Sophomore Ashleigh Rushing posted a 76, just one stroke behind twin sister Cassie Rushing in day one of the MVC Championships
April 22, 2012
By Megan Kramper
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Southern Illinois women's golf team sits in a tie for sixth place after the opening round of the Missouri Valley Conference Championship Sunday.
The Salukis struggled in the opening round, shooting a team score of 313 led by Cassie Rushing, who tied for sixth place after 18 holes at the Country Club of Terre Haute. They are tied with host Indiana State heading into tomorrow's second of three rounds.
Rushing posted a 75 in the first round as she birdied three holes but was set back on the 18th where she posted a double bogey.
Ashleigh Rushing was tabbed as the Salukis No. 5 golfer heading into the tournament but posted the second-best round of the day in a tie for 11th with a 76.
The remaining three Salukis carded rounds in the 80s as Shaina Rennegarbe tied for 30th with an 80 and Alisha Matthews tied for 39th with an 82. Margaret Gilley finished with a tied for 41st performance shooting an 84.
"It was a disappointing first day but with two more rounds left I am optimistic we can bounce back," SIU head coach Alexis Mihelich said.
Northern Iowa leads the field of 10 teams with a 299 and Katie Tabbert leading the way as she posted an even par 72 in Sunday's round. Missouri State (300), Bradley (305), Illinois State (305), and Wichita State (311) round out the top five in day one.
Round two is set for a 9:30 a.m. CT start and will be a round of 18 holes. The tournament is a 54-hole tournament set for conclusion on Tuesday.

(note: This blog post has been edited from its initial form, and will likely continue to be edited in the near future. This editing is in response to the correct summary that it was originally too alarmist, and that's not a tone that I like or support. So I'm trying to improve the flow of the entry. If you have suggestions or factual corrections, please comment below)
In a real way, lithium batteries make modern life possible. They're in everything that needs extended battery power, like cellphones, laptops, tablets, and so on. They are largely very safe devices (if they weren't, you'd be able to tell since practically everyone carries a lot of them, and you don't notice people catching on fire everywhere), but under certain conditions, they can fail, and when they do fail, it's in a spectacular fashion.
Battery technology hasn't made any revolutionary changes in the past couple of decades, but has been more of a constant stream of improvements from the typical zinc-carbon battery that were (and still are) commonly found on the shelf, to the "alkaline" batteries (so called because it uses an alkaline electrolyte), on up to the current crop of higher performance batteries.
Depending on the use case, these high performance batteries today are typically Nickel/Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH), or Lithium Ion (Li-ion), although relatively recently, we've managed to produce Lithium Gel or Lithium polymer batteries (which are kind of like Li-ion, but
designed to be safer, although they're still subject to the same kinds of problems I'll be describing. For the sake of laziness, I'll refer to all relevant types of Lithium batteries as Li-ion).
The use case for these batteries varies depending on the application, because the key differences are power density (NiMH and Li-ion are both comparatively good), the power curve during discharge, and well, cadmium is like, really, really bad for you.
Because it is so very energy-dense, we use Li-ion batteries for most modern computing hardware. Your mobile phone almost certainly has a Li-ion battery in it, as does your laptop computer. Any other fun gadgets that don't take off the shelf AA or AAA batteries probably do as well.
You may already know this, but although your laptop might have a single monolithic battery that you plug into it, contained within that single battery is very likely a series of smaller "cells", seen above.
Most of the cells are wired together in series so that they can push enough voltage to power the equipment, and a couple more are put together in parallel to boost the amperage. Chances are good that you have either a 6-cell or a 9-cell battery in your laptop. The more cells, the more electricity your computer stores, obviously. Also, the more lithium you have, but we'll get to that shortly.
As it turns out, there are some problems with Li-ion batteries (and really, all of the batteries listed above, but we don't keep half a dozen cells of the others on our laps at all times). It seems that they're only stable up to around 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit). Much above that and they have a tendency to…well, explode. Violently.
On September 3rd, 2010, a UPS cargo flight crashed outside of Dubai. A large portion of its cargo consisted of Li-ion batteries (and devices with them). It's not conclusive what caught on fire originally, but for our purposes, it doesn't matter a lot. Raising the temperature of a Li-ion battery above the 140F mark leads to a compromised cell which causes an explosion and a resulting fire.
So what is it about 60C that causes the problem? At that temperature, lithium undergoes what's called "thermal runaway". The lithium begins to outgas, trying to lose heat, but when it can't, either because the outgassing is blocked, the source of heat is external, or it is gaining heat more rapidly than it can lose it, the heat builds up. In any of these cases, the runaway feeds back on itself, causing more heat, more pressure, etc, until an explosion occurs.
Now, one of the important considerations here is that this happens per cell. Remember how we have 6 or 9 of them in our laptops? Yeah, exactly. One cell can overheat, start a thermal runaway, explode, and in the process, catch the device itself on fire. Which, of course, applies heat to the other cells. And repeat.
These kinds of events aren't all that rare. These are the reason that every once in a while a laptop manufacturer will issue a battery recall. It's because one (or more likely several) batteries exploded, and the company's insurance underwriters deemed it cheaper to replace a bunch of faulty batteries than pay the likely lawsuits from the people hurt or killed by the explosions.
In fact (and what prompted this article in the first place), the Reddit user Ajass just posted a series of pictures on the aftermath of his coworker's notebook exploding. Here, take a look:
When I asked what it acted like, he said…
It wasn't so much a fire per say. More like one of those little jumping jack fireworks you get on the 4th. It did poof a flame about a foot high and than just sizzled mostly…
So I became curious, and after researching, I found a very sobering video.
If you've traveled on a plane, you know that you have several Li-ion batteries with you at all times, and so does everyone else. That's several hundred potential bombs on every flight, so it figures that the FAA would have spent some time dealing with the ramifications.
Here's a 10 minute video that they produced to help train on-flight staff to deal with the eventuality of a lithium battery fire while in the air:
(if you can't see that video, you can get to it here)
Before watching that video, I was under the impression that the best defense against a laptop fire was a Class D Type 2, copper powder fire extinguisher. I was wrong.
The real problem isn't the burning lithium (although that's certainly bad); it's the potential of one explosion to cause a thermal runaway in the other cells. For that reason, liquids like water are very useful in preventing the reaction.
The flames that you see are almost certainly not the lithium burning, but the casing and materials of the laptop. Those can be dealt with using a regular ABC extinguisher. Once the fire is out, cool down the battery as quickly as possible.
Also of interest might be a great entry that I ran into while researching this blog post: Bob Burtis's Six Deadly Myths of Lithium Batteries. I can't honestly say that I have fact-checked every line item, but the ones that I knew and came across were all right. Here's an informative tidbit:
What is the real culprit with Lithium Polymer Batteries? As a battery ages or is abused, its chemistry changes. Lithium Batteries develop Lithium Salts, which raises the internal resistance of the cell much like the sulfating of a Lead/Acid battery. When you pass a current through a resistance you develop heat and as I've already pointed out several times, it is heat that triggers the chemical reaction within the cell.
So remember, if you're faced with a situation like this, try to stop the runaway. You saw the FAA video above; the most effective defense against the fire was a pure water extinguisher, but barring that, just pour as much water on as you can to get the cells cooled to below 60C.
Assuming that your interest is now piqued at least a bit, you might want to spend some time at Battery University, a free educational site put together by Cadex, a battery-electronics company.
I hope you enjoyed learning this as much as I did while I was researching this entry. I was genuinely surprised to see that water was the best defense, but it is something that I'll keep in mind. You should too. Just file it away with the other information that you hope you never need.

The venue at the Napa Opera House are very cozy & allows for a very personal 1 on 1 with the guest. Lisa Loeb was wonderfully engaging, funny & her music is amazing sounding live with just a guitar at 8 months pregnant. We were able to purchase concert merchandise prior to or after the concert in the lobby where drinks were offered for purchase - you're in Napa you have to have a glass of wine! After the show Lisa came downstairs to sign the concert merchandise & was so genuinely friendly not to mention her beautiful quirky self. We would not have known of the concert had we not seen it on Goldstar & we would have missed out on this perfect evening.

Not for me but for my 4 year old. He's been vomiting all night and is now to the point where he is choking and dry heaving rolling on the floor and then passes back out. He's very lathargic and won't drink anything even though his mouth is so dry he can't swallow.
He's autistic so he can't explain where on his stomach or what hurts, he was acting normal until about 20 min after he fell asleep tonight when he started getting sick.
All I can say is wow to the quantity that has come out of his mouth tonight and as a mom to not be able to make it better sucks.

Trying to shed some holiday pounds. Which beer is the best? MGD 64 or Select 55?
I like MGD 64 and I am normally not a fan of Miller products. Bud Select 55 had little to no taste.
I'd try four loko.
No I am a man.

Yea men don't drink beers with under 100 calories... Spare me
Same deal for me. Need to drop some pounds and wife pointed out the beer I was drinking was almost 300 cals a pop.
Bud Select as someone else pointed out is very watered down tasting but it's still OK. I prefer Mich Ultra to Bud Select, it's like 95 cals per.
Haven't tried the MGD 64 yet.
Water tastes better than either of those and it has about the same effect.
Mich Ultra is pretty solid, IMO. I can handle Bud Select, but I've always preferred very light beers to the thicker stuff.
Your better off shedding holiday weight by drinking less, exercise, and proper dieting. I will do any of these three before I take away my occasional micro-brew or bud heavy.
I'd rather drink fewer good beers and workout more.
The Bud was like water that somebody spilled beer into. I'm no beer snob but it was horrible.
I'm not a fan of either, but I know people who do drink it will add a slice of lime or orange wedge to help the flavor a little bit.
Be a man and drink real beer. You may be surprised to learn that Guiness Draught only has 126 calories.

Ex-Washington Huskies guard Nate Robinson scored 12 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Chicago Bulls to an 87-86 victory over visiting Orlando.
CHICAGO — Nate Robinson showed no fear down the stretch, scoring 12 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Chicago Bulls to an 87-86 victory over the Orlando Magic on Friday night.
Robinson, who made the go-ahead basket with 22 seconds left the previous night in a 92-90 victory at Brooklyn, came through in the clutch again.
The former standout for the Washington Huskies and Rainier Beach High School in Seattle scored nine points during an 18-4 run that turned a five-point deficit into an 87-78 lead.
"I'm not afraid to fail," Robinson said. "You're going to have to fail a lot to succeed in this game. You can't be afraid to take that shot."

Anthony-led Knicks
win 11th in a row
NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony scored 41 points, tying a franchise record with his third game with at least 40, and the New York Knicks beat Milwaukee 101-83 for their 11th straight victory.
Anthony, who had 50 points and 40 in his previous two games, equaled Bernard King's record set in 1984.
• The Denver Nuggets will be without forward Danilo Gallinari, who averaged 16.2 points, for the rest of the season. Tests showed the 24-year-old tore a ligament in his left knee in a 95-94 victory over Dallas on Thursday.
Gallinari planted his left leg awkwardly going for a layup.

Thunder notebook: OKC still the best in the West
The Thunder lost 104-103 at home on Tuesday night after getting outscored 13-1 in the final 2½ minutes against Houston. It was OKC's third loss in its last six starts.
But when it was suggested before Thursday night's game at the Pepsi Center that OKC might be losing its grip as the best team in the Western Conference, Denver coach George Karl rolled his eyes.
"You could say the same thing about the Miami Heat," Karl said. "They've lost two in a row. I still think Oklahoma City has proven to me that they're the best team in the West now. It's a short trial period. We usually have 60 games at this time in the season. We've got 40 games in now.
"I love their Big Three (of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden). I love how (coach) Scotty (Brooks) handles 'em. It'll be interesting (in the postseason). … We kind of like playing 'em. We enjoyed the playoff series last year, and we enjoyed the last game we played against them."
The Thunder then went out and posted a 103-90 victory against Denver for its ninth win against the Nuggets in the last 11 meetings.
Serge Ibaka had 11 blocked shots against Denver in the season's previous meeting on Feb. 19, which was a 124-118 Thunder victory.
Asked if there was anything his team would try to do to curtail Ibaka's blocks, Karl said: "I don't think so. Our philosophy is (to attack the basket offensively). That's what we do. I know he got 11 blocks, but we still got 70 (actually 72) points in the paint that game. Would I sacrifice 10 blocked shots for 70 in the paint? I'd take that right now.
"I think our guys understand when they're trying to score against two or three guys, the simple play is what you have to go to. You can't make a tough, complicated play in the NBA, unless you're a special, special player. And even then, I think if there's two guys on you, the game says find the open man."
Saddled with foul trouble, Ibaka had three blocks on Thursday.
The Thunder turned 16 Denver turnovers into 24 points. OKC had just five second-half turnovers and finished with 13. … The Thunder has beaten the Nuggets nine of the last 10 meetings, but Denver had won 12 of the previous 13. … Denver had 72 points in the paint in this year's previous meeting. On Thursday, the Nuggets had 52 points in the paint. … OKC had 22 assists, its fourth straight game with 20-plus. … The Thunder made 12 of 25 (. 480) from 3-point range and 24 of 55 (. 436) from 2-point range.
The Thunder's next two games will be at Chesapeake Energy Arena, but both will start 90 minutes later than usual thanks to ESPN.
Tipoffs will be at 8:30 p.m. when OKC hosts San Antonio on Friday and Portland on Sunday.
The Devon Energy KD35 Ball, an inaugural fundraiser benefiting the newly formed Kevin Durant Family Foundation, will be held March 31 at the Skirvin Hotel. The event is designed to launch a fundraising effort that will support the Foundation's charitable giving plans.
Guided by Durant and his mother, Wanda Pratt, the foundation's vision is to "play forward" Durant's own priorities of helping children and families to succeed. Donations to the foundation will support after-school and summer programs, single parents and education. The foundation will also support Durant's plans for expanding his holiday giving activities for children.
The KD35 Ball will feature a dinner, dance and entertainment by Grammy-winning hip-hop violinist, Miri Ben-Ari. The silent and live auctions, presented by Riverwind Casino, will offer attendees the chance to support the foundation while providing donors with a chance to obtain unique experience packages, sports memorabilia, and more.
"It didn't surprise me when Kevin mentioned to me he wanted to set up a family foundation, because he understands the importance of giving support to others," Pratt said in a statement. "I've been proud of him since the day he was born, and I'm glad to help him in this latest endeavor to enrich the lives of others."
A limited number of corporate sponsorships and tables are still available. For more information call (405) 418-3870 or visit KD35Ball.com.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) McCollum sent the U.S. District Attorney's office in Tampa a letter Wednesday urging action. Since this summer, the tribe has been offering Las Vegas-style slot machines and card games at its casino in Hollywood under an agreement struck with Gov. Charlie Crist.
The state Supreme Court has since struck down that compact, but
the games continue. McCollum says the fact that the tribe is
expanding blackjack to its Tampa and Immokalee casinos shows it
doesn't respect the law.
Neither the tribe nor the U.S. Attorney's office responded
immediately Thursday to messages requesting comment.

It was a wonderful experience and I felt very lucky to see both shows that night. It was a perfect size venue and Freddy Cole seemed very pleased with the audience's "love" for him. If you don't already know about Issac Delgado - check him out -...continued

Excellent event. Delgado is a mesmirizing vocalist. All is Spanish, which I was good with. As my friend said, "first time I have been to a concert where I didn't understand a word and was totally into it." Appearing with Delgado was Freddy Cole....continued

Quotes & Highlights
Hear Issac and Freddy perform "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas"# on YouTube.
"Delgado, often referred to as salsa's Frank Sinatra, teams up with Freddy Cole… [who] is enjoying one of jazz's most productive late-blooming careers." —San Jose Mercury-News
Sony Masterworks recently releases L-O-V-E_ by Cuban superstar Issac Delgado. On _L-O-V-E, Delgado recreates 12 sultry and sexy Spanish recordings originally sung by crooner Nat King Cole. He does so with the help of a number of outstanding musicians including a special contribution by Nat King Cole's brother, Freddy Cole. This is the first time that Freddy Cole has participated in a tribute album for his brother.
Nat King Cole's relationship with the Spanish language is interesting and relatively unknown. Between 1958 and 1962, Nat King Cole released his three albums in Spanish. Recorded in Cuba, Brazil and Mexico, they included hits "Perfidia," "Quizas, quizas, quizas," "Ay cosita linda," "Piel canela," "Aquellos ojos verdes" and "Yo vendo unos ojos negros." His Spanish albums created a new awareness for Latin-American music globally. Among Nat King Cole's fans was Cuban vocalist Issac Delgado who grew up listening to Cole's Spanish recordings which he felt combined Cuban bolero music with the sounds of classic American romantic ballads.

I'm used to middle-clicking tabs in Firefox, and finding myself instinctively middle-clicking taskbar icons, expecting it to close them, and annoyed when it opens a new instance instead. Is there something that can make this happen?

KC: Kirika Standford by demicintaapatakbisaWatch
©2013-2016 demicintaapatakbisa
EDIT: Special Thank You for *SarimNarim for the check and ~Teruko-san for introducing me to this casino
HD: sta.sh/02ame5369jn9
Name: Kirika Standford
Age: 24
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 147 lbs
Path: Staff Team
Branch: Scientist
Willpower: 0 / 3
Nay, too whimsical.
Defence: 3 / 3
For some reason, her immunity and health is far above that of an average human. The last time she got sick was 9 years ago, and it was a light cold.
Strength: 0 / 3
Nay, nerds.
Stamina: 3 / 3
Carefree means I don't care means lowest stress level means I can handle a lot of things. The tenacity towards experiments is also one thing.
Speed: 0 / 3
Nay, I'm not a ninja.
Charisma: 0 / 3
Nay, does not get along with people.
Kirika works independently, to the point she almost always ignores what the higher ups' orders are. She does whatever she wants and whenever she wants, and while this usually brings trouble to the people of her surroundings, she does not seem to care one bit. However, when it comes to her own stuffs, no one, absolutely no one is allowed to touch them. Even 1 mm, she'll know, and will conclude it as that you are willing to be her experiment subject.
While she seems to be the world's most carefree person, once she gets into something she's interested in (most likely involving the black matter), she will not sleep for at least 3 days, or longer until her fatigue catches up and she'll just collapse there and then.
Her obsession towards the black matter is not something to be taken lightly. She will do anything and everything to find out something new about them, so far as to sometimes release them on purpose to test how strong her creations are, but mostly wants her speciments come back alive no matter what condition they end up in, unless you can kill them in a more creative and newer way or you want to either get beheaded or experimented on personally by her.
It is not rare to see her threaten you with a sparkling smile when it involves recapturing a speciment.
Socializing? "Don't talk to me unless you have anything involving my babies."
Kirika was an orphan, being 'exotic' among her friends with distinguishable physical features. The girl had learned to ignore everybody else and only concentrate on what interested her. Even with minimal knowledge, she had shown interest in other living things and would often be seen hurting them or even dissecting them. The trouble kid, she had been, in her childhood.
Everything changed when an American family adopted her because of her unique traits. Before long, they moved to Kaiden to seek business opportunity and had Kirika attend schools.
She never complained and continued her studies monotonously, until the day she met the PPMs for the first time.
Her talent and efforts (not really) in one of her works caught the attention of the D'ARC and she received an offer to see some experiment subject that was not known among commoners. She accepted the offer and she fell in love with these 'experiment subjects' at first sight. She then started gathering informations from everywhere else she could get her hands on. Such interesting, cute creatures.
This little interest grew to be an obsession which stayed and continuously grew bigger even after she graduated university and decided to let the company recruit her as a scientist, so that she would be able to touch and experiment on these cuties.
Supposed Nationality: Japanese/Irish
=Speaks both Japanese and English fluently but does not know other language
=Is asexual (self proclaimed)
=Her strong physical endurance and aloofness are probably why she never actually feels guilt for hurting or even sacrifice others for her needs at all as she can't comprehend how others feel and think
I love her outfit! And her size, and everything else! Yay!! ^_^
Aww thanks ^q^
That's actually
The European metric system
She's around 172 cm and 66kg |D

Afghan Border Police and soldiers with the 630th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company examine a crater the day after the controlled detonation of more than 80 pounds of homemade explosives found buried in an abandoned house during Operation Southern Strike II near Yaro Kalay, Afghanistan, June 5, 2012. The ABP-led operation focused on disrupting enemy formations in the vicinity of major passes, exploiting areas of interest as well as positive interactions with the local populous.

How to Make a Skit on YouTube
Two Methods:Things You'll NeedWarningCommunity Q&A
Have you ever needed a good idea for a skit? Well all YouTubers have. Here is an article to show what to do if that ever happens.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Think about your life and what you did that was exciting recently. For example, let's imagine you went on a trip to Canada. You could adapt it into a skit about people saying "Eh?" Make a casual trip into a skit.
2Make sure your skit has good dialogue. You need to make sure it has conversations and a plot, even if your skit is only 1 to 10 minutes.
An Example of Bad Dialogue:
Steve: And I was like "no way" to the bat cave.
Steve's Evil Twin: I love Paris.
See how the dialogue didn't make sense.
An Example of Good Dialogue:
Brenda: I be hating this place up in yah hood.
Eve: Yah me too, they have no Pizza Huts.
- An Example of Bad Dialogue:
3Consider the length. This is an important asset. If you make it too short, the audience most likely won't be interested enough to come back. If it's too long, the audience will get bored and not come back. A good normal length is around 4 to 7 minutes. That is usually good enough to make sure the audience will enjoy and keep coming back.
4Pick the right title and tags for your video. This is the simple part. The title should be accurate to what the theme is about. The tags should too be related to the skit. If it takes place in Italy, put "Italy" in the tags.
5Consider your setting. Every skit has to take place somewhere. If you're in a boring room with no sense of setting, the audience will have no idea where are.
6Take care of the props and backdrops. This is important, because it gives you an idea of where the setting is. It also makes the skit looks more realistic and brings excitement. It looks a lot better then no props.
- You could try using green screens. If you have no idea how to work a green screen, check out how to use one. You can find backdrops in various places, such as here on Amazon.
7Choose the actors for the skit. Try to choose out of friends or family. Depending on the type of skit, what actors you may pick varies. There are five types of skits: Action, Comedy, Drama, Horror, and Romance; the most popular of which is Comedy. The qualities you will want your actors to have for acting in a Comedy skit would be having a sense of humor, and being creative. Being both funny, and serious and critical at the same time is not a good combination.
8Write the description for the video. The description or a summary basically just gives a idea of the skit. There is such a thing as a bad description.
- Example of a Bad Description: This Skit includes stuff about a guy who does stuff. See it makes absolutely no sense so the audience most likely will leave the video.
Method 1
Things You'll Need
- Actors
- Video camera/digital camera
- Script
- Idea notebook
Method 2
- Try not to have a skit where the characters do bad things and get away with it. We have enough of that in society already.
- Do not expect a lot of views, even if your skit is good. It depends on what people search for.
- Don't act bored or too happy or excited, unless doing so is part of the script.
- Don't just create one skit and never make another one again. Continue to make many skits!

Skip James--Delta Bluesman
Mercurial Skip James was a Delta bluesman from Bentonia, Mississippi. His best known song is probably I'm So Glad, covered by Cream but my favorite is the haunting Hard Times Killin' Floor Blues.

Jeff Alexander
My life, in 60 seconds
I grew up in suburban Los Angeles. Moved to Michigan to play college hockey. What? Seriously. Hockey didn't work out. Settled on journalism. Met girl of my dreams (now wife) while in college. Encountered the wondrous Great Lakes. Never returned to California. Blessed with three wonderful children. Worked as a reporter and editor for 25 years at several Michigan newspapers. Wrote two books. Left the newspaper industry in 2009. Started my own writing and media consulting business (J. Alexander Communications). Now a contract writer for hire. I enjoy kayaking, hiking, reading, watching pro hockey and college football, traveling, exploring the Great Lakes and occasionally trying to rise above the rank of world's worst angler. And I blog about the Great Lakes because these freshwater seas are, in a word, incredible. Thanks for visiting!

Spartanburg named Playful City USA for eighth consecutive year
Published: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 4:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 4:53 p.m.
For the eighth consecutive year, a national nonprofit has named the city of Spartanburg a Playful City USA.
KaBOOM!, the nonprofit group that issues the distinction, named Columbia, Greenville, North Charleston and Rock Hill as other South Carolina playful cities, but Spartanburg is the lone designee to receive the distinction for eight years.
The recognition is a nod to the city's parks improvement plan, which council approved last year, and to the joint-use program with Spartanburg school districts 6 and 7 that allows residents to use playgrounds during the weekends and summers, said city Parks and Recreation Superintendent Kim Moultrie.
The city will install new playground equipment at Priscilla Rumley, Duncan Park, Happy Hollow, Hillcrest and Summerhill parks.
In addition, Moultrie said the city's Playful City application emphasized its work with various community partners, such as Partners for Active Living, to provide recreational opportunities.

Spring may not be fully here, but spring break has come and gone and a few of my friends have already complained of spring fever. I've had friends head to the Smoky Mountains and South Carolina over the past week. A lot of us don't have the time for that big of a spring fling, but here are a few ideas for an upcoming sunny afternoon, or if you're really lucky, a day off.

Chez BobThis French/Italian restaurant occupies the end of a strip mall in La Cueva Town Center at Paseo and Wyoming. Surprisingly, organic beef, free-range chicken and wild-caught salmon from the Fish Hugger are standard. The lunch menu is a pared-down version of the dinner menu in smaller, cheaper portions, while dinner includes European classics like beef Wellington and sole meunière. We still get happy thinking about a plate of immense diver scallops in a clarified beurre blanc, flanked with a rainbow of perfectly roasted yellow and purple potatoes. Have a soft spot for crepes? Chez Bob's, both sweet and savory, could hold their own on the streets of Paris. Seriously. (Alibi Staff, March 29, 2012)

This SF Symphony & the SF Symphony chorus were wonderful, as always. And with MTT directing it made attending this performance a highlight. I'm only giving it 2-stars because I didn't particularly like the violin soloist Gil Shaham. There seemed to be something missing as he performed the music. I mainly went to hear the vocal soloists in Part 2, but they didn't get to do too much. Unfortunately, I wasn't familiar with the music beforehand, and have come to the conclusion I'm not a Berg fan. Definitely go however if you want to hear the chorus take centerstage. Their sound is definitely wonderful.

San Francisco Symphony Chorus
Berg: Violin Concerto
Schubert: Mass No. 6
Part requiem, part showpiece, the great Berg concerto finds an ideal interpreter in Shaham, who has explored it for years and played it often. Schubert's Masses are glories of the choral repertory and this one is no exception.
About the Ticket Supplier: San Francisco Symphony
The San Francisco Symphony and Michael Tilson Thomas present more than 220 concerts each year from September through July in a variety of genres, with SFS musicians performing classical concerts, holiday favorites, summer pops events, free outdoor concerts, special series for families and children, plus presentations of visiting guest artists and orchestras from around the globe. The San Francisco Symphony also takes its unique style to audiences world-wide, touring nationally and internationally every year. The SFS is currently recording all the Mahler symphonies on its own media label and has recently launched Keeping Score, a national, multi-year, multi-media project bringing classical music to millions of Americans via TV, radio, the Internet and more.

I need to determine whether the mouse cursor is over a given
UIElement. The method should work even if another element is placed on top of it (because it has a bigger Zindex).
I tried using MouseEnter/Leave events but mouseenter does not trigger if the element is not the top most element.
Any ideas?

MUKILTEO, Wash. (AP) — A Seattle police detective accused of causing a four-car crash north of Seattle has pleaded not guilty to drunken driving.
Mukilteo, Wash., police reports say a nearly empty vodka bottle was found Thursday in the vehicle driven by 46-year-old John Fox of Everett.
Police in Mukilteo say Fox was driving an unmarked police SUV when he reportedly rear-ended another vehicle. That vehicle was pushed into two others. No serious injuries were reported.
Police say Fox refused to take a field sobriety test or submit to a blood alcohol breath test.
The Daily Herald says Fox did not comment after his brief appearance Friday in Everett District Court.
A Seattle police spokesman says the detective is a 23-year department veteran.
