Requests from individuals in Stone and Cleburne County have resulted in a proposal in the Arkansas legislature to require private club applicants in dry counties to obtain authorization from the city or county governing body before submitting the application to the Alcohol Beverage Control Board.
Rep. John Payton of Wilburn is the primary sponsor of House Bill 1387, which has been referred to the House Rules Committee and is set for this week's agenda in that committee.
Payton told the Leader on Friday that the measure is the best way for local people to express their views about a private club being established.
"This puts it in the hands of local elected officials," Payton said, "and returns some control to the people of the community."
"I don't see it as a road block," he noted. "it will be the best way to handle it."
The proposal requires that the city governing body or county quorum court consider the following factors:
- the number of private clubs currently in the county
- the likelihood of increased traffic or traffic accidents at the requested location of the private club
- the number and types of alcoholic beverage permits within one-fourth mile of the requested location
- the estimated economic impact of the requested private club
- the amount of available law enforcement to serve the private club and the residents
- the input of local law enforcement concerning the effect on public peace
- comments by the public concerning the private club
The bill has 22 cosponsors.

I have created a LeJOS extension for BlueJ which allows Java LeJOS apps to be compiled and run from inside BlueJ
A NetBeans template module for LeJOS which uses an ANT script which integrates with the normal NetBeans menus and build buttons. Once you have created a new project from the template, you don't even have to worry that it is not a normal General java app.
The NetBeans module still has a bit of work to do

As soon as I was of an acceptable weight and age (speculative), I started belaying my Dad. I grew up around climbing, climbers and the mountains. Father-son missions up cliffs or peaks was a regular outing. Although climbing was all around me, as a kid I was mostly occupied by skating, friends, snowboarding and mountain bike racing. Scrambling up a long 5.6 or 5.8 was something I did with Dad, and loved it, but it wasn't until I was around 18 that I developed my own relationship with climbing. I started bouldering in the hopes that I could beef up my upper body for downhill mountain bike racing - which was my passion at the time.
I immediately got hooked - like so many people I know. The movement, excitement, challenge, lifestyle, community…. I saw how much climbing had to offer, and fell in love. For years I climbed 6 or even 7 days a week, dragging friends up to Flagstaff Mountain after school and never missing a $5 bouldering night at the Spot gym. I cut my teeth on the front range, gradually improving over the years as I refused to rest and trained tirelessly. I made a home with the good people at the Boulder Rock Club and spent everyday climbing or setting routes throughout college. I climbed at local areas on the weekends and did a proper trip once or twice a year.
Traveling had been a driving passion of mine, and as soon as I really recognized what an incredible vehicle for travel climbing was, it all clicked. I finished my degree in Environmental Studies at Naropa University in Boulder, Co in the Spring on 2009, and hit the road, never looking back.
Climbing took over my life - my friends, my plans, my career, my thoughts, ambitions, dreams… and I couldn't be happier. Now-a-days I travel 10 or 11 months of the year, without a fixed address, always meeting amazing new characters, seeing incredible new landscapes and cultures. It's a life that I feel so very fortunate for. Arc'Teryx has proudly supported my pursuits for years - they make it all possible!
2014 was defined by my ambition to climb the legendary route, Biographie 5.15a, front and center at perhaps the best sport climbing venue in the world, Ceuse, France. I adopted a new training regiment and a new attitude for this climb. To stay sharp before my journey to Europe I polished off some lingering projects in the Las Vegas area including 'La Lune' 14d, 'Spectrum' 14c/d and 'Sacred and Profane' 14c. All first ascents. After a month of effort I joyously found success on Biographie on June 1st. Other routes like 'Lulu' 14d and 'Dur Limite' 14b kept me busy at Cuese for a short time longer before I fled the crowds for my first visit to Switzerland. Here I tackled a long time dream of mine to do the test-piece 'Speed Integrale' 14d and explore a variety of other cliffs around the incredible Swiss country-side. Back in the states I returned for my third year to the Fins in Idaho where I added several new 5.14s and even an incredible 13d R traditional route. During the fall I checked out the sublime routes and even better sunsets on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario before I ventured eastward to New England and eventually to Tennessee, on my way back to Colorado to unpack and start the training process all over again!
In 2015 I'm finally taking a climbing trip to lovely Catalunya, Spain and returning to Switzerland. I've got some unfinished business in the Alpine of Colorado lined up for the summer and more time on the road during the fall.
Stay in touch with my next adventure on my website jstarinorbit.com or my Facebook Page @jonathan.siegrist and my Twitter account @jstarinorbit and Instagram account (@jonathansiegrist) for frequent updates on what I'm up to!
The ultimate mountain jacket, and one of the most beautiful and impressive pieces Arc'teyrx makes. It's super compressible, very warm, and will keep you dry in a downpour. Pit zips and breathable construction make it a great working piece. I love the insulated hood and the two way zipper plus a waist button make this an ideal belay parka for gnarly weather. I usual layer it over a long sleeve, but it's great as a toss on coat in-between burns bouldering or climbing routes as well. It's my favorite all around jacket I've ever used.
This featherweight waterproof shell packs down to nothing, and serves as great protection in heinous rain and snow. Where it really shines though, is in its breathability. The Gore Active Shell is perfect for high output - fast and light - type days, you won't have to keep stopping to change because this thing will keep you cool and dry. I like the cut of the Beta as well - fits well under a harness, but it's not too bulky so you stay mobile. Ultra adjustable cuffs, two simple zipper pockets and a well designed Storm Hood finish it off.
This is quickly becoming my favorite harness. All the lightweight, comfortable features of the 220, except this rig has got four gear loops - plenty of space for a full rack, draws and extras. Don't let the haul loop in the back fool you - it may look wimpy but I've jugged with over a hundred pounds on it. And like all of the WARP harnesses, this folds down to nothing. The colors are bad ass too…
These gloves are the next level. Unimaginable dexterity for a fully waterproof glove. A totally removable liner acts as a nice glove by itself - 2 gloves in one. So far I have beat them up - even rappelling and belaying with them, and they show no signs of wear. The velcro cuff is detailed and beautiful - and snugs up the glove nice and tight. Definitely should be on every winter sports and cold weather climbers list.
All of the Phase products are pretty sweet, but this is my favorite piece so far. It's simple - just a great cut with a dead bird on the chest and some reflective strips on the arms. The fit is a little baggy - it goes over a t-shirt well. I use it for climbing, hanging out and also as a base layer piece. It's ultra light, but offers a nice amount of protection and will not smell awful after a day of hard work like some synthetic materials.
Adventus Pant
This burly pant is the perfect weight for a cool day out climbing or adventuring. It'll stand up to some serious abuse, and yet doesn't feel too bulky to limit mobility. The laminated zipper pocket keeps your goodies secure, and when the cragging day is over there's no need to change-- these are equally suited for a night out.
Gamma MX Hoodie
Arc'teryx is well known for exceptional durability, but the Gamma is downright armor! I've been saving this piece just for the days of aggressive bushwhacking, new routing or exploring. It is the most durable garment I've ever used. Soft touch fabric around the face is nice, and the cut runs big so throwing this on top of a layer or two is no problem. The mesh backing of the chest and waist pockets act as vents too, improving breathability when needed.
Delta LT Zip Jacket
A killer light weight fleece that packs down to nearly nothing. I keep mine (in Silverstone) clean for rest days and fancy dates, but it works as a great mid-layer at the crag or on the approach as well. Simple, great cut, and a very desirable weight.
Cam SV Glove
A very comfortable glove that offers a surprising amount of warmth. These are perfect for a day in the mountains, shoveling the walk or belaying on bitter days. The velcro cuff, soft fleece liner and beautiful design are icing on the cake.
Spear 20
A rad little pack. I really like the brightly colored interior fabric-- making it easy to see to the bottom, even in low light. Room for a hydration pack and the slim cut with a roll top closure makes this a great pack for mountain biking or a summit sprint. The support system will not let you down either-- you could fill the bag with cement and still it'd carry well.

Baltimore County Department of Planning
It's always a challenge to find money for home repairs. It's even harder if you are a low income homeowner.
Over 30 years, Baltimore County has assisted thousands of low income homeowners by providing funds for repairs to their homes. The Baltimore County Department of Planning's Neighborhood Improvement Division administers a pool of federal and State allocated funds that help homeowners keep their houses safe and healthy.
Funds can be used to repair or replace major heat, electrical or plumbing systems; eliminate safety hazards; install energy improvements such as windows, doors, and insulation; and modify homes to make them more accessible for people with disabilities. Assistance is provided in the form of low- or zero percent interest rate loans. Grants may be provided under certain circumstances.
Lead paint poses a serious health risk to children and pregnant women. Baltimore County has been awarded $3 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to assist low income homeowners and rental property owners in eliminating hazards caused by deteriorating lead paint. Qualified applicants for this program will receive a free risk assessment identifying any lead hazards that may be present in the home. If any hazards are found, the program covers the cost of remediating these hazards.
With assistance from our federal and State partners, Baltimore County is working to preserve the health and safety of our homes and neighborhoods.

Printable View
Just for info, several years ago I read where a guy took a British 303 barrel and cut it down to make it 7.62x39 and put it into an AK rifle.
Soo... I gave the Lithgow to a friend, as reported earlier. Then a guy here on gunco made me "an offer I couldn't refuse" on a Longbranch barreled action. And I found that Sarco has Navy Arms .45-70 Enfield barrels for $85, and... a quick phone call, and one is on the way.
Apparently (possibly?) Navy Arms used both No1 and No4 actions; different reviews said No1 and No4, anyway. Some other sources claim the tenon threads are different, some say all SMLE threads are the same... looks like I'll find out for sure soon.
Looks like two switchbarrel Enfields will be built in parallel. I have a spare barrel, so it looks like I'll be starting with .303 Epps (basically .303 Ackley Improved; I can rent the reamer for $35), 7.62x54R, and .45-70. Bob wants .410, .45-70, and 7.52x54R to start with, though I'll lean on him to pick up a spare barrel so I can chamber it for Epps while I have the reamer here.
I keep looking at the Beowulf reamer sitting by the keyboard, but that's outside the safe range for an SMLE action. On the other hand, .50-110 would be doable...
The Enfield's unusual flat bolt face and generous extractor travel means it will feed various different rims without need for modification. I've even found a few reports of people who converted their SMLEs to 7mm Mauser, and there's a company out there right now doing conversions to 7.62x39.
Hello TRX,
The SMLE's use a 14 TPI V-thread barrel shank which would be handy for an interchangeable system. The old trick is to use a catch to lock the barrel once snugged in place. The catch precludes further tightening or loosening. Thus each new caliber can be set up with this same catch and headspaced !!!
The 45-70 conversion is an oldie. The brass is a bit spendy these days. A buddy showed me some 45-70 brass he dug up at the range. The headstamp was dated 1873. The range was at Ft Apache.
The benchrest guys seem to go with a strap wrench to remove and replace the barrels. That's what I'm planning to do. The old leverguns and Arisakas used various cams or levers to keep the barrels from wiggling around in short or interrupted threads.
.45-70 brass has gone up a lot. Believe it or not, it's more expensive than .50 Beowulf! But you can actually buy .45-70, and I've been back-ordered on Beowulf for nine months now...
There are a lot of ways to go about headspacing. The one I'm planning to do is cut the barrel back a bit so I can use a thick washer between the barrel and breech. Cut the barrel back some random distance, screw it in until it is against the no-go guage, back it off a hair, measure, and then face off the washer to the correct thickness. It would be hard to hide the washer, so I'll probably make it out of stainless steel or something and make it stand out.
Using a washer would also let me correct for thread wear, should any occur. Just make new washers as needed. Thread wear is not supposed to be an issue according to the benchrest guys, though.
Hello All,
Having done both the 7.62x54R and 7.62x39 conversions on Enfields, I can tell you the it is maddeningly easy! The best way to do the 7.62x54R that I have found is to convert to a Savage style nut. The hardest part of the conversion (if you have to set the barrel back) is re-cutting the extractor relief on the breech end of the barrel.
7.62x39 if pathetically simple. If your rifle is in good shape, and the chamber and throat are not too out of spec, use a chamber insert.
Here are the links:

And here is the story:
J.B. HohlfeldNOTE - it would appear that information referred to below regarding Bill Black and Sante Fe
Gunsmithing is outdated or unavailable. If we find replacement data we will update this page.
Upon hearing about the conversion of the British .303 SMLE rifle to the 7.62x54R Chicom/Russian cartridge, most people have two basic reactions:
We will assume that you already have a .303 SMLE, and that you have been watching the size of your shot groups getting bigger with the passage of time. Is your barrel "shot out"? Highly doubtful, but you are seeing serious indicators of chamber "throat erosion". The greater the throat erosion, the lower your accuracy potential, ergo, your shot groups continue to get bigger, with more "wild" shots. If you decide to rebarrel, you are looking at about $300.00 for a new barrel and installation. However, if you decide to have your existing rifle rechambered to "54R, you are looking at about $160.00.
- (1) Hey, that sounds interesting. Followed by,
(2) Why do you want to do that?
Since we were discussing accuracy, and the fall-off of accuracy, let's look at a real life example. A few months ago, Aaron Zelman sent us his personal No. 4, MK-1, .303SMLE for rechambering to the "54R" cartridge. During our pre-rechambering bench testing of his .303 SMLE, our best shooter, Lawrence Lucero, was able to produce a 1 1/2 inch group at 100-yards, using an unknown type of .303 FMJ ball ammunition. This test confirmed that the rifle's bore was in good condition, and Aaron had lucked out on his $70.00 surplus rifle. After rechambering Aaron's rifle to the "54R" cartridge, we ran another bench test using surplus Chicom and an unknown european type of 180gr FMJ ball. Again Lawrence was the shooter, and the final test group using the 180gr FMJ ball produced a 3/4-inch group at 100-yards, which is outstanding for a $70.00 surplus rifle! It has been our experience, that you can expect at least a 25% reduction in your shot group size, with a 50% reduction, as seen with Aaron's rifle, not being uncommon.
I should mention that we have executed the "54R" conversion on several SMLE's for ongoing field testing of the concept and of the surplus ammo, available. Example: Our first No.4 MK-1 now has about 500-rounds fired through it, while or "tanker" No. 4, MK-1 only has 200-rounds fired through it. Speaking of our "Tanker", it is a very nice rifle, with excellent balance and carry weight, which should translate well in a field environment.
With regard to surplus ammunition, .303 British ammo is available, but much of it will get you duds and hang-fires. The better quality .303 ammo is about $163.00 per 500-rounds of FMJ ball. Whereas, $100.00 can get you 880-rounds of "54R" FMJ ball ammo.
Thus far, we have tested Russian, Chicom, and Bulgarian 7.62x54R in projectile loadings of 147gr to 180gr. With the exception of any of the lacquered type cartridge cases, we have had few problems with this surplus ammo, and have been surprised by the accuracy of much of it. To date, we have not tested the 7.62x54R, 204gr soft point hunting loads, but we assume they will work well since they are 1997 production. (NOTE: With regard to lacquered cases, and in particular lacquered-steel cases, we discovered the hard way, that they have a tendency to really hang-up in the chamber after firing, due to "lacquer Flow")
For those interested in ballistics, the following will give you a brief overview:
(Cartridges of the World) .303 Chamber Pressures; 45,000-48,000 PSI "54R" Chamber Pressures; 45,000 PSI
(Sieria/Speer Reloading Manuals)
.303: .311Dia, RNSP, 180gr, 2,600FPS
100yd 200yd 300yd 400yd 500yd 600yd
0.0" -4.9" -17.9" -41.0" -77.2" -123.6"
"54R": .311Dia, SPT, 180gr, 2,600FPS

0.0" -4.6" -16.4" -37.0" -68.3" -122.4"
So, after reading all of the above, are you begining to rethink the original question? Good. By the way, did I mention that the Chicom's and Russian's are still using the 7.62x54R cartridge in their belt-fed general purpose machineguns, and their SVD sniper rifles?

I always liked the Savage barrel nut system. I may use that for one of the other barrels later.
The idea of a curved x39 AK magazine hanging underneath an SMLE is almost as weird as the idea of an AK in 12 gauge...
I didn't read through all of the posts but there shouldn't be any worry with the strength of the action when using 7.62x54R ammo. The SMLE was a very strong action.
The bad thing about forums is, I get involved with a thread one day, then forget where it was a few days later. Somewhere in the multiverse I was following a thread about rebarreling Enfields, and someone said Sarco had Navy Arms .45-70 barrels for $85. I checked Sarco's web site and couldn't find them, so I called. The guy had to go look for them, but yeah, they had them. Navy / Gibbs / Parker made a couple of runs of SMLEs in .45-70 a few years ago. You can find the 3-shot magazines for the outrageous price of $75 in various places, but this was the barrel, "chambered and threaded", 22" long. Hell, yes!
It came in today. It's 1.1" at the breech for 5", steps abruptly down to 1", and a straight taper to 3/4" at the muzzle. I didn't even notice the taper at first; my first thought was "bull barrel?" The .458 hole is impressively large. There is no extractor cut and no index mark, which is fine. It won't screw into the No.1 receiver I have handy, but the starting thread on the barrel looks munged, like it was dropped. I'll hit it with the thread file and try again. The receiver I got from Longbranch is primo, but I haven't removed the barrel yet.
This barrel is brand new, but it's from Sarco. The bore is nice and bright, but the outside had been pretty rusty. Looks like someone put it on a lathe and tried to sandpaper the rust off, but there are still pits and blotches. I was planning to Parkerize the receiver and all the barrels so everything would match, so no big deal, but if someone wanted to blue a barrel, it'd be worth telling the salesman explicitly that you wanted a nice one. Still, for $85, ($96 to my door) I'm not complaining.
Okay, a member on another forum was kind enough to let me borrow his Gibbs Frontier for a while. It was a Lithgow Mk1 virtually identical to one of the receivers I have, which made the comparison much easier than it might otherwise have been.
Basically, the magic is in the magazine.
The Gibbs magazine has very short lips on the top. It's also single stack. The magazine presents the rim of the cartridge to the "thumbnail" cutouts on the underside of the receiver. These grab the rim and force the whole cartridge up into line with the breech as it moves forward for the first half inch or so.
It sounds complex, but if you look at an SMLE from the magazine well opening you can see how it works.
Where I was getting fixated was, all of the rifles and pistols I've dealt with before stripped their cartridges straight out of the magazine, which was sometimes notched for bolt clearance, or the cartridges slipped off the magazine at an angle, with the nose entering the breech and the base being levered up as the cartridge went in. I thought the Enfield did that, too. Of course I have a receiver, barrel, and bolt so far, with no magazine yet...
The .45-70 still won't fit into the .45-70 barrel screwed into the Enfield receiver; the rim wedges into the rails about 3/4 inch from the breech ring. It looks like the Gibbs people used a Dremel with a 1/2" sanding drum and reached in and took off .010 to .015" of the sharp corners at the bottom, not much more than just rounding the corners off. That's all it takes for the cartridge to slide forward.
There's a bulkhead in the receiver ring; the rim must pass through, and it's too big. Gibbs probably used a lathe to open it up. I thought the rifle's owner might not appreciate wrench marks, so I didn't pull the barrel for a look. Opening up the ring would be simple enough with a grinder if you didn't have a lathe; it's just clearance for the rim.
That's it for the receiver mods!
Like I said earlier, the magic is in the magazine. The magic consists of the short feed lips, which are 1-1/16" long, with the front edges cut back about 45 degrees.
The lips are so short that if you hold the magazine upside down, a cartridge will hang down at a 45 degree angle. The lips just hold the rim for long enough to get it started into the "fingernail mark" guide cuts in the receiver.
It's a single-stack magazine. There's a rib stamped into the front that guides the front of the cartridge. In back, they spot welded some L-shaped pieces of sheet metal. These are way back and close to the cartridge, and keep the rims lined up neatly. The rims can't pass forward and let the cartridges slam back and forth in the magazine, and they hold them in position to present to the fingernail marks. If the cartridge slid forward in the magazine when the bolt picked up the rim, it'd jam in the receiver rails.
I don't see any particular reason you couldn't modify a standard SMLE magazine to work the same way.
The magazine holds three rounds. As advertised, you can put four in there, but you get a big wedgie when you try to work the bolt. Five cartridges will fit, same problem.
I played with this for a couple of hours. My best guess is that A) the magazine spring is too weak and B) the follower gets tilted as the cartridges feed, letting things wedge up. I think it should be possible to tweak the magazine to feed four or five cartridges reliably, and I don't see any big reason they can't be double-stacked like the standard Enfield layout.
What it looks like is, Gibbs allocated a certain amount of time or money to the magazine work, then ran out of time (or money) and said, "to heck with it, just tell them not to put more than three in there."
Working the bolt took a bit of authority. The blunt front of the .45-70 bumps against inside bits the pointy .303 slides right past. After an evening's experimentation, I had a bunch of .45-70s with noticeably battered noses. You don't have to be abusive, but if you try to flick the bolt back and forth like you can with a .303, it's likely the cartridge will get a wedgie and you'll have to either force it or open the bolt and straighten it out.
It looks like you could safely grind clearances into the receiver to fix this. I'm guessing Gibbs didn't do it due to expense - it worked, and it was in inexpensive hunting rifle on a war-surplus action, what do you want for $299?
That would also explain the ejection problem. The Gibbs flings empty brass just fine. Trying to clear a loaded round will usually give you another wedgie.
If you look at an Enfield receiver ring, you'll see a notch up at the right side front just about the side to hold a pencil. The notch is to clear the point of a .303 bullet. The ,45-70 bullet is much bigger, and the notch needs to be bigger too. Again, opening it up should be safe and simple.
You might wonder why the cartridge wouldn't eject properly when it's short enough to slide entirely back from the breech. The cutout shouldn't be necessary. The reason is the rim gets caught on some of the edges near the back, and it gets stuck. A tiny amount of grinding or polishing might well fix the problem; it might be preferable to clearancing the ring.
I wound up clearing loaded rounds by dropping the magazine, opening the bolt, and letting the chambered round drop out.
Now, we're talking about very small amounts of interference here; with normal production tolerances, it's likely that not all the Gibbs guns do this. It's a bit quirky, but again, how much custom gunsmithing do you expect for the price?
Frankly, I don't see how they could justify the blueing job, which (in my opinion) was freakin' gorgeous. They'd done some polishing on the surplus bits, and the barrel was slick. I'm used to phosphated military stuff, and I felt like a vandal every time I put a greasy fingerprint on the Gibbs.
The bolt is a matte silver color; various articles say it's chromed, and it does indeed look like industrial matte chrome. The fit is snug and the movement is smooth. I'll probably send mine off somewhere to have it done; the couple of thousandths of plating really snugs up the fit.
could the smle action handle 458 socom? its just a bit more powerful than 45-70, cheaper, more compact.. i've got this sporter enfield that i was thinking of converting to 7.62x39, but .458? that would be something else..

Sophomore Jack Reinheimer
April 11, 2012
Highlights & Interviews l Live Chat Replay l Box Score
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Old Dominion (12-21) scored an unearned run in the top of the ninth inning and withstood an East Carolina (23-9-1) rally in the bottom half of the frame to claim a 3-2 victory on Wednesday night at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium.
With the game tied at two, Chris Baker reached on an infield single to spark the Monarch rally. Josh Tutwiler failed to advance Baker to third as he popped out to catcher Zach Wright on a sacrifice bunt attempt. Pirate reliever Andy Smithmyer then struck out pinch-hitter Donald Engler, leaving ODU with a runner on second and two outs. Brent Frazier followed by drawing a walk. Smithmyer induced a pop-up on the infield off the bat of Shawn Sizemore, but third baseman Corey Thompson wasn't able to make the catch, allowing Baker to score the go-ahead run and stake the Monarchs to a 3-2 advantage. Tanner Merritt recorded the final out of the inning for the Pirates, picking off Sizemore at first.
Zach Wright led off the bottom of the ninth stanza with a single up the middle off ODU closer Dean Ali for his second hit of the night. Bryan Bass struck out looking after failing to execute a sacrifice bunt early in his at-bat. Jack Reinheimer followed with a screaming shot to second base, which caromed off the chest of Brandon Shelton, putting runners at first and second for the Pirates with just one out. Philip Clark then reached on a fielder's choice as Ali fielded the chopper in front of the mound and fired to second for the force out. Pinch-hitter Nick Thompson stepped to the plate and flied out to right field for the final out, securing the win for the Monarchs.
Brandon Smith (5-1) earned the win for Old Dominion, tossing three scoreless innings of relief while walking just one and striking out a trio of Pirates. Ali was credited with the save, his first of the season. Starter Greg Tomchick scattered a pair of hits over three frames, while Dylan Bratton surrendered both Pirate runs in two innings of work.
Old Dominion seized a 2-0 advantage in the top of the third against ECU starter DeShorn Lake. Brandon Shelton singled to begin the frame and later scored on Josh Wright's two-run home run just inside the left field foul pole. Lake lasted 2 1/3 innings, yielding five hits and two runs (both earned) while striking out a pair in his first collegiate start.
The Pirates knotted the score at two in the bottom of the fourth. Wright delivered a two-out single and Bass followed by drawing a walk, moving Wright to second. Both runners scored after Reinheimer produced a two-out triple to center field, which fell in between three Monarch defenders and bounced into center far enough for the sophomore shortstop to take third.
Jake Harris kept Old Dominion off the scoreboard in 4 1/3 innings while not allowing a hit and issuing just one free pass. Smithmyer (2-2) suffered the loss, surrendering one unearned run on one hit while walking one and striking out three in two innings of work.
Reinheimer and Wright combined for four of ECU's six hits each recording multi-hit games. Sophomore Drew Reynolds saw his 11-game hit streak come to an end as the Cherryville, N.C. native went 0-for-4 at the plate.
No. 24 East Carolina returns to the diamond Friday, Apr. 13 at 7:30 p.m. (EST) when they travel to Memphis for a three-game Conference USA tilt. Senior lefty Kevin Brandt (4-2, 1.98 ERA) will square off against Tiger right-hander Dan Langfield (5-3, 2.96 ERA).

Embrocation Basics: Part I
Submitted by David on
Embrocation Basics: Part I
By: Michael J. Zerinskas
BALM Co. - www.balmco.com
With temperatures dipping below 50° here in Colorado, many cyclists and runners are left pondering days in the gym, hours on fluid trainers, and 8oz curls on the couch. With the right clothing choice and a healthy dose of embrocation, you can ditch those winter blues and be back out on your favorite routes no matter how low the temps go.
In this two-part series, courtesy of BALM Co., you will the basics of what an embrocation is, how to use it, and how to choose the right one for you.
PART I - What is Embro?
When athletes refer to embrocation they are generally talking about a cream or gel that is applied to the legs prior to activity. While not always the case, embrocation has a warming effect that ranges from stimulating to 'holy habanero'.
Embrocation has four main uses:
Warming Sensation: Embrocation provides a varying degree of warmth to the applied area due to increased blood flow, as well as the reaction to the ingredients contained in it. Embrocations are typically rated with a usable range (ex: 45-60°); this is usually based on exposed skin. Knee and leg warmers can be worn over Embro to increase this usable range and further cut through cold and wind.
Increased Blood Flow: Embrocation improves blood flow to the area applied due to the ingredients contained in it, namely capsicum. The compound, which is found in peppers, stimulates nerve endings and directs blood to the area. While your body's initial reaction to cold weather is to draw blood away from the limbs, embro redirects this process. Increased blood flow allows for faster warm up, increased oxygenation, and the potential for higher power output.
Pre-Activity Massage: When athletes' muscles are used (and abused) everyday, they build up stores of lactic acid within them. While a post-workout massage works wonders to flush the muscles of built up acid, some always remains. By working an embrocation into the skin pre-activity, you increase the blood flow available to the area, which in turn flushes this leftover acid from the muscles. A pre-activity massage also stretches the muscle, preparing it for exercise. Five to six minutes is all you really need; a cheap investment for your upcoming workout.
Protection From the Elements: By adding a thermal layer to the skin, the skin is isolated from the wind and elements around it. Some embrocations use a visible, thick layer on the skin to achieve this, while others have active ingredients that create a thin layer you can barely feel.

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) - Tim Turner had three catches for touchdowns and East Tennessee State scored 23 unanswered points in the second quarter Sept. 2 to beat Liberty 37-20.
Turner averaged almost 50 yards in each of his three catches from Todd Wells, who went 7-for-18 for 283 yards. The Bucs (1-0) added 160 yards on the ground, including an 82-yard touchdown run by Terrance Sims in the second quarter.
The Flames (0-1) came back with 13 points late in the game on two field goals and a fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Biff Parson to Peter Foy, but the Flames couldn't overcome the Bucs' early lead.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Gary Guyton unfiltered
Gary Guyton wants to turn the page on his former life.
No matter how enjoyable, or unpleasant his four-year run with the New England Patriots was, Guyton didn't have much to say about his former team, which he started 32 games for, when asked.
The new Miami Dolphins linebacker, who contributed 47 tackles and an interception last season, wanted to put his former life behind him, starting fresh with Miami, the New England's AFC East rival.
Guyton hasn't learned his role with the Dolphins, which were paper thin at outside linebacker before his signing last week. But he's excited about the opportunity to compete for playing time, and possibly a starting role.
"I'm just ready to focus on getting in, learning what I got to learn, get around the guys," Guyton said. "Everything else will play out as it comes into the season and everything starts rolling."
Here is what else the former Georgia Tech standout had to say on Tuesday.
(On what was the selling point to sign with the Dolphins) – "Really, I just wanted to come in and contribute. Come in and be a Dolphin. Come in here with the help of the coaches. That was a good selling point for me. Talking to the coaches and now I'm here."
(On do you know why you're role with the Patriots decreased towards the end of the season) – "No, not really too much. Whatever happened there, just happened. So I just moved on."
(On did you feel like your time with the Patriots towards the end of the season was over) – "As the season came down things change every year so I had a possibility going into free agency and which I did now. Now, I'm a Dolphin."
(On what did you learn from your tenure with New England) – "Really, just how to be professional and how to play the game so I learned a lot when I was there. I had a good time there. Bill (Belichick) is a great coach. He did a good job bringing me up. So just being able to learn the game and learn everything I can do from the game of football."
(On New England not re-signing you, did it bother you) – "At the end of the day, it is going to be what it's going to be, so things happen. I'm not a Patriot no more. Now, I'm a Dolphin."
(On your first meeting with the Dolphins and what he liked about the defense that will be installed in Miami) – "Basically, just being here and telling the coaches what they see in me so I'm here. Talked to the coaches to see how things were and it was a good feeling to come out here and talk to Coach (Joe) Philbin, other coaches, Coach Kevin (Coyle) and Coach (George) Edwards. Come in here and talk to these guys it was a good feeling."
(On what position do you feel the most comfortable playing) – "I'm just here to play the game of football so whatever team it is or what's going on. Hopefully, I'll be in it and I'll be able to contribute."
(On if you're going playing the middle linebacker position this season) – "I have no idea. It's still a long ways out from the season so I guess we'll see how things pan out as the season goes along."
(You were one of the fastest linebackers in the 2008 draft class. How big of an asset is you speed) – "The game of football is very fast. I'm not the slowest turtle in the bunch if you would so that's always been a good thing for me was my speed. So I love my speed and my speed loves me (laughing)."
(On how many teams did you visit before signing with Miami) – "I can't recall right now. I had some teams lined up. But we're excited though."
(On what made you choose Miami) – "Being here, it felt good. It felt good to be here because I talked to the coaches and they're good coaches and I seen what they've done. And it's where I want to be."
(On what were your impressions playing the Dolphins) – "They're always a good ball club, very competitive, and they play very hard ball. So it wasn't an easy win by no shape, form, or fashion. Good ball club and just guys that want to come out and compete."

My colleague, Matt Palm, recently got a chance to check out the new The Abbey in downtown Orlando, that is scheduled to open on April 8. This space is not to be confused with Abbey, the wonderful beer and wine bar in DeLand.
Speaking of Abbey, it was just mentioned in "Imbibe" magazine's "The 100 Best Places to Drink In The South" list. Unfortunately, it was the only spot mentioned from Central Florida. It would have been nice to see Orlando bar Redlight Redlight on the list as well. They deserve it just as much.
Back to the new The Abbey. Here's what Matt had to say:
The curtain is just about ready to rise on The Abbey, a new intimate performance venue/bar/lounge/cabaret all-around nightspot set to open on the ground floor of the offices that Florida Theatrical Association share with True Marketing. Read more…

Danielle Saxton: Illinois woman posted Facebook selfies in shoplifted dress, say police
WEST FRANKFORT, Ill. - An Illinois woman's Facebook pictures landed her in jail.
Police said 27-year-old Danielle Saxton, of West Frankfort, shoplifted from a downtown boutique last week. Then, she posted pictures of herself wearing the stolen merchandise, police said. The images quickly spread on Facebook, and led officers straight to her.
"What she stole was a very distinct leopard dress," store co-owner Kert Williams told ABC affiliate WSIL TV. "(She stole) a dress, a couple shirts, some jewelry, couple items like that," Williams said.
Williams reviewed video from store security cameras and posted about the theft on Facebook. Thanks to the pictures on Saxton's Facebook account, other users immediately put two and two together.
"We just had a description and a direction of travel, but when the social media aspect played into it, we were able to identify who it was. And by looking at the background of the photograph we were able to pinpoint where she was at," said Police Chief Shawn Talluto.
Talluto said Saxton still had the clothes in her hand when officers arrived. They arrested her and later found she was wanted on another warrant in Jackson County. Talluto's not surprised by the help from social media.
"When you put something out there, it's a matter of minutes before it can go viral, and it can go to the world," Talluto explained.
Saxton has since removed the photos from her Facebook page.

Arriving at the outset of the eighties, the Irish group U2 brought passion and commitment back to rock and roll. The four band members – vocalist Bono (born Paul Hewson), guitarist the Edge (Dave Evans), bass player Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. – formed the group at Mount Temple School in Dublin in 1976. Originally called Feedback, then the Hype, U2 developed a local following playing in clubs. In 1978, they won a battle of the bands that eventually led to their first recording, an EP called U2-3. In 1999, Bono shifted his focus from music into social politics. He became a fixture on the front pages of newspapers, as he made his way around the globe and met with world leaders. By the end of 2002, the escalating AIDS crisis in Africa had become Bono's major focus. Meanwhile, in 2004, U2 released How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, which contained some of Bono's most personal lyrics. Twenty-five years after U2 formed at a Dublin high school, the group has remained together with the same lineup, an almost unheard-of feat in the music world. They are also the biggest rock group in the world that continues to tour frequently. U2 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
The exhibit includes one of the two basses custom designed for Adam Clayton's use during the PopMart tour, and Bono's American flag-lined jacket from U2's performance at the Superbowl XXXVI half-time show. Also included are two 1979 rejection letters from RSO and Arista records sent to U2 while the band was looking for a recording contract.

On a Thanksgiving visit to Giles County, Va., we met Allen Neely, a true mountain man who shared his passion for tree burls.
A burl is an abnormality in which bud cells have grown in a chaotic manner, dividing in many directions to create a spherical shape.
Burls are commonly found in the form of rounded outgrowths or bumps on a tree trunk or branch.
Other burls grow attached to roots beneath the ground, and may not be discovered until the tree dies or falls.
Almost all burl wood is covered by bark even if it is underground.
The National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century's newest chapter, the Land of the Waxhaws, was chartered Oct. 20 at the historic Van Wyck Presbyterian Church.
Jane Massey, president of the new chapter, conducted the chartering ceremony, with the help of national and state officers, to celebrate the chartering of S.C. chapter No. 26.
The Rev. J.R. McSpadden, minister of Van Wyck Presbyterian Church, greeted and welcomed the group to the Waxhaws area.
ACL; do those three letters ring a bell?
If we look back at the historical and scientific study of the human body, it isn't normal for 10- to 13-year-olds to suffer an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) strain or tear.
However, the reality is this type of injury is becoming more common for today's young athletes.
Research shows that a few possible causes could be compensation of over-tightened and imbalanced muscles and various other altered functional movement patterns.
An unveiling ceremony for a historical maker designating the Old Clyburn Plantation was held Nov. 10 , just in time for Veteran's Day.
The site of the old plantation home, located at the corner of Gold Mine Highway (S.C. 601) and Tom Gregory Road in Kershaw, marks the legacy of a family whose history predates the Civil War. The keynote speaker at the ceremony was Melody Clyburn Craig, chair of the Lancaster County Historical Commission. Craig is also the great-granddaughter of Thomas Lorenzo Clyburn, who built the Clyburn Plantation.
Although the phenomenon of leaves changing color is still not completely understood, we know that it is primarily influenced by three things.
The least variable of these factors is the increasing length of night.
As nights grow longer and cooler, biochemical processes are triggered in leaves.
The second contributor is the pigmentation present. Chlorophyll is the dominant pigment that makes leaves green.
It absorbs sunlight to produce sugars for food.

At the intersection of Highway 9 Bypass and Highway No. 9, a Blue Star Memorial marker stands proud, once again, to pay tribute to the present and fallen members of our military.
This is an ongoing project of the Lancaster Council of Garden Clubs, the Veterans' Administration, and the South Carolina Department of Transportation.
This Memorial Marker to all Veterans was placed on the Bypass about 10 years ago.
The Lancaster 4-H Horse Club is collecting non-perishable foods for HOPE in Lancaster, Inc., through Dec. 21.
Just one or two items can go a long way in helping families in need.
While all non-perishable foods will be appreciated, HOPE has the following needs at this time: self rising flour, cornmeal, sugar, grits, canned evaporated milk, jelly, peanut butter, juice, canned beans (except green beans), canned squash, canned sweet potatoes and canned tomatoes.
From release
Artisans from South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia will gather at St. Luke United Methodist Church in the Elgin Community on Dec. 1 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to display and sale fine quality folk art that reflects Southern Heritage through a variety of art forms. Art will include – but is not limited to – pottery, textiles, carvings, baskets, jewelry and paintings.
"The scarlet of maples can shake me like a cry of bugles going by."
– William Carman
I have loved maple trees since I was a little girl living on a street named Maple Lane.
I remember playing in our schoolyard and watching the double-winged fruit of old maples spiral slowly to the ground.
We children called them "helicopters."
One of the first things I did when I came to our farm in 1982 was plant two maple trees near the house.

USCL's Rotaract Club held a meeting recently at a newly constructed picnic shelter on the grounds of the University of South Carolina Lancaster, behind the Gregory Health and Wellness Center.
The shelter was the result of a great deal of community effort, said Professor Robert Collins, instructor of Economics at USCL.

Atlantic was at the forefront of great independent labels that sprang up in the late Forties, challenging the primacy of the major labels of the time (RCA, Columbia and Decca) by discovering, developing and nurturing new talent.

"While we're a thriving metropolis that is proud of its rich culinary depth, New York has too many residents who are unable to even eat," writes New York Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Lilliam Barrios-Paoli, in this editorial posted yesterday in the New York Daily News.
"More than a third of New Yorkers struggle to afford food. That means children are hungry at school, parents working multiple jobs cannot provide for their loved ones, and families must sometimes choose between putting food on the table and paying bills.
That should not be our New York. But since the Great Recession in 2008, food insecurity has been a growing reality. ..
A major tool in the fight against hunger is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as food stamps. More than 1.8 million New Yorkers receive food stamps, contributing $3.5 billion to the city's economy. But there are hundreds of thousands of others who are eligible for this aid but don't receive it. Providing more language translation, removing application barriers and coordinating outreach are measures we will focus on.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that every $1 in food stamps generates $1.79 in local economic activity. Not only are families suffering needlessly without access to these benefits, but low-income communities lose out on more than $1 billion each year in economic stimulus…
Reversing the tide against hunger will take a coordinated effort from lawmakers, community groups and everyday New Yorkers. Together, we can create an environment that reminds everyone why we are the greatest city on the planet: We look out for one another."
Lilliam Barrios-Paoli
At Catholic Charities, "looking out for one another" is what we are all about. For more than 100 years we have been fighting hunger and helping solve the problems of New Yorkers in need, non-Catholics and Catholics alike. We help with emergency food programs throughout the City; including St. Jerome's in the Bronx where Msgr. Sullivan pitched in to serve the hungry yesterday.
Recently, Msgr. Kevin Sullivan and fellow Catholic Charities representatives met with Deputy Mayor Barrios-Paoli. We are working collaboratively with organizations across the City to intensively promote Food Stamp enrollment. And we are assigning case management staff to enroll qualified New Yorkers receiving food at our pantries into the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps.)

Prior to becoming one of the original members of the Canadian Opera Company, Glenn Gardiner was a pilot who joined the RCAF in 1940, flying 23 missions until May 6, 1942, when his plane was shot down over Belgium. He was captured and transported to Stalag Luft III, site of the now-famous Great Escape. Gardiner acted as a lookout for the diggers, but was not one of the 79 who attempted escape because he suffered from claustrophobia. Gardiner spent exactly three years as a POW.
After the war, Gardiner returned to Toronto to study at the Toronto Conservatory of Music (later the Royal Conservatory), after which he met teacher Ernesto Vinci and the COC's first General Director Herman Gieger-Torel who plunged him into the world of opera. For the COC, Gardiner sang in all the productions of the company's first two years Rigoletto, Don Giovanni and La Bohème (1950), and Le nozze di Figaro, Madama Butterfly and Faust (1951). He also sang the role of John Sorel in Gian-Carlo Menotti's The Consul in 1953 and 1954 among many other roles.
During the war, bass-baritone Andrew MacMillan performed for the troops as a member of the Canadian Army Show. While he had already appeared extensively in operettas and musicals in Montreal during the 1930s, it wasn't until the war was over that he began studying in earnest at the Royal Conservatory under Ernesto Vinci. In 1949 MacMillan became Herman Geiger-Torel's teaching assistant, and in 1950 joined the company as both a singer and assistant stage director. Over the years, MacMillan was a valuable member of the company's artistic roster singing lead roles in La Bohème, The Consul, Die Fledermaus, The Magic Flute, and The Marriage of Figaro. In addition, he directed Madama Butterfly in 1962, La Bohème in 1963 and 1965, and Die Fledermaus in 1964.
Tenor James (Jimmie) Shields was already a well-known performer on radio and touring shows throughout the 1930s in Canada and the US, singing with the big bands of Morton Gould and Eddie Duchin, as well as appearing on the immensely popular radio shows hosted by Jack Benny, Fred Allen, and Fibber McGee and Molly. He also starred on his own weekly NBC program called Enna Jettick Melodies.
From 1942-1946, he appeared as The Singing Sergeant-Major in the same Canadian Army Show as Andrew MacMillan. After the war, in addition to being a leading performer on CBC Opera, and appearing on stage at Massey Hall with the TSO and various other orchestras, he also sang for the COC. He was Rodolfo in La Bohème (1951 and 1954) and Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly (1951, 1953 and 1956).
The ladies of the COC also participated in the war effort. Mezzo-soprano Joan Hall (Madama Butterfly, The Magic Flute, Rigoletto) remembers that she and others like sopranos Mary Morrison (Faust, The Magic Flute, The Bartered Bride, Così fan tutte, The Marriage of Figaro), Jean Edwards (The Magic Flute, The Marriage of Figaro) and June Kowalchuk (Rigoletto, Madama Butterfly), spent some of their pre-COC years "wearing long johns under our long dresses in the 40 below weather and singing in front of two or three thousand troops!!! In Manitoba!!! We didn't know much about opera, but our stage experience was awesome!"
We remember them all with pride and gratitude. Thank you to the Joan Baillie Archives of the COC for the photographs and memories.

With Falstaff wrapping up its wonderful run at the Four Seasons Centre, we thought we'd ask the members of the low brass section of the COC Orchestra - Charles Benaroya (Principal trombone), Ian Cowie (trombone), Herbert Poole (trombone), and Scott Irvine (tuba/cimbasso) - a bit about what's helping bring Verdi's very human, and humorous opera to life: the valve trombone!
(l-r: Johannes Debus, Musical Director; Charles Benaroya, Principal trombone; Ian Cowie, trombone;
Herbert Poole, bass trombone; and Scott Irvine, tuba/cimbasso.)
You might call Giuseppe Verdi obsessive when it came to the slightest detail, but it's those small changes that truly bring out the mood that the composer was trying to achieve.
That's where the valve trombone comes in.
Verdi envisioned a low brass section that could articulate the very quick, light passages that communicate not only the humor but also the very rich, human tone in the score. Falstaff was also Verdi's last opera, and with decades of experience behind him, he went "all out" and a score that used all of the instruments to their fullest effect.
Charles Benaroya, Principal trombonist in the orchestra explains that when Verdi "was really starting to orchestrate at his best, he had these specific instruments in mind in his last two operas especially [Otello and Falstaff]. Everything gets used really well, in lots of different ways and there are a lot of fun effects [in Falstaff's score]."
Verdi may have very well be pleased with the COC Orchestra, as the COC is only one of two opera companies that recently used these unique instruments in their repertoire! In fact, for most Italian operas the COC low brass will use older instruments to fully realize the composer's intended ideas in the score.
But why go that extra mile? Benaroya explains that "Slide trombones today that are used in symphonies have been trending towards becoming bigger which leads to a broader heavier sounds, which is great if you're announcing the arrival of the Valkyries, or if Salome is dying, but in this music, which is lighter and more humourous, the lighter, crisper sound that you get from the Valve trombones contributes to a more appropriate mood."
What's the difference anyway?
Charles explains what the difference is (and watch below to really hear it!) and why they might have fallen out of fashion:
"On a Slide trombone, I had to articulate [with different breaths], or else you would end with one big 'smear' but on the Valve trombone you can do one stream of air, and the valves do all the work."
"Certain things are easier on a Valve system instead of a slide system, but as the instruments fell out of fashion, and then people stopped writing for them, because they knew they would be played by slide trombone players. The valve trombone never came into common use outside of Italy because the straighter tubing in a slide trombone allows for better airflow through the instrument, leading to a bigger, purer sound."
It might not seem like much of a difference to the average listener, but here's a an excerpt of a passage from Verdi's Falstaff to illustrate how this instrument is bringing the score to life:
FUN FACT: Did you know the instrument being used by Charles (far left in the video clip) was owned by none other than Rob McConnell, founder and Director of the Boss Brass? This renowned group of Toronto-based brass musicians recorded many albums, including recording with famous singers like Mel Tormé!

Rated 3 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chen Happy Like one of the reviewers said, all springform pans leak! I wrap mine with clingwrap then tin foil. Does the trick very well. I'm pretty satisfied with mine. Great bargain. I love World Market cookware and bakeware. April 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kathy Cooks Springform pan A comment regarding the earlier comment that the pan leaks. I have been using springform pans for years (different kinds also) and they pretty much ALL leak. If you have ever watched a cooking show when they are baking something in a spring pan, they always wrap foil up, around the bottom and partly up the sides. Keep in mind, these are professionals using expensive cookware. So the leaking is not a defective springpan, it's just the nature of the beast. October 19, 2010
Rated 3 out of 5 by Rick K. pretty good The previous reviewer was right about it leaking. It is indeed a small problem in certain situations; however, in practical terms, if all you use it for is to make basic Genoise and other cakes, this spring form pan works beautifully. I am still not sure what the other user used her pan for to make it leak, but I am fairly pleased with mine. It is a good bargain at the price you pay for. October 19, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by Peridot It Leaks! It looked great, the price was right, 'non-stick' sounded like a good idea. But it leaks. The reason that I was buying the pan was because my old one (which I've had for 8 years) leaks. I could have saved the money and used the old leaky pan. Trouble is, I don't particularly like cleaning the oven. So my search continues . . . . June 18, 2010

Germantown School Board member calls for gender segregation in health class
Rest of Germantown board does not agree
Germantown - A Germantown School Board member on Monday asked that high school boys and girls be segregated whenever sexuality is discussed in the classroom.
In light of reviewing the School District's policy on its curriculum in relation to Act 216, board member Diana Kline asked that sex education be cut from the curriculum. At the very least, she asked that the board mandate separation between male and female high school students when sexual education is taught in the human growth and development course.
Act 216 says a School District can separate pupils from members of the opposite sex. It also gives the board the power to separate genders when certain curriculum is discussed in relation to human growth and development.
Before Act 216, certain subjects were required to be included in human growth and development instruction. With Act 216, instruction is "recommended," such as discussing the benefits of abstaining from sexual activity.
"I believe sex education is very private," Kline said. "I think it should be discussed between a parent, their child, their clergy and their pediatrician."
Kline said she was overwhelmingly opposed in the Policy Committee meeting, which was held before the board meeting Monday.
"I'm very saddened that we've become such as sexualized society that the majority of a conservative board believes that we should have sex education in our public schools," Kline said.
Director of Curriculum and Learning Maria Kucharski said there is not one particular lesson in the human growth and development curriculum that focuses on sexuality. The curriculum also discusses peer pressure, alcohol and other drug use, emotional development, finances and sexual education is interwoven throughout the semester.
"I don't know how we would divide that," Kucharski said. "Even within the current change in state law, our health curriculum already was all about abstinence, family/marriage focused and I think that's so embedded in the curriculum."
Board member Michael Loth said in Policy Committee they discussed the difficulty of separating high school boys and girls "because these things don't necessarily come up in the same class or the same day."
After a 15 minute discussion, Kline's motion to separate gender when sexual education is discussed was voted down, 6-1. The board then approved the human and growth and development policy that details the curriculum such as instruction will be presented "with abstinence from sexual activity as the preferred choice of behavior for unmarried students."
The policy is in line with the state statute. It also says the district will provide parents annually with an outline of the human growth and development program used in their child's grade level. Parents have the opportunity to excuse their child from certain instruction.

ZF-7188: getDate() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in DateObject.php line 667
Alias : ZF-7185 and ZF-6859
By looking better, the problem is that getUnixTimestamp() (class DateObject) send an empty string when this-> _ unixTimestamp equals null, while getdate() waits null value and not empty string.
A correction which I propose is simple. It is enough to add a line in getUnixTimestamp() , which becomes:
protected function getUnixTimestamp()
if($this->_unixTimestamp === null) return null;
if ($this->_unixTimestamp === intval($this->_unixTimestamp)) {
return (int) $this->_unixTimestamp;
} else {
return (string) $this->_unixTimestamp;
This issue duplicates two issues. If you believe there's still an issue (with the latest version, 1.8.4) please reopen one of these issues instead of creating a new one.
Closing this one as duplicate.

If there is a conference realignment soon most signs point to it being TV contract reasons and revenues from that. That said there are so many different things that could tie into that: ISU in a very, very small market, Notre Dame, recruiting, many more...
If ISU does not go to a conference with decent TV deals in place, do we sink further? How many perspective recruits want to go to University A with no TV time or University B with plenty of TV time? Not only for family to watch but also pro teams that might scout from TVs?
There are so many different ways that the TV contracts seem to be controlling all of the future.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by ttooley Love the size and feel of these cups. Great size doesn't have that feel of a tea cup bought with past sets of dishes October 24, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by steve not what is in the picture, chipped I was disappointed. The picture looks as if there is a luminescent/brownish tinge to the mugs--which I was looking for- and there isn't. They are just plain black. One was chipped as well. I found better ones at K Mart. It wasn't worth it to send back so I just ate the cost. January 24, 2013
