employee at any time, for any reason (except an unlawful one, like race discrimination), as long as you don't promise a job for a specific period of time.
But too many managers don't realize that labeling someone a "permanent employee" essentially promises a job for life, or at least until retirement age. And that can destroy the employee's at-will status.
Managers often make the mistake of referring to employees as "permanent employees" when the employee passes their 60- or 90-day probationary period.
Advice: Start using the term "regular employee."
2. 'Layoff'
Use the term "layoff" only when you end an employment relationship due to lack of work. If you end the relationship for any other reason, call it a "discharge."
Can this little word become a big deal? You bet.
For example, if the unemployment office is told the employee was "laid off," even though you fired him for stealing, the employee could be deemed eligible for unemployment compensation ... a part of which your company may have to pay. Even more costly is misusing the term when dealing with a government agency investigating a discrimination charge.
